Wiccan Oracle Reading

By Violet

22nd January 2019

Dear Wiccascopians,

I am writing this on a cold Sunday afternoon, tucked up in something warm and fleecy. I’ve Madame Butterfly on in the background, and a gallon of tea beside me.  A perfect afternoon.

I am really enjoying preparing and sharing these cards and their meanings, that apply to you.  Those of you who started the year running, will find things a little gentler, those who have had an easier slide into the year will be encouraged to start jogging along a bit now.  Nature’s true balance at work. If I really studied it from an expert’s point of view what I pick up on is the synchronicity of opposite signs, and the types of signs, air, water, fire, and earth, sharing similar cards sequentially. For these cards are hand drawn from a freshly cleansed and shuffled and reshuffled deck each week. So, there is something to be said for listening to what our guides say, when they want something said or done, they make it known.

From my Wiccan point of view, I’ve been taking stock of my environment, workspace, home and those around me.  That in itself has been very interesting, and a bit demanding.  With surges of energy, and zero energy.

For you all too I feel the message this week is also balance, by all means keep going forwards in your dreams, aims and goals, but take a packed lunch and drink with you, and blanket to rest on so you can take in the view whilst you go about it. This is not a race, and there’s no right or wrong way to be you, you just are simply you.

I will add on a final note, read the other cards meanings, for when I draw them, I feel they weave a story, and can tell us all a little something.  And at least help us understand our friends and family of those star signs. And we are made up of different aspects in our natal charts, so will strongly relate to other signs.  I am Aquarius rising, and Aquarius moon, so really resonate with those cards too.

Enough from me please enjoy the readings

Violet

Blessed be

Capricorn

Cord – Initiation

Energy Point – Soul

Theme – Initiation, willpower

Capricorn, warm greetings to you, 

The cord!  What is a cord?  Something that is made of a variety of materials, that binds things together, can be tied into a not, and form strong connections.  Whenever we meet someone, we send out invisible tentative cords, even if only know them for the shortest time.  In order to communicate with that person, that tethering sends signals and feelings to and fro.  For good and for bad.  When we end our physical association with that person, we are left with a memory of that time. However brief.  Depending on the kind of connection you formed and your viewpoint of it, versus the connection the other person formed by them and their view point. Some cords break instantly and painlessly.  Some not so, and that is where we have to carry out cord cutting rituals.

Another vital cord is the umbilical cord that sends us that essential life force in preparing us to be born.  The cauldron acts the womb for creation, thus the cord appearing now connects you to a cauldron and prepares you.  You will be nurtured with energy, and information that will help you prepare, connect and create.

It won’t be clear where you are going, it is a journey where you have trust that you are being guided in the right direction.  It will be exciting and new, so why would you not want to be a part of it?

What if you feel more scared than pleased about this? Embrace the power of the serpent, it’s courage and divergent thinking will help you ease your way into it. Work with both the serpent and the cord to release from the old, and tether to the new.

Please don’t panic there is nothing that you cannot cope with on its way to you, and there is light at the end of the tunnel.  This is a fabulous card to get, telling you that Capricorns you can do this.  Believe and know that you are in control, and are already set to start this very positive journey.

Activity

One of my favourite things to do when trying to be free to evolve and achieve.

Sit down please, or lay down, just focus on your gentle breathing.

Imagine you are sat on a boat, it’s your boat or ship, and you’ve just sailed or driven into a harbour for a bit of rest, and a pit stop. For you are on a journey in this vessel.

Just scan the people there with you, consider each one, in turn. In this realm, where this boat sails all the cords that bind you to them are lit up in neon colours, regardless of their material. Be it silk ribbon, rope, or the finest yet strongest spider thread.  Look at each one in turn, and consider your honest gut feelings for them, what binds you? Is it good or bad? 

You also have a golden pair of scissors with you. If you want to, all you have to do, [I say all, it’s actually a free will exercise, and could be bound by fear, or out-dated beliefs] is snip those cords.  When you are done reviewing your connections past and present, call for the life boat, and let those people disembark your ship and leave your memory bank, along with the negative feelings you had about them that were holding you back.

I admit this is a very difficult thing to do if the trauma of an event left a deep scar.  Someone very kindly advised me to keep at it and do some cleansing rituals as well. I will be doing this ritual with you.

You can repeat this until you feel cleansed and healed.

Peaks – Tethering, bind yourself to your future.

Troughs – Letting go of old ties.

Aquarius

Silver bough – Love and Happiness

Energy Vibration – Love – Heart Chakra

Theme -Universal love happiness and health

Aquarius, hullo and greetings?  Transcendence or rising to join the higher realm as an earthbound being as part of your spiritual journey.   A broomstick to help you clear the decks and make space so that you can do so.

What next!?!  Aphrodite sends you the gift of the Silver bough, which comes from an apple tree.  This is a symbol of love and its healing being sent to you. Apples are a very spiritual fruit, and are left on altars as offerings to our loved ones in spirit.

They are also a very healthy fruit, so ensure you nurture yourself.

A happier time is around you with the opportunity for universal love, and potentially romantic connections being shown for you also.

Healing aspects will be a feature of this love being sent to you now, particularly to your heart chakra, any heartache you have felt recently may feel lighter and more distant.

If you are feeling positive about you love life and social connections now, you will have a deeper sense of happiness.

Friendships old and new feature strongly, you will be branching out literally if you want to, and pruning back where you want to.  Engagement parties may feature, or long-term arrangements may be cemented.

You are a butterfly at this time or could be, as your interactions between friends, family and colleagues will be organic and easy going.

If your support network is lacking, or you find that you feel lonely in anyway, this lovely card gently suggests its time you reconnect with positive friendships and shared some contentment.  But akin with the other readings, it’s no surprise to hear that you may have a sense of trepidation about as you are also a fiercely independent person.

Please have no fear for you are entitled to feel and give love.

Activity

Let’s do this lovely positive affirmation.

Sit quietly, and place your hands on your tummy, breathe in and out slowly. Do these 3 times, draw the breath to your abdomen each time.

Then return to a normal breathing state.

Say, “I am love, I am loving, I am worthy of pure unconditional love.”

And believe it for it is true.

High note – Your heart is ready for love and harmony.

Low note – Be realistic about where your heart belongs.

Pisces

The Wizard – Spiritual perfection

Energy vibration – Spiritual connections

Theme – Perfection, and ego.

Hello Pisceans, greetings, it seems that The Queen of Elphame is visiting the water signs, were you able to see clearly better through new eyes?

Was your time with the queen of charm and Magyck positively spent? Did others comment on your aura or demeanour?

Link into that the card of your year, the candle and you are really being shown a nice gentle way of working things out.

If you feel you still have work to do on this, you can revisit her land anytime you wish to get such inspiration, for you have been given access to a very special place of healing and insight.  Now you have a new card.

Expect a gentle but firmer action with this one! Your being eased into your path I am afraid is over. But you are ready.

Abracadabra…here is the Wizard.  He is the wise, slightly aloof tour guide who will take you on your journey.  A sorcerer he enchants all those he crosses paths with and offers along with knowledge and a touch of magic.  He has come to help you now.

Think of Gandalf strolling through a forest, quietly dispatching lessons and gentle but firm power wherever he goes. 

Be aware though you could be attracted to others who doing the same as you, but for different reason, serving their own egos.  Keep yourself grounded and true, trust your instincts. 

The wizard gives you the insight in knowing who, how, why, where and when.

The downside of this, well it’s not a downside, a bonus really with caution on its usage.  Responsibility and authority come to you now, use it with compassion.

Standing perhaps alone, it’s all about your ego now, you are coming from your most base, primal, inner self. Balance is called for.

Your wisdom is spiritually very strong now, and will continue to grow from this point onwards, if you relax and go at the wizards metred pace.

If you are on a spiritual path expect to meet a new spirit guide, it could be a wizard, to guide you through your next phase in this life.

Activity

Let’s use this one again, it suits this card very much.

Withdraw from the madding crowd, recharge your heart chakra.  Take this time to audit, review and evaluate your life. 

What is important to you

Peaks – Taking action now will reap results.

Troughs – A sense loneliness may be felt, as others may not be on the same page as you.

Aries

The Wand – Focus

Energy vibration –: Connective.

Theme –: Intention, action.

Welcome Aries people, is your year full on enough yet? You do have a lot going on, and I feel you are person of lists and plans, and then moments of, ‘argggggh’, make it all stop.

For you started it with the full-on energy of the pentacle, manifesting, and making things happen, also dealing with difficult situations.   You really being guided to see your potential. 

This next card is a gift. Every planning board needs a pointer, or a marker pen.  You have the wand!

Aries for you the wand is the wand is the extension of your arm and hand, or a baton pointing and directing your new prepared and honed energy.

My wands are from an array of shops over the years, where I spent ages just picking up and holding, and tuning into them.  They are all picked to do their very own job.

The message here is:

First look at the demands being made of you – pause, step back and breath.

Ask what you really need to do.

What tools you need to achieve those things.

What support are you going to need?

Be resolute, if your goal harms no one else, but serves you for good, don’t be talked out of it.

And… be careful where you point it!  A wand misdirected with intention, and power could have accidental consequences you didn’t bank on.

The universe is urging you to a think about the decisions you make now, and says you do have a choice and autonomy in those decisions.

Activity

This is a good card for you Aries.

It comes at the time of a full moon also, so you can review your year or first 21 days of it, how is it looking? 

Full to the brim, let the waning moon take away what you don’t need, use your wand to point these things out. Then use it again, to focus on going forward with revised plans, and new ideas.  You are a moon child, the moon brings light to things you need to look at and change, the wand works with the moon.

Peaks –: Focus, direction, action.

Troughs – Aries a testing time on your patience.

Taurus

The Cone of Power – Energy

Energy Vibration – Solar plexus chakra

Theme – Energy, attention, application

Oh, Taurus hello, as Yoda would say, (forgive my Star Wars inner geek here), but, ‘Strong the force is in you!’ You’ve been told 2019 is a year for reflection, perception and seeing with new vision. Along comes Athame, much like the wand to come focus sharply where you want to be and how you are going to do this.  Then you get the cone of power. 

Yes, I know you had this at Christmas, and these cards are shuffled and cleansed. But I nearly put it back, I was told no.  This time it comes with more developed, deeper intention.  With attitude.

You didn’t fail with its last time, it’s just saying, ‘time to go to the cone room and get a new cone’.

Think of the cone as a battery, or chakra power recharge unit. The cone you need now, will help heal a fresh issue.

‘Vitality’, is yours.  Feeling a little flat? Or tired? I would not be surprised if after this energised start to the year you do need to recharge. Ta dah, feel the healing energy.

I feel you will notice this power healing, top to toe, inside and out.

This is a good week for your friends and family to be around you. They need your energy to help and support them. The cone will help you, help them.

You may be seen as a leader, and talented, so your career is starred.

Be wary that this new energy doesn’t go to your head.  Keep your feet on the ground, have patience with other people going at a slower pace.

If you overwhelmed, ask for help.

Activity

Time to chill.

Nothing active about this activity. Just find some you time, if you meditate, great, if you don’t, then just rest.

Maybe get some healing if you can. But just contemplate your fate, and let the ideas and solutions come to you. But this is about you time and your energy.

Peaks – You are on fire.

Troughs – Don’t burn out.

Gemini

Spider – “I can”, “I will succeed, manifest and create my desires”.

Energy Focus – Solar plexus chakra

Theme – Repetitions, cycles, self-determination, self-expression

Gemini put a log on the fire, pull up a chair, let’s talk about your year so far.  You had the cone of power as your Year card 2019, energy, healing, focus, solutions.  All these gifts will be made available to you throughout the year.  The sword gives voice to your hopes and dreams, focussing you on your road to achieving your dreams. 

The spider is a determined creature, they don’t give up. 

You are being sent the power of this tenacious creature.  Tarantula, Black widow, Huntsman or a tiny mite of a spider, they are all industrious, focussed and weavers of their designs. It’s time with help to make your dreams happen.

If like a lot of people, you may be naturally afraid of them. Like a lot of creatures, we have an innate response to respond with fear when we see them in order to stay alive.

I have spoken before of the Norse belief in the Web of Wyrd. A place where, things that will come to pass. They believed that the Norns had the job of weaving our fates and all other creatures into the Web of Wyrd.

You can spin the spider’s beautiful strong silk thread from your body, anywhere, any direction, to help you walk or climb away from a place you don’t want to be. I always think of Spider-Man when I write this card’s meaning up.

Spin a newly designed, up to date web that can hold your new ideas, and hopes, so  that you can evolve.

