Wednesday: A natural flow today from the Tower to the Fool and new beginnings. Our second major arcana card this week brings us change, ambition, curiosity. It is of awakening, innovation and liberation. Some may say revolution but I prefer evolution, let us start with ourselves and be the essence of what we believe in, each and everyone of us, wonderfully unique. Do we acknowledge and see fear and deception currently being fashioned around us? Like the Fool in his authentici

Tuesday: From a six to a sixteen and a date that also adds to 16 today. We are travelling forward but this is the Tower card. Sometimes it can feel like the end of the world for us, but, what comes after can realign us to a better path to tread than the one we were on before. Unexpected and unavoidable, the Universe tears down the tower to move us, to liberate us. Where we have been was not stable, built on unsuitable foundations. Energies of aggression, conquest, drive and e

Thursday: Receiving a step up from yesterday's card, today, we have Temperance. Sometimes known as the 'to be continued' card. Card of exploration, free spirited, idealism, inspiration and philosophy. Guidance to open to the flow of life and making peace between heart and mind. Finding balance, the middle way, adapting and moving on. Learning the art of patience and compromise. Being open to change and finding our way forward. Card of the planet Jupiter in the Sun sign of Sag

Monday: Today we have the last card of the major arcana and bring forward completion, the end of a journey or cycle. The winning through of a situation or project. Card twenty one, we turn to *Joanne at Sacred Scribes to share: . . . ‘be aware of your thoughts as they are manifesting your ideas and beliefs into reality. 21 encourages you to be optimistic and maintain a positive attitude regarding current changes and/or circumstances in your life, as this will help to manifest

Saturday: From the 12th through to the 23rd, we are in the magical season of meteor showers. *higherself portal shares: ‘Meteor showers asks us all to tap into our own inner compass. To see beyond what our normal senses may express to us and tap into a reality that’s only visible when we believe in it, trust in it, and use it to have our greatest experience and thus teaching others to do the same as well. You can only be the light, when you become the candle. By being the exa

Wednesday: Being called to the numerology of today’s date and card that are both number eight. It is about mastering something and positive change. It is about movement, power and progress. The Strength card is about mastery of ones thoughts. It is about finding our own inner strength, conquering our thoughts and fears – the maiden has tamed the beast! A card of confidence, magnanimity, optimism, validation and will. This card was once known as the Mastery of ones Thoughts.

Saturday: ‘Play (the) devil's advocate: https://idioms.thefreedictionary.com/ To argue against or attack an idea, argument, or proposition—even if one is in favor of it—for the sake of debate or to further examine its strength, validity, or details.’ The guidance we have been receiving of late is asking us to look at life in a different way to that which we were taught to see it. To question or understand the truth in the fears we can face daily, even from hour to hour. Why

Sunday: We revisit perception as we end the week with the Major Arcana card number twelve, the Hanged Man. It is again about looking at things in a different light. A time of waiting, a pause. A card of intuition and sensitivity. From the Shadowscapes Companion book, it says: ‘The spirals of red draw his mind into that place of deep meditation where thought becomes action and where the stillness speaks with the voices of the gods. . . He goes willingly to his fate, [and] unh

Wednesday: On this last day of June we have our life giving filling for our ace sandwich, the bright, shiny and closest star, the sun. The card of enlightenment.. The Pictorial Key to the Tarot by A E Waite quotes it so eloquently from its first publication in 1911: ‘When the self-knowing spirit has dawned in the consciousness above the natural mind, that mind in its renewal leads forth the animal nature in a state of perfect conformity.’ In other words, when we, as animals,

Saturday: Our fourth and last major arcana card this week, we have had much fated energy coming our way in a week of the Summer Solstice and the full moon in Capricorn. Today’s card is the Tower and card of planet Mars, the planet of aggression and power; ruler of Sun sign Aries. Many believe that we experience ‘tower’ moments in our life to move us on, to liberate us or to realign us to a new path. It has us experience something of force and unexpected. It is the ultimate ‘c

