February 23rd.

Everyone is talking about the fire horse energy that has arrived!

Instead of feeling excited and motivated, I’m just putting one step in front of the other one day at a time and taking naps. I cleared my cupboards and now what?

What is going on? Where’s this flurry of new energy? Why am I not feeling it?

Aper fect question to put to the tarot cards. I decided on a three card tarot reading.

1. Present situation (where am I?)

2. Context (what’s going on? tell me more so I understand)

3. How to navigate this moment?

This is how it turned out.

1. The Page of Swords. The page of swords gets up on higher ground so he has a better perspective of his surroundings, and gets a little distance from things and uses his intellect/mind (swords) to decide what he wants and how to go about it. This is a moment to take a step forward, be strategic and look for the window of opportunity.

There is something wonderful direct about the page of swords. The page of Swords is all about seeing what opportunities are out there and being opportunistic, he’s going to use his mind, intellect and intention to get what he wants. His first step is to take a good look round…..

And here I am on the sofa having another nap.

2. Context – DEATH.

Well that got me to sit up! How many times have we had the death card in the last couple of months. Three times? Talk about the Tarot making the point crystal clear that we are at an ending of how things were and the beginning of a brand new era. And while Death brings with it transformation it doesn’t promise that it’s going to be instant. Something, someone, dies, it’s an ending, the new era is only just beginning. There is grief that goes with death. There is letting go. There is shedding. It’s a process and everyone is different. A loss of how things were and for the moment no clear view of what the new era is going to look like. Of course there are times when we might feel good riddance. But that’s not the vibe I’m getting. I’m getting the feeling of astonishment, yes thank goodness the old order is collapsing, but what about the chaos and misery for so many, yes the world as we know does seem to be falling apart fast, everything is changing but…..and there’s the blank, and perhaps why I actually feel a bit dazed by the loss of trust, of faith in the world we built, what happened to our old values, simpler times when we knew what was what before we got taken over by so much on offer from our screens and social media. Even if lots of it is wonderful. And it is. I love our technology it is fabulous in so many ways. But I do feel anxiety (personally) about how we as a society and as humans are changing. I haven’t caught up with the implications that this fire horse energy will bring, I havent formed a personal view of what might be possible. Well it looks like the page of swords is staying prepare. take a look. see this window of opportunity and take it? Even if we don’t feel ready.

Again I am reminded of last week’s reading, which said quite categorically, DO NOT LOOK BACK, do not keep your attention focussed on what is going on and be distracted, look forward and put your attention (super power) on what you want to create. And how many times do we need to get the Death card to get the point.

That’s why I love the Tarot. It has a way of saying things that brings clarity!

And also great advice…..Card 3 How best to navigate through this present situation? Best way forward…..Two of Cups – choose to connect to someone or something you love, be it friendship, partnership, a lover, soul mate, your work, service, hobby, let it be based in partnership, in sharing and equality, let it be seeded in the heart, in love.

What perfect advice when you don’t know what to do. Choose what you love, to share, friendship, community, partnership.

I am going to choose Nature to help seed hope in my heart. I can’t tell you the pleasure and wonder I get from listening to bird song and seeing the daffodils wave and smile. Perhaps it is time for a new dog? Now there’s an idea

All two’s in tarot are about choice, the two of cups speaks of us taking an emotional choice. Choose to connect to what you love and seed this new Era. Connection and Love.

Do come and have a tarot reading with me in Battersea or online. Online tarot readings work so well I find.

The Death card again!

Don’t look back!