Activity

I mentioned Spiderman before, so let’s have some fun with this.  There you are in your super hero stretchy costume, it has its spider silk in the wrist area.

Off you go imagine yourself seeing your goals, dreams and that plan of yours. Shoot and aim for it, then fly off in that direction.  If you need to capture ideas, spin a web to catch those ideas that will nurture your creative energy as you fly around doing your thing.

Peaks – It’s your vision create away!

Troughs – Be on your guard for nae sayers and spies.

CANCER

SIX RAYED STAR

Unification

Energy vibration – The heart

Theme – Unification, union, balance

Oh, Cancerians welcome to this week, with the Green Man giving you roots, stability and growth this year and the Cone of Power giving you such potent life force in order to do exactly what a tree should do.

Flourish, produce buds, flowers and bear fruit.  The card this week the Six Rayed Star relates in physicality to the tree, in that great balance is required now.  The tree has to have strong roots and core to bear its load, the star, comes along to give just that.

How is that juggling act you are doing going?  Put down the batons or balls, and stop.  First how much sleep are you getting? Are you making time to eat well and enjoy it?  Do you rest, socialize and work in the appropriate amounts? 

Make sure you are doing that if you can, look, it’s a real world and we all work hard at something, there are lots of demands on us, but you are being told to address the above energy distribution.

Take time again to reflect on the ying and yang aspects of you. What does the hormone testosterone do for or to you, it gives you the wings to flee, or the courage, or force to stand up for yourself or others.  Are you being assertive or aggressive? Temper the delivery of your responses if so.

Perhaps the opposite applies you just can’t deal with drama’s and want to hide until it’s all over. Don’t worry, balance is here, less fear or caution or more faith in yourself to say what you have to say and do what you have to do.

Activity

Tools required –:

A piece of paper

A pen

Some time

Draw a six rayed star or six-pointed star. 

In the middle of the star write the name or aim of your goal.

Then work your way around the points with 6 positive factors that are going to help you achieve it.  I.E Sleep, Eat, Play.

Draw a connective line from each point to the centre.  This is you being fed balance.

Stick that drawing up by your desk or somewhere you work to remind you to check your energy levels every now and then.   

Peaks – Inspiration through evenly distributed energy.

Troughs –Others may want more of you than you give.

Leo

Sword

Hopes and dreams

Chakra – Throat

Theme – Hopes dreams, honesty

Leo dear lion, so nice of you to come here. Well you were linking into and disconnecting from associations that no longer help you or were any good for you. With the full moon build up too it was an apt card for you, bringing everything to a head, and a wolf moon eclipse may have left you feeling the full force of unresolved issues.  Along with your Year card 2019, the mighty serpent telling you that it’s about production, wisdom and your sexuality. 

Hopefully you have a real sense of who you are now and what it is that you want to do.

Are you ready some work now? The cards have been kind or gentle, but now drill sergeant sword is here to say sit up, let’s go.  It’s holistic work out time. Which you are being helped with by the Sword.

Imagine you’re in the court of King Arthur, in your armour, with your sword and shield to help in your endeavours.

Linking into the tarot’s sword suit deck, it speaks of action through communication, swiftness and being in the now. No more dwelling on what was, but focussing on change.  So, whether you identify with the Ace, King, Queen of swords, or Knight of swords, the delivery is the same in varying amounts according to age and personality. With a touch as light air, or the ability to cut through air with your sword. This is you right now. Slick and wasting no time.

However.

So please compassionate with less driven people in your life, throw in a little patience too.

I’d add one thing of my own bit of special advice here, this card gives you all this energy, as does the snake, and the cord made some big changes for you. 

Take some time out every day to just breath, reflect and see how well you are doing. Because you are doing well. Making changes so deftly can take it out of you

Activity

I changed the activity that normally goes so well with this card, because it’s so akin to cutting old ties with your cord card, well it could be too much to do in a fortnight. So, I think that whilst you are making all these great changes, and creating your future you should do just what I said right above there.

If the weather allows, get outside and find a pointed stick, or branch.  If you have sword, toy or real, take that.

Go out and find a spot of ground, with either sand, soil, or even snow/soft ice, and make out patterns in it.  Notice how you make your mark you’re your sword connects to the surface, what pattern do you make?  What words do you write.  Don’t over think it, play like a child would, making the mark on unblemished ground.

Peaks – Knowledge, clear focus, decision

Troughs – Hold your tongue if you feel impatient with others

VIRGO

The Familiar – Alliance

Energy vibration – Astral

Theme – Alliance, support, friendship

Virgo – Well hello! You’re focussed, empowered and connected yes! Or not quite yet? Don’t worry, for you’ve planted the seeds and I said by autumn you will feel like a different person.  Stronger, with knowledge you thought you’d never have, and self-belief and confidence of a calm and gathered nature.

This week’s card is the familiar.  Is there a creature you really connect with, are they via a spiritual connection or earthly one?  Really take time out to talk to this creature now, build on the strong connection you already have with them, listen to what they have to say.

Purrrrrrfect!  My cats are sat with me so I had to put that, they are so attune with spiritual light working energy. A powerful friend to have around, a guide, a guard, confidant, friend.  A familiar helps you to connect to energy that promotes healing, and they emit their own vibrant magical energy. I was born with pets to welcome me, and hate for my home to be without them.

Let’s talk love, social connections and associations, the world needs you in it, and to be an active universal part of it. 

I will use my tree analogy again, as it’s so adaptable and especially apt here.

The world is the earth, a place to put your roots, allow your trunk to be fed from the feet up to your head, if you hold your arms out wide and open, you have branches on which to grow boughs to bear your life story.  As you grow, you attract insects to pollenate your tree, to grow more branches. 

Figuratively speaking, when you are connecting to others you are adding branches and boughs to your tree. Look after it, nurture it, let it grow and know people want to grow with you. They want to be part of your world, and you a part of theirs.

If you perhaps felt it was time to get a pet, it may be a whisper that it’s time.

To sum up then, reach out, accept friendship, love support.

Activity

I really love this one and it makes me smile every time I do it. So, we’re doing it again!!!

Let’s go out and connect, you can do this in your garden when you are tidying up any pots ready for spring, or a park, or in a busier place, the choice is yours. 

Make a point of saying hello to people who pass your way, or smiling at them.  If neighbours stop to say hello and have a chat, get to know them, you may have more in common with them than you thought. You may resolve a dispute that has gone on too long.

Make lunchtimes at work a social time, turn off your phone, and talk to your colleagues. Smile down the phone at people, feel the warmth of a genuine friendly hello.

Peaks – Support is there if you want it

Troughs – Admitting you need it

Libra

Neophyte – Study

Energy Centre – Universal Mind

Theme – Growth, study, understanding

Librans lots of blessings to you.  The Neophyte confirms this hot on the tail of the book of shadows, more learning, more skills more pondering.  Aradia takes us back to relearn karmic lessons, and the book of shadows says here’s few ideas on how to do it, chart it and mark its progress.

Also hot on the tails of our neighbour Virgo, who had this the week before, and if you’re a cusp like me you’ll be thinking this ain’t no coincidence.  So also like them by the autumn, we will no longer students but beginners of a new craft or knowledge.  That doesn’t mean we can’t continue to learn but our first sense of passing and achieving will manifest around our birthdays.

I am feeling very buoyed by this, and ready to go, if not a little uncertain how to do it, but almost ready to take that leap of faith.  Is this our Fool card in tarot, or The Wheel of Fortune?  Mmmm.  If you identify with this, the key to is, be clear, and learn what we need.  And don’t give up.

At the end of last year, did you find yourself with deeper connections in your life? Were you learning new things, and at meaningful levels?   Clarity, or illumination gives you the information or little hints to steer you along your path. 

Whatever you learn along the way, good or bad, it will shape you, make you stronger, and help you achieve your goal.  They are the lessons you need to learn, not what you choose. But the outcome will see you freer and happier and feeling accomplished.

Activity

Come on everybody!

I had a very sobering lesson this week, and someone I respect very much gave me the right advice at the right moment.  And I think what I did to resolve that issue, would help you, if you bear with me.

The words used were, ‘Be your own Personal Assistant’.  Imagine there’s another version of you, with a to do list, a sharp eye, and attention to detail. Let that side of you take a 2nd and 3rd look at the issues you are dealing with and how you are dealing with them.  If you are avoiding a difficult issue because it upsets you or other factors are putting you off, your other self [P.A] will guide you, for the Neophyte student, needs someone to steer them.  And we all need a mentor or teacher sometimes too.

Peaks – Openness shows that all experience is food for the soul.

Troughs – Challenge ignorance. Life is held in patterns of our own making.

Scorpio

Cloak – Concealment

Energy vibration – Astral

Theme – Front, mask

Scorpios, hello I love your cards for this year so far, all that love, healing and nurturing you are getting, I hope!

Is the combination of the first two cards helping you with your progress this year? Give it time, you have plenty of it. Now, another gentle and somewhat mysterious card is drawn to you.   The Cloak, a more tangible and earthbound card I feel, it is an item in wiccan that is practical having mental and magical properties.  This is yours to keep now, store it safely, wear it well, and use it wisely. How? My film geek is now seeing Dr Strange and his flying cloak.

My partner and I are going to a festival in the summer, and we always do fancy dress, and we are buying cloaks this year.  Both of us have very different ideas of our cloaks.  His is black, and very shrouding, mine is hopefully purple with a red velvet lining, and massive hood.  The characters we are playing are very different.

Either way we will be disguised, until we reveal our masks, and costumes.  When it’s cold we’ll be warm late into the night.  All this in the name of festival fun, and getting more for us out of the experience.

How does that relate to you? Very significantly!  The fact that we do this harks back to a time when our predecessors wore them as an everyday item of clothing, or by monks and other religious orders. A cloak can present quite a looming image, but the cloak being offered to you now, comes with love and goodwill, nothing but goodness with shine out from any gaps in the fabric. And know you are protected.

Think very carefully why you may need a cloak or disguise. Are your plans really ready to be shown? Or do you have to keep your secrets, however exciting hidden a little longer? You may need to slow down to wait for others.

Watch out for idea thieves. Don’t gossip, or use your influence or conversation to swing favour your way, for it could backfire. Hiding in the dark whispering could hurt others, and potentially yourself.

Activity

If you have a special blanket, or throw you like to huddle yourself in, snuggle up in it somewhere warm, safe and quiet. Or put on your favourite jumper or cardigan or wrap.

Sit and think about your purpose, note how you warm and protected from the elements, your body is hidden from the world, whilst you envisage you your dreams and plans.

This helps you relax, and just feel in the moment safe and potent with ideas yet to be revealed.

Peaks – Timing and wisdom

Troughs – Patience, patience.

Sagittarius

The Bell – Awakening

Energy Vibration – Throat Chakra Theme – Awakening, calling

Sagittarius your last week for being at the back, oh hello to you!

The Lady, a beautiful card for this year sets you free from what no longer works in your world anymore, she has now on her am an owl to teach and guide you along the way.

Have you connected to Lady Isis? Or tried out a sun healing energy meditation or healing session?  I swear by them, the only ones I really have no trouble losing myself in.  Don’t worry if you didn’t, what works for you, works for you!  Failing that some winter sun if you can grab it will work as well.

Whilst you’re on this year’s path with The Lady, and her owl, another gift presents itself to you. The Bell. As if in a dream like gentle state it’s time for you to wake up.  Have you noticed some of the cards this week are a little less gentle and getting warmed up for action?

What does the bell offer you?

Psst wakey wakey… your life now needs your full attention and maybe some of the people in your life need your attention. The bell ringing or tolling, could be calling time on certain aspects of your life, and introducing new ones in their place.

Celebration, ceremony, congratulation for well done with your progress and some movement from the past. 

Jobs, business opportunities and career changes.  A wedding bell rings somewhere heralding romance or deepening romance with commitment.

Stronger in yourself, in all your senses, energised and readier than ever to take action at the ring of the bell.  Get, set, go!

The ringing of a bell sounds the need to listen your guides and consider your connections, who is in your life? Who should be that aren’t and who is that shouldn’t be?  Sent a text asking how someone is, you could make their day.  Don’t waste time trying to connect with those who are not as genuinely invested in the relationship as you are.

This is a card of communication.

Activity

Look at the friends list on your social media, or in your phone contacts list.

Who makes the effort with you, that you enjoy, but you aren’t making the same effort with them?  Show them you care too.

Who has been trying to get your attention, but you don’t want to reciprocate? It’s time to cut those ties if you wish.

