Who you are; a poem

Posted on Apr 6, 2023 in Healing, Poetry, Spiritual living, Uncategorized

I wrote Who you are on April 5th 2023 – the eve of the full moon in Libra. I wasn’t conscious while writing of how appropriate it was for that particular moon and the astrology surrounding it, but I’m never surprised by where my inner knowing takes me. The Sun conjunct Chiron opposite that moon offered potent healing energy for the kind of wounding described here, common to many. The experience itself happened many years ago, but its vivid memory sustains me still. It’s a poem for any time, and for anyone walking the spiritual path…

Guidance for March/April 2023: It’s all about give and take

Posted on Mar 18, 2023 in Spiritual living, Tarot, Uncategorized

Here’s my guidance for March/April 2023, covering the month beginning with the new moon in Aries on March 21st (in the UK). The Thoth Tarot suggests we engage with the energy of the Six of Disks this lunar month. The subtitle is immediately uplifting, indicating successful new developments and feelings of abundance, enjoyment and growth. I find it so interesting that with the Spring Equinox only yesterday reminding us of balance, so does this card. It suggests that these practical, positive results come about through aligning forces in harmony and reciprocity, both spiritual and material.

The dance of equilibrium; living a balanced life

Posted on Mar 1, 2023 in Spiritual living, Tarot, Uncategorized

It’s often talked about fairly glibly as a good thing, but how do you go about living a balanced life? A dear and wise friend, whom I respect deeply, recently called me a master of balance, which was very lovely to hear. She noticed that I always balanced the demands of intense professional work with “play” time just for myself. It reminded me of another conversation in which a fellow healer observed that I was better than any other therapist she knew at matching the healing and holding energy I give to others with attending to my own self-care.

Guidance for February 2023 – Power up and do it

Posted on Feb 18, 2023 in Spiritual living, Tarot, Uncategorized

Here’s my guidance for February 2023, including a one card Thoth Tarot reading and a brief overview of the month’s astrology. The Thoth Tarot presents us with the energy of the Two of Wands to work with this month, urging us to act with the full force of our enthusiasm and inspiration. This month gifts you with clarity on what you want and the courage to risk moving towards it. On a personal level, this means building total confidence in and acceptance of yourself so you can focus all your will on going for it. At this point, know that where you’ll end up doesn’t matter; now is just about deciding on and taking the first step. So whatever it is you’re fired up about, it’s time to do it.

Peace with yourself creates peace with others – reading for 2023

Posted on Jan 9, 2023 in Uncategorized

As I prepared to pull this Thoth Tarot theme card for this reading for 2023, I saw in my inner eye the image of a bright flame burning in the darkness. It flickered and was pushed and pulled in different directions at times by the currents of air around it, but it always returned to a steady centre and it was never extinguished. As I continued to watch, many similar flames sprang up all around it to enlighten the darkness with warmth and radiance, and my heart was filled with a sense of loving connection and active hope.

The first thing I noticed when I turned over the Four of Swords was the beautiful and soothing colours of emerald green and cobalt blue.
