Thursday: Fours speak to us of foundation, stability and structure. Of safety and security. Possibly stagnation. A day to reflect on how to move forward from past hurts. Of getting clarity, or a day of rest, recovery and renewal. There is a need for balance, a greater need for harmony and success in relationships. A time to move forward after reflection. Of re-planning energy and seeing the way forward. When I look at this card I also feel that we have moved the three swords

Wednesday: Aces are our gifts from the Universe. They are of new beginnings and potential but we have to take action. What if I don’t know what to do? I have been known to ask. ‘You will know what you need too’ has always been my answer. So, until then I don’t worry about it and watch for signs or guidance. It can come in so many ways like a song playing or a phrase overheard on the TV as it is switched on or as I walk into the room. Our Ace today is the very first card of th

Tuesday: ‘Top of the shop’ the final card of the four suits, our royal visitor today, King of the material world. Kings bring us the energy of authority, leadership, and protection. Pentacles are of positivity and value. A mix of the Earth energy of the Pentacles and the Fire energy of the King. This card guides us that it is time to go in search of what makes us happy, to be secure and solid in our being. Card of great achievement and dominance in commerce and industry. Some

Monday: Fives are the number of change, following on from the ‘wind of change’ yesterday. Fives can be unsettling energy or instability and Cups are about emotions, feelings and relationships. Therefore this card brings us challenge, conflicts, and emotional intensity. A card of not moving on from the past in our minds or from within. We are asked to try to see past the current position. A good mantra is ‘this too shall pass.’ This card is about stuck emotions because we are

Sunday: We have a royal end to our week as the Queen of Swords blows in on a wind of change. Queens are caring, experienced and mature. They are the penultimate card of the suits. This Queen brings clarity, brings things into balance and to making sense. She asks us to allow ourselves to rise in a new light. She is the energy of truth and a counterpart to the Justice card in the Major Arcana. She encourages us to be empowered to speak our truth. Swords are an air element whil

Saturday: Today we have the lovely nine of cups in a sword sandwich. Yesterday the six that had us leaving troubles behind us, clear vision and plain sailing ahead etc. Well, today, we have the card known as The Wish Fulfilment card, of getting our hearts desire. This is about our individual journey back to happiness, possibly through conversations leading to positive opportunities. Card of abundance, accomplishment and of compassion. Today we turn our minds to bring focus an

Friday: This card for me represents to dream of being lifted from the past. It is about leaving trouble behind us. A card of clear vision ahead, of plain sailing. It can be a card of moving home or life transition, new visions, new goals, new job. This card is sometimes known as The Honeymoon card. *Heather Eland: Tells us that today the planet Venus enters Sun sign of Scorpio through to 7th October. On a positive note ’this transit facilitates intimacy, loyalty and deep tru

Thursday: A step back to a two today but back into beginning energy with the Wands, the first suit of the Minor Arcana. Associated to the Sun sign of Aries and the planet Mars. Mars, Ruler of Aries is about action and desire, initiation and self-assertion. Linked to Aries we receive the new energy as in Aries being the first sign of the Zodiac and sits perfectly as we start to move out of the darkness of the new moon. A lot of fresh and new energy assisting us today. Mars cur

Wednesday: Today we stay with yesterday’s energy of the planet Mercury but today in the Sun sign of Cancer so a change from the fiery passion to a flowing element today of happier times. Feeling in the flow, things falling into place. A day of having reasons to celebrate in one way or another. It may not be of the grandiose kind but, maybe today, we can start to appreciate the small things with more enthusiasm and gratitude. Fake it till we make it if necessary. This is a car

Tuesday: The seeds are set in the dark of the new moon which is exact at 01:51 BST (GMT+1hr) this morning in the Sun sign of Virgo asking us to pull our focus into the now. To take time to focus on compassion, joy, love and peace assisting this energy to spread out into the world around us. Heather Eland shares: ‘With Pluto in aligning with the New Moon as part of a Grand Earth Trine, expect deep observations, transformative insights, divine inspirations, and a strong fixatio

