A compass resting in your hand spins its needle using the Earth’s magnetic pull. It shows the direction you are facing, which gives a sense of where you are and where you are going. This compass feels magical in the way its needle moves with no effort, and yet is also grounding you to the Earth. Similar to a physical compass you might hold, there is also a compass within you. It is not something that can be seen or touched; rather, it can only be felt. The inner compass is often called your intuition. This navigational system is asking you to heed its messages. In order to listen, you must first be willing to be curious. It is difficult to access this tool when you are skeptical, unsure, critical, or in denial. Even if you have worked with your intuition for years, there are always new levels of listening to be achieved. When you are genuinely curious and open about what your inner guidance might tell you, that is when the door within is unlocked. Next, you must find silence. Listening to your intuition does not require sitting in meditation for hours on end. A knowing, feeling, or thought might come to you within seconds, or it might come later, in an unexpected moment. You might not hear it though, if you cannot quiet your mind. Meditation is a wonderful practice for many reasons, but it helps most with creating the ability to listen within. When you have trained your mind to slow down, it will be like muscle memory when you need to access it quickly. The final step is to trust. Whatever feelings, thoughts, or sense of knowing come to you first are often your inner compass speaking. It is supremely important to trust that knee-jerk reaction you had, because the ego wants you to second-guess yourself. Let go of the urge to question whether the message is real. Your inner compass does not speak in a booming voice because it asks you to trust. Picture your unique compass in your mind as you seek with curiosity, stillness, and trust. Reminder: You were born with an inner compass to guide you. It’s time to listen.
A bubble shimmers in the sky, filled with a magical, pearlescent glow. Bubbles are enchanting and mystical, suspended in your everyday life. When cleaning your body or home, you probably use soap, lathering it to create bubbles. They are found in the mundane duties that you must carry out as a human. They are so small, and their mystical qualities could easily be overlooked for the sake of completing a task. The Bubble card challenges you to slow down and infuse your day-to-day with magic. Are you overlooking the beauty that already exists around you? How can you slow down enough to be present and see? You create the magic that exists in your life. No one is going to point it out to you. You have the power to make even the most boring work more fulfilling when you shift your perspective. The truth is that being a human can feel mundane at times. There are seasons where the main focus is paying bills, cleaning house, organizing belongings, or caretaking of others. During these times, it’s easy to feel out of touch with the sparkle and mystery of life. When you can’t escape your to-do list, ask yourself how you can breathe the sacred into each moment. What makes you feel instantly more connected to the feeling of joy, freedom, and fun? It could be lighting a candle, turning on a Himalayan salt lamp, diffusing essential oils, placing fresh flowers or a plant on your desk, listening to music that soothes you, or taking your chores out into nature, if possible. Use whatever tools you have available to shift your perspective on the things you have to do. Remember that you have the ability to alchemize a bland situation into one that is other-worldly. Reminder: You have the power to infuse any experience with magic.
The top of the ocean tosses and undulates with large, crashing waves, while the water in the depths below is calm and still. There is a peaceful quiet in the heart of the ocean where only muffled sounds and tranquility exist. The Deep Ocean card calls you to find this silence within you. You might be focusing on the busy and chaotic aspects of life, similar to the top of the ocean, and resisting the inner peace that resides below the surface. It is often easier to stay busy than it is to face yourself without distractions. The message here is not about finding perfection through the removal of all thoughts and sitting in pure silence. It is about consciously choosing not to succumb to the “busy-ness” of life and ignore your inner world. A meditation practice may be helpful, and if you already have one, then the Deep Ocean card is asking you to expand or refresh it in some way. Traditional meditation, however, is not required. Find silence in whatever way feels best to you. Maybe you find it walking outside without earbuds, laying in bed for a few extra moments in the morning listening to sounds around you, or watching water flow down a river. Try this exercise to enter your own Deep Ocean, which calibrates you to your inner compass. Sit somewhere quiet and close your eyes. Imagine allowing yourself to swim beneath the surface of your thoughts. Take a deep inhale, and as you exhale, allow yourself to move downward and inward. Sink into the deepest depths of yourself. Imagine this as a quiet place, with the sun shining through the expanse of ocean above you. When your thoughts arise (because they will), simply notice them, and then move back into your visualization. Reminder: You are able to resist the busy-ness of life and sink into peace.
Standing in a beautiful field, you hold a cord that is connected to a Golden Kite. It shines in the sunlight as it dips and soars through the sky. The kite represents your higher self as well as other Divine spirits to whom you are infinitely connected. The Golden Kite card wants you to connect with your higher self and the spirit world for perhaps the first time, or to deepen your relationship with them. Long before you found yourself in this body, your soul made a conscious choice to incarnate on Earth. For this adventure, you were given “life lines” with unlimited access. Most people don’t realize this help exists because they live with the (sometimes unconscious) belief that they are not powerful or worthy enough to receive it. These beliefs can come from social, religious, or cultural conditioning. The first step to accessing your Golden Kite is to believe that you are worthy of doing so. You must know that you are entitled to guidance, assistance, and love from the other side. The next step is to release any expectations of how or when the assistance presents itself. Often, your higher self and other spirits will speak to you through your own thoughts, feelings, and instant gut reactions. They also send messages through song lyrics, tv shows, reading materials, etc. Spend time noticing how you receive communication and trusting that it is real. With time and faith, you will eventually see messages everywhere you look, or find that the guidance is deeper and more clear. When you feel lost, you can always return to the visual of holding your own Golden Kite. This imagery will become a signal to your higher self that you are in need of more connection. Use this visualization as often as you feel called. Reminder: Communication from other realms will increase by deepening your self-trust.
In the morning light, a tiny leaf hanging from a branch is brightly illuminated. Its color becomes saturated by the brilliance of the sun, making the leaf appear even more green than its counterparts resting in the shade. The Leaf card calls your attention to how you might be focusing on the specifics of a situation to excess. It may seem like so much is unknown, and trying to figure out the details provides you comfort. You might also feel ready for what’s ahead and impatience can cause a yearning for the details to come into focus. It is normal to wonder about the practical steps it will take to make something happen, but the time for that will come later. This card reminds you that what really matters aren’t the how or when details. It’s about tuning into the bigger picture of how you want to feel. Are you desiring satisfaction? Peace? Success? Whatever it is, zero in on that feeling first. Then, work backward to think about what you might need in order to achieve that inner experience. This is a time where the focus is not on practical matters, it’s about about you meeting you, and honoring the way you want to experience this lifetime. When you examine the bigger perspective of your soul’s desires, you’ll see that there are many paths to reach that feeling. By focusing too tightly on details, you are actually narrowing down the abundance of potential outcomes. When the urge to zoom in arises, turn your attention to the feeling your soul desires. Close your eyes and imagine that emotion flooding your entire body, allowing it to take over. Before long, what you’re dreaming of will materialize. For now, focus on all the beautiful leaves on the trees and how they make you feel, rather than only one. Reminder: Align with your soul’s desires and the details will fall into place.
At the moment of transition between morning and night, a beautiful “star” glimmers above the horizon. Often called the Morning Star, this celestial body isn’t actually a star at all, it is the planet Venus. Regardless of name, the Morning Star is a bridge between the spirit realm and the Earth plane. It shines brightly in the time between dark and light. This card offers the reminder that you are also a bridge between two worlds. You are simultaneously eternal stardust and a human experiencing a finite amount of time on this planet. You are here to honor the part of you that is Divine while also fully experiencing all that it means to be a human. This causes quite a bit of tug and pull between multiple aspects of who you are. Sometimes you might be enveloped into the human experience and caught up in the trappings of life on Earth. In other words, you might let your spiritual practices or faith dwindle because of pressure to focus on daily tasks, work, relationships, etc. Other times, you might want to only spend time following your spiritual pursuits and pulling away from worldly activities. You might prefer to hermit away from others and be with the Divine through meditation, time in nature, or other spiritual practices. Give yourself permission to be wherever you are at this moment. Lean into the human experience when you need to, and sink into your Divine essence when that feels relevant. Remember that you are all at once the entirety of the cosmos and the details on a blade of grass wrapped into one incredible being. No matter what you’re experiencing, you are not just enough, you are everything. Reminder: You are a magical bridge between heaven and Earth.
Neptune, nestled deep in our solar system, is a swirling blue planet that governs your subconscious mind and spiritual connection. It is the place where your deepest dreams, spiritual beliefs, and mystical experiences reside. These are the aspects of life that cannot be explained or fully understood. Neptune is asking that you develop or deepen an understanding of how you connect to the Divine in your own unique way. How do you receive information from your intuition? If you are already familiar with your Neptune placement, you are being called to revisit and strengthen your unique intuitive and psychic abilities. You connect to the Divine by... Neptune in Aries: having the courage to take action on the passion projects that excite you on a soul level. Neptune in Taurus: using your five senses to experience the abundance and beauty of life on Earth. Neptune in Gemini: knowing that your brilliant thoughts and ideas are direct downloads from the Divine. Neptune in Cancer: setting meaningful boundaries with others in order to nurture yourself. Neptune in Leo: expressing yourself in a way that is authentic and heart-centered. Neptune in Virgo: creating routines and systems that honor both the spiritual and human sides of yourself. Neptune in Libra: creating harmony and beauty in everything you do. Neptune in Scorpio: diving deep into the mysteries of life through your emotions. Neptune in Sagittarius: expanding your consciousness through new experiences and ideas. Neptune in Capricorn: doing what it takes to evolve as a soul and willingly facing challenges in order to get there. Neptune in Aquarius: seeking better, more meaningful opportunities and bringing people together around them. Neptune in Pisces: taking part in spiritual practices that help expand your imagination and intuition. Reminder: You have a way to connect with the Divine that is uniquely yours.
