Tuesday: The Pages are the messengers of the suits and are enthusiastic and youthful in their vibe. Today’s Page of Wands brings us the message of creativity and passion. There are many forms of creativeness and we are all capable of doing something that falls within that; even though we may ‘think’ we don’t. Music is currently high in vibration for me and in being asked to share this card with you. I feel that we are being asked to open our ears to messages being sent throug

Friday: We may not be able to see the way ahead, but, have we ever considered that this was a ‘signpost’ for us, to make us more aware of where we are, right here, right now? Today’s card is encouraging us to make decisions even though we cannot see what lays ahead. Are we ready to embrace the unknown? Have we embraced the energies of faith and trust? There is something that can assist us with that and it is called intuition, but, we have to quieten our monkey minds so that w

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

Monday: Today we start the new week with the fated energy of the penultimate major arcana card. Judgement is personal, it is never something that should be levelled at another. If we find ourselves doing that then we may look within and consider why we are consciously choosing to judge another rather than ourselves. Can we find that place of peace that allows others to be themselves and find the truth of who we are? The Shadowscapes Companion book says in the meaning of this

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

Monday: First of three major arcana this week is the Emperor. There is a strong essence around just now that all things are not as they seem. How have you been feeling through the Equinox energies? The Shadowscapes Companion book says of the Emperor: ‘is a man rooted in his ways and views and regimens but confident that this is the right structure and way of things.’ It is the right way for him. He takes the seed of the Empress and makes it grow. A time for us to bring solid

Tuesday: First of our twos this week and from the suit of Wands. Another regular visitor to our readings bringing us Mars the planet of war in the fiery sign of Aries. Two follows the Ace which was of the new beginnings. We had one and now we have two. Some things in life are easier when there are two. Two brings balance, options, choice. When we know not which choice to make then the worst scenario is in not making the choice. One or the other is better than none. Be gentle

Friday: The way ahead may be veiled from view but if we believe, if we trust, have faith, then anything is possible. Let us flex the gratitude attitude and constantly pull ourselves back to the present, working on what we can do today. The future will step forward in its own time but let us not allow today to go past without having had some joyful moments within it. Let us employ ourselves to the things that make us happy and consider the seeds we want to plant with the new m

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

Tuesday: As I write this for Tuesday I am given the name Pericles and check him out via the net. But there was something more, I knew I had also to search him with lion, and here we have it. On the night before Pericles was born, his mother dreamt that she gave birth to a lion cub! Pericles was responsible for Athenian democracy being an example to the rest of Greece. He had political vision and was a talented speaker. Athenians were free to express their opinion no matter t

Saturday: This weeks major arcana sets us up in the energy we need to carry us through the weekend and what we have is asking for moderation and calm. Time to open up to the flow of life and instead of push, push, pushing – take a step back and allow life to come to you for a change, especially on days off from work etc. Time to acknowledge when your head wants to over-rule your heart, check it and let the heart guide you. Let go of the things we cannot change – that was then

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

Tuesday: First of two fours this week, this card is also known as the Happy Home card or the 11:11 card. Fours can be about foundations, safety, security, stability and structure while on a negative aspect can be about being rigid and stubborn. We are given this four via the suit of Wands today which are about fire energy, creation, expansion and will. Fire energy brings us passion and there is a lot of love around currently with the waning energy of the full moon in Virgo a

Thursday: The step beyond the five of wands that showed up for us on Sunday, this is the victory card. The Shadowscapes Companion Book tells us: ‘One has prevailed and overcome many obstacles to come out on top. But you must beware falling prey to hubris and lassitude [arrogance and apathy] that uncontested victory may bring, and not become lost in self-importance.’ The guidance we have been receiving has been asking us to move out of the ego mind and find ourselves through l

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: A palindrome date today mirroring the year. Are there things that need mirroring in our lives today? The Judgement card pays us a visit and we are being asked: Are there things that we need to give more consideration too, to re-think? The card is associated to fire energy so comes in with creativity, enthusiasm, and passion but don’t let that excitable energy blind us to the truth of something. We may find that there are decisions to be made and we all know that deci

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

Sunday: Ending our week with the card that is also known as the Wounded Warrior. The battles, trials and tribulations that we have endured on our journey through this life have taught us many a lesson and made us wiser human beings. But, have we learned these lessons on the level of the ego mind only or have we found the loving heart that beats for us day in and day out, allowing us to experience this soul learning? It has been proved that the heart has memory. Therefore it

Friday: More fiery passion today with the royal Knight bowling us over in the zest of his quest. Fast and extreme are two words to describe him. Knights are air energy and today with the Wands fire power he is blowing up a storm without seeing what is going on around him; eyes on the prize as he charges on through. He is ambitious and an adventurer. There may be an offer being proffered to us today and it seems that it will be an easy answer, yes or no. Do not let bluster and

Thursday: We may find ourselves taking a wee step back today from yesterday's 5 card to today’s 4. But, with that we are still in major arcana energy and with foundation, stability and structure energy. The Emperor has within him the power of the four kings, he is an initiator who takes the seed of the Empress and makes it grow. He is associated with the fire sign of Aries with dominance, force and leadership passions energising from this fiery sign. Today is a day for taking
