Here’s your 2022 reading with oracle cards and tarot. Pick a card pile, six cards in-depth year ahead reading for spiritual guidance and divine messages. Plus, discover your personal crystal companion for the year ahead…
The purpose of this reading is to give you some guidance for the year ahead. My intention is to bring through what you need to hear to better navigate the year, grow, overcome inner obstacles, manifest and align with your life purpose.
The General energy of 2022
In numerology, 2022 carries the general vibration of the number 6. This universal year number is all about responsibility, family, home, relationships and love. Relationships with friends, family and the community come into focus. Find the balance between your needs and that of others. For more info on numerology cycles and your personal numbers I highly recommend The Numerology Guidebook.

Pick-A-Card 2022 Reading
I have chosen six different decks, both oracle cards and tarot. Each reading will have six cards (one card from each deck) plus a support crystal for you. This is a pick-a-card reading so you will choose which card pile you are drawn to and get a more personal reading.
The Oracles & Tarot Decks I Used
All the oracles and tarot decks I worked with are listed below. I’ve also linked them below if you want to learn more about them. They should also be available from all good book shops and metaphysical shops too.
Gateway Of Light Activation Oracle
My Crystal Oracle Cards
Those of you who read my recent blog post, know that I have made my own crystal oracle cards. They are still top-secret for now but I’m using them in these readings to select a personal crystal for you for the year. I do this every year for myself also, I will carry or wear the stone throughout the year and believe that it will help you too.
CELESTITE Is The Crystal Of 2022
In addition to the personal crystals below, this year I have also picked a card to find a crystal to support all of us in 2022. This crystal is another stone that you can benefit from during the year if you wish to work with it.
The crystal for everyone who reads this in 2022 is Celestite. This icy blue crystal can be helpful in finding your higher path and purpose. Celestite assists those that need to trust the process more and believe that there is a plan for their life. This crystal can be used to connect you more closely with your angels and guides. It is also a good touchstone for finding your inner peace when things get hectic.
You Have The Power
Remember, cards offer guidance and possibilities based on where you are now. You’re in charge of your own life and destiny and responsible for the choices you make. Readings are not much help if you don’t use the guidance in your life.
I recommend you use a holistic/manifesting planner to take action and have the best chance to achieve your goals. My recommended planners can be found here.
How To Pick Your Cards
Below, there is a photo of the three card piles for the 2022 reading. Before you choose, take a few moments to centre yourself. Close your eyes and take a few deep breaths. Get focused on your intention to receive the best guidance for you for the year 2022.
TIP: Trust your initial attraction to one of these card piles, this is your intuition speaking. The mind/ego makes you second guess things.
Get Your 2022 Reading…
After you have picked the card pile (see above), scroll down to the number below and get your reading.
CARD PILE 1
Shambhala Initiation
This card is all about retreating when needed. Sometimes we need to take a step back to understand things or to find the answers we seek. You don’t need to be busy all the time. Watch you don’t fall into the trap of being busy but not getting anywhere.
You will get your answers and find your direction if you take a break this year. This will also recharge your physical and spiritual energy. When you come back you will be stronger and able to accomplish more. There’s a huge opportunity for spiritual growth and gaining clarity about what you are here to do if you do this.
Archangel Roquiel
You are being called to serve the planet this year. What this looks like will depend on you. This could involve sending healing to the Earth or helping clean your local beach for example. What’s important is that you are doing something that will help others, the planet or humanity in some way.
If you are trying to manifest something or change your career path, think about how what you want to do will help others. This should be a big part of your focus in 2022. By contributing to the collective you will be a light to others.
Take A Break
Do you see how this fits in with our first card? Even the sky starry purple matches. This is a strong message for you. If you are overworking or doing too much then you will need to make some changes. There may have been a sense of not seeing the results you expected but your higher self wants you to realise that this all takes time.
You are in this for the long hall. Sometimes even our passion projects need a rest. Creative energy needs to settle before it gets moving again. When you finish a project, avoid jumping into the next one straight away. Rest, celebrate and rejuvenate. Don’t feel guilty about taking a break.
Six Of Spring
This is a very auspicious card. This shows that you have the opportunity to achieve success with anything you put your mind to. You can reap the rewards for the work you have put in this year or from the past. What you are doing will be appreciated and gain recognition.
You are encouraged to be proud of your accomplishments. Don’t shy away from success or hide your work or creations. Visibility is needed. Share your success and happiness with others to attract more of it.
Bluebell Fairy – Gratitude
A big thing for you this year is the power of gratitude. This could mean keeping a gratitude journal or thinking of three things you are grateful for every day. If you’re already doing a gratitude practice then this is confirmation for you to keep going. Always make sure you ‘feel’ it when you do this.
Get into the habit of being grateful for the little things. Gratitude is like a magnet that attracts more of what makes you feel good.
Two Of Swords
This card can show up when we need to make a decision about something. Make sure that you don’t allow indecision to slow you down. Is there already something that you have been thinking about, that you know will improve your life? What are you trying to avoid? Use your alone time for self-reflection and make sure you are not allowing fear of change to hold you back any longer. If in doubt, gather as much information as you can.
