There is a sense, next week, that you may have to be careful not to make a decision you may regret. Or perhaps the decision you regret has already been made and you are now coming to realise that and have to deal with the consequences. You cannot blame yourself for what you did not see.

The first card, The High Priest in this deck (The Magician in others), cautions that trickery and deception was afoot - maybe even self-deception - and this week you realise you did not know yourself or a situation as well as you'd thought. Whatever the situation, there is a need to be cautious and know yourself and what you want very well indeed, so you can make the right decisions going forward.

The Five of Cups is clear enough: regret rears its head. And it may feel quite cutting (or binding). Again, I am getting a sense of self-blame here, as if, with hindsight, you are kicking yourself because you should have known; you should have looked into things more carefully; you should have researched the situation (etc, etc). But you didn't. And this is leading to quite a bit of inner-misery. As is always the case with the Five of Cups, while it could be better, it's not quite as bad as you feel it is, so take a deep breath, acknowledge your feelings, and try not to wallow, but move on.

The 7 of Discs tells that time is needed and only time will heal wounds. But also, that care and patience is needed. Do not make further decisions if you feel vulnerable - it's all right to stop for a while; take a break. Throw off any outside influences pressuring you to make a choice and stand firm - remember, The High Priest asks that you know yourself and the situation properly before moving forward.

There is an indication that something you have invested in - or are about to invest in - is not as secure as it seems. So, trust fully your intuition first of all; secondly of all, research the issue. Do not cut corners - the 7 of Discs says care must be taken and you must do things properly; absolutely no cutting corners for a quick-fix. Burying your head in the sand and pretending the problem will go away, will also not work. You've got to face this head on and take the time needed to do so properly.

On the up side, all three cards do suggest that you can still turn things around, although it may take time and healing. The Magician is intelligent and capable; three cups are still standing; and 7 of Discs is about knowing the situation and how to digest the dark bits so you can grow stronger through this. (And if you action the needed prudence next week, the outcome may not be that bad in the end.)

Rose Quartz and Nzuri Moyo will help with healing and feelings of regret; Smoky Quartz and Blue Topaz can help with clarity and expression of thoughts.

A new way of doing something is forecast for next week. A new thought form or mental pattern - a new step to your life that has an air of strength and permanence about it. Perhaps it's inspired or triggered by someone wise, who is stable in their own approach to things; or perhaps it's inspired by a long-established organisation or some kind of financial or material-world event that propels things forward. It may have something to do with the permanence of your financial investments - where you put it; what you spend it on.

It does not feel like you are alone in this new quest, either, but that perhaps a group of you will go forward in this "new" way of doing something. It is as if new boundaries and individual strengths are established before going forward with something together. It feels good. The key here, is to make sure you are valued for what you bring to the group, and that others all feel their value. You are all individuals, but also a team if you decide to work together. The onus is on the "i" though - what the individual brings to the team - so make sure you have your fair and equal input. If you do not, independence may be the way forward.

Once the plan is established, the advice here is to take off with it. No need to hold back, but go forth in the spirit of action and making whatever it is happen. The week might move fast, but you are well equipped to deal with it and have all the foundational things in place. So don't be afraid of the new, but boldly go forth where you have not been before. This may involve going on new travels and adventures ... to a distance away from where you have been before. It's all good. Go for it.

Dragonstone, Bloodstone, Garnet, and Carnelian can all help with grounding fiery, motivational, individualised energy, into practical tasks and actions that take everyone forward in the best direction possible.

Happy New Year! I'd like to kick off with a few more thoughts on the New Moon Reading I did yesterday. You can see it here. It was a beautiful reading that gave a very positive vibe for the year ahead if you are able to tap into the energies the cards portrayed; if you can hold that mindset. It doesn't signify that everything, all of the year, is going to be easy, but that if you consistently ask yourself if you are following your heart and doing what is true to it, and you connect your heart and life with your "tribe" (village / community / those you want to see the future through with), it will lead you well this year. So, do keep checking in that all is well with your heart every month, and make sure you do not get dragged or coerced away from its vision. This message is for all of mankind - it is what you can do to stay in a nice, high resonance, and will lead to an easier year for you, overall.

Here is the weekly guidance for next week, which focuses much more on the daily activities specifically for the people reading it:

Selenite is great for communicating with others and fostering "trust" in the new, as is Angelite. New Jade is also great for inspiring a fresh look at things and seeing those opportunities.

Merry Christmas, everyone! Next week's reading is so interesting. I'm going to read the cards very intuitively:

In the Queen of Swords and King of Cups, you've got a powerhouse couple. I feel this is an actual couple that the cards are describing. She's quick-witted, speaks her truth, can be blunt, may be a little emotionally detached, but is steadfast, loyal, and true. He's deeply emotional, and empathic - even psychic - is a good counsellor and always takes others' feelings into account, and might be feeling particularly sensitive at this time of the year. 