Who doesn’t make an effort with you, and the balance needs to be restored by more assertive communication on your part?  Communicate your feelings on this, saying calmly that you feel you deserve better. Find your own words to politely state your case.

Address those issues, and restore balance.

Peaks – Happiness in connections.

Troughs – You may feel like it’s an early alarm and have to push through some it.

Aries – Five of Swords

Gorgeous Aries,

You’ve got the Five of Swords this week so you’re likely to be channelling those amazing skills you have to be clear thinking and wise. You could feel like you’re doing the best you can in a particular situation and perhaps you’re feeling a little frustrated that you can’t do as much as you’d like to do in some way.

The Five of Swords is associated with having to take a step back from something, even though you may want to do more and perhaps help someone out, the circumstances don’t seem to permit you to do so. This isn’t a time to be like a bull in a china shop and force a situation, it’s much more favourable to wait it out, back off and adopt patience.

Take this time to assess your motives and approach, this is a great time to do some introspection and to remind yourself that you’re doing the best you can. Things will improve beautiful Aries, any setbacks and worries you may be experiencing will pass, your outlook will be clearer and calmer if you can take some time out to nurture yourself.

It may feel tiring to think of all the things that need to happen before your goal materialises, but the Nine of Wands is telling you that you can do it! You’ll be given a boost from the cosmos to help you and you’re likely to experience how much those inner reserves help you to reach your goal.

Gemini – Six of Cups

Gorgeous Gemini,

The Six of Cups is the card most associated with nostalgia and recalling pleasant memories of the past. You could be feeling like you can’t keep up with the fast-paced way of living this week, you seem to be preferring to take it slow, go within and adopt nature pace.

There could be some urges to withdraw from busy daily activities so that you be more introspective and self-loving, follow those callings darling Gemini, those whispers are the voices of your soul and heart asking you to pause and reflect. The world will adjust, you’ll benefit from sharing your fond memories with loved ones, hearing old tales you’ve never heard about or forgotten about will likely bring you joy and comfort.

Weekly Astrology Forecast for All Signs January 20th 2019

Weekly Astrology Forecast for All Signs January 20th 2019

Aries

Are you emotionally free?

Opportunity is clearly lit

Love lies in the dark

This week’s Supermoon in your house of romance, creativity and children, soul mates and boom boom shakalaka, just happens to come wrapped in a total eclipse. By now you know that eclipses conceal and total eclipses – well, then we are totally in the dark. At least for a while.

The Moon rules our emotional lives and in here our emotional bond to what we make. The love we make, the children or creative projects that we create and how we express our passion, desires and lust for life.

Do we feel free to do the latter? You’ve soul liberating aspects happening elsewhere in the sky this week but this eclipsed Supermoon heightens emotions especially when it comes to how you express your love and what your love has created.

Be sure you don’t have the big picture right at this second. Also be wary of diving into a new relationship far too quickly. You’ll want to love and be loved under this Moon but what you find under it may not be what you are seeking.

Be especially cautious if you are currently on the rebound unless all you want is a fling. Love in the light of day may look very different.

Significant opportunities come knocking and it’s up to you whether you open the door to claim them. When it comes to travel, learning, expansion and luck the way ahead is a vortex of fabulous. Goddess Venus and expansive Jupiter meet this week in Jupiter’s ruling 9th for the first time in 12 years. These two are saying it’s all about following and expressing rather than suppressing that passion that fires up your soul.

Step into a more meaningful opportunity now to expand your worldview. Ruler Mars in your 1st also angling towards Jupiter says you’re travelling on some level. You have the confidence to claim what’s waiting for you this week or take a massive step towards the grand prize. When it comes to what’s on offer – the way ahead is Quartz crystal clear.

In a nutshell: Fabulous freedom inducing aspects propel you out of the door towards success, Aries. While one path may be clear, however, another needs light shed on it before you go further.

Taurus

See you on the dark side of the Moon

Travel to emotional security

Passion deepens, karmic rewards come calling

By now the theme of change which has been rippling through your life must be getting old and tired. This week it all relates to what you share and especially your shared space. Your home and your family are in moon ray focus

This week brings us a totally eclipsed Supermoon in the Moon’s ruling house in your chart. Security issues – from where you live to financial and emotional security will feature. You need to feel safe, nurtured and supported more than usual.

You’ll be looking around you at who or what gives you this. Changes (there’s that word again!) could occur now around your living arrangements or what you share with others. Without alarming you too much about the ‘c’ word, changes that are on their way are now to your benefit.

But with regards to the eclipse, you don’t yet have the full picture on what needs to be done or even what is going on with others. You do need to be focused on the long term and your long term emotional needs vs. what is happening in the moment however, If you are not getting what you need in terms of that support, ask yourself what you need to change or even how long you can sustain without the change?

Now, as to the benefits, this can bring you, ruler Gorgeous Goddess Venus meets Jupiter in your primal 8th for the first time in 12 years this week. Joint resources, assets, your salary (Venus rules your bank account), taxes, payouts and legacies may feature as may a key relationship going deeper and giving you the depth of connection you seek. If you need to make changes, to break free and also if you are karmically due rewards, this meeting combined with this eclipse could just see them appear or you have the confidence to do whatever needs to be done thanks to Mars in your 12th.

Move with the times, and with the changes, towards emotional security this week, Taurus.

In a nutshell: Change comes in a positive form. Passions deepen and karmic rewards could transform your emotional landscape. Into something which really sustains you, Taurus.

Gemini

Say it anyway

Big up that love potential

Tango with all kinds of two-somes

The challenge this week may be in putting those feelings into words, Gemini. Communication is a two-way street as well you know. Emotions could get in the way of your words, or misunderstandings could occur. The other side of the total eclipse of the Supermoon in your 3rd is that something is being held back that needs to be said.

If you feel someone is not being totally upfront with you now, you need to pay close attention to this as chances are you are right. Remember, only 7% of all communication is verbal so look to the non-verbal emotional message. The truth is in the sub-text whether spoken or otherwise now. Remember eclipses conceal and then later reveal. Please, if signing any important contracts or documents, pay attention to the small print and if necessary, have a professional pair of eyes go over it.

The energy of this stunning, cathartic eclipse all started in Feb 2017, what was going on then? Have you changed the way you communicate? Did you receive news that changed the course of your soul journey? Whatever it was it all reaches a climax this week. Prick up your ears and tune in to what the Cosmos is trying to tell you. You may find that you finally see the truth of a situation as the eclipse rips away all illusions.

Venus is in its ruling 7th in your chart and meets Jupiter in here for a date for the first time in 12 years. This is all about partnerships and long term love now. Remember, it’s all love no matter what form the partnership takes. This can be a romantic connection, a marriage or live-in love, a working or business partnership, a close friend, an activity or collaborative partner or even in some cases, a horse or non-human partner.

New connections sparkle with long-term potential especially with Venus now out of retroshadow phase. Benefits come to you via existing partners or an opportunity to step into a new working one emerges. Be on the look out for anyone larger than life who wants you to tango.

It’s all about duos, double acts and toothsome two-somes this week, and how an opposite number can provide you entrée into a wider, wilder bigger love adventure.

In a nutshell: It’s all about partnership and two being more than one, Gemini. Don’t let your feelings get in the way of what you want to say. Say it anyway – and with love this week.

Cancer

What do you believe you’re worth?

Doors to career advancement open wide

Hold your head high and believe

Your ruler is not only supersized this week but also totally eclipsed. This week’s full Supermoon is all about what you feel you’re worth and who or what may undermine that – perhaps without you realising it. Your relationship to your cash – again, this is linked to your own belief in your worth or what you time and talents command, could be pushing some emotional buttons. KNOW you are worth it, you are fabulous and you deserve the security within yourself that you have been grafting towards since Feb 2017.

Be aware that eclipses conceal before a big reveal. Be cautious then when it comes to entering into any financial dealings under this Moon and if you lend someone money, be prepared for it not to come back as fast as they promise – if at all. So, be sure you can write the sum off in the long term.

Your own feelings about your money, value and assets – material and intangible, could be the mystery you need to uncover however. The cosmic force of this eclipse is the climax to a journey you’ve had with security since Feb 2017. You are determined to achieve security and should recieve the final piece of the cosmic puzzle this week.

There’s an interconnectedness happening across your entire money/work/career sector. Work opportunities are there or just enhanced wellbeing provided you do not hit cruise control or tip into overindulgence or daydreaming. There’s a porthole to a more abundant dimension, so make sure you squeeze through!

Venus and Jupiter unite for a collaboration in your 6th for the first time in 12 years. This is a major opportunity to win that job or promotion or make a lasting impression in your business. You’re also given the strength to transform negative patterns and hurtle towards a deeper sense of wellness.

Mars in your career centered 10th actually ensures you won’t be tempted to just chill out and binge-watch ‘This is Us’ as it ensures you have the drive and the confidence to bust through that door Jupiter is holding open. And do this knowing your worth. Get to work this week, Cancer.

In a nutshell: Time to evaluate your worth – especially when it comes to how you’re paid for the work you do. Professional doors swing wide. Hold your head high and walk through.

Leo

What does destiny deliver?

Play with the forces of love and luck

Make it happen

Hello, karma! What form is it taking? What I can tell you is that it will slowly emerge from the shadow of the totally eclipsed full Supermoon in your 1st this week. Be aware that you are going to feel more intensely about everything than you normally would at this time. So I am going to advise you not to make any major decisions about anything at this time – unless you are in a position where you have to. There’s a karmic link to all this so watch who or what begins to emerge over the next few weeks. What comes and goes in your life is governed by larger forces at work.

You are at the climax, crescendo, summit of a process that started in Feb 2017. Your identity, your life path and your soul journey is about to take a turn into a new dimension. The eclipse is a massive game changer for you. You have magic in your fingertips but first a secret is revealed that makes the next leg of your journey very clear. It’s an intense week full of emotion and fascinating twists and turns.

In other news,love and pleasure take to the skies thanks to a once-in-12-year meeting between Venus and Jupiter in your fabulous 5th. Big loves, big passions, diving into pleasure, luck, success and travel all beckon as does the opportunity to shine, see and be seen.

Mars in your 9th boosts your show-stopping confidence and sends you headlong off in hot pursuit of adventure and new horizons. Those intense feelings I described earlier mean you won’t settle for anything that does not fire up your soul and set your heart beating faster. You won’t be content to wait for love, success or anything else you want to find you – you will make it happen. And as you do, the universe moves with you.

Destiny is at work but always remember you are a magician. Be as creative as you can be this week when it comes to going after whatever it is you want. You’ve star quality now.

In a nutshell: You’re walking a path towards a new destiny this week, Leo. Lucky for you it’s also the one that leads you towards romance, luck and success. Make it happen now!

Virgo

Intuition whispers – heed it

Benefits flow from home, career, property and family

Build for your future

You of all signs need to remain attuned to the hidden aspects of this week’s totally eclipsed Supermoon, Virgo. It takes place in your mysterious 12th of secrets, psychic ability, intuition and hidden enemies and synchronicity.

Eclipses conceal and later reveal the truth as the shadow of the eclipse passes. Sometimes this can take months. Partial eclipses mean we only have part of the puzzle. Total eclipses mean we are utterly in the dark. Do not take anyone or anything on face value now. Keep the line open to your intuition and above all, heed what it is telling you. The realm of dreams may provide you with some clues so keep your dream journal handy but don’t jump to any conclusions about what dreams reveal.

Not so much watch and wait more watch AND TRUST YOUR INTUITION Moon.

Be wary of anyone you feel is not 100% on your side and avoid if possible anyone with alcohol or substance abuse issues or narcissists if you can as they can drag you into their drama. Nothing and no one is as it seems under this Supermoon. However, don’t forget you’ve been here before and this is the climax of a personal process you have been going through since Feb 2017. If you are true to yourself a magical reward is on the way.

A journey to the deeper side of life is possible, and gains and advantages are yours this week when it comes to property, where you live, family, who you live with and your career. Big, beautiful benefits could flow via those you live with, property dealings, moving experiences or via career progression thanks to the once-in-a-12-year meeting between Venus and Jupiter in your 4th. All this points to your bedrock – what sustains you over the long term. What shelters you, nurtures you and allows you to build a base from which to create a firm foundation.

Some could benefit from the generosity of a female family member, older woman or female mentor. Leases, contracts, mortgage agreements can be signed now. If you are seeking to move, expect to get more for your money than you thought – and this applies to either buying or renting. Long distance relocations can be undertaken and bring you more benefits than you could possibly imagine. Put down some roots from which to grow your freedom this week.

