This 3-card reading shows the energy of this lunar cycle that is unfolding. Together they show a big picture of this lunar cycle’s theme – Miracles.
The key lesson we are moving through this lunar cycle is shown through the card The Moon – which is all about our feminine energy and intuition. Normally, I talk a lot about making space for our intuition to arise and allowing ourselves to express our feminine energy more. Certainly, this is still something we need to hold space for. However, the lesson here is more about when our feminine energy becomes unbalanced. What does that mean?
It is important to listen to our intuition and to feel our emotions. Our intuition is our soul’s way of communicating with us, and our emotions are invitations for us to delve deeper into exploring our inner landscape.
The balance of feminine energy comes with action, but they are different types of action when it comes to intuition and emotions. For intuition, it’s important to act on our soul’s guidance when we receive it. Sometimes we may hear our intuition as a repeating thought or idea popping into our head, but we don’t act on it because our mind brushes the thought off as non-productive, or it feels too difficult to follow through.
As for emotions, the key is to listen, to acknowledge, and to accept—but not to overreact based on how we feel. We may be feeling hurt, sad, angry, resentful, or jealous. And when we react from pain, we may say hurtful words, lash out, retaliate, or take actions that we later regret.
When it comes to our emotions, it’s best to give ourselves space to sit with them, allowing the energy of the emotion to move through us by feeling it and acknowledging it. Know that it is okay to not be okay. Sometimes we simply need time and quiet space to process emotions—through journaling, dancing, singing, or just crying it out. Sometimes we need to sit and practice forgiveness, without needing the other person to apologize.
When we are able to act on our intuition and listen to our emotions without overreacting, this is when we experience an awakening of the soul—shown by The Temple card. This card is about answering the call of our soul. And sometimes, answering our soul’s call requires us to step out of our comfort zone. Perhaps we are being called to finally speak our heart’s truth. Perhaps we are being called to let go of other people’s burdens and responsibilities. Perhaps we are being called to change.
When we encounter change—especially when it’s unexpected—it is only natural to feel resistance at first. Our brain is hardwired for what is familiar, because what is familiar feels safe (even though it may not actually be safe for us emotionally or physically).
Or, when we are the one initiating change, people around us may feel resistant to this new version of you. They are not familiar with the version of you who says no, who sets clearer boundaries, or who is no longer here to please others or meet expectations. Others may react in unpleasant ways, and we have absolutely no control over that. As Mel Robbins wrote in her book “The Let Them Theory”: just let them. Let them react however they want, and let you do what serves you best.
This does not come from a selfish or self-centered place. I’ve written in one of my previous blogs here about being nice versus being kind. When we are being nice to others, we may not be kind to ourselves—especially if we are sacrificing our own needs or silencing our truth out of fear of conflict. It’s important to remember to be kind to yourself first and foremost. When you are kind to yourself, sometimes it means saying no to others, and sometimes it means not playing “nice” according to other people’s expectations.
As we experience this deeper connection with our soul, the gift is shown in The Monkey card, which represents inspiration. This is when we begin to see miracles happening in our lives. When you live in alignment with your soul’s truth, you become an inspiration to others. At the same time, you will also feel inspired. This is a time of high creativity and joy.
And knowing that there is so much suffering and chaos in the world right now, we all need more joy in our lives. Joy is a superpower, as spiritual teacher Gabrielle Bernstein once said, because it creates a ripple effect in the world. When you smile at someone from your heart, naturally the other person feels the warmth and may smile back (and if they don’t—just let them).
I love the sacred self-care card for this lunar cycle: Alone Time. The end of the year is usually the busiest time, and it can feel difficult to carve out sacred solo time for yourself. But whether you are an introvert (like me, who craves solo time) or an extrovert, it is still essential to schedule time alone. This is not the same as scrolling on your phone, binge-watching Netflix, or drinking a whole bottle of wine.
This alone time is your sacred self-care time. What truly nourishes your soul? While it may be ideal to have a long stretch of solo time, maybe you can only carve out ten minutes—and that is okay. Do it anyway. We will always have an endless to-do list, especially at the end of the year. Put your solo time as the number one priority on your to-do list so it actually gets scheduled.
As John Bingham said, the miracle lies in getting started. Take one baby step forward to act on your intuition. Take one baby step backward to zoom out and see the bigger picture, listen to your emotions instead of reacting. Take one baby step to say no to what drains your energy, and say yes to being kind to yourself.

I choose to live in miracles.
I recognize that my interpretation of the cards is largely based on reflections of my personal life experience and you may or may not resonate with what I share. I find that sometimes by sharing what’s going on in my life, others may find that they are going through something similar in their lives. It’s important to know that you are not going through this journey of life alone.
I highly encourage you to look at the cards as well and feel into the messages and energies of the cards yourself.
Read the messages and notice what sensations come up. Do you feel light or tense? Look at the images of the cards, and notice what draws your gaze. What thoughts and feelings arise? Do you like or dislike the card, or certain elements in the image of the card? Why is that and what does it remind you of?
Your intuition is your inner compass. My oracle card reading only serves as a reference point, an invitation for you to reflect and ponder and to work your magic. I don’t claim to predict the future, nor can I do that. Take what you resonate and leave what you don’t.
Card reading is a great intuitive tool for us to find some clarity and guidance in our own life, but remember ultimately you are the one who get to decide and live the life you want.
Enjoy reading and feel free to let me know your thoughts, questions and sharing by email.
