The second week of December shifts from last week's reckonings into a more nuanced dance between opportunity and perseverance. This week's cards acknowledge both the magic of new beginnings and the weight of carrying on when things feel heavy.
We're being asked to recognize windows of possibility when they appear, to do our part in preparing for what we want, and to trust that both good times and hard times are temporary. There's an undercurrent of cosmic support running through these seven days—gentle reminders that we're not alone in our struggles, that light is returning even in the darkness, and that our inner knowing has been trying to reach us all along.
These cards hold space for both the exhaustion of endurance and the spark of new potential, acknowledging that December often asks us to hold multiple truths at once.

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.

Planning is a part of life and a part of your journey. There are some things you can’t plan for like unexpected circumstances or things you simply do not have the awareness to prepare for. But there are many things you can anticipate. If you have an idea, you can prepare yourself to talk about it with clarity and confidence. If you are seeking an opportunity such as a promotion, you do your part by researching, learning and being ready to share why you’re the best for the job. Even if you want to change who you are, you can do the work of getting ready to step into that role. Spirit is happy to help you as long as you’re willing to help yourself too. Don’t expect someone else to simply hand you things on a silver platter. You also have to show up with your pitch and be ready to take advantage of opportunities when they come. Too often people are given the chance to succeed but waste it because they didn’t bother to truly prepare themselves. Don’t be that person. Invest in yourself. Invest in your growth. So that when a chance comes up again, you’ll be ready to say yes.

→ Wreath
Wreath calls for you to make the most of your circumstances, especially if things are favorable for you. What goes up must come down and what goes around comes back around. This is true for all areas of life. Nothing will last forever, be it good or bad. If you are enjoying life then do your best to fully enjoy it. Don’t waste it on doubts or worries about the future because trouble will find you soon enough. This isn’t an if but a when. So if you know that, why worry about it. You can’t change it but you can enjoy the good times while they last. The same is true in reverse. Bad days aren’t forever. A bad situation isn’t forever. It may seem that way but there is a resolution in one way or another. You will get past this. You will be ok. It may take some time but whatever you’re going through isn’t the end of the world, even if it feels like it is.

Don’t give up darling. The presence of this card likely means things have been challenging for you for some time. Perhaps it's nothing big. Maybe it's a series of little things that have added up to be too much. Even if it is one massive thing, for you, it feels like a weight you can’t put down but can’t carry either. And you may be wondering why you have to be the one to deal with this? Why is it hard times are always falling in your lap? Why are you so unlucky? I wish you didn’t have to contemplate questions like this. That you felt lucky and felt like the universe truly has your back. And while it may be little consolation, know that you’re facing challenges because you can handle them. Because you’re strong enough to make it through and with each challenge you face, you grow stronger. Pretty words I know but true all the same. I also wish you didn’t have to be strong. That you didn’t have to face challenges but that’s not the truth of your path. What is true is that you’ll make it through and this card has arrived to remind you of that.

→Contemplation
Things may need to change but before that can happen, you need to understand where you’re starting from. You need to understand what’s truly happening so that you know how to address it. Perhaps there are things you could’ve done differently and now need to be aware of how you move in the future. Or maybe there’s still a chance to shift a situation? Maybe things aren’t as dire as you might believe and it just requires your attention. This card often appears when your instinct is to pull the covers over your bed and ignore the problem. When the right approach is being honest with where you are and thinking things through. Remember that contemplation is not an excuse for judgment or self-criticism. You don’t need to put yourself down and frankly doing so isn’t going to offer you a solution. It’s just going to make you feel bad instead of giving you the confidence you need to problem solve. So take a deep breath and remember that you can manage whatever is on your plate. You just have to know what you’re holding first.

Consider today’s card a wink from spirit. Confirmation that someone has your back and that light is returning for you. Help is coming. You may not be able to see it but it's there. So take a deep breath and try to relax. Trust me when I say, having trust in the universe is hard. I know this so much more than I care to admit. But that’s what's required from you today. To believe, and I mean truly believe you’re being taken care of. That some cosmic force is saving you from something. To know that things will work out and that a dark night doesn’t mean all is lost. Try your best to focus on the good today, as much as you can. Give yourself permission to avoid the stress today and save that trouble for tomorrow.

→ Hearth
Hearth is here to warm your soul and to encourage you to stop operating from a place of fear. To trust in what you cannot see: spirit, your guides, your ancestors, and your own inner knowing. Fear has a way of making a situation appear so much worse than it is. There is always a solution even if it isn’t the one you wanted. Logic and reason is not going to help you today. Listening to your heart and trusting your gut is the answer. Deep down, you already know the way forward but you’ve questioned yourself instead of grabbing onto your inner truth. Stop that right now. Or try to. Let yourself feel the truth that’s been reaching for you and go with what feels best for you.
