I can’t believe it’s mid January already.  I haven’t even written down any new year’s resolutions.  I guess I had better save them for next year!

The first class of the year starts this Sunday.  I’m a little worried because it’s a smaller space than I would like, but there really aren’t too many rooms for hire at reasonable rates, plus I really wanted to be connected with a new age shop and centre again.  So many years in Mysterys’ HUGE workshop space has me spoilt, I think.  There were times we had 40 or more people in there.  So it will be quite strange going to a small, intimate group but it will have it’s benefits too.

This looks like a really interesting talk coming up at the Adyar Bookshop in Sydney next year.  Put it in your diary!

I don’t know about you but every time I read the news or watch it on tv, there seems to be more and more violence, bloodshed and terror around the world.  How can this be when so many people are embracing spirituality and becoming self-aware?  What happened to the idea of ‘critical mass’, where if enough people start to do something, it eventually slides into the mainstream and becomes commonplace?

Q: Will ever get over my mom not being there for me and will we be able to ever have a good relationship.

There are real issues of control in this relationship.  She wants to control you and you want to control her, or at least modify her behaviour.  I get the sense that your mother’s mother is one of the keys in resolving this ongoing family issue.  How was your relationship with her and how was your mother and her relationship?

Your mother is eaten up by a terrible bitterness.  It’s something inside her that she triesto hide but it’s like she nurtures and grows it by not being able to let GO. What we focus on grows and she spends a lot of energy focusing on how she was hard done by or mistreated.  Are your parents divorced or has your mother been married before? The Hierophant and the 3 of Swords are coming up for her and they can indicate being betrayed in a marriage, but also feeling betrayed by god.

However the presence of the spritely Fool lets us know that there is new life ahead for your mother and therefore for your relationship with her. Try and find some forgiveness for her in your heart.   She may never be the mother you want or need,but I think there can be peace between you.

Q: Will you also ask the cards if my sister will ever get her act together and have a decent life?

A: I’m sad to say that without medical help and a good therapist, I don’t think so.  The cards I got for her are the Ace of Swords and the King of Swords alongside the 5 of Wands.  The 5 of Wands shows a constant level of chaos and drama in her life.  Not enough to make her want to change (yet) but enough to keep her distracted from the real issues in front of her.

The Swords cards can indicate both legal issues and health issues and my take on these cards for your sister is that she is at the beginning of a legal situation that may take some time to resolve.

Medically,I feel your sister may actually have ADD or some other learning disability.  She’s not unintelligent, but she can’t quite make things come together the way they do for other people.  she seems to be quite clever and creative but lacks a consistent outlet for this.  It’s hard for her to settle into the routine of employment.

I am also being shown an unresolved trauma that occurred in childhood but not the nature of it.  I feel people were dismissive of her concerns or feelings at the time so it was pushed aside and never addressed properly.  I also feel a strong sense of grief around her in relation to a child as well as her own childhood.  The King of Swords can also be a man who is critical of your sister, at best, and abusive towards her, at worst.  Can you comment on her r’ship with your maternal grandmother?

I can hardly believe that our 24 week tarot course is nearly finished.  Our Thursday nights are the highlight of my week!  It really has been a wonderful journey and I have enjoyed every moment of it, and as usual, the teacher has probably learned more than her students. Read more »

Q: I am currently studying a Diploma. Do you see me finishing this Diploma and will i be successful and open my own practice?

A: The cards I drew for you are the 5 of Pentacles reversed and the Hanged Man.  If you have been experiencing some difficulty lately, I feel this is passing, but there may be a time of no progress while things shift and change direction.  I think you will achieve the goals you have in mind, but there may be delays and setbacks before you get there.  If it’s what you really want, just keep on track and stay positive.  There are a number of big life lessons in this situation for you, and some issues with your family that you need to resolve before you can move forward.  I get a sense that you may have your ‘head in the sand’.

Q: I’m currently studying naturopathy and am half way through my second year. I love the course and all that it has taught me so far both for my future practice and my personal life.  However, I am undecided about which direction I would like to specialise in.
Can you see a particular direction I will take with my studies? And whether it will bring me what I want to achieve as a practitioner?

A: Let the chaos ferment a little longer.  By the time you finish what you are studying now, the way will be a little clearer. The main message here is for you to enjoy the journey and the destination will reveal itself.  Trust in your Higher Self to take you where you need to be.  The cards I drew for you are The World, Temperance and the 3 of Wands.  There is no doubt in my mind that you will find the success you are looking for, but I also think there is some international travel and study coming for you.  Keep doing what you are doing and let go of the need to control the outcome.

Blessings.

Q: What do you see happening with the man who is currently in my life?

A: The cards I drew for you ar ethe Queen of Wands and The Devil.  These cards indicate that there is great passion and chemistry in the relationship, but I think it will eventually burn itself out.  I don’t see this r’ship lasting the test of time.  I suspect you may find yourself rowing a lonely boat by the end of it, because you don’t give up easily.  I see you at a party wearing a blue dress and meeting a dark haired man.

The Empress is the fourth card of the Major Arcana, although it is numbered 3.  (Remember The Fool is the first card and is numbered 0).

The Empress is linked to the The High Priestess but unlike the HPS, the Empress is a card of activity and movement. The basic meaning of this card is growth, prosperity and fertility as The Empress is ruled by Venus.  In a spread, this card can indicate pregnancy, luxury, abundance and acting on one’s internal guidance.
