Tarot spread for November
Soul Cards by Kristine Fredheim

Sixes indicate harmony and balance, and this month is bookended by sixes that indicate the overall energies and our guidance for the month. Like a harmonious gateway, these influences make November a container of time in which experiences and energies are flowing to us that can bring us to greater levels of harmony, both in our external, physical world (the Six of Pentacles) and within (the Six of Cups), which is where harmony begins.

November also contains two aces, the Ace of Cups and the Ace of Wands, pointing to the heart and emotional realm, and to manifestations, the will, and action. Together, they indicate that, through our emotions and the experiencing of joy and the higher emotions, such as appreciation and fun, we can allow our heart’s desires to strengthen, grow, and come into being. Something new is available to us this month, and connections and opportunities are waiting in the wings. Taking our attention off the things that have been slow to come and focusing instead on where we easily find happiness can speed everything up. 

Q1: Overall energies of November: Six of Pentacles

Pentacles are related to the material, physical realm, and this happy card indicates abundance with plenty to share. New opportunities may be on the horizon, and they could look like new clientele flowing in, new ideas, new business and career opportunities, and new partnerships and collaborations. These energies are there and available for us to harness and do with what we will. 

The universe may be calling you to make the most of the wondrous things that are coming your way, and to consider what exciting things you would do if you had plenty of resources—that is, without getting into a headspace of lack or observing what you don’t have. The idea is to keep the focus positive and be in the energy and the feeling place of having, doing, being, living your best and most ideal experience. This magnetizes it to you like nothing else.

Q2: Week 1: Ace of Cups

Cups are linked to the emotional realm and the Ace of Cups indicates new love, joy, and emotional restoration coming through this week. New beginnings are in the offing. Energetically, something new may be transpiring in the realm of the heart, and it may have to do with feeling new love or opening or healing emotionally. 

New, heart-centered connections may be coming into being now or may be in a place of developing energetically. Not trying to rush things and making peace with where you are, trusting that it will come about in the highest and best way possible, can provide the nurturing energies that are key to the healthy growth of the new that’s developing.

Q3: Week 2: Ten of Wands reversed

The upright Ten of Wands is a card indicating heavy burdens; reversed, as it is for this week, it indicates releasing those burdens. It’s time to let go. We may be carrying around energetic and emotional burdens that don’t benefit us. We may not even realize we have been carrying them. This week, our guidance may be to release anything that doesn’t bring us joy or make us feel aligned, and to cut the ties with whatever doesn’t benefit us in some way. This work is individual, and by necessity, the focus must be on the self. 

Considering what relationships, habits, routines, and energies aren’t serving us, we can begin to see what we need to release. Also looking at the mental realm and any self-talk or thoughts that play on repeat that don’t serve us, we may be called this week to revise our internal narrative. It can be helpful to replace each negative thought as we discover it with a more positive one and to monitor our thoughts to catch ourselves in negative patterns of thinking. This card can also indicate that something is on its way out, ready to exit our experience naturally, and we could see this play out in various ways. It’s time to make room for growth.

Q4: Week 3: Ace of Wands

The second ace to come in this month, the Ace of Wands may indicate something new coming about as a result of our intention and will. Taking inspired action from a place of alignment with our truth and higher self, or our inner being, is our ally, this week and beyond. Flowing with the path of least resistance can lead us right to the answers, things, ideas, and experiences we’ve been asking for. 

Believing in our desires is like watering a seed. Expecting them to come is like adding fertilizer to the soil. Ideas can be powerful manifestations. Running with ideas that feel good, inspiring, and exhilarating can lead to great things. We can benefit from choosing only positive expectations for ourselves, and doing so deliberately.

Q5: Week 4: Three of Wands

With the Three of Wands, one plus one equals three. Two forces coming together co-create and through their synergy, create something new. This could indicate a partnership or collaboration that leads to new ideas and manifestations. We may also be considering how best to navigate new relationships, opportunities, ideas, and physical manifestations that have come into our experience. 

Growth and the ways in which you express yourself, such as through music, art, dance, writing, or some other activity, are highlighted now. The message may be that we find alignment through what brings us joy, and we are encouraged to do those things more often, without getting hung up on the outcomes of our endeavors. When we allow pure creativity and inspiration to flow through us unfettered, the outcome is always wonderful.

