Yule Special | "What Lesson Has This Season Gifted You?" [ARCHIVED READING]
|| Archived stamp is explained at the end of this post.
Happy Yule everyone! This will be our first seasonal reading in accordance to the Wheel of The Year. Despite being seasonal, these are timeless, therefore whenever you come across them they're still valid if you feel the pull.
I truly hope the message you choose can bring you guidance during this period of your life. Remember you are loved beyond comprehension. You may pick your pile by the image or the keyword. Remember this is a general reading, as I pick up on collective energy, always trust your intuition.
Pile 1 (7 of Diamonds) / Pile 2 (Ace of Clubs) / Pile 3 (10 of Hearts)
PS: The message "You carry centuries of knowledge in your bones" came through for all piles, this also reminds me of the phrase "We're made of star stuff". Seems like a gentle reminder from the Yuletide spirit.

Reading below the cut.
Pile 1 - 7 of Diamonds
Energy check: south node, saturn, jupiter, lilith, 644
For your pile I was only allowed to drawn one angel number, 644, so it's more significant for some reason, pay attention to it. 644 is triple balance, and speaks of a breakthrough in important areas of your life after seeking help/guidance from a higher power - basically it's a wish fulfillment and a reminder to remain balanced internally.
Connecting with the collective energy of this pile I picked up that most of you live in a colder place that most likely experiences snow during this time of the year. Snow and/or snowfall has some significance for those who chose this pile, either you love it or you dislike it strongly due to the hassle it brings. (I don't think I ever used the word 'hassle' before, so I actually had to look it up to check if it's an actual word lol; take this as a confirmation if you use it a lot).
Ok, dear, getting into your charms we have: South Node and Saturn, which I'm sensing are connected here in some sort of past life karma/lesson you had to live through again - I've actually heard 're-live', but I'm pretty sure that's not a word? I checked it out and it's 'relive'. But there's also something here about having to constantly check if you're getting something right?
Some of you might have just gotten a job, or a promotion, and you're scared to mess it up - I've heard "f*ck up", and I usually don't mind strong language but I felt the need to "censor" it because I felt someone here doesn't like it "it's not my taste"? or "it's distasteful"? I also started to feel this energy of start and stop, the image they're giving me is of someone who is learning how to drive and the car keeps jerking/bucking because they're afraid of stepping in the gas pedal.
Which is interesting because we have Jupiter here too, and it's the opposite energy from Saturn. Where Jupiter expands, Saturn contracts. I think you're caught between timelines, pile 1. This year has been a transition period for all of us, but I feel it has been very significant for you. The astrological charm of Lilith (Black Moon Lilith) is a confirmation for some of you that this is indeed your reading, and perhaps you chose a pile from another reading - mine or from other reader - that had it too.
Lesson of the year: (7 of Diamonds/Pentacles; Temperance, Ace of Pentacles, Judgement)
The 7 of Pentacles is all about planning for long-term results, pile 1, but the image of the 7 of Diamonds reminds me of the 8 of Swords card in tarot; this means you probably had trouble with I've heard "seeing the bigger picture", yet I was going to say 'planning for the long run'. This also could mean having anxiety when thinking about the future, to the point of feeling stuck/lost, or even paralyzed when you had to make a decision that felt too big. Some of you might even have experienced panic attacks at some point.
Temperance here is not only the achievement of balance, but a card that signifies you've gone through the process of alchemy - which is internal transformation. This is allowing you to see things from a new perspective, pile 1, and also bringing new opportunities for growth. I've heard "Right to your doorstep". And it's funny because I felt the urge to listen to the soundtrack of the first Harry Potter movie, The Philosopher/Sorcerer's Stone, which is all about alchemy! There's a lot of transformation and growth here, pile 1; Just like Harry who was confined to "the cupboard under the stairs" and out of nowhere finds there's a whole new world waiting to be explored.
