Wednesday: Second of four major arcana cards this week. Non judgement starts with self then we move it on to include others. We choose not to judge but to be complete in ourselves with no regard to insufficiencies, we are whole as we are; as are others. Acceptance of self. Being us. Being happy with self. Loving self. Gratitude of being. Joy of being. Nurturing self. Being compassionate. Today is day 11 of August and 11 is a master number in numerology. ‘The Master Teacher, i

Tuesday: Queens are of the water element, they are caring, experienced and mature. Swords are of the air and are about truth and justice. There is a nice balance between the two as the air energy lacks emotion while that is what the water element represents. Therefore it is no big surprise that it is backed up by the zodiac sign of Libra and that this card is also linked to the Justice card of the major arcana. What balance do we need to find for ourselves today? Allow oursel

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: Today is a powerful day astrologically as we have the new moon in Leo at 14:50 BST and it is the 8/8 Lion’s Gate bringing us the energy of the alignment of the Earth, the Sun and the Star Sirius. A yearly cosmic download to activate and assist us to align with our soul path. We are all wonderfully unique, it is up to us individually to be open to receive this assistance at this time when it is available to us. Magically and in the flow on this eighth day of the eights

Saturday: Prior to the new moon and Lion’s Gate tomorrow, today we are in the energy of the Balsamic Moon whose decreasing light, the waning crescent, will finally slip into the total darkness of the new moon. An ideal time for us to release what no longer works in our lives. Today we have the final two of the week that gives us the energy to consider life choices that will bring positive change into our lives. Again we are being guided to go within and listen to our intuitio

Friday: Kings hold authority, they are leaders and protectors. The Swords suit is of the element of air while the Kings hold the element of fire. Together they can blow up a raging storm or learn to use the air to turn the fire in the direction of their choice. Today I get the word ‘contemplation’ with this card. This is a week of twos and it reminds us that all things are dualistic. Yin and Yang etc. It doesn’t mean that there are not a multitude of shades in between but it

Thursday: Being supported. We may not know where we go but we are going. Today is our second six of this week and our first of two of the Swords suit. Having been guided to take the leap of faith by the fool yesterday, this card sees us being carried above the heaviness of the past. Are we searching for balance and harmony per the energy of the number six? This card is about leaving trouble behind us with clear vision and plain sailing ahead. Detaching from troubles. It can b

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

Monday: We have experienced a lot in life and this gives us a nudge to ask ourselves if this is what we want here and now. Today we have the card of Victory/Success; what a great way to start a new week! Today we put challenges behind us and ‘get back on our horse’ having claimed our Victory crown. A card that attracts good fortune to us, of pride and prosperity. Know ourselves today, what we are capable of, what we are made of and be in our own power. Know also who our frien

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

Saturday: Our air element of the Swords suit relates to action, knowledge, power, and change but change may never happen if we are indecisive about making the choice. Procrastination is worse than making a wrong decision for it holds us in an uncomfortable limbo where we know a decision needs to be made but we are unable to make it. This is where we need to ‘get out of our heads’ and listen to our heart and our intuition. Give ourselves some quiet and space to tune into our l

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

Tuesday: This week is all Cups and Swords, emotion and justice. Today another guide for us to new beginnings. Each day I wake up and give thanks for another chance to experience a day in this amazing place we call Earth. Any challenge is a learning experience and any learning experience is a step towards enlightenment which takes us to a place of freedom and peace. A place where we can live in truth without conflict where there is no need for justice for we all just are us,

Monday: Tens link us to an end of a cycle, completion and perfection. Cups energy is linked to the water element and about emotions and feelings. Water can be gentle or a powerful flood. Linked to conquest or drive in creative matters or relationships. It talks of successful relationships, marriage, long term partnerships, commitment and family dynamics. This card is also known as the Happy Ever After card. Therefore it is positive energy that steps forward for us today in w

Sunday: Feels like a while since we saw this wonderful card. I always smile when I see it for it takes me back to the Medicine Cards I used for so many years, when reading for myself and friends. The Native American Animal cards says of the spider that it was the one who created the first alphabet. Today we are given the energy of meticulous, detailed work, commitment and dedication to a personal project. Of doing one thing at a time, something we are good at, something we en

Saturday: The final card of the final suit. The King of Pentacles has completed his learning and it is now time to go in search of what makes him [us] happy. Kings are authority, leaders and protectors. Today he brings us security solidity and success. He is the epitome of great achievement and dominance in trade and enterprise. He is the fire while the Pentacles are the earth. This card is also known as the Trust card. It is associated to the Sun sign of Taurus. Taurus is ru

Friday: Feels like our hard work and attention to the guidance we have been receiving have brought us to this happy place - today we have the Happy Home card. A card of balance between personal will and relationships. Of innocent love, fun loving, concord, harmony, peace and prosperity. A card that congratulates us on reaching a milestone. Let us remember though that prosperity requires to be maintained, requires us not to fall into complacency; ‘the show will go on, the fir