Q6: Overall guidance for November: Six of Cups

Cups are linked to the emotional realm, and the Six of Cups indicates finding harmony through emotional renewal and restoration. Coming to a place of balance and peace may look different for everyone, as we are all individuals having our own experiences, distinct from one another with needs that are particular to us and us alone. 

This week may show us where we are out of balance or disharmonious with our own energy and intentions. Whatever finding harmony looks like for you, this month is a time to rejuvenate, rest, and restore your energy. This ensures your needs are met and that you are strengthened and brought into your best possible experience. From a place of strength, we can launch into what comes next. 

July: The Month According to Tarot

Soul Cards Tarot by Kristine Fredheim
Image by Victoria Constantino

The presence of so many major arcana cards in this month’s reading signifies major change and developments on the horizon. Something is transforming beneath the surface, or more accurately, in the energetic, and is preparing to make its way into the physical. Week four of July looks especially promising for manifestations, with the Eight of Wands signifying powerful momentum and rapid forward movement. With Strength coming in as the card signifying this month’s energies, we’re reminded that we have what it takes to move through this period successfully. We can call on our inner strength to prepare ourselves mentally and emotionally for the change that lies ahead.

Q1: Overall energies of July: Strength

If nothing is certain but change, this beautiful card gives us reassurance that we’ve got what it takes  to not only get through it, but to ride the wave and come out on top. Change can be positive, neutral, or negative, depending on how we view it, but even when things may not look as we had hoped or expected, we have the ability to choose how we are calibrated through it all. The Strength card reminds us that we’re powerful and our greatest strength is within. It can also appear when we reach certain milestones that we could not have otherwise achieved were it not for our strength, persistence, and tenacity. 

Q2: Week 1: The High Priestess

This enigmatic card guides us to the feminine power within. The High Priestess may ask us to consider what is hidden within, what is preparing to come forth, and what remains unseen, the catalyst behind our motivations. Our inner life may be in focus this week, and that can include the way we approach things, as well as our creativity, imagination, and spirituality. Our intuition may be heightened now and we could benefit from considering where it is guiding us before heading off in new directions or making significant choices. Our emotions may be trying to tell us something.

Q3: Week 2: The Moon

Coinciding beautifully with this week’s full moon, The Moon card may ask us to pay attention to how the full moon’s energies are affecting us. The sister card of The High Priestess, The Moon is also closely aligned with the hidden, the subconscious, and what some may think of as the shadow side. This week, our intuition may be guiding us toward something; our inner being or higher self may have a message for us in the form of wisdom, guidance, or images that flicker across the mind’s screen in quiet moments. The Moon may cast its light on secrets and mysteries. This week could find us separating truth from illusion as we attempt to figure out what is real and get to the core truth of the matters at hand.

Q4: Week 3: Temperance

Temperance is a card of balance, cooperation, harmony, and patience. This week, we may benefit from considering where we could use more balance in our lives. Something may be reaching a point of resolution and we could find ourselves easily untangling knots that previously, were not so easily unraveled. Patience serves us well now and we may find it more easier than ever to breathe deeply into a space of quiet peace and strength and call on our wellspring of patient reserves. In peace, the path will reveal itself. In harmony, we find resolution. We may discover great healing available in the quiet knowing that all is well and in discovering the well-being that is at the center of who we are. 

Q5: Week 4: Eight of Wands

The pace picks up now as fast-moving energy makes itself known. Energy is gaining momentum, gathering behind the scenes and building on what is growing, aiding the development of new manifestations. Energies are continuing to gather throughout the week as they prepare to make themselves known in some form or another. Expect new opportunities, change, and rapid developments. When faced with choice points, our inner guidance steers us toward what feels good, which is where we find resonance with our truth. 

Q6: Guidance for July: Seven of Cups

This card says dream big—there are no limits to what you can be, do, or achieve. The message this week is that what you focus on grows. The Seven of Cups may guide us to be mindful of what we give our energy and attention to and arrives as a reminder that we create our own reality. Backing up our desires with beliefs that we can have what we want, and supporting those wishes with the expectation that they are manifesting and will be ours, can be the powerful catalysts that help give powerful momentum to the change we seek to create. The universe is powerfully supporting us in manifesting our desires.

