“At the still point of the turning world, there the dance is.”
— T.S. Eliot
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 final 2025 card to guide us for the week ahead is 48. Willow Spirit – FLEXIBILITY
2025 is a year for pattern breaking, deep healing, mysticism and new directions.
2026 is a profoundly intuitive and creative year, encouraging adaptability and flexibility, and new beginnings that are practical and sustainable.
December is a month for Transforming Your Art – the way you show up in the world, your creative self expression, your career, and the way you communicate. It’s a great month for intuition, inspiration and creativity, and for planning the year ahead. December is also a month for celebration, reflection and connection.
January brings a sacred pause – a time for deep reflection, rest, healing, planning, and an invitation to commit to doing life differently in the year ahead.
🌿Monday Oracle: The Pause Before the Path
As we arrive at the very end of 2025, the energy softens, gently inviting us to stop — just for a moment — and breathe.
Our guiding card for this final week of the year Willow Spirit – Flexibility teaches us that strength does not always come from pushing forward. Sometimes, true strength is found in the ability to bend, to rest, to listen, and to respond with grace rather than force.
This week is not the start of the next chapter.
It is the pause before the path reveals itself.
🌙 Closing the Year That Was
2025 has been a year of pattern-breaking, deep healing, mysticism, and new directions. Many of us have been stretched, reshaped, and asked to let go of old ways of being. It has not been a light year — but it has been a meaningful one.
As this chapter closes, Willow Spirit reminds us that integration matters. The growth of the past year needs space to settle into the body, the heart, and the soul. Without that pause, we risk carrying exhaustion forward instead of wisdom.
✨ Standing Between Worlds
There is something liminal about this week. The old year has not quite released us, and the new year has not yet stepped fully into view. The veil between worlds feels thinner, quieter, more permeable.
You may notice heightened intuition, vivid dreams, sudden insights, or a sense of being gently accompanied — by ancestors, loved ones who have crossed over, guides, or your own deeper knowing. This is not accidental. It is an invitation to listen rather than act, to receive rather than strive.
If messages come, let them come.
If nothing comes, that is also perfect.
Silence, too, is a teacher.
🌿 Rest, Renewal, and Energetic Truth
This week is a powerful time to notice what drains you — and what restores you.
Where does your energy leak away?
What leaves you feeling heavy, tense, or diminished?
And conversely, what replenishes you? What brings softness, clarity, or quiet joy?
Willow Spirit asks you not to judge these answers, only to notice them. Flexibility begins with honesty. When you know what nourishes you, you can begin to build a life that supports your energy rather than depletes it.
🔮 Preparing for What Comes Next
December has been a month of Transforming Your Art — the way you express yourself, the way you communicate, the way you show up in your work and your world. That transformation doesn’t need to be finalised this week. It only needs to be honoured.
January brings a sacred pause — a deeper invitation to rest, heal, and plan with intention. And 2026, waiting quietly beyond that pause, is a year of intuition, creativity, adaptability, and sustainable new beginnings.
But before the path appears…
There is this moment.
This breath.
This stillness.
Let yourself be here.
🌟 Top Tip of the Week:
Don’t rush to decide what’s next.
Instead, give yourself space to feel what’s true. Notice what drains your energy and what replenishes it. Flexibility begins with awareness — and awareness grows best in stillness.
Crystals to support you this week – Amethyst, Moonstone, Smoky Quartz, Kombaba Jasper, Clear Quartz, Opal
🧁Nicole Update
Christmas was a relaxing affair. Christmas Eve lunch with family, and then Christmas Day at home, revelling in the peace and solitude. Amidst swims and naps. It was heaven!
Here at the Treehouse, this week feels like a true in-between space. The year is winding down, the days are warm and heavy with summer air, and the nights feel quieter somehow — like the world itself is exhaling.
I’m letting myself slow more than usual. Listening to my body. Sitting with my cards and my Planners (2025 and 2026). Paying attention to dreams and half-formed thoughts. I’m resisting the urge to “figure everything out” before the year ends, and instead trusting that clarity will come when it’s ready.
If you’re feeling reflective, tender, tired, or strangely hopeful all at once, you’re not alone. This is a potent, liminal time, and I’m holding you in my thoughts, prayers, and meditations as we prepare to step gently into what comes next.
Wishing you a wonderful week, with moments of quiet just for you. Thanks for sharing the journey with me.
All my love, Nicole xx
