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

Note: this spread is taken from the Oracle of the 7 Energies guidebook. it’s called the Seven Energies Crescent

Alright friend, so as you may have noticed, I decided to try a spread from one of the decks I’ve recently acquired. It’s meant to be an indicator of the things you need to make forward progress. That is something I definitely want to lean into with this reading. I also want to clarify why it is we’re seeing with this reading. So, let’s get into some cards and see what we need to see shall we?

cards pulled from the Good Tarot

past: Hermit: taking a step away from society so you can rest and reset the light of your own truth, following your own path.

present moment: 3 of Earth (coins): working in a team to achieve a goal, balance, looking at traditional methods of doing things with new ideas

what is hidden: 2 of water (cups): the spark of a new and potentially long lasting love, blending, unionizing harmonizing

the obstacle: Patience (temperance): balance, moderation, in the flow of giving and receiving and being in calm control

the helpers: 4 of Earth (coins): open up and let go, you’re holding on too tightly and trying to make something happen quicker than the pace it needs.

action: King of Fire (wands): someone who is in mastery over their passions and inspirations and who can inspire others to do the same.

potential outcome Ace of Water (cups): a new opportunity comes in for emotional and spiritual growth, developing an understanding of one’s emotional depths.

Why are we seeing what we are seeing in this reading?

cards pulled from various decks

The Web Weaver: synchronicity, divine intelligence, cause and effect

The Dream Walker: dreams, the collective good, illusions

Lion: be generous of spirit

Stag: take take the lead

A burst of Magic: epiphanies, higher knowing, sense of purpose as a gift, knowing what calls you and inspires you to act according to your higher purpose

Time Machine: inherited patterns, conditioning, learned lessons, cellular memory, honoring the past without being trapped there

Balancing Act: you are calm within, no matter the fluctuation of outer conditions

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

Okay friend, what this reading shows me is that you have taken a step back so you can rest and relight your lamp. the time you have taken out for yourself has allowed you to figure out how to balance your ideas with those of others, gain mastery over the intensity of your passions, and let go of outcomes you thought you were going to gain. The outcome of this work is that there is likely to be new opportunities incoming for you, especially where spiritual and emotional growth is concerned.

so why are we seeing this right now? I believe we’re seeing this because there are inherited patterns of conditioning that you are still operating under. Perhaps these patterns are holding you aback from truly expressing yourself and taking the lead in your own life. The advice I’m seeing here is that letting go is the best thing you can do for yourself right now. Why? Because you’ll be free to express what it is you want for yourself, find the lessons you need to learn from your dreams, epiphanies and the synchronicities you find yourself experiencing, and a way to stay calm and balanced when things become challenging.
