What do you most need to hear right now?
A collective reading for the weekend 💫
Hey everyone! Just a reminder that soon (the Spring Equinox) these Friday readings will be for paid supporters of The Sacred Path only.
If you love this place and want to support, consider a full membership:
Hey fam,
This is a reading that I hope brings you some insight and clarity.
You found it, it found you.
And now we’re all here.
If you’re unfamiliar with collective readings, they’re a lot like Monday’s pick-a-card, but instead of 3 small readings it’s one big one where I read on behalf of whoever happens to find this message.
The question I asked while shuffling: What most needs to be heard right now?
If you’re a previous tarot client, you’ll be familiar with this spread as my go-to Path spread. It’s a spread I devised years ago, and I find it to be really helpful for answering nearly any question people ask.
The Path also includes a closing Oracle deck message. I like to think of this as the unifying theme or final message, depending on how the reading goes.
Feel free to use this yourself. I like to wait until the tarot portion is finished before I flip the oracle, but do whatever feels good.
Here’s the breakdown:
Card 1: Acknowledgement of Place (where I’m at right now or an energy to embrace going into the reading)
Card 2: Threshold or Portal (I must walk through)
Card 3: What I Will Encounter
Card 4: Possible Outcomes
Card 5: Guides (messages to help me on this path)
Plus, the oracle in the middle.

Your Message
Card 1: Acknowledgement of Place
Temperance
You’re currently standing in a space of balance, even if it doesn’t feel that way. Temperance shows that you’re being called to bring harmony between opposites (powerful and relevant right now!), blending energies in a way that promotes personal peace and growth.
Right now, it’s important to remember that even the smallest efforts toward balance have their value. You might be finding—or you might find—equilibrium in unexpected places, so trust that things are aligning.
Card 2: Threshold or Portal
Strength
The challenge ahead asks you to move forward with resilience, inner strength, and the ability to face your fears with compassion.
This isn’t about brute force, but the courage to embrace vulnerability and persistence.
As you step forward, think of Strength as the energy that pushes you past resistance—both external and internal—toward a place of greater confidence and self-empowerment. The vibe, friends, is to find your core, your center. The YOU behind the you.
Card 3: What I Will Encounter
King of Wands
You are also being called to step into your leadership and take charge with clarity and boldness. The King of Wands brings dynamic, fire-like energy, asking you to harness your vision and inspire others with your actions.
Be the flame. Set the example.
This energy will empower you to be decisive. It leads you down your truest path.
Card 4: Possible Outcomes
Knight of Wands (rx)
There’s a call to slow down and reassess before charging ahead.
The Knight of Wands reversed signals a time to reconsider whether impulsiveness or burnout might be at play.
Notice where you’re drawing energy from, this is important.
While enthusiasm is good, be mindful not to race ahead without checking your path. This outcome asks you to find a balance between excitement and caution, as wild emotion-filled passion without direction may not lead to the fulfillment you’re seeking.
Card 5: Guides
Knight of Cups (rx)
This guide invites you to reevaluate your emotional boundaries and motivations—are you acting from a place of truth or fantasy or fear? Ground yourself in self-awareness and emotional clarity to guide you through taking action.
Knight of Swords
Be courageous in your thoughts. Explore what moves through your mind, but keep things moving forward rather than falling into a zone of dwelling and ruminating.
Special Note: What the Three Knights Represent
The appearance of all three knights in this spread carries some weight. Together, they suggest a need for swift movement, but also a deep awareness of what drives you emotionally.
Awareness. Then forward movement. That’s the game.
The Knights represent different facets of your journey: the Knight of Wands embodies passionate pursuit, the Knight of Cups brings emotional depth, and the Knight of Swords calls for mental clarity and decisive action.
Their presence together indicates that in order to move forward in the most aligned way, you must balance these energies, ensuring that they work in tandem instead of pulling you in conflicting directions.
Aaaaand, we’re back to Temperance. If you’re lost, begin again with balance.
The Oracle
Here’s the fun part: The Oracle ALWAYS blows my mind. I mean, WHAT.?!
“Finding Balance”
I don’t even think I need to chime in here.
Take a few minutes and write down what’s coming up for you. Revisit it this evening or tomorrow morning or whenever you’re reading this, wait half a day.
Final thoughts
As always, lemme know if this landed for you, if you have questions, or if you loved or hated it. I enjoy hearing from you.
To a beautiful weekend!
xo,
Natalie
