Creating a New Year's Eve tarot spread can be a fun and introspective way to gain insights and set intentions to help you prepare for the year ahead.

Start by cleansing and then shuffling your tarot or oracle cards while intentionally asking yourself the following questions:

✨ 1. ✨ What energy or theme should I focus on in the upcoming year?

✨ 2. ✨ What should I leave behind in the old year, and what do I need to release?

✨ 3. ✨ What are the key opportunities and challenges I can expect in the new year?

✨ 4. ✨ What personal growth or inner work should I prioritize in the coming year?

✨ 5. ✨ What is the most important intention or resolution I should set for the new year?

After laying out your spread and receiving your messages, we recommend journalling ✏️📓 about it to allow any breakthroughs, additional messages, or emotions to come through.

Watch out for readings with our resident intuitive reader 🔮 and astrologer Haley coming soon to the Cedar Crystal Co. shop!

Capricorn ♑️ is a cardinal earth sign ruled by the planet Saturn and is known for its strong WORK ETHIC, AMBITION, and PRACTICALITY. During this season, we're inspired to set our sights on our goals and pursue them with unwavering determination. It's a time to roll up our sleeves and embrace a disciplined approach to life. 💪

Career 💼 , public image, and financial responsibility 📊come into focus during Capricorn season. It's a period when we may find ourselves more concerned with our professional reputation and working diligently to advance in our chosen fields. It is also an opportune time to review our budgets, set financial goals, and make wise choices for our economic well-being. It is also an ideal time to embrace structure and organization by cleaning up our routines, decluttering our physical spaces, and creating systems for greater efficiency.

⏳ The energy of this season also encourages patience and endurance. Success isn't always immediate; it often requires sustained effort. So, we're reminded that steady progress is sometimes more important than quick wins. 🕰️ Like the mountain goat, we climb, stumble, and keep going. The challenges we face can be valuable lessons along the way, and our hard work will eventually pay off. 🌞

This season is ideal for strategic planning and goal setting. As we reflect on the past year and the one that lies ahead, we have the opportunity to lay the groundwork for our aspirations. Whether it's in our careers, relationships, or personal development, this is the time to make solid plans and stick to them. So, let's set our sights high, stay grounded, and trust in our ability to reach the summit of our dreams. 🌠

Crystal meditation combines the calming and focusing effects of meditation with the energetic and healing properties of crystals. The following can be used as a guide to begin your practice!

💎 CHOOSE YOUR CRYSTAL 💎
Select a crystal that resonates with the intention or energy you want to bring into your meditation.

🌅 CREATE A SACRED SPACE 🌅
Find a quiet, and comfortable private space. Cleanse the space and yourself in a respectful and intentional way that resonates with you both personally and culturally. Remember that the act of setting an intention and taking a moment to prepare your space can be cleansing in and of itself.

🪑 SIT OR LIE DOWN 🪑
Get into a comfortable position that allows you to be relaxed and stay alert.

🤔 SET YOUR INTENTION 🤔
While in contact with your chosen crystal, take a moment to clearly visualize your intention for what you are hoping to achieve from this meditation.

🫁 FOCUS ON YOUR BREATH 🫁
Start by taking a few deep, calming breaths. Slowly inhale through your nose and exhale through your mouth allowing any tension to leave your body.

🙈 QUIET YOUR MIND 🙈
Close your eyes and do your best to quiet your mind. You can focus on your breath or use a guided meditation app.

🌈 VISUALIZE 🌈
Visualize the energy and color of the crystal surrounding and filling you with its properties.

⚡️ FEEL THE CRYSTAL'S ENERGY ⚡️
Tune into the sensations you feel in relation to the crystal. You might experience warmth, tingling, or simply a sense of peace.

🧘 MEDITATE 🧘
Stay in this state of meditation for as long as you feel comfortable. Allow the crystal's energy to merge with your own.

🙏 EXPRESS GRATITUDE 🙏
Once you're ready to end your practice, express gratitude to the crystal and its energy. Slowly bring your awareness back to your surroundings.

📝 JOURNAL OR REFLECT 📝
Take some time to journal or reflect on how you feel and any insights you gained from your meditation.

Using crystals can be a powerful enhancement to your meditation but remember it is a personal practice so trust your intuition and find the approach that works best for you.

🌎💎 Quartz is one of the most common gemstones found on the earth and a large number of our favorite crystals are forms of quartz. Quartz is divided into two main categories; macrocrystalline and micro- /cryptocrystalline. 💎🌎

MACROCRYSTALLINE CRYSTALS
These crystals are large enough to be seen by the naked eye.

✨Some examples of macrocrystalline quartz include Clear Quartz, Rose Quartz, Amethyst, Smoky Quartz, and Citrine.✨

MICRO- and CRYPTOCRYSTALLINE CRYSTALS

Microcrystalline materials have crystals that are larger and visible under a microscope but not to the naked eye.

✨One of the common forms of microcrystalline is some varieties of Chalcedony. ✨

Cryptocrystalline materials have extremely small or amorphous crystals that are not visible even under a microscope. The individual crystal grains are tightly intergrown, giving the material a dense and uniform texture.

✨One of the common forms of cryptocrystalline is also Chalcedony. Agate and Jasper are two well-known varieties of Chalcedony. ✨

🤍 Chalcedony 🤍
Typically translucent or opaque. It is known for its waxy or vitreous luster and often occurs as nodules or layers in other rocks, such as limestone or volcanic deposits.

🤍 Agate 🤍
Known for its distinctive concentric and irregular banded or layered appearance. These bands can be multicolored and exhibit unique patterns and designs. This form of chalcedony is generally translucent.

🤍 Jasper 🤍
Comes in a variety of solid, speckled, or mottled colors and patterns. It is generally opaque and exhibits a wide range of colors and patterns.

Some reminders to make the most out of Sagittarius Season 2023!

🌈 Prioritize Optimism 🌼
Sagittarius season encourages us to look at the bright side of life. Don't just embrace this, but make it a priority.

🤝 Value Honesty 💎
Don't be afraid to speak your mind. Sagittarius energy is known for honesty, so consider engaging in open and honest conversations.
🚨 Just be mindful of being too blunt or tactless!

🌱 Explore Personal Growth 📈
Sagittarius season is ruled by Jupiter, a planet of wisdom and philosophy. Use this energy to explore your own mind and soul. What are your belief systems and philosophies, and how do they help or hinder your personal growth?

🌟 Embrace Independence 💪
Take the time during Sagittarius season to enjoy your own company. Find something you like to do and try doing it on your own! If you are naturally independent already, try stepping out of your comfort zone and trying something new!
🚨However, remember that independence does not equate to not needing others; it's about having the strength to stand on your own while cherishing the connections that enrich your life.

🌅 Expand Your Horizons 🌇
Sagittarius energy is all about expanding your horizons. Try something new, reassess a value or opinion that no longer aligns with you, take a trip to experience a different culture, or build new skills.

🏝 Seek Adventure 🏕
Embrace your inner wanderlust and plan a trip or an adventure. Whether it's a weekend getaway, a road trip, a local walk/hike, or a visit to a new country, Sagittarius season is all about exploration!

So, here's to a month of adventure, self-discovery, and endless possibilities. Let's make the most of this vibrant and optimistic Sagittarius season!
