 Hello, beautiful souls. Welcome to this annual reading for 2023. My name is Ona and I am so excited for this coming here. In this reading, we're going to go through the four quarters of the year. I'm going to be using a four directions spread that will take us through the four seasons. We'll be pulling a card for each month, but I just wanted to overview a little bit the spread I'll be using so that you can really use it. This is a spread that's meant to be used throughout the year, so you can keep coming back to this video over and over for more insights. And so here is just the explanation of the spread I'll be using. We have in the east here, now I'm playing with the elements a little bit in the past I've always used more of the European pagan tradition of where the which elements go with which direction. I'm playing with earth in the east and this is something that I just found through a group called the unicorn tradition. I'm not affiliated with them, but I loved how they I love their explanation of putting earth in the east because it's it's like the earth is where things spring out of right. And so I'm playing with that in this annual reading. Fire in the south, water in the west and air in the north. So we can see how the cards are going to go on this side here from February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November, December, and January. So we've got these four quarters and the reason I started in February is like I could never figure out how to get the actual calendar year into a spread in a four direction spread for an annual reading in a way that made sense. And of course, it doesn't make sense, because it's really, you know, not, it's meant to kind of take us off. So I'm wanting to pull us back into the actual, the actual seasons, right? Okay. So and also you can use this in terms of thinking of the east as your physical body. And so there's a lot of ways to use this reading. The south is your spiritual body, the west is your autumn or your emotional body and the north as your mental body. So these quarters of the year, each, each reading is going to have three cards for each quarter, but you can also see it for the four bodies. And so like I said, you can come back to this and use this reading a lot of ways. Okay. So I'm going to, without a lot of sophisticated equipment, I'm going to try to get this down so that we can actually see where the spread is going to go. And let me just introduce the decks I'll be using. I'm going to be using three animal decks. This is my spirit animal awareness cards. Will be one. The animal messages deck is another and then Colette Baron reads spirit animal oracle deck. Oops, is the third. And so we're going to start then with February, which is also corresponds to the astrological sign of Aquarius. So this is the card I'm wanting to pull up for that one. Hold on. Let's see what wants to come forward. Here we go. Oh, deer. All right. So deer for February, we're going to put that right down here. And deer is this beautiful sensitive animal. The thing that's popping out at me here is just being easy on yourself in this month of February. And this also goes if you're born in February or are an Aquarius have an Aquarius strongly in your chart. Kind of this might be an overarching theme for you this year to be really, really sensitive and aware, and especially to your own needs. So let's put that down here in the February spot. And next card is going to be coming up from March. And that is also going to be the equinox, the spring in the March equinox time of year. So let's see. This is the card that wants to come forward, elephant. And elephants been coming forward for me a lot lately. And I think it feels like a lot of it is ancestral energy that's coming forward from elephant, because they are this animal that so is so aware of the ancestors, you know, their own ancestors, and these are about elephant graveyards and so forth. And they're also this very maternal culture, you know, animal culture that they have. And so I'm feeling like March, good month to be aware of the ancestors connect with your ancestors. And also just be aware of where you stand in the ancestral line, right, because that we all connect through the bloodlines to both the past and the future. And so considering, you know, how, what kind of legacy are you going to be leaving? You know, this is a good month to consider that, especially as we start tipping into the more active half of the year. So I'm going to put elephant down here. And let's take a look at April. I love this deck. It's just called that bear needs deck, but it's a little hard to shuffle for me. So hi, Kuldeep. He says I had elephant come in my meditation a few days ago. That is awesome. That is awesome. And it's such a beautiful power animal and can be so gentle, although it has its other side too. So this is nightingale spirit coming forward for April. And I love the, the little tagline there love is all around. And the number 41. Okay, so the numbers are also significant. This is the only deck I'm using with numbers. Oh, Kuldeep says that elephant was very loving. That's wonderful. And I think there, there is such love and elephant. And we're getting this message of love too for, for nightingale. That, you know, love is all around in the northern hemisphere. We've got this, this time of year where everything is springing to life. The animals are doing their courtship. So if there's any romance coming forward for you, this might be a month where it really starts to, you know, shake, shake out some, some romantic vibes