Year Projection Cartomancy Reading with the Pride Knights Playing Cards

The Foundation: Explore the core energies shaping your year, the underlying themes that will set the stage for your journey.

Ten of Clubs – This year has the potential to be not just a year to reflect on and enjoy your successes and stability you’ve created, but to share it and enjoy it all with others as well.

The Challenges: Uncover potential obstacles or lessons that may arise, guiding you to navigate with wisdom and resilience.

Queen of Spades atop Queen of Clubs – Make sure that your snark does not become a bite that hurts others. It can deconstruct all of the progress toward a happy and stable future that you’ve made if you don’t take care to keep yourself steady and supportive instead of sharp and jagged.

Opportunities: Discover the hidden treasures and opportunities awaiting you on your path, encouraging growth and expansion.

King of Hearts – Gideon helps you stay soft and provides guidance towards your emotional growth. Ensure that you don’t lose sight of your goal to spend more time with him this year, and in doing so your own emotional growth will be fostered and expand.

Self-Discovery: Delve into aspects of self that will unfold and evolve throughout the year, fostering personal development and awareness.

Ten of Spades – Seek new ways to move forward from here that will be healthier for you in the long run. Leave the past trials behind and only carry forward with you the lessons you have learned.

Guidance: Seek insight from your spiritual guides or the universe, offering guidance and wisdom to illuminate your path forward.

Eight of Clubs – Sometimes life moves quickly. You need to take care to keep you eye on what you want to achieve, not just in business but in your own self development and self care as well. Foster stability even during those times when things feel like they are moving too quickly.

Questions for December 28th thru 30th

Tarotholics Challenge Tarot Reading with the Naked Heart Tarot

What needs to be purged and/or completed before the end of the year?

Justice – Discarded the “what if” thinking that can often get out of hand. Diligence towards consequences is important, but don’t let it get so out of hand that it holds you back from experiencing life.

What can you do to feel more fulfilled in your day-to-day life?

Nine of Pentacles – Make sure that you are taking time to appreciate your what you have gained and your accomplishments along the way. It’s not arrogance to be grateful for and enjoy the fruits of your labors, no matter what you were taught growing up.

What last minute preparations for the new year need your focus?

Knight of Cups – Set your feet on life’s path in the direction of your pleasure and emotional connectivity. What do you enjoy? What makes you happy? It’s time to focus your energy there. Don’t just wish for it or think about it, but actually begin moving in that direction.

Tarotholics Challege Lenormand Reading with Nöel's X-mas Lenormand

Where should you direct your focus this week to develop healthier boundaries?

Birds and Tower – Watch out for those around you using gossip and persuasion to circumvent your boundaries and limits. Don’t let their chatter distract you.

What do you need to focus on for self-care for this full moon?

Ship and Rider – Don’t let stagnancy seep in and settle into your bones, even while you’re away from home this week. You need a certain amount of movement to keep yourself healthy and happy, even if what you’d rather do is wallow.

🌕 Full Moon in Cancer – December 2023

/ Twist the Leaf / Leave a comment

Later today is the full moon, and like all new moons and full moons, I did a spread aligned to the moon’s current themes as a part of my recognition of the moon’s cycle and influences upon us. Today’s full moon spread is provided by Seeds of Shakti.

Cancer Full Moon Tarot Reading with the XMas Elf Tarot

What medicine does the Cancer Full Moon offer?

The Empress – The Cancer Full Moon is offering you an opportunity for self-care and to guide things in a healthy direction that can foster positive growth.

How can I drop into my heart space to hear my true-SELF?

King of Wands – Stay anchored in those things that inspire you. You can lead yourself and others forward into the future through inspiration just as easily as through obligation.

How can I heal wounds that are being illuminated for me, in particular ones connected to my kindred circle?

Two of Pentacles – Return to balance. Throughout the holiday season you have been overtaxed and laser focused on your business and cranking out orders. To heal from this time of neglect to both yourself and your kindred circle, you need to now focus on returning your life and your focus back into balance.

How can I hold space for self-love to thrive, so that I feel nurtured?

Three of Cups – Instead of focusing on responsibility and obligation, use this after-rush time to cut loose and have some fun with others.

In what aspect of my life do I need to be kinder to myself?

The Emperor – It’s not easy being the one that everyone looks to and depends on. It’s not easy being the one making hard choices for the benefit of others. It’s okay to need to take a break and let others deal with things themselves for a bit.

Full Moon advice from the Minoan Goddess Amalthea.

Ten of Pentacles – Savor this time that is stable and financially secure enough to allow you to spend time with others and they with you.

Tarotholics Challenge Oracle Reading with the Yule Oracle

Where do you need to practice more tolerance with others?

Holiday Cookies – Turn your focus towards working on preserving those relationships closest to you. You’ve been so worn out, stressed, and dealing with a lot of pain. It makes you a bit snippy with others, and they feel those little snips and snipes… sometimes deeply.  Be aware of this, and work on treating them with more kindness and understanding.

How can you foster more tolerance within your heart?

Ornament – Keep your focus on how you want things to be or become, instead of how they are. What healthy and happy future do you want to develop going forward? By keeping your focus here, it allows you to work towards that goal instead of getting caught up in the discomfort or misery of the moment and reacting badly to it.

Where do you need to step up with your self-care over the holidays?

Sparklers – Take care with how much you put on your plate, even when feeling inspired. The more you pile on during this time at the end of your holiday rush, the more weight you will have to bear later on. Give yourself a break and write down your inspirations instead of acting on them immediately.

What do you need to focus on to keep your holiday cheer intact?

Cinnamon – Focus on the abundance of love and support that you have around you. Warm feelings and warm hearts will allow you to see the positive and give you that boost of holiday cheer you’re finally getting a bit of time to savor.

How can you best respond to those that try to “stir the pot” this holiday?

Tinsel – Instead of reacting outright to this “stir the pot” behavior that they’re exhibiting, use your ability to suss out and understand different perspectives to examine why they behave as they do.

How can you express your emotions with more love and kindness?

Poinsettia – View the holidays and this down time with others as a way to explore all the ways in which you are fortunate and all the things you have to be grateful for.

#DiscordTarotholicsDec2023 Challenge
Questions for December 21st thru 23rd

Tarotholics Challenge Oracle Reading with The Christmas Oracle

What is it that you’re burying that needs to be set free?

Snowflakes – It’s time to dig up and set free yourself and those unique qualities within you that make you special. You’ve closed down in a lot of areas throughout the holiday rush, including this one, and now that the rush is drawing to a close, it’s time to begin reacquainting yourself with what makes you unique and sharing those qualities with others again.

How can you invite more creative spark into your life?

Family Dinner – Invite others in instead of holding them at a distance. You try so hard to keep people from seeing when you are struggling and the true extent of your efforts, when if you would instead allowed them to see, they would happily help.

What do you need to be more grateful for?

Coal – The lessons learned through the mistakes you’ve made need to be reflected on and appreciated. It’s through giving them attention and being grateful for what you’ve learned along the way that you are able to avoid repeating the same mistakes all over again.
