Uruz: Represents new beginnings that have limitless potential. A certain amount of inner strength is being used here to close the door on things that are no longer loved, needed or appreciated. Nature has a way of filling voids, yet if we have no room, how can we expect to accept more into our life? A spring clean could be beneficial on many different levels.

Back in 2017, I had to return to the phone lines for a short while (financial ruin and limited options forced my hand), and it didn’t take long to start hearing from people who were questioning whether the readings they'd had were accurate because hoped for results were failing to manifest. These types of readings are usually

This is my number one go-to spread when looking at a relationship, and I mean absolutely any relationship - not just the deeply intimate ones. I first came across it in a book by Caitlin Matthews. Celtic Wisdom Tarot was first published in 1999 and uses the traditional tarot format. All of the major arcana are renamed, as are the titles of

At the ripe old age of twenty, a friend gave me my first deck (love to you, Georgina); the Astro-Tarot by Russell Grant (1992). She’d bought them for herself but didn’t get along with them, and knowing I had a love of astrology as well as tarot, she figured I’d make better use of them. And I most certainly did. The Astro-tarot is

For the court cards - most of the readers I know wouldn't use court cards as timing indicators and would instead link the page/knight with their appropriate sex and age group (usually younger). The Kings and Queens would be used similarly but for mature persons. Aleister Crowley gave a more complex method: for example, Page/Princess of

I've met many tarot readers during my time down here on the planet, and each of them had a different belief system operating behind the tools they used. One of my pet hates of people is that they assume clients should take their word as law. Some readers honestly believe that the client shouldn't question what they say.

I’ve been interested in tarot for over twenty years. I have over fifty decks in my modest collection, although most have been bought to look at and not use. For me, the artwork is the major influencing factor when deciding what to buy. All kinds of artwork are available, from the very tacky to the exceptionally

The nine of swords is one of the cards that shows distress. The kind of trouble it brings is always on the mental level, and it's usually (maybe not always) because we're trying to block our emotions from having a voice in the given situation. We always have something that we want to say when this card appears, but we're finding ways

I hate the eight of swords. Well, okay, so maybe the word hate is a tad extreme, but when I see it, my insides react, and I think Noooooooo. It's not the worst card in the pack, but it means a serious amount of torment for a girl like me. The reason for this? I need my headspace to be free so that I can write and get on with the other things

I went through a phase a while back where this card was a frequent visitor to my readings. I can't say that I have any intense feelings when I see it, but it does give me cause to worry for so many different reasons. At a very basic level, this card indicates sneakiness and says that you are not on your guard when you need to be.

The seven of cups is a strange card, and I still remember the times it has been active in my life. During one of the more recent occasions, I realised there is a major connection between this card and a condition called limerence. This is a label for when you get seriously obsessed with someone. It's like you fall in love with love itself. ed to the other side of the universe?

The King of Wands is powerful on a soul level. He can be charming and usually quite laid back and tolerant. One of his finest qualities is the ability to live and let live. Whilst he has strong personal ethics, he rarely tries to impose his standards on others. Will either travel the world or explore the mind. Interesting to know and rarely dull.

The Queen of Wands is the representative of the archetypal warrior woman. She can be compassionate and understanding but does not suffer fools. She can be incredibly outspoken and is apt to bluntness. Her need for honest self-expression comes from deep within and has little to do with societal rules of what is acceptable. When she tells you how it is

Personal freedom. Sometimes shows a foreign person coming into your life or extensive travel for you. Not usually ready to settle down. A lively and distinctive personality that thrives on unique individuals. The Knight of Wands hates routine and may have an aversion to authority. Traditionally, the knights are supposed to be under

Creative intelligence, honest, outspoken and active. An attractive personality with an interest in life itself. Can be reckless and impatient. Could be too demanding for some to tolerate. If this card represents an actual person (or you), then you can expect a high degree of energy to be present. She may be bossy and arrogant when

This card indicates a feeling of being hugely overburdened by circumstances with little you can do about it. Sometimes there will be a way out, but it's usually unpleasant because it means having to let someone down. Or maybe you will appear selfish? Not that there is anything wrong with either of those scenarios, but we are

The appearance of this card means there is pressure around you, and you may find it very difficult to complete even menial everyday tasks. It does not necessarily mean that circumstances will be bad, but this card does show up when your energy is depleted. With the nine of wands, there can be a reluctance to get

This card is telepathy in action. If it appears in a reading when a question has been asked about another person, it is saying that the answers are already known. Conversations that are taking place in the mind should be listened to, and if this has not been done, then it advises you to try talking to the person in your head to see what

When this card appears, it usually indicates having to stand your ground over a principle or ethic. There is a lot of energy and willpower here but also a caution to check that you are standing firm for the right reasons and not just being childishly obstinate because you're not getting your own way. There is the possibility

This card indicates success and victory. A feeling of expansion and joy is usually present after receiving good news or some other positive indication that you have achieved whatever it was that you wanted. Often this card will indicate public recognition and even fame if your career is in the public eye. It's an excellent card for those in
