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.

Work with Rubies, Sapphires, Emeralds, and Gold.

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.

Work with stone, granite, alabaster, marble, and haematite.

Mass global upheaval has meant many people have been going through shadow work processes since the end of 2019 / beginning of January, 2020. There is more to come in 2022 as we continue through the collective turbulence - which of course can bring us travelling through our personal turbulence - and it is so incredibly important to tune into the light (your light) and remember that you are love as we go through this process.

I don't really like the terms "shadow worker" and "light worker" because you really can't have one without the other, and I consider myself both. Going forward, and for 2022, I'll be holding "Connect to Your Light" sessions that specifically focus on helping you tap into your intuition (which is your own guiding light) so you can in turn connect to Source and Great Spirit, and to your spirit guides and angels. We won't be shying away from the dark in these sessions, but looking it in the face and finding a pathway through. (There is always a pathway.) These sessions - they might also be offered as workshops - are still forming in my mind, but will likely include essences, angelic connection / healing, and you doing a lot of the work rather than just receiving what is given, after all, the power is within you and no one else.

Do get in touch if you are interested in this process. Thank you. I'll leave you with the video below.

Stay bright,

​Dianna xx
​

Good lord, the reading for the week coming is incredibly intense and feels very painful. It is multi-layered, so I am going to do my best to break it down and apply it to both a personal situation, and a global situation (because as above, so below - what is reflected outwards and perceived, still comes from within).

I was very drawn to use The Haunted House Tarot deck again (so I should have known it would be a little dark, lol).

A huge, huge amount of shadow work and inner-child work in order to overcome current and past fears, are needed here.

The first card on the left is Judgement. Now, it could be that someone or many others have judged you harshly, but more so, I'm getting the strong sense you are judging yourself harshly - way, way too harshly. But the pain that you feel is real and likely rooted in an inner-child (childhood) hurt. A deep one. It could be that the child in the card is the woman's own daughter and she is having to rescue and protect her and get her out of harm's way (indicating you need to look out for a child or children, perhaps doing things against others' approval) but my immediate sense is telling me it is actually her own inner-child that she is rescuing. Meaning, of course, that you need to rescue your own self in some way.

The second card (3 of Swords) tells of an act of betrayal that slayed you, or something that hurt so deep nothing was ever the same again. Or perhaps, you are the one hurting yourself? Are you driving the stake through your own heart? Vampires are not living - do you need to end a part of you that is dead? That needs to be buried once and for all? Vampires are also parasites, feeding off the living. What is draining your energy completely? And do you need to slay it?

Sometimes, this card suggests that the intensity of your hurt feelings surrounding whatever this issue is, is overly-dramatic and a bit victim-like when it does not necessarily have to be. Even if something very bad actually happened - yes, feel the grief and anger - but do not keep repeatedly slaying yourself with grief and anger. Do not turn it all into, "I hurt over this; I hurt over this; I hurt over this" repeatedly for days on end. And even if the past inner-child hurt was very real and brutal, the pain and intensity belongs to then, not now, and there is a sense that you could be projecting that pain onto now and dramatizing the situation and/or your feelings surrounding it.

(Please note, the above is not meant to downplay trauma that needs professional counsel and healing.)

So, with those two cards alone, a huge amount of inner-work / shadow work / releasing fears and trauma is needed before you move on. The hurt feels fresh, so it could be something that happened very recently, but the root cause of the hurt that makes the current situation bloom feels very old.

Let's look at this last card, the Ace of Swords. I see this as a very powerful card, and certainly the Ace of Swords always throws up the core energy of power and control in your life. Who has the power and control over your life? Do you? Does someone else? Does an old memory or trauma have the power? Does the child in the woman's arms (first card) actually have the power and control? There are many questions to ask here. You can use a sword to protect yourself, or you can use a sword to wound yourself. You can use a sword to protect others, or you can use a sword to cut others down. The power to wield it is in your hands. The Ace of Swords always suggests you have more power than you think you do; that you are more powerful than you think you are. More questions: are you looking after yourself? Or are you neglecting yourself? Do you value yourself?

Looking at all three cards together, there is certainly a need to take your power back and wield it, and perhaps it's something you should have done a long time ago. Well, now is the time. Because the hurt feels so big you could drown in it. There is a lot of fear here around being judged and making the right decisions; there is a sense that you feel making the wrong decision could actually destroy the world or something. See? That is very dramatic and out-of-proportion unless you're actually James Bond. But if it is indeed how you feel, you really, really need to find emotional balance, especially if you do actually have important decisions to make. Do not let your fear - perhaps stemming from a past hurt/trauma - lead you down a path you don't want to go.

It is time to lay something to rest. It is time to let go. To allow something to die so that there can be a rebirth.

​Remember: the more challenging the cards, the more powerful the potential for total transformation (for the better).

On a more global level, the energies of next week are going to call into the fore all of the above for many people. There may be a sense of victimhood and power struggles within societies. A sense of being judged and judging others. People may feel slain by the control others have and forget that the power is actually in their own hands. But also, perhaps there is a deep societal need to finally bury a very, very old hurt or trauma that leeches energy from the present to keep the past alive.

I feel that very nurturing, heart-centred crystals are needed, like Rose Quartz, Blue Lace Agate, Green Moss Agate, Nzuri Moyo, Morganite, and so on.

This New Moon and Solar Eclipse brings the chance for deep transformative healing to take place within the self and within the environment around you.
