Weekly tarot forecast - Mar 28 to Apr 3

Four of Swords, The High Priestess, Two of Wands
Here's your tarot forecast for the upcoming week. I am using the Robinwood tarot deck for this reading.

Card 1 - Four of Swords: This card represents the key influence or energy this week. The Four of Swords indicates a time of rest, relaxation or recuperation. It's also about giving up the struggle temporarily to renew the energy and allowing a moment of peace in the midst of an ongoing battle. In relationship matters it is suggestive of truce or reconciliation. In work affairs it may suggest a return to order after a brief period of chaos.

Card 2 - The High Priestess: This card shows your reaction to the energy of card 1. The High Priestess points to a time of observation and introspection where inner states will assume greater significance. You will be inclined to think more than act, and passion for worldly matters will reduce. Ongoing issues or challenges may persist for more time so remain patient and desist from struggling or going against the tide at this time. It's best to be emotionally detached and internally strong until you find your natural drive and vigour return.

Card 3 - Two of Wands: This card shows how things will progress in future. You may have to consider venturing out of your comfort zone as the week ends. Your energy and passion will be renewed after a period of rest and you may find yourself taking some steps to effect a change in everyday routines and lifestyle. An increase in self confidence and desire to improve will help you overcome personal challenges. Relationship matters will be resolved as you take the initiative to communicate better and move on from past issues.

This week there is a clear shift in energy that has the potential to bring meaningful changes in your life. Honour your inner impulses and desire for peace and solitude as that will help you move forward with ease. Have a wonderful week!

Weekly tarot forecast - Mar 21 to Mar 27

Card images from the Crystal Visions tarot deck:
Nine of Cups, Justice, Three of Wands
Here's your tarot forecast for the upcoming week. I am using the Crystal Visions tarot deck for this reading.

Card 1 - Nine of Cups: This card represents the key atmosphere or energy this week. It is the card of abundance and wish fulfilment, suggesting desires coming to fruition, success and emotional contentment.

Now is the time to focus on whatever you truly desire and acknowledge its existence in your life. Often we have our wishes fulfilled in unexpected ways so pay attention to what you have got. The card also indicates an atmosphere of comfort, luxury and heartfelt expression of feelings.

Card 2 - Justice: This card shows your reaction to the energy represented by card 1. Justice in this position shows that you would be fair and impartial in your judgements of people and situations. You would be aware of your past actions and ready to accept the consequences. It will be easy to sort out any differences of opinion with your cool, logical attitude. You may also be involved in some important decision making process for yourself or someone else.

Card 3 - Three of Wands: This card shows how things will unfold in the future. The Three of Wands is a card of expansion, growth and exploration. Having made an important decision, you would be ready to embark on another journey with courage, confidence and a desire for growth. Past learnings will prove useful in this quest and so will foresight and vision. You may also have reached a minor milestone or completed a piece of work which will give you immense satisfaction even at this early stage.

Understanding of the cause and effect cycles and how your actions determine significant events in your life is an important theme this week. As one wish comes true and you put another out in the universe, remember the power of your thoughts and actions that help make dreams a reality. Think positive and dream big. Have a wonderful week!

Weekly tarot forecast - Mar 14 to Mar 20

Card images from the Morgan Greer tarot deck:
Queen of Rods, The High Priestess, The Magician
Here's your tarot forecast for the upcoming week. I am using the Morgan Greer tarot deck for this reading.

Card1 - Queen of Rods: This card represents the key theme or energy this week. The Queen of Rods signifies an active, busy lifestyle which demands energy for both work and play.

There may be an atmosphere of excitement and bustling activity around you that will be best tackled with a playful and gregarious attitude. This is also a good time to plan growth based strategies for ongoing projects and develop new, creative ideas for the future.

Card 2 - The High Priestess: This card shows your reaction to the energy represented by card 1. This week your personal energy is in direct contrast to the intensity, enthusiasm and impulsiveness of the Queen of Rods. The High Priestess signifies inaction and passive receptivity, and may involve some kind of secrecy on your part. You may want to play it safe in an atmosphere of bustling activity, observing keenly but not participating, for reasons known only to you.

On another note, The Queen of Rods could represent an actual person, someone in your life who is energetic, charismatic and inspiring; however, your reaction to this person may be not too enthusiastic. You could be pulling back from their chaotic energy, seeking solitude and withdrawal from social activities.

Card 3 - The Magician: This card represents how things will unfold in the future. As the week progresses you will become more aware of your power to mould people and situations as you desire. With immense tact and understanding of your surroundings and by communicating effectively, you will find it easy to make things happen, as if by magic. Whatever you desire with conviction can become a reality now, provided your will is strong and focused on your goal.

A great week for planning and execution of your short term objectives. While the beginning of the week will see you processing available information and taking your time to reflect on the viability of your plans, by the end of the week your focus would be on action and manifestion of those plans. Let your thoughts and words be aligned to your purpose. Have a wonderful week!

Weekly tarot forecast - Mar 7 to Mar 13

Card images from the Crowley Thoth tarot deck:
Seven of Swords, The Magician, The Lovers
Here's your tarot forecast for the upcoming week. I am using the Crowley Thoth tarot deck for this reading.

Card1 - Seven of Swords: This card represents the key atmosphere or energy this week. The Seven of Swords card is named 'Futility' in this particular deck for the reason that usual methods of working often fail to produce desired results when this card's influence is felt.

Things may need to be handled in a subtle or round about manner this week. This is especially true with regards to relationship matters where you will need to be cautious and diplomatic. Now is the time to be gently persuasive and remain sensitive to changing moods and situations. Overt displays of strength or over assertiveness can cause plans to backfire and it will be good to have a backup plan of action just in case. It is important to not reveal all that's in your mind as your words could be misconstrued or misrepresented.

Card 2 - The Magus: The Magus, or Magician as is traditionally known, is card 2, representing your  reaction to the energy of card 1. It is a card of great personal power, charisma and awareness of your own power. You have all resources on hand to achieve your goal, all that you need is focused will power. You will be confident, charming, tactful and persuasive with excellent communication skills to take charge of your situation and grab any opportunities.

The only thing to remember with this card is to make sure your motivations are honest and honourable. This card is also often associated with trickery or deceit. So be aware of someone else with the personality traits of the Magician, who could have a subtly manipulative influence over you this week.

Card 3 - The Lovers: This card shows how things will unfold as the week progresses. The Lovers may signify an actual relationship between a couple, usually a passionate, committed relationship and is a very positive card to have in such a placement, bringing happiness and contentment. It could also signify a strong attraction or attachment to a person or thing, a profession, hobby or dream you may be passionate about.

There is also an element of decision making involved here and you might have to make a choice that is a matter of desire vs practicality. The card suggests following your heart's true desire for lasting happiness.

As all the three cards are associated with the element of Air, which is connected with thoughts and communication, this week you would have to think your way through situations and communicate with care. Choose your words wisely and consciously, honouring your true ideals. Have a wonderful week!

Weekly tarot forecast - Mar 1 to Mar 6

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!