Your Personal Crystal For 2022
The crystal that will support you throughout the year is Aqua Aura Quartz. Great for empaths, this gemstone helps strengthen your aura against negative energy. It is particularly good in stopping others from trying to influence what you think or believe is possible. Aqua Aura is also a psychic stone that can be used to help you develop your psychic senses.
🔮 If you want to learn more about any of the decks I have used, you can check them out at the links above.
CARD PILE 2
Earth Star Activation
It is vital that you stay grounded this year. Connecting with the energy of the earth will not only be good for you but also help anchor your spiritual insights. Whenever you feel ‘off’ or confused try to get out into nature. Be close to trees, plants, grass, rocks, hills or mountains. This will recharge your energy and bring clarity.
Also, make sure you back up any manifesting or spiritual work with action. You will need to take action in the physical world if you want to see meaningful results. This card also indicates that you have a connection with Isis or could consider working with her.
Archangel Sandalphon
The Archangel Sandalphon is working with you this year to help you get your message across. Delivery is just as important as the message itself. If you want to communicate to the world, it needs to be carefully thought about so that people understand.
Sandalphon also works with the earth star chakra. This confirms your need to ground and anchor this year. Use grounding before any spiritual practice to get the full benefits. Make sure your spiritual beliefs are backed up with walking your talk.
Trust The Niggle
Do you find that you second guess yourself sometimes? Perhaps you doubt your intuition or struggle between the head and heart? This year make a conscious commitment to trust your gut feelings and intuition.
There may already be something that you have been feeling but have not acted on yet. What is your spirit trying to tell you? You already know what to do inside. The longer you ignore the niggle, the more it keeps coming back. This is usually a big sign that this is the right direction for you, rather than just your mind.
Seven Of Autumn
This card shows up as a message to have patience. You may have felt that things are not happening fast enough or not at all. Your guides want you to know that this downtime is all part of the process. You have been in a building cycle, the time and energy you put in this year will pay off.
If you are unable to take action, you should use the time to plan your next steps. Plan, research and prepare for your success! The harvest will come when the time is right. Autumn looks like a significant time of year for you to see things manifest.
Bluebird Spirit – Happiness
The bluebird is a sign of your potential for creating true happiness this year. You must put your wellbeing and happiness first. How much of what you do is about pleasing others? Are you feeling it’s time to move on but fear change?
It’s time to spread your wings! Review what is and isn’t working for YOU. Then begin to make changes that are more in alignment with your needs and desires. The winds of the universe will support you.
Ace Of Cups
Another positive card for you. The ace of cups is a sign of spiritual and emotional fulfilment. This card can indicate a new friendship or a relationship this year (if you’re looking). Make sure you take advantage of opportunities for this or they could pass you by. Just like the last card, seek out what makes you feel happy and good. Following your bliss helps you find your purpose and will allow everything to flow a lot better into your life.
Your Personal Crystal For 2022
The crystal that will support you throughout the year is Carnelian. This orange stone has many benefits. It will help you stay motivated and find the momentum you need to reach your goals. Carnelian helps supply you with steady energy but is also an empowering crystal. You can also work with it for enhancing creativity and to support any creative projects you are working on.

CARD PILE 3
Stellar Gateway Activation
Your stellar gateway chakra connects you with the divine universe. This showing up indicates that your manifesting ability is increasing. You may already be noticing the connection between how you feel and think and your reality. You have great power and potential within you. Be mindful of where you are focusing your energy this year.
Focus on what you want to manifest and what you want more of in your life. This card also indicates that you have a special bond with ancient Egypt and the pyramids.
Archangel Mary
The archangel Mary shows up for you as a guide. She will be working with you on opening your heart space. This may involve having compassion for people from your past or in your life now that have hurt you. What needs to be healed? Who do you need to forgive?
You’re not forgiving their actions. It is just releasing the old energy which weighs you down and keeps you stuck. If you manage to let this go, you will allow new things to more easily enter your life.
Trust Your Path
Before you stands a portal or doorway that represents the potential of the year if you choose to move forward. You can now better align with your purpose and mission in this lifetime. It will take some faith and trust to do this though.
Trust that you are divinely supported as you take guided action. Keep facing your true north. Don’t pay attention to the ego or nay-sayers who don’t want you to grow. Take things one step at a time and follow your heart.
Three Of Winter
This card ties in with your angel card. The three of winter shows up because you may have gone through some sadness or disappointment in 2021 or perhaps you’ve been feeling hurt by someone’s words? You are being encouraged to talk to others about this and not keep it bottled up inside.
Healing takes time but please talk to a trusted friend or family member. This will help you process and release some of the energy so you can move on from it.
Air Spirit – Knowledge
This is your boat to new beginnings. The air spirit card signals a time of learning and understanding. This is not the time for impulse decisions. Do research first and weigh up the pros and cons so you can make the best choice for yourself.
Whenever you get stuck or don’t know the way just do more research. Sometimes answers come through others but sometimes from within. Just make sure that your decisions come from a place of wisdom. Ask yourself, is this a wise decision?
