Significator: King of Cups. This reading focuses on emotional maturity, empathy, and a gentle, fatherly kindness that lifts up the hurt, cares for the community, and fosters love. The following cards should be taken with this in mind.

Mind: Five of Pentacles. You’ve been struggling. Maybe you feel like you’ve been in a brain fog, or like life distractions keep you from really reaching the potential you know you’re capable of. Keep pushing forward and reaching out; the clarity and success you’re looking for is so close.

Body: Page of Cups. You’re experiencing an artistic–maybe romantic–renaissance, with delight in putting your hands to new creative work. You may find yourself dancing in the sunlight for the joy of it, or writing poetry because it’s on the tip of your tongue. Keep a close eye on how your emotions make you act, though; you’re feeling things very deeply, and that can include sorrow and anger.

Spirit: Ace of Pentacles. This is a time of great abundance in your spiritual work; you’re starting a new chapter, and the huge potential of what you can accomplish is in your hands. Really think on what spiritual abundance means to you, and take the first steps on your path to making it a reality.

Mind: Three of Wands. The Three of Wands is a rather optimistic card. It tells you that you’ve built up to where you are a little at a time, and you’re already at new heights you haven’t seen before–but wait, there’s more! All that hard work and self discipline is paying off in a big way. Your mind is clearer, sharper, more ready for the tasks at hand, and there are big rewards for those tasks on their way to you. Just wait. It’s coming.

Body: XI Justice. Justice is about balance, and it teaches us that not only should we try to aim for balance in our lives, but that excess has consequences. I know it’s the holidays, and it’s easy to luxuriate in the abundant treats of many kinds, but your body keeps the score. Don’t overindulge unless you want the scales to balance out on the other side. Just one more cookie, or more dangerously, just one more drink can turn into a lot more. Try to live with moderation in all things, and you should be okay.

Spirit: Six of Cups, reversed. Are you feeling bogged down in the worldly problems of adulthood? This can be a joyful time of year, but it can also be exceptionally difficult, too. Emotions, bills, family, and more can suck the happiness right out of you. Take some time to figure out what’s blocking the pure childlike joy you carry within you. It’s still there. Those obstacles will still be there tomorrow; maybe give yourself the space to let the adult you remember your inner sense of wonder.
