Temperance - August

A woman stands on rocks surrounded by a waterfall, stars shining behind her. She has wings, a red dress and orange hair. Blue liquid flows from two cups that she is holding, the liquid meets in the middle, connecting.

She stands confident, sure of her footing (and who she is) in the waterfall. Water represents emotions, so she is grounded and secure, not letting these emotions control her. It's time to do likewise. Stand proud and honour who you are.

Meditate whilst looking at the card, ask her what do you need to create more of the harmony and confidence that she has. Act on her guidance. 

What is she mixing? Water, cocktails? Whatever the liquid is it's meeting in the middle. One isn't competing or forcing itself to be stronger. There is equilibrium here. Work on finding this balance. 

After the Tower last month, it will be lovely to experience some calmer energy. Don't force anything at this time, just go with the flow. 

The Tower - July

A tower stands on what appears to be rocks, it is on fire and has been stuck by lightening.  A woman is falling from the building, considering her predicament she appears calm and un-phased. Over on the other side a devil figure is also falling, he looks a lot less in control than the woman, falling headfirst and spiraling out of control. At the top of the image a crown is also falling, who did this belong to? The woman, the Devil or someone we do not see?

Perhaps the tower needs to fall? A sudden change in circumstance can sometimes be what is needed to get us moving. Yes, at the time it is scary, but perhaps the collapse needs to happen to get us out of our comfort zone.

The Devil is losing control here, the woman remains calm and is going to land safely and move on. She has the choice, does she leave the scene, or will she re-build the tower? If she re-builds will it be the same as before or perhaps stronger, positive changes be made.

This is the chance to assess what is working and what’s not, get rid of what not’s and start again with stronger foundations. 

The Tower is a yellow card so linked with the solar plexus. Take time this month to look at what truly makes you shine, feel confident and full of joy. Do not be afraid to go after more of this.

The Sun - June

A woman is stood in a field of flowers, rows of lavender stretch out behind her. She holds her hands palm up absorbing the life giving energy of the sun, or, is she creating it?

The sun's rays break through the fog revealing an ancient arch behind. Perhaps it was once used as a place of worship by her ancestors, or a gateway to another dimension?

A coach and horses are coming towards the woman, it appears to have come through the arch. Are these ancestors appearing to guide her? Where will the coach take her if she gets on?

Are you going to get on the coach? If you do will they drive, or will you be in charge of your destiny?

The sun is giving you confidence and showing the way. So perhaps it's best that you take the reigns now. Have self belief and let yourself shine. Enjoy the journey.

The sun is also the greatest provider for light therapy, so ensure that you get outside into nature and soak up its rays.

Spend time meditating and listen to the guidance your ancestors give you. They want you to shine. 

Knight of Coins - May

A Knight in shining armour is coming towards us. A look of determination on his face. His black horse steps carefully over the field of flowers that are in full bloom.

Where has this Knight come from? Where is he going?

Perhaps he is the man from the four of Coins, last month? He finally put down some of his coins and realised he can travel easier without them.

It's time to get moving this month, even if it's just little steps.

There may be an opportunity coming in that needs to be explored. Go with this Knight and see where he takes you. 

Remember to keep grounded though. He's a realistic man and won't want you to rush ahead until you, and the time are ready. 

Four of Coins - April

 We have a green card for April so time to focus on the heart chakra.  

A man stands cradling the four coins, he has a focused, serious gaze but his hands look relaxed. His guard is up but a part of him wants to open his heart. Behind him rays of light shine through a path of trees, and before him we have some gold creatures flying. Are they fairies or butterflies, or both?

This man needs to put the coins down for a while and relax. The coins aren’t heavy but he’s not able to move forward easily whilst he cradles them the way he is. The problem is if he puts them down he fears he might lose them. Wonder how long he’s been holding them? Does he even remember why he has them?!

If he puts them down he can dance and play with the fairies. He can turn around and see the new path and opportunity beckoning behind him. He just needs to relax and look, it’s already there. Is he missing out on new growth due to the fear or going down a new path?

What do you need to let go of this month that no longer serves you? In what area of your life are you being this man?

If there’s been a path calling you that you’ve been avoiding, maybe now is the time to take a step towards it and see where it leads. Open your heart to new possibilities.

The Devil - March

Are you holding yourself back, or is someone or something else? Be honest with yourself.

Is the dark figure behind her someone she can't see yet or is it her shadow? A side of her she is yet to acknowledge perhaps.

Spend time this month going within. We all have a shadow side. What does yours want you to know? Does it need healing for you to move forward?

Meditate on these questions for insight on what may be keeping you stuck. 

The orange of this card, and her dress, link to the sacral chakra. Allow yourself to play and be creative this month, don't let a lack of confidence hold you back. 

Believe in yourself and treat yourself with compassion. 

Three of Wands - February

Where did January go? I kept seeing loads of comments online saying how it was dragging, but to me that flew by!

I hope you had a good first month and are safe. On to February. 

This month is all about the three of wands. 

She has ideas, dreams and she has the passion to work towards them. She can see where she wants to be and is putting a plan in place to make it happen. 

Look at that wave coming towards her. Remember to keep checking in with your emotions though. One to ensure your still going the right way, does it still feel right? Two, don't let yourself become overwhelmed, feel your way before jumping in.

It's a yellow card so linked to the solar plexus. Know that what you're visualising you can make happen, have confidence and believe. Let yourself shine!
