5 Card Reading with the Jade Oracle
Posted by Veronica Iglesias on Mar 25th 2020
The divination with the Jade Oracle is based in the Ancient Mexican way to relate with the Cosmos. Each time that a spiritual leader was leading a ceremony he/she created a sacred space that honored the four directions with an altar and different elements related with each direction. Also she/he positioned him/herself facing the east.
The five card reading of the Jade Oracle is based on this ancient tradition and on the cosmic conception of what is to be human.
To do a five card reading: 1) shuffle the cards, and 2) pick five cards that will be placed in this order:
Card #1, located in the center, represents you as you are in this moment.
Card #2, located above #1, represents the east. In ancient codices, the east was above, relating to the orientation of human beings relative to the universe. This direction shows you what is in your immediate future, what you will encounter on your path.
Card #3, located below #1, represents the west. This is the past, what is behind you. It can refer to the end of a path or cycle or something in your life that is coming to a close. It may also refer to ancestral wisdom and deities that are helping you.
Card #4 is located to the left of the center. This represents the north, the direction of the ancestors, providing valuable information for personal insight and growth. This card indicates aspects of your personality that are currently challenging for you; the north shows your reflection in the obsidian mirror, the dark side of yourself that is difficult to see.
Card #5, located to the right of center, is the south. This direction is your connection to your destiny and your mission as well as to the things you enjoy in life. This card will give you information on your career and areas in your life that you would like to explore.
The Jade Oracle brings you answers that offer insight and understanding to help make decisions with a greater knowledge of the underlying currents in your life, always with the intent for deeper personal insight and self-knowledge that will help you on your life path.
I hope you enjoy your personal reading and the information will support and illuminate your path.
