How to Find Your Destiny in the World – Sacred Destiny Cards

We all long to find our destiny. Yet one of the greatest challenges is often a lack of clear connection with the Higher Self.

A consistent spiritual connection takes focus, energy, work, and regular practice to strengthen. It’s not always easy.

We are not all like Edgar Cayce, who gave over 14,000 readings in his lifetime.

Fortunately, Cayce shared some wonderful exercises to help deepen our connection to the Higher Self.

Learning to access the Akashic Records is one way to do this. Another is to work with a divination tool such as Oracle Cards—a beautiful and direct way to attune with spiritual guidance.

Find your destiny with the Sacred Destiny cards

Today’s eclipse energy felt especially strong and, at times, difficult to process.

In Human Design, Gate 51 is active during this eclipse, stimulating our heart chakras with the energy of The Jolt.

My own Human Design chart has an undefined heart center, so when transits temporarily define it, the experience can feel emotional—sometimes even heavy.

To work with this energy, I decided to do a five-card spread using Denise Linn’s Sacred Oracle Destiny Deck (a 52-card deck to discover the landscape of your Soul).

Below, I share my own reading, along with a few preparation hints to help you do this process yourself.
If you already have this deck, perhaps you’d like to find your destiny today too.

The Five Energies of the Destiny Spread

Each of the five cards represents a different aspect of your destiny:

#1 – Higher Self (you)

I like Edgar Cayce’s interpretation of the Higher Self. It’s your energetic connection to your Soul.

The Higher Self manages aspects of your spirituality, such as numbers and types of Spirit Guides.

You can strengthen this connection through regular spiritual practice.

If you’d like to understand your current level of alignment, my Soul Purpose Reading includes an assessment and practical recommendations for deepening your Higher Self connection.

#2 – Message from the Heavens

I like to think of this as the Midheaven (MC) in astrology — the point associated with your public path, calling, and visibility.

When selecting this card, you might invoke all four chart angles:

• Ascendant (Rising Sign)
• Descendant
• Imum Coeli (IC)
• Medium Coeli (MC)

Calling them in can anchor your reading in the full circle of celestial influence.

#3 – Message from the Earth

In Pranic Healing, it’s believed that energy flows from our bodies down through our feet into the Earth. These energies resonate with co-vibrational frequencies below us, creating manifestation and grounding.

Before drawing this card, invite in Earth energy—perhaps Divine Mother Earth, your favorite crystals, animals, birds, or insects.

#4 – Message from your Ancestors

Ancestors, or even Loved Ones who have passed in this lifetime, can give us powerful support when selecting cards.

Once they are at the Soul level, they act from unconditional love and higher awareness.

Invoking them before a reading can provide guidance and bring comfort. Ancestors connect with us through DNA, the Akashic field, and subtle memory, offering deep support as we explore our destiny.

#5 – Message from your Future Self

I first encountered this idea in a creative visualization exercise called teleology—the practice of perceiving events in terms of their purpose rather than their cause.

In NLP™ training, we visualized our Future Selves to gain insight and inspiration.

Try imagining yourself two to five years in the future (choose a timeframe that feels right). Then, pull your card while holding that vision.

My Find Your Sacred Destiny Cards Results

Center Card — Higher Self: Voyage (Humpback Whale)

This card represents me in this reading. The whale’s journey—the longest of any mammal—mirrors my own upcoming travels.

I recently booked the first leg of a long journey, so this feels like a direct confirmation. It reminds me to enjoy the voyage as much as the destination.

Top Card — Message from Heaven: Release (Autumn Light)

This card’s message is all about letting go. I’ve been considering a move, perhaps to a new town or even a new country.

The “Autumn Light” theme fits perfectly; I’ve been planning to list my home around August or September.

It also urges decluttering, which I’ve begun since my son left for college. As Denise Linn says, decluttering is modern alchemy.

Bottom Card — Message from the Earth: Opportunity (Moon Through Pine Trees)

I’ve always loved pine trees—their scent, sound, and symbolism of longevity and abundance.

As a child, the whisper of pine needles used to lull me to sleep. Recently, I even ordered pine essential oil to support a minor health matter.

This card reminds me to focus on gratitude and abundance. If I do move, I’ll look for pine trees nearby.

Left Card — Message from the Ancestors: Purification (Summer Rain)

The image features the Kansas state flower, where I currently live—a lovely synchronicity.

On one level, “Purifying Kansas” could be literal, but symbolically, it suggests clearing out stagnant energy.

It reinforces the guidance from earlier cards: cleanse, clear, and declutter to invite new energy and opportunities.

Right Card — Message from the Future Self: Inner Peace (Lily Pond)

I asked this card to reflect probabilities for the next two years.

As a Human Design Manifestor, peace is my signature state when I’m in alignment—so this card feels deeply affirming.

The lily pads symbolize rising from the mud into beauty and calm. After the challenges I’ve faced in Kansas, I’m ready for renewal and a peaceful new beginning.

This card also reminds me that Divine timing is guiding the process..

My Reading in Summary with the Sacred Destiny Cards

Lately, I’ve been feeling restless—wondering if it’s time to move on.

As an empty nester, the desire to start fresh grows stronger each day, though it’s not an easy decision with family considerations.

This reading reassures me that I’m supported by Spirit, Earth, and my own future self.

For now, I’ll begin by decluttering with purpose—making space for what’s next.

Hopefully, this gives you a sense of how to approach your own Find Your Destiny reading with the Sacred Destiny Cards.

Trust your intuition, work with your cards, and allow the guidance to unfold in its own time.
