Lesson #197: Nice things are not always a spiritual test. Sometimes life is just being kind.

There is a weird idea floating around that every good thing that shows up is some kind of exam. You get offered more money and immediately wonder what lesson is hiding in it. Someone treats you well, and you start waiting for the catch. You buy yourself something lovely and feel guilty unless you can frame it as manifesting evidence. Sometimes a nice thing is just a nice thing. Spirit does not only speak through struggle. It is completely capable of showing up as comfort, delight, beauty, and ease without a trapdoor underneath.

If you have spent years hustling, healing, or scraping by, receiving can feel suspicious. So when life hands you something soft, your first reaction is often to interrogate it. Is this aligned enough? Is this a distraction? Do I deserve this yet? Underneath all that is a simple fear that the good will disappear if you relax. But constantly checking the terms and conditions of every blessing does not keep you safer. It just stops you from actually enjoying what has arrived.

You are allowed to let some gifts land without turning them into a spreadsheet of karma. You can say yes to the upgrade, the free coffee, the compliment, and the easier option, and let it be a bit of relief in a life that has already asked a lot from you. Appreciation is powerful. So is allowing. Take the nice thing, breathe with it, and notice how your body feels when you let yourself experience a moment that is not a test, just a bit of uncomplicated good.

This spread is a full arc: action, self-worth, and then soft abundance.

𝟭. 𝗞𝗻𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗦𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗱𝘀
Your brain is already at the finish line, and the rest of you is jogging behind, going, 'Wait for me.' This is big, clean mental energy. Direct. Sharp. A little impatient. There is something in your world that needs a straight answer, not another round of overthinking, and this card says you are more ready than you feel.

You do not have to charge at everything that annoys you. You are allowed to choose your battles. But you are also allowed to name what is true. This is about clear words and honest moves. Say the thing that has been hovering at the edge of your tongue. Ask the question that gives you actual data instead of guessing in circles. Just keep your sword for cutting through fog, not people.

𝟮. 𝗡𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗣𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗰𝗹𝗲𝘀
Your spirit is gently pointing at everything you have already built and whispering, 'Look.' You have worked, stretched, and shown up. This card is that moment where you stand in the garden of your own life and realise some of the seeds actually took. Independence. Little comforts. Skills that did not exist a few years ago. It is not perfect, and it does not need to be.

The message here is simple. You are allowed to enjoy what is working without waiting for it to fall apart. Let yourself feel competent. Let yourself feel proud. If an opportunity arrives that recognises your value, believe it. You are not faking it. You have receipts. Reach for the version of your life where you are well supported and not constantly scrambling, because you are already closer than you think.

𝟯. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗘𝗺𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀
Soft power. That is the vibe. The Empress arrives when it is time to come back to your body, your creativity, and the parts of you that bloom when they feel adored rather than managed. This is not about productivity. It is about fertility in the broadest sense. Ideas, connections, projects, love. Something in your world wants to be nurtured, not rushed.

You are being asked to treat yourself the way you treat your favourite people. Feed yourself well. Sleep enough. Make something just because it feels good to make it. Notice who and what makes you sigh in relief and move closer to that. The more you honour your senses and your softness, the easier it becomes for abundance of all kinds to find you. You are not too much. You are lush on purpose.

Lesson #196: Not everyone gets the deep end of you. Share from choice, not guilt.

There is a quiet pressure to be fully known by everyone. Friends, colleagues, family, the internet. Share the whole story. Tell every detail. Let people into your softest rooms so they know you are real. But the truth is, your depth is not public property. Some people are only meant to meet you in the shallows, and that does not make you fake. It just means your spirit is learning who can breathe at the level you live at.

Notice how your body feels around different people. With some, you can name the very specific weird thought and they get it. With others, you keep it lighter and the conversation still has value. That is not dishonesty. That is emotional weather sense. Your intuition is allowed to say this person is kind but not for my underbelly or this one can sit with the bigger waves. You do not owe everyone your history, your trauma, or your private magic just because they are curious.

You are allowed to protect the deep end. To let a small circle see the full version of you and keep the rest of the world at a depth that feels kind but safe. Spirit is not asking you to rip your heart open on demand. It is asking you to honour the places that took years to grow. Share from choice, not from guilt. The ones who are meant for your depths will not demand access. They will earn it by how they hold what you give.

Dragonfae this week. Dark and dramatic. This week’s energy moves from sharp decisions to grounded confidence to soft receiving. Pick your card and see where you are in that story!

Normally today would be your Reading day, and do not worry, there will still be one this week; it is just arriving tomorrow instead.

While I have you, a tiny Christmas reminder. If you are stuck for a present and the shops are making you want to astral project out of your body, consider gifting a Remote Reading or a Tarot Party. It is something a bit different; it actually lands, and you are giving someone time with their own guides instead of more clutter.

You can gift a remote session for guidance in 2026, or gather a few favourite humans and book a tarot night to kick off the new year with some clarity. You support a local small business, they get insight and a good story for later, and everyone wins!

Lesson #195: You did not waste your time.

