September 2010

An intuitive reading for each sign of the zodiac…

ARIES

10 Vesicas, Rhodonite, Reflection

You need to spend some time reflecting. You have much to offer and may well be investing a lot of time or money into something. The question is, what are you getting out of it? If the answer is ‘not a lot’, then it may be time to direct your energy/time elsewhere. On the other hand, it may be also be time to accept what is being offered! Seek to find the natural balance between giving and receiving.

TAURUS

3 of Staffs, Smoky Quartz, Water

It is time to be honest about your feelings, especially to yourself. Either you are either creating a stifled atmosphere by pretending something to your self or another, or it is time to acknowledge that the air needs clearing. If someone else is causing the bad feelings, then either tell them how you feel or remove yourself from the situation. Being honest will help you clear away any negativity.

GEMINI

The Emperor, Hematite, Transformation

The ‘masculine’ element of you needs to take charge of the current situation in order to transform it. This means being objective, authoritative and decisive. You well may find you need to stand your ground or to slice through barriers, so it is important that you start by getting really clear on what it is you are trying to achieve and then stand firmly behind your convictions and remain resolute.

CANCER

7 Staffs, Moonstone, Love

Um, what’s going on here Cancer? You have some old habits when it comes to love and it is time to move through them. Whether this love is romantic, familial or friendship based it is time to find the courage to accept the way things are and to ‘let go’ of the past. This doesn’t mean that it is the end of the relationship, just that you need to adjust to changes that have happened along the way.

LEO

Judgement, Jasper, Commitment

Judgement day has arrived – it is time to make that decision; either you are in or you are out! You are wasting far too much energy trying to hold the decision back and quite frankly, it is beginning to wear you out. It may help to take some time away from the situation so you can ground yourself and recharge your batteries before committing to the decision that you are finding so hard to make.

VIRGO

Queen of Swords, Amethyst, Chaos

Although you are having to be strong to avoid getting emotionally caught up in a chaotic or messy situation, you really don’t have to do this alone! Your Higher Power is always there ready to support you in times of stress. Sometimes all we can do is channel our emotional energy into developing our faith in Spirit. Pray for strength and then hand the situation over to your Higher Power to sort out.

LIBRA

10 Staffs, Mookaite, Community

The dream you are hoping to make into a reality requires a solid foundation. While you are willing to take responsibility for creating this foundation, you also need to seek the input of others people. This project is either too big to manage on your own and/or it will directly affect these people so you will need to include them in the process. Explore all available options with everyone involved.

SCORPIO

King of Swords, Malachite, Simplicity

You may feel inclined to take a steely stance so’s not to let on what is going on underneath. Things are really stirred up for you right now and you are trying desperately to stay in control of yourself. By all means aim to steady the situation while you figure things out, but the best way to do this is to keep it simple and take things one step at a time rather than trying to stuff your feelings back down.

SAGGITARIUS

8 Cups, Lapis Lazuli, Spirit Guide

You are trying on different roles (or masks) in an attempt to figure out how you really feel about something. While this can be a useful exercise, you may be getting confused because whenever you change, so do your feelings! This is happening because you are looking to other’s responses rather than looking within for your point of reference. Look to your intuitive responses for inner guidance.

CAPRICORN

The Star, Black Tourmaline, Change

The belief that you need outside protection from a negative influence is beginning to dissolve. You are discovering a new confidence in your own ability to handle things that aren’t easy or pleasant and can see for yourself that a lack of confidence makes situations seem far more daunting than they actually are. Embrace this change of heart as it will bring with it a possibility for deep healing.

AQUARIUS

8 Vesicas, Garnet, Direction

Your heart continues to lead the way and gives you a strong sense of purpose this month. The only problem with passion is that is can make you a bit impatient for the end result! Please rest assured that you are on right on course and doing all that you can, so, yes it is OK to relax and enjoy the process. Live life from the point of view that it is the journey, not the destination that is important.

PISCES

6 Vesicas, Turquoise, Choice

It would be advantageous to embrace any opportunities for a change of scenery, as this will help you gain a new perspective on things. By creating some distance from your life you will soon see that there are more options open to you than you previously thought. Once you have discovered this fresh perspective, focus on identifying what it is you really want and how you can make it happen.

August 2010

An intuitive reading for each sign of the zodiac…

ARIES

3 Staffs, Bloodstone, Openness

You may be feeling a little scared of facing a particular truth or worrying about how things will turn out. It is vital that you summon the courage to be honest both with yourself and with others regarding this matter. Once you are ready to stand by the truth (as you see it) and to face things head on, step forward with an openness to finding a solution that will work for all concerned.

