1. What does the energy of the world look like between now and Christmas?
Cards: Ace of Wands • Six of Swords • Seven of Swords
The Ace of Wands opens the reading with ignition: something new begins, erupts, or captures attention. “
“It suggests a catalyst rather than a passive continuation of existing conditions. The source could be political, “
“economic, technological, informational, military, scientific, or something else; the card itself does not identify it.
The Six of Swords then introduces movement away from troubled waters. This does not necessarily mean that every problem “
“is solved. It suggests transition, a change of course, relocation, withdrawal, negotiation, adaptation, or movement from “
“one configuration into another.
The Seven of Swords changes the tone by introducing information that is concealed, strategically withheld, or not immediately “
“visible. It can represent maneuvering behind the scenes, intelligence and counter-intelligence, private negotiations, “
“strategic repositioning, or people pursuing objectives they are not yet discussing publicly.
Taken together, the three cards suggest: something significant gets underway; circumstances begin shifting in response; “
“and important parts of that transition may not initially be visible.
2. Is the concealment ultimately better for humanity, or worse?
Cards: The Lovers (clarifier)
The Lovers is an intriguing answer because it is not fundamentally a card of secrecy. It represents choice, alignment, “
“relationship, union, and bringing two things into conscious relationship with one another.
Rather than saying that secrecy itself is good, the card suggests that there may be a reason for the separation between what “
“is known and what is not yet known, with the eventual movement directed toward a significant choice or alignment.
In this context, the hidden information may not be the final objective. The more important question may be what happens when “
“the information becomes relevant to human choices. The Lovers introduces a strongly human dimension: people deciding what “
“they believe, whom they trust, what they stand with, and what they are willing to join together around.
As an answer to whether the concealment is ultimately harmful, the card leans toward no. It suggests that the eventual direction “
“is more concerned with alignment and human choice than with harm.
3. What is our role between now and Christmas? Is there anything we should do more or less of, or become more involved in?
Cards: Five of Pentacles (clarifier)
The Five of Pentacles is practical and somewhat sobering. It does not suggest that ordinary people need to personally “
“solve the world’s larger problems. Instead, it points toward vulnerability, scarcity, hardship, isolation, and the tendency “
“to feel powerless when circumstances are uncertain.
The advice can therefore be understood as: do not allow the larger world’s uncertainty to convince you that you are powerless, “
“abandoned, or that everything is falling apart.
The card also draws attention to what is immediately around us. If the wider world is undergoing a complicated transition, “
“there will inevitably be people experiencing genuine difficulty. The appropriate response may be to maintain connection with “
“friends, family, neighbours, and community rather than becoming consumed by distant events.
There is also a practical resource-management aspect to the Five of Pentacles. It can favour prudence with money and material “
“resources, avoiding unnecessary panic and resisting dramatic decisions based solely on frightening headlines.
In short: stay connected, look after the people close to you, be sensible with resources, and do not allow uncertainty to “
“turn into fear or isolation.
Overall Pattern of the Reading
The reading forms a remarkably coherent progression:
· Something new ignites — Ace of Wands.
· The situation begins moving or changing course — Six of Swords.
· Not everything is visible or publicly disclosed — Seven of Swords.
· The eventual direction involves choice, connection, and alignment — The Lovers.
· Our personal role is to resist isolation and scarcity-driven fear while remaining connected and practical — Five of Pentacles.
The Broad Message
The strongest message is not that the period will be easy or that every global problem will be resolved. Rather, the cards suggest a period of movement and transition in which something new may act as a catalyst, followed by changes in direction and some information that remains outside public view.
The Lovers provides an important counterweight to the Seven of Swords. The reading does not leave the story sitting in secrecy or suspicion. It moves toward choice and alignment. The Five of Pentacles then brings the focus back down to ordinary human life: maintaining connection, helping where help is needed, protecting resources, and refusing to let uncertainty become isolation.
A Simple Summary
Something new begins → the world shifts course → some things remain hidden → choices and alignment become important → our role is to stay connected, practical, and attentive to people who may be struggling.
Look at our role as this. Staying balanced and aligned, grounded and able to see through distractions.
Become the creator of the life and world you would like to live in!
