Hi, welcome to Illuminated Tarot. My name is Jenna. Today I'm here to do your weekly reading, collective reading for the week of December 22nd through the 28th. I'm coming in a little bit later today on a Monday. Normally I try to post this before noon, but I have company and I've been very busy and I wanted to steal away some time to sit down with you all and talk about the week ahead.
I'm not going to talk a lot about the astrology. We are in Capricorn season and the sun or sorry Venus is moving into Capricorn this week. So we have this heavy energy of the long term. What's going to bring about long-term success? What's going to bring about long-term happiness? You know, thinking about not just the short term, but the long term and making moves toward that, especially as we wrap up the final weeks of 2025.
So, I'm going to talk with you about a few quotes. One of them came through my mother um who I'm able to spend time with this holiday season and my father. Uh I'm actually still getting back to this desk because my daughter wanted to make extra money yesterday and clean for me and I got to hand it to her. She knows how to clean. So let's get into these quotes. All right.
I will be talking a little bit about the astrology as we move forward because I am always aware of that. But let's go into some of these frequencies because I want us to wrap up the end of the year with some reflective words and also to honor um what a holy week it is. You know, in whatever faith you ascribe to, this is a chance for us all to open up our hearts and enjoy the week ahead. All right? As best we can.
So, this comes by way of Deep Minds Anonymous. And if you want to jump around, everything's timestamped. You can go straight into the reading. I'm just going to share a few quotes with you for you to reflect on for the week ahead. This one hit me hard. My My mother is such she's just she she gets me every time because she's very she's always been that mother that is a deep feeler and I love that about her.
"One day, you'll do something for the last time. The last time you hug your mom without realizing it. The last late night drive with your best friend before life pulls you in different directions. The last meal at your favorite spot before it closes. The last time you laugh until you cry with people you won't see again. You won't know it's the last. They won't feel special in the moment. It'll feel like any other day until it isn't. So be where your feet are. Look people in the eye. Say what you mean. feel it fully because the ordinary moments, they're only ordinary until they're gone."
And this next one speaks on the healing journey I think many of us have been on, especially over the last few years. This hit me like a brick. My therapist said, "Healing isn't soft. It's violent in the most awakening way." Because nothing shakes you harder than realizing your whole personality was built on survival. that your calm was actually emotional numbness. Your strong and independent era came from never having anyone to rely on. Your high standards were just fear disguised as control. Healing is grieving the version of you who spent years doing whatever it took just to feel safe. And the hardest part, finally loving yourself enough to let that version of yourself go."
Then it all made sense. So I think that's what many of us have been doing have been letting go of that version. And if you have not and you're still holding on to this identity role energy, I do believe it's going to be softening and dissolving in 2026. Going to be able to let go of any kind of armoring you've needed to survive and welcoming energies that will help support you and love you.
Let me read this last one. This is about the end of the year. I don't know who needs to hear this, but there's a reason 2025, the year of the snake, felt so heavy. It was a year of shedding, letting go of friendships that no longer aligned, relationships that failed us, and attachments we held on to far too long. Truths were exposed. Mass spell cycles ended so growth could begin. 2026 is the year of the horse, a year of strength, momentum, opportunity, and alignment, forward movement with purpose. So, be mindful how you close out these next few weeks because we are not bringing old energy into what's meant to run free. No, Siri, not bringing old energy into what's meant to run free. Oh, I love that. That just that just hits so perfectly right now, doesn't it?
All right, let's call spirit in and let's pull some oracle messages. Thank you, spirit, for presiding over this reading for the collective today. All right, let's see what's going on. Let's pull the oracle. This is the path of awakening oracle. Facing fear. There we go. Courage and inner strength. Uh, this came out, wasn't it? Last week I pulled a spirit animal and it was the spider. So, we are dreamw weaving. This is when we're actually maybe taking time off from work, gathering with friends and family, celebrating these milestones of 2025 as we close out the year, honoring everything that went down. You know, the good, the bad, and the ugly, I'm hearing. And now we get to weave in this cosmic web of creation. I'm getting that we're all We're all so much more intricately linked than we believe we possible. I'm getting that they're showing me that butterfly effect that as long as you spread love and kindness. It's really the hardest thing, isn't it? Especially when people do you wrong, especially when people don't make sense. when they're acting out of fear and not love. This is facing your own fears around reaching for the greatest version of self.
