Welcome back, beautiful souls, to my Chaos Chronicles! Today I’m diving deep into a collective reading from my latest episode, “When the Past Knocks: Discernment, Divine Timing, and New Beginnings.” If you’re feeling pulled to read this, maybe it’s not a coincidence. As we journey through the highlights, insights, and gentle nudges of this episode, I want to offer the reminder I always share at the top: Take what resonates, leave what doesn’t, and always trust yourself.

Why Discernment Matters
Before jumping into the reading, I always like to kick things off with a powerful reminder about discernment:
“Take what resonates for you, leave what doesn’t, and trust yourself to know the difference in what’s meant for you and what’s not meant for you. This reading is timeless. It will find you when it’s meant to find you.”
If something in this reading lands, sit with it. If it doesn’t, no need to force it. My words are all about gentle guidance, not forceful answers. That’s such an important start for anyone interested in collective readings or oracle cards and tarot.
The Collective Spread: Overview
When I do my readings, I use a mix of decks and format where each card answers a specific question or unpacks a situation. Here’s how the cards rolled out for this episode:
Let’s dig into each one. Also, each deck is linked for those of you who love to collect oracle card decks like I do. Yes, the links are affiliate links.

Card One: What’s the Tea? “Wants You Back”
The first card out of my deck was “Wants You Back,” and I wasted no time unpacking it.
Is the Past Knocking?
The energy here is pretty straightforward: someone or something from the past wants back in. And no, it’s not just ex energy. Here are some possibilities I see in these situations:
-
An old flame or relationship
-
A former job, role, or work situation
-
Any connection you’ve already left behind
-
Something “not energetically done” — maybe a passion or project
But here’s the key: it’s external energy. You aren’t chasing after this; it’s showing up at your door.
Reflection Prompt
Pause and ask yourself:
Is there something or someone tugging at your attention lately from the past? Notice how you feel: excited, anxious, neutral, nostalgic?
Card Two: What Lies Beneath “Expecting a New Beginning”
For card two, I pulled “Expecting / A New Beginning.”
Symbolic and Literal Meanings
For a few, this card could be literal (think pregnancy or expecting energy), but for most, it’s about:
-
A spark of newness: Fresh chapter, reset, new energy forming below the surface
-
A fork in the road: An opportunity is brewing, but it doesn’t have to include whatever wants you back
“This new beginning does not have to be connected to whatever it is that wants you back. There’s an opportunity here to start something new.”
This makes me ask: Is my future tied to my past, or am I free to begin anew?
Card Three: What’s Blocking You “Fated to Be Alone”
Here’s a heavy hitter: “Fated to Be Alone.”
A Mindset Block
I immediately point to this one as a belief that needs challenging:
-
Thinking you’re “meant to be alone”
-
Assuming things won’t work out
-
Giving up on love, trust, fulfillment as a kind of self-protection
I say this attitude could be the very thing blocking the new beginning. It’s convincing, but not true.
Signs You Might Relate:
-
You find yourself pulling back from others to preemptively avoid hurt
-
You believe happiness or success “just isn’t for you”
-
You stop yourself from chasing dreams, relationships, or passion
“This belief may be the very thing blocking the new beginning trying to come through. That belief is not true, even if it feels convincing.”
Card Four: Clarifying Life Situations “Cavern of Secrets”
The fourth card: “Cavern of Secrets.” Instantly, my reading pivots toward introspection.
Be Still
This card is an invitation to:
-
Go inward
-
Be still
-
Tune out external noise
-
Sit with your own inner wisdom
“There’s hidden insight available right now, but it’s found in quiet reflection, not reaction. This situation isn’t asking for immediate action, it’s asking for awareness.”
Meditation Suggestions
-
Try a few minutes of silent reflection each day
-
Journaling: Free write your thoughts on what’s stirring beneath the surface
-
Mindful walks: Listen to your inner dialogue while moving through nature
Energy Forecast: Anxiety
This week’s forecast card: Anxiety.