Your lesson this year can be summarized by the Judgement card. You felt the call of your higher-self and decided to give it a chance; just like Harry, pile 1, you'll find out you're a wizard/witch too! Of course, our reality has bounds and limits, but there's a lot of astonishing things we can achieve when we set our minds to it. The phrase in the card literally says it all:
"Answering the call to action creates new opportunities."
There are paths in the cards are standing out to me, which means you have stepped into your soul's purpose, my dear, even if it doesn't seem like it right now. You'll soon realize you have what you're looking for - hint: it's within you - and that all your anxieties are only remnants of your old life/programming that are being purged out of your system.
The world can be a magical place, pile 1, but only those who believe in magic can see/experience it.
The Gift of the Season: (XXXV. Slumber; Passion)
This season of your life is ending, pile 1, and that is it's gift to you; closure. Maybe not in the way you'd expect or hope, but there are major life cycles being wrapped up - "and sent back to where they came from", I've heard but we won't dive into that today.
Your choices have awoken your soul from it's slumber, dear, and now you'll embark in the greatest adventure of your life; living and loving your authentic self. Now, it won't be easy, but the reward is greater than any treasure this mortal world could ever give you.
The card Passion depicts a candle, and the energy I picked up while looking at it reminds me of a poem I wrote titled 'Metanoia' which means "change in one's way of life resulting from penitence or spiritual conversion" and "In psychology, metanoia refers to a process of fundamental psychological transformation, often precipitated by crisis, breakdown, or existential conflict. It denotes a shift in an individual’s perception of self, others, or life itself—typically involving disintegration of an old identity followed by the emergence of a reorganized, more integrated self."
This process is literally a gift of the heavens, pile 1. And yes, it might feel bittersweet now, but with time you'll notice the taste will get a lot nicer. Albeit now is just a memory, you'll crave to taste it again; like wanting to re-watch a favorite movie from childhood and get that warm fuzzy feeling inside.
PS: I uploaded the poem I mentioned just so you could read it, if you feel it's relevant to your journey. You can read it here. Also, today marks 7 years since I started my website, it seems relevant to share this with you for some reason. Maybe you want to start something? Well, this is your nudge to do it!
Channeled messages from my diy deck:
"Let yourself laugh. Laughter also heals, let it find you."

Thank you for being here pile 1! Sending you warm hugs, have a wonderful holiday! ^-^/
Pile 2 - Ace of Clubs
Energy check: MC, chiron, lilith, neptune, 453, 345, 534
Hello pile 2, the spirits guided me to start this reading through your pile, so there's something here about being the first in something - I've heard "something important".
Let's start with your energetic alignment; I'm not an astrology expert, but I believe the Midheaven (MC) stands for career or what you'll be known for, since that's the 10th house, if I'm not mistaken. You can check your MC sign and the current transit there if you feel guided to, but here this is about the current focus in your life. With Chiron and Lilith coming next I feel that this is about healing wounds in regards to MC/10th house matters - career, jobs, stability, finances, etc. And Neptune tells me the nature of those wounds, they are most likely limiting beliefs that have clouded your judgment when it comes to these topics, but it also tells me there is past life issues here.
The angel numbers 453, 345, 534 are iterations of the same 3 digits in a way that each one has a chance in being the first, second, and third (last). This also seems relevant to your current situation, I'm getting some of you might have recently entered a contest, or contests were relevant in your youth; also, competition is a highlighted theme here as well, so perhaps beliefs around struggling with competition in the work environment is prevalent to some of you. Neptune is coming through again, and I sense that this is a past life karma that you still feel strongly about in this current lifetime - I'm getting some here have even cried in their workplace, or after getting home, due to stressful social dynamics within the workplace. I'm not getting is outright abuse of any kind, more so pettiness of coworkers, but you know your circumstances and I'm very sorry if you have gone through any sort of workplace abuse as I know from firsthand experience it is very harmful to our mental health and it truly feels defeating. Public humiliation could also be a huge fear and block in your professional life.
