Imbolc Special | "What new beginning awaits you in the next 3 months?" [ARCHIVED READING]
|| Archived stamp is explained at the end of this post.
Imbolc, also known as Candlemas or Brigid's Day, is a festival that marks the midpoint between the Winter Solstice and the Spring Equinox. It celebrates the return of the light, and is a time of purification and renewal. You can learn more about it on this awesome post by @dionysianivy.
This reading is meant to confirm your intuition, help you get clarity where things are foggy, and hopefully brighten your day! Remember you are loved by your ancestors and by source itself. You can pick your pile by the image or by the keyword. This is a general reading, trust your intuition.
Pile 1 (The Self - ᛗ) | Pile 2 (Your Life - ᚱ) | Pile 3 (Inner Power - ᛋ)
PS: I'm trying to do things a little different in this reading, so it won't be as long, lol.

Reading below the cut.
Pile 1 - Mannaz (ᛗ)
Current energy: Chiron, Black (Moon) Lilith, Pisces.
You're currently going through a healing process, pile 1. This might have just begun, but to most of you it has been going on for a while, and it recently reached its deepest phase - as signaled by Black Moon Lilith (hidden parts of the psyche) and Pisces (12th house).
These signs serve as double confirmation if you happen to have then in prominent positions in your birth chart; if that's not the case, they're here to help visualize the energy you're currently in - regardless of when you find this reading.
Your Cards: The High Priestess, Knight of Cups, 6 of Pentacles.
There's a slow and steady progression here, pile 1, one that brings you a lot of wisdom. Your new beginning is in regards to your finances, I can see you have learned - or are learning - to trust your own intuition, and most importantly how to believe in yourself. This allowed you to broaden your horizons and pursue dreams/goals that you deemed unachievable previously. Probably a career path you are attached to emotionally, maybe it was a childhood dream of yours, or something in the creative field.
Now, the 6 of Pentacles here tells me that you might not have much but you're willing to share what you have. This is also advice in how to move forward, or what to focus on - however, remember my readings are meant to confirm your intuition, so if you're trying to make it fit to your circumstances, this is not the pile/reading for you.
Back to the reading: instead of the 6 of Pentacles being about doing charity of some sort, it's about you sharing your work. Be it on social media, or finding places where your skills could be of use - creativity remember! - you putting yourself out there will align you with opportunities you wouldn't have otherwise. It's a matter of 'right place at the right time', but don't obsess over it or overthink it. I'm being reminded of the phrase:
"If something is for you, all you have to be is you to receive it."
So, pile 1, there's a new beginning in your career - whether you're literally just starting your first job, changing jobs/career path, or being promoted, the work you do will be very fulfilling and aligned with your highest good. This is all thanks to the work you put in healing your self, my dear, be proud of who you are and who you are becoming. Most people settle for having their basic needs met, and there's nothing wrong with that, but some of us want more out of life and we're willing to put in the work to achieve it - I'm not talking about financial success, that's great too, but this is truly about feeling alive as you live your life, and being fulfilled no matter what you do.
Pile 2 - Raido (ᚱ)
Current energy: Mercury, Neptune, Taurus.
I can see you have been working on your communication skills, pile 2. There may have been times where you found yourself confused, and might even have wondered if you're 'the problem' or people are really set in misunderstanding you. But, you made the choice to take practical steps in getting better at communicating, whether this is voicing your boundaries, being honest about what you want, or simply the physical aspects of speech - like working on articulation, or pronunciation, even vocabulary for some of you that live in a country that speaks a different language from your mother tongue.
This decision might have stirred conflict, pile 2, but you made the right choice.
You've taken your fate into your own hands, my dear.
And the fates always smile upon the brave. Well, done.
Your Cards: Hanged Man, The Magician, 10 of Pentacles; 5 of Swords in the bottom of the deck.