An Owl is silently perched on a tree branch in the dead of night. This majestic bird observes all that is seen and unseen with precise instincts. The Owl card grants you the sacred gift of feeling wisdom within your body. These birds have many adaptations, making them talented at surveying their surroundings and pinpointing prey. An Owl’s yellow eyes allow them to see at night, bringing the sun into the darkness. Their auditory capabilities combined with the ability to fly silently make them skilled hunters. Owls have such a high level of accuracy because they listen to both their body and intuition. When Owl energy visits, you are asked to notice how your body is alerting you to the wisdom within. Pay attention to the clues your physical vessel is giving you. What is the body trying to say? The physical form in which your soul lives is a finely tuned instrument. It is deeply connected to your inner compass, and often, the body will speak before the mind. If you’ve ever had physical symptoms in the presence of someone you didn’t trust, then you’ve already experienced this phenomenon. Your physicality was alerting you to the energy in your environment. The body is attempting to communicate with you now in an effort to deepen and expand your wisdom. Start by using your senses to observe the landscape around you, be it physical, mental, or emotional. Just as the owl does, rise above your circumstances and take inventory. Then, quietly listen to your body, noticing where you feel tension, tingling, softness, pain, etc. Stay curious and open to receiving. If you are more visual, close your eyes and imagine an owl whispering guidance to you. In time, you’ll learn to trust the body’s signals. Owl is here to model inner certainty in the vessel as you claim it for yourself. Reminder: The body is a finely tuned instrument, which is deeply connected to your inner compass.
Two fish circle one another in an endless loop among a sea of stars. Pisces is one of the oldest constellations recorded in history and is arguably the most psychic and spiritual of all the astrological signs. You do not need to have any connection to the Pisces zodiac sign to receive this message. This card asks you to acknowledge the part of you that feels deeply, knows intuitively, and is highly sensitive. Have you ever been able to sense how another person is feeling? It’s as if all of your own emotions become heightened, and you can understand what they are going through. To stand in witness of someone’s experience is what it means to tap into the interconnectedness of us all. The Pisces card comes now because you have had this type of experience. When this happens to you on a regular basis, it means you are an empath. Empaths are the blueprint for the future. As humanity evolves, the goal is to become more empathetic and sensitive to the experiences, emotions, and conditions of others. However, being an empath or having empathic experiences can be draining. You might feel depleted of energy after these types of exchanges. It is important to clear your own body so that you don’t store energy that is not yours. There are many ways to do this. Here are a few suggestions: Bathe or shower, asking the water to cleanse you energetically. Imagine white light moving down your body, removing any emotions that are not yours. Hold some selenite, which naturally clears your aura. Begin or deepen a practice of cleansing your energy regularly in a way that resonates with you. You are receiving an upgrade to your empathic abilities, and it is imperative that you maintain purifying routines. Reminder: Experiencing empathy is an incredible gift. Care for yourself as you navigate this ability.
Stretching out ahead is a crystal clear lake, smooth as glass. In the water, your reflection shines and shimmers. This lake doesn’t just show your face, it casts back all that you are, including your human self and your eternal soul. The Reflection Lake card reminds you of your soul’s origin. The Judeo-Christian Bible says in Genesis that humans are made in God’s image. In the Emerald Tablets, presumed to be written in Atlantis and taken to Egypt by the god Thoth, an inscription reads, “As above, so it is below... As in heaven, so on Earth.” These messages left throughout time and space serve to awaken a sacred truth within you. Each living being contains a reflection of the Divine, and you are no exception. It is time to accept that you are a mirror image of a higher power who loves you unconditionally. No matter what mistakes you have made, you are always forgiven and valued. Offer yourself the same eternal love that you receive from the Divine. If you are able, spend time near water. Visiting a lake, ocean, or even a tiny stream will connect you to the power of Reflection Lake. As you sit next to the water, take a deep breath and look around. Admire the beauty of nature and remember that the same being who made all of existence also created you. Reminder: Heaven exists here on Earth through you.
Rippling waves of sand stretch out endlessly in a desert landscape. Each individual grain weighs next to nothing, and yet when multitudes are put together, tremendous weight is created. This kind of energy is grounding, stabilizing, and secure. Sand brings the message that consistency is called for at this time. Each grain represents taking one small action in the name of devotion toward something that is desired or needed. These grains of sand will build over time into something so magnificent that you can’t even fully imagine it now. A castle of your own making waits for you on the horizon. It is time to release any resistance you feel about taking steps forward. Let go of the notion that you must do anything to the full capacity or else it isn’t worthwhile. Doing something to move your progress forward, no matter how small, creates consistency and devotion. Take action today toward something you are working to accomplish. Maybe your goals are centered on your career, relationships, etc. but this card also speaks specifically to caring for your physical body. When the vessel is honored and nourished, it can function as a temple for the soul, which quickens your progress in all areas of life. While being consistent is undeniably difficult, the end results that you seek will be worth the effort. Using grounding practices can aid you in building consistency. Some ideas might include walking barefoot on the Earth, breathwork, hiking, meditation in nature, etc. Any activity that helps you feel grounded, secure, and stable is helpful at this time. Reminder: Dedicate a tiny grain of sand today to build a temple tomorrow.
After a long, dark night, the sun begins to rise above the horizon. Glorious colors fill the sky, offering renewed hope and purpose. Sunrises signal the beginning of a new day, and by drawing this card you are also being offered a fresh start. Perhaps you have been feeling lost recently, or unsure of your significance in the greater scheme of life. You may be working tirelessly on something with seemingly little to show for it. Frustration might be setting in. When you feel shaken and uncertain, your compass calls you back to the reminder that you are always worthy of a fresh start, no matter what. You can choose with each new day to begin again. It isn’t necessary to wait until Monday, the start of the month, or some other arbitrary beginning. You can claim it now. To help you feel the energy of this clean slate, it might be helpful to connect with an actual sunrise. Schedule some time to watch a sunrise in person, either from your own living space or out in nature. If this isn’t possible, simply picture one in your mind’s eye, or look at the artwork on this card. Allow the visual of the soothing colors and gentle quiet of the morning to envelop you in a feeling of peace. Know that this moment marks a new beginning for you, and the opportunity to see your entire life through a lens of faith. You will be acknowledged for your efforts and you will receive clarity in due time. Everything will fall into place. Keep your focus on continuing to show up each day, while trusting the Divine plan happening behind the scenes. Reminder: You are always deserving of a fresh start.
A magical cave with a golden floor welcomes you to create clear energetic boundaries. In a cave, you are able to keep your back to a wall, facing the entrance. This allows you the vantage point of seeing anyone who attempts to enter. You hold the power to choose whether you allow certain people or energies into this sacred space. With the presence of the Cave card, you are asked to create or deepen your protective practices. You are called to uphold self-preservation in order to keep your energy high and ensure others don’t drain you. When in social settings, or even while running errands, it is important to practice good energetic protection. Have you ever walked into a room after people had a disagreement and felt the tension? Although unseen, a trail of energy is left behind. There is a spectrum of feelings and thoughts left in the wake of any interaction that you might walk right through. This can impact your own feelings and thoughts. If protecting yourself from outside energetic influences is already a regular part of your daily routine, then the Cave card is calling you to deepen, reinvigorate, or change the current practices that you use. The basic structure of any protective practice involves calling upon your Divine Team (see page 104 for more information), asking for protection, then offering gratitude. From there, you might incorporate different visualizations that call to you. Some options include: Envisioning a bubble around you that only allows loving energy to enter, keeping negativity out. Visualizing yourself surrounded by golden light. Imagining that you are in a cave that moves with you, allowing you to always see what is ahead while having your back protected. Reminder: You have the power to decide who and what is allowed to enter your personal space.
A majestic Eagle soars in the open night sky before a fully illuminated moon. This Eagle represents the ability to see yourself clearly and alchemize your perceived weaknesses into strengths. When the Eagle card arrives, you are being granted access to its sacred powers, which include clarity and alchemy. An eagle’s vision strength is 8 times more powerful than that of a human. They are also masters of the sky, earth, and water because of their hunting skills and the prey they consume. When Eagle energy visits, you receive more clarity about yourself because of this extraordinary visual energy. When you are able to see your so-called “flaws,” it is possible that fear and hesitation might creep in. Clarity can potentially cause you to doubt your own wisdom or capability. You might be wondering if you are qualified to tackle what you’d like to accomplish in life. The Eagle card comes to teach you how to shape shift and become the master of your own universe. Can you take your perceived weaknesses and alchemize them into assets? Examine your personality, habits, tendencies, and abilities. Which qualities are deemed undesirable by society, but are actually valuable? Like the eagle, you are a master of all elements of yourself. All parts of you are needed for this journey called life. Every habit, quirk, or tendency has a purpose and a place. If you want to release or change them, you have the power to do so. You can also shift the lens through which you view them in order to love yourself more fully. Use this eagle energy to take the way you’ve judged yourself in the past and alchemize it into a new perspective of yourself. By doing this, you are healing old wounds. Take responsibility for the power within and become so much more than you ever dreamed possible. You are highly equipped! Reminder: You are a powerful alchemist who weaves all qualities of yourself into the healing journey.