and whether that be actual kind of love and romance with a partner or just self love. Beautiful, beautiful month for that. So what I'm getting for this whole first quarter, this spring quarter for, for 2023 is a lot of this idea of self awareness and self love, self nurturing, very, very nurturing. So what I'm getting is that just something to be aware of. These are, this isn't really intended to be a predictive reading. What I'm intending is for to show the energies that are there to support us and maybe offer some, some encouragement. So I'm getting for this whole first spring of 2023 self love, self nurturing, self care, and of course, extending that out to others as well. Okay, so let us move on then to the second quarter, which is starting in June. And this will represent the summer. So, oh, I'm sorry, May. And the reason I'm calling it summer, even though it's starting in May, is that we're using the month that contains either the solstice or the equinox as the midpoint of this quarter. Okay, so this is actually the summer quarter with the summer solstice midsummer being the middle month here. Okay, so all coming forward for May. And this is also the season of belting. So again, this is a time of year at least in the northern hemisphere where things are really springing to life and that that life force is out there. But I will tell us to go into our intuition to use your intuition. And I'm almost feeling like this and don't be like don't feel like this is negative, but this is almost a warning card that's coming up that, you know, not everything is as it seems. So, you know, if it is a love affair, just kind of be aware of, of, you know, any undercurrents that may show up, or if it's, you know, whatever is coming forward for you in this life, in, in this May or early summertime, think about just really close your eyes to it. Think of Luke in Star Wars and having to go blind and use to use his intuition, feel for the force at this time. Owl teaches us to listen for the guidance, right? It flies at night and has this ability to see see in the dark, but Owl actually uses her ears a lot for finding her way in the dark. And so listening really deeply for the inner, the deep inner inner wisdom. It's just something to keep in mind in May or in the early summer period of time for 2023. And moving on into June. It's a card for June. And by the way, if you would like your own personal annual reading, I do offer those. And for that one's coming up real quick, for anybody who signs up before the new year, I will throw in a reading for January as well. Okay. And this is Wolf coming up and actually coming up in reverse. So Wolf also is saying, listen to your inner wisdom, enjoy the gift of freedom. Coming in reverse and feeling like either double down on that on the inner wisdom, or feel your way into where are you feeling those attachments, right? And not the healthy attachments, but feel, use your intuition to feel what might be holding you back. Where might you be giving away your energy, right? Or giving away your power. There's a lot of ways that can happen. It can happen through relationships. But also, I'm also getting kind of career and purpose, right? This I'm feeling 2023 is an incredible year. I feel it's going to be an incredible year for star seeds, especially to start really getting traction on our purpose, you know, feeling and for different people that's going to be like wherever you are on your journey. For some people, it may be just an awakening that happens in 2023, and starting to be aware of the spiritual world. For others, it might be the clarity of vision on like, what am I really here for? And then others, for others, it may be a time of actually just releasing anything that's holding you away from your purpose and allowing yourself to actually take that leap and step into it. Okay. And so Wolf is saying, you know, just good time around the solstice, the summer solstice, the dune solstice to really take a look at, you know, what is still holding on to you? What are you holding on to that needs to be released? Okay. And summer solstice, I feel like it sort of relates to the full moon, right? Which we all know is a time of release. And so that can also be a time where we can almost like kind of relinquish anything that's not serving you into the fire of the sun and allow yourself to really start to shine. Right. So let's move forward into July. This card is Otter Spirit. This is number 42. So we'll see how these numbers show up. But we had 41 and then 42 showing up. And these cards are well shuffled. So Otter Spirit, you are never alone. Remember this. And speaking of purpose and speaking of not being alone, I'm going to be making an announcement in just probably within a week or two. I'm looking at some community building this year. I will be having an online community. So just watch for that. But Otter also in this beautiful heart shape, this whole theme of love continuing on into the summer season. And I love Otters because they are so, so playful. And if you've ever seen gone, I was at the Minnesota Zoo once and, you know, was so fascinated by the Otters. They were just sleeping so happily in this pile. And they just looked so cozy and so loving together. So I love that this Otter is definitely all wrapped up in love here. You're never alone. Alrighty. So that is also this, this whole quarter here. It's not even showing. Let's pull this up this way. Okay, this whole summer quarter here is going to also relate to your spiritual body or spiritual health here in in 2023. So I'm feeling like community is