The Solstice Sun Wheel

Deck used is the Mystic Mondays Tarot by Grace Duong

Spread can be found at Banshee’s Cauldron of Creativity

The purpose of this reading, for me, was to have a look at the way things are likely to go for the year coming up. There are various areas this spread looks at, and while I’ve done a reading like this before for my private diary, I wanted to do one for the blog, because I do think this can be informative and interesting. I’ve included the link where I found the spread. Let’s see what the cards say, shall we?

To get started, I like that I came up with the King of Wands because this has been my reality for the last several months. I’ve been in a state of flow where I’ve been working to create a plan of execution for the vision I have for my future. While it never feels easy for me, I keep seeing that I am a natural leader and the creator of my path in life and this is what I need to hold onto moving into 2021. Where my health is concerned, I am seeing that, especially where my mental health is concerned, it can only go up from here because I am coming new and fresh. I’ve been through some tough changes and I know I can better navigate what comes next because I have been through the tough stuff already. The best part about this is that I am creating room for positivity and light to come in and it can be shared with others around me. The other side of this is that I need to acknowledge that there have been worries and stressors in my life as well, especially where my family is concerned. In mid-November, my father had to be tested for Covid for his job and this was the cause of some stress for me. I tend to overthink things whenever I’m in an anxious state and it gets me into a feedback loop that can be hard to break myself out of. I am especially grateful that he tested negative, but it was a struggle not to worry. I had to find a balance between being strong and feeling low and it was hard.

In terms of money and my career, I have hit a point of healing and release from what was bothering me before. Before starting Lune Rouge, I had been working a retail job at an indie bookstore and it was a lovely experience, but I wasn’t being energetically fulfilled at the time. I eventually quit that job and was kind of floating in the mire of my emotions before starting this. Now I have come full circle with who I am, what my purpose is in this life, and what I know will benefit myself and others. I’m better aligned with the things I want to do in my life. This isn’t to say that I don’t have obligations and duties where this is concerned. Being self-employed and running a business on my own is difficult and it can be tough, but these duties are ones I am truly happy to have in my life right now, if only for the sole reason that I’m getting to show the world my true colors. While this has led me to put other things on the back burner for now, I am reaping the rewards of my hard work and dedication.

Looking ahead, on things, I am going to need to hold onto the fact that I have what it takes to make my future come to pass the way I’m hoping for. I am learning to balance my priorities and work life with the things I do privately and for my pleasure. I already have what I need to make things happen in my life and I am starting to see the blessings come from this. While I’m not clear on where the path leads just yet, I do know that there is one ahead of me and I’m excited to see where it goes.