TAURUS

10 Swords, Lepidolite, Fear

The end of the road has been reached in a particular matter. It may be hard to let go, but that is what you are being called to do. Holding on will only cause more pain than is necessary. You may not be able to see how things will evolve from this point but you need to put your trust in the process rather than trying to stay in control. Clear any fears you may have by letting go of the outcome.

GEMINI

4 Staffs, Citrine, Air

You are beginning to recognise that you really want to experience a new sense of belonging and connectedness with others. Your thoughts create your reality, so it makes sense that if you want to change your reality you need to start changing your thoughts. You can make progress this month by focussing on what you want to create and by keeping your thoughts positive with affirmations.

CANCER

8 Vesicas, Lapis Lazuli, Chaos

Things are feeling a little (or a lot) chaotic right now. Your best bet is to take shelter from the storm and wait patiently for it to pass. It is important that you don’t act rashly because if you do you are likely to get very wet! Once you are out of the firing line you can tune into your intuition and ask for guidance. By the time things have calmed down, you will know exactly what you need to do.

LEO

9 Swords, Lace Agate, Letting Go

It may be tempting, but you can no longer deny or ignore what you know to be true in your heart. Part of the process of creating the life you really want requires letting go of what is no longer working. This creates a space for something better to take its place. You are holding on because you are scared of the feelings of grief not because this is something you still really want. Be brave Leo!

VIRGO

The Emperor, Amethyst, Challenge

An important man is creating a challenge in your life right now. Whomever he is and whatever his role in your life – there is a road block standing between you both that is stopping things from moving forward. Rather than focussing on his power (and possible refusal) to do something about the situation, turn your attention to your true Higher Power and pray for support and guidance.

LIBRA

Queen of Vesicas, Sardonyx, Creativity

This is a month to take practical steps to make some dream a reality. Although you need to be grounded in your approach it is also important that you also pay attention to your feelings. Seek to balance logic with intuition when making decisions. Including your feelings will help you release the heavy feeling in your heart and enable you to find much more enjoyment in the process. Enjoy!

SCORPIO

Ace of Cups, Malachite, Synthesis

Recent positive developments in your life have triggered some deep seated insecurities. What if you lose what you have just found? These challenging feelings are not going to go away by themselves and if you let them, they will stop you accepting what is truly good. It is time to commit to working through any difficult feelings rather than trying to avoid them by pushing away what you want.

SAGGITARIUS

Knight of Staffs, Lapis Lazuli, Opposition

You have your eye on some venture or perhaps you have been offered an opportunity that fits with something you want. However, your intuition is telling you something is not quite right about it. Rather than rushing into action, take some time to explore all your concerns. Once you are able to take a more realistic approach, you may discover this opportunity is just what needed.

CAPRICORN

Ace of Vesicas, Jade, Simplicity

You seek to create a new inner stability which will give you a strong foundation from which to build your life. This inner stability becomes increasingly important to you as you discover that your outer reality consistently reflects your inner feelings. Keeping things simple will help and should you feel overwhelmed by outside influences, withdraw from the situation to regain your balance.

AQUARIUS

3 Vesicas, Clear Quartz, Direction

This month you are focussed on working towards creative or work related goals. It is important that you clear your mind of any habitual fears or negative thoughts and seek guidance from Spirit every step of the way. Things are beginning to unfold beautifully and many new opportunities and synchronicities are opening up for you. To enable Spirit to work on your behalf, keep tuning in!

PISCES

5 Cups, Ruby, Support

You are very good at supporting others and noticing what they need. However, you are not quite so good at recognising your own needs or seeking support for yourself. If you are feeling drained it is either because you are focusing too much on someone else’s needs or trying to cope on your own. If you want to feel better, start recouping your energy and reach out for support from others.

July 2010

ARIES

5 Swords, Garnet, Choice

This month you are faced with a choice. You can either push ahead with something that you really want to work or you can choose to accept things the way things are and let it go. To decide what is best, put all urgent feelings aside. Once you are feeling calm and centred ask yourself do you really want this? If you have any doubts at all, then it is time to it let go. No doubts? Then stick at it!

TAURUS

Temperance, Jasper, Openness

You are faced with a new situation or emotional state and although you are keen to get involved you are also feeling a little cautious. You can create a balanced approach by remaining open to new experiences while keeping your feet planted firmly on the earth. If you do start to wobble you can ground yourself by going for a walk or gardening. Go ahead and dip your toe in the water!

GEMINI

9 Vesicas, Moonstone, Simplicity

Letting go of old habits or emotional patterns continues to be the theme this month. Lasting change isn’t achieved overnight, you have to nurture the inner garden over time a period of time. It is important that you are patient with yourself while you go through this process and that you take steps to simplify things: Take care of your basic needs for sleep, healthy eating and relaxation.

