December’s Elemental Medicine
What is this Elemental Medicine business?
Thank you for asking me that question! Elemental Medicine is a revamped offering of mine, it is an oracle card forecast that seeks to answer the question, “What medicine do I need to navigate the month ahead?” The Elemental part of the medicine speaks to the various zodiac signs (Earth, Water, Fire, and Air). Each month, I’ll be pulling a card for each of the four elements and channeling a message for them. If you’re subscribed to my mailing list, you already have this in your inbox right now! I do offer a more detailed Monthly Medicine for all 12 (tropical) zodiac signs for $5. You can get your pdf of that here. All members of my private group, The Lavender Field, get the Monthly Medicine as part of their membership. You can join the Lavender Field here.
Deck Used: Okana Oracle Shadow Deck
Water Signs (Scorpio, Pisces, and Cancer)
Possess: The shadow is behind you
Welcome to December, dear Water signs! Your medicine this month came in the form of Possess. This month I felt called to go the shadow card route. The shadow element of this card speaks to the presence of entitlement, selfishness, and harboring negative energy. This month you are being reminded to be mindful of when you are taking more than you give. This behavior can manifest as always seeking to gain something for as little input as possible from our fellow humans, or simply always putting yourself first in any and every situation. That selfishness extends to your ancestors too. This card suggests that you’re treating your people like a vending machine, except you aren't putting any coins in. This may all be unintentional but this card asks you to take stock of your spiritual and physical interpersonal relationships and make sure you’re giving as much as you desire to take.
Fire Signs (Sagittarius, Aries, and Leo)
Harmony: Where there is life, there is hope
Welcome to December, dear Fire signs! This month I felt called to go the shadow card route. The shadow element of this card suggests a struggle w/being hopeful and optimistic. This card suggests that you are experiencing a time where your spirit is disharmonious w/your surroundings, and instead of focusing on what you can do, you have lost hope. It suggests that you have given up. Your ancestors recognize the dejection manifesting in your heart and they are telling you to work with the joys you can experience, even if they are small. Cultivating these small joys gives you the chance to plant a seed of contentment, that you can water and harvest during these trying times.
Earth Signs (Virgo, Capricorn, and Taurus)
Wicked: One who sows the seeds of hatred will see their children harvest the fruits.
Welcome to December, dear Earth signs! Your medicine this month came in the form of Wicked. This month I felt called to go the shadow card route. The shadow element of this card suggests that you currently have no balance between the light and the dark and you aren’t striving to. This card suggests that you are currently out of sync with the importance of maintaining balance. This card more than anything is a call to action to assess why you have made the spiritual decisions you’ve made and how they’ve panned out for you thus far. Understand that total balance at all times is unrealistic, but trying to maintain a semblance of it is key this month. If you have been too deep in your negative bag, hop out. If you have been heavy on the love and light, stand UP. Balance is the key.
Air Signs (Libra, Aquarius, and Gemini)
Confide: All things are good to eat, but not all things are good to say
Welcome to December, dear Air signs! This month your medicine came in the form of Confide. This month I felt called to go the shadow card route. The shadow element of this card speaks to involvement in gossip or feeling overwhelmed by the knowledge of being gossiped about. This card suggests that you or someone you know may have been involved in gossip. It could be the one streaking it or that you were the topic of conversation. If you found yourself the topic of gossip, tighten up. Take stock of what you may be sharing and evaluate if you have a leak. Do not obsess, simply be mindful. If you are the one doing the gossiping, the action is even more simple - mind yours lol. Tend to your own garden and don’t spend time commenting on weeds in someone else's field.
with much love and in the Spirit of further, faster, stronger, and sillier:
