This week’s card: Judgement.
We are in the last month of 2023, and we’ve got some busy planetary transits happening! Mercury moved into Capricorn on the 1st, Venus enters Scorpio on the 4th and Neptune goes direct in Pisces on the 6th. Collectively, we are being supported to begin mapping out the direction we want to take in 2024.
In numerology, 2024 adds up to an “eight” year. The number eight represents success in the physical world through self-mastery & acknowledgement of one’s divine sovereignty. Initiative, truth, leadership, harmony, balance, and faith are some keywords for number 8.
Judgement. Gabriel’s trumpet. Do you hear the call?
Judgement is one card away from the end of the major arcana. Its overall theme is transition and rebirth of the soul. It indicates the closing out of a cycle, a shift in perspective, or a significant life change. The question most often associated with this card is: Have you been upholding normalcy in an area of your life that needs to be revised, reconciled, or released? Often this card appears when we are on the cusp of change. Once begun, the process itself can be joyful or challenging depending on the situation. But ultimately, it serves the highest good for all involved.
Planetary support:
Neptune direct in Pisces enhances our connection to the ethereal realm. Pay attention to synchronicities and intuitive messages this week. The universe speaks in symbols, so be aware of your surroundings! Venus moved into Scorpio on Monday. She is quite intense here. Powerful and perceptive, she has no qualms of showing you the truth of what lies beneath. Expect the unexpected. Talk less, observe more. You will notice subtle shifts & nuances that provide valuable insights as well as an opportunity for growth and/or closure.
If you are ready to make a significant change, December may not be the best time to take the leap, unless a plan has already been in the works. Mercury is going retrograde on the 13th and will stay there until January 1st. We are in the shadow period now, so things can begin to get a little wonky if you try to push it. Something here needs more time. Put excess energy to good use by taking care of items on your to do list and spending extra time with pets, friends & loved ones.
There is a divine metamorphosis happening behind the scenes. Don’t be too hasty. Trust the process. Others may be on edge due to planetary shifts. Extend them grace while you stay calm and go with the flow this week.