CANCER

Maid of Cups, Pietersite, Direction

You are well aware that your ‘cup’ needs filling up. Maybe you have already made a decision about how to change things but Pietersite is asking you an important question: ‘Are things like to improve if you follow this path?’ The situation is actually a lot more fluid and likely to change than you realise. Keep decisions loose and take into account the possibility that things may shift over time.

LEO

8 Vesicas, Charoite, New Beginnings

You are starting to build a stronger inner foundation from which to live the exciting drama of your life. This foundation will enable you to begin a whole new chapter and to create the dream life you have always wanted. To make this foundation strong you need to be patient and put lots of work into it. Trust your instincts to guide you along the way and become open to the results you hope for.

VIRGO

6 Swords, Amazonite, Opposition

At the moment you are torn between trying to accept a certain situation and speaking your mind. The way you look at things counts for a lot and much can be altered by a change of perspective. Rather than suppressing what you think you want to say, maybe the answer is to detach from the situation and seek a new perspective on the situation that will enable you to experience acceptance.

LIBRA

3 Vesicas, Mookaite, Challenge

Things are feeling blocked around work, creativity, or a project. There is a challenge that is crossing your path and you are not sure how to deal with it. Typically indecision can be an issue for Librans as you seek harmony and a ‘stress free’ life. Rather than swinging from one extreme to the other in your mind, seek at least three possible options and go for the one that seems the most balanced.

SCORPIO

4 Cups, Turquoise, Change

You really want things to change. Your mind is opening to new ideas and you are becoming aware of a much bigger picture than you could see before. This wonderful ‘opening up’ process is long over due fills you with a renewed enthusiasm for life. To help you adjust to all these exciting changes it is important to reach out and ask for support from people you now know you can trust.

SAGGITARIUS

6 Cups, Fluorite, Letting Go

Either you or another person is digging their heals in. There is nothing wrong with decisiveness as such but in this instance it is either premature or perhaps based on a fearful reaction to something. Regardless of who is behaving this way, it is time to ‘let it go’ and invite to a Higher Power to sort things out. In the end the relationship is far more important to you than the stand that is being taken.

CAPRICORN

Maid of Swords, Aventurine, Stability

You are beginning to rebel against a situation you no longer find tenable. You take your duties very seriously so it takes a lot for you to snap, but this time enough really is enough. When you finally stand up for yourself by saying ‘no’ to someone or something you will be surprised to discover those pent up emotions are quickly released and you can re-establish some calm and stability in your life.

AQUARIUS

Ace of Vesicas, Smoky Quartz, Gentleness

You are creating a new foundation in your life. While you are doing this it is important to become discerning about who and what you allow into your space. Any negative influences, whether internal or external, must be gently extricated before they get a chance to take hold. When making decisions, start as you mean to continue and seek to create the correct environment for your growth.

PISCES

Ace of Staffs, Ruby, Commitment

Finally you have found a magic wand! Well, you have at least re-gained some much needed enthusiasm. Something has (or is about to) enter your life that you are going to want to put a lot of energy into. That will make a nice change won’t it!? You will know when it comes because of your excitement. Grab this opportunity with both hands, it will surely give back whatever you put in.

JUNE 2010

An intuitive reading for each sign of the zodiac…

ARIES

10 Swords, Black Tourmaline, Gentleness

You have reached the end of the road with something that you may have been deeply involved in. You are positive person but something about this situation is beginning to feel decidedly negative or ‘wrong’ to you, and it is important to listen to your feelings. ‘Pushing ahead’ may be your usual way of dealing with things but in this instance you need to gently remove yourself from the situation.

TAURUS

The Star, Clear Quartz, Reflection

Things have felt a little chaotic or unsettled lately. This month you have the opportunity to regain a sense of hope and renewal, as long as that is what you strive for. There is a light at the end of the tunnel, but to get there some personal effort will be required. You are being asked to take some time out for quiet reflection. Create a space for mental clarity and you will soon feel rejuvenated.

GEMINI

Knight of Vesicas, Moonstone, Spirit Guide

You are in a relatively stable place right now which means you are in a great position to make changes. It is time to review this years resolutions and goals and be honest with yourself about how you are getting on. You may well discover that it is time to break free from an entrenched emotional pattern that is holding you back. When you reach out, Spirit will give you all the support you need!

CANCER

2 Cups, Garnet, Water

Cancer, you are in the mood for some loving this month! There is the opportunity to combine ‘true love’ with passion and excitement. It is time to spice things up in the romantic department: If you are in a relationship then allow your partner to woo you or take the initiative and create a romantic surprise. Single? Get out there and show off your charms, you never know who you might meet!

LEO

Ace of Wands, Jasper, Stability

Your enthusiasm for life will return this month with a new project, activity or interest. This is just what you have been looking for, as being involved makes you feel more alive. However, you need to approach this in a more grounded, practical way. To grow tall branches you need strong roots, so make sure you conserve your energy and direct it towards creating a strong, reliable foundation.