In the midst of a perfectly dark night, the opalescent light of a Full Moon shines down. You stand in reverence to this magical goddess hung in the sky, who is all-knowing and senses that you come with questions. The Full Moon card arrives when you feel confused and tempted to ask someone else for the answers. The truth is that everything you wish to know is within. It is time to lean on your intuition rather than simply having the answers given to you. You probably already know what you need to do, but are resisting it for any number of reasons. Your ego is causing you to question, doubt, or deny what you have already felt. At the core, you are resisting your intuition because the path it illuminates scares you on some level. Your intuition pushes you outside of your comfort zone in order to help you grow, which can generate fear. The full moon will assist in illuminating the answers you seek, but you must meet her halfway. This requires practicing self-trust. Start by sitting quietly in the dark, closing your eyes, and breathing deeply. Slow, steady breaths will send a message to your nervous system that you are safe, which will allow you to settle into your physical body. Then, like a beautiful domino effect, allow the mind and soul to settle and open as well. Ask the Full Moon to illuminate what you seek. The answers might come in the form of your own thoughts, or they may not even arrive during this quiet moment. Trust that they will present themselves in due time, because you have opened a channel to receive the answers. This is the deep process of unlearning a mistrust of yourself. Let go of the idea that answers are outside of you. Resist searching for someone else to point you in the right direction. It is time to venture into the deep, dark, watery depths of your true knowing. Let this healing moonlight dissolve any resistance to knowing that all the answers lie within. Reminder: Your ego causes confusion, while your intuition speaks with peaceful power.
Lapis Lazuli is a deep royal or midnight blue stone with golden flecks. It is an enchanting crystal that looks as if you are holding the entirety of the cosmos in the palm of your hand. There are intuitive and protective qualities that can be felt when working with Lapis Lazuli. When the Lapis Lazuli card appears, it is because you are in need of protection and restoration while you seek deep healing. It comes to wrap you in protective energy as you delve into shadow work. Shadow work is the process of witnessing the parts of yourself that you struggle to acknowledge or accept. When uncovering challenging information like this, Lapis Lazuli offers a balm for your soul. There is a difficult truth that wants to be seen, acknowledged, and felt. You can either picture Lapis Lazuli in your mind’s eye or hold a piece in your hand while working with the questions below. Allow it to surround you with safety and protection as you dig into the depths of who you are. Call in the energy of Lapis Lazuli, then journal your responses to the following questions: What emotions am I currently feeling? What resistance do I feel toward acknowledging them? What would it be like if I felt safe to explore what I’m experiencing? What is the difficult truth that wants to be known? The combined energy of Lapis Lazuli and these questions can unlock a deeper level of self-awareness. Allow yourself to feel the vibration of security while you face challenging emotions or information. Reminder: You deserve a protected environment as you explore your inner depths.
In a Magic Mirror, you are able to see not just your own image, but also the faces of people you know. This mirror shows the overlap of qualities you share with others in your life, even those you may not want to admit. Mirrors exist all around you, manifested as your relationships with others. The Magic Mirror card suggests that you are attracted to both the beautiful qualities and flaws in others because you contain them yourself. All the traits you admire in another person are strengths that you also possess. Likewise, all that you struggle to accept in another is yours to face, too. You may not express these traits the exact same way as others, but you do exhibit them in some capacity. If a person annoys or triggers you, be willing to examine how you also express that core trait. Conversely, you may be greatly inspired by someone in your life. This is because you are being called to acknowledge that aspect of yourself as well! You have pulled the Magic Mirror card to remind you that the light and dark you witness in others also lives in you. You may be unwilling to see who you truly are and choosing to feel jealousy, admiration, anger, or annoyance instead of working to heal. Spend time in meditation imagining that you are holding this Magic Mirror up to your face. Ask the mirror to illuminate both the areas of your greatness and areas that are still in need of alignment. Who are the people in your life that reflect these lessons to you? The more honest you are with yourself, the greater your growth will be! Reminder: You are a reflection of both the traits you admire and the traits that trigger you in others.
Saturn is unmistakable with its rings and a strong, distinct presence in the skies. This planet tosses challenges in your path throughout life, although the intention is not to watch you struggle. Saturn genuinely believes in your power and wants you to become a more refined, wise version of yourself. This planet knows you do not grow in easy situations, and challenges you to rise to the occasion. These are golden opportunities. Saturn asks you to acknowledge the major lesson you are here to face in this lifetime. How is it surfacing now? If you are already familiar with your Saturn placement, you are being called to revisit this lesson. The lesson of your lifetime is... Saturn in Aries: letting go of impulsivity in favor of building consistent, diligent habits in following your passions. Saturn in Taurus: finding balance between working and the desire to hide under the covers, away from the world. Saturn in Gemini: releasing overthinking about how you are seen in your social circles. You are worthy as you are. Saturn in Cancer: facing and feeling your emotions, regardless of how others may perceive them. Saturn in Leo: working to build confidence and trust in yourself and your incredibly creative ideas. Saturn in Virgo: letting go of the desire to help others so much that you abandon yourself. Saturn in Libra: setting boundaries in your relationships and making sure you receive just as much as you give. Saturn in Scorpio: uncovering the deeper meaning beneath what triggers you and holds you back. Saturn in Sagittarius: seeking to learn from those who are completely different from you. Saturn in Capricorn: striking a balance between competition with others and competing against yourself. Saturn in Aquarius: thinking outside of the box and being willing to stand up for what is important to you. Saturn in Pisces: being consistent in cultivating your spiritual beliefs and practices. Reminder: Illuminating your greatest life lesson shows you the path toward evolution and growth.
Although this scorpion sits in the sky, it is prepared to take you to the underworld. It is time to uncover a truth you may have been ignoring in your subconscious mind. You do not have to have any connection to the Scorpio zodiac sign for this constellation to give you a message. This card is bringing attention to the part of you that is ready for depth, healing, and growth. It’s imperative to talk about the subjects that most people avoid and get to the heart of a matter. Right now, there is more to a situation than meets the eye. Are you finally ready to remove any denial you have about yourself and others? What is going unsaid? Where are you not being honest with yourself? You may not be able to put your finger on it, but you know that something is off. The only way out is through. Ignoring or bypassing what is simmering below the surface only leads to prolonged suffering. It’s time to face what you haven’t wanted to see. When you feel your emotions on a deeper level than you ever have before, you are gifted with the opportunity to heal old wounds. Process them now so that you can move on to the next level of your evolution. Your inner compass is telling you exactly what those emotions are, but you must be willing to feel them and listen. How do you do that? There are several healthy options: If it is hard to find clarity, use therapies that tap into the subconscious mind. These include Regression Therapy, Hypnosis, CranioSacral Therapy, EMDR, etc. Free write in a journal to jog the subconscious mind Speak with a licensed therapist or counselor Reminder: The only way out is through.
When the sun begins to sink and darkness rises, shadows stretch out long across the ground. Shadows represent the deepest and darkest corners within you and aspects of your personality that you’d prefer to hide from the world. These pieces of who you are might bring up feelings of shame, guilt, etc. When the Shadow card visits, you are asked to witness your own shadows. This is the process of acknowledging the parts of you that society would typically deem to be “negative”. This could be habits, tendencies, learned behaviors, or beliefs. It is important to note that acknowledgement and acceptance are two different things. Acceptance is not the goal of shadow work, although it may come as a byproduct. The goal is to simply stand in witness of the more challenging qualities you possess in order to see how they serve you. In other words, what have you gained from holding onto your shadows? For example, let’s say you tend to become very angry in relationships and you notice that acting from that anger keeps others from forming a close relationship with you. In this way, anger serves as a boundary so that you don’t have to become vulnerable with others. Maybe you’ve had challenging relationships in the past or in your childhood and it’s easier to keep walls up rather than allow yourself to be seen. At the core of it, anger protects you from having to be vulnerable. This is simply an example, but the Shadow card is asking you to deeply reflect on what truth you are scared of uncovering. It is not necessary to change or let go of anything at this time, it’s simply an awareness that is begging to be explored. Shadow work is soul work. This process means looking at cycles you have perpetuated through time. These types of revelations can uncover quite a bit of emotions, so be gentle with yourself as you travel into the shadows. Reminder: Shadow work is self-realization. It calls for awareness, not change, at this time.
