Merry Christmas!

You may recognize the Yule Cat, Jólakötturin, from our Christmas trip around the world. Have you been lazy? You’re in for some serious trouble when this Icelandic Murder Floof shows up.

The Devil is about being stuck in negative thinking and being limited by a situation. The energy is oppressive and heavy. This is a reminder to check yourself before you wreck yourself – don’t allow envy, greed, or materialism to take over.

Out with the old and in with the new. To be ready for New Year’s Eve, the old wrapping paper must be trashed. Release your attachment to what was and welcome the transition ahead.

The reins are firmly in your hands, and you can move ahead with confidence. It’s time to put the past in your rear-view mirror and stay focused on the road ahead. (Did Santa bring you a new car???)

The Magician is the card of mastery and skill. You’ve got the confidence to accomplish your goals, and gifts are right at your fingertips. Proceed with total confidence and find the magic within yourself now.

The Judgement card signals that it’s time for you to strive for greatness and become your best self. This is your cosmic wake-up call. A crossroads. If you have been nice this year, Santa will bring the rewards.

The holiday season is nearing the end, and you’re excited to head into a new year. There is a feeling of elation and completion. The World card is also a good omen for long-distance travel – look at Frosty go!

The Moon portends an unclear path ahead, like one foggy Christmas Eve. Things may not be what they seem, so proceed with caution. There may be unexpected problems and drama.

The Ace of Wands is an omen of good things to come. The green light you’ve been waiting for has arrived. When an opportunity knocks, make sure your breath is ready.

Your strength may be tested during the holidays – stay strong and don’t lose hope. You can transcend the obstacles around you.

All your holiday preparations are about to pay off. Whether luck or simply the result of your hard work, everything is turning and moving. The Wheel of Fortune is a sign that everything is coming around in perfect order.

You know when you’ve hit your limit; put yourself in a time-out. Shut out the distractions so that you may discover the peace and wisdom within. Even Santa needs a break sometimes.

The High Priestess is all about trusting your instincts. Got a hunch about something? Go with it. This is the time to really listen to your gut. Just be careful to trust the angel on your shoulder, not the devil!

The Ace of Swords represents an “a-ha” moment. Fresh ideas and new ways of viewing things. Mental sharpness and the ability to focus on the task at hand. Give that new recipe a try!

The Lovers card often means a relationship is coming into your life. Although usually romantic in nature, it can be any sort of relationship (like Felix and Jasper’s depicted bromance). This card can also indicate a choice – just be sure to follow your heart!

The Emperor represents stability, order, and power. This guy takes names and cracks nuts. When this stern fellow shows up, it’s time to take things seriously. It’s not all bad, however; the Emperor can also indicate achievement through hard work and discipline.

He knows when you’re sleeping. He knows when you’re awake. Weigh your options carefully and try to do the right thing. Justice will come either way, and you don’t want to pay the price for your bad actions.

The Two of Wands is a card of victory. It says you’re about to beat your brother at Uno. You have mastered the situation. You have more than one option available to you, and all of them will end in success. So what’s next? Ruling Christmas like a boss!

This is the card for balance and harmony, finding the middle road between sweet and savory. Temperance is also a gentle reminder to pace yourself – the holidays are a marathon, not a sprint. Weigh your options carefully. Is it worth the calories?

This is the time for patience and non-action. The stocking has been hung; now it’s time to wait. This is the card of sacrifice, letting go, surrender – Santa will be here soon enough. Wait it out. Have faith, and treats will arrive.

The treat offered to you may be questionable. You need more time to weigh your options – take a bite or slip it to the dog. This is not the time to take bold action; consider your situation until you have a better sense of what needs to be done to keep the peace.

The Star card represents healing and peace. Optimism is restored, and wishes are being fulfilled. Things are looking up. You’re happy and ready to sparkle. Twinkle, twinkle – you’re a star!

The Two of Cups indicates that you may be meeting someone soon. It can signify any sort of positive partnership – love, friendship, or even work-related. It’s all about connecting and coming together over a warm beverage.

The Tower card is a sign that changes are coming your way. Time to start fresh with that outfit that you didn’t know you wanted (but your sister did). It might seem scary to peek behind the wrapping paper, but happiness and cool stuff may be on the other side.

Ready to mix things up? Tired of the same old party attire? Put that conservative jacket behind you and take a leap. Beware of the haters, but strut confidently into a crowd knowing your originality will be the talk of the season.

The Sun represents a joyous and happy celebration. The clouds are lifted, and you can proceed with confidence. Plant a seed and watch it grow!

The Ace of Cups indicates that a new love awaits you. A new delicious suitor is on the horizon. If you are looking for love, you will be beguiled by his spicy yet sweet nature. Be open to new experiences and flavors. Don't be afraid to bite the head first.

This card indicates that a period of great celebration is ahead. The energy of The Empress is abundance — an evergreen tree overflowing with lights and colors suggests 24 days of advent calendar good times are in your future.