In a nutshell: Big, bold, security enhancing moves can be made this week, Virgo. Build a base from which to aim high. But when it comes to intuition – listen to it and wait for more to emerge.

Libra

Where do you fit in the bigger picture?

News puts you back in the spotlight

You go from not to hot again

What’s going on with friends, groups, organisations or even one friend in particular may keep you guessing this week, Libra. Be aware you don’t yet have the big picture as a totally eclipsed Supermoon throws a shadow on this sector of your chart. You may be questioning one particular friendship or even your place within an entire group. All this leads to a fabulous revealtion that ends up leading you where you need to go.

Remember, you are at the peak of a process around this area that began in Feb 2017. You have changed your attitude around groups, beliefs, and your concept of social media. What you ‘put out there’ matters now and you are about to take your ideas and go viral, particularly if you have the right collaborators.

Defer any decisions if possible as perception and reality may be entirely different things. The 11th rules all kinds of social connections and this includes social media. Again, perception and reality may be skewed right now as may your interpretation of someone’s post – or for that matter theirs of yours. If you have been toying with the idea of social media cold turkey for a while– there may not be a better time to do this as you gain a deeper perspective.

Your sense of belonging could be challenged and your goals may be up for review. You have a deep emotional need to ‘belong’ to something – the people, the group of like-minded souls to whom you resonate. Or is this your Muriel’s Wedding moment when you realise you don’t belong and you stop trying to fit in with those you don’t even like?

Big tangible things are happening in another part of the sky which make you realise just what you have to offer. New work opportunities, business success, unicorn unique plated ideas, travel and expansion beckon thanks to ruler Venus meeting Jupiter in your 3rd for the first time in 12 years.

Whatever you’re selling now – people want it. This may seem strange after the challenges of the past seven years when many of you have seen yourself go from hot to not either personally or in terms of your work. Watch for a complete reversal of fortune, opportunities to flirt and your words, ideas and even that CV to open doors for you in ways you could not have imagined 12 months ago. Time to stage that comeback, Libra.

In a nutshell: Examine goals and contacts and see if they remain true to who you are, Libra. As to who that is now – you’re about to stage an amazing come-back this week!

Scorpio

Value your professional image

Keep plans to yourself

Brazen new beginnings with love and money are possible

Guard your reputation and your public image this week, Scorpio. Don’t get into arguments with people in positions of authority. Keep your broader ambitions under wraps and your own counsel when it comes to your career and above all, pay close attention to what you feel may be going on at work or even at home, rather than what is happening in plain sight. You are about to shift your perception of work and have a massive revelation.

You have been going through a huge career shift since Feb 2017 and the Leo Super Blood Wolf Moon, in all her glory, is bringing things to a climax.

Hidden agendas, manoeuvres in the dark, takeover and power moves may feature, but if you use your instincts, and those tantalising charm skills of yours, you could end up winning. Avoid gossip at all costs and do nothing to fuel it. Be seen as professional and focussed on the job at hand.

A certain detachment may be necessary this week thanks to the total eclipse of the Supermoon in your 10th of career and status. This may be a time to keep your plans and certainly your thoughts, to yourself. If you have the ‘feeling’ that someone at the top – an influencer or power magnet, is holding something back, pay attention but again, keep your thoughts to yourself.

If you are given confidential information, lock this in the vault. Eclipses cover up and total eclipses are black-out curtains pulled across a particular area of our lives. Guessing and gossip will serve no purpose now. If you are thinking of applying for a promotion or a new position, keep this to yourself. Be stealthy Scorpio and see all while creeping towards your goal.

Huge abundance could come calling so professionalism and discretion bring their own rewards this week. Venus in its ruling 2nd in your chart has a deal-making meeting with Jupiter in here on the 22nd. This is the first time Venus has encountered Jupiter in here for 12 years. Your star is about to shine, beam your unique view out. Oh and you might dive into a relationship (either in business or in love or even both!) that is quite literally an ‘asset’ to you.

Ancient ruler Mars in your 6th of work fires you up to go for it as it too, unlocks Jupiter’s massive money making potential. Handling larger sums of money than you have previously or just having more at your disposal gives you a new sense of freedom and confidence this week. But keep your plans for getting your hands on it all to yourself until you’re ready, Scorpio.

In a nutshell: When it comes to your career this week, discretion and being job-focussed pays off. An asset-building opportunity could arrive in the form of a new job, source of income or love affair!

Sagittarius

Ride that dragon

Work the law of attraction

Be prepared for breath-taking things

Is it the journey or the destination that isn’t clear to you this week, Sag? You are the sign of the explorer and usually the full Moon in your 9th of all-things Sag-ruled, is one you set sail under. However, this one comes super-sized and obscured by an eclipse. This is a total eclipse so instead of a guiding light, you are very much in the dark, but not for long.

Here be dragons as the old saying goes. Not that the thought of them would normally stop you venturing forth as in your philosophy, dragons are there to be ridden. However, on the day, take extra caution while travelling – especially the long distance kind that you love, and if you are uncertain of your next step, please wait for the map to be revealed.

This may be a time of staying in place instead of venturing forth and reassessing where you fit in to this wild, brave new world. You need more information at this point especially if you are involved in any of the following: legal matters, mass media, travel, academia, religion or philosophy, sports, doing business overseas or people from overseas in general, buying or selling of livestock especially horses.

Make no mistake you are on the brink of something breathtaking however. The above is merely a caution to have a clear map or destination in mind. This week sees Venus planet of love, pleasure and attraction meet your ruler Jupiter in your 1st for the first time in 12 years.

If you were over 18 back then, think to what opportunities presented themselves. You could be in for similar opportunities and themes. Work that Law of Attraction now as its yours to wield in any way you want. A big new love or something which broadens your horizons could appear – anything from that hot new lover to a chance to show the world just what you have to offer thanks to Mars in your 5th.

You come across as passionate, confident and oh so sexy that people just can’t help but offer you that job, opportunity or their heart. You have room on that dragon to take someone with you now. Get ready to ride.

In a nutshell: This week could see you momentarily unsure of your direction. Don’t worry – this won’t last. A big bold brave new path or opportunity is about to open up. Get ready to ride, sag!

Capricorn

How deep do those feelings go?

Come to the Cross of Changes

Past rewards and people feature

You may not see important changes coming until they occur or else be unaware of the need to make them, this week Capricorn. But make no mistake, a transformational and seismic shift is occurring. This may be happening in the last place you would think. It’s either right under your nose or within. And chances are even if you are now looking, you still may not see it thanks to the totally eclipsed Supermoon in your 8th on the 21st.

Emotions run deep under this full Moon but with the eclipse, you may not be aware until the later of the true extent of your feelings or even your fears around something. Chances are however, you have subconsciously thought about this for a very long time. There may be changes around your salary, shared resources or a relationship and again, you may not see this coming. If they do occur what I can tell you is this is by no means over – yet. The bigger picture has yet to emerge.

This week’s biggest gift for you is that of a supersized meeting between Venus and Jupiter in your intuitive 12th. Gifts from the past, people from your past, past life credits, divine inspiration, self-healing, freedom and higher love are all yourself. Watch who or what comes winging in from long ago and far far away with fresh relevance and newly minted opportunity attached. This can be as simple as a thought which frees you from a long term restriction to someone who simply pays it forward karmically.

If something is holding you back, it may now magically be removed from your path. Revelations clear the way for freedom now. Get ready for spiritual truth and lasting insight.

In a nutshell: You may not be able to see the changes ahead – or the reason behind ones which occur. But don’t doubt your freedom is at the heart of this, Capricorn. The past comes calling.

Aquarius

Go for goal

You have the team to make the dream

Focus on friends rather than one-to-one love this week

When a full Moon appears in our 7th this is usually the time to look at what others are reflecting back at us. However, this week’s Supermoon in his house comes eclipsed. Totally. You’re now in the dark about a key relationship, how someone sees you or where this is going. Remember, this house rules duos of all descriptions – your marriage partner or long term, live-in love, your business or activity partner, your closest friends and collaborators, a beneficial working relationship and open adversaries. There’s a feeling of not seeing the person opposite clearly or even concealment around them.

Now, it’s important to remember that you are at the climax of a process that began in Feb 2017. What has changed in your relationship experience since then? What do you think will be revealed?

Your gut will be telling you who to watch. Try to avoid confrontations or decisions around a key relationship if possible now. You don’t have all the facts.

Despite Venus and Jupiter meeting in your 11th this week – something which has not occurred in 12 years, this is not the time to embark on a new love affair. Again, you may not have the full story when it comes to someone’s intentions or their history. However you could also meet someone out and about who you have a soul connection with.

As you of all signs should know being the 11th house, your 11th is more about wider, connected relationships between you, friends, groups, organisations and the collective. Both these planets want to deliver good things and in here – good times. Benefits flow from the people you know now. A friend or even a new group of people could introduce you to wider possibilities and broaden your horizons.

Friends may share what they have with you – anything from their contacts and influence to their possessions and assets. Someone who helps you in a big way towards a goal could appear now. To get the best from this meeting this week, concentrate on your social life and leave the one-to-one stuff on the backburner for now until love shows you just what you need to know.

In a nutshell: Benefits flow from people you now. Both on a personal and professional level. Share your goals and wider vision with others. You have the team behind your dream now.

Pisces

Wait for a new light on wellbeing

Act with humour and diplomacy

You are your own best asset

Your energy may fluctuate, and you may feel unsettled or even ‘in the dark’ about what is happening with your work or routine now. Eclipses cover up something and this week’s eclipsed Supermoon in your 6th is totally eclipsed. Don’t fret as a revelation is coming, it is the climax of a process you have been going through since February 2017. You are about to finally breakthrough patterns and habits and step into your magnificence.

You may know inside something needs to change around your wellbeing, routine or even your working life, but can’t quite see what or how all these things are connected. No, your intuition for which you are famed is not failing you. What this says is that more information needs to emerge and it is your intuition which may end up guiding you towards it. There is big treasure to be unearthed.

As far as your work or rather your long term career goes, this is your week of big moves, significant opportunities and possibly even larger rewards. You are in a position to impress now in a way you have not seen for 12 years. Venus and Jupiter are meeting in your 10th of recognition, rewards and status, offering you the chance to climb higher than you have done for a very long time.

Magical fishy, use your empathy and intuitive skills and you can do this in a way that wins you backing and support from influencers. You come across as someone people want to work with or do business with. You are in a position to showcase your experience and skills and are seen as an asset to any company or business situation. You accomplish your desires with grace, diplomacy and a touch of humour thrown in.

Yes, you’re all enlightened business but the fact you don’t take yourself too seriously just adds to your desirability. Others could attract a partner who is charismatic, successful and extremely outgoing. You’re off in the pursuit of success this week as you feel your stock soar. Bank on it.

In a nutshell: That mind/body/spirit connection may be hard to define this week. However, when it comes to your career – do it, and do it with style, Pisces. Success is within your grasp.

Your Monthly Astronumberscope January February Sun in Aquarius

Your Monthly Astronumberscope January February Sun in Aquarius

Welcome to your monthly astronumberscope! Astronumerology combines the wisdom of astrology with the hidden power of your birthday number bringing you a new type of forecast on a different date to your usual astrology forecast. Each month you’ll be able to access hidden insights into what the universe has in store for you based on your birthday and the sign the Sun is in at the time. So, your astronumerology forecast will be available when the Sun changes signs – usually around the 21st of each month.

It’s As Simple as 1-2-3

How do you work out your personal astronumberscope for the coming month? It’s as easy as 1-2-3!

First – take your birthday date. Let’s say you were born on the 4th. Now, take the astro number for the sign the Sun is currently in. Between January 20 and February 18 the Sun is in the sign of Aquarius. The astronumber for Aquarius is 4. It’s 2019. So, to work out your forecast for the period of Jan 20 – Feb 18 you add the following:

Your birthday: 4, the astro number for the sign the Sun is in: 4, the current year: 2019:

4 + 4 + 2 + 0 + 1 + 9 = 20. Now reduce 20 down to a single digit – 2. Read the astronumerology forecast for Number 2.

Here’s another example. Say you were born on the 10th. Your birthday: 10, plus the astronumber for the sign the Sun is in: 4, plus the current year: 2019. 1 +0 + 4 + 2 + 0 + 1 + 9 = 17 = 8. You would read the numberscope for the number 8.