Lightning cracks over a mountain ridge, and moments later thunder shakes the earth. A storm is brewing, and rain clouds hover in the sky. Just as mother nature does, you are also called to embody the spirit of a storm. The Storm card urges you to allow the thunder within to clap, the lightning to strike, and the rain to pour. The only way through this storm is to venture into the depths of your wild emotions. The Storm card asks you to honor that which is rumbling inside you by letting it come to the surface. At some point in your life, it is likely you were taught that expressing feelings such as anger, rage, and frustration was frowned upon. You may have been encouraged to stay positive instead. Yet, the whole purpose of incarnating on Earth is to have a true human experience, which is not all sunshine and rainbows! Your feelings are valid and sacred, even when they aren’t considered “positive” by others. Not to mention, when you hold strong feelings in, they can eventually wreak havoc on your physical and mental health. Find ways to honor your feelings without hurting anyone else or yourself. Some healthy examples include: Screaming out loud or into a pillow Allowing tears to flow Throwing an object safely (a rock into a stream) Writing with extreme honesty in a journal Composing a letter to someone and burning it Listening to music that aligns with your feelings Following an EFT Tapping video on YouTube focused on honoring and releasing anger During this process, do your best to fully allow any emotions to come up without pushing yourself to a place of positivity. When you are ready, you can begin to think about ways to move forward, but for now, be in the anger. Your inner compass asks you to allow the storm to move through you. Reminder: Your feelings are valid. You deserve permission to feel anger and rage as part of the human experience.
Thorns are prevalent throughout the natural world, growing on holly bushes, roses, brambles, cactus, and more. Their ability to cut or wound you represents challenges, pain, and other difficult emotions. The Thorn card surfaces to validate that you are in the midst of difficulty and strife. You may have been conditioned to stay positive no matter what, but Thorn asks you to pause and recognize the pain. It is easier to ignore what you feel, or deny the depth of a situation in an effort to just feel okay again. The problem with blowing past these emotions is that they can fester and create more issues in the future with your health or other undesirable circumstances. Start by honestly stating to yourself that what you are experiencing is difficult and hard. Feel the power of self-validation from deep within. This is not self-pity or acting as a victim, this is earnestly pausing to honor what you are going through. Next, let go of any comparison to others who have faced similar challenges. You might be tempted to dismiss your experience by saying that someone else has been through situations that are far worse than yours. Does another person’s story take away the validity of your experience? Who is to measure the depth of a hardship? Devaluing your experience does nothing to encourage healing. In addition, others may be stepping forward to give their opinions or suggestions. Take advice from them or emulate their actions only to the degree that it is actually helpful for you. The moment you begin to abandon what feels true for you means it’s time to forge your own path. Reminder: Dismissing your pain only perpetuates it. Pause to acknowledge the validity of your challenge.
A tsunami crashes over a beach, stirring up the sand below and flooding all areas in its path. After the storm has calmed, nothing is exactly as it was. The Tsunami card arrives because this is a time of all-consuming change for you. What you are experiencing is a total transformation of your thought processes, beliefs, and perhaps even outer situations in your life. Nature teaches that sometimes radical shifts are necessary in order to build something that is more aligned and authentic. Slow change has its time and place, but the Tsunami card comes up in a reading when there is a sudden transition that alters the course of events. Although you may prefer to move at your own pace, that is not always the path that is in your highest and greatest good. It is often difficult to understand why certain events happen, but faith asks you to let go of what doesn’t make sense to your human mind. During these times of transformation, do your best to surrender, knowing that you do not have control. All that you can do is take care of yourself and those around you to the best of your ability. This does not mean you have to be “strong”, dismiss your feelings, or pour all of your energy into caring for others. It simply means that nurturing and love are called for. You will rise above this wall of water in time. Reminder: Offer yourself grace as you surrender to the transformation process.
A Weeping Willow stands elegantly against the backdrop of a full moon. It stretches up to the sky while its roots extend deep into rich, dark soil. The Weeping Willow card represents your ancestral line as well as anyone who has lived on Earth before you. The long, graceful branches of this tree are notorious for surviving high winds, signifying your own resilience, bolstered by those who came before you. The extensive nature of their roots are a reminder of how wide and deep your roots also travel. You are always connected to the vastness of the human experience through your DNA and subconscious memories. If the idea of reincarnation is true and your soul experiences many lives on Earth, then you are your own ancestor. This is not to say that you have embodied every person on your family tree, or that you’ve only had lives in certain areas of the world. What is important to note is that your healing in this lifetime serves to honor those who came before you, which includes yourself. Celebrating your ancestors and healing generational trauma not only benefits the collective, but it also heals you on a deep soul level. The Weeping Willow encourages you to look at your ancestral line. Research your DNA, family history, historical connections, and beliefs around your ancestors. If possible, find a photograph or keepsake of an ancestor to display in your living space. Practice the rituals they would have held sacred. This might include cooking, gardening, sewing, ceremonies, etc. In doing so, you can activate soul memories within you, which encourages healing. This card can also surface when you are feeling deep emotions and cannot pinpoint the cause. It is possible that experiences of your ancestors or other lifetimes you’ve lived are coming to the surface asking to be acknowledged and healed. Seeking the assistance of a healing practitioner can help you process emotions. Feel the beauty and strength of the Weeping Willow within you as you search the past for understanding, clarity, and healing. Reminder: You are your own ancestor, and any healing you experience will ripple forward and backward through time.
A majestic Bee moves gracefully from flower to flower, collecting pollen as she goes. A gentle breeze allows her to fly with ease and confidence. She is ready to gift you with one of her most powerful abilities. There is an ancient Celtic tradition called “telling the bees.” It was thought that Bees were able to travel between this world and the afterlife as messengers. Each time major events happened in the lives of the Bee owners, it was customary to knock on the hives and share the news with them. It was believed the Bees would then visit the afterlife to pass on these announcements. The Bees are calling on you to follow their lead. Are you communicating with your Divine Team, ancestors, and loved ones? Are you sending your prayers up to the Creator? Spirit wants to have a relationship with you, which requires give and take. It is important to share your heart, feelings, and thoughts with those in the spirit world. This can be done in any way that resonates with you. Perhaps you write a letter in your journal to share what is going on in your life. You might prefer praying silently or out loud. If you feel called to visit a church, synagogue, temple, or other place of worship, do so! No matter the method, seek to make this a regular habit in your life. This consistency will build a beautiful foundation of relationship with the Divine, which in turn will deeply impact the quality and depth of your experience here on Earth. Call on the spirit of the Bee to guide you in communicating with other realms. Reminder: Make time to communicate regularly with the Divine.
A cottage nestled in the forest glows with warm candlelight from behind glass windowpanes. This cottage represents all that home means to you, in both your physical environment and the space within you that is the haven for your soul. The Cottage card brings your attention to the physical space in which you live and how it reflects who you are. Each object in your home contains energy from the moment you received it, the feelings it gave you then, and how it serves you now. You are called to create a home environment that honors the person you were in the past, while also supporting who you want to become. To do this, spend time editing your belongings. If you feel overwhelmed, focus on items associated with a time in your life that you are ready to heal and/or release. As you hold an object, think about the person you were when you acquired it. Imagine wrapping your former self in unconditional love, which is medicine that can move through time and space. As you do this, you are healing past versions of yourself so that you can move forward now. Next, make any changes necessary to ensure your sacred space is comforting, supportive, and cozy. When you come home, the goal is to feel safe being your most authentic, which means setting that tone for yourself. You do not need to purchase new items or redecorate. Often, simply removing items that are no longer aligned with you will create enough of an energetic shift. Re-arranging objects you already have can also incite change. If you need help, working with a Feng Shui practitioner can be helpful, and even deeply healing. This is an opportunity to shift your perspective around how your home honors who you once were and who you are becoming. Reminder: Your home reflects your personal evolution. Ensure that it celebrates all aspects of you.
Before you stretches a table full of abundance. Food, drinks, fresh flowers, and the warm glow of candlelight create ambiance. Family, both biological and chosen, are seated around this table that seems to stretch on forever. The Family Table card serves to remind you of the people who know you deeply. Whatever your culture, nationality, or religious beliefs, all human groups have created holidays or traditions throughout time. These events typically involve gathering together, often around a table. Ram Dass said, “If you think you are enlightened, go spend a week with your family.” Interacting with family and friends can stir up challenging emotions in even the most enlightened of people. These relationships are sometimes the most challenging because they are often difficult to cast boundaries around. Even with its challenges, gathering around this table offers you a gift. You have the opportunity to set kind, yet firm, boundaries with those who may be critical or hurtful toward you. You are also able to determine how you would like to move forward with people you love, but who push the edges of your patience. Drawing even small boundaries offers the possibility of feeling deeply proud of yourself. Utilize the work you have already done on yourself to create a plan of what you will say, how you will respond, or where you draw the line. Choose what you want to speak up against, and what you are willing to let roll off of your shoulders. Give yourself permission in advance to slip outside or go to another room for some deep, centering breaths whenever necessary. Having a plan ahead of time can give you strength in the moment. Remember that you also have the power to choose your family, regardless of biological association. You can curate a group of people to call your family who support you on a soul level. Focus on nourishing those supportive and loving relationships. Reminder: You have the ability to approach a time-honored tradition with a more healed version of yourself.
