CARD OF THE WEEK

In this deck, the suit of Cups becomes Emotions, encouraging us to connect with what matters to our hearts. And instead of the King, we have the Muse, representing the qualities and wisdom of the suit. Click the blog for the full reading

I feel this card is suggesting that the next part of our journey might not be quite as straightforward as we'd hoped! trength card encourages us to draw upon our inner strength, willpower and determination. Perhaps it's a good time to remind ourselves why we started this journey in the first place. What are we trying to achieve, and why does it matter to us? Remembering our reasons may help us find the determination to keep going. Click the blog for the full reading

THE FOOL. Well what about this! Last week our card was the very last of the 22 Major Arcana, The World, symbolising the completion of a life cycle. This week we have The Fool, which is the card that begins the Major Arcana (being number 0), and a wonderfully apt signal that as one cycle ends, another is ready to begin.

THE WORLD - the Card for this week is one of the 22 Major Arcana cards. Not only that, but it is the final card of the Majors, usually indicating the end of a cycle. I feel that The World is asking us to recognise where something in our own life has reached, or is approaching, its natural conclusion.

For me, Sixes encourage us to keep going. We may have moved through some emotional disruption or uncertainty, but we're not at the end of the journey yet. There's still more to do. This card feels more about accepting what has already happened, settling, and allowing things to develop.

You'll no doubt be aware what's taking up your mind space at the moment. It might be with regards to working out how to tackle a potentially difficult conversation or situation, or figuring out the next step in business or career, or perhaps preparing for an exam or interview. Whatever it is, our Four of Swords is saying create some breathing space so that you can go in with a clear head.

The Queen of Pentacles This week we have a Court Card. I always consider the Court Cards as a family. So along with the Kings, Knights and Pages, our Queens often represent ourselves or someone/something significant in our story. Pentacles represent our physical, practical world. So here we're looking at money, finances, our home and belongings or health. Pentacles can also represent 'unit's of our life such as family, work, friendships as a whole unit (rather than the i

For me, the Four of Wands is asking us to acknowledge what we've achieved so far, take a breath and consider what you'd like to come next. That could relate to life in general, or perhaps there's a particular project, ambition or situation that immediately springs to mind. (I know exactly what it means for me! 🙈)

He's back!! This week we've got he Knight of Swords again - he last made an appearance just a few weeks ago! Yikes! ⚔️ The energy I feel from this Knight of Swords is far more intense and confrontational than the one that faced us just a few weeks ago! Back then, our Knight encouraged us to go forward even if we didn't feel completely qualified or experienced for the task ahead. This time, looking at this particular card, I hear something closer to a battle cry!

We've a Minor Arcana card this week, and one that looks very busy. That's quite appropriate here, because intense is exactly how I see the Nine of Wands! So why is that energy feeling so intense?

I don't use this deck on a day to day basis, but was drawn to it just now. And I've noticed that this King of Swords isn't ready to fight. He has the armour, a shield, the chain of office and a long, sharp sword - but it's pointing down, not upwards ready to take action.

Another Knight! This final week of July, we've once again drawn the energy of a Knight. As always, the cards don't tell us what will happen. Instead, they invite us to pause, reflect and ask ourselves the questions that matter.

This week we've drawn one of the Court Cards – the Knight of Swords. Questions to Consider Have I been overthinking instead of taking action? Am I waiting until I feel completely ready? Is it time to stop analysing and simply begin?
