Monday: ‘Being closed off’ is what is coming through as I turn this card over today. Being like the Ostrich and sticking our heads in the sand when there are things that we don’t want to face. Yesterday, the four of this suit asked us to look within – did we, or did we e.g. not have the time? Have we decided to live in a fairy story of our own making and not face facts of what is actually transpiring around us? Maybe we have decided to look to the positive and picture the kin

Sunday: Last out on the 2nd of this month, and rounding off the week with another four energy today in the suit of Cups. Are you waiting patiently for good things to come to you? There is a feeling of ‘bidding our time’ with this card today. Time out or surrender can be good for us, it can afford us time to go within and question what it is that would truly make our heart sing. Not what anyone else wants for us but what we would like for ourselves. What would synch’ best with

Thursday: Youthful enthusiasm, a message/messenger the Pages are the first of the Royals that complete the suits lending themselves to new beginnings and exploration. Again we are guided to listen to our intuition. So many messages about this recently so maybe there is something in it ;-) I can only speak for myself but it has been an interesting addition to my life to be able to receive messages in so many different ways. We have to be open to receive however, a closed mind

Wednesday: A side step away from the fiery Wands energy today and into the loving arms of the Two of Cups. This card is the minor arcana card equivalent of the six of the major arcana – the Lovers, which was once known of as the Choice card. I know we are heading into Autumn in the Northern Hemisphere here but there is a feeling of Spring and a lightness of step with this card today. Maybe it is the energy of love that lifts us up today. It can be considered the card of manif

Friday: Tuesday we had the eight of pentacles and we were being asked to have faith and trust. Today a similar message of hanging on in there as this is the step before wish fulfilment. Eights are about movement, power and progress, about positive change. It brings us the energy of moving towards something better. Allowing ourselves to walk away from something should we realise we need something more. A card that asks us what are we willing to give up? Though, my guidance is

Sunday: Being sandwiched between two Wands cards I have a feeling that passions could either melt in the heat today, be watered down or flow in a destructive manner such as the Magna of the volcano on Palma. Fours are about foundation, stability and structure but I feel the bookend Wands have other ideas that may rock our safety, security or stagnation. Being of water energy the Four of Cups is sometimes called the Divine Nudge card. It takes old emotion or habits and encour

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

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

Thursday: Staying with the suit of Cups we have a second royal visitor this week and a very welcome visitor she is too. Can we all imagine having the trust and faith of this ‘force of nature’. Second day of water element energy and two for one today in both the Queen and the Cups. Are we flowing? Have we found a pace that suits us and allows us to flow seamlessly without hidden rocks or being caught up along the 'sides'? If we worry about these things then we tend to create t

Wednesday: This card I like to call The Architect. To me it is about taking your dreams and bringing them into reality. There may be compromises along the way but if we allow ourselves the dream of the best outcome for everyone involved then where could we go wrong? Sevens are about assessment, evaluation and reflection. In the suit of Cups it is about the element of water and emotions, feelings and relationships; associated with love and connections. The card of going for ou

Friday: A royal visitor rides into our day. He is no ‘knight errant’ for he believes in the tried and tested ways. He is the last Knight of the four suits, he has learned his skills and will put them to good use. He heralds positive opportunities of change but we need to put the work in to get it, not everything is ‘handed to us on a plate’. Know that we will find our direction. Be patient, all will become clear in the time that is right for everyone involved. A day to dare t

Wednesday: Whatever was decided yesterday, today’s Ace is showing us a cup brimming with potential. It is the cup of joy. A gift from the hand of the Divine. An offer or an opportunity available to us should we choose to be open to receive it! What is it that we really want to manifest for ourselves? Are we ready for a new beginning or new phase to start today? This card in linked to the element of water and is therefore about our emotional life, about the fulfilment we wish

Friday: Some consider Friday the 13th to be unlucky, but this lovely card that has come forward for us today brings us the energy of celebration. Reasons to celebrate. Closing one door as another one opens. Gathering. Happy times. Feeling in the flow and things falling into place. Threes are the energy of new journeys, making something new happen having learned lessons from the past. Card of birth, creativity and growth. Linked to the planet Mercury in the zodiac sign of Canc

Monday: We start the week with the power of the eighth Major Arcana card number seven, The Chariot. Card of confidence and motion. Spontaneity, movement and travel. Achievement through effort and self mastery. Sevens bring us assessment, evaluation and reflection. The Shadowscapes Companion book shares with us: ‘This stillness in what is in eternal motion stirs awareness in the denizens of the deep. From underneath the spirits of the ocean whisper to the sea god, and in a swi

Sunday: Ending this week on a royal note we have the double water element of both Queen and Cups. Where there are endings there are also beginnings and today we have the first day of August. August being named after the first Roman emperor, Augustus Caesar. This card asks us to come back to who we are with a new level of understanding what’s important to us in terms of love, family, and our sanctuary from the challenges of the external world. We get there through acknowledgin

Friday: It may feel like we are one step forward then two back but the guidance for us today is to keep putting in the effort and to go for our dreams, hopes and wishes. Being clear on what we want without going into details; we leave that part to the Universe to provide for us, giving us what need which is more than what we want. Again we are being asked to trust our intuition, to make clear choices for we may find ourselves with confusion in not knowing which way to go. As

Thursday: The Page is the first of the four royals of the suits. They are of the earth element and are the messengers of the pack; they bring us youthful enthusiasm. Still with the Cups suit today, the messages will reflect the water element of emotion, feelings and relationships. A card known as a Gift of Energy. Of new exploration. Knowing that any intense emotions won’t last forever, we are asked to intuitively focus on the positive aspects of life and living today and use

Wednesday: Nine’s are about our own journey and about being ‘almost there.’ They are about compassion, compromises and spirituality. Cups, as I mentioned on Monday, are about emotions and feelings etc. We have another three Cups cards visiting with us before this week is out. This card is also known as the Wish Fulfilment card. It represents us, you, me. We can be happy again. We can attain our hearts desire. Being happy in our own right, in our own space and in our own terms