A surprise awaits you in the near future, dear pile 2! This will happen after a period of conflict, which you will manage with a change in perspective. You'll learn a lesson, about the power of your own determination and strength of will. The energy I'm tapping into is so joyous, truly. I can see the recent past has been one of many trails and errors, pile 2, but this message is here to confirm to you that they weren't in vain - you have learned from the hardships you endured, and you now have the tools, the knowledge necessary to succeed in whatever endeavor you set your eyes on.
Since I cannot tell what the surprise is - of course - I'm being guided to add a channeled message from Brigid.
Channeled Message:
You are protected, my dear child. We watch over you, whether you are awake or asleep. Trust the compass of your heart, it'll never lead you astray. Your physical reflection could never truly show the brightness of your light, such is the nature of the world you reside in momentarily. But do not fret, the eyes can still see the light that hides beneath the human flesh. Those who are meant for you, will never overlook you, will never try to dim you, will never try to cast shadows your way. Trust in your own heart, trust in your own light. It'll always guide you to your true north. Blessings, my beloved soul. - from Brigid and Mother Gaia.
Pile 3 - Sowilo (ᛋ)
Current energy: Gemini, Aquarius, Jupiter.
Right away I can sense you're in need to ground, pile 3. Jupiter here tells me you're going through a period of expansion - aka growth - and this is always a chaotic time for our energy bodies, which in turn also disrupt our mortal lives. Gemini and Aquarius are both air signs, so you might be too much in your headspace at the moment - all my readings are timeless, so whenever you are reading this, this should be a confirmation that this is your pile.
Perhaps there is doubt here, about whether you can shoulder this growth, maybe you're afraid what you wished for will become a burden - and disappoint you, I heard. But, my dear, you must remember that there's always a period of adjustment when we go through an expansion. Humans have a remarkable ability to adapt, and you're no different. Be aware of negative self talk, and self-sabotaging tendencies.
Your Card, and Channeled Message: The Hermit.
I heard: "No cards for pile 3." But I asked for at least one and they gave me the hermit, lol. So, pile 3, this will be purely channeled message, as I'm being guided to scry the candle I lighted for this reading.
There are things in life, my dear, that we only can understand after going through hardships. There are things we only learn to deal with, after dealing with. It's no use trying to clean the water in a muddy vase, the same way it's of no use trying to pick at yourself when the wound (fault) is in another. Some people don't see the flame, they only see the light; while others can only point their fingers and talk about the shadows. You must remember that the wind flickers the flame, but also fuels it. Don't throw your pearls to swines, learn how to use the swines to find truffles.
So, pile 3, apparently you'll find your answers looking between the lines of your channeled message - I don't make the rules, unfortunately. Your new beginning is about clarity, my dear - that much is clear to me, lol. This has been the only group so far, in all my readings, that I'm truly being withheld from giving more information. Therefore, you must take this as an exercise of intuition. Especially with The Hermit being your only card, and I myself being guided to raw channel your reading, instead of using tarot cards to facilitate the process. 16:16 as I wrote this - which stands for maintaining a positive outlook in life, and embracing new beginnings. I'll close your reading telling you that whatever new beginning awaits you in the next 3 months, will be indeed a new beginning - one you cannot deny is a new beginning, and as I heard: "one you cannot deny yourself."
[ARCHIVED READING: over time the direction of this blog changed, and I found that this type of reading no longer resonate with what I'm building here. I'm keeping them up for now, because I believe they still can provide clarity to those who are guided to them. However I no longer will be doing PACs in this style - so if you wish to follow me hoping for more of it, know it's not coming. Moving forward I'll be delivering content with a higher value and that can actually help you in a tangible way.]

IMBOLC is one of the eight feasts of the modern pagan calendar, based on the ancient pagan wheel of the year. It falls on February first to second. The feast is also called Candlemas, when candles are lit to symbolize the return of the sun. It is the so-called "cross-quarter" meaning the midpoint between the winter solstice and the spring equinox. It is also the feast of St. Brigid of Kildare, one of Ireland's three patron saints. People celebrate Imbolc by baking, eating dairy products, cleaning their homes, and lighting white candles. This year it falls on a full moon, which makes it even more powerful as a turning point and culmination or fulfillment.
