Start Today with Guidance and a Glimpse of Possibilities

The card of Judgement is always of particular importance when it appears in a reading. In the traditional Ride-Waite depiction of the trump, we see an angel blowing a trumpet: in response, figures below rise up from their graves, arms outstretched to welcome their newly gifted life. The card carries a sense of both joy and purpose, and the strong intimation that the angel’s call cannot be denied.

The Moon has long been associated with intuition, feminine mystery, and the unknown, the half-seen. And so it is in the tarot card of the same name: here we see, in the Rider-Waite image, a dog and a wolf howling at the full moon. Before them, a crayfish emerges from the waters of a pool while behind them a path leads back over the mountains, to the world beyond. This symbolizes that however fearful are the manifestations of our inner consciousness, we can be safe in the knowledge that there is a return route open for us. On such a return route we may tread with the new knowledge we have gained beneath the light of The Moon.

We see in the traditional Rider Waite image of the Seven of Wands the figure of a man in the midst of battle; despite the clear effort and intense focus of his expression, he has literally risen above his attackers and is holding the high ground. We do not see his adversaries, simply the Wands with which they are fighting; we have the sense that, despite their greater number, he is in no danger of being overwhelmed.

Ace of Pentacles is linked to themes of prosperity and the manifestation of abundance. New opportunities are coming towards you that can lead you to a new phase of success in your life. This is time to recognize your value and how much you have to offer the world. Use your skills to invite more abundance and fulfillment into your life. 

The Nine of Cups depicts a man sitting solidly and comfortable in his seat, safe within the curve of a wall or building. A multitude of Cups are arrayed behind him, and the card exudes a sense of ease and contentment.

The Two Of Pentacles card serves to reflect the cycle of life. There are often both highs and lows in life and there are always constant energy fluctuations you need to mitigate and make sense of. Life is all about learning to find the balance between the two extremes.
