“To experience peace does not mean that your life is always blissful. It means that you are capable of tapping into a blissful state of mind amidst the normal chaos of a hectic life.”
~ Jill Bolte Taylor
Hello, Lovelies!
This Quarter I am using the Queen Of The Sun Oracle by Stacey Demarco, illustrated by Kinga Britschigi, for my weekly oracle readings.
Our card to guide us for the week ahead is 39. BOUNDARIES (ECLIPSE).
2024 is a year for fresh starts, for creativity, healing and social connection. It’s a year for ambitious projects and for getting stuff done.
December is a month for dancing with the Universe, for letting your hair down, relaxing, celebrating, connecting, daydreaming about the future, and tuning in to your wise self. A good time to tie up loose ends. Rest and retreat where needed.
39. BOUNDARIES (ECLIPSE).
This week, you are invited to protect your peace, your wellbeing, your state of mind. Your intuition and Inner Wisdom will always guide you well, if you let them. This week, so many good things can happen for you, if only you trust yourself above all others.
Practice good boundaries for you and your space, practice good self-care, and honest self-reflection.
It’s a big week of psychic activation and personal realisations – and the information you receive may go against what other people want or expect from you. But honey, it’s YOUR life! You’re not here to please them, or to be validated by them. You’re here to be true to you, and to be the best, truest version of yourself that you can possibly be.
Trust yourself now. Do what you can to tune in to that wisdom inside you.
You’ve felt it before.
That feeling that draws you towards something. Or the feeling that makes you want to step back, say no, or run away.
That’s our intuition in action, and it’s something all of us have.
We’ve all had red flags. And sometimes we haven’t listened to them.
We’ve all had green lights. And sometimes we haven’t acted on them.
This week, guided by our own perception we will have the opportunity to make life-changing shifts, simply by honouring our intuition and saying yes to what feels right, and no to what doesn’t.
It’s as simple as that. But the power isn’t in the feelings you get that can guide you forward. The power is in you acting upon those feelings and that inner guidance.
My Top Tip For The Week Ahead:
Find some time to get quiet so you can tune in to your intuition. Before you make a decision, before you act on anything, stop. Put a hand on your heart. Take a deep breath. Let time slow down for a second or two while you listen to what your intuition says. Ask yourself if this is right for you. Honour what comes up and then be honest with yourself and others. Say yes, say no, or if you’re not sure yet, be clear about that too. Simple? Yes. Life changing? Probably!
Crystals to support you this week – Carnelian, Red Jasper, Amazonite, Bloodstone, Shiva Lingam, Serpentine
Oh, I found myself crying a LOT this past week.
Not over what you might think, either.
As most of you know I’ve had a couple of pretty miserable weeks of medical tests and new diagnoses, and now new treatment regimes to begin soon.
But that wasn’t what made me cry.
I was crying because of grief. At this time of year I’m always reminded of my friend Angela, who passed away in 2015 and who was the inspiration for what has become my Journeymaker’s Planner.
Goodness, I miss her. And when I’m working with the Planner I keep going back to her last days, and all of the regrets she had for putting aside the ‘living’ of life until she had more time, had made more money, and all the other usual excuses we give ourselves when we deny ourselves the pleasures of life because we are ‘too busy’. For Angela, suddenly, there was no more time, and all those dreams died with her.
I was crying for joy. So many of you have contacted me to tell me of positive life changes, or projects completed, or new directions begun as you have worked with the Journeymaker’s Planner.
Angela really hoped that by me creating the Planner and sharing her story, that her life could count for something even after she was gone, and it thrills me to know how many lives she has touched in beautiful ways since then. Thank you for sharing your stories with me and gladdening my heart.
I was crying because I was filled with awe and wonder at this world, and how precious life is, and how precarious too. None of us ever know how long we or a loved one may have, or when things might suddenly change in our lives.
Goodness, life is an amazing ride, isn’t it!
Have you started working with my Planner yet? How has it helped you?
If you’re new to my work and you would like to explore the Planner, I have provided free access to the digital copy of the 2024 Journeymaker’s Planner over in my free Facebook group. 
I’m running a Black Friday Sale until December 4, so there’s still time to grab a bargain, or to stock up on gifts for yourself and your loved ones.
Our 2025 edition of the Journeymaker’s Planner is now available at
Amazon USA – Hard Copy
Amazon Australia – Hard Copy
Nicole’s Etsy Store – Hard Copy and Digital Copy (printable and editable), plus lots of other goodies.
New content for our free course that supports the Planner is now live, the link for that is on page 2 of your Planner, and we’ll also have a free 90 minute webinar/masterclass in January 2025 (yes, it will be recorded if you can’t make it) for those of you who are working with the Planner. Details are all in the free course under ‘Special Offers’.
Come connect with me on Bluesky
I’m over on a new social media platform called Bluesky if you want to connect there. It’s what Twitter used to be, before Twitter devolved into the miserable mess that X is now. Here’s my handle: @nicolecody.bsky.social
I’mvenjoying hanging out and talking about all the things that make me me – like books and the environment and kindness and curiosity and dogs and cooking and the random stuff that’s in my head.
Magical Things
Have you checked out my Etsy store lately?
I put love and magic into every order – especially at Christmas time. I realised some time ago that for many of my community, my Planner and anything else they bought from me might be the only gift they received. So I make sure that if you buy from me I treat your order as if I was sending it to a dear friend or family member. I gift wrap your purchase, add a note, and a little something extra as a surprise.
Here are some of my latest reviews:
Ah, it makes me so happy to know that my little Planner is making a positive difference in the world.
Okay, I think that’s it for now. I’m off to have early breakfast with Ben at one of our favourite cafes.
Much love to you, Nicole xx