There is this cruel little voice that loves to show up after something ends and say, "Well, that was a waste." The job you left. The relationship that blew up. The course you never finished. The version of you that tried something and could not make it stick. It is so easy to look back with today's eyes and judge past you for not knowing what you know now. But you were not lazy or stupid or doomed. You were just a person trying something on to see if it fit. That is allowed.

If you are honest, some of the things you call wasted gave you pieces you still use. You learned how you like to be spoken to. How you do not want to work. How your body reacts when a room is wrong for you. You picked up skills, contacts, stories, and tiny clues. Even the mess taught you something. You would not be as clear as you are now without the chapters you are so quick to throw in the bin. Spirit is very economical. It will recycle almost anything into the next version of you.

So instead of saying "I wasted years on that!" say, "I stayed longer than I wish I had, and I still got something from it". Both can be true. You can grieve the time and still respect the you who kept going with the tools they had. You do not have to keep punishing yourself to prove you have learned the lesson. The proof is already in how you choose now. That is the only place your power actually lives.

Lesson #194: Not every feeling has to be homework. Ask if you need comfort or clarity first.

There is a point on the spiritual path where every emotion starts to feel like an assignment. You cry and go straight to what the lesson is. You get annoyed and think I should be more evolved than this. You enjoy something and immediately analyse your attachment style. It is a lot. Your soul did not come here to fill out an eternal worksheet. Sometimes a feeling is just a feeling that wants to move through your body without being turned into a TED talk.

Yes, reflection is useful, but if you grab every experience and rip it open for meaning on the spot, you get to rest. You end up spiritually microwaving everything. Some things need slow cooking. Some things do not need cooking at all. They just need a walk, a cry in the shower, a silly show, a hug, or a nap. Integration is not instant. You can know that a moment matters without forcing yourself to understand it right now.

Here is a gentler way of doing things. When something big rolls through, ask yourself one simple question first. "Do I need comfort or clarity?" Most of the time your body will vote for comfort. Warm drink. Fresh air. Someone who can listen without turning it into a project. Clarity can come later, when you are not in shock or flooded. Your guides are in no rush. They would much rather you feel held than feel clever. You are allowed to live the experience now and learn from it slowly, instead of auditioning to be the most conscious person in the room.

Ok here you go...

1. Truth
Truth shows up like that sharp breath when you realise you knew all along. The eagle on the branch has a higher view than the ground and that is the energy here. A situation, connection, or pattern is becoming impossible to ignore. The story you have been telling and the reality of how it feels are drifting apart.

This card calls for courage in perception first, action second. What is the fact of this, beneath hope, fear, and obligation? Once the truth is named, the next step often becomes very simple, even if it is not easy. Honest communication may be needed, with yourself or someone else. Remember that truth is not an attack. It is a clean line that lets every soul involved choose with full information.

2. Slow But Steady
This card is the gentle friend who takes the keys when you are about to floor it again. The path you are on is right; the pacing needs patience. Turtle energy says that small repeated steps are building something quietly powerful, even when progress looks boring or invisible.

There may be pressure to rush, to perform a leap so others believe in what you are doing. Slow But Steady suggests the opposite. Strengthen foundations. Honour rest as part of movement. Trust that mastery and healing both prefer a sustainable tempo. When doubt creeps in, look at the small consistencies, not the dramatic milestones. Over time they form a spiral that carries you a lot further than a frantic sprint ever could.

3. Letting Go
This card arrives when something has already outgrown its container. The release has begun in the background even if the mind is still arguing the case. Old stories, old roles, and even old versions of Self that once kept you safe are starting to feel heavy and strangely echoey.

Letting go here is less about dramatic endings and more about honesty. What are you still holding onto out of habit, fear, or nostalgia that no longer feels true in your body? Think of a tree that finally drops the last of its leaves so new growth has somewhere to break through. The grief is real and allowed, but so is the relief. Space is not a void in this card; it is an invitation.

Lesson #193: You're not the party healer. You can take the night off.

You know that thing where you go for a simple catch-up and somehow end up running an emotional workshop at the table. People slide their secrets across to you like tarot cards. You clock the energy in the room before you even sit down. You are scanning, soothing, translating, and holding the vibe together like it is your unpaid job. By the time you get home, you are wrecked, and everyone else is lighter. Familiar

Here is the truth. Just because you can read a room does not mean you are responsible for fixing it. Your sensitivity is a gift, but it is not community infrastructure. You are allowed to let a conversation be a bit awkward without rushing in to rescue it. You are allowed to let someone else be the supportive friend for once. You are even allowed to be the messy one who needs a debrief and a snack and a cry. Being intuitive does not cancel out your right to be human.

Next time you walk into a space, try this tiny reframe in your own mind. I am not the healer tonight; I am just a person here. Notice what softens when you let that be true. Maybe you answer in shorter sentences. Maybe you do not ask the extra question that opens a 40-minute trauma download. Maybe you leave when your body first gets tired instead of when everyone else is done with you. That is not you being cold. That is you giving your energy a night off so the rest of you can breathe.