2022: A Look at the Year Ahead

Soul Cards by Kristine Fredheim
Image by Victoria Constantino

The numbers in the year 2022 add up to six, which is a number of home, harmony, family, and domesticity. This year, changes, adjustments, and developments will be for the attainment of greater harmony and balance in these areas. We can facilitate the ease of change by going with the flow and following the path of least resistance. This is also a heart-opening year, in which we have the opportunity to open our hearts and discover the great source of our light within. Our attunement to the heart is the further discovery of our truth and of the infinite intelligence from which we spring and of which we are a part.

Discovering oneness and strengthening unity consciousness is another theme of 2022. We may be seeing ourselves in others, now more so than ever. Projecting our light illuminates the way for those who may have lost their own. As we each awaken, we are like points of light shining in the fabric of oneness, wherever we are on the planet. As we each awaken to our truth and as we heal, we send ripples throughout the collective, and our light, healing, and awakening is felt by others. In this way, we lift each other up and we light the way for others to find their own path. As more and more of us discover our light, the whole of humanity is lifted up and ascends further up the scale of consciousness. 

January: Ace of Swords

The Ace of Swords is all about clarity and indicates that new ideas are on the horizon. At the beginning of the year, we benefit from setting intentions for the months ahead, establishing clear goals, considering what we want to accomplish, and what we hope to get out of 2022 overall. Where do we want to be by the end of the year? Beginning this new cycle by setting clear intentions establishes the tone for what we manifest through the next twelve months. 

It can also be helpful to keep in mind that, as eternal beings, we are always modifying, learning, growing, and shaping our experience, and this includes making changes to our goals that align to who we are becoming as we grow and change. It’s okay to set goals at the start of the year that then change as we do, as our inner being or higher self is always supporting us in getting to where we want to go. Setting intentions at the beginning of the year establishes a way forward that we can finesse and change as we go.

February: Ten of Cups

Tens are numbers of completion and cups are related to the heart, making the Ten of Cups a card of rich rewards, abundance, and emotional fulfillment. Deep, sustainable, long-lasting happiness is on the horizon now and sets us up for a more secure and stable future—one that is heart-led. This emotional abundance is nourishing to all aspects of ourselves, including the heart, mind, body, and soul. When our hearts are nourished, all good and wonderful things flow from there. 

Regardless of outer circumstances, we can always tap into the wellspring of infinite abundance that flows from the heart. This is done through softening resistance and attuning to our inner being, whether through meditation or other forms of relaxation. We can also reach this state through accessing high-flying emotions like joy and appreciation. Sarah Wiseman writes, “The heart is the seat of the soul,” and when we tune into the heart, we are tuning into our inner being. We may physically feel something clear and pure flowing from the heart center when we reach this state. Accessing this state of alignment brings forth manifestations, great joy, new ideas, and clarity.

March: Three of Swords

Where there is resistance, pain, or blockages, that is where our work is. Those knives struck through the heart on this card need to come out, first and foremost. It’s time to get rid of the pain and release the past so we can begin to heal. Because like attracts like, if we don’t release those energies, we may unwittingly attract more of the same. It’s time to let go and move on, and do what we need to heal. It is through the wound that the light enters. Once we have sent the energies that do not serve us into the light for clearing and transmutation, we can invite the light of our source within to fill us. This begins a powerful healing and realignment process. 

Another approach to the healing process is to simply align with our inner being or higher self. The more we do this, the more we are filled with our own light, and that is where healing takes place. Some may feel more resonance with this method, while other may prefer to take the path mentioned above. Whatever feels right to you is a good way forward. We always benefit from being in our own light and aligning with the source within. 

When we heal, and when we are more filled with our own light, we are more readily able to attune to the whole of who we are, take aligned action, and receive what is ready for us. This sets us on a path in which we are moving steadily toward our goals and walking into our highest possible outcomes. On this path, we strengthen in the knowing of our worthiness, our confidence, and our alignment with our true, innate freedom and power. And from this place, we can move through life as the powerful creators we are here to be.

April: Page of Pentacles

The Page of Pentacles shows us learning something new in the physical realm. This may be a new job or career, financial path, business, or source of income that we are navigating. This is a time of learning, in which we benefit from studying relevant resources, seeking answers to our questions, and doing what is needed to gain a firmer understanding of the new that is in our lives. Practice makes perfect, and, though our first steps may be uncertain or exploratory, with time and practical application, we will start to gain more solid footing.

