This is a card from one of my Oracle decks that either doesn’t come up often when I’m doing readings, or it will come up almost every time I do several readings in a day. We all hope to start fresh, to have our version of a “do-over.” I find it odd that most of the time when I do readings, while none of my clients are related or even know one another, their readings are very similar. It’s an indication of a couple of things. Many of the people sent to me by the Universe are in the phase of their lives where they get to start over. They will soon make decisions that may affect this section or season of their lives. I think of it as a version of the Wheel of Fortune in the tarot. Things are changing, decisions need to be made, and here’s the chance to get it right, make it right, or make it stick. Whatever they feel they need to do.

The funny thing about doing readings and getting many of the same cards is also an indication to me. Readings don’t only apply to the person sitting in front of me. They may also be a message to me. New Beginnings could be about some life-changing decision, but it may also be about something small but still important. It often says that I need to look at something from a different angle. Trying to see something with “fresh eyes.” It helps me to keep everything in perspective and not allow my imaginings of what “could” happen to throw me off the proverbial cliff, gripping tightly to my assumptions.

If you’re reading this, it might also be a message to you. Think about what it could mean for you. Are you working on giving yourself a new beginning, or is it something you hope will happen soon? Now is the time to think about it. It could also be that you are getting ready to facilitate someone else’s new beginning. You could be the person that helps someone else to begin something new. This is especially true if you are a teacher or helping coach someone.

Give it some thought and allow yourself to wonder if a new beginning with something or someone might be what you need. It could be a new job or hobby. It could also be a positive turning point in a relationship. That relationship could be with yourself.

We could all use a “do over” now and then. The past has taught us that if we had the chance to do some things over again, we might have made different choices. We now know more than we did before, and if a similar situation arises, we may find that the first time around was the better choice and make the same choice again, or we may choose differently. As long as we understand that we are always doing the best we can at all times and give ourselves the gift of grace when we don’t show the best of ourselves, we can always take the time to allow ourselves to begin again.
