I love the world of Tarot and have my own personal twist when doing in-person readings. The cards offer guidance to help us look at what is already inside us.

I don't think they tell the future, but can give us perspective and direction.

This week starts us off with the Vision of the Nine of Cups. This is the card of happy endings. Contentment and fulfillment both emotionally and spiritually. I'm pretty sure every single human on this planet has such a vision of what that would be for them, no matter where they are from or what they believe.

That's the great equalizer, every human wants not just survival and security, but a life in which they thrive and every one they love is there with them, thriving and loving their life completely. Yet, we let so much get in the way of that for ourselves and others.

Many of us are guilty of putting their happy ending vision always somewhere in the distant future, yet never adjusting our present to a path that will lead us there. Or projecting onto others images of villainy and distrust, or othering so that we can't view them as humans with the very same goals as our own, often obstructing their path towards their own happy endings.

Let's stop this division now. And allow everyone to strive towards their life of thriving.

This weeks wheel has been all about deep self reflection. And this oracle card is doubling down on the advice given this week.

Our perception of ourselves can often become very confused and distorted if we are basing it solely on the reflection of ourselves that others project back to us. Remember, what they see and their opinions and judgements of you are only one facet of the whole, and has often been been filtered and distorted by their own fears and judgements of themselves.

Not every reflective surface is created equal, and not every opinion is either. Only your direct perception of yourself can get you closer to your own truth.

We can take other's perspectives into consideration, but we cannot build our identities and personalities on what others assume about us. You not only know who you are, you get to decide who you are. No one else gets to do that for you.

As our Healing card this week the Queen of Wands is asking you to express and embody your beliefs and who you are deep down inside without fear or judgement.

If you hold what you believe in so strongly and confidently, then you shouldn't be scared to express it and be it. And this is why it is so important this week to look inside and analyze if the beliefs you hold are truly yours.

Because if you are scared to express or embody what you believe, then are they truly your beliefs? Are you actually being yourself? Or are you holding onto what other people or society has projected onto you?

Pele is the Goddess that nourishes and does what feels right in every instance. Both destroying and creating. Only keep what nourishes you and and the the world around you.

Our Manifestation card this week is the Lovers. And like I have said before, this card isn't just about romance. It may factor in for you this week depending what is going on in your life, but your romantic relationships may just be one of many choices you have to think about.

This week the Lovers are asking you to look at the duality of your spiritual and physical life. Directly, it is asking you, do you walk the talk?

Many of us believe in a lot of spiritual concepts and ideals, which we are being asked to look at deeply this week. So how do our spiritual beliefs manifest for us in our daily life? What do you actually practice? Not just rituals. But your daily actions. Do they demonstrate daily the ideals and ethics you hold as important?

Are you an example or a hypocrite?

Our Power card this week is the Nine of Wands. Representing persistence, strength and hope. You are near the end of a long an arduous trial and the rewards it will reap can be seen on the horizon.

Baba Yaga's house on chicken feet can be seen in the background on this card. She is often seen as a villain these days, but I think that may be a misrepresentation. I see her more as the Hermit with deep knowledge and spiritual wisdom whom people like the young Vasilisa the Beautiful seek out, hoping for a quick answer.

But most people don't learn the lessons if we are just told them. Humans learn through trial and error. And Baba Yaga and other spiritually enlightened people see through the illusions and know what trials and tests you have to go through to fully understand.

Your power this week will be the ability to persist and endure the hard work ahead. Pay attention, because this work is important and full of lessons.

We start this week off with the Hermit as our Vision card. The Hermit is imploring us to stop whatever it is we are doing right now and look within.

Not on a surface level either. Look deep. Deep into your spiritual beliefs and really evaluate what they are and what they mean to you.

There is a type of spiritual Hermit in most religious histories. We tend to picture the lone monk on the top of a mountain or locked away in his cell deep in meditation or other esoteric rituals. This kind of deep internal exploration is what is being asked of us.