VIRGO

3 Vesicas, Hematite, Fire

The focus of the next month is on work or creative projects. You are is an assessment phase and you may discover that some challenging adjustments need to be made somewhere along the line. Allow your passion to lead you to the right answers and be willing to stand behind your convictions. Once you have the solution be prepared to stick to your guns and/or cut through any barriers to progress.

LIBRA

9 Vesicas, Ruby, Creativity

You are in the middle of a process which is taking its time, as all good processes do. In order to facilitate this process, it is important that you look at how you’re spending your energy. You need to pace yourself and make sure you don’t burn out before it is time to ‘give birth’. Think of creative ways to get things done, while enabling you to maintain your energy levels ready for the big push.

SCORPIO

Queen of Staffs, Rhodochrosite, Challenge

Part of you is ready for pastures new and itching to ‘get going’. You know that there are better options for you and you feel an deep inner desire for some kind of change. Unfortunately your inner child has other ideas! You feel blocked because part of you doesn’t want to let go or face the uncertainty of new pastures. You are strong, but you also have a deep vulnerability that you rarely admit, even to yourself. Comfort your frightened inner child by acknowledging your deepest fears.

SAGGITARIUS

Knight of Swords, Tigers Eye, Gentleness

You have a clear goal and right now something is standing in the way of you attaining it. It may feel like a thick of brambles that need cutting down with determination and a sharp knife, but this is not the case. You are feeling angry, frustrated or possibly even scared and it is making you behave in a defensive manner. Relax Sagittarius! Take things one step at a time and look for the gentle solution.

CAPRICORN

Ace of Vesicas, Lapis Lazuli, Connection

You are currently focussed on creating some kind of foundation in your life, one which will enable you to feel more connected to your inner self and possibly to other people. This foundation relies on you developing your ability to listen to your inner voice and to act on it. If things are not yet clear, then trust that when the time is right, they will become so and you will know exactly what to do.

AQUARIUS

8 Vesicas, Citrine, Community

It is important that you continue to work at things and don’t be put off by the apparent lack of results. If you have a dream, then it takes time to actualise and you have to be patient, committed and persevering – all things you find difficult! What will really help keep you going is some comrades on the same path. Join a network or group of like-minded souls or start one yourself.

PISCES

Queen of Swords, Rhodonite, Love

You find yourself questioning whether someone loves you or not because their actions don’t match their words. You are prone to wanting to see the best in people and give others the benefit of any doubts you may have. You need to learn to stand up for yourself as no one else is going to do it for you. Remember the old saying ‘actions speak louder than words’? Protect your wounded heart.

MAY 2010

An intuitive reading for each sign of the Zodiac…

The aim of my work is to offer guidance and support to those who are embarking on a journey of self discovery and personal transformation.

ARIES

Judgement, Lace Agate, Spirit Guide

This month you need to make a big decision. You are aware that this decision has far reaching consequences and this may put you off facing up to it. However, if you allow honesty, integrity and responsibility be your guiding lights in this matter, you can’t go wrong. Resist the temptation to stick your head in the sand. Spirit is there ready to offer guidance and support, you only need to ask.

TAURUS

2 Vesicas, Snowflake Obsidian, Community

There is a need to balance two aspects within yourself or your life. You may find your feelings and thoughts vacillating between two extremes. Normally I would suggest you ‘go within’ to seek inner balance but this will only lead to further confusion. It is time to look for an external balancing point. Focus your attention on positive social events or situations that involve friends and/or family.

GEMINI

Justice, Amethyst, Water

You are having strong feelings about something that you believe to be unjust. You may be tempted to take matters into your own hands but this would not be a good idea because you are too caught up in your emotions. Even if you have a valid point, you may well end up regretting any action you take. Wait for feelings to calm down and reassure yourself with a faith in the natural law of Karma.

CANCER

King of Staffs, Smoky Quartz, Openness

An opportunity to discover your innate strength or ability is presenting itself to you. Strive forward with confidence and be willing to take calculated risks. Balance your naturally cautious approach with an openness toward others to ensure that you can move forward. You will find it much easier to progress when you trust your ability to notice negative influences and protect yourself from them.

LEO

3 Swords, Mookaite, Reflection

Something important is coming to an end and this is causing you a certain amount of upset. Once you have grieved what is lost, spend time reflecting on what other juicy options are open to you. Sometimes a door has to close before we will even consider opening a new one. This is such an occasion! So Leo, put any dramatic doldrums to one side and look for the door to a new adventure.

VIRGO

Knight of Vesicas, Garnet, Birth

Your passion for something or someone is giving you the energy to birth a new phase in your life. This is a wonderful development that will enable you to let go of past disappointments. To make the most of this important birthing phase, it is important that you ground your energy. The Knight of Vesicas shows the best way the way to do this is to focus on practical tasks that need attending to.

