Usually, the weekly card readings are posted on social media (the Facebook page, Facebook group, and on Instagram), in both written and video formats, but this week is a big week energetically, and a longer reading, so I am posting it here to the blog. This week's cards are: Page of Cups, reversed, 10 of Swords, reversed, The Magician, reversed, 4 of Swords, reversed, Knight of Wands, Judgement, and The World. (The deck is Shadowscapes Tarot, art by Stephanie Law.) This week begins with solstice (the sun at zero degrees Capricorn) on Monday, December 21st, and also Jupiter and Saturn coming together at zero degrees Aquarius for the Great Conjunction. Solstice marks the beginning of the solar cycle. It is the shortest day of the year and longest night (here in the northern hemisphere), and the time where we thank the darkness for its gifts, plant our seeds of intention for the coming solar cycle, and welcome the return of the light as the days begin now to get longer until June 21st. The Great Conjunction is when Jupiter and Saturn come together at the same degree of the zodiac, and occurs about every 19-20 years. So with this conjunction we are beginning a new 20 year cycle. But in addition, these two come together for about 200 years at a time in the same element of the zodiac, and this is the beginning of a new 200 year cycle as well, because for the past 200 years they have been coming together in earth signs, and now they are shifting to the coming 200 years of coming together every 20 years in air signs. This brings a larger "umbrella" energetic shift now from earth (possessions, tangibles, land) to air (ideas, communication, services). This week's cards are a continuation of the theme of the past few weeks - from the eclipse portal (November 30th to December 14th) onward, the weekly cards have been speaking to stepping out of the old and into the new, and consciously releasing what no longer resonates. We are, and have been in recent weeks, moving through a series of big energetic shifts that are breaking us out of the holding pattern we have been in for 2020. The cards this week reflect this. They speak to where we may be still releasing the past and therefore holding back fully and authentically expressing ourselves, and not moving forward on new ideas just yet, and the discomfort being in that in-between might bring. And they also speak to being able to move forward swiftly once we are fully connected to our passion and true heart's desire. The last two cards are especially telling. The second to the last card, Judgement, tells us of dying to the old consciousness and being reborn to a new, higher consciousness - an awakening or rebirth. The World, the final card, is the last card of the major arcana, signaling a completion or coming full circle, and also it is a card of Saturn - a card of mastery and stepping into our authority. These two cards reflect the energy of the Great Conjunction as Saturn and Jupiter, the old god and the young god, the time-tested traditions and new ways, come together in the air sign Aquarius for an innovative new beginning.
