Trust the Mystery – A Tarot & Oracle Reflection on Surrender and Expansion
Tarot and oracle card reading featuring The High Priestess from the Starchild Tarot Akashic deck alongside four Rose Oracle cards: Open, The Breathing Rose, Temple of the Rose, and The Great Mother.
My Confession: Tarot Reader, Not a Master Shuffler
Even as a professional tarot reader, I have to admit—I’m not great at shuffling cards. Some days, my hands shake more than others (it’s genetic, no need for concern). And yet, I love large tarot and oracle decks. In a way, I’m stacking the deck against myself (pun intended). But isn’t that part of the lesson? Leaning into what is, instead of resisting?
And today, the cards actually jumped out of the deck to share their wisdom.
Today's Tarot & Oracle Message: Trust, Healing, and Surrender
This reading carries a powerful message about trusting your intuition, embracing healing, and surrendering to the unknown. Here’s what came through:
🌙 The High Priestess (Starchild Tarot Akashic)
A reminder to listen to your inner voice. The answers are already within—you just need to trust them. The High Priestess also reminds us that we can be. Just be. And still receive. Or perhaps, receive more.
🌹 From Rebecca Campbell’s Rose Oracle:
Open – Say yes. Expand through extremes. Trust life.
The Breathing Rose – Heart healing. Emotions. Connection. Time eases.
Temple of the Rose – Ancient power. Expression. Activation. Scarlet codes.
The Great Mother – Surrender to the mystery. Fall into her arms.
✨ This spread encourages us to trust the process. Healing and transformation don’t come from force—they emerge when we allow ourselves to open, feel, and surrender.
This reading is a journey through expansion, vulnerability, and deep self-trust. Open invites us to embrace the full range of human experiences—the highs and the lows—without retreating in fear. Life is not meant to be controlled or micromanaged; it’s meant to be lived fully, with a heart that is receptive to both the beauty and the challenges that come with growth.
The Breathing Rose reminds us that the heart, much like a rose, unfurls in its own time. Healing doesn’t happen on demand or on a set schedule; it happens when we soften, allow, and make space for our emotions rather than resisting them. If you’ve been feeling raw, emotionally exhausted, or uncertain, this is a sign that you are exactly where you need to be—because true transformation often feels tender before it feels powerful.
The Temple of the Rose calls you to step into your own voice and unique expression. This is not a time to dim your light or doubt your worth; instead, it’s a time to embody the wisdom you’ve gained through your experiences. You are powerful beyond measure, and the world needs your truth.
The Great Mother appears as a final message of reassurance—letting go does not mean losing control, it means choosing trust over fear. Surrendering to the unknown is not passive; it’s an act of profound faith in yourself, the universe, and the unseen support guiding you forward. If you’ve been feeling like you need to have all the answers before moving forward, this spread gently reminds you: you don’t. Trust, soften, and allow yourself to be held.

Key Takeaways: Trust the Mystery and Flow
This reading is a potent reminder that growth and healing don’t happen through force or control. They happen when we allow, soften, and trust. Whether it’s in your personal life, spiritual practice, or business, the universe is always working behind the scenes. The more we surrender, the more we receive.
Many of us have been conditioned to believe that if we just try hard enough, we can force things to happen on our timeline. We push through exhaustion, ignore our inner nudges, and chase goals from a place of scarcity rather than flow. But this reading reminds us that the most profound growth happens when we learn to trust the process, rather than trying to control it. When we stop resisting what is and start leaning into what could be, we create space for the divine to step in.
Surrender is not about passivity or giving up. It’s about actively choosing to release resistance and align with your highest good. It’s about understanding that not everything is meant to be figured out right now, and that’s okay. When you give yourself permission to trust, you naturally step into greater alignment. Your intuition speaks more clearly. The right opportunities, clients, and solutions start appearing effortlessly. The weight of overthinking, over-planning, and second-guessing begins to lift.
If you’re feeling stuck, consider: Where are you still gripping too tightly? Where can you practice trust? Let today’s reading be an invitation to breathe, to soften, and to allow yourself to be supported—by the universe, by your guides, and most importantly, by yourself. The magic you’re looking for isn’t out there—it’s within you, waiting for you to say yes.
💫 Today, let’s embrace the mystery. Let’s trust that life is unfolding exactly as it should.