Let's keep going. The courage and inner strength to change and evolve and grow. We all faced it in 2025 and I feel like this year is a different kind of courage. The courage to awaken to our own power. That's what I'm hearing. Awakening to our own power, the clearing that we've done and the cleansing and the purifying that we've done in all of 2025 as a whole. Purify, refresh, and fortify clearing. This looks like a very Octuran image too. So I'm getting that this uh the higher divine intelligence, the more evolved intelligence of the universe is moving through cosmically through this planetary alignment that we've had of the solstice, this turning point, the darkest night of the year here in the northern hemisphere. As the light returns, we are purified. And now we are going towards kindred. Kindred connections, chosen family, soul tribe, the dolphin, play, fun. I feel like 2026 is not going to be a heavy year. It's going to be a year of new beginnings, a year of new creations, tribe, ancestry, chosen family. We have the amethyst clarity. We have the ocean. Uh it looks like play, laughter, fun, balanced energy. Wow.
What's the main frequency that we're going to be dealing with this week? Empowerment. Empowerment. The frequency of empowerment supports our ability to show up fully and completely uniting us with others in the deep trust that we are all connected through the same source. That's what I was just talking about with the spiderweb. We are all connected through the same source. We've done a great clearing of misaligned connections and we've been going through this refinement of the soul like a fine wine. We just get better with age. Right. Right. Empowerment. I love this. and it just radiates outward.
What are the karmic threads that we're moving through this week? What are the karmic threads that we're moving through this week? Learning from the pain. Whoa. And did you see how it wanted to leave my hands? Letting go of the pain. Learning from the pain. Whatever cracked us open, the growth that came because of that, the people we had to let go of, right? The cycles that ended, the mass that fell, the truths that were exposed, letting go of friends, relationships, exes, people who failed us, and attachments that we could not let go of. Pain is a catalyst for change. Allow it to lead you to deeper wisdom and growth. Yeah, I think this is where we're actually letting the light come in in the cracks, right? That bamboo growth, it's like lightning growth. Bamboo grows, it's prolific. So, there's a lot of growth that's coming out of this year that we've just lived through collectively. There's so much growth. This is like boom. Like the kind of growth where you're going to be taking huge leaps towards your deepest deepest deepest dreams and desires. We're learning from the pain, everybody. Learning from the pain. Emotional alchemy. One more. I feel one more in here. Wants to come out. There it is. Release the root. Interesting how this is breaking open so we can grow like bamboos and releasing roots of anything that's stagnant, dead, no longer serving you. Beliefs, attachments, patterns. You cannot fully heal when you're afraid to name the source of the pain. Trace the pain to its root and gently pull it loose from your field. Yeah, a lot of us are releasing um deep held roots, ancestral roots of living in a state of perpetual pain. Wow. I'm getting that even like I'm getting this um shaft of light that comes through the heavens. And it's uprooting many of us, you know, when you think of when um when people do Reiki and energy healing, whatever you have in your root chakra and they're saying that the root chakra is our sense of security. Many of us have been moving through the world, why I chose to talk about that survival poem. We I think for so long many people on the path what leads us to the to awakening anyway is the pain is the feeling of you're trying to hold on and survive your journey. And I think we're moving from survival mindset to thriving mindset where we're no longer in this emotional disregulated state. We're moving from a calm centered place from the sovereign I am. I am worthy of love. I am worthy of peace. I am worthy of calm. Wow. This is big empowerment. Many of us have released the root of the pain in 2025 and we set it free. You might want to do something at the end of this year to honor that. Whatever it is, you can draw something. You can um just they're saying do something maybe creatively to honor you getting to the root of your pain and and it's been you had to go through almost your own reckoning, your own shakeup if you will, your own tower moment of truth and you're learning from it. This is takes so much courage. Not everyone can do this in this lifetime. And for those of you called who were called to this reading today, you've done it. You've done it. This is a time to honor and be proud of your achievement. You are in a new level of empowerment because you faced yourself. Wow, that's powerful.
Let's now get into the tarot. Ace of cups at the bottom. This is letting your heart be vulnerable, being real with people, looking at people in the eye, saying what you mean, spreading love and kindness. New beginning for your heart. Eight of Pentacles. You've done the work. You might want to take out some time this week to write some things that you want to promise yourself in 2026. Like, I promise to keep my heart open even when I want to close it. I promise to share what I'm feeling, even if I feel like it's not going to fall on ears that are willing to listen. What matters is you at least spoke the truth. Seven of Wands, the judgment. I promise to protect my energy and let go of an old version of me.