As the largest planet in the solar system, Jupiter illuminates how you are meant to expand into your fullest potential. To do this, you must learn to utilize levity and pleasure. Jupiter emphasizes the importance of play in a world that prioritizes working hard to achieve success. Tapping into what brings you joy and finding rest is successful, too, because it restores your creativity, energy, and balance. Jupiter is calling you to reconnect with what sets your soul free. What gives you the feeling of being expansive and happy? If you are already familiar with your Jupiter placement, you are being called to reinvigorate your life with ease and joy. What brings you joy on a soul level is... Jupiter in Aries: allowing your imagination to run wild with new ideas and adventures. Jupiter in Taurus: experiencing everything beautiful this world has to offer through your five senses. Jupiter in Gemini: connecting with likeminded people to share your innermost passions and interests. Jupiter in Cancer: creating a nurturing environment for those you most care about. Jupiter in Leo: fervently expressing your charismatic personality in order to inspire others. Jupiter in Virgo: utilizing your natural talent for creating structure and order. Jupiter in Libra: having a strong sense of equity for all people, and finding the beauty in everyone you meet. Jupiter in Scorpio: going beyond surface-level connections to uncover deep (and often hidden) truths. Jupiter in Sagittarius: expanding your perspective through travel, learning, and self-discovery. Jupiter in Capricorn: making steady progress on something that excites you. Jupiter in Aquarius: collaborating with others to share cutting edge, revolutionary ideas. Jupiter in Pisces: using your incredibly accurate intuition and empathy. Reminder: Do more of what ignites your soul’s satisfaction.
A golden lion gazes down on you from a throne in the sky, bestowing you with power, grace, and wisdom. The Leo constellation has long been associated with Zeus, the Greek king of gods on Mount Olympus. There is ancient royalty in this zodiac sign. The Leo card often arrives when you are doubting yourself and offers a renewed sense of just how powerful you are. It is not required to have any connection to the Leo zodiac sign for this constellation to give you a message. This card is bringing attention to the part of you that possesses a beautiful, quiet, inner strength, which needs no external validation. This is Divine Feminine energy at its finest, which displays strength without force. There is no need to proclaim your talents, wisdom, or abilities to the world. True power is not shown through dominance or convincing, but in quiet self-certainty. You may not feel as though you are exhibiting all of these qualities right now, but that’s okay. Leo illuminates where you are doubting yourself or desiring reassurance from someone else. It is exactly when you think all confidence in yourself is gone that you must reach down and find what has been there all along. Remember that you deserve to feel confident in your capabilities. Whether you feel ready or not is irrelevant, because you truly are. Tap into the steadfast tenacity that needs no validation from anyone else besides yourself. Others will naturally see your light when you make decisions and take actions from that place of inner strength. Straighten your crown, remember who you are, and act with confidence and grace. Reminder: You hold a quiet power that only requires self-validation.
A Lighthouse situated on a rocky coastline warns ships of dangers ahead by radiating light. The purpose of a Lighthouse is to guide sailors around hazardous conditions such as rocks, reefs, and shoals. The Lighthouse card comes as a warning. There may be hazards hidden beneath the surface of a situation, or a person is not all that they seem. The path ahead may prove difficult to navigate, but you are gifted with foresight by the Lighthouse. Your inner compass has probably already alerted you, but perhaps you were not ready to see the truth and ignored your gut instincts. You are receiving confirmation now that your intuition is correct, and you would do well to follow that inner guidance. Only you know the best way to course correct in these waters. You must make a choice about how to proceed, and it requires self-trust. Heading straight into the challenges will allow you to learn lessons and grow. Or, you might decide that turning around completely and going another direction is best. Either way, do not listen to any fear that might be trying to overthrow your intuition. Focus on the small voice inside your heart that knows the path. It usually speaks quietly, so be willing to listen closely and remember you are capable of handling anything that comes your way. Reminder: Listen to your inner compass as you traverse a rocky path ahead.
Rose Quartz is a soft pink crystal, sometimes containing white striations. It is revered for connections to the heart, relationships, and self-love. Rose Quartz is a gentle, yet powerful, stone that supports you in learning about yourself and integrating self-love. The Rose Quartz card sends a reminder that you are meant to embody authenticity through self-love. True authenticity means going within to recognize who you are, and eventually showing your truth to the world. It’s time to let go of worries or fears connected to how others perceive you. Rose Quartz is calling you deep into your heart space, to witness what you love about yourself. This crystal wants to wrap you in the energy of soothing grace. Begin by meditating either on your own or following a guided experience focused on self-love. Visualize Rose Quartz in your mind, or hold a piece in your hand. Then use a journal to reflect on the following questions: What do I love about myself? What are qualities I posess that are hard for me to love? What would it feel like if I accepted the less-desirable parts of myself? How can I find more self-compassion? These reflective questions and Rose Quartz come together to expand the full spectrum of who you are. There are always more depths of yourself to explore, so be patient with this journey and allow the healing frequency of Rose Quartz to support you. Reminder: Cultivating self-love allows you to be fully authentic.
In the night sky, stars glow against an inky blue backdrop of infinite space. Unexpectedly, a glowing object arcs across the sky and disappears just as quickly as it came. Shooting Stars represent a flash in the pan of your ultimate hopes and wishes. The Shooting Star card brings the opportunity to send your intentions to the universe as you sit at the altar of the Divine. What are you holding in your heart as a Shooting Star zooms by? You are always welcome to share your wishes with the powers that be, but the arrival of this card indicates that an auspicious portal is open for you. Divine beings are leaning down, asking you to whisper all that you desire into their ears. A higher power wants you to succeed and live your life with peace, joy, excitement, and wonder. If you never ask for what you want, it is more challenging for your Divine Team to give you abundance. Get clear about what you truly desire, because the universe is ready to hand it to you. You are not receiving this gift because of any good deeds you’ve done, or because you have adhered to religious dogma or social rules. You are being offered an opportunity because you are a loved child of the heavens. You are already held in unconditional love, so there’s nothing you need to do. Think deeply about what you truly want, then imagine sending your wish up to the sky on the tail of a Shooting Star. Have complete faith that you will receive. Reminder: You are worthy because a higher power loves you unconditionally.
Sirius, the brightest star in the sky, shines like a beacon from the heavens. In ancient times, many myths and legends were created around this star, both positive and negative. The Sirius card arrives when you are on the receiving end of both criticism and praise from others. Sirius has wisdom to offer around being the center of attention. Every year, Sirius is hidden behind the sun for a period of time, but its return to visibility coincides with the Nile river’s annual flooding season. Ancient Egyptians believed that Sirius sent the floods due to the timing of its appearance. On the positive side, because Sirius is the brightest star, it has been revered as the greatest reflection of the Divine that we can see here on Earth. Sirius is coming to you now as validation that when your light shines brightly, it attracts both adoration and criticism. You may feel tempted to dim your light, or to shrink back into the shadows to lessen the amount of feedback coming your way. These types of reactions only ignite feelings of self-abandonment because you are refusing to honor who you truly are. Like Sirius, others will view you through many different lenses during your life. To some, you are the villain, and to others you are the hero. Their opinions have no bearing on who you actually are. It is important to stay true to your soul and what feels authentic to you, despite what others might think. When you love yourself for both your shadow and divine essence, you are shining your light in the most authentic way possible. Regardless of whether you are the villain or hero in someone else’s story, you are always the main character in yours. Hold steadfast to the power you possess as the brightest star in your sky. Reminder: Dimming your light ignites self-abandonment; allowing it to shine radiates authenticity.
A spider spins her silken web, glistening with dew in the early morning light. The rising sun and setting moon hang together in the sky, illuminating a truth that is woven in this web. The Spider Web card points out that there is something you are holding onto, which is in turn holding you back. You are desperately desiring this one thing, and it is spinning itself into a sticky web. Moving your thoughts away from this particular “thing” is proving to be difficult because you want it so deeply. It is time to release your attachment to whatever this is. Know that if it is meant for you, it will happen, but force will not yield the results you truly desire. Doing so could lead to an opportunity appearing in a way that is not favorable, or at a time that would not be advantageous for you. Spider webs are ancient symbols of creation. You are creating your own current experience. Remember that you are a dynamic force, and there are multiple ways to achieve a goal. Right now you might be laser focused on a singular path or “thing” you believe you need to have in order to achieve. Focus on releasing your expectations. Let go of what you thought your own web would look like, how it would arrive in your life, and your vision of the future. Spend time expressing gratitude for everything you currently have, which will let the universe know that you are ready for even more abundance. In this situation, your inner compass is asking you to trust that everything you desire will come to you when and if it is for your highest good. Your job is to be in the present moment, experiencing full gratitude for what you already have. Reminder: Release yourself from the web of attachment, and lean into trust.
