I’ve pulled a few tarot cards to offer you some cosmic guidance for your cash flow and career in the month ahead. Keep reading for your money tarot reading for the 2024 holiday season.

Map 1: What do you need to know about money this season?

When it comes to your financial life this holiday season, remember that you are the only person behind the wheel! The Chariot is about gaining momentum and steering things in your chosen direction. You have free will, so take your power and don’t leave your financial situation to chance.

When this map is present, it is important to make sure you are focused on a destination and have pulled up the maps to help you get there. Otherwise, you’re driving aimlessly, wasting time and fuel, right? So approach your finances this season with purpose. For example, if you’re shopping for gifts, avoid going to the mall without a list or fancifully browsing Amazon until you find something. Instead, plan out exactly what you would like to buy for people and give yourself some guidelines. You will feel much more in control of your bank account.

Map 2: How can you relieve some of your financial anxiety during the holidays?

The World is the final card in the Tarot Major Arcana story arc and symbolizes the fulfilling end of a meaningful journey. So even if you’re struggling to finish your end-of-year projects at work or get your holiday shopping done on time, consider it a happy omen that everything will turn out well. You’re likely to conquer the work responsibilities placed on you and, hopefully, you’ll also feel in a strong position with your vacation savings or budgeting goals. Even if things don’t turn out exactly as you imagined, trust that they are working for now. bestand try to feel pride and satisfaction in your achievements.

Plus, the World card is also, well, worldly! This should inspire you to think bigger and broader instead of focusing on the small things — which fits perfectly with the ambitious energy of Sagittarius season that reigns until December 21. Be optimistic, look at the big picture and aim for distant horizons.

Map 3: How should you approach your career and finances this holiday season?

Thanks to the presence of the Three of Wands, new ships are sailing into your port and exciting tax developments are underway this holiday season. It’s up to you to keep an overview of these situations, make sure you’re using your resources correctly, and take advantage of whatever happens. This card reminds you to take a step back and keep an eye on what’s happening in your bank account or your work activities, even if the hustle and bustle of the holidays makes you reserved and busy. This gives you the ability to anticipate any money or work-related problems and find ways to avoid them, promising smoother sailing.

Think about what is currently happening in your professional or financial life. Are you depleting your gift-buying budget too quickly? Are there any projects that haven’t been started yet at work that need to be started before your vacation? Now is your chance to assess where you are from a more objective perspective and make adjustments to avoid stress.
