Card: 8 of Wands (Reversed)

Moon: 27% Waxing Crescent

Astrological Sun Sign: Sagittarius (November 22-December 21) “The Archer”

Crystals: Clear Quartz (Clarity and Focus) and Amethyst (Stress Relief and Intuition)

Essential Oils: Lavender and Clary Sage (Soothes Frustration and Anxiety)

Today’s Number: 8 (Balance, Abundance, and Power)

Daily Mantra: “I embrace patience and trust in the timing of my journey.”

In this fast-paced world, where everything seems to happen at the blink of an eye, the concept of waiting can indeed feel like an eternity. Yet, there’s profound wisdom and unexpected beauty in the art of patience, as eloquently captured by Amos Bronson Alcott: “Success is sweet and sweeter if long delayed and gotten through many struggles and defeats.”

As you encounter the 8 of Wands in its reversed form, it’s as if the universe is gently whispering to you, encouraging you to embrace this period of seeming stagnation, not as a setback, but as a valuable lesson in patience and trust. This card isn’t just about delays and frustration; it’s about preparing you for the sweetness of success that becomes all the more precious because of the wait and the challenges you’ve overcome to achieve it.

So, dear one, lean into this lesson. Allow yourself to find peace and understanding in the knowledge that what’s meant for you is making its way, albeit slowly. The reward at the end of this journey is waiting, and it promises to be even more rewarding because of this period of waiting and growth.

Sending you love and light on your path,
-Maggie

Card: Page of Cups (Reversed)

Moon: 18% Waxing Crescent

Astrological Sun Sign: Sagittarius (November 22-December 21) “The Archer”

Crystals: Rose Quartz (Emotional Healing), Amethyst (Spiritual Growth and Balance), and Moonstone (Intuition and Emotional Understanding)

Essential Oils: Lavender (Emotional Balance), Chamomile (Peace and Calming), and Ylang Ylang (Uplifting Mood)

Today’s Number: 8 (Abundance, Power, and Inner Strength)

Daily Mantra: “I embrace my emotions with understanding and grace, growing stronger in my emotional wisdom each day.”

Hey there, amazing person!

Adulting? Yeah, it’s like a rollercoaster – ups, downs, and loop-de-loops included. But remember, it’s those twists and turns that shape us. Sure, they can leave a mark, like a warrior’s battle scars. Sometimes, these emotional scars can pop up when we least expect them, like uninvited guests at a party.

So, here’s a heart-to-heart challenge for you as we turn to the wisdom of the Page of Wands (Reversed) today. It’s all about facing those inner battles, but hey, only when you’re ready. No rush, okay?

When you feel up to it, here’s a little ritual to try:

Brew yourself a calming cup of Chamomile tea. It’s like a warm hug in a mug.
Get comfy and start a body scan. Begin at your toes and gently work your way up, inch by inch. Our bodies are like libraries, storing memories in the most unexpected nooks and crannies.
Tune in to what you’re feeling. Any tingles, aches, or butterflies? Sit with those sensations. They’re telling you a story.
Give those feelings a name. Acknowledge them. Maybe jot them down in a journal if that’s your thing.
If any of these sensations are bringing you down, have a little chat with them. Tell them, “Thanks, but it’s time to move on. You’ve done your job, but I don’t need you anymore.”
Embrace this moment. It’s your time to heal and grow even stronger.

And remember, you are absolutely enough, just as you are. You’re loved, cherished, and yes, you’re incredibly beautiful – inside and out. Keep shining bright! 🌟-Maggie

Moon: 10% Waxing Crescent

Astrological Sun Sign: Sagittarius (November 22-December 21) “The Archer”

Crystals: Citrine (Self-Esteem) and Garnet (Empowerment)

Essential Oils: Lemon and Cypress (Self-Confidence and Clarity)

Today’s Number: 5 (Change, Adaptability, and Freedom)

Daily Mantra: “I recognize my worth within, and that is enough to light my path.”

In the whirlwind of the holiday season’s frenetic energy, it’s all too easy to feel like a forgotten ember amidst the bustling festivities. Amidst the flurry of short days and long nights, the rush of gift shopping and wrapping, the kitchen filled with the aroma of baking, and the planning of grand feasts, you might find yourself lost in the merry chaos. But, my dear, I want you to know that you’re doing exceptionally well. The 6 of Wands is a gentle reminder that you’re perfect just as you are.

I challenge you, my friend, to embrace the gift of humility and validate not just the presents you wrap but the love you carry within. Take a moment to acknowledge all that you do and all that you are. In this season of twilight, when the world is adorned with the glow of holiday lights, remember that your inner light shines brightly, too. Sending you light and love during this magical time. – Maggie

Daily Reading for Thursday, December 14, 2023

Card: 3 of Swords (Reversed)

Moon: 5% Waxing Crescent

Astrological Sun Sign: Sagittarius (November 22-December 21) “The Archer”

Crystals: Rose Quartz (Heart Chakra Healing and Self-Love), Rhodonite (Emotional Healing and Forgiveness), and Amethyst (Tranquility and Releasing Negative Emotions)

Essential Oils: Rose (Emotional Healing and Love), Lavender (Relaxation and Inner Peace), and Frankincense (Spiritual Healing and Emotional Balance)

Today’s Number: 14 (Adaptability and Change)

Today, you may have a heavy heart, as signified by the 3 of Swords (Reversed). Recovering from emotional pain, heartbreak, or sorrow takes time; today is the beginning of that recovery. Take time, dear one, to sit in your pain and explore what is needed to help speed recovery. Life ebbs and flows. Ebbs are the lows, where we face life’s trials and tribulations. Life’s flows are our good times and our life’s abundance.

Without pain, we wouldn’t know pleasure.

Without heartbreak, we wouldn’t know happiness.

Without sorrow, we wouldn’t know joy.

Though I do not consider myself overtly religious, I do sincerely appreciate Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 in the King James Version (KJV) of the Bible:

“To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:
A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;
A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;
A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.”

Sending you love and healing, dear one. You are going to be okay. -Maggie

Daily Reading for December 11, 2023

Daily Reading for Monday, December 11, 2023

Card: Wheel of Fortune (Reversed)

Moon: 2% Waning Crescent

Astrological Sun Sign: Sagittarius (November 22-December 21) “The Archer”

Crystals: Black Tourmaline and Hematite (Grounding Energy and Protection)

Essential Oils: Rosemary and Lemon (Promotes Clarity, Positivity, and Adaptability During Uncertain Times)

Today’s Number: 12 (Balance, Harmony, and Cooperation)

Anytime a Major Arcana card reveals itself, its meaning is significant and profoundly symbolic. Unlike the Minor Arcana, which reveals things in your day-to-day life, the Major cards are associated with significant life transitions, inner growth, and deeper spiritual insights.

The Wheel of Fortune Reversed is not a favorite card by many because it suggests a temporary setback or a period of bad luck. This card can indicate delays, unexpected changes, or feelings that things are not going your way.

The bright side is that we know there will be turbulence ahead; therefore, we can buckle up and ride out the bumps ahead. We know to care for ourselves in the meantime. Meditate. Say a Mantra. Reach for the Rosemary and Lemon. Carry Hematite or Black Tourmaline and use it as a Worry Stone. Make some time for yourself. And know that you’ve got this!

This, too, shall pass.

Sending love and light. -Maggie

P.S. Here are some Mantras you may want to try.

“I embrace change as a constant flow in my life.”

“I find peace within, regardless of external circumstances.”

“I trust in the divine timing of the universe.”

“I am open to new opportunities and possibilities.”

“I release what no longer serves me and welcome what does.”

Card: 4 of Swords (Reversed)

Moon: 6% Waning Crescent

Astrological Sun Sign: Sagittarius (November 22-December 21) “The Archer”

Crystals: Amethyst and Selenite (Promotes Mental Clarity, Relaxation, and Spiritual Healing)

Essential Oils: Eucalyptus and Peppermint (Invigorates and Provides Mental Clarity When Emerging From Rest or Contemplation)

Today’s Number: 11 (A Master Number – Intuition, Spiritual Insight, and Enlightenment)

The 4 of Swords reveals itself again, but this time, it is reversed. The 4 of Swords Reversed tells us it is time to come out of a period of rest or withdrawal. You may feel restless or eager to move on with your life now that you’ve had time to recuperate and reflect. Remember, there may be some unresolved issues you have been avoiding. Maybe there’s a challenge you’ve been sidestepping. Now is the time to face those issues head-on.

Sending you encouragement on your journey. -Maggie

Card: Ace of Pentacles (Upright)

Moon: 10% Waning Crescent

Astrological Sun Sign: Sagittarius (November 22-December 21) “The Archer”

Crystals: Citrine and Green Aventurine (Wealth, Success, & Good Fortune)

Essential Oils: Patchouli and Vetiver (Grounding, Connecting to Material Realm, Promoting Abundance and Stability)

Today’s Number: 1 (New Beginnings, Leadership, and Spiritual Healing)

The Ace, or the first card in the deck, indicates the beginning, and the Pentacle usually indicates the material world or the practical side of life. So, it’s no surprise that the Ace of Pentacles means new opportunities, financial stability, and material abundance. Today’s number is also 1, meaning new beginnings, leadership, and spiritual healing.

May your day be filled with abundance, dear one. -Maggie

Daily Reading for December 8, 2023

Daily Reading for Friday, December 8, 2023

Card: Temperance (Upright)

Moon: 17% Waning Crescent

Astrological Sun Sign: Sagittarius (November 22-December 21) “The Archer”

Crystals: Rainbow Fluorite, Clear Quartz, and Moonstone

Essential Oils: Rose and Chamomile

Today’s Number: 9 (Compassion, Humanitarianism, and Completion)

Today’s card is Temperance, the 15th card in the Major Arcana, guiding us to seek balance, harmony, and moderation. In Numerology, the number 15 reduces to 6 (1+5=6). Interestingly, in Dante’s Inferno, the 6th Deadly Sin is Gluttony. Unlike the historical Temperance movement that advocated total abstinence, the Temperance tarot card reminds us that it’s acceptable to enjoy life in moderation. As we head into the weekend, remember to have fun while finding that sweet spot between restraint and excess.

Take care, dear ones. -Maggie

P.S. If you are curious about where I get the daily number, I get it from the day’s date. To calculate the numerology number for today’s date, you add up all the digits:

1 + 2 + 0 + 8 + 2 + 0 + 2 + 3 = 18

Now, you can further reduce it to a single-digit number by adding the digits of 18:

1 + 8 = 9

So, the numerology number for December 8, 2023, is 9.