Water rushes over the edge of a cliff, cascading down rocks and boulders before settling into a deep pool below. It’s easy to feel the wonder of a sight that is of the Earth and yet feels so Divine. There is also an inherent danger in being near a waterfall, given its powerful force, slippery rocks, and potentially deep water at the base. Caution must be used in order to stay safe, and a feeling of fear can certainly arise when in the presence of a waterfall. The Waterfall card surfaces when you are getting a glimpse of both your powerful and fearful sides. An experience or revelation has shown you just how incredibly capable you are, which can be exciting and terrifying all at once. Perhaps you’ve never seen yourself in this way before. Similar to the magnitude of a waterfall, witnessing yourself in a whole new light can feel overwhelming. It is time to integrate an entirely new vision of yourself into your awareness. This new version of you is powerful, capable, and strong. Allowing your fear of who you truly are, or what could come in the future as a result, is only holding you back. Sometimes it takes a leap of faith to push the fear out of your mind and step into your power. Close your eyes and jump forward into what is calling you strongly. Feel the magnetizing strength you possess, just like a waterfall draws in spectators. It is time to use your gifts to create positive change in the world. Don’t allow fear to hold you back any longer. Reminder: Release all fear of your greatest self.
Before you stretches a field of Wildflowers in shades of buttercup yellow, soft pink, brilliant orange, and creamy white. Each of these flowers is unique with its own color and form. No two are exactly alike, and each stands tall in their individual beauty. The Wildflower card shows up to remind you of your inherent worthiness and unique qualities. In this modern world, it is so easy to compare yourself to others. Social media, the internet, and pressures from societal norms have created an environment in which it is easy to measure your self worth against a snapshot of what another person is doing. Remember that what you see others sharing online is a highlight reel of the beautiful moments of their life. Rarely are struggles and challenges shared publicly in an authentic way. It isn’t fair to compare yourself to only the best and brightest pieces of someone else’s story. Even when in person, it is not helpful to make assumptions about someone’s life based on outer appearances or what they choose to share. In a world filled with constant criticism, be a Wildflower. Each has their own perfect height, color, and texture that shines bright for all to see. Flowers are not concerned by the progress of their counterparts and do not stifle their own growth. Wildflowers grow next to one another and yet are vastly different. They live in the same soil and receive the same amount of rain and sunshine, yet are completely unique. Let go of looking at what someone else is doing and stacking yourself up against them. Believe that you will bloom in your own way, and in your own time. Trust your own unique process. Reminder: Like a Wildflower, you will bloom in your own way.
Amethyst is a purple stone that can vary in color from soft lilac to deep indigo. It has long been revered in many cultures around the world for its mystical properties. Amethyst is also frequently associated with royalty and other positions of power. It brings you protection, energetic cleansing, a sense of calm, and most importantly, a deep connection to the Divine. The Amethyst card reminds you that it is your birthright to communicate with a higher power. This crystal is associated with the crown chakra, located at the top of your head, which helps you create a bond with the Divine through your mind. The crown chakra is where an actual crown might sit, serving as another symbol of your inherent divinity. Amethyst forms a bridge between your crown chakra and the heavenly realms. Sit down with the intention of finding stillness while either visualizing Amethyst in your mind or holding a piece. Begin by meditating on your own or following a guided experience to connect with the Divine. Then use a journal to reflect on the following questions: How can I strengthen my self-trust? What would it feel like to receive more Divine wisdom? How can I open my Crown chakra even further? What would it feel like to remember my royalty? Do I fully believe in my birthright? These reflective questions and Amethyst serve to remind you of your birthright, which is an abundant relationship with the spirit world. Claim your royalty status as you work with Amethyst. Reminder: Your birthright is your Divinity.
Before birth, as a soul, you created a map of this life. The purpose of the map is not to direct your every move, but to put an anchor on certain experiences and events that shape your time on Earth. Essentially, all roads on the map lead to these anchors, which are unavoidable points along your path. An anchor might represent a career opportunity, finding a partner, living in a certain city, etc. It is always your free will choice to decide how you will arrive at these anchors. Every road leads to them, so a “wrong” path doesn’t exist. Right now you may be experiencing a moment of indecision around which way to go. It is easy to slip into analysis paralysis, letting your mind run wild with the pros and cons of each potential choice you could make. This card arrives to relieve the pressure from your decision. No matter what, eventually you will reach an anchor. Yes, each path has its different challenges and benefits, but none are “right” or “wrong”. As you consider your path ahead, utilize your inner compass. Find a moment of stillness and imagine your compass opening before you. Which choice makes you feel most free? Which excites you? Which pulls down your energy? Follow your first gut reaction to each of these questions. If you are fearing that choosing the “wrong” path will take you away from what is meant for you, know that the anchors cannot be moved. You cannot miss what is your destiny. Use your compass to navigate the waters ahead, but know that you will always reach the anchor points. Trust that you will arrive where you are meant to be in perfect timing. Reminder: You cannot choose a “wrong” path because destiny is anchored into the larger plan for your life. How you get there is up to you.
The Aquarius water bearer lives among the stars, pouring water down upon the Earth. This is no ordinary water, as it represents the wisdom of the Divine. You do not have to have any connection to the Aquarius zodiac sign for this constellation to give you a message. This card is calling attention to the part of you that is ready to integrate all the wisdom you have accumulated in your life and impart it to others. This collection of stars represents the ability to acknowledge how far you have come, what you have learned, and how your wisdom can serve others. If you’re wondering how in the world you are meant to share your story with other people, remember that it does not need to be done on a global, or even large scale. There is no requirement to start a podcast, blog, social media page, etc. in order to communicate your message. Simply ask your Divine Team to present opportunities to speak your truth, and then act upon them when they arise. You might find yourself having a conversation with your neighbor, family member, or friend where sharing about yourself feels natural. Impacting even one person can create a domino effect of healing. If you do feel called to speak on a larger scale, then go for it! Fears around speaking up and being vulnerable might be surfacing, and that is perfectly normal. Feel the emotions that come up, then try to remember that sharing about your experiences has the power to heal yourself and others at the same time. There is a higher purpose for this calling to speak, which is that it will help raise the vibration of the collective. Let go of any societal conditioning that may have taught you to stay small and keep quiet. Your voice is powerful and is meant to be heard. Reminder: The challenges you have faced and the wisdom you have gained are meant to be shared for the betterment of humanity.
Chiron is a heavenly body that was discovered in 1977. The archetype of Chiron is “the wounded healer.” It represents how you have experienced pain, both in this lifetime and others. The symbol for Chiron is a key because this wisdom can unlock deep, transformative healing. Facing your hardships can be purposeful if you choose to help others by using what you’ve learned on your journey. Chiron challenges you to reveal your true power by sharing wisdom with others. You have valuable knowledge that can generate healing. If you are already familiar with your Chiron placement, you are being asked to share in an even greater depth or capacity. Show others that it is possible to... Chiron in Aries: follow your deepest desires and what makes you happy even without the approval of others. Chiron in Taurus: have all the things you desire including money, possessions, etc. even if you don’t feel worthy. Chiron in Gemini: speak up to share your thoughts and ideas even if you feel like an imposter. Chiron in Cancer: let your guard down and allow yourself to be loved and nurtured by others. Chiron in Leo: showcase your talents and abilities without coming across as boastful or bragging. Chiron in Virgo: let go of perfectionism and try something new, even when the possibility of failure exists. Chiron in Libra: find balance by giving and receiving equally in your time, energy, and relationships. Chiron in Scorpio: release anxiety, worries, and fears about losing something you love. You are not powerless. Chiron in Sagittarius: cast away the rules from religion, culture, or society and create your own set of beliefs. Chiron in Capricorn: release the need to control every detail, and be more gentle with yourself instead. Chiron in Aquarius: accept the ways in which you are different from others and find friends who appreciate you. Chiron in Pisces: have faith in a greater plan for your life and trust the universe to take care of you. Reminder: You are a healer who uses pain from your past to transform your future.
Before you entered this life, a Divine Team was assembled to assist you on your earthly journey. This team consists of many types of beings including (but not limited to) spirit guides, angels, archangels, ascended masters, gods/goddesses, deities, religious figures, animal guides, ancestors, loved ones who have passed, and more. These beings work with your inner compass to help illuminate the map of your life. Through this card, they are letting you know that they are with you now and want to help you. Perhaps you have been doubting their presence, and you are being reassured that they are real and nearby. If you are completely unfamiliar with your divine team, now is a wonderful time to meet them! To begin building a connection, spend time in meditation or silence. Ask to be shown who they are, and then see if an image or word comes to mind. If not, that’s okay. Regardless of the depth of your relationship with them, you are being asked to notice the signs they are sending. Be open to receiving messages from them in a totally new way. This card can often indicate an up-leveling in the support you receive from them as well. As you go about your day, pay attention to anything synchronistic that happens and begin putting together the puzzle pieces. Maybe you’ll notice a number repeatedly coming up on receipts, license plates, or a clock. Your divine team can also communicate via song lyrics, passages in books, lines in movies, etc. You can set up a small altar in your living space with flowers, crystals, or small offerings to invite them into your life even more. With time and practice, you will notice with ease when they are communicating with you. This is another avenue of connecting to your inner compass and utilizing the lifelines that you have at your disposal. Reminder: Your Divine Team wants to help you. Listen.
