Weekly tarot forecast - Feb 1 to Feb 7

Card images from the Universal Waite tarot deck:
Four of Cups, Ten of Cups, The Devil

Here's your tarot forecast for the upcoming week. I am using the Universal Rider Waite tarot deck for this reading.

Card1: Four of Cups - This card represents the key atmosphere or influence in your life at this time. It suggests some sort of boredom with what you have, a complacent attitude towards the opportunities that are available and low inclination to act or discharge your duties. There may be a feeling of having all that you need which could cause you to feel uninspired or maybe a lack of direction or purpose has lessened your drive.

Card 2: Ten of Cups -  This card represents how you react to the energy of the previous card. Instead of feeling negatively about your situation or allowing yourself to wallow in your internal state of apathy you would try and consciously push yourself to spotting the rainbows in your life, counting your blessings and accepting emotional support from friends and family. This is the right attitude to fight off any low phase you may be going through, however, make sure your attitude is realistic and resist from over emphasizing the good things in life.

Card 3: The Devil - This card represents how things will progress in the coming days. Towards the end of the week you may feel a sense of entrapment or becoming limited in your thinking. You may be forcing yourself to feel or act in a certain way because you think that will help you cope better. You may find yourself becoming confined by your attitude or thinking and although everything may be comfortable outside and you may be materially well off, you may feel an inner disconnect or unease by not being able to express your true feelings.

There is a sense of doing something without really wanting to this week. Try and analyze your feelings rationally before pursuing a set course. Card 1 may suggest a need for seeking solitude, going within, introspecting and resolving inner conflicts. By involving yourself in other, more practical matters and using up your emotional energy to engage with people rather than with your own self you may end up denying your true needs. Take some time out to get in touch with your inner self and know what your priorities should be before carrying on with other things. Have a wonderful week!

Card images from Crystal Visions tarot:
King of Pentacles, Five of Cups, Ten of Swords

Here's your tarot forecast for the upcoming week. I am using the Crystal Visions tarot deck for this reading.

Card1 - King of Pentacles: This card represents the overall atmosphere or key energy surrounding you this week. The King of Pentacles suggests that now is the time to get in touch with your earthy side and take a long term view of where you want to be in your life.

 You would need the qualities of this King in your life right now in order to capitalise on the opportunities you get and deal with any challenges on the way. Be practical, down to earth and self reliant as you go about your work, let your ambition drive you towards your goal in a quiet, steady and dependable manner.

This is the time to take advantage of convention and the tried and tested approach instead of going for the new and unpredictable. Being realistic and focusing on the job at hand is imperative in order to avoid distractions.

Card2 - Five of Cups: This card represents your reaction and how you are most likely to feel or act this week. The five of cups shows a picture of despondency, loss and clinging to the past. You may be feeling a bit stuck or allowing yourself to keep playing events of the past in your mind. You could be focusing on what is already gone or something that didn't meet your expectations.

It is important to leave the past behind if you do not want to miss the opportunities that are available now. And there is a lot waiting to be grabbed if only you would look around. Try not to let emotions cloud your reason. Take inspiration from the King of Pentacles and ground yourself in his earthy practicality.

Card 3 - Ten of Wands: This card represents how things will move forward this week. You may find yourself taking on more work than you can enjoy and feeling overburdened by your responsibilities. Try to delegate or take help from people around you instead of doing it all by yourself.

The card suggests that you may be taking yourself too seriously and not taking care of your personal needs. As the week progresses and you feel the energy of this card, try and consciously make time for some fun and relaxation in your daily routine.

Work and emotions play a significant role this week. It is important to maintain balance and not let one dominate the other. Have realistic expectations of yourself and others and make sure you attend to your own health and well being to avoid getting stressed.
Have a wonderful week!

Card images from the Robinwood tarot deck:
Ace of Wands, The Tower, Six of Swords

Here's your tarot forecast for the upcoming week. I am using the Robinwood tarot deck for this reading.

Card1 - Ace of Wands: This card represents the  atmosphere / key influence or energy that surrounds you. The Ace of Wands in this position stands for a new beginning or opportunity, especially one connected with work, business or enterprise. It may also suggest a new direction in life, an inspiration or idea taking birth and discovering a new passion.

The highly potent, fiery energy of this Ace brings increase in activity, creativity, insight, ambition and desire for improvement. However, if not acted upon or seized at the right moment it can also fizzle out soon.

Card2 - The Tower: This card represents your reaction. It is the energy you bring to either support or oppose the energy of card 1. The Tower, astrologically represented by the planet Mars and symbolising the element of Fire, fully complements the energy of the Ace of Wands.

The Tower is a powerful, electric force that stands for shaking up of the old order and recharging the energy of life. You are dynamic, passionate, ready to act and take advantage of the opportunity represented by the Ace of Wands.

