Expecting The Unexpected

Decks used are the Spirit Animal Oracle, The Wisdom of the Hidden Realms, The Enchanted Map, the Oracle of the Seven Energies, and the Good Tarot, all by Colette Baron Reid

So, it’s nearing the end of the month, and I can feel the energy changing and perhaps winding down a bit? It seems that the transformative energies we’ve been experiencing have left us seemingly unsettled and strange, but I wonder if that’s just because it’s a new year and a new set of lessons to learn are trying to reach us. Let’s keep that in mind and we get into some cards. What’s going on with the energy right now? To the cards we go, friend.

Unexpected visitors: if you expect the unexpected, you’ll be prepared for miracles.

Exposed and Revealed: healing shame, imposter syndrome, self-condemnation, freedom from past unresolved wounds, focusing on self-worth and seeing the underlying beauty in rejection.

beyond the ordinary: the mystical, knowing that some things can’t be known, the awareness that things are as they should be, even if they don’t make sense.

Alrighty friend, what I’m seeing right off the bat with this reading, is the idea that you need to tap into your authenticity and power in order to heal whatever shame and self-condemnation you’ve been putting yourself through at this time. It’s not serving you, and I think you’re well aware of this issue. It’s especially prevalent right now as you’re being called to trust the magic around you right now because it holds knowledge and ideas you didn’t think could ever happen or be possible for you. The thing that will help you do this is diving deep into your personal power and celebrating the illumination and enlightenment it brings you. Truthfully, friend, there are some things that can’t and shouldn’t be known. The mystery of these things are what makes life interesting don’t you think? If you learn to expect the unexpected, you’ll prepare yourself to accept things you never thought were possible for you.