one thing. Wolf really, especially as the center card here, Wolf really is a very strong card for community, right? For coming together, right? And because we are stronger together, we're very strong together, right? So the star seeds need to start coming together. If you don't have a group of people that you can really relate to on that spiritual level, you know, look for that because those, you know, I feel like star seeds are going to start coming together big time here in 2023. Alrighty. So for the third quarter, and that is going to be August, September and October. And it will be also working with the emotional body. First card coming up for August is rabbits. And rabbits is a, there's so much about rabbit, but rabbit is this incredible animal for abundance. And Kildivya pack animal, absolutely for wolf, otter as well, right? And then rabbit is also a very, very social animal. We usually see them hopping around, you know, in onesies twosies. So, but the European rabbit does live in big communities, right? And I love rabbit because they're, they're so, they're just so sweet. They're very, I mean, they can get very territorial, they do fight. But they're, I feel like it's a really generous animal, right? It's one of these animals that, that actually, you know, in nature, it's their purpose to feed the other animals, right? And so with rabbit, we have an incredible amount of abundance creative. This might be a really good month for creative projects, moving forward, or even, you know, getting ideas for creative projects. But it's also important to, again, be aware of, like where your boundaries are. Because there's a lot of, you know, that, that it's easy to bleed away your energy. And that can be not just with, you know, other people, but also I'm thinking like the media or always being online, that can be real energy drain, right? And so rabbit is this very sensitive, sensitive creature, and it needs its space in order to bring forth the abundance, right? And mother rabbits can get a little nervous, right? And so they need the quiet, they need space, they need, they need some understanding, right? So you can give that to yourself or, you know, just maybe a good month to go within a little bit and to see what comes out of that. All right, so that would be August. And again, this is emotional body stuff here, right? So, again, treating yourself with lots and lots of love, lots of sensitivity, being very sensitive and aware of, you know, the emotional state of things, other people's emotions and being aware of what is it that, you know, that are you taking on other people's emotions? And, you know, rather than really focusing on your own, right? And being strong in your own emotional body. Hi, Marvita. Oh, I just realized I can actually put these up there. Hi, Marvita. Good morning. Let's see, we've got lots of little things here. I'm going to put, I like that comment right there. See the comments. Alrighty, so let's look at the Equinox month, September 2023. Panda, what a beautiful animal here. This is one that I haven't seen come up in a long, long time. Hi, Samit. Good to see you too. And Panda, I love this coming at the Equinox because it's like, you know, this black and white, this balance, this yin and yang happening here with this animal. And it's also got a lot of the feeling of bear, right, that kind of grounded feeling, the feeling of, oh, just nothing phases, you know, a panda or a bear, right? They're, they're just kind of roll with the punches. And because they're so big, they're strong. And as a panda, as opposed to actually like a black bear or something, is largely vegetarian. And they, you know, here he is with the bamboo, right? And so again, this, this whole theme of gentleness coming forward in this whole year for star seeds. And one thing that we can really learn from Panda is just to kind of breathe and relax, right? And, you know, sitting in your bamboo garden, good month, maybe for meditation, especially in the outside world, whatever's happening there, the world needs us as star seeds to, you know, to really hold that high vibration. And for that, we need to breathe, we need to come to center, we need to really ground ourselves, right? And that way we can keep that beautiful yin and yang balance going. Okay, so moving on to October between, that one's hard popped up right away. Mouse spirit tend to the small things. Okay. And again, this, I swear that I have shuffled this deck a million times, a million times. And I'm not pulling in sequence here, but this is, we have numbers 40, now 40, 41 and 42. So we'll see what the next one is. But let's see, have your, let's see what's here, I have your cards, there's no one's owner. Oh yeah, Marvita, I'm using three decks here. So like these cards, these skinnier ones, the rabbit, those are my cards. And the middle card is the animal messages deck from Susie Green. And then this one that I'm holding is a lovely deck by Colette Barrett Mead, it's a spirit animal deck from her. And these are lovely cards. So mouse spirit here, tend to the small things, absolutely. It feels like sometimes, you know, when a lot is happening, it's really easy to get really scattered and distracted, right? And sometimes we need to take time to just take care of all those little loose ends. You know, mouse is this wonderful, wonderful little gatherer, right? And so, especially in the emotional body here, you know, just gathering together, you know, taking care of all the little things, it can really help to relieve anxiety. Like, I just went through a whole phase of this, in