Sunday Spotlight: The Moon

I love this card but a lot of peeps don’t.

It’s seen as a harbinger of doom like Death and The Devil.

Fair enough too, I mean look at that image. Hard-shelled creatures crawl up from the watery depths, whilst a dog and wolf howl at the moon as it sheds tears between stone towers. It’s a strange, fearful scene.

And yes, The Moon experience can involve raising inner demons, phobias and fears. You could find yourself overcome with anxiety. Or just plain bewildered.

However, we need to flip the script.

Focus on following that golden path over the mountains.

Because at its heart, The Moon has an incredibly empowering story to tell.

Let’s start by exploring those towers…

Throwback Thursday: The Holy Book of Tarot – Childhood

I’ve written before about how Tarot contains a holy book that charts the journey of a human soul through all the stages and experiences of life. I call these cards Life Lessons Tarot, although they’re better known as the Major Arcana.

These lessons are divided into three parts.

The first volume covers childhood.

As follows…

Happy Solstice!

June 21st marks a turning point in the year.

It’s when the Earth takes a pause in its tilt towards or away from the Sun. It appears to take stock of its progress, before moving in a new direction.

We can do the same!

If it’s the Winter Solstice where you are, it’s a good time to do this…

Two of Pentacles: Weigh up what you care about most

Then you can…

The Magician: Set goals for the year ahead

The Winter Solstice is Nature’s New Year!

If it’s the Summer Solstice where you are, stop and do this…

Seven of Pentacles: Reflect on your progress

The Summer Solstice is a good time to celebrate your achievements, and fine-tune your goals for the second half of the year.

But what does the word solstice mean?

Page of Swords: Learning about words

The word solstice comes from Latin. Sol meaning Sun and sistere meaning to stand still. Originally, we thought the Sun leaned towards us, instead of us towards it.

In celebration of the solstice, I’ve just submitted the latest chapter of The Tarot Teaclub to Amazon for publication. I’ll let you know when it’s available to read.

Happy Solstice everyone!
