Wednesday: First of two tens and today from the wands suit. Last with us on Friday, we are again being reminded of its energy and how is can assist us today. First off, tens are about endings and beginnings. They are about completion, the end of a cycle and also of perfection. We are being asked to ‘lighten our load’. How many of us burden ourselves with things in this life because we ‘think’ we should? What we may ask ourselves is, ‘Is this really what I want for my life?’ P

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

Thursday: Our second day of 8 energy and today in the suit of the Cups. Eights are about mastering something. About positive change, movement, power and progress. Our eight of cups is the step before the wish fulfilment, so ‘hang on in there’. Don’t give up at the final hurdle. An energy of moving towards something better and in so doing walking away, saying goodbye to something else. The Shadowscapes Companion book shares: ‘. . . Slice through the waters. O Seeker of truth,

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

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

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

Tuesday: Saturn in Libra. Feels like a straight jacket has been forced onto one who is normally free to make ones own decisions. Saturn brings us parental energies which when supportive, caring and loving are more than welcome. But when they are draconian, and forced on a sensitive being, then it is like being a pin cushion receiving constant jabs. When we are children then we have to live with this until we are able to either hold our own within the family unit or move on. W

Saturday: A weekend of five’s and an amplification of this number presence which could include challenges, changes, conflict, instability and uncertainty to name but a few. I am drawn to share the words from day 72 of the Tao Te Ching project pauljohndearphotography is posting on Instagram alongside his wonderful photos. ‘When people lack a sense of awe, there will be disaster. Do not intrude into their homes. Do not harass them at work. If you do not interfere, they will no

Friday: ‘Addiction, loss of independence, and enslavement, caught up in the material realm, overindulgence, choosing to stay in the dark’ etc. The Shadowscapes Companion book paints its picture of the energy of the Devil card. What limitations and fears are we being asked to question and understand today? Are we really powerless to our fears or do we just ‘think’ we are? The Devil will lead us a merry dance because he can. Yet, when we find our own individual power of being

Thursday: Happy to see this card coming through for us all today. We could do with some positive abundance in some shape or form. ‘. . . this Eden of her own making.’ says the Shadowscapes Companion book. Have we been setting seeds of abundance on the new moon energies now and past? Have we been cultivating an Eden of our own? Let us not be in a rush no matter how long we have waited for the ‘fruit to ripen’. All things have an appointed time and if we step in to soon, if we

Wednesday: A three day visit from royalty starting off with the Page of Cups. Pages are the messengers of the Tarot and the youthful, enthusiastic members of the royalty cards. We have both earth and water energy so a groundedness but be careful that we don’t get out of our depth. They also bring fun loving energy and we could all do with some of that. There is an understanding of the need to move forward and today there is a great shift in the cosmos as Saturn is moving into

Wednesday: Not a mistake, this is not yesterdays reading but a strong message that needed to be repeated again today. This is the first card in my new tranche of 21 that I choose every three weeks. The cards have been used for individual readings many times over the last three weeks so it is quite unusual odds having it appear again for us so soon. Someone with less integrity may have overlooked it as a mistake or found it too difficult to read again, but the truth of the ma

Tuesday: Don't make life more difficult for ourselves than we need to! They say the best way to tell a lie is to keep it as close to the truth as possible. In my book lying is not truthful and therefore not honest so the best policy for me is not to put myself into situations where that kind of energy is needed. Are you living a lie today or can you put your hand on your heart and know that you are being honest with yourself? It is easy to get caught up into situations that m
