Trust Your Inner Compass – Monday Oracle 17 November 2025

 

“You are a powerful point of consciousness. A bright particle of light within the Greater Light. Be brave, be wise, and always trust your gut.”
― Anthon St. Maarten

Hello, Lovelies!

This Quarter I am using the The Sacred Forest Oracle by Denise Linn, illustrated by Scott Breidenthal, for my weekly oracle readings. 

Our card to guide us for the week ahead is 12. Dragonfly Spirit – CHANGE

2025 is a year for pattern breaking, deep healing, mysticism and new directions.

November is a month for Transforming Your Home and Community. It’s a great month for renovations and those touches that make a house feel like a home, for spending time with the people and community groups that you love, and for embracing action and activism, especially if that’s moving you closer to your dream life. Practice gratitude and giving back. Be open to offers of help too!

🌙 Monday Oracle: Trust Your Inner Compass

This week, the Universe calls you inward – toward your intuition, your truth, and your deepest knowing.

There’s clarity waiting to rise from within you, if you’re willing to slow down and listen.

It’s a powerful week for realignment, for recognising what (and who) feels right for you, and for gently stepping back from what doesn’t. You don’t need to force or fix anything; simply honour what your intuition is already telling you.


🌿 Listening to Your Inner Guidance

When we’re busy or overwhelmed, it’s easy to forget that our intuition is always speaking – softly, through feelings, sensations, synchronicities, and dreams.

This week, your inner wisdom is louder than usual. You may get sudden clarity about a relationship, project, or opportunity. Red flags may become impossible to ignore. Green flags, those moments of warmth, flow, or excitement, will light your way forward.

The more you trust yourself, the clearer your path becomes.


✨ Aligning With What Feels True

Notice where your energy expands and where it contracts.
Where there’s tension, fatigue, or unease, there’s a message.
Where there’s ease, inspiration, and peace, there’s alignment.

This isn’t about judgment – it’s about truth.
You’re simply noticing what resonates and what doesn’t, so you can make choices that support your wellbeing and growth.


🌙 Messages from Spirit and Guides

Your spiritual support team, ancestors, guides, loved ones, are close this week. Pay attention to the signs: songs that speak to you, numbers that repeat, sudden memories or dreams that bring guidance or comfort.

You’re being gently guided toward decisions that will serve your highest good in the months ahead. Trust the synchronicities. Trust yourself.


💫 Reflection Prompt

Where is my intuition guiding me to move closer, and where is it guiding me to step back?


🌿 Ritual: The Red & Green Flag Journal

  1. Draw two columns in your journal: one for Red Flags, one for Green Flags.

  2. Write down anything that’s been feeling “off” or draining lately; people, projects, patterns.

  3. Then list what feels expansive, exciting, or soothing.

  4. Ask yourself: “What can I shift this week to create more green-flag energy in my life?”

Trust what comes through. It’s your soul showing you the way home. 🌙


💛 Closing Thought

This week, may you have the courage to trust your instincts, the grace to release what’s misaligned, and the faith to walk boldly toward what feels true.

Your intuition is your compass, and it never leads you astray. 🌿


🌟 Top Tip of the Week:

Your intuition is your compass – trust it.
Notice where life feels light and easeful – that’s your green light.
Notice where you feel drained, tense, or uneasy –  that’s your cue to pause or step back.
You already know what’s right for you; your body and energy will tell you.
Trust what you feel. It’s truth speaking softly. Believe in yourself!

😊 Nicole Update

It’s been a week of storms, rain and wild weather here at the Treehouse. Perfect for writing, meditating and inner work. At the start of each day, after meditation and before my workday begins, I’m getting to know my new story heroine, Genevieve, as she navigates the unexpected crap that the Universe can throw you in midlife. My latest wordcount is 32 720 words, and I still have no idea where she’s taking me. I fully expect that most of the first part of this manuscript will get the chop, or be massively edited, but it’s what’s helping lead me into the heart of the story, so I’m okay with that. Also, I am loving the bright fierceness and tenderhearted wonder that can find us later in life. That there can still be so much LIFE to live in your fifties and beyond, messes, fresh starts and all.

(If you want to hear more about my writing, come join me on my new Facebook Page –  Nicole Cody Writes I’d love you to follow me there. I also have a new Instagram account with the same name.)

I’ve also been happily wrapping planners and malas and bracelets and moonstone palmstones and extra little goodies from my Etsy store. All the links are below. Come check it out.

There’s one other thing I’ve been doing too.

Thinking. 

A lot.

I had intended for 2025 to be my ‘Quiet Year’, but instead it turned into a year of brutal but necessary health regimes. So, maybe next year might have to be my ‘Quiet Year’ – a year of deep spiritual journeying, slow living, and space for healing, growth and new directions.

And I’m thinking that might be a great journey to share. So, stay tuned. Because, if you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, disconnected or a bit flat, maybe this could be good for you too.

If you want more help tuning in to the red and green flags in your life, you might find this post useful:

Wishing you a week of clarity, discovery and positive action.
Sending love, light and really big hugs, Nicole xx
