Hello Everyone,
Happy World Tarot Day! Tarot Gift for Subscribers
The Path Within 3-Day Tarot & Healing Course
We still have a couple of places left in the 3-day Tarot Intensive. Here is the link to the full brochure. This will be a small group only to ensure that everyone receives personal attention as they step upon the Path to the Inner Self.
New Moon in Aries
On Monday we see Neptune move into it's Master house of Pisces for the first time since the mid-1800s. This is a time that will herald in an era of appreciation and creation of art, intuition and healing. On this auspicious day we will also have a New Moon in Aries - perfect for inspiration about new projects, creativity and new life! This weekend we are experiencing the Moon in her Dark phase and this can feel like a very heavy and emotional time for some of us. If you are feeling stuck, prepare yourself for monday by de-cluttering in this Dark Moon, particularly old letters, anything that you have not worn in the last 12 months or broken or chipped items that you have been meaning to repair for ages and are just gathering dust. It's time for the new, for the real, for the true self to emerge, why not make a little more room so you can pass through this golden doorway with grace?
Or perhaps it's a good time this weekend to rest and take some time to smell the flowers before you begin this new adventure.
Here is one of my favourite Tarot spreads called the Horseshoe or Advice Spread. I use it look into so many different elements. Why not use this spread to ask for the best advice for you to prepare for this New Dawn:
Here is the fiery Queen of Wands by Ciro Marchetti from his Tarot of Dreams (www.ciromarchetti.com) The suit of Wands in the Tarot are linked to the element of Fire and will help you to raise your energy to meet this beautiful Aries Moon |
Spinning the Threads of New Learning at the Full Moon
When I woke up this morning I felt as if a weight had moved from my shoulders. Ah, the full moon! On Friday we finally experienced Venus going direct after being in such a tough retrograde for the last month. Venus has not completed all of her 'Shadow' work yet (she will move back into Scorpio on 30 November for her last dance with the shadow until mid-December) but there is no doubt that we can enjoy some flowing movement for the next week. Tonight we will see and feel the Full Moon in the last degrees of Taurus as the Sun moves into the dynamic sign of Sagittarius at around 9.15pm.

So what has Venus been showing and helping you to face during her retrograde? Venus is the Goddess of Love - have you noticed any relationships from the past popping into your mind to be examined, remembered, released? When Venus is in retrograde I liken it to the image above - she has to step into the waters of the past to retrieve the deeper and hidden wisdom that we hold around relationships, boundaries and love for ourselves. Now that she has gone direct, use the intuitive flashes, new understanding and hopefully healing that Venus has facilitated to make that final reach for the gold that waits deep within our inner knowing. The gold of acceptance and then release from the past.
I see the full moon tonight as an enormous spinning wheel - a symbol of transformation. We are always growing and learning and evolving just like the moon, the earth and nature's cycles. I have been fascinated with the image of the spinning wheel since working with Venus. I like to imagine that with all we have learnt last month that we can now spin the strands of the past, with the present to create the future that we truly desire. In the Tarot we see a similar movement in The Wheel of Fortune - a card that reminds us that sometimes we just have to trust that the Wheel of Life will turn regardless of not knowing what that turn will be.

Has Venus been asking you to think about the need or desire to control relationships in your life? Surrender and open your heart to the full moon tonight as the great spinning wheel in the sky helps to weave together the threads of your life to bring symbiosis and integration and most importantly, to create the gold that will be waiting for you once this process is complete. Next month we will feature the amazing art of Nadia Turner in our newsletter and below is her exquisite sketch of 'The Weaver' - may the threads turn to gold for you this evening.
