Tuesday: First of two sixes this week and back with the air energy of the swords suit. Sixes in the positive aspect are about family, home and service while in the negative can be jealous and worrisome. They are also about balance, communication, equilibrium, harmony and problem solving, so, a lot to pay attention to via this list today. While in the air element we are being asked to allow ourselves to be lifted from the past and dream of a better future. A card of leaving ou

Sunday: Continuing with air energy we have the two of swords which is linked to the Moon in Libra. Libra is about balance, the Moon is about the dark and the light, while twos bring us cooperation, dreams and the feminine. Negatively there is meddling and sensitivity. It is a card of choices and decisions, about balance, duality and relationships. Do not be afraid to make choices, more often than not we are more uncomfortable in the not choosing than in making the perceived w

Thursday: Today is the day of the annular solar eclipse in Gemini starting at 09.12 GMT+1 = BST (British Standard Time) and will end at 14:11 hours. There is a 94% coverage of the sun by the moon visible for almost 4 minutes which can be seen by us folks in the northern hemisphere. https://www.theplanetstoday.com/solar_system_events_calendar.html Our card today fits with the energies of the eclipse and the planets at this time. Sometimes we find ourselves in situations of our

Wednesday: Do the ends justify the means? Today we have ‘the dark angel drawing his sword’. The Shadowscapes Companion book says of this card that it is: ‘. . . a sign of discord and conflict of interests. The choices arrayed make it easy to profit and look to one’s own concerns, for it feels the world is allied against you. Perhaps a wider view of the world might eclipse this feeling.’ Fives are of activity, change and versatile in the positive while in the negative aspect

Tuesday: Yesterdays major card was about something new happening, a new journey. Today we have the ten of swords. Tens are about endings and beginnings, the end of a cycle, completion. Over these next three days we have Swords energy and we end the week with one also. Swords are of the element of air and therefore related to the mind. They are about conflict, justice and truth; the truth will set us free. The ability for us to see the bigger picture and the ability to set for

Saturday: Back with the major arcana cards to end the week and today number six on what some see as the 6th day i.e. Saturday. Sixes can be about balance, communication, equilibrium, harmony and problem solving. They can also be about family, home and service on the positive, while on the negative side there is jealousy and worry. Once known as The Choice card, the Lovers is not always about love and romance, connection and union, but about choice and decision. It is represen

Wednesday: We haven’t seen this card for a while though it used to be a regular if not in the daily readings then in the other readings I do. I call it ‘Caught up in the briar patch (while joy is within our reach).’ Kind of says it all in one sentence. We can easily lose ourselves in the drama of the moment where we do not perceive a way out, when it is nigh impossible to see that which lies ahead of us and, with this card, that future is joy. Negativity is the energy and fea

Monday: Once again we have a visit from this card. Once again we have the power of the number five which is about change. Will today be the day that we stop looking at this card as disruptive essence and embrace the visionary energy of the alternative view to that which we see playing out before us? Now is a time to see beyond the conflict by not allowing it to consume us. When we let that happen it stops the good things coming too us. If we go looking for trouble we are sure

Thursday: Stabbed in the heart, heartbreak, loss, this card visibly tells a story of hurt and possible betrayal. Many things in this life’s journey can wound us, leave us destroyed, a shadow of the person we once were – but were we true to ourselves or were we caught up in stories that were not of our own making? Why would anyone want to be in such a painful place – is it because we are taught this is the way we have to be? We have to mourn the loss of others (in which ever w

Monday: With the new moon exact tomorrow evening, it is already ‘active’ energy wise. Our card today is one of reflection, of how we want to move forward from today, to get some clarity for our future. Just what we need right now, the best time to get our new seeds ready for planting tomorrow. The lady lies holding onto the last sword of four, is she thinking that she needs its protection or is she not ready to let it go as she already has managed to do with the others? She l