Friday: A card of doing the right thing both for you and for everyone involved, what we call today a 'win win' result. It is easily seen as associated to balance and the scales of justice and therefore linked to Sun sign Libra. It is all about truth and in taking decisive action. Rewards for ones efforts. Victory in court or legal actions; maybe a settlement coming. Looking at the card I receive the request for us to be fair in any correspondence today and I am reminded of th

Tuesday: For all of us that have had technology issues this last Mercury retrograde, it stations direct tonight at 11pm GMT+1 [BST]. It will be mid July however before we are clear of its power. Today’s card asks us to engage with our intuition. It is about trusting our instincts and reconnecting to our true selves, our personal power. She steps up for us to guide us forward in knowing that all may not be as it would appear to be. In two days time we will have the full moon e

Monday: Another day, another Major Arcana and another card linked to the planet Saturn that rules the Sun sign of Capricorn. What limitations or fears are we being asked to question or understand today? A card of hopelessness, restrictions, responsibilities. We are reminded of our boundaries and our commitments plus self control. This is about something we give our power to, like the puppeteer and we the puppets jumping as our strings are pulled. A card of detachment, dominan

Sunday: The ultimate card of the Major Arcana, The World. It is number 21, previously known as a ‘coming of age’ year for young adults. This is completion, and, as we all know, any completion is just the beginning of something more. But, let us ‘rest on our laurels’ for a little while and take in the majesty of this moment, the achievement. Let us respect what we have learned from the past and be able to move on, to step forward on our next journey with the foundation of our

Monday: The energy of three brings us birth, creativity and growth. A journey, something new happening, learned lessons from the past. The negative aspect can be gossipy and moody. Today I am drawn to the colours of this card and before I look at it I am given a ‘rainbow’. Indeed there is a rainbow of colours here and she is nurturing its growth as she sends forth the multicoloured butterflies. Rainbows are a bridge between ‘heaven and earth’. Will we find ourselves today br

Sunday: As there is light, so is there shadow. The teachings this week have been mainly about how we can look at things differently. We end this week with the last of our major arcana cards. This is a card of detachment, dominance and negativity. Materialism, moodiness and pessimism. It is about hopelessness and the limitations of fear. A card of addictions, ego and vices. We are reminded of our boundaries, commitments and responsibilities which included self control/ will. W

Friday: Number ten of the major arcana which in numerology is about endings and beginnings. Today is the fourth day of June so also being drawn to mention foundations and the 'strength' (Wednesday’s card) of how good foundations support us. Then we have the master number 11 power of the month and the year combined. Can we feel the energies working around us at this time? We may think nothing is happening but, we cannot see that which goes on ‘behind the scenes’. It is about d

Wednesday: Our second major arcana for this week weighs in with the energy of Strength in a month/year with the numerology of the master number 11. There is great play in the planets currently as we have eclipse season having kicked off at the last full moon. The next annular solar eclipse being on the 10th (11:41hrs GMT) with the new moon on the 11th and Solstice on the 21st. As much as so much happens outside of ourselves in this life, we are guided through those energies t

Tuesday: The first of four major arcana cards this week today being Temperance. The card of moderation and of finding the middle way. Again the Shadowscapes Companion book is talking to us about: ‘Harmony and equilibrium . . . ‘ as has been shared with us in the cards last week. ‘Being flexible and understanding that there is more than one way to perceive the world can go a long way towards breaking down that invisible wall.’ Sometimes known as the ‘to be continued’ card. A c

Sunday: We revisit the words of yesterdays card as they sing the same song today, one of balance, equilibrium and harmony. The Justice card weighs in at the master number eleven of the major arcana. Eleven in numerology is known as the Messenger. Are you picking up on the continuation of energy running through the cards as they share their story with us each day? Elevens are about being deeply insightful but this can make them introverted. We always have balance playing out i