LIBRA

The Devil, Malachite, Earth

The Devil points to a strong desire to seek solace in a familiar destructive habit or addiction. This is a golden opportunity to show what you are made of and to ‘do things differently’. Rather than slide down the path of least resistance, look for solutions that will make you feel more stable and strong. You will feel much better once you decide to focus your energy on developing healthy new habits.

SCORPIO

3 Vesicas, Red Jasper, Challenge

You understand life has its natural cycles. However, it does seem that you are finding a particular project hard to commit to because things feel stuck. When progress is blocked, there is usually good reason for it. What is the higher purpose of this block? Are you in need of a rest or a change of direction? Trust that things will unfold in their own time and that your questions will be answered.

SAGGITARIUS

Knight of Staffs, Rhodonite, Reflection

There are some positive changes in your life, however, you are more inclined to feel reflective than energised or excited. If you are not entirely sure about things then check if you are on track. Look at those you are involved with and ask yourself if you are feeling truly valued and appreciated. If you can say yes, then open your heart and let the love flow! If not, then it is time to seek pastures new…

CAPRICORN

High Priestess, Rhodochrosite, Creativity

The High Priestess card has appeared three months in a row. What are the chances of that?! Your intuition is trying to tell you something important that you haven’t yet worked out. The message is regarding a child you know or your inner child. Get creative and find out what this message is. The child will open up to you when you use creative expression such as painting, dancing, or writing.

AQUARIUS

The Emperor, Garnet, Water

Part of you needs to feel calm and stable while another part of you wants to get carried away with a passion. Both of these feelings need expression this month – you cannot forgo one for the other. So, focus on creating stability in one area of your life while infusing another with energy and passion. Allow your feelings to help you decide which strategy to apply to the different areas of your life.

PISCES

Strength, Smoky Quartz, Love

Somewhere inside you are gathering strength. Perhaps you are beginning to discover new sources of love in your life that you didn’t know existed and this is making you feel more able to deal with the less than positive influences that need to be faced. The point is, you really are not alone Pisces and when you accept this you will find life’s challenges much easier to handle. Look for the love!

April 2010

An intuitive reading for each sign of the Zodiac..

The aim of my work is to offer guidance and support to those who are embarking on a journey of self discovery and personal transformation.

ARIES

The World, Black Tourmaline, Earth

A project or situation is reaching its final conclusion and you are experiencing a sense of fulfilment and completion. However something is also negatively affecting your body or your health in some way and you need to do something about it. Whether it is from stress, a person or bad habit, find a way to protect your well being. You will enjoy your success much more once you have dealt with it!

TAURUS

2 Swords, Clear Quartz, Choice

Perhaps you are still feeling a little self protective, but you are also now looking within to find your balance and this will have a positive effect. Having found some inner balance, you will then be able to start clearing your mind of some of the fears that have been holding you back. Your fears will have less power over you once you recognise that you always have several choices available to you.

GEMINI

Knight of Swords, Malachite, Stability

You are hoping to remove something that is no longer working while trying to maintain (or create) some kind of stability. This is challenging because the change that is required will naturally cause some instability, which is the very thing you are trying to avoid. Luckily a balanced approach is possible when you focus on chopping off the deadwood rather than digging up the whole tree.

CANCER

4 Vesicas, Lapis, Change

Something needs to change. Deep inside you know that if things don’t, you are going to find it hard to ignore the way things are starting to grate. You need to align your commitments with your values and your actions with your feelings and words. Start by deciding where you stand on matters. Once you are clear, you will be able to make changes by relying on the strength of your personal integrity.

LEO

Knight of Staffs, Rhodonite, Gestation

It is time for new beginnings, opportunities and possibilities. You may be feeling particularly creative or adventurous and want to try new things out. This is a great way to direct the rising solar energy inside of you. However, before you enthusiastically pour all your energy into something, make sure your efforts will be appreciated and your talents valued. Until then, keep on looking!

VIRGO

9 Swords, Mookaite, Chaos

You are in mourning for the ending of something. While your feelings are perfectly natural, your fear of losing control is not helping you. It is time to look for new ways to deal with your feelings. Start by deciding to accept whatever you are feeling and make sure you are taking time to recharge your batteries. Things will become much easier when you trust that any emotional storm will pass.

LIBRA

5 Swords, Hematite, Feelings

Things have come to a natural conclusion and you are trying to reach a state of acceptance. You believe that you have to be strong and cut yourself off from whatever has ended in order to move on. Nothing could be further from the truth: True acceptance comes through feeling all the feelings then being willing to ‘let go’. Be gentle on yourself and allow acceptance to arrive in its own time.