Thursday: It was 10:10pm as I turned my laptop on to write this card tonight. Following the 555 energy of yesterday, it seems that it has been doubled to the 10-10-10 tonight. Ten is of one and zero – endings and beginnings. The last numbered card of the minor arcana suit before the royals. The word ascension speaks to me as I look at the card tonight. If we try to change the path we are on we create friction, and that slows us down. Better to allow the free flow of energies

Tuesday: This card is the filling of a major arcana sandwich emphasising its energy and gift to us today. The card is also known as the Hand of God. We are being guided by soul path energy. Today could be the day that the clouds move and clarity comes to us. A time for speaking our truths and particularly to ourselves. Aces are about new beginnings, gifts from the Universe, potential but we have to take action on it. We are all uniquely different and it would assist us to con

Sunday: Not unexpected this card comes out today to continue the theme of the last two days. It is about choices and decisions. It is about learning to listen to our intuition – looking for a deeper meaning/guidance. When we make choices we can avoid the ‘tower’ moments in life. Procrastination is a crucifying energy to be in. Just make the decision. If it turns out not to be right for us then we can move on from it. However, in sometimes making a seemingly ‘wrong’ decision,

Friday: Today I am being asked to look deeper with this card. On the surface it looks like an avenging Angel with supporters ready to step up to the fray! But, like so many things in life, we have two ways we can look at this. Is it protective or aggressive? It can be both disruptive or visionary energy. Why are swords associated with the energy of air when they could have been born from the metals of mother earth, birthed in the ‘smiths fire and strengthened in water? In my

Tuesday: A perfect day for us to receive the manifesting energy of the Magician. I have been feeling the energy of this full moon these last few days and this morning at 04:31gmt will bring it to its fullest. A time for being the Magician in our own lives and as noted for the full moon by Heather Eland: ‘put our passion and emotion behind EVERYTHING we do, without holding back! . . . energy, ripe for disruption and challenge that, while frustrating in the moment, lead to

Saturday: Six, the number or problem solving, communication and equilibrium – balance and harmony. Have we been working on lifting ourselves out of the ‘doom and gloom’? Have we found a change in our circumstances in employing the attitude of gratitude and positivity? Are we allowing ourselves to dream and be lifted out of the troubles of the past and set down on a new pathway? Can we see a clear path ahead now with the obstacles removed? Or is it that we have changed the wa

Monday: Today at 03:30 GMT we have the new moon in Aries. The first sign in the zodiac and energy of new beginnings. As well as ‘amor’ this card was once known as the card of choice. A card of decision making and represented by the air Sun sign Gemini. A day for romance and relationships with the possible soulmate level of where you match each other perfectly – a blessed union. It is Spring after all and it is always said that Spring brings love into the air! There is also th

Monday: The first of two fives this week on today the fifth day of April ie 5.4.2021=14=5 in a power of 5 year too. Fives can be about change and this card is linked to disruptive as well as visionary energy. Arguments, disagreements and instability are all energies that consume us and create a block on good things coming forward for us. As I said in my week ahead post, think evolution not revolution. We need to learn to see past the energy of conflict and embrace difference

Wednesday: A card of ‘grief and heartbreak, loneliness, separation and isolation’ – the Shadowscapes Companion book says: ‘Overcome the pain, the weeping of the heart is perhaps a necessary cleansing. Let that torment drain away; be purified of the black blood and then lift up white wings to dance with the sky once again.’ This too shall pass is a useful mantra to get us through difficult times. What doesn’t serve us is to let our ego mind keep us in pain, like wearing a badg

Thursday: Double air energy rushes forward with our royal visitor this week. Is he blowing up a storm or just in a bit of a rush to get to where he is going; to achieve his quest? He ‘thinks’ that the answers all lie at his end goal, but, the meaning of all that he seeks lies within the journeys that he will make while on his search. It is so easy to get caught up in air energy, the energy of our thoughts, the energy of our perceived ideas. Today we are being asked to ground
