Hello beautiful souls. It’s Saturday morning here in Tasmania, and as I write to you now, I can hear the Magpies in the garden around the studio. The sun is shining and I can see some blue sky beyond the trees. After such intense energies, it feels very calm, and there is a sense of being able to exhale – though not completely. Not yet.

You may recall a few weeks ago, I said we weren’t quite in the eye of the storm, but it was approaching. A series of incremental and volatile events has been swirling and gathering pace and while we have all been in empathetic distress over the suffering of others, or focusing on our own survival, the old, sick men in power have been busy in the shadows. As I look at the timeline of themes in our collective story over the last 3 years, it’s all playing out as the cards and our Guides showed us. I don’t say that with ego, I say that to bring hope. Because the cards consistently showed what comes after this time too.
All year, the messages have been clear. Every reading has shown us the Tower or the Death card (cards that rarely fall together from the deck so consistently). There has been significant water and fire energy readings and messages, and given we are in, what feels like the eye of the storm right now, these will continue to play out.

Many of our systems are at breaking point, there’s environmental destruction, women are still dying at the hands of their partner (either directly or indirectly), there are needless wars fuelled by greed, we live in a world where those in control – and have power, rarely face the consequences of their crimes (and I’m not just talking about church/state or Monarchy -I’m talking about Tech/Pharma and that person in your family). Things feel SO unstable because the “few” have pushed their agenda to the brink and we are no longer in balance.

BUT! There is hope. Yes, we are in the Tower energies right now, but do you know what comes after the Tower in the Major Arcana? The STAR.

The first card to fall last night was the Star card and even though it was in the position of the SHADOW, “what is the unseen/buried emotion”, I feel this represents a seed pushing back up through the earth.

The lotus in the mud comes to mind.

We, the collective, may have lost sight of Hope as we look around but remember we are in the midst of the Pisces Release. A watershed moment.
There will be a time where we are all in a state of quiet shock and disbelief as we look around our planet, as significant events just keep coming, as revelations and secrets come to the surface, significant endings (people/systems/ideas), as we begin to see the world as it really is. The release will be the moment that pushes us over the edge (whatever that may be for us on a personal level and on a collective level), but once that happens – we can never go back! Which is why the Queen of Wands was such a welcome sight!
We are aware! We are waking from this illusion of separation and control. We’ve been spellbound and transfixed, feeling as though we didn’t have any power. This is not true. We each have a quiet strength and power within us. We are all connected. We all want safety. We all wish to live a creative, joyous and abundant life. We all share a deep desire for harmony and peace. Once we connect to Nature, connect to Source and our own Divinity, we will draw energy from that connection and we will realise how strong we are together and that we can bring change.

I want to finish here with the 3 cards that came up as qualifiers after the main reading last night. The bottom of the deck underpins the current of the whole reading and shows what is out there energetically, so it’s not quite manifested in the collective yet, but it’s there.
The Page of Wands, Potential. After three Tens appeared showing major completions, the Page introduces the first spark of the next cycle.
We don’t need to know the plan yet, we don’t need to have all the answers. We just need curiosity, willingness and some courage to follow the spark. Potential becomes embodied purpose when we read with the Queen of Wands.
The new idea, voice or movement begins tentatively, but it has the capacity to mature into confident, heart-led action.
Collectively, this may be a younger generation, women taking the lead, a new creative movement or an emerging way of leading.
Personally, it asks us to notice the small spark returning after exhaustion. Don’t dismiss an idea just because it’s not fully formed in your mind yet.
I also HAD to consult the Lemurian deck. I was initially surprised at what came up, fully expecting a more water-based energy.
However, it's perfect (of course...lol). The Earth Star Chakra /Initiation echoes the Star in our spread. If you take a look, you can see we have a Star above and an Earth Star below the reading. Spiritual hope must now be grounded in the body, the Earth and become a lived reality.
This is not about escaping into Piscean visions and dreams. It is an initiation into bringing those dreams down into form, rooting ourselves in Gaia, attending to physical and nervous-system safety, and allowing the Earth to hold what the emotional body is too overwhelmed to carry alone. (Interesting Root Chakra work here).
Then the Three of Pentacles (a card that’s been coming through for a lot of my clients lately) explains how the new potential becomes real through collaboration, shared skills and purposeful building.
This reinforces the Two of Cups energy. In the Sacred Circle deck it’s more about the ways we are different yet still managing to come together for the greater good. The new world isn’t about one person forcing everything into place. This isn’t about untouchable, powerful elites. This new world is about creating something else through our relationships and connectedness – a new world where we all work together and contribute our unique skills to build something better.

OK beautiful souls, I just wrote as it flowed this morning so I hope it all makes sense. Take time to rest, reset or recharge. We are still where we are, but you can help yourself by releasing those old emotions and just allowing whatever emotions surface to flow. Imagine them flowing away from you, transmuted by the light. Better still, head to the water and ask the tides to carry them away🌕✨🌊
I'm going to try and get outdoors and possibly get on with a DIY "project" I've been working on, so I can really switch off and recharge. I can already sense Mary is around me so I know she will have some healing words to share later. And on that note, if you feel drawn to send some healing out into the world, your love, attention and intention is enough. Just spend a couple of moments grounding yourself, focus on your breathe, and just bring to mind a healing energy enveloping the world. If this feels too difficult, simply say a few words, or feel, your intention to send healing. You can finish by saying "And so it is..." if you wish.
Sending you all so much love. Feel your feelings today, (don't suppress) and be gentle with yourself and others. You are not alone and you are loved more than you know.✨🌕✨☯️💖💖