SCORPIO

10 Staffs, Snowflake Obsidian, Community

This month you may need to get more involved in some kind of group activity. By all means be cautious while you are getting to know new people. However, if you start to feel uncomfortable it is not a sign that you need to get (more) defensive or disappear altogether – it is a sign that you need to look for the lesson or hidden gift in the situation. Resist the urge to make any hasty judgements!

SAGGITARIUS

Maid of Staffs, Amber, Conception

Things are looking up and you will start to feel more like yourself this month. Your confidence and energy should be soaring, but if it isn’t then it is time to shake yourself up by doing a little jig! You need to introduce some fresh air into your lungs either by getting outside or by liberating yourself through exercise, dance or other movement. You will wonder why you hadn’t thought of it before!

CAPRICORN

High Priestess, Fluorite, Letting Go

Whatever situation you currently face, spirit is calling you. Whether you are in trouble, a crisis or seeking direction, it is time to make the connection. It seems that in order to do this you need to let go of something – perhaps the view that you don’t need any help? It is not a sign of weakness to reach out, it is a sign of courage and humility. Pray, meditate or contact your guide for answers.

AQUARIUS

Ace of Vesicas, Amazonite, Connection

You may find a new way to earn an income this month. Though it may take time for money to flow, the Ace of Vesicas will helps you to work toward creating a strong financial foundation. Take things step by step as this is only the beginning. You need work to be in line with your heart. Use your excellent communication skills and seek to make positive connections with people who can help.

PISCES

8 of Cups, Sardonyx, Creativity

You are looking for a way out of a situation and may even want to hide from something, however all is not yet lost. It is time to get creative and to look for new solutions to an old problem. Start by admitting to yourself that hiding is not going to get you what you want! It is time to reach out to the people around you and decide together what needs to be done. A positive solution really is possible.

Freya’s Astro Advice

March 2010

ARIES

The Emperor, Fluorite, Openness

You can reach a much stronger position than you have been in for some time. The key to this new position lies not in being dogmatic or fighting your corner, it comes from being open and allowing things to unfold naturally. You worry that you need to be stronger when actually what you really need is that childlike faith you are renowned for. Trust that everything is turning out for the best.

TAURUS

3 Swords, Kunzite, Creativity

Something is creating a predicament for you or causing you some grief. However, your situation is no where near as bad as you think it is. If you have been trying make a stand, then it is time to put the sword down and stop fighting the situation. When you use your creativity to look for a positive solution, you will surely find one. Look for a way to share a little more of who you truly are.

GEMINI

The Tower, Turquoise, Synthesis

Change is in the air. It may feel a little unsettling because it either takes you by surprise or because it is so far reaching. Rest assured, things are coming together, even if you can’t yet see how. If things feel a little shaky or scary, just remind yourself that this part of the process to getting you what you want. To help you on this exciting journey, focus your attention on the bigger picture.

CANCER

4 Swords, Rhodonite, Fire

You have been inspired and know what you want but you are finding it really hard to get motivated. If you are feeling tired or overwhelmed it’s because you believe that you are not being supported in some way. Take some time out to decide exactly what you need and from whom. Once clear, you can confidently approach the right person and ask for what you need in a way that can be heard.

LEO

10 Vesicas, Smoky Quartz, Water

Things are looking good and you should see the fruits of your labour this month. However, there is a bit of an undercurrent which is causing you to be a little cautious. If you start to feel suspicious of anything or anyone, then listen to your intuition. Enjoy all that you have achieved but also keep your environment free of any negative influences or people. Remain detached until you feel sure.

VIRGO

10 Swords, Lepidolite, Choice

The 10 of Swords marks the end of an important road and Lepidolite suggests the need to let go of control: If there was ever a time to surrender – this is it! Having said that, there is still an element of choice in your situation. You can chose to continue to struggle on, or you can chose to step out of your own way and hand things over to the care of some Higher Being. The choice is entirely yours!

LIBRA

9 Staffs, Sugilite, Gestation

You have an idea or secret that you are keeping close to your chest because you are concerned that if you share it, things will go wrong. You know it is best to wait until things are clearer or more developed before you tell someone else about it. However, part of you feels strange about being ‘on your own’ with this. Trust that you are being guided and that the right time to share will be revealed.

SCORPIO

6 Cups, Pietersite, Gentleness

You are feeling excited about new developments in a key relationship. However, you are also feeling wary about letting your guard down. While caution is a sensible approach in a new situation, it is also important to be gentle with yourself and the other person concerned. Give things time to settle into what they are going to be. Gentleness will help you let go of your need to stay in control.