What’s Special in the Sky This Month

Astronumerology is more than just numbers! It is influenced by the planets and their positions which colour the individual forecasts. Aside from the Sun in Aquarius, this month sees a final meeting between Mars and Uranus in Mars’s ruling sign of Aries. This is the last time this will happen in our lifetimes. Uranus is of course, the ruler of Aquarius. It’s all about individual action this cycle – and how you shine within the collective, groups, friends and associations.  Astronumerology shows you the energy you have available to you within a given month – and where to direct it for success. Get ready for excitement, thrills and a touch of the unexpected this month!

Forecast for Number 1 Month

Be the mother of reinvention no matter what gender you identify with. It’s time to shine if you are in a Number 1 cycle this month. And in a way that’s unique to you. Do not imitate others as the heavens are calling for your unique signature on whatever it is you want to do. If you are lucky enough to be stepping into a 1 month, it is always about a new beginning on some level. It begins with you not being your old self. Look within and envision that future you now. How do you feel, think and look? What needs to change to bring this about? This can be anything from changing your thoughts to changing your appearance. As you make the necessary adjustments you will watch in amazement as the world adjusts its view of you. Look at every single option which presents itself now and don’t be afraid to experiment and play with them before committing to one – or more than one. The universe could just present you with a smorgasbord of choices now. Whatever you choose however must resonate with this new you that’s emerging. Dare to make that different choice to what you would have done in the past. Those new beginnings that are knock, knock knocking on heaven’s door for you could include a new job, new romance or the start of an important work or creative project. How you appear in the eyes of others is going to change this month. Look and feel your best. Sex and romance? So glad you asked – it’s hot, hot, hot, baby! New love affairs could be off to a scorching start while existing ones recapture that heat.  Whatever or whoever you aspire to be this month, once you become that person watch how the world literally sits up – and takes notice in all the right ways.

Forecast for Number 2 Month

Life offers you are fresh start this month. But also asks you if you are truly serious about having it? Sometimes we can talk about what we want, we imagine it, visualise about it, dream it. But then when it turns up – do we sabotage it or doubt it? This month for you is all about soul commitment. Being certain of what you want and then being unafraid to take it, have it, live it. Let go of feelings of undeservedness. Time to connect in a new way to your emotional world. You feel the way you do for a reason. Why is this? Your dreams are designed to fulfil a specific need deep within you.  So ask what that need is. Then – go directly to the need. New people are queueing in the wings wanting to enter your life and they could be instrumental in not only helping you on the road to attaining what you want, but also in your life path flowing in a radical new direction. There’s a need for you to create some kind of structure or support network now. The word ‘foundation’ is going to feature for you this month. What supports and sustains you. Shakespeare summed this up with his Sonnet 116 – the ‘ever fixed mark’ that ‘looks on tempests and is never shaken’. What’s solid can’t be shaken. It may rattle a bit that’s all. So, if shudders happen but nothing falls down, you know you have what you need to see you through the long term – be this a relationship, a job or a lifestyle. If it all comes tumbling down however – it was never solid to begin with. And this is your chance to begin anew. Anything that falls shakes you free to create something lasting and better. As life flows in a new direction – go down it. That path is leading directly to what you need this month.

Forecast for Number 3 Month

Step into a month where you can afford to be a little bit bolder, a little more daring and a lot more expansive – especially when it comes to your resources. Now, by that I don’t mean rush out and spend what you don’t have. You can however afford to take a chance on yourself and what you have to offer. Your talents, skills, knowledge, abilities are like money in the bank. And you can literally translate them into cash in a new way. Strut your stuff and showcase yourself. Reach for something that you have thought beyond your grasp up until now. That job, that opportunity, that big client, that project, that destination or even – dare I suggest it – that person. This month wants to deliver surprises and its biggest surprise just could be the one you give yourself. Your mindset should be locked into ‘Yes, I CAN!’.  Travel plans can be initiated and undertaken. Follow your intuition this coming month as it will guide you towards opportunity. When it comes to those resources you have more at your disposal than you may think. The term ‘asset management’ springs to mind here. Write down not only your current income but what you have at your disposal in terms of talents, skills, experience, space and contacts. The people who support you. The things you own and possess. Chances are once you have finished listing these you will have created your very own Rich List which shows you that you have more than you possibly thought. Once you see what you have, now make a list of how it all can be used in new ways. Above all, tell others about the magical resource that is you. Create your own luck and the flow to take you to it.

Forecast for Number 4 Month

How are your trust issues this month? By that I mean do you trust the universe to lead you where you need to go? Sticking your heels in when change comes knocking not only prevents your soul evolution but deprives you of opportunities. If you’ve got a plan are you willing to concede the universe may have a better one mapped out for you? Let go of attachment to get the most out of this cycle and be willing to change your plans – or even your direction, at a moment’s notice. There’s a touch of the mystically unexpected around all of this. Yes, events may catch you unawares. You may even not like the look of them initially. But don’t judge the Book of Fate by its cover. This cycle has a direction and a purpose all its own. Don’t get too attached to plans. Live in the moment NOW but know that as you do, you are actually creating your future. Along with the 9 cycle, this is one of those months where people may show you their true colours.  People you thought you knew well will surprise you one way or the other – as will people you don’t. Once you see the shades they fall into – act accordingly. At times during the next few weeks you may just feel like crawling under the duvet and shutting out the world. But try to resist doing this if you can. New friends and connections can be made now and again, there is a touch of fate around this. Don’t deprive yourself – or them of the future you can share together. And you will never discover what that is if you stay home with that boxset! What happens this month is a soul release into new potential you didn’t know was out there. The truth? That’s out there too.

Forecast for Number 5 Month

You may find yourself at a crossroads with the choice of directions you can take ahead of you this month. Options beckon and if you have felt stuck lately, this is the month when life can move forward for you once more. Be organised and pay close attention to what you say and what is said back to you in turn. You are connected to your smarts in a new way this month. Savvy you is able to communicate clearly and get your ideas across. Messages, emails,  texts, social media, meetings, interviews, travel that is business related and a boom in business itself could bring you extra cash and also more time doing whatever it is you do. Guard against burn-out, support your body and above all, focus on the job at hand and don’t allow your attention to drift. You may find yourself at a crossroads where you have more than one direction you can choose to head in. It may be time to choose a path you have not been down before. For some this could be launching that project or idea or even taking a new job in a totally different sector to what you have worked in before. Siblings will feature more than usual if you have them, as may your old neighbourhood or friends from school. Questions around your education may come up. Do you feel you know enough or would you like to return to upskill or study? Is that the path that is calling you? Your attitude to your work and what you know, your routine and even your relationship to your body is changing. Make those necessary alterations and go with the flow.

Forecast for Number 6 Month

No matter what the planets are up to in the heavens in your own personal chart, when you have the gift of a 6 month, love is in the air! This is one of the best cycles for romance, love, creativity, attraction and pleasure. If you are single, then ensure you look and feel your best and also that you put yourself ‘out there’ so love can find you. It wants to on some level. Above all this month, be serious about what you expect from love and also from your work, projects and life in general. Knowing exactly what we want is the first step to getting it. Choices and decisions define not only this month, but your life for a long time to come. Make them with confidence especially if you can clearly see how they will enhance your future. Are people taking you seriously? Or are you being dismissed, treated as if your opinion or needs don’t matter or even worse, like a child? This month hands you the opportunity to do something about this and it begins with you acting in your own best interests. If you are single and seeking love, or if you are settled and facing issues in your relationship, take some time to look at your past love history. What’s the common denominator in all this? That’s right – it’s you. Not the other person(s). Until we learn from our past we are destined to repeat it. And that’s not what this month is all about. It’s about fresh starts and new beginnings. So ask yourself, do you want more of the same or something new? Your self-worth and self-esteem have a major role to play here. This is also a month where extra money, gifts or other resources can come your way. Ready to attract? Get relating to yourself and then everyone else around you a whole lot better.

Forecast for Number 7 Month

Other worlds beckon you this cycle if you are in a 7 month. The mysteries of the psychic realms, intuition, insight, the multiverse, the Tarot, numerology, astrology, psychology, healing, mediumship, fantasy, channelled creativity and inspiration are all yours to play with and explore. This is a month where I like to tell people to keep their feet on the ground and their head in the stars. To make the most of it, you do need to remain grounded and practical. Do not get lost as you need to remain focussed.  Others may come to you for help or you may need to go to people to ask for it yourself. If it’s the former – step back and ask yourself if this is cycle for this person? Are they constantly getting themselves into situations that are self-created due to faulty decision making? If so, look at how you can point them in the direction of practical healing and help rather than playing the rescuer. If you need help – how are you at asking for it? And have you been in this situation before? Your compassion and empathy peak this month – know the difference between these and sympathy. Above all, this is a month where you need to follow your intuition and pay attention to your gut instincts. That first response or thought you have will always turn out to be the correct one so don’t doubt it. This month is all about karma. Karma is the past catching up with us in the present. Now, sometimes this stems directly from past actions or connections in this lifetime. Other times it is karma from a past lifetime. People with whom you have karmic debts are going to appear – or should I say reappear. They will either help you or hold you back. Look at all your relationships and see who is playing which role and know you have played this out with them before. This is a spiritual month rather than a material one. Your ideas of life, the universe and everything in it will expand and even make sense in a new way. The stars are calling but stay in the real world.

Forecast for Number 8 Month

Romance speed bump? Sudden stop? Delays? Mind changes? Cancellations? Obstacles in your path? Whatever you do, don’t get frustrated and don’t push. Know there is a beautiful reason behind it if this happens. Everything happens for a reason and if something comes to a grinding halt this month it is because you need to stop, look, listen and above all, draw on all you know and have learned and see how it applies here. If something is not working out, it may well be it is because something even better is edging ever closer. You just may not be aware of it until the pause button is hit. This is your month for major decisions and also to focus on your long term career path. Time is something you will be very much aware of now. Sometimes it may go by in a flash and at other times appear to drag. When it comes to those decisions – this is a time when they need to be made from a pragmatic perspective – not an emotional one.  Look at your professional and public image. You are going to be noticed in some way or find yourself dealing with people in positions of influence and authority this month. Bosses and employers – current and prospective, corporations, the professions we associate with the ‘establishment’ – law enforcement, banking, civil servants, politicians, journalists, architects, the medical profession, could feature.  It will be important to create a good impression and to get whomever you are dealing with ‘on side’. Success or benefits could come via long established companies, businesses or even prominent individuals. Where do you fit into this picture? Above all, be seen as someone to be taken seriously. You could be keeping seriously good company this cycle.

Forecast for Number 9 Month

No more procrastination. The 9 month is the peak month of your cycle. It tells you Do It NOW. Say what needs to be said. Take action. Put the finishing touches to projects or else consign them to the bin for good. Do not leave any loose ends. Time to be fearless when it comes to doing whatever needs to be done. Unfortunately this does include anything that has been lived out, used up or no longer holds meaning. All your relationships will be tested this month – for lasting strength and resonance. Some will survive and others won’t. Don’t get too emotional even if at times you may feel angry as whatever ends is what you have outgrown and what happens just shows you this. You are in a position to accomplish anything you set your mind to now if you focus your energy totally  on it. If you have recently begun a new relationship, you should see it either intensify to the point of nuclear meltdown or you realise that isn’t going to happen – ever, and you let it go. If you are settled, you can reawaken lost passion or else tackle any issues between you. Singles could experience the L word at first sight. And it’s mutual. That may be the other ‘L’ word however – the one that has U as the second letter and not O. Big money, shared resources, values, payouts, loans, mortgages and negotiations are a reflection of how powerful – and how sexy you’re feeling this month. Remember – even interaction is a negotiation. Get yours happening, baby.

This week is a time for action, decisiveness, you are continuing to create a new and better version of yourself, remember how great you are and that you can do it!

Libra – Three of Swords

Gorgeous Libra,

You’ve got the Three of Swords this week, so you may be feeling like an emotionally upsetting experience is finally coming to an end. We all experience some upset from time to time and it’s how we handle it that affects us and ultimately determines what the next stage will be.

The Three of Swords can sometimes signify conflict, upset and arguments. Usually though when this card appears the stressful circumstance has already happened, and the healing can now begin. Metaphorically this card can be likened to an abscess bursting, the poison has come out and now the body can begin to heal.

This week it’s likely that great healing is taking place, this could manifest itself as healing and convalescence in your mind and emotions. You could be feeling like finally you can move on from something and that repair is underway. Take time to acknowledge your feelings this week, nurture your precious mind, soul and body. Things are improving and it’s time to believe in the power of healing.

Scorpio – Six of Wands

Beautiful Scorpio,

You’ve got the Six of Wands this week and that’s known as the victory card!! You are likely to be feeling triumphant about something. You have worked incredibly to reach this point, despite any challenges you may have been facing, it’s likely that you’ll overcome them and come out on top form this week.

