GUIDEBOOK - The Sacred Wheel: A Universal Map of the Soul

The Sacred Wheel • The Oracle Compass • Journeys of the Heart

A Universal Map of the Soul - The Sacred Wheel  •  The Oracle Compass  •  Journeys of the Heart

Behold the Sacred Wheel — where Angels, Mothers, Mystics, and Sages gather in the Four Directions,

and at the center, the Axis of Light shines as three eternal flames.

This is the temple of remembrance, the mandala of the soul.

Step within, and the path of your heart will reveal itself in reflection and light.

 

Journeys of the Heart is more than a series of reflections — it is a sacred mandala of 50 archetypes, drawn from angels, divine mothers, mystics, sages, and ancestral voices. Together, they form a multicultural circle of wisdom, guiding us through the universal journey of the soul.

Each archetype speaks as a living presence: part story, part symbol, part invitation. When woven together, they create a wheel of remembrance — a compass of light to walk with in daily life.

 

The Central Axis (Axis of Light • Heart of the Wheel • The Fifth Direction)

At the center of the wheel stand three archetypes — the eternal axis that connects heaven and earth, seeker and source:

  • The Seeker – Traveler of the Path (you and I, the soul in motion)

  • Melchizedek – Eternal Priest of Light (the teacher and initiator, bridge between realms)

  • The Divine – Source of All Light (the One, the eternal flame at the center of all)

This central triad represents the Axis of Light — the vertical bridge and sacred heart of the journey. It is the “fifth direction,” the still point where all paths meet, the flame around which the 50 archetypes gather.

 

The Scrolls of the Four Directions

  • East – Angels & Guardians of Light
    (Vision • Protection • Illumination)
    Here we meet the archangels, radiant beings of guidance, clarity, and divine presence. They bring courage, protection, and insight — helping us see with the eyes of light.

 

  • South – Divine Feminine Currents
    (Compassion • Rebirth • Sacred Creation)
    Mothers, goddesses, and holy women embody the nurturing, rebirthing current of creation. They restore wholeness, bless with compassion, and remind us of the sacred power of life.

 

  • West – Mystics & Healers
    (Transformation • Mystery • Sacred Traditions)
    Prophets, teachers, saints, and elders walk the path of initiation and healing. They guide us through shadow, transformation, and the mysteries that deepen the soul.

 

  • North – Poets & Sages
    (Wisdom • Flow • Eternal Truth)
    Poets, philosophers, and visionaries remind us of timeless truths. They invite us to listen for beauty, to live with wisdom, and to rest in the eternal ground of being.

Oracles & Reflections

Each archetype will live as a card, carrying its voice, message, and invitation. Readings will draw upon the four directions and the central axis, creating spreads that mirror the soul’s path:

  • Angels for vision & guidance

  • Feminine for compassion & rebirth

  • Mystics for transformation & healing

  • Sages for wisdom & truth

  • The Axis for the seeker’s place in the great unfolding

In its current form, this blog is a beta version of the oracle — a living library where you can explore each archetype, one by one, and begin to receive their guidance in your own reflections.

 

Astrology & the Sacred Wheel — Two Maps 

The circle is the universal language of wholeness.
Both astrology and the Sacred Wheel use it to help us see our place in the greater pattern of life:

Astrology offers a Cosmic Blueprint — the map of the heavens imprinted on your soul at birth.
It reveals your unique design and purpose.

The Sacred Wheel offers an Oracle Compass — a reading of where your heart is right now in its cycle.
It shows what is rising, what is setting, what is rooting, and what is guiding you in this moment.

Astrology & the Sacred Wheel — Symbolic Parallels

The Sacred Wheel → The Solar System

The Sacred Wheel is like the entire solar system — vast, complete, and timeless.

  • Each archetype is like a planet or celestial body, holding a specific energy, role, and mythic story.

  • The four directions are like cardinal points in astrology: East, South, West, North — similar to Ascendant, Midheaven, Descendant, IC.

  • The center (Love / Spirit / Unity) is like the Sun, radiating Divine light and anchoring everything in harmony.

The Sacred Wheel never changes — just like the positions of planets in the solar system are steady in their orbits.
It’s the eternal framework, a universal map of archetypes and cycles.

 

The Oracle Compass → Transits

The Oracle Compass is like a transit chart, a living snapshot of right now.

  • It shows where you are in your journey today, revealing which archetypal energies are rising, peaking, releasing, or integrating in your life.

  • Each card you draw acts like a transiting planet, illuminating what’s active in your soul’s story.

Example: 1) Drawing an Angel archetype in the East position = like a new Mercury transit bringing insight or vision. 

2) A Mystic archetype in the West = like a deep Pluto transit urging transformation and release.

 

How They Work Together

  • Sacred Wheel = Natal Chart:
    Your birth chart — your core design, soul contracts, and eternal archetypes.

  • Oracle Compass = Current Transits:
    A reading shows the present moment, the cosmic weather you’re navigating and how it interacts with your eternal design.

In readings, you are the Seeker standing at the center of the Sacred Wheel — the still point of love and unity — watching which archetypal “planets” are moving closest to you right now.

Both remind us that life is a circle — a journey of : Beginnings, Growth, Release, Wisdom and Love. 

Together, these systems help us walk between worlds, rooted on earth and guided by the stars.

 

Defining the Sacred System

Now that we’ve explored these symbolic parallels, let’s clearly define the roles of the Sacred Wheel, the Oracle Compass, and Journeys of the Heart within every reading.

The Sacred Wheel provides the structure.
It is the mystical framework — a universal mandala of archetypes and directions reflecting the natural cycles of life, death, and rebirth. This living map of remembrance connects roots and stars, past and future, the seen and unseen.

The Oracle Compass offers movement and direction.
It is the navigational system of the Sacred Wheel, brought to life through original spreads that mirror the soul’s path.
The Compass acts as a spiritual guide, revealing where you stand in the present moment: what is rising with new beginnings, what is growing with passion and purpose, what is releasing or transforming, and what love unifies it all at the center.

Journeys of the Heart is the sanctuary of voices across time and culture.
Each archetype becomes a card, carrying its unique voice, message, and invitation. Each guide is a mirror, each message a light, each invitation a step on the path of remembrance — bringing clarity, healing, and insight to your journey.

There are seven positions on the Sacred Wheel, each offering guidance along the soul’s path. A reading reflects the natural rhythm of the sun and the seasons, shining light on your journey.

a space where the unseen becomes visible
and every symbol opens a doorway to the soul.

 

With love,

Lyra Sage & Solara
