Wednesday: Two days on from the new moon we have the fortuitous and prosperous ace of pentacles. Aces are our gifts from the Universe, the new beginnings, potential but on which we have to take action for ‘nothing grows in a void.’ The Shadowscapes Companion book says: ‘It is the possibility of prosperity, abundance and security. It is the promise of wealth and well-being, of flourishing and reaping the rewards of hard work. Energy spent will see returns. A seed has been drop

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

Wednesday: My description for this card is ‘going against the grain’ and either we are the one ‘pushing against the tide’ or ‘running with the pack’. Today’s energy could see us falling into either camp. Today I am being made aware that flamboyant gestures are unnecessary if we should find that we are the one in a different place to a group of others. Look out for ourselves today and allow others to make their own decisions also. We can choose to go with them or go on our own

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

Wednesday: Drawn straight to the Shadowscapes Companion book once more to share for today's card: ‘It is the possibility of creativity excitement, adventure, a challenge to step forward with courage and confidence. . . . Seize this wild opportunity and glory in the blaze.’ Ace of Wands is the first card of the suit and the minor arcana. It is full of fire energy and of the essence of new beginnings. This energetic card is about moving towards what excites you; always a good s

Wednesday: Staying with the suit of wands today we have a visit from the card also known as ‘The Wounded Warrior.’ The energy that I feel with this is that ‘there is no point in crying over spilt milk’ that just makes it doubly worse! Time to look beyond all that has happened and allow ourselves to move forward with more of a spring in our step. Today planet Mars enters the sun sign of Gemini bringing us some ease to our movement than that of late. The book talks about mainta

Wednesday: We return to Cups today and the change energy of the number five. Did we heed the royal call yesterday and jump to action, or did we listen to our emotions and intuition doing what was right for us? How do you feel if I tell you I had a day of in-action yesterday? Does that ‘rub you up the wrong way’ or are you comfortable that we all have to do what is right for us, regardless what others tell us? We are in charge of our own lives! A card today of challenge, poss

Wednesday: Nice switch in energy today with this card and again the Medicine Cards by Jamie Sams & David Carson call to me. The Spider, card 43 = 7 energy in numerology while this card is an eight. Moving on! They [Spirit] show me how I have moved on from when I started working with the Medicine Cards thirty years ago and now I favour the Shadowscapes today. This is the way of life, forever changing and evolving. If we hold ourselves in the energy of ‘same old’ then that is

Wednesday: Happy to welcome the Queen of Wands today with guidance for us and I am drawn to check out the Shadowscapes Companion book once more, glad I did. It says. ‘Her presence exudes confidence and the knowledge that she can handle anything and anyone. It is not arrogance but a simple understanding and truthful assessment of her skills and abilities’. . . guarding against temptation to a darker purpose. Therefore she has decided to work for love and light. It is a time

Wednesday: Number five of the major arcana, we are guided today to be in the energy of change, challenges, and disruption which fits with our current astrology of a retrograde planet Mercury. Meanwhile it also speaks of conflict, instability and uncertainty which is basically what is going on in the world around us. This card is associated with Taurus and currently we have the planet Uranus transiting Taurus. This planet is known as ‘God of the sky and the heavens. It balks a

Wednesday: Our second slice of Fool sandwich asks us to step forward with confidence and courage. It is full of the energies of adventure, challenge, excitement, and growth of our new path ahead. All fires start from one spark. What spark of creativity or inspiration is knocking at our door today? Do not concern ourselves with what other people think about what is right for us, be our unique and individual self. People are quick to judge but do not let that dissuade us from

Wednesday: Second day with the same card 2 x 6’s = being on the right path. Have we taken the opportunity to go within during these days of lock-down that in some way, shape or form nearly all of humanity has been experiencing? We are being guided to stand in our own power, not in competition of others but, in embracing our individuality, finding what is right for us in this life and allowing ourselves to be there. Then we may find other people to be in community with. Any vi

Wednesday: A run of cards 7,8,9 and today we go back to 1, the Ace of the suit. But we are not stepping backwards, we are on a spiralling journey that has no beginning and no end. Embrace the power of now and being you, here, now. The Shadowscapes Companion book tells us: ‘It is the possibility of creativity, excitement, adventure, a challenge to step forward with courage and confidence. . . like flint striking tinder, inspiration blooms from that illumination.’ Being withi

Wednesday: ‘Being carried along on a wing and a prayer’ is what comes to me today for this card. The youngest of the royals, the Page is known for youthful energy, enthusiasm and is a messenger. We have the air energy of the Swords suit and the earth energy of the Page which suggests two 'camps', above and below. We are being asked to take a higher perspective, to think differently to the way we have allowed ourselves to believe it was the way to be, following the crowd, the

Wednesday: Another visit from our major arcana Strength card, last with us on Sunday. Do we need to have this reminder, this reinforcement guidance on the day when the last full moon of the year goes exact at 03:28 hours GMT? This full moon, known as the Cold Moon, is in its home sign of Cancer. Remember this card was originally known as The Mastery of Thoughts and we have received many messages from the recent card readings that ask us to get to know ourselves and be able t

Wednesday: As has been said before this card was once known as the card of choice. Let us not blinker our sight to believe that it is only about couple love connections, open our minds to wider relationships and how we choose to see them. What were we wishing for yesterday following the cup of joy on Monday? The Mars/Pluto energy around just now can be harnessed in a positive way as in assisting us to e.g. ‘get the job done’ but be careful not to trample on others to meet the

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