Ace Of Wands
There’s a fire inside you and you’re ready to go after what you want. Your willpower is strong and so is your ambition. As long as you work on yourself and release the past you can move forward and achieve your dreams. Your creative vision is powerful this year. Follow your creative interests and passion. Don’t ignore or delay any inspirations that come to you.
Your Personal Crystal For 2022
The crystal that will support you throughout the year is Moss Agate. This green and white stone will assist you in growing your finances. Moss Agate tunes you into inner and outer abundance. It teaches you to nurture your projects and goals to create the life you want. This crystal helps you develop the patience you need for manifesting.

Thank you so much for the reading and Crystal details. So so helpful and resonate with me completely.
I bought your grid guidance book and am so happy with it.
Thank you so much for all the information and guidance you provide.
Much much appreciated.
Happy 2022 ❤️
Thank you for the feedback Ruth and for getting my book! Happy new year
It’s strange how getting the same reading from different sources (my usual oracle, your reading from different cards and another one I used) gives me the same suggestions…
Isis was mentioned twice, staying grounded, etc… everything is guiding me in the same direction
Thanks for this reading
PLEASE NOTE – Hi guys, if you don’t follow me on social media, you may not know that I am taking a short and much needed break from social media posting and anything work related. The blog post and newsletters are going out as scheduled but I will not be replying to emails, DMs or comments till the new year. Thank you for understanding. Take care and enjoy!
I picked pile 3 and it feels very accurate. Some of the things I have already started and will continue in 2022 resonate with the reading. It reassures me that I am on the right path. It is also reinforcing other ideas I have had for the new year as well.
Always love it when that happens
Thanks Ethan. My reading seemed accurate for me and inspired me to buy the lovely Gateway of Light Activation cards.
Good, it’s a really unique oracle
Thank you for this, Ethan! I offer a monthly Choose 1 of 3 Card Reading on YouTube and always enjoy checking out other readers’ choose 1 readings. I appreciate all of the background you provide, including on the decks you’re using. Looking forward to signing up for your newsletter and…I chose 3! Great reading and beautiful cards! Thank you, and blessings for your 2022!
Thank you so much for your wonderful readings! Mine is so spot on with everything I’m working on now and it offers amazing advice so I can keep doing what I want to do. I actually printed the reading and put it on my planner to have the guidance with me.
Much blessings to you! Hope you have a wonderful year and thanks so much!
I’m so glad, a great idea to put it in your planner!
Thank you, Ethan! I chose pile 3. My sweet husband passed into the light in 2020. So, last year was definitely a struggle…he was a Navy veteran so..my boat to new beginnings was definitely a nod from him to carry on and get my work done here. Here’s to a successful 2022 – a 6 year and my lifepath number. Always lots of synchronicities these days. Sending much light.
I’m so glad that the cards had personal meaning for you
Hello Ethan and thank you for sharing your gifts!
I drew card pile 3 and cannot find information online about Archangel Mary. I’ve read about Jophiel & Seraphina being Archangels, depending on the link…I’m not sure what’s what. I was hoping you could shed some light on my question!
Thank you so much for your time!
Diana Copper’s deck and books include many new and non-traditional angels. I have not heard of this one before but she seems to be the angelic aspect of Mother Mary to me. The guidebook says shes the divine counterpart of Archangel Raphael, her etheric retreat is Lourdes, France…
Mr. Lazzerini–I’m speechless at this moment and I hadn’t imagined that PILE 2 would relate to me on the level that it has. I’m somewhat new to the crystal’s therefore I really don’t understand they actually work. Although I have been experimenting some with 2 different decks for a little over a year now (Universe*oracle cards) & (The Rider-Waite* tarot cards) truthfully though to me I seem to understand the reading somewhat better whenever I’m not the reader itself. I have had plenty tarot card readings however, I haven’t actually spoke to a psychic for any length of time but I wish I could’ve especially imagining the techniques someone that talented possibly had is remarkable. What advice could you give me when it comes to interpretating a reading? My biggest issue is not knowing whether I should go with my intuition all the time or worrying it’s a second guess. Thank you for allowing me to read your article can’t wait to read more!!
Everything takes practice but finding the right deck is also important. I use a combination of head and intuition. I interpret based of what I know about the situation and then allow my intuition to connect the dots. As I read meanings, some pop out at me or make sense others don’t. The same with the images, I look at what the image is trying to show me plus see which symbols catch my attention.
I just wanted to express my gratitude with the readings you provided. This was again another sign from the divine as I received the same type of readings from other sources. I’m always astonished when it happens and love to see the connectedness in all things. A bit about choosing my pile…from the top picture I choose pile 3. Then as I started to scroll down I was drawn to the green crystal above pile 1 and thought about possibly choosing that pile but remembered reading your tip about not second guessing. To my surprise, the crystal you put on the pile 3 reading had the same crystal I was draw too lol. I also ended up buying the moss agate crystal you suggested. Thank you again Ethan.
Glad it was helpful and thanks for the feedback!
#3 for future recalling continued inside.
Thank you so much Ethan. Your dedication and teaching/healing energy put forth and extended assists the greatest good. You are appreciated and I hope that you are in good spirits.