Monday: Continuing in the major arcana energy we start the week in Temperance. Card of patience and slowing things down. We may be ready to move forward but the new moon energy (exact Tue 01:51 BST) and this card, the ‘to be continued’ card, bring us guidance of forbearance. Another day of the planet Jupiter’s influence which is that of the ‘lucky’ planet. It tells us to relax, to flow, to be and trust that all will be well. Patience is truly a virtue, and virtue is a worthy

Sunday: More reversed energy today but, as I read it, it is just going to take a little longer for this cards energy to come into effect. Today I want to start by sharing the meaning of the card from the Shadowscapes Companion Book – that in itself is a reversal energy as I usually add it at the end of the reading. ‘The Wheel of Fortune – Destiny – the weaving of life’s threads coming together, fate, turning points, movement and change, patterns and cycles, an interconnected

Saturday: Balance, boundaries, fairness and making decisions are some of the qualities of this card. Being reversed, for me, is only a delay in proceedings. Things will take a little longer to come to fruition. A card of finding balance after instability. Of fairness after injustice. Card of rewards for our efforts. Anywhere in our lives that we feel justice needs to prevail then let us all trust that it will. It may not happen in the time that we would want to see it happen

Friday: ‘The Devil to pay’ came to me the day when I chose this batch of cards. It means serious trouble because of a particular circumstance or obligation. Two days ago, we had the Four of Pentacles sometimes known as the Little Devil. This is the first of three Major Arcana cards to see us to the end of this week and it is, as it has been all week, heavy / awkward energy. What limitations or fears are we being asked to question or understand? We are reminded of our boundari

Thursday: We seem to be in some real heavy energy this week and how we let that affect us will either lessen or amplify it. On Tuesday we had the eight of swords and today we are moved on to the nine, the ‘almost there’ number in the suits. This card is about feeling loss of control, restlessness, nervous energy. It is about despair and negative thinking, where we allow negativity to enter the mind. These are learned behaviours and anything learned can be unlearned. The first

Wednesday: Similar to yesterday’s perspective guidance, today we have the card I like to call the Gollum card, as in Lord of the Rings and Gollum’s desire to have the gold ring; ‘my precious’. There is a wonderful release of all things in physicality that ‘own’ us when we believe in a greater life after this human one. When we can release the grip of ‘things’ that are only that, then we find a new freedom to be and to live an easier existence here on earth. Fours are of found

Tuesday: Heavy energy around as we move from August into September tomorrow, should we choose to see it that way! For the Eight of Swords is about not seeing the full perspective of situation(s). It is about holding ourselves in negative energy which never serves us any good. This card is about learning lessons and adapting to circumstances. Eights are about continuum which is an unhealthy cycle when in the negative. The card depicts the swan trapped in the briar patch, seemi

Monday: Skipping the Page we go from yesterday's Ten directly to the next Wands card to start this week with our first Knight. Knights are extreme and fast. They bring us positive change opportunities. They quest for what they want to achieve. They are of the air element and are therefore true to their search for justice and quash conflict. They are of action and change, knowledgeable and use their power to achieve their goals. They represent the adventurer of the zodiac sign

Sunday: Tens are about beginnings and endings. Are we ready today to lay down any burdens we have been carrying around with us that no longer serve us? Possibly beliefs that have been generational. The new Aquarian age guides us to understand ourselves, our true self, not the person that does something because they think it is right, but the heartfelt knowing that this is what we want to do. The planet Mercury, planet of communication, is now in the Sun sign of Libra. It assi

Saturday: Another double day and a nod to duality once more. Today we start with the Six of Pentacles. Pentacles are of the earth element and so, bring to us the energy of foundation and growth; it supports and nurtures us. Sixes are of balance, equilibrium and harmony. This card is known as the Law of Attraction card. It is about getting what we need more so than what we want. Time to focus on where we place our energy and for us to trust that our efforts will be rewarded. C