Lesson of the year: (Ace of Clubs/Wands; Queen of Pentacles, Knight of Pentacles, The Hierophant)
Now, onto the lesson you've learned this year; the Ace of Clubs is equivalent to the Ace of Wands in tarot, this being your signifier card means your lesson is all about passion: discovering what you truly want to do for a living and having the courage to pursue that.
You have worked on yourself, and the healing you did is now a firm foundation where you can start building a solid future. You have what it takes to achieve your dreams, pile 2, as shown through the Queen of Pentacles. The Knight of Pentacles, however, tells me you must develop a plan if you're serious about what you want, so you're being guided to literally write it down and work with what you have. This will help you put things into perspective, and then you'll be able to understand how to move forward. It also providing encouragement, albeit slow moving, the knight of pentacles is steadfast and dependable - characteristics that are important when you're building anything that is meant to be longstanding. Which seems to be your goal here with The Hierophant, an authority in their field.
This year's lesson for you, pile 2, was getting to know yourself deeply, as to understand what your beliefs, boundaries, and values truly are.
The Gift of the Season: (VI. Crescent; Bounty)
You've been gifted compassion for yourself as you go through phases, pile 2. The Crescent card has all moon phases, while Bounty depicts a snake - which also sheds skin periodically. We are always ever growing, my dear, if we stop phasing we stagnate - and stagnation is death in a sense, for all living things change.
The phrase on the Bounty card is pulling my attention: "The way of the Tao is unpaved, yet people like having a path."
Very synchronistic, but not a coincidence - if you've been here before you might already know I don't believe in coincidences. It's being noted to me that the moon has a path it makes throughout the sky as the year goes by, and the snake makes her path as she slides throughout the fields; I think you're also being gifted a path, pile 2, but this path is within. It's being shown, or it'll be shown to you when you allow yourself to truly follow your heart.
"You already know what you want, listen to your heart."
Some of you might want to watch 'Kiki's Delivery Service', or this is a favourite movie of yours. There's a message for you in the movie, so you're being guided to watch it before the year ends - don't worry if you can't watch it before the year ends, though. Trust divine timing, no coincidences remember? ;)
Channeled messages from my diy deck:
"Problems when seen from a distance, lose their size, just as a lake seen from above is no more than a drop of water."
"Your aura needs rest too. Energy also gets tired, retire yourself."
"Stop waiting. Time doesn't stop for you to decide. Choose now."
"You're not alone. Even when you don't see, the light is always with you."
"Water cleanses you. Shower with intention, and let water carry away the burdens."
"You're allowed to be you. Let yourself grow and shrink without explaining your phases."

Thank you for being here pile 2, I wish you a wonderful holiday! :3
Pile 3 - 10 of Hearts
Energy check: taurus, aries, north node, virgo, 321, 123, 132
Hm, your energy check doesn't seem very relevant, pile 3. Don't get me wrong; what I'm picking up is either the signs are a very clear confirmation that this is your pile, or you have learned to trust your intuition a great deal.
Adding a few remarks, just to make the reading longer, lol; you might have Taurus, Aries and/or Virgo on your big three. Your North Node is significant not only at this time of the year, but through the whole year - you have stepped, or are stepping, in your soul's path.
The angel numbers feel more like a sequence, as if you were learning to dance a waltz - I hope you get what I mean. But it's like, through the year you had to go back and forth either physically, emotionally, or mentally about something - perhaps all three. And this is because you were trying to find the right sequence, pile 3, but the right sequence to you - I've heard: "the one that matches your soul".
Lesson of the year: (10 of Hearts/Cups; The Devil, The Moon, 9 of Swords)
I felt the need to start your reading through this section, pile 3. Right away the 10 of Hearts imagery is giving me mirroring, but as in opposites; the 10 of Cups in tarot is emotional fulfillment, so the opposite of that would be emotional turmoil, or emptiness.
