Hello,

Thought that was a better title than ‘The Hanged Man” For that is the card I picked at random for this weeks card.

It is asking you to look at a situation from every conceivable angle, not just ‘head on’, upside, downside, left, right, you name it, check out the situation from it. It highlights to us that things often need to be turned on their heads to make sense. When you do, the light of illumination appears at your head, (this is the same that is shown in the Hermits lamp )

It warns that if you do not look at every angle, you will stagnate and that can lead to depression, as you begin to think there is no way to change. No way out as it were.You know the old saying of doing the same thing and expecting different results?  Well that is what the Hanged Man can signify.

When this card appears in a reading I often ask the client what they are not seeing, or choosing not to deal with, that can open the dialogue to what is going on for them and in that way I can help them see possibility that may have escaped them for the moment.

You know how that can be right? Can’t see the wood for the trees…good way to describe this card.

Until the next time

I drew a card today that is very appropriate for me today, don;t you love it when that happens. Its like you are being told what you secretly know inside but are a little unsure to say out loud!

The card in question is the Queen of Pentacles, pentacles, or coins as some people prefer to call them, represent money.  This Queen is all about providing for others, often at the cost of themselves. In this day and age, Super Mum would totally identify with this Queen.

You know those women who have rosters on the fridge for lunches and wehre the kids have to be, works in the home and at an office, cooks up a storm and keeps on top of everything – except her own needs. this can and often leads to burn out and if left unattended to for too long, resentment.

When I see this card in a reading I know I am dealing with a nurturing, caring and compassionate soul, I just need to remind her to put herself on her list of ‘things to do’. She is a great and supportive friend, there is a sensuousness to her as well. What’s not to love about the Queen of Pentacles

Why was it a gift for me to see it today? Made me realise that I have been neglecting myself recently so today I did the opposite. I looked after myself and boy do I feel better for it!

Gotta love tarot..

Hi Folks

This card is one that signifies that something is bothering you so much that even whilst you are sleeping it still plays out in your dreams.

Swords represent the stronger emotions, anger, frustration, despair, worry.

When this card, the 9 of swords (trust me, there are 9, the image is shrunk to fit!) appears in a reading its time to ‘fess up’ and deal with the situation as it simply will not go away.

Sometimes when I am reading and this card appears its almost a relief for the client to then be able to talk about the issue and not bottle it up any longer.

That’s what I love about tarot – it gives you permission to free yourself.

Gotta love that!

Hi peeps!

Hope life is treating you well this fine day.  Are you freaked out by tarot? If so you’d best click out right now…

Tarot – I love it! I learned it a couple of years ago as it is so closely linked with another passion of mine, archetypes. The great Carl Jung also saw in tarot great connections to the collective unconscious.

I am a great proponent of self examination and reflection, I also realise that that journey is not for everyone and it has been enlightening for me to see that those who have issue with ‘seeing someone’ for an issue or two will instead have a tarot reading. Good on you if thats you!! You are still taking action and that’s bloody great..

The card I picked out today is……The Sun 

This is such a positive card to see in a reading. I always smile when reading this for someone as the old song ‘The sun has got its hat on hip hip hooray’ runs through my mind (yes I am strange!)

It means that what you are working towards or dreaming of will indeed come to fruition.

Your relationships will be blessed with shared happiness and it also highlights that it is time to explore your creativity  and get those ideas you have been sitting on out  of mothballs and give some serious consideration to them.

When you nourish your creativity – you flourish!

Have a sunny day peeps and catch you next week with another card
