Friday: We may not be able to see the way ahead, but, have we ever considered that this was a ‘signpost’ for us, to make us more aware of where we are, right here, right now? Today’s card is encouraging us to make decisions even though we cannot see what lays ahead. Are we ready to embrace the unknown? Have we embraced the energies of faith and trust? There is something that can assist us with that and it is called intuition, but, we have to quieten our monkey minds so that w

Wednesday: Another visit from a ten card and today in the suit of wands. The number of ending and beginning, when we come full circle and then off we go again on another adventure or journey; the endless spiral of life. I want to bring in some excitement with this card today. Wands are about creativity, expansion and will. They are fire energy so bring us passion. Like all fires that passion can be unleashed or tempered as we wish to experience it. We all have our own limitat

Thursday: From the angst of the three of swords we turn to our second three this week and the pentacles suit. This card is not dissimilar to yesterdays as it says we need to put our energies in the right direction. I like this card for it brings a healing vibe with it. It is about allowing ourselves to be supported and accept help when we need it. Again it is about getting out of that ego mind that ‘thinks’ it is weak to ask for help. In my view, it is weak not to ask for hel

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

Monday: Today we start the new week with the fated energy of the penultimate major arcana card. Judgement is personal, it is never something that should be levelled at another. If we find ourselves doing that then we may look within and consider why we are consciously choosing to judge another rather than ourselves. Can we find that place of peace that allows others to be themselves and find the truth of who we are? The Shadowscapes Companion book says in the meaning of this

Saturday: Middle of the fours sandwich we have the major arcana card Temperance. I have heard this card referred to as the ‘to be continued card’ or about finding our way forward through change. The word temperance can mean control, moderation or restraint to name a few. But, the one word I have heard used most with this card is ‘patience’. Change can affect us so that we go into our minds and worry but what good has worry done for anyone? Anytime we feel to be in that energ

Thursday: The only zero in the deck, a one off. The first card of the Major Arcana, the cards in the deck that carry more energy than the minor suits; I have heard them referred to as ‘fated energy’. This card is represented by the planet Uranus and the Sun sign it rules, Aquarius. I love the innocence and trust that shines out of this depiction of the card. Embracing change, the unknown, liberation, new beginnings. The phrase ‘stepping up to the plate’ rings out to me and de

Tuesday: This card is all about choice. Today I want to highlight the fact that as we are human we have been gifted with free will to choose the way we want to be. Yes, I am listening to this message as I type it, very pertinent to me right now! We can live the life of 'juggling balls' while we dance a jig on a very small and unsteady platform high above a precipice, or, we can enjoy some quiet time and wait for life to come to us, at a time which is not only good for us but

Monday: First of three major arcana this week is the Emperor. There is a strong essence around just now that all things are not as they seem. How have you been feeling through the Equinox energies? The Shadowscapes Companion book says of the Emperor: ‘is a man rooted in his ways and views and regimens but confident that this is the right structure and way of things.’ It is the right way for him. He takes the seed of the Empress and makes it grow. A time for us to bring solid

Friday: Did we manage to hold onto our hats yesterday and not get blown away in the double air energy? Today’s card is the one of victory / success. Are you able to look at your current situation and be happy for what you have achieved in some way, shape, or form recently? This is an energy of putting challenges behind us. Getting back on the horse after being dismounted, usually ungracefully! A card that asks us to know who our friends are and that they can count on you a

Wednesday: Our second two this week following yesterdays Wands. Together side by side they bring us the Master Builder numerology of 22. A balanced number, a bringing together of the material and the spiritual with the power of inner wisdom. The Shadowscapes Companion books says of this card that it is: ‘about making a connection, a union, a partnership. It is the bringing together of opposites and the potential for bonding. It is relationship. Like a living organism, relatio

Tuesday: First of our twos this week and from the suit of Wands. Another regular visitor to our readings bringing us Mars the planet of war in the fiery sign of Aries. Two follows the Ace which was of the new beginnings. We had one and now we have two. Some things in life are easier when there are two. Two brings balance, options, choice. When we know not which choice to make then the worst scenario is in not making the choice. One or the other is better than none. Be gentle

Saturday: Day of the Pisces new moon at 10:21gmt. What a great card to get for the new moon via the energy of the major arcana’s first card, 0 The Fool. Heather Eland www.astrologywithheather.com advises that ‘this new Moon in Pisces is BY FAR the most Magical New Moon of 2021 – perfect for manifesting your visions and dreams into reality!’ So let us take a leap of faith like the Fool today and trust that the new beginning from today’s energy will bring us the adventures, pas

Sunday: The Shadowscapes Companion book says that 'There is grief and heartbreak in the Three of Swords. There is a feeling of loneliness, separation and isolation. There is no one to give solace or lend a hand.' The card is very graphic and we can feel the pain of the swan in its distress. It is time to bring closure to deep hurts that we hold within us. They do not serve us. They hold us in a state of pain and wretchedness in a life that is meant to be joyous. When we hold

Saturday: This weeks major arcana sets us up in the energy we need to carry us through the weekend and what we have is asking for moderation and calm. Time to open up to the flow of life and instead of push, push, pushing – take a step back and allow life to come to you for a change, especially on days off from work etc. Time to acknowledge when your head wants to over-rule your heart, check it and let the heart guide you. Let go of the things we cannot change – that was then

Tuesday: First of two fours this week, this card is also known as the Happy Home card or the 11:11 card. Fours can be about foundations, safety, security, stability and structure while on a negative aspect can be about being rigid and stubborn. We are given this four via the suit of Wands today which are about fire energy, creation, expansion and will. Fire energy brings us passion and there is a lot of love around currently with the waning energy of the full moon in Virgo a

Friday: More water energy today as we greet the two of cups. Known as the major arcana Lovers card in this the minor arcana. When you look at the card you can feel the flowing energy depicted by the gifted artist Stephanie Pui-Mun Law. The suit of cups is about emotions, feelings and relationships. Here we see a couple having started their journey enjoying a ‘can’t take my eyes off of you’ moment. There will be twists and turns on their journey ahead but as long as they resp

Thursday: We have lived the fast lane, encouraged to push, push, push. Compete and strive to be better than others being sold the line – it’s what we have to do! Over the course of this last year we have been awakened to a different way of being. It has allowed us time to see things in different perspectives. Today we have a visit from The Hanged Man, more water energy from the planet Neptune in Pisces and is actually where it has been hanging out for a few years now! Neptun

Sunday: How we see things! Let us not jump to conclusions today before taking a step back and checking in with the reality of what we are witnessing. Is it a reflection of our own behaviour? Is that approach necessary or learned? Are we comfortable with it or do we not want it in our lives now? We choose, free will! The card of Mars in Leo so we have strong passionate energy here and as shown in the artwork of the card. My initial reaction on seeing this card for the first

Friday: Balance, duality and relationships. Some people are adept at juggling while others can be all fingers and thumbs. What do we bring into our lives that cause us to have to juggle things rather than being realistic in the first place and not giving ourselves such a hard time? There is a big energy here about knowing ourselves and accepting our limitations. Again I am asked to share that we are all uniquely different and what is right for one person does not mean it sho