It’s likely that you’re sensing that things are changing and improving this week, it’s probable that you’ll be looking at your life in a new and positive way. You could find that there is reason to have a celebration this week, it’s likely that the results of all your hard work and efforts are being recognised and appreciated, woo hooo!

The Six of Wands is asking you to celebrate your successes and victories, you have definitely earned it! This card is a positive omen and a promise of fulfilment and joy! Life is likely to feel like it’s getting better, and you could be being acknowledged at work for all of your efforts and feeling like you are valued. Be sure to keep doing what you are doing, during this week it’s likely that you’ll be feeling confident about your achievements.

Sagittarius – Justice

Gorgeous Sagittarius,

You’ve got Justice this week so there could be a decision to be made about something. There’s likely to be balance and fairness reached if you are in any form of negotiation. You could find that you’re focusing on making sure that your work/life balance is good. The Justice card helps us to see that too much focus on one or the other could cause some unbalance, you may find that you’ve got one area working really well and that you’re working hard to make the other area more effective.

Justice is assisting you to see that balance is necessary for you to thrive and prosper. This week you are being given a chance to get to know yourself more deeply, it’s likely that you’ll be going through a period of weighing things up or deciding something. You have an air and aura of balance, wisdom and fairness surrounding you, with Justice you’ll be able to use your rational faculties to judge situations fairly.

You could find that an agreement can be reached through negotiation and by sticking to fair solutions. It’s likely that you’ll be striving for balance and fairness in all of your dealings with others. Objectivity, fairness and truth are your superpowers this week, Justice is helping you to gain a clearer understanding of yourself, others and the situations that arise this week.

Capricorn – Seven of Swords

Gorgeous Capricorn,

You’ve got the Seven of Swords this week which means you’re likely to be choosing your words carefully and considering how best to express yourself. There could be a circumstance where you feel like you have to ‘bite your tongue’ and opt for a more diplomatic stance.

The Seven of Swords represents a situation where you feel like saying one thing, but you choose to be like a counsellor and be tactful. Sometimes life requires us to use some subterfuge in order to achieve a desired outcome, saying something we end up regretting it, and not wanting to hurt or offend sometimes makes us clothes our words so that they are received better.

This week you can expect opportunities to use your intellect to deal with things, your mental faculties will be on stellar form, have every faith in yourself that you’ll be find exactly the right words to say. You may feel that you’re being false, if usually you’re the type of person that prefers to be forthright, straightforward and honest. The Seven of Swords is asking you to be logical, use deliberate charm, play your cards close to your chest and perhaps be economical with the truth if it’s required.

Aquarius – Six of Cups

Beautiful Aquarius,

You’ve got the Six of Cups this week, so you may be feeling reflective and nostalgic. Looking back for treasures of our past is sometimes helpful when we are on the cusp of deciding what’s next. Reflecting on your past could reveal some hidden gems that you’d forgotten and show you some positive ways to move forward this week.

Remember, whilst it’s good to look for treasures of the past, recall old happy memories and think about how good things used to be, it’s beneficial to be mindful that your best years haven’t happened yet! If you’re feeling that your best years are in the past, then this could leave you feel stuck, stagnant and upset. Remember that you’re moving towards the future, take the love, lessons and the gifts from the past.

The Six of Cups is asking you to look forward with wisdom this week, everything you’ve experienced has brought you to this point of self-appreciation. This week is an optimal time to take stock of all that’s happened and understand how you truly feel, you’re on the cusp of deciding what you truly want. By reflecting on the good times of the past you’re more likely to create more of those happy moments in the future.

Pisces – The Hanged Man

Gorgeous Pisces,

You’ve got The Hanged Man this week so it’s likely that you’ll be considering making a voluntary sacrifice of some sort in order to achieve something greater. Every great story has a hero in it that sacrifices something to achieve something better, there could be a realisation this week that you are your own hero and that you have the power to change and alter your story.

You could find that there is a choice to be made this week, sometimes The Hanged Man signifies reaching a crossroads. You may find that you feel ready to give up and let go of what is no longer of serving you and feel ready to choose what is significant and meaningful to you. Giving something up voluntarily for the future promise of attaining something of greater value is expected this week.

You are likely to experience an increase in faith in life, and your trust in the unseen and spiritual is likely to increase too. This could manifest as giving up and surrendering a destructive behaviour, pattern, mindset or person. The Hanged Man is here to show you that this is a turning point in your life, your focus is likely to be reoriented towards your inner world, psychological development could become more important to you

WICCAN ORACLE READING

By Violet

WEEK BEGINNING  14TH JANUARY 2019

“Believe in yourself. You are braver than you think, more talented than you know, and capable of more than you imagine”. ― Roy T. Bennett

Hello and warm greetings to you all, well now we are in the swing of the new you, and your new year. You already have your key card for the year.  My apologies in the delay of these, I had urgent family commitments over the holiday. But I’m back and full of get up and go.

How did you find the S.M.A.R.T.E.R goal, or dream planning for the year? Don’t feel intimidated by them, they are meant to be fun and can be changed if things need a little tweak here and there.  I have to admit I’ve not done mine yet, as there’s a delay on my special book I’ve ordered to write it in.  But my head is busy with this, and that.

This week your 2nd card of 2019, see’s your first supporting card come out to guide you in achieving your desired outcome or challenge for the year.  At this stage having set your goals, it may be worth keeping a journal or indeed, ‘Book of shadows’, to log your cards and comment on your progress as you work your way through the year.

We have a year for this year’s goals, and guess what, if we have unfinished business to take into next year, so be it.  We have in our lives as long as we need.  We only use time frames to gauge how far we’ve come, and to monitor how well we’re doing and yes some are necessary, but not all.   Some goals are easy to achieve and done by just a few actions.  Others require help from others, or information from 3rd parties, and may take longer.

I’m throwing in a bonus activity this week.  Your mission should you choose to accept it, is to go out and get yourself that journal.  And really connect with your year, and your plan. Make a note of your weekly card readings, and any personal readings you have done. Record the activities you do; how did it feel doing them? Remember you can personalise them to how you wish to do them, there’s nothing set in stone.  For all students of wicca are told to, ‘Find their own way’, albeit knowing a few rules.  The key one being, ‘Do as ye will, but harm ye none’.  As long as your rituals are carried out with pure intention and an honest heart, all is well.

Enough, let’s talk cards now!

Blessed be one and all.

CAPRICORN

Recap

Your card for the year: –

SPIDER – ‘I WILL’ “I will succeed”, “I will manifest”, “I will create my desires”.

Energy Focus – Solar plexus chakra

Theme – Repetitions, self-determination, self-expression

Serpent – Power

Energy – Creativity

Keywords – Sexuality, wise one

Capricorn brrrrrr so cold outside as I write this, I hope you find yourself tucked up somewhere cosy as you read it!  Winter is here.  The spider, are you feeling the power of this determined creature.  Whether you identified as a money spider crossing over the palms of hands about to receive money, or a trap door spider, spying opportunities as they go past, and snapping them up, embrace your Spidey powers this year and make your dreams happen.

This week’s card is the Serpent, it represents creativity, and the strong life force that comes from your base chakra. Capricorn this means that Leo when it comes to resolving this year’s problems arising from the challenge or goal set by the spider, you will more than one interesting solution.  Which is great isn’t it?

You’ll find yourself thinking with va va voom, creatively and differently to how you may have done so before.  Ta dah moments will hit you as you brush your teeth, or relax in the bath.

If you feel all is lost, and know not what to do, a resurgence of fresh energy will come to you, which will help you push, or slide past those obstacles. You can rise up ready to deal with anything that comes your way.  An innate wisdom or gut instinct will now steer you to find the right words, and know just what action to take.

Your love life is likely to become a more passionate, sexual intimacy is starred.  If you are single expect attention and flirtations, mother nature has sprayed you with some alluring aroma.  If your social life is lacking at this time, and your light has no-where to shine, it may be time to start net-working for it could lead to romance.

If you are attached, those connections could become more intimate, and if your partner picks up on your signals, enjoy.  In essence you will be in demand. You will find yourself generally more in touch with those you hold dear, and find yourself hugging and wanting to be near them.

Feeling artistic?  Make the most of new year sales and grab yourself a sketch pad, and some of those lovely new brush pens, or an adult doodle art book. Your creative side or flair will really show now, you may start a new hobby, or revisit an old one. Whatever you put your talents too, it will flow easily. Any excess energy, or anxiety if you don’t know what to do with it, can be calmed by losing yourself in something creative.

The serpent brings you a sense of vitality, apply it to all areas of your life, for the serpent is also very knowing, very sharp minded, and sharp witted.

Courage! For when you are ringing the changes for the serpent guides the way to a new way of doing things.

Combining the energies of the spider and the snake makes so far for the year a great team.  Both actually creatures that scare a lot of people and with good reason sometimes, but they are your allies.  The spider gives you the will and determination, and a creative edge to weave your web in any direction you now wish, and the snake adds a creative bonus and powerful edge too.  What team work.

Peaks – Higher energy can be used with wisdom.

Troughs – There may be some caution in expressing yourself in any creative way.

AQUARIUS

Recap

Card for the year

SHEKINAH QUEEN OF THE STARS – Transcendence

Energy vibration – Earthly angelic realm

Theme –Movement, faith, karmic journeys, unconditional love

Besom/Broomstick – Cleansing

Energy point – Sacral chakra

Theme – Cleansing, protection, preparation

Aquarius, how are you lovelies?  Your year starts of powerfully doesn’t it, transcendence or rising to join the higher realm as an earthbound being. All part of your spiritual journey.  Movement is all around you upwards, reflecting backwards, getting on the karma train.  Who is going to help the Queen of the stars, why a broomstick. 

Often mistaken in folklore as the mode of transport most preferred by witches, the broom is actually a cleansing too.  I am drawn to a vision here of curling, the sport where someone brushes the ice to drive a large weight across the ice.  If Shekinah is taking you on in your spiritual journey the broom is brushing the rough bits of ice or obstacles out of your way.

Powered with the energy of the broomstick, the ability to carry out a new year clean is yours.  Fancy cleaning out your house? And your metaphorical house too?  It’s decluttering time.  Being a Wiccan I can identify with this as a ritual.  A witch is supposed to be tidy.  They will use their Besom or broom to clear psychic energy out of a space.  If you are to carry on with your mission you will need the clarity space clearing creates.  As witches we are keeping an audit of our herbs and plants used in our potions ensuring they are current and fit for purpose.  Are the tools you need to achieve your goal current or do they need reviewing. One tool that you will become aware of is your psychic powers, or gut instincts getting more attuned and stronger.

Like those drawing the snake card you will find your sexual energies are awakened, a fledgling relationship could become intimate.  Already in a long-term relationship?  Do you may seek a deeper connection or more intense pleasure, it’s time to share your feelings with your loved one and celebrate how special and magical your relationship is. You may consider, ‘Jumping’ the broomstick, i.e. confirming your union with your beloved with a handfasting (which unites in love for a year and a day), then jumping the broomstick as a couple.  Or maybe more traditional marriage is on your mind.

Activity – Mmmmmmmms what can you do this week?  I feel that if you already did your SMARTER goal setting list, you’ve already identified what you want to do, and you’ve sort of worked out how you’re going to do it.  So, to suggest for a second you do another list type ritual would be boring and obvious.

I feel it would be time now you’ve used your brain for a bit, you need a rest.  In all seriousness, as part of your planning, set aside some you time.  Every day for a few minutes, and at the end of the week for at least half an hour. Once you’ve taken the day off, perhaps during that time whilst your dinner is cooking, just sit down with a drink.  And breathe, to the extent you are relaxed with your breathing, and it is slow and gentle.  Close your eyes for a moment, and as you breathe in let in fresh new energy, when you breathe out, release that which is no longer needed. This replenishing energy breathing will help you reconnect with yourself and your energy points every day, allowing you to relax before bedtime, hopefully sleep well, and be ready for a new day.  N.B put a timer on the oven or set an alarm for a sense of relaxation could mean a burnt dinner. 

Peaks – Prepare for fun, frolics and high energy.

Troughs – Clear blocked or stale energy at all levels.

PISCES

 

Recap

Card for the year

Candle – Light, Fire, South Wind

Energy – Throat Chakra

Keywords – Illuminations, sacrifice, inner radiance

THE QUEEN OF ELPHAME

A MAGICAL MYSTERY TOUR

Energy Vibration ~ The Underworld

Theme ~ Magic and Beauty

Pisces how lovely to see you. Blessings for the new year!

