Card images from the Anna K Tarot deck:
Eight of Pentacles, Page of Rods, King of Pentacles
Here's your tarot forecast for the upcoming week. For this reading I am using the Anna K tarot deck.

Card1 - Eight of Pentacles: This card represents the key theme or influence this week. There is a lot of focus on getting the work done, using your talent and delivering the best. You will be busy and happy working. The card signifies a productive time professionally that calls for diligent, sustained effort towards completion of a project or task.

Routine or mundane life will not bother you, infact you will thrive in an atmosphere of stability and order. It is also a good time to practice your craft, get engaged in learning/training activities and add to your repertoire of skills.

Card 2 - Page of Rods: This card represents your reaction to the energy shown by card 1. You will be enthusiastic, curious and excited by the prospect of any new learning activity. You will be eager to learn by doing things and strive to get better at your work. Pages in tarot often bring messages or news of some sort and the Page of Rods signifies new work opportunities, positive messages related to your profession or new career options. A busy, energetic, outgoing life will suit you this week.

Card 3 - King of Pentacles : This card shows how things will unfold in the future. As the week progresses you will feel quite confident about your professional life. You can expect much stability and financial security at this time. You may make some important decisions related to your assets, property matters, health or financial investments. Slow and steady is the style of this King and it promises great returns and long term value in professional and business matters.

With two Pentacles cards this is a work focused week with emphasis on growth and expansion. The cards show that hard work and diligence will be rewarded. Be ready to give your best to whatever you do, pay attention to practical details and success will surely follow. Have a wonderful week!

Weekly tarot forecast - Feb 22 to Feb 29

Card images from the Chrysalis tarot deck:
The Star, Ace of Pentacles, Ace of Swords
Here's your tarot forecast for the last week of February 2016. I am using the Chrysalis tarot deck for this reading.

Card 1 - The Star: This card represents the key theme or atmosphere this week. The Star is a card of hope, tranquility and generosity of spirit. There's a feeling of having survived the worst and knowing you are protected, loved and blessed. It may have come from having gone through a period of emotional turmoil recently.

Now is the time to look forward to the future with a deep sense of self assurance. Things will start looking up and there could be new opportunities, recognition, fresh perspectives and a broader vision that will guide you this week. It's also about a calm acceptance of your vulnerabilities or weaknesses and the knowledge that whatever your situation in life, there is always hope for things to improve in the future.

Card 2 - Ace of Pentacles: This card shows your reaction to the energy represented by card 1. The Ace of Pentacles, like all Aces in tarot, represents new beginnings and opportunities. Being a Pentacles Ace, this card brings opportunities in the physical realm such as money, health, the homestead and all tangible assets and possessions including documents, contracts, etc..

The card often suggests a period of regular, routine activities which seem pretty mundane at the time but, looked at from a broader view, are actually the stepping stones to material security and happiness. You may find yourself engaged in your daily chores, working hard at something, getting documents or contracts in order, attending to your financial matters or beginning a new health regime, all with an eye on future growth.

Card 3 - Ace of Swords: This card represents how things will progress in the future. The Ace of Swords suggests the start of something in the realm of thoughts, communication or intellectual or ethical challenges of some kind. As the week progresses you would have the clarity of mind and purpose to strive forth with immense self confidence and a rational, progressive mindset.

Swords signify the power of words as much as thoughts so how you communicate and interact with people would be important. Your focus would be predominently logical rather than emotional so try and soften your stance especially when communicating with loved ones. Let yourself be guided by Truth - not only about your surrounding situations and people but also your personal beliefs and values, before making quick judgements.

With two Aces this week and the Star as the key theme, new beginnings, outlook and challenges are sitting on the horizon. Make the most of the opportunities coming your way and have a wonderful week!

Weekly tarot forecast - Feb 15 to Feb 21

Card images from the Osho Zen tarot deck:
King of Pentacles, The Devil, Three of Swords
Here's your tarot forecast for the upcoming week. For this reading I am using the Osho Zen tarot deck.