the last couple months, like taking care of all my book work, you know, I'm working on cleaning up the house, all that stuff. If there's a lot going on either in your life or in the outside world, it can really, really help to make sure that all the little details are taken care of. And sometimes we need to just set aside time for that. So I'm going to put that here. Again, like this is all emotional self care here on this western side and the in the autumn. So then we can move on to the last quarter of the year. And again, we're starting this year in February to be a little bit more in alignment with the season. So this last quarter will be November, December, and then the following January 2024. And I just feel for the cards and then shuffling there. Okay, Beaver. That would explain why Mao is saying to get your affairs in order. Beaver is really about getting down to business. And so this is the card for November industry financial responsibility. It has a lot to do with also devotion. And because Beaver is not just industrious for the sake of doing stuff. It really is, it does everything it does for the sake of the family, right? So, you know, family issues coming up perhaps in November, of course, we're heading into the holidays at that time of year. But remembering why we do things. You know, if you're, if you're doing work for your business, remembering, you know, business gurus always talk about the big why, right? You know, remembering why. What's, what's your purpose? And it may be, you know, to support your family. But there's always, I think for Star Sea, it's going to be a bigger why too, right? You know, what's, what's your, what's your legacy for the earth? What's your legacy for humanity itself, right? Keeping that in mind as we do our little tasks, right? Because Beaver is also about the very physical tasks. You know, that, that will also help keep your mind focused. Because remember, we're working with the mental energy here in the wintertime. Mental health. So, and sometimes we've done a lot of self care throughout the year. And a lot of going within, which looks like it could be a potential for a lot of Star Seeds. It is helped it will all kind of moves into action and taking action into that physical world, right? So we, we have these phases. All right, so for December, see what card wants to, this one feels like it wants to come forward. Oh, okay. I love this card. It's Bebun. I think this came forward last year in the annual reading as well. And I always find it a really just a funny card, but he says in love and declarations of passion, heartfelt communication is the key. I think that fits really, really well with the Beaver card, because Beaver is about industry, right? And so it feels like this coming like next winter could be a really great time for getting your business going or getting, you know, whatever it is that you want to get going in your life, you know, moving that forward. But Bebun reminds us here to do this with, you know, in the spirit of love, because sometimes when we get down to business, it can, it can get a little bit grating, right? It can be a little bit, a little bit intense sometimes. So we want to make sure that we, he keeps the channels of communication going, keep the love going, rainbow bottom, absolutely. So, you know, keeping the rainbow in mind for everything, even, even those kind of things that we don't want to always show the world. Right. And then we have the last card is actually going to be moving into 2024. So just doing that segue, spider spirit, make your dreams real. I think that is an awesome close out here to this year of 2023, because that is actually the core of what I'm feeling for 2023. This is the year where it's, it's, it's really, we're cutting to the chase, you know, keeping in mind that we are building a new beautiful golden age. This is the very, very beginning of it. And even as, as the old age crumbles, we've got this new age coming up. We are star seeds. We are seeding that in. And we are creator beings. We are creating this new energy here. And, and so spiders like, okay, make it real. That's what we're here for. How's your 2022 so far? Yeah, I mean, it's, it's, it's all kind of coming together here. Right. Thank you for lighting fires. Yeah. I mean, that's what we're here for. We're here to light each other's fires, right? Like we all have our own inner fire. We are souls of fire, right? And coming to earth here to spread these beautiful fires of healing. And, and, you know, I think there's a lot in this whole spread about going within and having that inner awareness. And, but ultimately, it's about bringing it out into the world, right? And so for you as individuals, some of us, we're all at different places on the journey. Like for me, I'm more feeling like this right now is, you know, it's time to, for me to go out and take it into the world. But you know, there's, there's still a lot of that self awareness and stuff that still needs to happen throughout. All right. So then I'm going to pull an angel card here for each of these seasons, just to kind of seal it in and then one for the year as a whole. Okay. So for the spring season and the physical body, think of these as, think of these as blessing cards, blessing our physical bodies, blessing the whole spring season. This is the card of fulfillment. And as you look at this, like we're in a washing machine, yeah, I agree. This is a great card for that too, because it's, it's full of water. And remembering that whatever is coming forward, right? This, this, this year, this whole