The card I’ve drawn today is the 2 of Wands. The keywords of this card are boldness, originality and personal power.

This is a great card to let you know that you’re heading in the right direction. Today would be an ideal day to make plans in all areas of your life and take the initial steps into making your dream a reality. Don’t think mundane either – make sure your goals are big, bold and daring (well, at least a little). Why would you want to have an extra £50 in the bank when you could manifest £5000? Why settle for a new ‘second hand’ car when you could plan a sparkling, brand new BMW? It’s these plans (think cosmic ordering) which shape your future – if you can think it and believe you can achieve them then you will get it!

In work, it’s a great day to work with others on shaping the future of your company or develop new products. There’s a connection with team members and you all feel you’re on the right track. Think outside the box and be daring in your suggestions – it’s these creative sparks which lead to greatness.

Take time today to spend time dreaming and planning with your significant other. Think of things that you’d both like to do together – get some holiday brochures, book a night away in a hotel or plan to renew your vows. You’ll find this sharing of the future will only serve to strengthen your connection to each other.

With finances, things are improving but everything is still in the pipeline. You’re yet to see any actual material gain but it will come – you just have to be a little more patient.

The card I’ve drawn today is the Page of Wands. This card is one of the court cards and can be read either as another person in your life or the energy that you need to take on today. For this reading I’m interpreting the Page of Wands as the latter.

This page is the chid like personality of the fire element. He or she is energetic, creative, confident and courageous. Pure energy!

The Page of Wands doesn’t let anything hold him back. He sees an opportunity and goes for it – there’s no time for hesitation or pondering whether it’s the absolute thing to do. He knows that if he doesn’t take it then the opportunity will be gone tomorrow. So take on this go-getter attitude today. If you’re offered something, or even someone, grab the opportunity with both hands and run with it.

Confidence is key with this card. You’ll get so much more out of today if you act confidently and self assured. You may not feel this way at all so ‘fake it until you make it’ and you’ll soon be walking that air of confidence which turns heads and commands respect.

There’s great energy around today for beginning creative projects. This doesn’t necessarily mean arts and crafts but anything you feel enthusiastic about.

If you are faced with challenges today try not to take a conventional approach to finding a solution. Use the creativity that’s buzzing around and think outside the box.

The card I’ve drawn today is the Death Card. This card is one of the major arcana and shows important energy flying around today.

The Death card is probably the most feared card in the deck. However, it usually symbolizes change coming your way. Some Tarot decks have called this card ‘transition’ or ‘transformation’ to soften the name of the card.

When this card appears in readings it means you’re in for some changes. There are areas of your life that can no longer remain the same and whether you want it or not the Universe is pushing things along to a conclusion. Although change can be really scary, you must remember that the end of one thing as we know it means an opportunity for something new to come along. If we embrace life more as an adventure and embrace new opportunities the Death card is a little less scary.

As the whole theme of this card is transition, you’ll find today that you may receive some unexpected news regarding finances. It probably won’t be the positive news you’ve been waiting for but it will release you from the uncertainty of all of those ‘what if’s and ‘might be’s. News that gives you a definite yes or no breaks you from these chains and allows you to get on with your life.

With relationships just like finances, news may come your way which you don’t welcome. Changes may occur and you feel out of your comfort zone. If you’re single then today doesn’t hold much chance of finding and keeping a partner – although you may find a quick fling on offer.

Whatever changes come your way you don’t have to like them, they may make you feel uncomfortable but ultimately you’ll find that everything really will work out right in the end.

The card I’ve drawn today is the Star. The Star is one of the 22 major arcana and shows important energies flowing around today.

The Star is a card of luck and hope. Even though things may not be going quite as planned today, everything will work out absolutely fine in the end. When this card appears it doesn’t usually mean you’re going to be instantly gratified but rather good things are in the pipeline and they will happen.

Things are looking up. Solutions to money worries could well be on the way. If you’re in a relationship then it’s about to get stronger and happier. If you’re single then expect some compliments and perhaps a little flirting. Family relationships are less strained. And hard work will be rewarded.

Expect good things to come your way today!

The card I’ve drawn today is the 8 of Wands. The keywords for this card are communication, quick action and news.

The energy of this card is very rapid so today be prepared for a wild ride. If you’ve been finding things stagnant and, well, boring then today will feel like the cork has popped and the energy is flowing again!

Communication is very important with this card especially newer kinds of communication such as emails and faxes. So today don’t forget to open your mail box or check the fax machine – there could be some important news waiting for you.

At work, don’t be afraid to broaden your horizons. If you’re wanting a change type up your CV and get to sending it out to new companies. If you want to work for yourself then today is ideal to begin a website and begin getting yourself known. If you’re happy where you are at work then you can expect a steady stream of work coming your way and short deadlines to meet. Think outside the box and use new ways to do old tasks.

With romance, you may find yourself attracted to a new person in your life. It will be out of the blue and knock you off your feet. The attraction is not only on a physical level but a spiritual connection too. If you’re already in a relationship then you’ll find things hotting up. Open and honest communication takes your relationship to the next level.

The card I’ve drawn today is the Ace of Swords. It shows new ideas, conflicts arising and truths.

When an Ace appears in a reading it usually indicates an opening for a limited time – usually around 6 months to a year. If you don’t take the opportunity when it presents itself then you may not get another chance.

This Ace is ruled by the air element of Swords and shows opportunities or beginnings in areas where thoughts and ideas are important. The energy of Swords indicates things happening quickly so you have to keep on the ball today.

