Daily Reading for Monday, December 11, 2023

Card: Wheel of Fortune (Reversed)

Moon: 2% Waning Crescent

Astrological Sun Sign: Sagittarius (November 22-December 21) “The Archer”

Crystals: Black Tourmaline and Hematite (Grounding Energy and Protection)

Essential Oils: Rosemary and Lemon (Promotes Clarity, Positivity, and Adaptability During Uncertain Times)

Today’s Number: 12 (Balance, Harmony, and Cooperation)

Anytime a Major Arcana card reveals itself, its meaning is significant and profoundly symbolic. Unlike the Minor Arcana, which reveals things in your day-to-day life, the Major cards are associated with significant life transitions, inner growth, and deeper spiritual insights.

The Wheel of Fortune Reversed is not a favorite card by many because it suggests a temporary setback or a period of bad luck. This card can indicate delays, unexpected changes, or feelings that things are not going your way.

The bright side is that we know there will be turbulence ahead; therefore, we can buckle up and ride out the bumps ahead. We know to care for ourselves in the meantime. Meditate. Say a Mantra. Reach for the Rosemary and Lemon. Carry Hematite or Black Tourmaline and use it as a Worry Stone. Make some time for yourself. And know that you’ve got this!

This, too, shall pass.

Sending love and light. -Maggie

P.S. Here are some Mantras you may want to try.

“I embrace change as a constant flow in my life.”

“I find peace within, regardless of external circumstances.”

“I trust in the divine timing of the universe.”

“I am open to new opportunities and possibilities.”

“I release what no longer serves me and welcome what does.”

Daily Reading for Sunday, December 10, 2023

Card: 4 of Swords (Reversed)

Moon: 6% Waning Crescent

Astrological Sun Sign: Sagittarius (November 22-December 21) “The Archer”

Crystals: Amethyst and Selenite (Promotes Mental Clarity, Relaxation, and Spiritual Healing)

Essential Oils: Eucalyptus and Peppermint (Invigorates and Provides Mental Clarity When Emerging From Rest or Contemplation)

Today’s Number: 11 (A Master Number – Intuition, Spiritual Insight, and Enlightenment)

The 4 of Swords reveals itself again, but this time, it is reversed. The 4 of Swords Reversed tells us it is time to come out of a period of rest or withdrawal. You may feel restless or eager to move on with your life now that you’ve had time to recuperate and reflect. Remember, there may be some unresolved issues you have been avoiding. Maybe there’s a challenge you’ve been sidestepping. Now is the time to face those issues head-on.

Sending you encouragement on your journey. -Maggie

Daily Reading for December 9, 2023

Daily Reading for Saturday, December 9, 2023

Card: Ace of Pentacles (Upright)

Moon: 10% Waning Crescent

Astrological Sun Sign: Sagittarius (November 22-December 21) “The Archer”

Crystals: Citrine and Green Aventurine (Wealth, Success, & Good Fortune)

Essential Oils: Patchouli and Vetiver (Grounding, Connecting to Material Realm, Promoting Abundance and Stability)

Today’s Number: 1 (New Beginnings, Leadership, and Spiritual Healing)

The Ace, or the first card in the deck, indicates the beginning, and the Pentacle usually indicates the material world or the practical side of life. So, it’s no surprise that the Ace of Pentacles means new opportunities, financial stability, and material abundance. Today’s number is also 1, meaning new beginnings, leadership, and spiritual healing.

May your day be filled with abundance, dear one. -Maggie

Daily Reading for December 8, 2023

Daily Reading for Friday, December 8, 2023

Card: Temperance (Upright)

Moon: 17% Waning Crescent

Astrological Sun Sign: Sagittarius (November 22-December 21) “The Archer”

Crystals: Rainbow Fluorite, Clear Quartz, and Moonstone

Essential Oils: Rose and Chamomile

Today’s Number: 9 (Compassion, Humanitarianism, and Completion)

Today’s card is Temperance, the 15th card in the Major Arcana, guiding us to seek balance, harmony, and moderation. In Numerology, the number 15 reduces to 6 (1+5=6). Interestingly, in Dante’s Inferno, the 6th Deadly Sin is Gluttony. Unlike the historical Temperance movement that advocated total abstinence, the Temperance tarot card reminds us that it’s acceptable to enjoy life in moderation. As we head into the weekend, remember to have fun while finding that sweet spot between restraint and excess.

Take care, dear ones. -Maggie

P.S. If you are curious about where I get the daily number, I get it from the day’s date. To calculate the numerology number for today’s date, you add up all the digits:

1 + 2 + 0 + 8 + 2 + 0 + 2 + 3 = 18

Now, you can further reduce it to a single-digit number by adding the digits of 18:

1 + 8 = 9

So, the numerology number for December 8, 2023, is 9.

Reading for Thursday, December 7, 2023

Card: Queen of Swords (Upright)

Moon: 26% Waning Crescent

Astrological Sun Sign: Sagittarius (November 22-December 21) “The Archer”

Crystals: Amethyst, Selenite, and Blue Lace Agate

Essential Oils: Lavender and Eucalyptus

Today’s Number: 8 (Success, Abundance, and Balance)

Hello, dear ones. The fog of the past week seems to have lifted, with the Queen of Swords Upright leading the charge to clarity, intellect, and independence. The Queens are some of my favorites in Tarot. The strength and softness of today’s Queen draws me in and makes me linger on the imagery. She sits proudly on her throne with a gold crown on her head, a sword by her side, and flowers at her feet. With her wing outstretched, the Queen beckons us to join her on our terms. A crow flies freely in the skies above, and a cherry tree bourgeons with life.