Card 1 - King of Pentacles: This card is named 'Abundance' in this particular deck and it represents the key atmosphere or overall theme this week. There is a feeling of security and stability in your life right now and this comes from knowing that you can have all you desire by doing the right things. There is an atmosphere of practicality, comfort, material abundance and readiness to enjoy the good things of life.

While a focused, practical attitude like that of the King of Pentacles can be very rewarding, sometimes it can cause us to develop a materialistic outlook or become complacent about our emotional or spiritual needs. This card is a reminder to assess which areas of life you are abundant in and which you need to refocus on with a fresh perspective.

Card 2 - The Devil: This card shows your reaction to the energy represented by card 1 and it is named 'Conditioning' in this deck. The Devil is about being trapped in a mindset conditioned by social values, personal beliefs or deep rooted fears in the subconscious mind. It often suggests masking our true feelings for the sake of keeping up appearances or seeking security in numbers. The image reveals the story of the lion who was raised by a flock of sheep and grew up believing himself to be one. There is a need to recognize your true self here and have the courage to honour your individuality.

In an atmosphere of abundance, you may have forgotten to pay attention to your real needs. Do you desire the material comforts and social or financial security represented by the King of Pentacles? Or would you rather follow your heart and tread a different path? Ask yourself if your present routines are helping you achieve your goals or hindering your happiness.

Card 3 - Three of Swords: This card represents how things will progress in the future. The Three of Swords card is named 'Ice-olation' in this deck and it has an important message for proceeding forward in a situation where you find yourself stuck or trapped by your thoughts. Thoughts, just like the swords in tarot, are double edged and can bring clarity as well as pain. You may need to break the icy shell around you by letting your true feelings guide you.

As the week progresses you may find yourself becoming burdened by your own negative thinking patterns. The way out may be in finding release through trusting your inner feelings about a matter of concern. In trying to act tough, communicating with your head rather than your heart, holding a grudge or disregarding your emotions, you may be causing yourself pain. Let go of the negativity and  allow yourself to feel the real thing even if reality hurts and you will find yourself in a much happier place eventually.

Let your thoughts and words find harmony through understanding. Have a wonderful week!

Weekly tarot forecast - Feb 8 to Feb 14

Card images from the Druidcraft tarot deck:
Seven of Pentacles, Knight of Wands, Page of Wands
Here's your tarot forecast for the upcoming week. I am using the Druidcraft tarot deck for this reading.

Card1 - Seven of Pentacles: This card represents the key atmosphere or influence in your life at this time. It shows that the time may be right to reap a harvest sown earlier. You could expect the results of an endeavour or  find yourself eagerly, and a tad impatiently, waiting for some kind of action, reward or situation to unfold. The card usually urges patience, caution and careful assessment of a situation before taking action.

Card2 - Knight of Wands: This card shows your reaction to the energy represented by card 1. The Knight of Wands attitude is all about seizing the moment and going after your goal with great optimism, confidence and zeal. You would be quick to grab opportunities and prove your mettle. You could also be impulsive, impatient and not in a mood to wait for an appropriate time if there happens to be some delay. Avoid making snap judgements or act without thinking. Take a moment to define your priorities for this week and set realistic timelines for achieving your goals.

The card is also about a lot of quick action taking place which could manifest in various areas of your life such as moving your work or home location, making changes to your lifestyle or a lot of energetic and passionate interaction with people. It is good to follow your heart but also be sensitive to others' feelings.

Card3 - Page of Wands: This card represents how things will progress. Pages in tarot signify communication or news of some kind and this one, in particular, brings messages that are positive and uplifting, usually connected to work or enterprise. The Page of Wands is characterised by high enthusiasm, eagerness and curiosity and often may represent a young person who may delight you or prove helpful in some way. End of the week could bring some excitement and anticipation for the future.

The Wands cards suggest a lot of action this week, however, as we have the influence of the Seven of Pentacles, results may take a while to manifest fully. The mood is upbeat and the timing right for making significant changes in your routine or considering new ventures, whether in your professional or personal life. Take advantage of this positive energy and have a wonderful week!

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!

Weekly tarot forecast - Jan 25 to Jan 31

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!

Weekly tarot forecast - Jan 18 to Jan 24

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!