We are paving the way for our future now, building a stronger basis of understanding so that we are prepared to be our best and move up the ladder when the time comes. We must first do the groundwork before pouring the foundation, and the foundation itself should be strong in order to support whatever we build on top of it. Doing the groundwork is akin to energetic preparation, as everything in existence first began as energy germinated by thoughts and ideas. Creating solid foundations is akin to the preparations we make through learning or study so we can prepare ourselves for a better future. 

May: Eight of Cups

The Eight of Cups is a turning away, and it often arrives when we are striking off in new directions. We may be setting the intentions now to go somewhere new or take another path. This card can arrive at various stages of manifestation, which may include walking away from something in order to make room for a new set of circumstances. It can also let us know that our intentions to take a new path are gathering momentum and are beginning to manifest or will soon manifest in our physical reality. We are making inner and outer preparations now. 

What is interesting about this card is that cups are associated with the heart and the emotional realm. It often arrives when the heart is ready for something new, and we are making energetic preparations, perhaps even unconsciously, and preparing our hearts for the change that is soon to come. Our inner being always knows where we want to be and where we are in relation to the state desired, and helps guide us every step of the way. It may be especially important now to tune in to our inner guidance so we can receive aligned action steps; then, when it is time to walk away, we will do so in divine right timing, which is the timing that is most aligned for us.

June: The Tower

Last month saw us making significant progress on our intentions to head in new directions, and this month, the impending change has gained sufficient momentum to make way for the new. The old tower crumbles so a new one can be built. What isn’t serving our highest good, and anything that stands in the way of the fulfillment of our goals, is leaving our lives now. This is a clearing of energies on a fundamental, foundational level and it may be karmic or tied to our mission for this lifetime. It could also be connected to what we are manifesting, either intentionally or not.

On the outside, what is crumbling may cause shock, upset, or pain, but it doesn’t have to. Its loss can be a welcome relief or we can choose to see it as something necessary and timely. It depends on how we look at it, and perspective is important. If a structure that has been beloved for generations falls, it is because it was not structurally sound and may have caused harm to those who would have chosen to use it. With the old energy gone, we have a beautiful chance to build something new; the slate is wiped clean and we get to decide exactly what we want to create.

July: Three of Wands

Following on the heels of The Tower, the Three of Wands indicates new manifestations. What left us last month made room for the new energies coming in now. Through our focus and determination—and ideally, also through aligned action, which comes from our inner being or higher self—we are lining up with manifestations borne from our intentions. The goals we set previously are coming to fruition. We may surprise ourselves with how effortlessly we are able to attain our goals. Reaching smaller goals greases the wheels for larger manifestations, as these smaller achievements remind us of how powerful we are as creators of our own realities.

We may also be seeing signs of larger goals arriving through similar manifestations or synchronicities. Because like attracts like and what we focus on grows, we may be seeing manifestations we would consider smaller versions of larger goals coming in. This lets us know a few things—namely, that what we are doing is working and we should continue, and it could also clue us in to resistance we may have to the entirety coming in. While we may look at manifestations as smaller and larger, according to Abraham-Hicks, it is as easy to manifest a castle as a button. Energetically, we can just as easily receive one as we can the other, and the biggest distinction is in what we are allowing. If we believe we will receive it, then we will. We can use the evidence of what is coming to us to make any adjustments to our beliefs and vibration as necessary.

August: Seven of Pentacles

Through diligence, focus, and determination, we will succeed. This card shows us focused on our goals and working to achieve them. Last month brought us manifestations, and now we are working, hands in the clay, to mould and shape what has arrived. Working with the clay, we persist until it looks as we wish, and then we take the next aligned action steps. This month, we benefit from allowing our intuition to guide us and from going within. Taking breaks allows us perspective. When we are up close to our creations for a while, it can benefit us to step back for brief periods of time every so often so we can see the bigger picture, or view our creations in another light. 

This allows us to course correct if needed and determine our next best steps. Flowing with the ideas that feel good in the moment as we do this work can help us to elevate our creations. This is a good time to set intentions around making our creations the best they can be. Sometimes this may mean learning new methods and techniques, or considering different approaches. Thinking outside of the box can help us in unexpected ways. What we are creating now has the potential to serve us well for the future and can lead us to wonderful new interactions, goals, and creations. Take others’ advice with a grain of salt, if at all, and trust your intuition above all else.