I noticed there's a pair theme in the cards, in The Devil we see the Lovers chained. And in The Moon we have two "dogs" standing side by side, yet they are standing in opposite sides of the road/path. I'm picking up this lesson is about the heart-space, pile 3. It's about love, or the lack thereof, and the self-inflicted illusion that happens when we fall in love with potential instead of truth.
That's why your cards were the heaviest from all 3 piles; matters of the heart always are. I've heard:
"The eyes are the window of the soul, but the heart is the path to it."
I'm also seeing door imagery in my mind's eye, pile 3. I feel there is, or was, the need to close a door on something or someone that was very dear to your heart. In any case, the lesson here is certainly the need to put up boundaries where there may have none. We usually overexert ourselves trying to help the people we love, because we love them, but it's often not our duty to meddle in their affairs. From a spiritual point of view it's quite dangerous, in fact. PS: If you want to know more about this let me know, I won't discuss this here because it's not the reading's focus.
You definitively went through some heartbreak this year, pile 3, and it hit you so hard you might have thought you'd never heal from it. You might still feel that way, actually, but this reading is your reassurance that whatever happened was for your highest good, and you'll see that in time.
The numerology of the cards are standing out to me; you have double 9s - with the 9 of swords and the moon, which is card 18 that sums up to a 9. In numerology 9s are completion, the ending of a cycle before the beginning of another. And the devil is card 15 which sums up to a 6, all about balance - in this case is the balance of the shadow self.
The phrase on the devil card is also standing out to me, so I'll share it with you: "You are only limited by what you believe is possible." I wrote 'believe' as 'think' at first, seems relevant to note that all beliefs are thoughts first. To quote Neville Goddard, "an assumption, though false, if persisted in, will harden into fact." This is true to both negative beliefs and positive beliefs, pile 3. You weren't born believing in anything that you believe right now, you've learned to believe in it through conditioning. You can unlearn it, stop believing in it, and even start believing in the complete opposite. But as The Devil card presents itself, this is a choice; and this is also your lesson this year.
The Gift of the Season: (V. Bloom; Revelation)
First of all, I felt the need to put your cards for the previous section away; this didn't happen with the other piles. And this seems to be your gift, pile 3.
You are being assisted through this hard path you chose - because you have made the decision to heal your heart, even if unconsciously. If you haven't felt the healing manifest in the 3D yet, it will very soon. The cards for this section are extremely light and soothing, the word 'relief' keeps coming through when I look at them. You might find this relief after a dream, pile 3. Perhaps a revelatory dream, maybe something that was confusing or unclear will be shown to you in/through a dream.
I've had quite a few of these myself this year, my guides are asking me to share this because some of you might feel even more confused after it happens, and this is your reassurance that everything is fine - this is part of the healing process. Now, the dreams probably will be intense, and you might cry in the dream and wake up crying because of it. I'm feeling my throat chakra act up while writing this. So there's definitively someone here who have or will have an experience like this.
You might feel the relief that the dream provided, and suddenly feel a void emotionally - maybe even in your heart-space. This is because the heaviness that was stored there is gone, pile 3. You might feel empty because you no longer are carrying a burden around. I believe I wrote something similar in another reading titled Heart Healing, and you might have chosen the pile I wrote it. This is your confirmation that your inner garden is blooming, my dear. Things take a bit longer to manifest physically, but the healing has already occurred in the energetic/spiritual plane.
Channeled messages from my diy deck:
"Feel the moment. Feel with all your being, that's how you live."
"One step at time. Each step made consciously already is half the path walked."
"Ask and let it come. Make the right question and observe the answer of the universe."
"You are enough. You don't need to prove yourself to deserve unconditional love."
"You deserve lightness. Do not self sabotage. You have permission to feel good."
"Everything gets better externally to those that get better internally. You are only a caged bird when you lock yourself away."

Thank you for being here pile 3, yay! Have a wonderfully beautiful holiday season, sending you a warm hug.
Thank you for being here and I wish you a wonderful holiday season!
[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.]
— Thank you and much love, Liliana (formerly The Seer's Oracle).
