USING A WINTER SOLSTICE TAROT SPREAD TO ALIGN WITH THE SEASON
Welcome the energy of the Winter Solstice with this tarot spread for the season that will help you connect with the nature around you and with your intentions for this Winter.
As we reach the end of December and the hush of Winter is settling around us, it's time to get quiet and enter a season of rest and reflection. One way to tap into this energy and make the most of this season of death, rest, and rebirth is to grab your favorite tarot deck and do a reading for yourself to tap into the inner truths the season will reveal to you.
At this time of year when nights are at their longest and the whole world is muted, we can take our cue from nature to turn inward and spend time reflecting on ourselves and our journey through the seasons, leaving Autumn behind, moving through the season of Winter, and preparing ourselves for the awakening of Spring.
It's time to settle in and contemplate the shifting themes of this solstice and how you can best support yourself during your Winter sojourn. Use this Winter Solstice tarot spread to help you step into the dark without fear or worry and embrace the lessons you discover in the shadows.
