Welcome to 2025 and Happy New Year! I suspect that many, if not all of us, were not expecting the landscapes of our lives to look like the reality that still faces us today. The darkness seems to be gathering ever more deeply around us. But wait ~ ever since December 21st the light has been steadily growing. That is a scientific fact. So do we focus on the light or remain mired in darkness?
I’ve returned to my tarot cards, the Voyager deck, for a look at a way forward in the New Year. Our first card is the Sage of Cups, which is all about release and renewal, particularly in our emotional body. This is an ideal time to find a quiet space to go within and feel with our heart. What emotional baggage are we carrying that needs to be left behind? What old hurts and wounds are blocking our path into the future? Take time to let your conscious awareness sense if it is time to release and let go, and then lighten your load for the journey ahead.
No, this may not be easy but our second card reminds us that we need to pack our courage for this journey. This card is the 7 of Wands and Wands is the fire suit, so this card brings in the energy of Spirit. Even if we feel tired and in despair, we are not alone. Filled with the fire of the living Spirit of Love and Light, we can move forward into the New Year with courage and hope.
Our last card is a major arcana, #8 Balance. This energy is a powerful encouragement to remain steady and centered even in the midst of the storm. Remember, the Light is growing stronger with each passing day. It may seem terribly dark around us, but the Light still shines. It is up to us to shine that Light and be the candle that illumines the way forward. Our world desperately needs our Light right now. Pray for peace, pray for wisdom and Divine Order for our government. and pray for healing for all God’s family, especially the world’s children.
God of the Past, the Present and the Future, you have told us that you are the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. Show us how to release the past and open the door to the future. Teach us to focus on the Light ahead of us, even if it is just that one little candle. Guide our steps as we walk fearlessly into your new world, and grant to us the courage to be your voice and your hands, creating love, peace and joy as we journey onward. So it is.