year, yeah, it can feel like a washing machine sometimes. It can feel like we're, you know, tossed this way and the other way and all that stuff, right? So look how she's looking into the future. Look how she's got that vision. You know, that's where it starts as a vision. And so whether you're healing the emotional body, the physical body, having, tuning into that feeling of fulfillment, that feeling of appealing, we can tune into that no matter where we are and, and cultivate the vision, cultivate the vision of what a healed existence feels like. And when we hold that feeling throughout, that's when it really supports everything into coming into being. And yes, it is a beautiful card. So fulfillment for that spring and the physical body. I love it. So let's see another card here. Shuffle these angel cards. Again, blessing card for summer season. How far you have come. Yeah. Honor, how far you have come. That's so important, right? So, so important because like, there's always that little critical part of her mind, right? That's like, oh, it's, we're not, it's not enough. It's not enough. I'm not there yet. I'm not there yet. And sometimes it's really, really beautiful to take a look back, right? Take a look back, you know, two years ago, one year ago, 10 years ago, and, and you'll see the transformation. And then you can project that transformation into the future. Absolutely. So the path is endless. Absolutely. The path is absolutely endless. So it's important to remember that because it's, you know, it's good to look into the future and have aspirations. We need to do that because that's part of this whole journey, right? Important part of it, but also looking behind. I think that also tunes into this elephant card of ancestors, right? And sometimes honoring how far you have come. It also connects with the ancestors and allowing them to support you. Yes, life is absolutely miraculous. Blue butterfly, similar from the spinner. Absolutely. Okay. So next card for the autumn quarter, divine light work. All right, divine light work. I think that that kind of says it all, doesn't it? And also remember, I was just getting this feeling for that whole fall that is so, so important for us as star seas to hold the light to hold that vibration. So it's no wonder that this card is coming forward because, you know, we are, and also I'm getting just like, we're there for each other, right? So as we do the divine light work for ourselves, if you, if you work with other people for other people, also, you know, remember that that is also working for the whole collective of humanity. Every time, every time there's a healing, it heals the all, right? It heals all of us and helps to bring healing into the world. So again, we're here for, and then we've got one more quarter for the mental body and the winter season. We all do share the same light, absolutely. Okay. The flow of abundance. And again, I'm feeling this really is going hand in hand with these cards that came up, Beaver, the Boon, Spider, they're talking about actual real heavy duty manifesting and really bringing stuff out into the world. But remember, this is not only that winter season of this coming year, but it's also the mind, right? So remember that creation begins in the mind, right? So that mental body is happening throughout this entire year of 2023, the more we really focus on healing, focus on the light and focus on, you know, what our gifts are, right? Remembering, yeah, feel it absolutely. And that's going to bring in this flow of abundance, right? We are the vehicles for that. We put that right there. And then one more card for the whole of 2023. Let's pick a good one here. An angel blessing card 2023. And these, by the way, I'm going to break it out on whose cards these are, but I'll add it to the Oh, I love it. Okay. Oh, how sweet of you. A lot of wealth in 2023. Well, it's really, really more about a collective wealth, right? Bringing wealth into the world. But thank you. Forgive. Forgive. I think this is a card that like, I wouldn't have thought of it. But oh my gosh, they are so right, right? There's such the message because that's really comes to the core of it, right? Of all, all healing, right? Forgiving is to release, you know, attachments to suffering, attachments to, you know, things that are, you know, things that people have done to you or whatever. And it doesn't mean forgiving does not mean to just let things happen. It doesn't at all, right? And I think to truly forgive, we need to take our power back. But it's part of taking the power back is, is releasing those grudges and attachments and feelings of, of being a victim, all that stuff, right? So it's kind of keep that in mind for the whole of 2023. And there we are. There we go. So thank you all so much for joining me. Again, if you would like your own personal annual reading, I have a link to that below. I'll put a link to my cards there. If anybody's interested in those also forgive ourselves. That's huge. Absolutely. Forgive ourselves. That's where I start. Really? Right? It's hard to forgive anything if you can't forgive yourself. Releasing heaviness, absolutely. So thank you all. Thank you. Thank you all for being here. I'm really looking forward to 2023. I think it's going to be an amazing year, especially for star seeds. You know, it's a year that we can come together, that we can really hold that beautiful high vibration. The world needs it so much. It needs you so much. So many, many, many blessings for the coming year. God bless you as well. And remember, you were born to be free.
