The Tarot of New Year’s Resolutions

We often start our year doing this…

Page of Swords: Setting goals

Sometimes we tackle them like this…

Knight of Swords: In haste

In which case we might…

Ten of Swords: Burn out fast

In other cases, we need to do this…

Knight of Wands: Summon up courage to take action

Or you might approach your goals like this…

Knight of Pentacles: Laying solid groundwork

In which case you’re more likely to…

Six of Wands: Experience success

Maybe a goal you’ve chosen this year involves this…

Knight of Cups: An act of love

You might feel this…

Judgement: A call to serve others

In which case you’re this…

King of Wands: My hero

My resolution this year was this…

Three of Cups: Start up a dinner club with friends to experience the amazing food we have here in Melbourne.

However, this happened…

The Tower: Omicron

And my friends…

Eight of Cups Reversed: Don’t want to go anywhere outside their comfort zone

So I joined a bushwalking club instead…

The Empress: Enjoying nature

This week my youngest daughter said she would join my dinner club. We went to this high-energy Japanese eating house in the city, Yakimono, where I enjoyed the most wonderful smoked paprika raw tuna steak AND spent precious time with a child who is always super busy…

Nine of Cups: Feeling sated

So I get to participate in two new hobbies this year #win

The Different Stages of the Christmas Season

We’re in the pause between Christmas and New Year. A time many have off from work. In some ways, this is my favourite part of the Christmas season. The manic rush of Christmas has passed and there is time before the New Year to reflect. But maybe you prefer another part?

Let’s explore the different stages of the Christmas Season…

We decorate the house…

Ten of Pentacles: Taking part in valued traditions

Catch up with friends for a drink…

Three of Cups: Socialising

Buy presents…

Six of Pentacles: Giving and receiving

Rush around like mad at the end to get everything done…

Ten of Wands: Being overextended

By Christmas Eve, you hopefully begin to feel this…

Ace of Cups: Spiritually renewed

Beit through your faith, by listening to carols, or by spending time with loved ones.

On Christmas Day we spend time with family.

Hopefully, it felt like this…

Ten of Cups: Counting your blessings

Rather than this…

Three of Swords: Reigniting old heartaches

Maybe by the end of the day you experienced this…

Nine of Cups Reversed: Food coma or other over-indulgence

We now have a week between Christmas and New Year.

Which is a great time for this…

Four of Swords: Restful contemplation

Before the new year comes around.

When we do this…

Ace of Swords: Set a clear direction for the next twelve months

What is your favourite stage of the Christmas season?