A pod of Dolphins crest above the water, taking in deep breaths full of oxygen, then returning to the depths. Their glistening backs sparkle in the brilliant sunlight. When this card appears, The Dolphins are encouraging you to connect with your breath and use sound to usher in gentle, yet deep, healing. At birth, both Dolphins and humans emerge from a liquid-filled womb, inhale a first breath, then make sounds. Because humans and Dolphins enter the world in a similar way, we are deeply connected to one another. There is much that Dolphins have to teach us about the healing arts of breathwork and sound healing. They have developed a rhythm for breathing and utilizing sound that humans typically take for granted. Right now, what is needed for your highest growth are soft and soothing healing processes. No outward force is needed, only your willingness to delve into energetic work that provides tranquility and peace. Taking deep breaths immediately alerts the nervous system that you are safe. Practice noticing your breathing throughout the day, and slowing your inhales and exhales when stress levels rise. Play gentle music while moving through your routines, if possible. Music that is tuned to specific megahertz frequencies can provide energetic healing without much effort at all. To take it a step further, work with practitioners trained in sound healing or breathwork by attending classes, a sound bath, or booking a private session. Sound, breath, and water are all sources of life. When you return to these elements, you soothe yourself on a very primal level. Step now into the medicinal benefits of working with the Dolphins and your energetics. Reminder: Find peace through gentle healing practices.
Many moons ago, you planted seeds under the cover of night. Not knowing what would come of them, you carefully put your dreams into the universe. Drawing this card honors the completion of a cycle from the inception of something you planted in the past. This does not mean that the seeds are finished growing, but there is an opportunity to reflect on an anniversary or milestone. You could never have known from the start what the completion would look like, despite any expectations you may have had. Here you are now, in the position to harvest and reflect. Look back on what has come to you since planting the seeds, how it has changed you, and the choices you made that brought you to where you are. Now is a time of harvesting in the form of gathering all that you can from the past. There is always something that can be seen as a silver lining, even in the most challenging of situations. This is a time to celebrate, mourn, show gratitude, or express feelings of loss and regret. Whatever emotions are coming up for you, even if they conflict, are all valid and have their place. Acknowledge the work that you have done. Even if the circumstances that transpired were not what you had hoped, if nothing else, you deserve recognition for your efforts. Use this milestone to inform your future choices. What has the past shown you about who you want to be? Where do you want to go now with your newfound wisdom and growth? Reminder: Harvest all that you can from your past to inform your future.
The Nautilus lives deep in the sea, inside a shell that forms a spiral pattern during the growth process. As the Nautilus becomes larger, it moves to a new chamber within its shell, then seals the one previously used. This creature is a cephalopod that has lived on Earth for over 500 million years. When the Nautilus card appears, you are being called to take inspired action based on the sum of your experiences in life. Just as the Nautilus continually moves into new chambers, you are also constantly becoming a new being in the eternal process of evolution. This process is causing old habits and situations to spiral back around, which are in need of addressing again. This message might cause frustration, as you may feel that you have already worked on a particular area of your life, or have previously let go of something that is again coming to the surface. With each pass along this spiral path, you gain more insight, wisdom, clarity, and maturity. Each time you face the “same old” issue in a new way, you are given the chance to not only try again, but to use a higher perspective gained by your past experience. It is an honor to reach a new level of growth! Call upon the wisdom you have acquired to inform choices that will approach a familiar problem in a new way. Reach deeply inside to make a choice that is aligned with the new version of you. If you can find acceptance for the spiral-shaped path of healing that you are on, the process will become infinitely easier. Confidently let go of what no longer serves you (even if you have done it many times before), make a wisely inspired decision, and trust you are ready to move into the next chamber of your life. Reminder: Like the Nautilus, you grow in wisdom with each release and inspired action.
Despite the International Astronomical Union downgrading Pluto to dwarf planet status in 2006, it remains one of the most powerful and transformational heavenly bodies. Pluto represents evolution, fear, and the death of an old version of yourself. Pluto teaches that in order to truly grow and evolve, you must face your fears. This card is coming up to confirm that a fear is making itself known in your life right now so that you can move past it. Simply finding awareness can remove obstructions and open up opportunities for change. You are being asked to face this challenge on a whole new level. It’s time to face your fear of... Pluto in Aries: fully accepting yourself. Focus on acknowledging how amazing you are. Pluto in Taurus: changes in your life and how they might impact you. Focus on taking small steps forward. Pluto in Gemini: speaking up and sharing your opinion. Focus on sharing first with those you trust, then expanding. Pluto in Cancer: losing your safety and security. Focus on trusting that the universe will take care of you. Pluto in Leo: expressing yourself authentically. Focus on speaking up around those you are comfortable with first. Pluto in Virgo: illness, disease, or health problems in the physical body. Focus on physical healing work. Pluto in Libra: dysfunctional relationships with people in your life. Focus on healthy boundaries and communication. Pluto in Scorpio: feeling unloved because you’ve experienced trauma. Focus on therapies and self-love. Pluto in Sagittarius: being wrong, or feeling unknowledgeable. Focus on opening to new perspectives. Pluto in Capricorn: feeling out of control. Focus on letting yourself experience freedom in new ways. Pluto in Aquarius: feeling like an outsider, or different from others. Focus on how your unique qualities are superpowers. Pluto in Pisces: fully experiencing your emotions. Focus on taking baby steps toward accepting your feelings. Reminder: Acknowledging your fears can allow you to move past them and live fully.
The North Star, also known as Polaris, gleams brightly through the inky black night sky as it hovers above the Earth’s rotational axis. Because this star is situated above the north pole of our planet, it appears to hang, unmoving, in the heavens. It has been used since the beginning of time in the northern hemisphere to guide way-finders and travelers in their journeys. Although it is not considered to be the brightest star in the sky, it is the most consistent as it does not move. It can be found at any time of year, during any hour of the night, as long as the sky is mostly cloudless. Polaris is asking you to lean into consistency and steadfastness. It is important at this point in your journey to stay focused, confident, and stable. There may be situations emerging right now threatening to rock your boat and stir up challenges for you. Remain steady, just as Polaris does. It is not a time to follow every whim that comes to you, or allow yourself to be pulled by the tides. What is required of you now is structure, a plan, and discipline. You must provide yourself with the solid foundation that you seek. It is time to trust that you can be consistent. You are capable of taking devoted action, which requires you to show up every day for yourself. You have the ability to overcome any hurdles in your path at this time by staying focused. You are your own true north. When the rest of the world disappoints you, you always have yourself to rely on. Reminder: You are your own true north.
The Sun’s golden rays reach out and touch the whole world, warming our environment and lighting up the planet. Like the Sun, the core of who you are is meant to shine for all of the world to see, too! This card comes to honor you with manna from heaven after having completed challenging inner work. You have confronted your shadows and weaknesses. You’ve also witnessed your own inner beauty, which can be difficult to acknowledge when you’ve been told your whole life not to brag or boast. You’ve overcome obstacles that you never dreamt possible, and it’s time to see yourself in a whole new way. You are meant to be a leader for others, and the hardships you’ve experienced are the curriculum you’re meant to teach. What you’ve learned can be incredibly valuable to those who are on a path you once walked. Use what you have learned to illuminate the way forward for others. Step into the confidence to be an example simply by being yourself. This doesn’t mean you need to start a business or strive to become famous. It simply means that by showing your authentic, true, beautiful self to the people in your life, you can impact others far more than you even think possible. In Astrology, the Sun represents your shining, effervescent essence, so who are you really? How would you describe yourself when you are in your highest and greatest vibration? It’s time to let go of the idea that speaking positively about yourself is boastful or a sin. You are a golden, magical, magnetic being, just like the Sun. There is truly no one who is like you, and we will all benefit from you shining your most authentic self to the world. Reminder: Like the Sun, you are a brightly shining star, and the world needs your light.
A Sundial’s ancient face is illuminated by the rays of mid-day light. Sundials have measured time for thousands of years using shadows created by the sun. They are built with the use of a straight edge and a compass. Your inner compass also works with the element of time to guide you ever forward on your path. Many Sundials bear inscriptions written by the owner or maker, usually having to do with the topics of time, mortality, or virtue. The intention seems to be advising passersby about what truly matters in life. While there are countless expressions that have been used, the Sundial card comes to share with you one particularly popular Latin phrase, “dona præsentis cape lætus horæ” meaning, “take the gifts of this hour.” The only thing you truly have is the present moment. Spending time ruminating over the past or worrying about what may come in the future only robs you of experiencing the one thing you actually have for certain. Time is in constant motion, and the human mind will never be able to understand the complexity of what once was and what will be. Despite all of that, there are gifts waiting for you right now that you will never have again. Pause in this moment to search for the gifts. Search for the heaviness that you can drop from your shoulders. Search for the beauty that offers itself to you. Search for the challenge that you are tasked with conquering. Search for the power you hold. Remember that your soul is not bound by time. You are an eternal being with unlimited opportunities to grow, change, expand, and evolve. If you are aware of the present moment, you will find the gift of eternity. Reminder: Each moment holds a gift. Search for it, and you will accumulate a treasure trove that adds up to a lifetime of love.