What a fantastic combination you have in these two cards, your year’s key card The Candle, of illumination, fire energy, speech, and lighting up your soul! Along with your 2nd card our lovely Queen of Elphame.  Her magic is gentle, healing and a graceful one.  She has the lightest of touches.  Given that candle magic is also of flame, and in my case smoke, (working with extinguished candle flame to release intention), it makes sense that you need such a gentle lady to help you with phase one of your year.   

Almost hypnotic, and enigmatic I often compare her to Titania.  Her home is in Thier-na-Oge, ‘the land of eternal youth’, deep in a secret forest should you wish to find her, look out a hawthorn tree or other fairy hiding places, (hedgerows, and stones).

Here you will have help in answering to your questions, and at the end and beginning of a year, there are so many aren’t there?  But along with the power and fire of the candle, its gentle flame combined the queen’s light touch you will be able to deal with your situations with grace and dignity. What was one stuck or blocked will feel easier to understand, have more flow and movement, and could be resolved.

New sensations of confidence, poise and dignified calm are around you.  Gone are those heavy boots!  Walking barefoot through the sand, feeling the water run through your toes, is so much easier for you now.

Relaxation, deeper thought processes or mediation may have been difficult lately, worry not for if you let Titania help you, it will flow more easily now your spirit could feel freer. 

Breathing will come more easily to you.

Get back to nature and engage with the beauty of it in your surroundings and others creatures. In doing so you will achieve a sense of balance with inner and outer beauty. This could, if you give into relaxation and fresh air, be a joyous and lovely time.

On a cautionary note. And the only one.  Be wary of thinking more superficially, and may need to rethink your inner feelings on what you consider to be attractive, in your world, others and yourself.   

Release any egotistical or negative thoughts about yourself and others, and acknowledge that you are beautiful inside and out.

Ground yourself, for such a time could see you as careless and may appear aloof and critical.

Peaks – Magic is around you

Troughs – Believe in you! Find your inner beauty!

Activity

I don’t really want anyone overloading their brain with thinking this week, suggesting you do a plan for the year is work enough.  Why not go for a walk and get some fresh air?  And you can multi-task the two activities, walk, relax and make room for creative planning.

ENJOY!

ARIES

Recap

Pentacle – Evocation

Energy – The elements

Keywords – Evocation, manifestation, protection

Cauldron – The womb

Energy vibration – Sacral chakra

Theme – The void, potential, wise intention

Oh, Aries warm greetings to you also!  Your year is already on its way, like a runaway train loaded with potential and ideas.  The Pentacle is a great card to get as your base card for the year, offering you all the elemental energies to help you on the way.  So, you have the power in you to call that train back, and tell it to wait on the tracks.  Now what is the first card of the year to help the Pentacle?  The Cauldron.  Perfect for someone with so many plans.

What is a cauldron? A pot, a bowl, or in my case a specially designated saucepan. Which helps create invocations, spells, and intentions, when filled with a combination of herbs, plants, and spices. It is in essence a place for putting your ideas, and intentions into.  It can be a real cauldron, or an imaginative one.  I feel lucky in having both. 

On another level the cauldron is a metaphor for the womb of life. You are now the master or mistress of your life, you always were, but for some reason this year even more so.  This card coming so soon into your reading, in combination with the Pentacle tells me that you are protected, whilst you create this sacred place in your life to manifest your dreams and plans.

The cauldron is the place where all your ingredients, boil, and bubble and cook up.  This could be a fast or slow process.  Again, it’s arrival at the start of the year indicates things put in the pot now will simmer for the rest of the year.  You may have to be patient with yourself and others.

You are now the magician and very much in charge of the events occurring or not occurring in it. 

Aries if this card has appeared for you, it’s time to consider what your recipe is going to be to put in the pot?  You have so much potential, did you know that, do you feel it?  What can you bring to the pot?  What do you want to achieve? For the time is now.

Your energy is thus that it can have an impact on the directions you choose to travel and where you end up in your life. 

Your cautionary note, for there is almost always a little nagging voice isn’t there.  Use such strength and energic power with compassion.  Others may not have caught up with you yet.

Be realistic so that you don’t end up climbing a mountain in trying to achieve your dream.  Break a long-term, greater goal into more achievable bites and you will feel a greater sense of achievement.  I.E don’t try to run a marathon, when you maybe should sign up for a Race for Life first.

Be kind in your actions, remember the phrase, “Do what you want, but don’t hurt anyone else”.

Visualise and create a happy place to live in, enjoy the space and time of waiting before your achievements are to be enjoyed, this is not a time to rush, but enjoy being part of the process, nurture this space and look after yourself, for you are creating your own happy future.

Activity

I love this activity, it involves food, and it’s healthy. 

Make a warming winter soup, perfect for this time of year, and whilst you prepare, cook and stirring in a clockwise direction, take time, think about your lovely bright future, and give thanks to nature.  Add to your ingredients your love and good wishes for those who will eat the soup. 

Peaks – Seeds of creation are being sown for the future.

Troughs – You get back what you put in. You may have to challenge fears that you don’t want to admit to in achieving this potential.

TAURUS

Recap

Card of the year

The Mirror – Perception

Energy vibration – Third eye chakra

Theme – Perception, reflection, clarity

Athame COMMANDER OF POWER

Energy – Solar plexus chakra

Keywords – Empowerment, directions, boundaries

Taurus, hello, and welcome to you! hello neighbour!  I love how these cards are rolling out to support their year foundation cards. Yours is to reflect, visualise, and let the world see you as you want to be seen, by drawing the Athame, any decisions you make or focus you can be powered up by the commander of power.  You have elements of calm waters, emotions and thought processes, driven by this little knife that will steer you, much like a sword or wand to achieving your goals.

People may look at you with their heads turned to one side, a little confused.  ‘What is different about you?’ They will say.  You won’t actually know, but you will know why they are asking for you are feeling different.  When you announce your plans to folks, you may surprise some in the choice of direction you take. 

Projects started last year, could if you use this new energy, be completed, so please don’t give up. 

One key project this year see’s you fulfilling a lifelong ambition, you won’t quite believe it.  Have faith!  You have Athame.  I liken this to the Ace of Swords in Tarot. 

Are you ready? Aim. Fire.

Blade-tip first into the outside world you go, strong, courageous and assured. Traditionally it is a double-edged white metal blade with a black handle, it represents masculine principle/energies in sacred ceremonies. You can though imagine your own version of this. By picturing your own items or tools, you identify with them more easily.  I use my own to cast circles, and much like my wands to direct the magical energies during various Wiccan rituals. But before you emerge from your home, you must prepare, and know where it is you are going with all this new energy.

Release that which disempowers you, for the knife can cut away what you no longer need.  You will be all the stronger for having done so.

Nurture yourself, meditate, heal, dream and build your strength up ready for your mission. and check your personal boundaries are in place and appropriate to requirements.   

Create a world for you, that wish to be a part of, for you are protected. Whilst others who are in your world may not fit entirely with your new version of it, they will if they come with unconditional love fit in still, maybe in a different way, for they too are undergoing their own special transitions.

Referring back to my analogy with Tarot’s Ace of swords, beware your words, and sharp of your tongue, for having such focus, and determination to achieve such potential could make your suffering of fools, less than usual.  So, try to be kind, if others don’t appear to be on the same page, or understand your new drive or courage.

Peaks – Powerful energies protect and guide you.

Troughs – Boundary Issues are highlighted.

Energy – Crown Chakra

Activity

If you can afford to, and I know it’s the start of the new year, so it’s a particularly big if; go to a wiccan shop or crystal shop, and seek yourself out an athame.  There are some beautiful ones, in stores or on line. 

Or you can make one, find the thin end of a branch of wood, and carve out a short double-sided pointed knife shape, with a handle. 

Take care with this as I’m aware of injuries.  An athame is blunt sided, but be careful in your use of it.

Sit somewhere quietly, light a candle, for this I would suggest an indigo or purple one, for 3rd eye focus.  And simply nestle the athame in your hands, as you candle gaze.

Ask that you are given unconditional loving guidance in the planning and focus of your intentions for now and the coming year.

Place the athame near the candle, say a few words if you wish about your wishes and goals. HINT, frame these words positively, and use the words, ‘I need’, not, ‘I want’.  For they are two very different things.

When you feel rested and calmer, say, ‘Mote it be’, (make is so) and give thanks.  Then blow out the candle, saying thank you again.

GEMINI

Recap

Card of the year

Cone of power – Energy

Chakral Energy – Solar plexus chakra

Theme – Energy, focus, concentration

Sword – Hopes and dreams

Chakra – Throat

Theme – Hopes dreams, honesty 

Ah the twin’s greetings to you, welcome to your reading.  Another very powerful reading for you here, your year base card the Cone of power, is enhancing your energy from your diaphragm area and around your body, like a fire has been lit to keep you running through to the end of the year.  Add to that the Sword.  Not unlike Taurus getting Athame, the sword I feel is the Ace of Swords crossing over into a wiccan reading. New beginnings, new dreams, and being able to cut through situations to discover the truth.

The sword has been connected to what was considered to be masculine energy.  Because of its direct force and connection to fighting in historical battles. Like the wand it is a direct, focussed and mighty force. 

Gemini as an air sign it’s no mistake that you’ve drawn an air sign card. As a fellow air sign, I really connect with this card too. Imagine you’ve been given the armour also to accompany (support in your endeavours), and the mighty sword to cut through your surroundings.  You are the knight, or brave warrior making their way to the castle, cutting through the forest of thorns, or the sharp-witted Queen of swords, who can silence enemies, end arguments and slice a lie with her tongue. This is you right now. Slick, quick witted, and wasting no time.

However.

Not everyone will appreciate your honesty, and laser beam ability to spot and deal with lesser mortals.  So be gentle, and kind with your words, maybe throw in a little patience too.

The presence of the sword in your reading indicates strongly that you will receive messages now, that may not be sugar coated, but necessary for you to hear in order to proceed.

Activity

The first bit requires some truth and honesty with yourself, much in keeping with doing your SMARTER targets, except you are not doing any lists here, and it may actually help do your target list, maybe do this one first?

Don’t rush it, and don’t be afraid.

Please make this as fun and relaxed as you want to.

Props needed are somewhere to get comfy.  A drink.  And your mind.

Ask yourself this simple question.

Am I happy with my life?

What do I want to change about it?

How do I feel?

The sword added to your toolkit will help you slice through any blockages in my mind with courage, focus and clarity.

After this you will be able to tackle your emotional blocks and set about your plan of action.

CANCER

Recap

Card of the year

Green man – Growth

Energy – Root chakra

Keywords – Growth, fertility, prosperity, confidence.

Cone of Power – Energy

Chakral Energy – Solar plexus chakra

Theme – Energy, focus, concentration

Nice to see you again Cancerians, the new year is here upon us and you have the help of the Green Man gives you roots, and the chance to literally grow yourself, your dreams, your life.  By drawing the Cone of power, I consider this to be the fertilizer to feed your tree and nourish you through your journey. Your first message to support your foundation card is the cone of power.

The Cone of Power gives the ability to connect to your conscious energy and applying it to your projects.  As Gemini your neighbour who had this as their card for the year was told, imagine another room in your house, and it’s full of energy cones, all on a shelf, beautiful spiralling cones of energy.  Each one has a different job to do.  All of them pertaining to your plans for the year.

If you lose your way, just go into your Chamber of Cones, ponder a moment, and ask for their guidance and energy.  You will know which one you need at any time of asking. 

May I suggest the first cone you use is the cone of replenishment and healing, to set you up for what is to come.  The second wisdom and intuition perhaps? To plan your year wisely.

Feeling energized and motivated you could use such energy for spiritual connections, have you considered joining a healing group/circle.

‘I can’, will be said along with, ‘I will’ and ‘Why not!!

Remember to rest and nurture yourself, during this creative and busy time, for you could soon tire.  You could find yourself noticed in your world, whether you want to be or not, by bosses, or team members who will be asking you to share some of that energy with them. You have the choice for the most part as to where you will contribute with this spark of energy.  And … You can say no if you don’t want to do something.

Powerful people, lightworkers can have a tendency towards arrogance, egotism and irritability, so remain grounded and compassionate.

If you need to ask for help if necessary, you have friends and people who are there to be asked. 

The warning here is do not become self-absorbed during this time of the new year and your goals. 

Don’t be a hermit. 

People love you. New people will like you too.

Activity

Imagine your cone chamber, where is it in your home? How is it decorated? How is it furnished. Look upon as it your healing room, visit it as often as you need to find the answers you need on this journey.