September: Ten of Wands reversed

Lay down your burdens, says the Ten of Wands reversed. Whether you need to take time for yourself, reassess your schedule or obligations, do some inner work, take a step back from things for a while, or make significant changes in your life, this card says it’s time to let go and take a close look at the burdens you carry. Some of them may not be yours to carry, some you have carried for so long you forgot you were still carrying them, and some simply need your attention. This month, we can pay special attention to what comes into the spotlight, because it may be surfacing to be cleared. The strong message now is to put yourself first and remember you are not greedy for doing so—we are all in charge of our own experience and are each responsible for what we attract. We live in an attraction-based universe and everything that arrives into our experience, we are attracting.

The first step to releasing burdens can be simply realizing we are carrying them. It doesn’t have to be hard, and just because things have been a certain way for a while doesn’t mean they always have to be that way. Sometimes we have to put ourselves first and sometimes that means changing our perspective, mindset, approach, or methodologies. Sometimes it means healing or setting clearer boundaries. It will be different for us all depending on our life path and experience, and depending on where we are in the moment. It’s time to take a close look at what isn’t working and what needs to be done to shift it. Often, through our attention upon it, it will begin to shift naturally, as long as we are not putting up resistance to change. We owe it to ourselves to allow the positive change to flow to us that is meant for us.

October: Queen of Pentacles

The Queen of Pentacles represents abundance, prosperity, and happiness. She is a woman in her power who is successful in all she endeavors to do. Experience is a great teacher, and this queen has learned much. She is now in a secure position and enjoys all life has to offer. She encourages us to look around and find things to be grateful for, as this practice, when done sincerely, attracts more for us to be grateful for. What we focus on grows, and this figure is a teacher by example. The position she has achieved she has reached through her belief in herself and not only her ability to attract abundance, but also her knowing that she is worthy and deserving of it, as we all are. 

The queen’s message is that we are all here to create the reality we wish and that each one of us deserves to live in happiness, freedom, and prosperity. The strong message is also one regarding our own personal sovereignty. When we remember who we are, we remember how powerful we are and the true freedom in which we can live. When we align with our higher self or inner being, we are aligned with the Source energy part of us that is eternal, magnificent, and a powerful force of creation. We each have the ability to live in our power and in the freedom that is an aspect of our highest truth.

November: Six of Cups

The Six of Cups can be a card of nostalgia and one of remembering the path we traveled before. Acknowledging memories that come to the surface and exploring the messages they may have for us can be a powerful source of support and perspective. Where did we begin and where are we now? What are we still holding onto that it is time to let go of? What dreams and goals have we set aside that it would benefit us to reassess and embrace anew? Sometimes the Six of Cups is a card of looking back, acknowledging, and healing, and sometimes it carries a message of remembrance. Remember those dreams you set aside? Did you give up on them and if so, why? Remember you can achieve all you set your mind to accomplish and you are worthy, capable, and deserving of reaching your mostly deeply held desires.

People from our past may reappear now and we can feel into the significance of their presence at this time to determine what our intuition is telling us about their re-emergence into our experience. Are they here so we (or they) can gain closure? How does their presence make us feel? If we feel triggered, this can be information from within showing us where we need to heal. Attuning to our intuition is beneficial, as it is an important source of guidance for us and can help us parse out deeper meanings and better understand ourselves and others. Flowing gently with the path of least resistance and in accordance with our own highest good is indicated now. A message, one that can help us, may be ready to come through. This is a time of assessment and recalibration, a time in which we can can determine a new path forward. 

December: The High Priestess

As the year winds to a close, The High Priestess guides us inward to tap into our power and align with our source of truth. We may be ready to attune to higher levels of spiritual wisdom and strengthen our spiritual gifts. Going within this month aligns us with the season, whether it is the rest and recharging of winter in the Northern Hemisphere or the outward joy of summer in the Southern Hemisphere. Changes are germinating deep within and they are to our benefit. Attuning to the inner world is a strong theme this month. 

“Know thyself” is the clear and resounding message. We are always learning more about ourselves and it is part of our core nature to do so. We are each part of the collective, a point in the fabric of the whole that is One, All, Source. The experiences of each one are a way for the One to know itself. There are deep mysteries within that link us all and individuation is only a construct. When all the world’s a stage, our recognizing it as such brings us to heightened levels of awareness. We can rise above for brief moments in time and yet stay grounded in the experience that causes our expansion.  There is much for us to learn, discover, and know.

Overall guidance for the year: The Moon

This year, we are encouraged to pierce the veil of illusion, and to go within to find the secrets of the universe, which flow forth from the heart. Tapping into infinite intelligence is as easy as aligning with the source within. This year, we may ask: What is truth, and what is illusion? Knowing that our deepest truth lies within, we can go there to find all the answers we seek. 

The moon itself reflects the light of the sun, and its phases reveal varying degrees of light and shadow. It is a reminder that the world is a mirror reflecting back to us what we are projecting. Viewed in another way, the law of attraction assembles the components that are a match to our vibration, and what shows up in our lived experience is a reflection of where we are vibrationally.

This is a year of taking stock, of considering what is showing up for us so we can make any necessary adjustments to our vibration. This sets us on a track to strengthen our awareness of our vibrational offering so we can create a platform from which we align with our intentions, and from there, we can more directly create what we desire simply by setting the intention and then lining up with it. This takes practice and continual adjustment, as it is a process of ongoing, intentional calibration and recalibration to our intentions. As the results show up in our experience, we will realize how very worthwhile this work is and our outward lives will gradually reflect our inner desires.

As the second day of the second month, partnerships, collaborations, and cooperation are in focus. Our dealings with others today and throughout the week may have a great impact, and it could be of critical importance how we choose to respond in any given situation. We are guided to facilitate harmony at all times, and to always look toward positive solutions and amicable resolutions. Something of great magnitude may be fostered through positive communication; pivotal collaborations could be born this week that mark a significant point of change, a fulcrum upon which something pivots, a path-opener. 

All of the numbers in today’s date add up to nine, which can be a number of expansion as much as it is about strength, integrity, and endings. We may be already aware of what is not serving us or may simply have a knowing that there is something better awaiting us. Setting intentions now for desired improvements plants a seed that has the potential to sprout at a later time. We are creating our reality in every moment through our desires, thoughts, and beliefs, and we have the power to shift our reality at any time. Anything that we have given sufficient attention to that has built up the requisite momentum can be borne into our lives. Focusing on growth today is beneficial, as is considering the areas of our lives we want to strengthen. The right people, opportunities, and circumstances have a way of showing up in divine right timing.

Mantra: I facilitate harmony and cooperation in my dealings with others. I invite unconditional love into all of my communications for the highest possible outcome.

As the twenty-eighth day of the first month, today may see us strengthening in our partnerships and building momentum toward our goals. We benefit from continuing to send positive energy to our manifestations. Today brings an aspect of culmination as energetically, certain things are beginning to wrap up and we may see the end of cycles, indicated by the ten in today’s date (2+8) and the subsequent beginning of new cycles of learning, growth, and experiences. To better gain a sense of closure before embarking on something new, we are guided to gather our thoughts to process and integrate what wisdom we can gain from the events and aspects that are ending now. This interim period is important as a time of processing, and possibly healing and integration, between phases or major life cycles. Long-held dreams and goals are gathering momentum and have the potential to manifest now. All we have to do is believe in them and let them in. 

Adding up all of the numbers in today’s date brings us sixteen and seven. Today especially, seven carries energies of good fortune and aspects of the intellect. We are encouraged to continue learning, growing, and expanding in our spiritual gifts as well as in our knowledge about them. Reading on any topics of interest is also indicated. Feeding our knowledge expands our horizons as it builds our understanding and opens up greater worlds of possibility. Flowing with changes and maintaining harmony in all that we do, including our relations with others, could be a key aspect today. We are reminded that we alone are in control of our choices, words, and actions. We get to choose how we respond to others. Regardless of someone’s behavior or words, we can always choose the higher ground. Today may find us needing to stay aligned, stay on our path, stay in our own energy, and not let ourselves get drawn into chaos or drama. Others may be acting from unhealed wounds and may be unconscious or unwitting players in the testing of our own resolve. We are asked to draw on our well of inner strength, which we have at our core as divine beings of light. We are reminded that all actions are rewarded accordingly.

Mantra: I have the power within me to stand strong in my truth and in my light. My greatest strength comes from love and compassion.

