Here is the collective reading for the fifth day of Yule, December 25, 2020: Christmas Day. This reading uses a Yule tarot spread from @lunarhavenmystic.

Where have you grown this year? The Empress.

The Empress urges you to live as passionately as she does. Love your partners, all children, the earth, and yourself. Live passionately, kindly, and with unconstrained feeling. We have all grown to appreciate the small blessings we have taken for granted: hugs, smiles and the company of friends.  Loving each other may take more imagination in our current circumstance but it more important than ever.

What lessons were learned this year? Nine of Swords.

If you have made it this far this year, you have learned to deal with previously unimaginable amounts of stress. Pat yourself on the back for getting this far. Appreciate your hard work and resilience.

What mistakes were made? The Wheel of Fortune.

The Wheel of Fortune is here to tell you that the situation is out of your control. The circumstances of life are always changing, and after this change, they will change again. There may not be any direct reason for your fortune or misfortune. If we made one mistake at the beginning of this year, it was overestimating what was in our control.

What to release for the New Year? The World.

Let us release all aspirations for perfection. Let us pledge that, in the New Year, we will not be so determined to seek perfection, closure and tidy resolutions. They will continue to elude as anyway, best to accept that from the beginning.

What to focus on going into the New Year? Five of Swords, reversed.

Compromise. It is better to be peaceful than to be right. Surrender ego, rigidity and spite and focus instead on forgiveness, acceptance and peace.

Message from the Holly King. Three of Cups.

Think of your friends this year. If you turn to them now, you will likely find the compassion and support you have been looking for. It may be the case that you have been neglecting your friendships due to the life stresses we have all encountered in 2020. Well, cut it out! Your pals are important, appreciate the hell out of them.

This is a reading for a lot of people, so please use your intuition to apply it to your situation.