However, do keep in mind that the Ace of Wands type of opportunity may also manifest as increase in aggression and ego based responses and the Tower often suggests explosive emotional reactions. In matters that need subtlety and sensitivity, such as personal relationships, you may need to tread cautiously and temper your high energy with understanding and tact.

Card3 - Six of Swords: This card represents how things will progress in the future. The Six of Swords is about movement from a place of turbulence to a place of calm. It often suggests healing of emotional hurts in the past and improvement in communication issues.

If the Tower experience causes any upheaval, upset or tumult in your life it is likely to get sorted by the end of the week. Things will move forward and get better after a period of struggle and order will be restored after chaos.

With two Fire cards and one Air, the cards bring a lot of active energy into play this week.
Your actions may have far reaching effects so channel them with your strong and positive will in the direction of your choice so as to have the maximum impact. Have a wonderful week!

Card images from Morgan Greer tarot :
Wheel of Fortune, Nine of Wands, The Moon

Here's your tarot forecast for the upcoming week using the Morgan Greer tarot deck.

Card1: Wheel of fortune - This card represents the overall mood or atmosphere this week. It is a major arcana card signifying an important change or time of transition in your life which has already happened. This is the wheel of life which is constantly in motion and it has an important and timeless message for you. Change is what life is all about and being a part of it is what makes us move forward in life. Accept this shift of energy with confidence and faith.

Card 2: Nine of Wands - This card represents your reaction to the energy represented by card 1. The Nine of Wands is about being at the ready, being prepared for tough situations and displaying strength of character. This is the right attitude to deal with the change that the Wheel of fortune has set in motion. You have the stamina and physical and mental strength to go ahead and keep things in control.

The card may also suggest some inner concerns or insecurities that you may be preparing yourself to battle. You may also be defensive or a bit suspicious of anyone who does not respect your personal or social boundaries. Try not to judge people too harshly as your sensitivity may be stemming from your own inner conflicts rather than any external source.


Card 3: The Moon - This card represents how things will progress. The Moon is a card which brings to fore some inner or subconscious feelings that you may have reason to keep hidden from the world.

As the week progresses you may find yourself in the grip of a strange, inexplicable fear or confusion. The Moon card usually also throws light on issues in the distant past which you may be trying to keep out of your conscious mind. Try not to take these feelings too seriously as they may be temporary and will resolve on their own.

The Wheel of fortune and the Moon being major arcana cards may point to issues of significance to you this week. However, both suggest things in a state of transition so your feelings may undergo a change sooner than you believe possible at the time. Remember your attitude can go from being strong and self protective to being too restrictive. Treading a fine balance is important as is having faith in yourself. So think positive thoughts and have a wonderful week!

Weekly tarot forecast - Jan 4 to Jan 10

Card images from Crystal Visions tarot:
Death, The Empress, Eight of Swords 

Here's your tarot forecast for the upcoming week. I am using the Crystal Visions tarot deck for this reading.

Card 1 - Death: This card represents the key energy or atmosphere this week. The Death card is all about ending what must end. However, this ending is more about a transforming experience than about a feeling of loss.

Something in your life may need a shift of perspective or energy. Something that is no longer serving its purpose. By allowing it to wane out of your life as a natural process and accepting the inevitability of this change you would be able to move forward with a positive vision, faith and confidence.

As this is the key influence in your life this week remember that the process of change and transformation has already been set in motion and by resisting it you would only be bringing feelings of unease and aimlessness to the fore.

Card 2 - The Empress: This card represents your attitude to the energy represented by card 1. The Empress is all about confidence, passion and an attitude of abundance. When you feel like the Empress you tap into your nurturing energy and creative power. Everything seems possible because of the infinite potential it carries. Be self assured like the Empress and let life unfold as you go along. Both the cards signify a major shift in energy this week and something that will take a while to have tangible effects in your life.

Note that the card shows the image of a pregnant woman, signifying new life in a nascent, devloping state. It is the time to be patient, confident and remain poised in the knowledge that you carry within yourself the seed for your future life. Positive feelings and affirmations will help manifest your desire into reality.

Card3 - Eight of Swords: This card represents how things will progress. The Eight of Swords is a classic card of being trapped by your own negative, fear based thinking. The two earlier cards suggest ending of something followed by development of something new. But it may take time to manifest. If you allow yourself to lose faith in your own abilities and give up your ideals and goals at this juncture, you will block your own progress.

The situation shown by the Eight of Swords may seem bleak, however, it is only limited by your vision and perspective. The moment you decide to act with conviction and brave all odds by conquering your inner fears, they will cease to block your way.

As the week progresses you may find your confidence and conviction affected by some negativity or minor difficulties arising from within you or your surroundings. Try not to let them overpower you and cause a sense of hopelessness. Accept the challenges on your way with fortitude and move on.
Have a wonderful week!

