The Solstice is a powerful time for transformation whether you are moving into light or dark. Shall we pause together during this in between time as we shift from one cycle to the next. This reading can be part of honoring this marker of change.
When we elevate our consciousness and awareness to this light through playing with this reading, we can affect All That Is. This pause can honor the many lessons that we have already learned and celebrate the new experiences that we are calling in.
What lessons can we glean from this last season? What bounty can we offer thanks for? What do we wish to call in? How can we be a positive force for goodness? How can we be more fulfilled personally?
Card No. 1: What lessons am I Harvesting? – Guardian of Wands ‘Rafael’
I am never alone. Beings, on the spiritual plane, hover close. They wish serve as protectors and guides. When I reach out and ask for help, I can access that help. I am learning the language that my Guides speak. I am becoming more sensitive to the nuances of signs and symbols that appear — especially when I ask for help.
The power of healing can come through me. I may not consider myself a healer… But by setting an intention to be a conduit for healing energy and through the power of visualization — especially working with green light, I can bring healing to others. My hands can bring healing touch to family and friends. It is enough to simply place my hands on someone. The Archangel Raphael can transmit healing energy through me.
Card No. 2: What blessings am I receiving? – Two of Hearts ‘Engagement’
I am receiving the ability to love unconditionally. Overthinking and analysis are out the window. I don’t have to play ‘make a deal’ anymore. Courage replaces fear. I am jumping in and I am making the commitment to give wholly of myself. If someone is worth spending time with or if a project is worth my investment, I am giving my whole heart.
Card No. 3: What is expanding in my world right now? – Six of Crystals ‘Give and Take’
My sense of accomplishment and pleasure in achieving important goals and seeking peak experiences is taking on a greater meaning. I realize that often I am a path finder. I may be pioneering a new way to do something or I may be exploring an uncharted course. This may take great effort and a large investment of time, but once I have succeeded it creates an easier way forward for others who come after me.
Card No. 4: How can I shine my light out into the world? – Nine of Hearts ‘Generosity’
Traditionally in Tarot this is the ‘Make A Wish Card’. My life has moved beyond vacillations between a cup half empty and a cup half full. The ability to forgive myself and to forgive others has brought me to a point of personal fulfillment. My cup overflows. I am sourced by unlimited love, joy and wisdom. My wish is to generously share all of these with others.
Card No. 5: How can I open myself up to greater joy? – Three of Hearts ‘Friendship’
Friendship, the coming together of friends and family in celebration is an unopened treasure chest that I have been sitting on. It’s time to open up. This is a new priority. I am re-prioritizing and re-arranging my life to experience greater joy. This invites my inner child to come out and play. It’s safe now. It’s fun. Let’s have more fun now.
