Making your 2020 Court Card work for You Part 2

I find that one of the trickiest things in working with a card of the day, month, year etc is that I often forget all about it. Maybe it’s my age. I went into the fridge to look for tea bags the other day… The best way to remember things Read more…

Full Moon | May | Scorpio | The King of Cups

Today the full moon lights up the astrological sign of Scorpio.  This means that the Court Card energy we are looking at belongs to the King of Cups. This chap is regarded as the most diplomatic of the Kings.  In touch with his emotional centre, but not governed by it, Read more…

Tarot Knights | Musketeers

For the past 6 weeks, Friday nights have been dominated by my obsessive need to watch the swash-buckling gorgeousness that is The Musketeers on BBC1.  Who better to illustrate the fast-moving antics of the Tarot’s Knights?

King of Pentacles | Google’s mobile friendly algorithm change

I’ve heard from a couple of colleagues now that Google is changing their algorithm to weight in favour of mobile friendly sites.  That clearly also affects Tarot sites, so, with both my web-design hat and my Tarot hats perched precariously on my head, I am impersonating the King of Pentacles.

Review | Holistic Tarot | Benebell Wen

This is a massive book! Literally,  it is the size of a house brick and runs to 845 pages – and that’s NOT including 27 pages of index. Metaphorically, the Tarot landscape that it covers extends as far as the eye can see and THEN round some corners!  It is Read more…

Full Moon | March | Virgo

It’s that time of the month again, when the moon becomes full and we turn our attentions to the Court Card that bathes in its glorious light!  Yes, on 5 March, our Full Moon rides again! This month, the sun sign is Pisces and so our full moon lands in Read more…

Deck Review | Le Tarot Noir | Ternel & Hackiere

So, someone waved this deck in front of me on Facebook and, of course, I had to buy it.  I must learn some restraint.  But not right now … I quickly sent Matthieu an e-mail and we organised a sale to the UK.  It arrived promptly and well wrapped (in Read more…

Sometimes our emotions can overwhelm us when we feel attacked. It's a defence mechanism, our shield .

But it can mean that your shield does double duty as a weapon and you can hurt someone just as badly - which you may regret once your emotional tsunami has faded.

Have an AWESOME week!

Sheriff's badge, Jigsaw puzzle piece and Waves

You're doing the right thing. Even though it feels tough because other folk might not see life the same way. Being Sheriff doesn'talwayswinyoufriends.  Don't worry about that. You have to complete your own puzzle; those folks need to complete theirs. It can take a while for all the pieces to fit. But they WILL fit. 

Also, take a brolly today, it's going to be wet!