SAGGITARIUS

3 Cups, Moonstone, Reflection

Your feelings really are your friends, just as long as you don’t allow the negative ones to take over your life. Reflective thinking will pay off this month, as it will enable you to get to the bottom of a deep fear or other emotional issue. It is time to completely let go of some old emotions. Once you’ve done this you will see that you have much to celebrate in your life and that it is time to do just that!

CAPRICORN

High Priestess, Sardonyx, Spirit

With the High Priestess on your side, you are blessed with intuitive insight into any situation. You are also assisted by the appearance of Spirit which will guide you in the right direction. It is time let go of the heaviness in your heart; you can move forward with optimism because you have all that you need to help you on your way. Trust that your instincts will protect you and lead you home.

AQUARIUS

Maid of Cups, Jade, Air

Things are calming down and you are feeling more at peace with your life. This means that you are able to create a balance between your emotional and intellectual needs. You can find a way to be fully emotionally involved while also creating the space you need to focus on other things that need your attention. Once you have found your balance, look out for genius ideas or flashes of insight!

PISCES

Ace of Cups, Clear Quartz, Connection

Love is everywhere, you just have to make a choice to look for it. There really is an endless supply of love and it is available to us all. No one human being holds the key to your emotional happiness. Part of your life’s purpose is to find a way to connect to Source and open yourself to receiving love. If you are feeling lost or lonely, reach out to the guardian angel that always walks beside you.

ARIES

Death, Rhodochrosite, Reflection

The profound change that has been taking place has finally reached its conclusion. There is no going back and it would not be beneficial to even if you could. It is time to let go and accept the new order. Either a child or your inner child (or both?) also needs to be supported through this process. Take time to slow down so you can reflect on the lessons that have been learned.

TAURUS

Ace of Swords, Lace Agate, Challenge

Something is blocking your path. You have a clear direction but you are not sure how to handle this obstacle. You may be inclined to give the obstacle a hard time but it will only dig its feet in further. Channel your famous stubbornness into clarity of purpose and the mental determination to find a solution. Do not seek to push against the barrier, instead use gentleness and encouragement.

GEMINI

Knight of Cups, Bloodstone, Synthesis

Things start coming together nicely this month. A new job, relationship or opportunity comes along and may even take you by surprise. It may feel ‘lucky’ but really it is the natural conclusion to what you have been quietly working towards. However, this opportunity may make you feel nervous because it will require you to courageously step out of your comfort zone to claim what’s yours.

CANCER

Knight of Staffs, Amber, Love

You want to start a new chapter in your life. You want to forge ahead with enthusiasm and positivity but something is holding you back. When you think about it you seem to start fearing that you will lose someone or something you love if you go ahead. What is actually holding you back is lack of self confidence. You can do what you want. And remember you can never lose what is truly yours.

LEO

The Wheel of Fortune, Lepidolite, Gestation

Things may have changed but the outcome of those changes is still up in the air. You may want it all be to done and dusted but that is not the nature of things. A process of change has begun but you are in the gestation period and it is important to be patient. Instead of channelling your precious energy into futile worrying, use this time to focus your mind on manifesting the positive outcome you want.

VIRGO

The Star, Fluorite, Air

There is still a strong connection to Spirit and you are aware of a wonderful opportunity for healing and renewal. Spring may not yet have arrived, but you are feeling a distinct stirring under the covers! While you are waiting for things to develop, turn your energy to matters of the mind. Perhaps you have some work to get on with? Any communications or writing are beneficial now.

LIBRA

10 Vesicas, Citrine, Reflection

Money is on your mind this month. Perhaps you receive some and you are thinking about what to do with it? Or are you thinking about how to make more in the future? Whatever your current situation, this is a month for reflection. You need to evaluate your habits for creating, saving and spending your money. Changes need to be made that will benefit you financially in the long run.

SCORPIO

6 Cups, Kunzite, Conception

I see the beginning of a wonderful love affair! Okay it may or may not be Mr/s Wonderful but either way, it is definitely something to smile about… Someone is really into you, and whether it is a lover, friend, boss or client, you need to trust this great feeling. You have weeded out the less desirables from your life and you are now emotionally free for the ‘real thing’. Embrace the new connection!

SAGGITARIUS

8 Cups, Haematite, Fear

What are you afraid of? I mean really?! It seems you think you are scared of something but if you were to peel away the layers, you either have no case for it or you are actually scared of something completely different. Either way, it is definitely time to get to the bottom of things because it is holding you back. It is time to confront your fears with determination and a steady sword.

CAPRICORN

King of Swords, Chrysocolla, Creativity

You tend to take your responsibilities very seriously. You can be extremely tough with yourself about ‘doing what is right’ but are not so clear about others’ responsibilities toward you because you fear having to be as hard on others as you are on yourself. Actually there is no need to be so hard on yourself or others! Look for creative ways to get across what is bothering you in a direct manner.

