Generosity card in Sonya Shannon's Transformation Oracle

Generosity

Share your riches freely & accept help when you need it. Giving to others helps us feel in control. But receiving? That’s another story! Most of us can be generous.

Forgiveness card in Sonya Shannon's Transformation Oracle

Forgiveness

The past cannot be changed. Release old grudges and free your heart. The chart on page 65 of the Guide Book shows that FORGIVENESS comes long after we start our journey in the EARTH element.

Rest

Loosen your grip and let yourself relax. You’ve been overdoing it. Stop burning the candle at both ends and take a break, or your health, work, and relationships will suffer. If fear is driving you, it is time to trust that the Universe is not going to fall apart if you take time off. Your [...]

Contemplation card in Sonya Shannon's Transformation Oracle

Contemplation

Protect your embryonic idea through silent meditation.

Discovery

Dig down. Become aware of what’s been there all along. Generally when this card turns up, some previously hidden or obscure information about our family or community is coming to light.

Descent card in Sonya Shannon's Transformation Oracle

Descent

Step down from ways that no longer support you.
