January 2025 collective tarot
As always, I’ve set the intention that this collective reading be clear, useful, and offer guidance for the highest good of all. This month I pulled 3 cards, the first “What we need less of” is 5 of Cups reversed, the second “What we need more of” is 3 of Cups reversed, and the third “A card of wisdom and guidance” is The Star
Take what you resonates, leave the rest. In the end, you are your most precious compass.
Our reading for January 2025!
Less: 5 of Cups reversed
This card suggests that you may be looking at the glass half full, or perhaps as entirely empty. Do not allow yourself to drown in a sea of heavy emotions. After a time of acknowledging and siting with grief, loss, disappointment, and/or “failure” (I put that in quotes because I don’t think failure is real… it’s always just a stop on the way to figuring it out), there comes a time to shift your focus and turn to little glimmers of hope and light. With this card in the reversed position, I’m getting the sense that the sorrow you may be experiencing could be rooted in personal shame, guilt, low self esteem, or blame.
More: 3 of Cups reversed
How can we acknowledge, honor, and release the stagnant and dense emotions associated with the 5 of Cups? We might begin with celebration as a way to shift our energy out of sorrow and into acceptance. The 3 of Cups is one of my favorite cards, a beacon of close friendship, sisterhood, sharing in celebration and vulnerability, choosing joy and beauty despite everything else. With this card in the reversed potion, we may consider how we can uplift ourselves internally, make ourselves feel more seen by ourselves. It’s time to give ourselves a reason to celebrate, create a self forgiveness ritual, make ourselves a beautiful meal, invite our inner child, and cry until we laugh, or laugh until we cry. Don’t be afraid to get a little goofy, play around, and have fun! No need to prove anything to anyone else, no judgment allowed, just let yourself be free and vulnerable. Know that you are strong enough to contain all parts of you. This is about internal coherence, self acceptance, and joy.
Special Guidance: The Star
What a tender affirmation it is to receive The Star as our divine guidance. You are your own divine guidance, dear one! We are one with the stars, we are literally made of stardust. The sacred waters within your body are the same sacred waters that flow through the body of the Earth. Remember who you are, who we are. Our consciousness is here in this present moment and a thousand unimaginable places at once. Be in awe, be at ease, it’s all right now.