Spiral Alert
I caution about upcoming mental spirals. Thoughts may race ahead of reality, pulling you out of the present moment.
How to Stay Grounded
-
Breathwork: Take a few deep breaths when stress hits
-
Sensation check: Notice how your body feels (cold, warm, tense, relaxed)
-
Observation: Anchor yourself in what’s real right now
I remind you:
“This isn’t predicting disaster, it’s highlighting where extra self-care and grounding are needed this week.”
Tips for Grounding Yourself
-
4-7-8 breathing technique
-
Body scans (notice your toes, feet, legs, etc.)
-
Guided meditation apps
Angel Signs: 222 Unity
My Angel Sign card is 222 Unity — a reassuring signal for the collective.
Season of Unity
-
Relationships improving
-
Stronger communities
-
Mutual understanding blooming
-
Possible reconciliations, collaborations
Connection is supported. You’re not meant to stay isolated.
“There’s alignment available here, not just reunion for the sake of familiarity.”
Spotting Angel Numbers
If you keep seeing 222, consider what part of your life is calling for union, harmony, or teamwork.
Timing: Divine Timing is at Play
Next up: Divine Timing. One of the hardest cards for planners and control freaks alike!
Let Go of the Timeline
My advice is classic spiritual wisdom: you can’t force outcomes or control schedules. Pushing for things to happen on your timeline can make you frustrated.
Trusting the Process
-
Let go of “when will it happen?”
-
Focus on staying present and receptive
-
Recognize that some things need time to unfold as they’re meant to
“Letting divine timing unfold allows things to happen in the way they’re meant to, without unnecessary struggle.”
Spirit Message: Back to the Heart of Who You Are
I wrap the reading with a Spirit Message: Go back to the heart of who you truly are.
Release Old Wounds
-
Look at your life in its entirety
-
Acknowledge old wounds, then release them
-
Use what you learned for added strength
-
Move forward with confidence, rooted in your authentic self
This is the emotional anchor for the entire reading.
“Mine your past pain for wisdom and strength. Move forward grounded in your authentic self.”
Self-Care Action Steps
If you’re feeling this episode, here are some gentle, practical steps to work with the energy I highlighted.
1. Create a Reflection Ritual
Set aside ten minutes daily to get quiet, breathe, and just notice what’s stirring inside you.
2. Journal on “What Wants You Back?”
List any people, jobs, old projects, habits, or dreams tugging at your attention. What do you feel about each one?
3. Challenge Limiting Beliefs
Whenever you hear “I’m meant to be alone” or any version of “I’ll never …,” gently challenge it. Write down reasons this might not be true.
4. Celebrate Connections
Reach out to a friend, join a group, or connect with a loved one. Honor the unity energy and see where it leads.
5. Practice Releasing Control
Remind yourself daily: “Divine timing is at play.” Trust, even when it feels slow.
Real-Life Examples and Inspiration
Here are a few scenarios where my reading comes to life:
Scenario 1: An Ex Reaches Out
Maybe someone from your past texts out of nowhere. What’s your gut response? Do you feel excited, resistant, or neutral? Let the “Wants You Back” message help you pause before you react.
Scenario 2: New Job Opportunities
A job you left years ago opens up again, or a project you let go of looks tempting. Remember the “Expecting a New Beginning” card — does this fit into your vision, or are you just drawn in by familiarity?
Scenario 3: The Lonely Mindset
If you catch yourself thinking, “I’m always the outsider,” sit with the “Fated to Be Alone” insight. Is it true, or is it just a protective story you tell yourself?
Scenario 4: Community Finding
During a tough week, you notice people rally around you, or new friendships bloom. Angel Sign 222 is everywhere: unity is in play.
Standout Quote
“Mine your past pain for wisdom and strength. Move forward grounded in your authentic self.”
Let this be your anchor as you move toward new beginnings!
