In The Spirit of Authenticity

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

Alright friends, I want to start here by saying that I am quite excited to give this reading because this reading is the first tarot pyramid of the year. I enjoy this spread because firstly, I really enjoy a large spread (my sun tier members on KOFI already know this…). Secondly, there is excellent help to be gleaned from these readings and good stories to be told as well. I don’t really have a question going into this so let’s see what the cards have to say shall we? Here we go.

cards pulled from various decks

BASE

Empress: creativity, abundance, possible pregnancy, nurturing of growth and life

Magician: having the resources and capability to make your magic

Page of cups (water): one who takes lessons learned and applies them to their emotional and spiritual growth, one who is deeply emotional and learning how to channel these things properly.

7 of Water (cups): there are lots of options being presented to you but you need to pick between them carefully. Not all that glitters is gold

King of water: someone who understands the depths of their emotions and can feel them without being overwhelmed by them, someone open hearted and wears their heart on their sleeves.

Body and Soul: taking care of yourself, seeing yourself as a complete package, body and soul together self-hood, authenticity, identity and physical health

the Power of purpose: individuality, seeing your unique, authentic purpose, having a healthy self-esteem, letting go of conditioning, celebrating your uniqueness, you being you.

OUTCOME

Wide Open: you are free to express your uniqueness to the world and share in all the bounty of life’s endless possibilities.

At the base of this reading, there is a lot of creativity and growth during this time. You also have a lot of options during this time as well, but there is a rather important need for you to be careful here as well. Not everything that glitters in the cups in front in front of you is gold so you need to take the lessons you’ve learned along the way and use them to weigh out the options you have. On top of that, tapping into your personal truths and values is going to help you a lot here as well. Remember friend, that you have the capability and power to make things happen.

As for you, my friend, I see that you’ve been in survival mode for a while now. Perhaps this has been because you have been dealing with some inner conflict due to overthinking what you have ahead of you, or perhaps you’ve fallen for some false promises that were made to you. Take small steps forward and don’t be afraid to ask for help if you need it. Trust and believe, there is no shame in doing this for yourself.

As for your options at this time, there is an opportunity to reset your mindset to operate outside of the scarcity mindset you’ve put yourself in. this time is testing your endurance and when you can absorb the non-lack mindset, you’ll see that you do have the power to co-create the abundance you desire with Spirit by your side.

If you do decide to take this option, you’ll likely have to take care of your heart and mind right now. The best way to do this is to tap into the authenticity and power of your purpose to make the best movement forward. If you don’t take this option, it’s likely that you may further lose touch with your authenticity and completeness. What I mean here is that the inner conflict you’re experiencing right now is potentially clouding your ability to see yourself in a positive light. By miring yourself in disappointment and not taking this option, it may be that you find yourself feeling stuck in a rut, so to speak.

As for the outcome, of this reading I’m seeing that either way you slice the pie, the path is still going to be wide open for you. It’s lovely to see that you have so much in store for you, and the power of your authentic personhood is going to drive your forward. It seems like now is the best time for you to express yourself and your creativity, take calculated risks in your life and in your energetic spaces and all of this will bring in new possibilities when they’re right for you to have them.
