I quickly learned that a weekly oracle reading wouldn’t be possible with juggling my day job and multi-platform content schedule—but hey, I tried! I can only ask my online avatars to do so much. 🤓
And then, I learned a new oracle reading that I think is a better fit for this Wheel of the Year theme I’m leaning into in 2024. The spread is called The Month Ahead Oracle, and since we haven’t yet moved fully out of Yule and into Imbolc, this reading is from one of my favorite decks, the Seasons of the Witch Yule Oracle.
Here’s how this reading works:
- Pause four times, or take four screenshots as the video below flips through the cards.
- If you draw the same card twice, keep drawing until you’ve drawn four different cards.
- Write down the order in which you drew the cards, or save the screenshots to your phone, noting the order in which they were drawn.
- Card one is the card to consult for the next week in your upcoming month ahead; card two is for week two; card three is for the third week; and yep, you guessed it: the fourth card is for the final week in your month.
- Even though I did this reading in January of 2024, it doesn’t matter when you do this spread. You’re meant to experience this oracle whenever you discover it, whether in January 2024 or June 2028.
See below for the cards and their meanings.

Card Meanings
👸🏻 Mother Mary: A Gentle Whisper of Wisdom
Be still, dear one. You are safe and guided.
Whether it’s from within, a spirit guide, or a human in your life, it’s time to slow down, seek wisdom, guidance, and a hug! Know that you will always have a Source of wisdom to guide you; all you need to do is ask. Rest in that Knowing and in that warm embrace.
🐿️ Squirrel Medicine: Crafty Endings, Clever Beginnings
Such a perfect card for new beginnings!
Get strategic. Plot and scheme. Gather your resources and be prepared for when opportunities come knocking over the next month. Be ready for when life brings something delightfully unexpected your way.
🧙🏻♂️ Wise Men: Seeking Sage Advice
Now is the time to draw on your intellect and logic rather than emotions.
If you have someone in your life who’s strong, authoritative, and wise, it’s a good time to reach out to them for advice. Seek more connections with those who are older and wiser than you. It’s always a good idea to have sage counsel in your life.
🧘🏻♀️ Self-Care: The Art of Balance
Sure, a nice bubble bath and a good cup of tea are lovely, but self-care is about balance.
Do an honest inventory of what feels out of control or neglected in your life, and tend to it. Are your relationships suffering because you’re working too hard? Are you not allowing yourself enough time to play and be creative? Figure out where you feel incomplete and chaotic. Then, take some time to restore balance to those areas. It’s also a good time to do a good old-fashioned brain dump in a notebook to clear your mind. Clarity and focus do wonders for self-care.
I hope this Month Ahead Oracle helps you get intentional about the next four weeks and connects you even deeper to your intuition. Most of all, I hope this makes your day feel more magical. 🥰✨🖤 Please let me know what you thought of the reading in the comments below or on social media!
With love and magic,
