Collective Reading:

I have used this spread to do a collective reading for anyone who finds themselves reading this post.  Today on 01/11/2025 I have drawn the following cards:

1) STRENGTH - the card indicating "Tenderness" and how you can be more gentle with yourself this year is The Strength card.  Remember that you are doing the best you can in extraordinary circumstances.  Reserve your energy for the battles that truly matter the most for you, and remember you can't win them all.  Be gentle with yourself while honoring your own strength  - remember that rest and self care do not make you weak, they make you more resilient.

2) SEVEN OF SWORDS - this is the card for Healing - where and how can you focus your healing this year.  The Seven of Swords indicates knowing when to retreat.  There are times we must cut our losses and remove ourselves from a situation for our own survival.  Additionally, this card speaks of subterfuge and secrecy - sometimes you might have a better time with healing if you are keeping your business to yourself instead of publicizing it on social media.  Know when to keep your cards close to your chest and don't reveal yourself too soon or to the wrong people.

3) THE EMPRESS - The third card in this spread relates to how you need to revolutionize your life; in what way do you need to do things differently.  The Empress is confident in her own value - she knows the value that she brings to the kingdom and she knows her own worth.  This year you can be radically different by embracing a prosperity mindset - knowing that you deserve all the good things that come to you and more!  The Empress also indicates someone who is tuned into thier body and their senses - listen to your body's needs and desires and follow your instincts!

4) ACE OF CUPS - the fourth card relates to Inspiration - what is your source of Inspiration this year?  The Ace of Cups indicates  that inspiration can flow abundantly when you are tuned in to your own spiritual gifts.  Spirituality, Intuition, Emotion, and Creative Flow are all linked.  When you feel like you are running low on energy and inspiration, fill your own cup by paying attention to your own feelings, expressing your true emotions, and embracing spiritual practices that help you release any blocked or stagnant emotions.

5) THREE OF CUPS - the fifth card is "Vitalize" - this is what will help vitalize you and keep you energized and motivated.  The Three of Cups indicates celebrations with friends.  Celebrate the small victories with those who uplift you and support you.  Celebrate the joys and successes of others.  No matter how stressful life is, find the reasons to celebrate and the people who you can celebrate with.  These moments of joy will sustain you and keep you going!

6) The Queen of Swords - the Sixth card in this spread is for your Empowerment - it is the reminder of your strengths and the power that you bring.  The Queen of Swords is fair and just, with a discerning mind.  You have these powers as well - use your discernment and your logic to see the truth in any situation, and follow through with the action that brings the most fair and just outcome for all involved.  Trust in your intelligence and ask questions when you don't know the answers, and most of all remember that your Voice and your Mind are the most powerful tools that you have!
