Happy New Year!
Today’s letter is an extra special one.
It includes this spread outline that you can save if you’d like, as well as a 3-card look at your year ahead.
I thought the Art Nouveau deck and its golden shimmer was the perfect, glittery New Year’s vibe.
Today’s spread
If you enjoy this format, it’s something I do regularly on the paid Friday posts each week.

Take a little time with this, if you can.
If you’ve already started planning and journaling for the year ahead, this is a great addition to contemplate and work with.
Dive deeper
Finally, I’ve opened up my 2024 calendar with a BUNCH of new zoom dates. If you’d like to work with the cards on a more personal, in-depth level, zoom readings are a great option.
Zoom sessions are 45 minutes and also include a photo of your spread and detailed email follow up afterwards for your notes.
Feel free to send me a note if you’re curious about a reading but still have questions.
Okay, that’s all I have for you.
May your 2024 be the best year on this wild planet yet! 🤍
xo,
Natalie

3 cups, ace of cups, & 10 of pentacles (hot damn!)
This combo features some incredibly positive energy. If things are going pretty good for you right now, then let the good times keep rolling!
If not, you have the opportunity to embrace some major abundance this year. But that, of course, is entirely up to you.
to release:
If you’ve been hitting the parties pretty hard, or having one too many glasses of vino with Netflix every night, this is your sign to make some changes to this habit.
If it isn’t alcohol, take inventory of what might be a bit excessive in your life and try to make some plans to balance things out.
to be grateful for:
Who did you meet this year or who has become a person in your life that you deeply appreciate? Take some time to recognize this relationship, new or old.
It’s also a great time to appreciate everything you’ve created recently. Whether it’s cooking a meal for people you love or making something that felt good (music, art, photos, etc), take a moment to give thanks for the muse in your life.
to explore or embrace:
How can you live your life this year with abundance?
Even if you feel like you’d like more, 2024 is all about soaking up the amazing things you already have in your life.
Consider prioritizing and normalizing the enjoyment of what you already have. For example, instead of shopping, notice your absolute favorite things you love to wear and enjoy them.
It’s about embracing the incredible abundance that surrounds you every day. Warm showers, good food, a cozy bed, etc.

Strength, 7 wands, & 7 of pentacles
This year is all about embracing what you do best rather than striving to be something your not or feeling like you’re not enough.
to release:
It’s time to let go of self doubt this year.
What are your strengths? What can you do well?
There is only ONE of you, and there is something (or many things) that you do better in this world than anyone because it has your spin on it.
Kick negative self-talk out of your life in 2024.
It may take some time to adjust if you’ve been really hard on yourself, but start by noticing when you’re down on yourself. Each time you catch yourself, jot it down and follow up with something kind you can say about yourself.
When you see it all laid out in a note on your phone or on paper after a few days, it’ll be clear what you really need to let go of this year.
to be grateful for:
Even though it’s not so much fun when it’s happening, this year is about appreciating the challenges in your life that have made you wiser and stronger.
When more challenges appear—and they always will—take up an attitude of gratitude and remember that you can decide if these things are happening to you or for you.
to explore or embrace:
It’s a year of being patient, dear reader. This means trusting that if you’re listening to your intuition and showing up as your best, things are moving in the right direction for you.
Remember, how you do one thing is how you do everything. So the best you can do is your best.
From there, just trust.
You don’t dig up seeds right after you plant them, do you? Give yourself and your goals some time to grow. Do you best day by day and see what happens.

9 cups, the Hanged Man, & 4 pentacles
This year is about changing your mind and your actions when it comes to abundance. Sometimes a tiny shift in perspective and habits can change everything.
to release:
Where do you find yourself feeling dissatisfied the most? Likely, that thing just popped right into your head.
This year is about releasing whatever that is: a bad feeling towards someone, a lack of something you want, etc.
Instead, release. It sounds simple and it actually is simple. Trust that by forgiving and blessing things and moving on, you’ll be making room for something even better.
to be grateful for:
You have the incredible gift of being able to change your mind. Mindset governs every single thing in your life.
You’ve heard that your thoughts become things, right?
It’s true.
Be appreciative of all of the things in your life that you like and love because, congratulations, you had a huge hand in them being there.
to explore or embrace:
This might be the year to really make things happen in your life by making some plans, especially financially.
You can’t change your life without changing something you’re already doing, right?
If you’d like to see more travel, or a new home, or whatever comes up for you in the abundance category, it’s time to make a plan.
Discipline is freedom. Don’t feel like you’re boxing yourself in by creating some boundaries and structure on the path to your goals.
It’s those boundaries that will get you there. You’ll see.
book a reading for 2024!

everything is confidential, and I won’t identify you in any way unless you give me permission to share. Sometimes I’ll share pictures of the cards themselves, but that is in no way linked to you unless you want it to be
this is NON-predictive, meaning you have full agency and responsibility. I’m not predicting the future, merely guiding you to make better decisions and see things in new ways
these are FUN! Sometimes people cry, or laugh, or both