AQUARIUS

5 Vesicas, Turquoise, Change

You are not sure how you feel right now. You can see a bright future but you can also see that you will have to endure some hardship to get there, and you are not sure how you feel about this. While you are aware of the hardship and the bright future – what you can’t see right now is how things are going to change. All you can do is trust that things will change and maybe sooner than you think!

PISCES

Queen of Cups, Carnelian, Choice

Pisces, you do have a choice about how you feel. Negative emotions have an important role to play and expressing them is both healthy and necessary. However, holding onto them will only rob you of your joy and energy. It is time to ground your emotions. Look for ways to inspire feelings of love and gratitude, then visualise holding your positive feelings in your heart and watch them expand!

January 2010

ARIES

2 Staffs, Rhodonite, Change

You have reached an important crossroads. This means that you need to assess where you have been and where you are going. Your life is undergoing some profound changes so it is important that you gain clarity about the process you are going through. This is not simply an intellectual process – you need to really listen to your heart in the situation you face. Ask your heart what needs to change.

TAURUS

Strength, Amazonite, Challenge

Creative changes continue to stretch you. Amazonite returns to you this month asking you to continue to express what is in your heart. However, you are now going deeper into a situation and you are finding it a challenge or perhaps you have hit a road block? You are being tested by the Universe to see if this is what you really want. Be strong in your resolve – you know you can do it!

GEMINI

9 Swords, Sugilite, Letting Go

Well there is no way around this Gemini, something had to give and now you know what you need to do. Unfortunately you are not very happy about letting go of something you associate with security. Have compassion for the part of you that doesn’t want to let go and find a way to reassure yourself that you will be better off without it. Make a list of ‘pay-offs’ and read it every day.

CANCER

6 Cups, Pietersite, Reflection

A relationship is still taking centre stage at the moment. Things that came to light recently have left you feeling unsure of yourself, the situation or the other person. Whatever is going on, things are likely to shift again, so it is really not a good time to make major decisions or take impulsive action. Now is a very good time to step back and observe the changes while reflecting on how you feel.

LEO

10 Swords, Clear Quartz, Chaos

If you have been hanging on to something or resisting the changes that have been beckoning you then you may find this month a challenge. A storm is brewing and it is going to force you to accept that change is indeed required. Whether you experience the storm internally or externally, it will bring with it the clarity or vision you need. Ride the storm and use it as a tool to clear your mind.

VIRGO

Knight of Staffs, Sugilite, Spirit Guide

You are feeling inspired by something or someone new. The Knight of Staffs heralds new beginnings and influences, particularly on a creative/sexual level. Your Guide has come to tell you that you are ‘on path’ (in case you have any doubts) and are therefore protected. The best thing you can do is to open your inner channel to receive this new energy and allow it to work through you.

LIBRA

The World, Mookaite, Letting Go

This is an important period of completion. This month you can enjoy your achievements or the experience of reaching a specific goal. Take time to acknowledge how well you have done and reward yourself for your hard work and perseverance. Once you have done this you then need to integrate your experiences so you can let go and move your energy on to the next project or goal.

SCORPIO

3 Cups, Lapis Lazuli, Air

It is time to become much more savvy about who you spend your time with. You are perceptive but you don’t always listen to your inner voice and sometimes you end up keeping everyone at arm’s length. You are now beginning to realise there are people around who share your values and who you can intuitively trust. It is time to surround yourself with like minded, supportive people.

SAGGITARIUS

Knight of Swords, Moonstone, Synthesis

You may need an emotional detox. If you have been harbouring negative feelings that feel like a broken record, it is time to cut through the proverbial! Of course you are entitled to negative feelings but if you wallow in them they will end up running your life. It is time to see that things are coming together exactly as they should. Focus on what is good and allow yourself to be happy!

CAPRICORN

Maid of Vesicas, Malachite, Choice

You are reaching a greater sense of inner stability because you are centring inwardly rather than looking outside of yourself for answers. Malachite suggests that there may be some challenging feelings to explore now that you are feeling more grounded. Rest assured, you have the right state of mind to deal with them and you always have a choice about how to handle difficult emotions.

AQUARIUS

King of Swords, Black Tourmaline, Fire

You are a power house of mental determination and clarity, combined with creative passion and motivation. You are, however, also feeling slightly on guard. What you are experiencing is a natural reaction to the intense energy you are currently summoning up to use in your life. You need to develop self protection without resorting to fear: Be discerning about where you direct your energy.

PISCES

3 Staffs, Carnelian, Openness

There are lot of things to sort through and although it seems to be ‘stuff’ about other people, it is actually ‘stuff’ within yourself. You will find it hard to open up to others or to life if you are deceiving yourself in some way. It is time to ask those important questions and give yourself really honest answers. Take some time out to ground yourself and to sort out your inner reality.