Surely you have heard the phrase (or some variation thereof), “Let your inner compass guide you.” You can tap into it without realizing, but being conscious of this gift creates incredible personal sovereignty. Throughout my life, I have worked to not only listen to my intuition, but to also act upon the guidance given to me. I have found that in doing so, my confidence, self-trust, and faith have grown exponentially. The Inner Compass Oracle is your guide to harnessing this tool for yourself in order to better navigate the changing tides ahead of you.

How is the deck organized?

The Inner Compass Oracle is arranged into four sections honoring the cardinal directions of North, South, East, and West. As you use the deck, you will journey through each of these directions to discover what they represent to you and how to utilize their power.

Before we discuss these sections, it is important to note that many cultures worldwide have significant meanings for the cardinal directions. I deeply honor all indigenous, ancient, and cultural traditions for their wisdom and sacred knowledge. The Inner Compass Oracle does not draw upon any existing cultural or indigenous interpretations of the four directions. All themes and meanings have been channeled through me from my own Divine Team. Any similarities are unintended.

East Cards

Your journey begins in the East, just as the sun rises from this direction each day. The cards in this section focus on the idea that you are a divine being having a human experience. The recognition of your divinity is essential because it affirms the bond you have with a higher power, who guides you. This set of cards act as a reminder that you are always divinely connected.

South Cards

Next, the journey takes you South, to focus on the task of shadow work. Your shadow consists of the habits, beliefs, thoughts, or actions you take that are difficult for you to admit or accept. In this direction, the cards offer encouragement to let go of denial and see yourself clearly. The messages are supportive in gaining clarity through feeling your emotions deeply and honestly.

West Cards

In the West, self-love is the focus. You have illuminated your divine self in the East and walked with your deepest shadow in the South, and it is time to find integration. This is the act of self-love, which involves acknowledging and accepting all parts of you. Trusting your inner compass becomes easier when you know yourself more fully. All of the cards in this section focus on finding compassion, love, and empathy for yourself, in all your many forms.

North Cards

North is the final direction, because a compass always points to true north. It is time to honor yourself by taking action based on having moved through all of the previous work. The messages in this section feature themes around taking steps forward based on your intuition, creating positive change, completion of cycles, manifesting, and authenticity. When you take any of these actions, you are honoring your inner compass.

What people are saying about The Inner Compass Oracle…

Grace

“A Breath of Fresh Mountain Air, A Peach Sundae, Rainbow Prism Reflections, these are the feelings; the images evoked in my mind when I connect to the Inner Compass Oracle.
The Inner Compass Oracle by Dana Whitby allows for a journey through time and space that the user can drop in and connect to at any moment.
It helps you to remember who you are, to be reminded of your own divine spark, and that your intuition is The Inner Compass. The guiding light that Dana beautifully demonstrates through the messages in each card illuminates moments that are instinctually human. Anyone can relate to and understand the messages the Inner Compass Oracle shares because we all share it, too. The imagery of the cards does this through color and symbols, stories, animals, human and ethereal archetypes that we all embody.
What is exciting to me as a intuitive myself is to see how these cards could be used in so many ways for different readers, healers, and for anyone in their homes to bring that divine connection closer in daily life. It can help you feel like you can begin to read your own Inner Compass and know which direction to turn.
This deck comes with beautiful messages and guidance written by Dana and it’s clear how sparkly and shiny the Divine Energy is that channels through Dana and into The Inner Compass Oracle. Can’t wait to get my hands on this deck to use in my own practice and with my clients.”
Alicia

“The Inner Compass Oracle deck is first and foremost so beautifully crafted. The messages and imagery are wonderfully synergetic, with each enhancing the impact of the message coming through working with the cards. The central image provides a focal point that is grounding, while also using fantastical background imagery and coloring that allows us to experience the metaphysical. The messages offer both practical guidance and an opportunity for intuitive contemplation. Reminders are provided after the guidance for each card, which provides a key takeaway and essence of the spirit of the message. The deck includes cards for the planets, which provide a general message as well as a personal message based on an individual astrological planetary placements. Overall, lovely experience, and I can’t wait to do more work with this deck!”
Katie

“I just wanted to start off saying that I am so honored to be one of the 1st people to get a full reading from Dana as she uses her very 1st deck, The Inner Compass Oracle, that she has created. I know how much blood, sweat and tears she has put into this deck over the last two years. I’m so proud of her!
I’m not a person that will usually book readings, but I felt like I needed some confirmation about what was going on in my life right now. So I asked Dana for a general reading and wow, what a reading. The cards that were coming out were so on point with what was coming up in my life and reminding me to keep going, and that I am where I’m meant to be in this time and moment in my life. Dana used mostly used her intuition while giving the reading, but with some cards she felt to read from the guidebook because she felt that I need to hear the original message that she wrote. And she was right, I needed to hear those messages too.
I feel like Dana wrote this deck for me. I’ve told Dana this many times when she would show me a card from her deck while it was being created. The messages from each card felt so on point and just what I needed in that time. I hope you have a similar experience when getting a reading from Dana or pulling cards from your own The Inner Compass Oracle deck.”
Jenna

“Dana’s oracle deck is absolutely stunning. The artwork, colors and all around aesthetic on each card truly encompass Dana’s magic. I resonated deeply with each card Dana pulled and the messages she channeled. I am so thankful for intention and thoughtfulness put into my reading. It was so spot on and I know with all my heart that the messages I received were meant for me. I can’t wait to schedule myself with another reading soon and wholeheartedly recommend others gift themselves one as well.”
Tara

“I met Dana Whitby through a program we participated in Fall 2022. I follow her on Instagram and was immediately taken by her upcoming Oracle deck cards that she shared. The artwork is aesthetically gorgeous and well pieced together. Then, reading Dana's messages to go with the cards further drew me in.
Dana offered a reading using these beautiful cards; so I had to snag one and, fortunately, I did! Wow, so much wow with my reading. It's tough to express so much in a review. I am still buzzing from all the synchronicities and confirmations that arose.
I am so thankful to my Spirit Team and Dana for this reading using such a beautiful deck. Everything was so spot on. I'm excited to have the deck for myself!”
