As we approach the end of 2024, it’s a perfect time to pause, reflect, and prepare ourselves energetically for the year ahead. The turning of the calendar year invites us to release what no longer serves, refocus our intentions, and make space for the new. While the challenges of the past year may still be present, we have the power to shift our own energy and step into 2025 with clarity and purpose.

This 7-card spread is designed to help you reflect, release, and align with the energies that will support you in the coming year. Use your favourite card decks and set aside some quiet time to connect with your inner guidance. For this spread, I’m using the Inner Star Oracle Deck and The Wild Unknown Animal Spirit Deck.

Take a few deep breaths, ground yourself, and shuffle your cards. As you do, ask the following questions, one for each card:

New Moon in Taurus is here and she’s got a strong message for us. The energy this Taurus moon emits is all about looking after YOU. If you are feeling the urge to not listen to others, to shut down, or escape for some solitude, then this is New Moon Taurus guiding you. Use this energy wisely to set up a new ritual that will see you manifesting something dear to your heart. This is an important time of year to really listen to YOU. To stop doing so much for others and start creating for you.

The New Moon Spread is ideal for this. 

To enhance the power of this spread and to ground the new intentions we have some powerful ritual tools for you.

1 / Nettle Tea

Used in ancient times as a powerful herb to help women maintain clarity and to balance hormones as it helps to process estrogen. Drink this tea as part of your New Moon ritual and each day thereafter as a physical reminder of the intention you have set yourself. This tea will help keep your mind clear, allowing you to focus on what is important to you. For ritual purposes use a special cup and teapot (if using loose leaves). Use these always from hereafter with intent. By incorporating symbolic items into your spiritual practice, you will have constant beautiful reminders around you to become present and re-focus on your heart’s desire.

2 / Light incense or burn a candle

The more physical tools you incorporate into your card spreads, the more grounded your intentions become in your everyday reality. Candles and incense are a perfect tool for this and help stimulate and awaken other senses, bringing them also into the present moment. 

3 / Pick a flower

Before you commence your spread, go into the garden and select a piece of nature. This will help connect you to her power and invite her into your sacred session. She will then become part of your intention and offer you signs wherever you go.

4 / Keep your spiritual journal handy always

As you wander through the garden for your special spread flower and make your tea, you are already starting the process of connecting with your inner self. That’s what ritual invokes. You may already during this time start to have visions, insights, or a clearer idea of what needs to be addressed. It’s important to write these down as they hold powerful answers for you. After completing your spread, write down any revelations you may have to ground them into this reality. 

Now you’re set to do your spread. May this new moon bring you many blessings.

Inspiration is all around but unavailable to us if we are out of alignment. Our inner oracle can call us but if we are feeling negative emotions, we can’t hear our own guidance. This spread will offer you a path back to inspiration anytime you need it.

You don’t need to have a clear project or intention for this spread to activate your inner inspiration. Breathe into this moment and allow the cards to unfold. Be alert for any inner voices, feelings, or visions that happen during this spread. Write them down in your spiritual journal, that is your inner oracle calling.

This week’s full moon in Scorpio is loaded with the energy of transformation and rebirth. This energy can see us being drawn to our deep and intense passions given the strong sexual energy of Scorpio. Energy such as Scorpio is the perfect time to reflect on your last month and start envisioning your next month ahead.

Assessing means addressing!

Yep, all those emotions we have been avoiding need acknowledgment. It’s the only way they can transform and rebirth into the life of our dreams. Unacknowledged emotions have you acting like a dog chasing its tail. You know the feeling. The question(s); why am I still here? how did I let that happen again?, why am I still doing that?! These all stem from unacknowledged emotions, and will see you always going in circles, or creating repeat patterns of behaviour and outcomes. Use the passion and sexual creativity of the full moon in Scorpio to finally call BS on yourself and harness the power of your passions.

Who’s your mumma?