All right, let's get some energy for the week. What's going on, spirit? What we don't see coming this week? Oh, we have the lovers and the seven of swords. Wow. The lovers is deep connection. It is. These are the people that we choose to bring in close into our aura, into our energy field. And the seven of swords is an energy of can can I really trust this? Does this person feel like home? Do I feel safe here? Is this person growing with me? We just had five of swords come out. Some of you are feeling very confused about a connection in your life. Doesn't have to be romantic, but lovers typically can be. It also is trusting your heart to stay open.
Four of Wands. Yeah, some of you are looking at structures right now and foundations whatever you're I mean Capricorn energy is commitment and you could be really thinking about your relationship with commitment itself and are what what and to whom are you deeply committed to and can you trust in that commitment because if you are pouring your energy into any kind of commitment that you can't trust whether it's I need to change my relationship with my work I need to change my relationship with how I treat my body how I treat my schedule how I treat this person. It's whatever you're committed and bound to that you choose in this time period I'm reading for. Trust that it's secure for you, that it's building balance in your life. Four of Wands, balance, security. We're going through right of passage where we're putting connections behind us that we couldn't trust anymore. And we we had to realize we had a choice. You can remain a victim or you can say, you know what, I have a choice to leave this. Because sometimes what happens is we start beating that drum of I'm a victim. I'm a victim. I'm a victim. But we stay and we put up with more and more and more. And so I think a lot of us we've realized what what's deceptive the energies that we know we don't want around anymore so we can solidify in our foundations. Yeah. And become sovereign. Yeah.
Spirit's really what I'm getting is the arc of 2025 and what we all had to do. We had to take an inventory like an energy audit of everything in our lives. Everything. Is this soul aligned for me in what I'm doing for a living? Is this soul aligned for me in how I'm parenting? Is this soul aligned for me in how I'm treating my body, mind, and spirit? Is this soul aligned for me in how I am sharing my body, mind, and spirit with a significant other? And we had to really look at it and be honest with ourselves about it. And you say yes or no or maybe. And spirit's saying this is not the time for maybe anymore. This is either a yes or no. And it's time to let go. We've learned independence and empowerment this year and we've had to let go of a lot. Five of Pentacles, namely that we were ever victims to begin with. So, I think this is a deeply reflective week where we're looking back on people we couldn't trust, situations we couldn't trust, um trusting in ourselves to have the discipline to say no. One more. Yeah. and the High Priestess because our inner intuition, our inner knowing says so. You know, when you're not listening to your intuition and you're making excuses after excuses after excuses and staying in something that isn't healthy. Seven of Swords is a deceptive energy, it'll start feeling like uhoh. So, spirit is is really proud of what we faced. We had to get honest with ourselves about what we're deeply committed to so we can maintain empowerment, sovereign energy, and stay soul aligned. I would say job well done.
Let's now clarify the lovers and the high priestess. So now, well, because we want to be in connections that are deep and true and abiding and two people are doing the work. How can you make something work if only one person's doing the work? Whether that's a friendship, a family relationship dynamic or a lover that wants to come out in reverse. Oh, death in reverse. Okay, this is definitely like uh don't go back to past cycles. Close it out. Close it out. I know it's hard. If not, this is what this is the last call. I I knew it. this we have a tower over the death in reverse. So this is when we go back and we're looking back at the past and the shakeups that shaped your life. I hope that many of you this is reflective energy and not what you're actually living. And if it is, whatever needs to be released, this is a great clearing so you can be in soul aligned energies. And you got to face your fear. Whatever it is, I'm afraid of being alone, but I'm going to tolerate someone who's lying to me or deceiving me or cheating on me or I'm going to tolerate a family member that's always so judgmental or a friend that never picks up the phone when I need them, but I'm always there for them. Spirit is saying, "Face it. Face it. Really look at it. Look at wherever you someone is stealing your peace. Nine of swords and creating too much anxiety. Yeah. Some of you are stressing out about um your what you want to create. Queen of wands. This is your fire energy. But this is also don't let anyone or anything deplete you beyond compare. All right. What's at the bottom? The devil. Some of this is just eradicating fear that is not real. All right. It feels real. Trust me, it does. Especially if you're being gaslit or you're dealing with a narcissist. But this is when we need to have healthy boundaries, you all. So, I am seeing that there are some connections that some of you are actually still entertaining, maybe even letting past people back in that spirit is like, why are you doing that? If they are coming back, hopefully it's to heal things and have some healthy closure because this end of year does weird things to people. You know, it makes us nostalgic. It makes us look back. It makes us miss people. But I would say be very careful. Call a friend before you call an ex or reach out and text somebody who you know you have no business communicating with. All right. There there are things that might come up from the past this week. All right. With this death in reverse, you need to be strong enough to honor you. Yeah. Seven of cups. This is also facing the reality of a situation around how you're really feeling around any immaturity in your life. Page of wands. All right. The sun. A light is being shed on what is not long-term sustainable for you in your life. Whatever it is, whether it's I can't keep doing this job. I can't keep living with this person. I can't keep entertaining this connection. All right, it wouldn't be here if it wasn't important to address. All right, you all. So, this week, this is a great clearing. It's a great facing of the fear. If you have been delay, delay, delay, procrastinating around anything, around your creativity, around a calling, around a connection that you need change in, this is the week you're going to feel that, oh, this is uncomfortable, you know?