If you get a great idea today then you must act on it immediately. By following up with action you’re guaranteed good results. If you let your ideas pass you by then you’ll never know what success you could have achieved. This applies to all areas of your life – work, relationship and finances.

Today is a good day for opening up communication channels. If you’ve been meaning to call or write someone then do it today rather than procrastinating more. Today is particularly suited to oral communication so pick up that phone!

Also, with communication being themed so strongly today, be prepared for conflicts arising. Tempers may flair and you’ll need to be diplomatic in order to resolve any issues. Don’t be tempted to fight back with harsh words – diplomacy is the key!

As a general rule, today be as truthful as you possibly can be. If you tell a few fibs then they may come back to haunt you!

The card I’ve drawn today is the 10 of Cups. The keywords for this card are harmony, peace and family life.

The 10 of Cups is a card of completion – a time when you can quite rightly sit back and feel a little smug about your life. Often this card is called the ‘happy family’ card and signifies a time of domestic bliss!

Home is very much the forefront of your mind today and it’s here you truly find refuge from the rest of the world. Your safety and security is wrapped up in your family and home life. Sometimes you may not appreciate all of this but today you’ll see it for all it’s worth.

At work, you may find yourself in a favourable position as past difficulties fade and harmony reigns supreme. New ventures at work may be found through social or family contacts. It’s also a time to extend yourself to your co-workers – help out any way you can and pay particular attention to those who may be feeling lonely in their personal life.

Romance is very important today for those who are in a committed relationship. The energy of today highlights the positive aspects of your relationship and you may find yourself falling in love with your partner all over again. If you’re currently single but with a special someone then it may dawn on you that he or she is ‘the one’.

The card I’ve drawn today is the King of Pentacles. This card is one of the court cards and can be read either as another person in your life or the energy that you need to take on today. For this reading I’m interpreting the King of Pentacles as the latter.

This King is the masculine like personality of the Earth element. He (although in readings it can be a she) is mature, resourceful and can be very businesslike.

The energy you need to adopt today is that of being a success. This card is not about half measures or ‘almost there’s the King of Pentacles is successful and he knows it! You may not feel like you are a success in aspects of your life so today ‘fake it until you make it’.

At work you don’t have any time or inclination to get involved in office gossip or politics. You see the work out in front of you and you set to get on with it. You’re focused and determined to see your projects to completion. You take great pride in your work and set out to only do your very best. If you’ve been looking for another job and have interviews lined up today then you’re bound to impress the interviewers with your knowledge, approach and maturity. You know you’re the man for the job (or woman) and it won’t take long for you to persuade others to your way of thinking.

In relationship, don’t let anything get you down. You may have been through a rocky patch with your partner but today you should act as if everything is back to normal. In fact better than it’s ever been before. Pull out all stops to ensure you and your partner have a luxurious day – buy flowers, get chocolates, book a table for 2 at somewhere exclusive. Indulge and enjoy.

This is a good day for investments as you have a clear, business head on your shoulders. Look at your options, weigh up all odds and use your financial sense to steer you in the right direction.

The card I’ve drawn today is the 7 of Wands. The keywords for this card are aggression, defiance, fortitude and independence.

There is a very strong energy with this card – it’s all about standing up for yourself and what you believe in. Don’t let anyone push you around today and be prepared to put people in their place if they do overstep their bounds. Everything really is in your favour so don’t give in to anyone.

You may think that everything is an uphill struggle and you’re never going to see any results – don’t’ fret. Today is just ‘one of those days’ and you’ll find things even out tomorrow.

If you’ve been waiting for important news to arrive, especially if it’s regarding something you’ve had to fight for, then it should be on it’s way. This could be a house offer or something regarding legalities – anything that you feel has been a struggle to obtain.

At work, co-workers may decide to take liberties with you. Don’t let them. If you’ve been wanting a promotion or recognition for your hard work then that will be coming your way too. You’ve had to work hard and you’ll get your rewards!

In relationships you may be tempted to take up arms with your significant other. Although today has a very aggressive energy around it, not everyone is trying to pick a fight with you. Give some slack where it’s due and channel your energy away from fighting.

Enjoy my Tarot ‘horoscope’ card of the day. Today it’s the Knight of Cups

The card I’ve drawn today is the 5 of Cups. The keywords for this card are loss, regret and disappointment.

The 5 of Cups shows that today you’re in a gloomy frame of mind. You would rather dwell on all the things you’ve lost instead of concentrating on the positive things you have in front of you. What’s gone is gone and there’s nothing you can do to bring it back. It’s time to accept it and move forward.

At work you may find setbacks and delays. You would probably rather be anywhere else than at work and your energy levels reflect this frame of mind. It’s hard to get motivated and time drags on endlessly. During this time you might find yourself pondering on all the other avenues you could have taken during your career and how you’ve ended up where you are. If you don’t like it, don’t dwell and make yourself miserable – steer yourself back to where you want to be!

In relationships you might be far more concerned with ‘the one that got away’ than your current partner or love situation. Ex-lovers become ‘ex’ for a reason so don’t waste your energy dwelling on all of those ‘could have beens’ as it’s not going to happen. Turn your energy around and invest it into your current partner or , if you’re single enjoy the life you have now. Life’s too short to grieve over losses of the past – enjoy yourself in the present.

If you’re finding it too overwhelming today with so many past regrets resurfacing in your mind write them down on a sheet of paper and burn them. You’ll find it very therapeurtic!