As the twenty-sixth day of the first month, today carries energies and aspects of partnerships, co-creation, harmony, and abundance. Through our harmonious relations with others, we create stability, which in turn provides us with a solid platform from which to build, reach higher, grow, and set our sights on loftier goals. We are strongly encouraged now to dream bigger, aim higher, and look to elevate ourselves more than ever before. What is the best version of yourself you have envisioned? Now go beyond that, above that, and see your best you, and then reach even higher for your even better you. We are always growing, always changing, always learning and we can always thrive, more and more continually. We are asked to release the mindset that if something is good, the other shoe will eventually drop. It doesn’t have to be that way. As creators of our own realities, we can create the life we want. If we set the intention that things will always get better for us, and nurture that with a repeated daily mantra, we can reinforce this as a habit which then becomes a belief. Mantras can be repeated in the mind throughout the day and can help us to establish new, positive thought patterns and beliefs. We can rewrite our thinking in this way, through consistency and focus. 

Adding up all of the numbers in today’s date brings us fourteen and five. These numbers indicate the strengthening of foundations in our lives and the manifestation of new opportunities and creations stemming from this more stable platform, which may be energetic or could have to do with our relationships (with ourselves, others, the divine), our perspective, our beliefs, our vibration, our goals, our spiritual gifts, and just about anything else in our awareness. Change is indicated that is either positive on its face or that brings about a release of what was not serving us in order to make room for what is better, stronger, and more aligned. We may be experiencing expansion, either in our manifested reality or spiritually and energetically, and we may be aware of this or not to varying degrees. There is an indication today of subtlety and we are guided to tune into our intuition without preconceived ideas, but simply tuning in and allowing what is available to us to flow into our perception and awareness. The subtleties may be developments behind the scenes and it could benefit us to notice and become aware of them as they are taking shape and solidifying so we can make adjustments and set new intentions where necessary. Tools like tarot and oracle cards can be helpful now in guiding us to new understandings and helping us to better understand what may be hidden or just out of view, as well as anything it would benefit us to prepare for. We are asked to release fear, as it is just an illusion and we attract whatever we focus on.

Mantra: My life is always improving in every way. Everything is always getting better for me. Everything is always working in my favor. I am blessed, I am protected, I am divinely guided.

As the twenty-fifth day of the first month, today may bring changes in partnerships and alliances. We may experience shifts regarding teamwork and in who we choose to work with, even as we are flowing into new experiences and opportunities and taking new paths. We may reach an unexpected fork in the road, before which we can pause to consider the best way to take. We are reminded that it is most often our first inclination or instinct that is correct, right, true, and best for us. We are being asked not to doubt or second-guess ourselves, and to avoid overanalyzing, as this can lead to ‘analysis paralysis’ and can muddy the waters of our clarity. We are guided to seek clarity and integrity in all that we think, do, and say. Continually seeking clarity will bring lightning flashes of insight and inspiration, and will facilitate a deep inner knowing and connection to the wisdom of the ages. 

Adding up all of the numbers in today’s date brings us thirteen and four. We can expect new developments and manifestations to enter our experience now. Today’s shifts and changes are tomorrow’s stronger foundations. We are building anew from a place of greater harmony and stability that allows us to build higher than ever before. We are facilitating our own growth and strength through the new creations that we built on integrity as we give them a stable, secure base. We may become aware of seemingly small or minor actions we can take to facilitate strength, harmony, and improvements in our lives; know that the smallest action taken from a pure place of truth and integrity can have much further-reaching consequences than we could imagine. Establishing intentions for our own strength, harmony, and stability goes far now. As we are positioned at the beginning of a full-moon week, we are currently in a growing phase. This week powerfully supports our healing through clearing and release of what does not serve us to make room for new developments and manifestations. Full moons are powerful times of healing. We are guided to be our own best allies by continuing on our healing path and cutting through any weeds that may appear along the way, with the ferocity, strength, and integrity of a lion, yet staying grounded in our truth and in our light. We are guided to stay on our path, to stay true to ourselves, and to not let anything or anyone lead us astray or knock us off our path.

Mantra: It is easy for me to make the decisions that are right and true and best for me. I trust my instinct and connect easily to my intuition.

As the twenty-fourth day of the first month, today carries aspects of partnership, harmony, balance, unity, and stability. We may be coming together with those around us to unite ideas, insights, goals, and creations in ways that advance us. Through genuine connection and meaningful collaboration, we come together to create a synergy, a new energy that results from the unification of two ideas or aspects. We are guided to seek harmony and balance from wherever we are, and to consider how we can support those who support us, in our own unique ways. As we strengthen our connections with others, we create more meaningful, lasting bonds that allow us to carry each other. Friendships, familial connections, community, and business and creative partnerships are all indicated now. It is often true that we get out of something what we put into it.