It isn't easy, it is a calling. What form it takes for you depends entirely on who you are as a person. Are you willing to take up this journey and grow in ways you have never imagined?

For our Lesson cards this next little while I will be using the Sacred Rebels oracle deck. Just to switch things up for a bit. And so far, things are looking good! Our first lesson card of the year fits perfectly into our medicine wheel this week!

We are being shown that it is okay to go "Against the Grain" sometimes. It's time to do it more often right now as the status quo is proving to be more and more unhealthy for us day by day.

The wheel this week asked us to look at what success was for us. What our own skills and knowledge are. To trust in ourselves. To celebrate everything we are and love. This card also asks this of us. It asks us to fully embrace what is unique and singular about ourselves and to not feel any shame about it if it proves to be not conventionally acceptable.

It's okay to shake things up a bit and be weird and unusual. That is what brings change and awareness. If you make other's a bit uncomfortable with your quirkiness that's okay. That means there is room for growth and learning (just remember to do things with kindness).

What looks like success or abundance to you may not to others, and that's okay! We all have different goals, perspectives, needs, and wants. And the more of us that are accepting of others differences, then that's more of us being able to find our success and abundace.

Our beautiful Healing card this week is the Four of Wands. A card of joy and celebration.

A reminder to make room in your life for fun with the people you love and appreciate. And to celebrate your wins instead of just focusing on your failures.

Take the time to formally, or informally, celebrate your life and what you have been able to achieve so far. Share it with everyone you hold dear. The difficult parts start to feel a whole lot less difficult if you can feel gratitude in the abundance you do have.

Celebrate the small things just as much as the big things. They are just as important. And sometimes, with hindsight, the small things are the most important to us. So don't be afraid to show your appreciation to everything and everyone, profusely! It's not embarrassing. It's what the world needs right now.

And as our Manifestation card we have the Two of Swords. Even though you are entering the new year with a Vision of your past success, and faith in yourself, no one said it was going to be easy. Life is that way a lot of the time.

Staying true to yourself and your path will have you facing hard decisions more often than any of us would care to. But you can do it! This card is about facing our fears and making those hard decisions. In the end it's better than ignoring them until they become a monster that consumes us. Self-reflection is key with this card and seems to be a running theme for this entire wheel. Make your choices after reflection and not on your reaction to fears.

There is also a duality to this card. Do you really have only "this or that" to choose from? Don't be afraid to think outside the box and find a third alternative.

What a perfect card for our first Power card of the year! It's time to embody the Empress!

She doesn't fret about what she can and cannot do. She knows what she can do and then does it well. She has confidence in her skills and knowledge and never rushes towards her goals. She knows everything has it's right timing, right season.

It's time to listen to yourself and trust yourself. If you have done what this week's vision card suggests and focused on what you have already achieved, then you are already on your way to more success and abundance. The Empress now asks, so what skills and knowledge did you use to reach your past achievements? For that's the path to take.

The Empress focuses only on what she can do and can change. Therefore she has more energy and power to put into the things that matter. None of her energy is wasted on what she cannot control. What were you able to achieve before? What is it that you can do now?

Welcome to a new year and a new medicine wheel tarot reading this week! I'm using the Tarot of the Divine deck for the wheel now and our center lesson card will be from an oracle deck I inherited. Let's see how it goes.

For our Vision this week we start off with the Nine of Pentacles. We often make the mistake of starting our year off with making goals and resolutions we have yet to achieve in the year to come. Starting off at zero with high expectations of ourselves can feel quite daunting. Why do we do that to ourselves?

This card asks us to look at all the hard work we have already done and what that has brought into our lives. What did you do in the last year that has you starting off this year where you are now? Each new year does not start from scratch. Each one builds on the other. A new year doesn't make what you achieved last year obsolete.

Go forward with the abundance you have brought yourself so far. Not what you didn't get to do yet.