Let's get some advice. What's the advice for this week? The Chariot, the Knight of Swords. I love it. The Seven of Swords, and the Six of Wands. It is many of you you're like no. No is a complete sentence. Okay. Chariot emboldened movement forward. This is like I am strong. I am good enough. I am courageous enough to move on and move past anything deceptive, dishonest, not worth my time so I can rise above a situation. This is also collectively looking at the cycles that ended this year and the quakes, right? the little earthquakes, the big earthquakes, the things that shook you, the things that rocked your world. Like I said, the good, the bad, and the ugly. What did you learn? Spirit's saying, "Look at it. Look at how far you've come." Many of you, you've come so far. I think most of you tuning in, you've learned from the pain. You've released the root, whatever that was, the false belief, right? Empowerment. Empowerment. Empowerment. Empowerment.
Let's read from the journey to the heart. This this will seal it, I think, in your understanding. "Practice the power of respect. It is a quiet power, one that caught me by surprise on my journey. And this is for December 22nd. I had heard about it before, but somehow in the shuffle of life, I had forgotten it. Respect. Respect is a spiritual power, a power of the heart, one that's closely connected to gratitude, yet somehow different. It is an attitude toward people, toward life, toward ourselves that only takes a moment to convey, yet somehow has far-reaching effects. It does more than free people to be themselves. It encourages them to be their best. It honors people, life, and the mysterious connection we each have to the divine. Have a series of life experiences caused you to forget respect in your anger? Did you decide that certain persons or groups of people were undeserving of respect? Has familiarity with yourself or another caused you to forget to practice respect? Let go of the past. It's over. But your power to transform the future has just begun. Respect and honor yourself. Respect the needs of your body, the needs of your heart, and the dictates of your soul. Respect the lives of others. Respect the gift of life. Bow in spirit to all you meet. Bow to the gifts of the universe. The sun, moon, earth, sea, and stars. Honor all that lives. The trees, the wild flowers, the eagle soaring high. The deer in the woods, the squirrel scurrying up the tree, the June bug that lights on your shoulder. Each has its place in the world. So do you. Discover the power of respect. Then practice it often. Let it change your world."
So this is when we need to have self-respect and respect for others. to rise above any situations where there is no trust that the situation is really going to be fruitful for you in the long run. Learn from this catalyst of change called pain and face whatever it is that you're afraid to name. Trace it to its root and pull it loose from your field. This is really letting go of everything that has shooken you up this past year and moving beyond it and above it. and learning the lessons. This is really deep, deep soul integration work we're doing this week on a very subtle level.
Let's get a final pull and then you can go on your way. Divine masculine and the seventh chakra. This is healing unhealthy masculine. The frequency of the divine masculine supports our active, focused, and strong side, facilitating our capacity to transform our dreams into form. What is it that you have on hold? It's time to stop procrastinating, whatever that is, so you can move forward with what you want to build in 2026 and stop telling yourself stories that you don't have the power to create the life you desire. You do. The seventh chakra, the energy of the crown chakra supports our feeling of being connected to a higher power and part of a larger whole. We are endlessly connected to the divine. And that I'll tell you in my in my most tender moments of pain and feeling alone in this world on my path through every hurt. It only served to deepen me. It only served me to turn inward to the true source of my power. And that will always be your soul. Always honor the path that you have tread this year. It has been a holy, holy journey. Take time for the sacred this week and respect everything you encounter. Let 2026 be the year that you don't hold back, that you don't entertain energies that don't respect you. Honor yourself enough to say, "I'm going to do things differently in 2026." All right. I hope you enjoyed this transmission. I'll see you all soon. Take care.