Peaks – Change, goals, energy

Troughs – Be strong and include those who will help to be.

LEO

Recap

Card of the year

Serpent – Power

Energy – Ray of creation

Keywords – Sexuality, wisdom

Cord – Initiation

Energy Point – Soul

Theme – Initiation, willpower

Leo dear lion, so nice to see you, how are you dealing with your new familiar the serpent.  Are you feeling energised, powerful with ideas pinging all over the place? If the answer is not quite just yet, fear not for you have a new card.

The cord!  Welcome to the family we say, its first outing.  What does it mean? I shall tell you.  During this time of rebirth and new year focussing, you are being asked to look at what is holding you to the past, and what could stop you from being able to move forward with those plans?  A cord is tying that binds or connects us to situations, people and memories. Some cords automatically sever when those situations naturally end, others require some determination or decision on our part to cut those cords.  This is part of your progress, and phase two of your year’s development. 

As the cauldron acts the womb for a creation, and ideas, the cord is the infants, or your potential, that links to a place of planning and creation. In spell work and ritual work witches used cord of different colours for prayer weaving, or purpose specific energy work.   They also used it to define boundaries, something you are being told to do here.

You are being launched on a path to into the unknown, and magical opportunities in your new life, it is time, there is no putting it off.  Which is difficult if you are afraid, or unsure.  What do you do if this the case?  Hone the power of the serpent, for there is courage and more ways to deal with your reluctance and fears.  Work with both the serpent and the cord to release from the old and tether to the new

Your SMARTER goal planning will help you beautifully to approach this and face any bumps in the road head on.  The question is are you ready!?!

Don’t panic there is nothing nasty on its way, it’s just a time pausing, thinking, and there is light at the end of the tunnel.  This is actually a good card to get, telling you that you can do this.  You are in control, and are already set to start this very positive journey.

Activity

This is a fun activity to do.  The friendship bracelets that children make are usually full of colour, handmade and so easy to do.  If there are children in your life, get them to help you.  Pick cord, ribbon, or tapestry thread of any colours that take your fancy. And braid away to create a cord.  You can wear it, use it to hold your glasses around your neck, or make it as a book mark for your journal.  As you weave your braid, speak your positive affirmations into it, and as you tie the knot off at the end, say, ‘Make is so, thank you!’

If you struggle with this… there are shops that sell handmade cord or bracelets you can buy for not very much money.

Peaks – Tethering, bind yourself to your future.

Troughs – Letting go of old ties.

VIRGO

Recap

Card of the year

Athame – COMMANDER OF POWER

Energy – Solar plexus chakra

Keywords – Empowerment, directions, boundaries

Neophyte – Study

Energy Centre – Universal Mind

Theme – Growth, study, understanding

Mighty Virgo stepping out into the world, Athame first, full of focus! Welcome.  Still wondering where you goal lies? Ah Ha, you too have synchronised perfectly with a new card, call the Neophyte, your psychic intuition will be alert, bright and telling you what feels right and where to take that feeling.  It will help to know just where to go.

How?  There is the element of being a student about you, someone will be coaching or mentoring you.  You may be learning new things, going on courses, I’m sure I mentioned this year would be the year of learning a new skill or developing an existing one to greater heights. By the autumn, you will no longer be the student.

This is exciting! At the end of last year, you were finding deeper connections in your life, learning new things, and really understanding them at meaningful levels.   Clarity, or illumination gives you the information or little hints to steer you along your path. 

Don’t fight this, don’t say you can’t you do it.  You can. You are being helped and supported.  Whatever you learn along the way, good or bad, it will shape you, make you stronger, and help you achieve your goal.  They are the lessons you need to learn, not what you choose. But the outcome will see you freer and happier and feeling accomplished.

The card could also be called the wheel, for it rolls, but it won’t let you roll backwards, its course is set to ahead only.

Activity

You are also combining your shared activity of thinking SMARTER.  When you are doing your mood board, or notebook planning, for now you are allowed to dwell in the present and revisit the past.

Have a little think about what you want to do, and then ask bravely are you doing it? What is stopping you? And What are you going to do to change it.

I am cusp Virgo/Libran in some horoscopes, so I feel your pain.  Sacrificing what no longer serves me will be hard for this sentimental gal, but I know things have to change.  And maybe then I can do my targets too.

Peaks – Openness shows that all experience is food for the soul.

Troughs – Challenge ignorance. Life is held in patterns of our own making.

LIBRA

Recap

Card of the year

ARADIA – Heritage

Energy Crown chakra

Keywords – Birth right, heritage, celestial guidance

Book of shadows – Experience

Energy Vibration – Crown Chakra

Theme – Knowledge, learning, acknowledgement

Librans Hi de hi, and how are you all?  The card of our year, Aradia, lovely, and powerful eh?  We going back to our roots and being guided by the stars! What a trip this year will be.  The more mystical cards are a little tougher to get to grips with for they require elements of our imagination and the ability to connect to your spiritual self.  Which is what she is all about.  Well let’s see who’s joining forces with her…

Ah! Lovely!

The Book of Shadows!  I have a stash of these already, full of my plans, rituals, and herbal studies.  I love them!   A witch’s bible, or personal organiser, every witch has one!

I would also suggest that you get a book or look up events that take place in the Wiccan year, that you can work into this book.  Noting key dates and events that could prove useful to you.  I admit, I get my, ‘Muggle’, diary, you know for booking the routine real-world stuff. It reads, ‘Dentist 10.00 am’.  My other planner, has sabbats, rituals, and shopping lists for herbs and crystals in it.  All the books we need weave into together to support our day to day.  I would also include in these books we look at and read, to learn things.  Don’t stick to the internet to do your research, sit and read a good book about moonology, or the wiccan year. This could also be called the book of your life, as a whole, what spells are inside you, that you can help manifest into your outer self?

There is one book we all need to look at.  It’s not written, it’s a living book.  It’s us.  It records all our life events from birth to this moment.  Please don’t look back and feel sad about anything that didn’t pan out as you’d wanted.  What was the lesson? What can you change? Like Virgo we have to look back long enough to decide how we’re going to go forwards.  Anyone else a cusp like me… they got a similar message didn’t they.

Activity

Guess what it is going to be?  I’m not changing it from the last time it was with us.

Yep, if you haven’t gone out and bought a blank journal, treat yourself, and a new pen reserved for writing in it.

Write in it, your thoughts, reflections and if you do practise spell work, I am sure you already have a book of shadows already.  I would also write in it your activities, and your thoughts and feelings on as you work your way through them. 

Enjoy.

Peaks – Knowledge, practise through being honest with yourself

Scorpio

Recap

Card of the year

Gaia – HEALING

Energy – Body and Soul

Keywords – Healing, lucid dreaming, nourishment

Silver bough -– Love and Happiness

Energy Vibration – Love – Heart Chakra

Theme -Universal love happiness and health

Scorpio warm January greetings, how are you? So, Gaia is your grounding card for the year! And what a card.  You will feel nourished, healed, and be visually guided as you carry out what is needed to be done throughout your year.    She is depicted as holding a Silver bough branch… which ironically your card this week.  I swear on my cats’ lives; these cards are picked at random.   But is seems Gaia is tooling herself and you up in order to carry out your plans. Truly synchronised.

A branch from an apple tree is also the symbol of the goddess of love – Branwen, Venus or When cut Aphrodite.  Cut an apple widthways notice how the seeds produce the shape of the pentacle, a spiritual power in the fruit.

Scorpio this card hails a happier time of love universal and yes romantically for you. Healing love will be sent to you, to help you recover from any setbacks you’ve experienced in recent months. You will find yourself gently easing away from the pain of such situations, and moving towards a much brighter future.  Your positive experiences at this will feel doubly blessed, enchanted and much more deeply felt.

Friendships are starred, old and new ones.  You will find yourself enjoying existing ones, or literally branching out and make new contacts.  Look out for a love connection, or romantic celebration around you. 

This is basically a lovely time to enjoy being around people who will enjoy being around you. 

If you have found yourself feeling isolated, or lonely, socially or romantically, this lovely card suggests its time you reconnected with people and shared some contentment.  But akin with the other readings, it’s no surprise to hear that you may have a sense of trepidation about this.  It means leaving your home, and getting connected to your world. 

Please have no fear, you are lovable, likeable and it’s time to let people see that.

The Silver bough says it’s time to Live Laugh Love!!!

Generally, we don’t go into health matters, so I will speak very broadly here.  It’s the new year, it would be a great time to eat some apples instead of left-over chocolates from Christmas.  Maybe even do a detox.  I’m sorry, but the Silver bough says its time.

Activity

On that note I’ll go and detox myself for I love Chocolate, your activity.  Is: –

To find a quiet, safe and cosy place, where you cannot be disturbed. 

Set aside up to an hour of your time.

Light a pink candle, and just breath gently, in with your nose and out through the mouth.

Find a nice gentle breathing rhythm, drawing the breath to your heart chakra.  Think or say gently aloud, ‘I am love I am lovable, I send out love, I receive love’.   

Send your love to those you care about, and use this time to send out forgiveness if you are ready to and ask for loving healing with those you have suffered difficulties with. 

When you feel at peace, relaxed and ready to, blow out the candle, give you thanks and you can return to your day.  Do so steadily, as such a mediation can be very relaxing. Take care with candles.

High note – The heart is open to love and harmony.

Low note. – Hold desires and wants in check.

Sagittarius

Recap

Card of the year

The lady – EMBODIEMENT

Energy – Originality

Keywords – Achievement, character, liberation

The Owl – Wisdom and Knowledge

Energy vibration – Soul

Theme – Focus, knowledge, truth

Sagittarius blessings to you!

The Lady is saying your theme for this year is embodiment and freedom.  Perfect for a go getting Sagittarian.  She is a very powerful Goddess to have on your side, she will take to great places for healing, without you having to risk getting burned by the sun’s energy.  She’s also very wise, and has many rituals and words of wisdom to offer you.  So, does the Owl.

For now, you have the owl, a wise creature with so much to teach you. For you are ready. It seems you’ve done your preparation and healing, and the next step is here. This card sees you working out situations that at first appear a little gloomy, and changes you may not want to face. But you are ready. You will not face this blindly, or with fear, but with the calm, qualities of the owl and its night vision. The result is that by the time morning comes, you will feel proud, and accomplished.

The Owl in this situation could also be called in my opinion the Phoenix, a beautiful mythical bird that hatches out of it egg in a pit of fire, serves it purpose for that life time, then dies spent.  It then comes back reborn in order to carry another life purpose.  For you now this is all about endings and new beginnings.  Like other cards that have arrived in this a new year reading, it seems very appropriate.

Take time to pause and listen at this time, for very important information is being delivered to you, and can your reactions.  Your eyes too will be brighter, fresher and sharper not unlike receiving the crystal ball, more able to cut through the darkness.

Old habits die, hard don’t they?  It is time to free yourself from anything that doesn’t make you feel good, don’t be afraid, your night vision or dreams will guide you through this.  Time is being called in some aspects of your world in order for you to evolve, stronger, brighter and freer.

Don’t be afraid to ask for time alone, space, and somewhere you can process what is going on.  You are not hiding and can join in any gentle activity you wish to, but make time for yourself, to just, ‘think’.  This is all part of the path you are on now Sagittarius, and development of the whole self-requires reflection, peace and quiet.

Activity

This activity requires imagination and relaxation, but is achievable within a couple of attempts.

Find a warm comfy place.  Ensure you are not disturbed.

Relax lie down, or sit. 

Think of yourself walking out of your lovely cave, where you have been resting, it is night time, you are safe, very safe. 

And you are coming home, the moon is bright and lights your way, as do glow bugs and silver wisps that entwine the trees and bushes marking your path.

You hear a hoot and above you are an owl, what does he or she look like, notice its feathers, ears, beak, and claws. 

Its beautiful amber eyes engage with yours, you sit down at the base of the tree, this lovely owl just a couple a branch higher than you, continues to gently gaze at you. 

It hoots again, telling you it’s time to go home. 

Back on your feet again, you rise, then in saying goodbye to the owl, feel in your pocket for a letter.

An old-fashioned letter with a wax seal, marked, ‘Private and confidential’.

You open it by the light of the moon.

There is a message on the old paper, written in ink.

What does it say?

Return to a more conscious state gently as you imagine yourself back in your home, carrying out the message instructions.  Clear and guided in your future plan.

Come to gently, before you get up for such a guided exercise is very relaxing.

Peaks – Wisdom, knowledge.

Troughs – Old habits die hard.