Change happens slowly, daily, patiently, and like a loving mother, your oracle cards sit alongside you and offer support. The mumma to your inner child. A voice of calm and clarity during the ebb and flow of daily hustle. Oracle cards work best when used daily. Either as a single card for their guidance and mantra or as a spread for the week that you can reflect on daily. By connecting with them daily, even for a quick shuffle, they become part of us, an extension of our intuitive nature.

Combining the energy of the stars with your oracle deck creates powerful shifts in your energy that flow into your life. Full moon energies affect us all and increase the emotions we have activated at the time. It’s why the full moon has always been associated with people going crazy. The word lunatic derives from this belief with luna representing the moon. Our bodies are 75% water and the moon affects water. Our oceans move according to the position of the moon. All water on earth is affected, and so are we.

Becoming aware of your emotions is the first place to create transformation, and this is where your oracle cards can help. They are a guide, a telephone line to YOU. The real you, the pure you who loves and flows with all. Creating rituals for yourself around the use of your cards increases your connection and intuition. For ideas on spreads click here.

Tips for Full Moon Transformations

1 / Become aware of emotions you have been neglecting – the ones with passion and the ones with poison,

2 / Write a list of what makes you feel passion, acknowledge and honour these ideas or activities,

3 / Create a ritual for the month ahead using your oracle cards,

4 / Write a mantra for yourself based on one of your unfulfilled passions.

Make the full moon in Scorpio your time for transformation and rebirth. Move beyond your current every day into the realm of endless possibilities.

Oracle cards have been around for eons. They are often layered with symbolism and act as a doorway into our inner psyche and the realm of spirit. There is no right or wrong way to use them and it is encouraged that you create your own purpose for them as they are a great tool for discovering your intuition.

You will often see oracle card spreads. These are very similar to those you see for tarot cards and offer a structured approach to their use. Although there are lots of spreads to select from, sometimes we stumble upon one that feels just right, or just right for that time.

How else can oracle cards be used?

Beyond a basic card spread, oracle cards can become part of your language with your spirit guides. By incorporating them into your daily rituals, you will be amazed at how powerful they become. Here are five (5) creative ways to use your oracle card deck.

Daily meditation

Select a card for the day. Meditate on the symbol while repeating the card mantra. This is a powerful way to create transformation in your life. You can use the same card for a week, or select a new card each day. Take a photo of the card and carry it with you. Or pop it in your bag and look at it every hour and repeat your mantra. Breathe into the moment and card vibration. Watch how quickly your life will change.

Questions answered

If you find yourself at a fork in the road, or need instant guidance on a difficult situation, then pick a card. Trust that this card and the message it holds will give you clarity and help you make a decision. Write down any feelings, visions or words that may appear. This will offer you more understanding of the card’s meaning to you.

Past, present, future.

This quick three-card spread helps you realign with your purpose. It reaffirms who you are today, as you are able to reflect on the changes you have made in the past. You can ask for clarity about the last year or the last week.

Sacred altar

Do you have an altar? A special place in your home that you adorn with magical pieces. These pieces usually have special meaning to you. The idea of an altar is to offer you a place to surrender and connect with your inner being.  You can have it in a cupboard, or you can have it on display. A key component to an altar is ritual. Daily use and interaction. Oracle cards can become part of your altar. Select a card that will help you achieve your purpose. Place this card on your altar and incorporate it into your daily ritual. This could include; mediation, lighting a candle, prayer, journaling or mantra.

Mantra magic

Need a pick-me-up? Some mornings can be hard to get motivated. A quick pick-me-up can be achieved through the use of a mantra. Select a card at random and use the mantra on the card as a boost for the day. No intention needed. Take a photo of your mantra and repeat it throughout the day to connect and ignite your energy.

Oracle cards work best as part of daily meditation and ritual. The more you use them, the easier they are to understand. They also become touched by your vibration each time you use them, creating a direct link connecting you with spirit.

A full moon spread to recharge your intentions and enhance your manifestations.

The full moon is a shining light that reflects back to us our true self. Keeping a nightly watch of the moon and her cycles helps us become more aware of our own radiant light.

Use this spread and this full moon to remove blockages and manifest with clarity.