Adding up all of the numbers in today’s date brings us twelve and three. This numeric combination indicates community and celebrations, and further underscores the aspects of manifestations and attainment of goals through connections and partnerships. We may have been feeling for a while that there is something beneath the surface waiting to come through—this could be an idea or a significant breakthrough. If we are feeling it, we are ready to receive it. We can facilitate its birth by setting the intention of receiving it, then getting into the receiving mode through joy, laughter, appreciation, fun, or reaching the flow state. This can be a good excuse to call that person who always makes you laugh, and to make new connections with those who have a positive outlook. Positivity is key, as is believing that we are worthy and deserving of receiving all we desire and worthy of living our best and highest possibilities. Connection with animals is also indicated for some people today. You may find deep meaning, inner joy, and healing through spending time with animals and in nature. Meditating in nature, weather permitting, can be highly valuable. Consider making plans now for future travel, even if it is only to put pen to paper to plan it and dream it. If you could go anywhere, where would that be? Allow yourself to dream big—unfettered and free of all limitations.

Mantra: I am worthy and deserving of all I desire. I welcome my biggest dreams with an open mind and an open heart.

As the fifteenth day of the first month, today carries a six energy that brings harmony, balance, and restoration, which can come through change. Things may be shaken up now but it is part of a continuing process of dismantling what wasn’t working to make room for what is better, stronger, and more stable. Soul growth through lived experience is highlighted now, and we may be hurtling toward expansion through a series of interconnected events. While all is connected, certain threads or strands may stand out at this time as being significant and even pivotal to our experience. We are guided to flow through the changes and release resistance in order to welcome the most optimal experiences to us. 

Adding up all of the numbers in today’s date brings us twelve, and three. Along with the changes we may be experiencing, and possibly in accordance with them, comes an end-of-cycle energy that sweeps out the old energies to close out the past. This may be a time of integration for some of you, and you can instill the knowledge gained from recent and past experiences through reflection. Thinking about how far you have come, how you have grown, and what you have learned can help to integrate and fully close out the cycles that are ending now. This allows us to move on to what is next. Between cycles, there is always a period of integration, a liminal or transitional state that prepares us for what is to come. Manifestations, new beginnings, and opportunities are all indicated today. You may receive news or messages that can bring change. Tune into your intuition before making decisions.

Mantra: I bless my communications with purified Source energy, unconditional love, peace, truth, integrity, clarity, kindness, and compassion. I speak my truth with clarity and compassion.

On this ninth day of the first month, we are in a waning moon phase, headed quickly toward the new moon. Waning moons are times of release and clearing, and these energies, coupled with the nine of today’s date, facilitates endings and closure. We are being asked to surrender, in faith and trust to the divine, all that has been holding us back, and to release all obstacles to the loving hands of the universe for healing and transmutation. Saturdays are ruled by Saturn and are optimal times for clearing and letting go of what does not serve our highest good. Together with the waning moon phase and today’s nine, this day is a powerful time of healing and growth. Today, setting the intention to release all that does not serve us sets forth a powerful catalyst of clearing and transmutation that rapidly gathers momentum to sow the seeds of our intentions in the fertile womb of the forthcoming new moon. As we clear and release from now until the new moon, we are making room for what is new and fertile and for our highest good to prepare to enter our lives.

Adding up all of the numbers in today’s date brings us fifteen, and six. Fifteen carries aspects of change that is helping us to grow and expand in opportunities and in our own abilities. We may also be facing certain choices that will impact us in ways beyond our present understanding and awareness. Taking guided action, according to our highest guidance and intuition, is indicated now. The number six is a strong aspect of today and brings energies of harmony, stability, and balance. Tuning in, we may feel guided toward actions and setting goals that improve the balance in our lives and strengthen our connections in harmonious ways. We are asked to consider how we can bring greater harmony to our relationships, not only with others, but also with ourselves, and how we can instill more balance in our daily routines and in our homes. Beauty is indicated now; beauty is an aspect of divine creation that can bring us joy, deep gratitude, and peace. Bringing more beauty into your space, surrounding yourself with beauty, being in nature, and enhancing the environments around you so that they are more relaxing and pleasing to you are ways of positively impacting the energy around you. This in turn has positive effects on your own state of mind and energy, as well as on your ability to create from a deeper, more relaxed space.

Mantra: I allow all that does not serve my highest good to clear, release, and transmute. I welcome healing and the highest light to take its place.