To boost your mental clarity and focus, reach for Lavender and Eucalyptus. Amethyst aids wisdom and intuition, whereas selenite is known for mental clarity and purification. Blue Lace Agate soothes the soul, allowing clear communication and calmness.

May your day be clear and bright. -Maggie

Daily Reading for December 6, 2023

Daily Reading for Tuesday, December 6, 2023

Card: The Moon (Reversed)

Moon: 35% Waning Cresent

Astrological Sun Sign: Sagittarius (November 22-December 21) “The Archer”

Crystals: Moonstone, Labradorite, Selenite

Essential Oils: Lavender, Clary Sage, Frankincense

Today’s Number: 7 (Introspection, Spiritual Awakening, and Seeking Wisdom)

Friends, I cannot help but laugh at the fact I pulled yesterday’s card, The Moon, in reverse today. When writing my summary yesterday, I started to use Yin and Yang as an allegory to explain that there is a give and take in the universe; however, it didn’t quite fit. My intuition told me to wait, and I am glad I did.

Yang represents light, clarity, action, and the conscious mind. It’s a day of clear understanding, direct action, and a strong connection to external, visible energies. Yesterday’s card was in a Yang position, Upright.

Today’s card represents the Yin aspect, Reversed. Yin embodies the qualities of darkness, mystery, intuition, and the subconscious. It’s a day of introspection, inner exploration, and a deeper connection to hidden, unseen energies.

The Moon Reversed signifies a transition from uncertainty to enlightenment by overcoming confusion or deception and grants a better understanding of your emotions and intuition. There is an idiom that states, “the darkest hour is just before the dawn.” Today, the Moon reflects light onto that which was previously unseen.

Go forth in light and love, dear ones. -Maggie

Crystals like Moonstone, Labradorite, and Selenite can enhance intuition, psychic abilities, and emotional balance.

Lavender, Frankincense, and Clary Sage promote relaxation, clarity, and a deeper connection with your inner self.

Daily Reading for Tuesday, December 5, 2023

Card: The Moon (Upright)

Moon: 45% Waning Cresent

Astrological Sun Sign: Sagittarius (November 22-December 21) “The Archer”

Crystals: Moonstone, Labradorite, Selenite

Essential Oils: Lavender, Clary Sage, Frankincense

Today’s Number: 6 (Balance, Harmony, and Responsibility)

Yesterday’s barrier to intuition seems to have waned, as the Moon (Upright) symbolizes illusion and intuition. As you go through your day, you’ll have to rely more on your intuition, as things may not appear entirely as they appear. You must rely on your intuition to navigate through confusion and ambiguity.

Crystals:

Moonstone: Enhances intuition and promotes emotional balance.

Labradorite: Supports transformation and imparts strength during times of change.

Selenite: Provides clarity of mind and accesses higher guidance.

Essential Oils:

Lavender: Aids in calming the mind and balancing emotions.

Clary Sage: Enhances intuition and inner vision.

Daily Reading for Monday, December 4, 2023

Card: The High Priestess (Reverse)

Moon: Last Quarter – Half Moon (Reflection, Wrapping Up Projects, & Preparation for the New Lunar Cycle’s New Moon)

Astrological Sun Sign: Sagittarius (November 22-December 21) “The Archer”

Crystals: Amethyst, Lapis Lazuli, Moonstone

Essential Oils: Clary Sage, Sandalwood, Frankincense

Today’s Number: 5 (Change, Freedom, Adventure)

Have you ever had a scenario that played out, and in its wake, you felt like you should have seen it coming from a mile away? At that moment, if you had a tarot deck at the ready, you’d most likely have pulled the High Priestess Reversed. This card speaks to blocked intuition, hidden agendas, and a need to listen to one’s inner voice. You may also refuse to look beyond the obvious. Is there a secret in the wing? Is there more to the story? Most likely.

If you have blocked intuition, I recommend reaching for the crystals and essential oils that speak the most to you. Amethyst is known for its calming and intuitive properties. Lapis Lazuli enhances honesty, wisdom, and connection. Moonstone nurtures emotional balance, wisdom, and inner truth.

Clary Sage enhances intuition and clarity while balancing emotions. Sandalwood is excellent for quieting the mind, grounding your body, and connecting with higher consciousness, especially during meditation. Lastly, Frankincense is known for its ability to deepen spiritual connection and enhance meditation, as it helps one access subconscious knowledge and wisdom.

Whether you reach for crystals, essential oils, or both, the theme that has been running since the start of December is to check in with yourself to see if what you see tracks who you are and what you believe. Shakespeare penned it well, “To thine own self be true.”

Sending you light and love. -Maggie

Daily Reading for Sunday, December 3, 2023

Card: Knight of Wands (Reversed)

Moon: 65% Waning Gibbous

Crystals: Black Tourmaline, Red Jasper, Tiger’s Eye

Essential Oil: Vetiver

Today’s Number: 4 (Stability, Structure, and Strong Foundation)

Clearly, the Knight of Wands had more to say, regardless of my dutiful shuffling of the Cards. The Knight of Wands Reversed tells us to take seriously the warnings of the past few days. This card suggests there is a lack of purpose, impatience, and hasty decisions leading to problems or setbacks.

As you go through your day, remember not to act too quickly without thinking things through. Make sure to plan and consider your decisions. Instant gratification can lead to long-term regrets.

Be safe and wise, dear ones. -Maggie

Use Black Tourmaline for its grounding properties.

Red Jasper is a stone of endurance, nurturing, and steadiness.

Tiger’s Eye provides clarity and focus.

Vetiver is has grounding properties, especially when dealing with impulsive, restless, or unfocused energy.

Many reputable companies sell high-quality essential oils. If you are unsure where to go, here is a link to the oils I use and love: Doterra Essential Oils.
