The cards are late coming out. Sorry about that! It’s been a busy day.

The cards going into the new year jumped out of the deck while I was shuffling. I love it when that happens.

42 Detox & 34 Environment are what we’re looking at to see 2025 out and 2026 in, and just the initial impression appears spot on. Let’s face it, 2025 has been intense for a large number of people on so many levels. What better way to show it out than to clear our energy and release the residue of things or events which made this past year difficult. Release what no longer serves in order to move forward into the new year. Interestingly enough, in numerological terms we are seeing out a 9 year which signifies wrapping up a cycle and entering a 1 year which signifies a new beginning, taking forward with us the lessons we have learned and moving ahead. Moving upward, using the foundation which has been built is what it’s all about. Remember to give yourself permission to do this as gently as possible. There’s no need to power through the changes in a way which feels forceful.

As for the Environment card, it can absolutely mean travel or a move. On the other hand, it can be as simple as doing a little decorating and freshening up our living space, which will be perfect after getting through the detox part. The most important thing about this card is making our outer space a vibrational match to our inner state of being (which our detoxing is going to go a long way in raising). Making the internal and external worlds a match sets the stage perfectly to begin both the new year and a new 9 year cycle. The flow of these two cards is very harmonious and shows us the makings of a very positive week, year, and cycle ahead.

While the detox/purge/letting go portion of this week’s focus can be a little rough and it involves some level of processing where we’ve been during the past year, or perhaps several years (as we are ending a 9 year cycle). If there are losses which were important to you or perhaps major shifts in life, give yourself space to grieve what was lost, whether a life altering one, or a loss of how you thought that things were going to be. Let go, and be kind to yourself in the process. Once any dust settles from the release, begin making those changes to your inner and outer worlds. Make the most of it and prepare for a fresh start.

Wishing you all a very happy, healthy, and abundant new year ahead!

Winter Solstice

Today marks the Winter solstice here in the northern hemisphere. Even though my body finds the colder months to be not as friendly as it ages, I still look forward to this solstice each year. It’s the perfect time for introspection, as after the longest night of the year, there is a return of more light with each passing day. It marks new beginnings to come, and we are now in the getting ready phase.

The themes of introspection during the dark time of the year center around what we may need to heal, nurture, and release in order to make the most of the return to life which comes in the Spring. It’s a great time to set new things in motion, and examine the paths we are on. One of the hardest challenges we face when it comes to starting something new is in the letting go of what no longer works. It can feel soul wrenching to let go of something which once worked and no longer does, or maybe to have to let go of an illusion of what never truly worked in the first place (which can be one of the hardest things to acknowledge). Just remember that all has served a purpose in the deep learning we all undergo in order to reach higher levels in our being and happiness. The release of what is no longer working is what gives us room to become an even better version of ourselves.

No matter what type of changes enter our lives, intentional or circumstantial it can be difficult as we become comfortable, even when something isn’t working. So, take this dark time to go within. Meet the challenges of aligning with starting something new. It can be in one or several areas of life that one can see the need for either completely changing something, or finding a new approach. This deep, soul-level work is well worth it despite our natural inclination to resist change.

There’s no better time to find ourselves, make new discoveries, and put ourselves into alignment with our most authentic selves. This deep dive isn’t only about letting go, and the pain which can come along with it. It’s a great opportunity to tune in and listen to the clues we are always getting about the wonderful things we really want to do. It can be anything at all, as we are each on our own journey. Just be on the lookout for those clues that create the happy little hum you feel in your core, which tells you that you are on the right track, and plan to make those things happen!

Wishing you all a wonderful Winter Solstice, and many blessings as the light returns more with each passing day!
