| Oracle of the Roses by Cheralyn Darcey |
I used one of the suggested spreads in the guide for this oracle set. It's called "The Modern Rose Spread," and it focuses on the week ahead. It asks to identify the positive energies and challenges around you, who and what particularly needs your attention, and what you should learn from the events of the week.
I found this reading to be very insightful when overlayed with my plans for the week. I am pleasantly surprised by how much information I was able to apply to things that are already in motion. Each draw of the reading meant something very specific to me in my current situation.

Challenges, expression, justice, equality, creativity

go of what isn’t working and create a new path and new goals that are
achievable and good for you.

friendships, communication, meditation, persausion
Deities: Themis, Artemis, Iustitia

afraid to ask for help/support from your friends and family when it comes to
your plans for self-improvement. Having yourself around longer and being
healthier and happier will not only enrich your life but the lives of those
around you. Doing good for yourself is also benefiting the greater good. Ask
questions that you need answered and listen to the answers. Take the advice to
heart and make the needed changes.

for yourself. You may not get immediate relief or needed/wanted results, but do
not give up. You know yourself and what you need. Do not let others brush aside
your concerns as trivial.
The Seeker – Mrs. Robert Peary
Rose

identity, freedom, motivation, discovery
Deities: Adiona,
Khonsu, Neptune
Astrological Sign: Taurus
Interpretation: When we are
setting about making big changes, especially within ourselves, it is easy to
overlook the small successes in the race to reach the final goal. Take time to
celebrate those small moments of achievement. They are milestones showing you
are doing what you need to do. Focus on small goals every day and eventually those
small goals will add up to your bigger overall goal. All successes are important
in order to not become discouraged or distracted along the path.