I do not do reversed card readings as a general rule, so when one turns up reversed by accident, I pay attention and read it as such. The Nine of Cups suggests that things might not go quite as planned for this notable couple from Monday next week. Wishes might not be fulfilled and plans may have to be changed. However, this is a powerhouse couple who make their own rules and live life to their own script, so this may not altogether be a bad thing. The King of Cups who is facing the problem of the tipped over cups might feel most let down by whatever takes place. The Queen of Swords is looking away from the tipped cups with a knowing look as if she already knew the score.

The trick here - if this couple is you - is to accept whatever takes place in your total truth and with compassion. Be humble. Step back if you need to. Utilise the best qualities of the King and Queen depicted here and lead with your hearts, the power you have, and think outside the box.

The figure in the Nine of Cups looks like a chef, or innkeeper, or someone along those lines, so there is an additional suggestion that basic amenities (like food or housing) might have to be catered for some other way if things do not go to plan next week. Celebrations may be halted, or changed. It's okay. Expect disruption to plans, but make the most of your abundance and everything you already have around you. Be kind, be humble, be wise, and you will still have a week fit for royalty.

The Winter Solstice and Yule are upon us! Hasn't this year just sped by? This week's reading looks at the predominant daily energies and probabilities of the week ahead.

To clarify, when I do these readings, I specifically ask Spirit that they help, in a positive way, those who read them. To conduct readings in this manner where many people see them, sometimes, Spirit will, or may, focus on the strongest needs that are displayed by the audience. For example, if 30 people read it, but 6 of those people are in great need of healing from grief or panic (and perhaps have even asked for guidance), they will hone in on the 6. If no strong need dominates, they will give a more generalised pattern of the week ahead. This is simply the nature of online readings such as these. For specific readings that are just for you, please consider booking in for a consultation.

The week ahead will involve some strategic thinking and planning, and seeing things from more than one angle. Decisions will be made and they might not be easy ones, but these decisions will actually cement the beginning of a path you will take - a journey you will make. It is unlikely that you will make this decision(s) lightly - you have a sense that it will set a marker and solidify your course for the future. So, you know you have to be sure about the path you want to take.

Assuming you make the decision you are happiest and most comfortable with, off you go on your path. A new project or way of life awaits. A new phase begins. "Home" or somewhere you can create harmony and feel at peace will be very important, and perhaps even essential for the new way forward. There may be a twinge of sadness about letting go of something in order to move forward, but now, more than before, you can feel the surety of your decision, so any sorrow is less than before. Instead, what you know you want is manifesting (or you know you need to make it reality).

Considering the feelings of others is as important as ever, but something has changed recently, and now, you also feel the deep responsibility and importance of considering your own part in all things and in the future that is unfolding. So, if you have discounted your own feelings for the sake of others, while you are still sympathetic about the plight of others, you know that to create your world as you envision it, and the right future for your loved ones, you must follow your own heart and be true to you. The solidity and surety of this feeling is finally there. It is a little bittersweet, but it is also beautiful, and some part of you knows everything is going to be all right now - because you are more whole in yourself.

This makes for a beautiful Christmas period. Enjoy the beginning of your new foundation. You deserve it.

Treat yourself. Find yourself a new stone to symbolise your new beginning and new-found certainty.

Here, Dianna looks at the energetic waves for the Full Moon, the Winter Solstice, and 2022. While there are definitely challenges ahead, we have everything we need to ride the storms of the earth shift we are currently in. It's about tapping into your creator energy - your humanness - and not being afraid to use that power to un-weave all the dark threads of society.

There are all kinds of planetary alignments currently taking place that are creating portals for clearing the crown chakra, triggering new vision, and healing or rebalancing karmic or ancestral ties. It's a very intense energy and - if you can tap into it - deep. It's deep. It's taking place on quite a higher dimensional level. Be mindful of symbols and "coincidences" in your life - they are trying to communicate something to you - as well as any messages via your dreams. You don't need to dwell on them, just be mindful. These breadcrumbs may well be useful in the future.

Let's get straight to the reading for next week:

Life might throw you a bit of a curveball next week - something out-of-the-blue might take place. The way forward is to take hold of that assertive, rebellious energy and stick to your guns. While it is not advised that you charge forward impetuously and without thought, thinking on your feet is a must, and you may have to make decisions about things quickly. While there is a potential for chaos, holding your centre and your certainly will ensure you don't get caught up in it, but ride it instead. And ride it to a victorious conclusion, too, if the Six of Wands is anything to go by.

The Six of Wands denotes victory and recognition for your efforts. Even fame. You are called to be a leader and inspire others where you can. Being the leader in the midst of whatever happens next week is well fortuned, and you may find yourself in that role either by choice or because you have been put there by circumstance. Don't be afraid of it - step into it. That's a very clear message.

The King of Pentacles seems to confirm the victorious energy of the Six of Wands. He brings with him the potential for good, strong foundations, financial stability, and abundance and gain, so it could be that however tumultuous initial events might be next week, the outcome is the gaining of some kind of surety and stability you didn't have in the same way before. Again, the key is in stepping into your leadership role - you have it in you - and be unfaltering in its execution.
