The third week of December carries us through the winter solstice, and these cards reflect the energy of that turning point—the acknowledgment of darkness while trusting that light is already beginning its return. This is a week that asks us to soften our relationship with ourselves and with the signs that are trying to reach us.
We're being called to stop second-guessing our intuition, to shift our focus from what's wrong to what's actually working, and to remember that small acts of kindness create ripples we may never fully see. There's a gentleness here, an invitation to find joy in simple pleasures rather than waiting for something extraordinary to validate our happiness.
As we reach the longest night of the year, the cards remind us that balance—between dreaming and doing, between masculine and feminine energies, between effort and allowing—is where true magic lives.

→ Frost
How many times have you dismissed your gut feelings? How often do you diminish synchronicities and signs when they appear? Frost finds you in a reading when you are blocking the cosmic winks that are happening for you. When you find ways to pick apart these signs rather than learning to trust them. You cannot build intuition by second guessing yourself. You must learn to embrace the signs when they come and to allow yourself to sense the meaning in them. Remember that logic has no place in feeling. Your mind will try to apply rules and limitations to what you feel in your soul but the mind often lacks the language to convey what the spirit knows to be true. If something feels like a sign today, then let it be a sign without applying reason to it. Accept it as something meaningful to you and see how that feels. To move through your day knowing that butterfly brought you comfort or the poster validates what you were already feeling.

→ Cold Moon
Focusing on the negative is almost second nature to most people. To dwell on what’s wrong, what’s missing, what’s unfair or what’s strange has somehow become synonymous with seeking personal growth. We tell ourselves that we’re just identifying problems or that we’re reflecting. When really, what we’re doing is self-bullying. We’re allowing ourselves to be our own haters by ripping apart every single way that we don’t measure up to our often unrealistic expectations. Cold Moon has appeared in this reading to bring clarity to what’s actually important: the ways in which you’re getting it right. The things that did go well or that have exceeded your expectations. To choose to invest in the positive comment rather than the negative one. That’s not to say you shouldn’t reflect on things that are less than perfect. But the goal is to reflect and make a plan to change it rather than just dwelling on it as a form of self-punishment.

→ Father Christmas
This is a cliche but that doesn’t matter because it's true. Being kind costs you nothing. Choosing to uplift rather than tear someone down doesn’t take anything away from you but it can offer the world to someone else. Someone who needs someone to believe in them, to see their beauty, to shatter their insecurities or just someone to be a light in a sea of darkness. This card invites you to focus on that kind of kindness today. There’s no need for a big dramatic gesture. A simple compliment will do. A thank you that you actually mean is enough. And a smile just because you can is a sufficient amount of goodness. It may not seem like it but spirit notices when you choose kindness. And if nothing else, it just feels good to make someone else feel good. And look, you don’t have to pretend that you’re doing this for selfless reasons. You can acknowledge being kind because you want good energy to come back around to you. It’s the same as depositing money in a bank to earn some interest. Only in this case, a simple act could potentially change the course of someone’s life and perhaps most importantly of all, it could change the course of your own.

→ Light
Light is such a wonderful card to receive as it means joy will fill your day. It brings with it a message of abundance, clarity or just a generally content feeling. Nothing flashy may happen today but you’re unlikely to experience a bad day either. And if you do, you’ll bounce back faster than you might imagine. You don’t have to look for anything special, just welcome and acknowledge joy when it comes. And be sure to lean into chances to have simple pleasures. Take that extra cookie, people watch at the park, add whip cream to your coffee or watch that feel good holiday movie. Light doesn't need to be a roaring bonfire to be meaningful. It's about connecting to things that bring you joy and understanding joy isn’t meant to be experienced in big dramatic moments. It's meant to be savored everyday. For some, this card will mean welcome news. A promotion, confirmation of a pregnancy, the final piece in recovery from an illness or a surprise visit from a loved one. Enjoy it. Be in the moment of happiness and let it recharge your spirit.

→Dove Medicine
Who do you need to forgive? That’s what dove asks of you. And before you answer that question, know that forgiveness is not the same thing as excusing a behavior. Forgiveness doesn’t erase the hardships or traumas dropped in your lap by someone else’s bullshit. It doesn’t change your past and it probably won’t change the person you’re forgiving. But it does change you. It allows you to let go of what you can’t change. It gives you the freedom to move on without carrying this weight behind you. Because the truth is that your anger isn’t hurting anyone but yourself. The person that anger or sadness or pain is directed towards probably doesn’t even know you’re angry and if they do, they probably don’t care. At least not in the way you want them to. All being angry does is keep you stuck, giving your power away to someone who doesn’t deserve it. Think of the person who hurt you like a power cord. They’re plugged into your outlet, taking your energy, your power. Forgiveness means unplugging that cord; cutting off their ability to steal your energy. So I’ll ask you again: who do you need to forgive? And when the answer comes to you, do yourself a favor and pull that plug.

→ Mistletoe
There’s a window of opportunity for you today. A chance to plant a small seed. An idea might be born today or the chance to take a new path begins to unfold. A conversation that could lead to a major breakthrough or opportunity. A connection that could lead to finding the love of your life. Or perhaps the beginning of a shift in who you are as a person. Today is a day for dreaming. For taking advantage of whatever good has dropped into your lap. So don’t question it. Don’t let your mind run away with the doubt and fears or worse the “what ifs.” Instead, let yourself be present in the doorway that’s cracked open for you. Maybe it won’t go anywhere and that’s ok too. Perhaps you just needed a moment to dream. But the more likely answer is that it’s going in a direction you couldn’t imagine. Today becomes the seed of a path you may never be able to connect the dots to. And you don’t need to. All you need to do is say yes when something good happens and then sit back and let your life take its course.

→ Yule Log
There are people who are creative and have immense potential. They see the world in a truly unique way. There are people who are practical and able to get things done. They make the cold calls, work the long hours and know how to be their own cheerleader. Then there are those rare few people who are both. Those are the people who reach the highest levels of success. Not just because they’re more talented than others and not just because they’re hard workers. But because they match their masculine and feminine energies. Think of it this way, a male sperm and female egg are required to make a baby. Masculine and feminine create something magical. So why would the gestation of your goals be any different? You need to be able to create and self-promote. You need to dream big and meet that imagination with practical action. Risk needs to be calculated and action should check in with intuition. You’ll likely set an intention today for Yule; let it be one of balance. Let it be something where both parts of you can show up fully.
