Spiritual guidance February/March 2026: Thoth Tarot Seven of Swords

Here’s my spiritual guidance February/March 2026, covering the lunar month beginning with the Aquarius new moon and solar eclipse on February 17th at 12.01pm (UK) through to March 18th. Every new lunar month I draw one card from the Thoth Tarot to spark intuitive insight about the key energy to navigate by during the coming four weeks. I then take a quick look at the astrology.

Spiritual guidance February/March 2026 inspired by the Tarot

This lunar month arrives with a whisper and a warning as the Seven of Swords steps forward as guide for the next four weeks. It’s a card that asks you not to take anything at face value, including your own thoughts.

Soulful activism: The courage to feel it all

Soulfful activism; The courage to feel it all

Stillness can feel unbearable. Facing what we’re actually feeling or hearing in the moment feels like too much. But when we avoid it, we miss the truth waiting just beneath the surface – the pain, the sorrow, the fear of uncertainty. And yet, that’s exactly where healing, and soulful activism, begins.

So much of today’s human suffering stems from our resistance to sitting with discomfort. You can see it everywhere in the constant push toward the next high, the next achievement, the next distraction. It shows up in the rage and vicious backlash when someone’s beliefs are questioned or contradicted.

In 2016, these same questions were stirring in me and I gave them voice in a poem inspired by Shakespeare’s Hamlet.

Love letter from your Higher Self

Your higher self

My beloved one, it’s me – your Higher Self.

It might not feel like it now, but I’m writing to tell you that you have already everything you need to make it through these troubling times. I know this with absolute conviction. How do I know?

I’ve watched you face challenges before, when it felt like your life was falling apart and you didn’t know whether you were going to make it to the other side. Or if you did, whether you would have the energy to keep moving forwards after that. And yet here you are, still.

Love bomb; a poem

Love bomb; a poem by Semele Xerri

I was inspired to write this poem after listening to several friends express hurt over small things that nonetheless exploded their sense of self and confidence. I began to imagine creating the opposite with a love bomb! Simultaneously, I was attending an excellent online course by Trust the People, facilitating work with others in our neighbourhoods to shape our society into one that serves the needs of all. They have some excellent tools for overcoming the inevitable challenges that arise in human relating.