Weekly tarot forecast - Dec 28 to Jan 3

Card images from the Hanson Roberts tarot deck:
Knight of Cups, Five of Swords, Ace of Rods

Here's your tarot forecast for the upcoming week. I am using the Hanson Roberts tarot deck for this reading.

Card1 - Knight of Cups: This card represents the key atmosphere or energy this week. Being a knight this represents forward movement, excitement and pursuit of something in the emotional realm.

The mood is romantic and optimistic with someone bringing a message of love and the promise of a bright future in your life. It could literally represent a lover for some people, a soulmate or someone with whom you have always felt a strong emotional connection. This is a good time for opening up to people, expressing your real feelings, showing affection and understanding and being materially and spiritually generous to people around you.

Card 2 - Five of Swords: This card represents your reaction to the energy shown by card 1 and here it shows a card of conflict and challenge. Swords are symbolic of problems related to thoughts, words and ethics. The fives in tarot all represent some kind of challenge experienced halfway through a phase in life. You may react to the optimism or positive energy of someone close to you with suspicion or a feeling of resentment based on past issues. You may want to snub friendly gestures, hold a grudge for something said in jest and in general react with hostility and unnecessary aggression.

Try not to scrutinize every little action of others under a magnifying lens and choose to focus on the bigger picture of life. Remember that tit for tat may not always be the right policy and some petty wins really are no more than a pyrrhic victory leading to regret and unhappiness in future. Try and achieve a win-win situation by choosing to act consciously instead of reacting unconsciously to events and words as if on auto pilot.

Card 3 - Ace of Rods: This card represents how things will progress. The Aces in tarot all represent a new beginning and as the Rods, or Wands as they are traditionally known, are symbolic of drive, ambition, passion and ego, the Ace of Rods signifies an opportunity in this realm that is still in the developing stage and has great potential to grow.

This week, proceeding directly after the Five of Swords and the feelings of conflict it often leads to, this Ace seems to represent a toughening of stance, ego issues on the rise and a general feeling of assertiveness that may turn to aggressiveness.

As is the case with this particular 3 card spread, your point of power and change is card number 2. Pay attention to your thoughts and actions this week and try to resist the urge to get swept along the current. Certain events may not be under your control but by being in control of your reactions to these events you can certainly change the direction of future events. Even if you are unable to do so entirely remain conscious of the consequences of your actions and the power you always hold within yourself in choosing to act a certain way.
Have a wonderful week!

Weekly tarot forecast - Dec 21 to Dec 27

Card images from the Rider Waite Smith tarot deck:
The Hanged Man, Three of Wands, Judgement

Here is your weekly tarot forecast. I am using the Rider Waite Smith tarot deck for this reading to get some insight into the energies at play.

Card 1 - The Hanged Man: This card represents the key theme or influence in your life this week. It signifies a time of stillness and lack of movement which could also mean stagnation for some. Things may seem to be moving at a very slow pace and without any real focus or direction. Infact the direction of energies may seem to be reversing at this time. If you have been very energetically involved in your pursuits so far you will find yourself being drawn to a less frenetic pace of life.

Some of you may experience a shift in perspective, especially with regards to your work situation. It is a time to look deep within yourself and decide where your priorities and happiness lie. It is also a time to let go and give up some measure of personal control for the sake of a higher cause such as a healthier lifestyle or harmonious personal relationships.

Card 2 - Three of Wands: This card represents your reaction to the energy of card 1. You seem to be agreeing here with the key message of the Hanged Man and standing still for the time being. You may want to assess your past accomplishments and build on those in future. Or you may want to look back at the past and the lessons learnt at an earlier time.

Overall your mood will remain upbeat and you will be confident about your abilities to create a better  future for yourself. This is a very good card for future growth and expansion so do not be afraid to grab opportunities and aim big.

Card 3 - Judgement: This card shows how things will progress. While the earlier cards showed a slower pace and a reflective mood, this one is about finally waking up to a powerful realization. It signifies a strong message being communicated to you, either by an external source or arising deep within you. As the week progresses you will come to know which direction to take and what path to follow. Things will become clearer and you will have an instinctive sense of what is right or wrong for you in your particular situation.

This card also represents some past issues or secrets coming to the fore. The revelation may happen either by another person or as a result of your own matured understanding of events in the past.

The Hanged Man and Judgement both being major arcana cards in tarot point to issues of significance this week. Things that have been in limbo or did not make much sense until now will begin to form a bigger picture by the end of the week. As you move from the 'not knowing' state of the Hanged Man towards the more 'knowing' state of Judgement, you will find your confidence and focus increase. Remain aware of the power of your actions as you progress from one milestone to the next.
Have a wonderful week!
