January Reflection - Seven of Moons (Cups)

Hooray - we made it through January! We often feel like this is the slowest month of the year, but surprisingly, talking to clients and friends, it feels like the pace has been picked up as we’ve entered into 2026 - and I have certainly felt this myself too!

Chaotic and hectic, these are the two words I’ve heard others (and myself) say over and over again since the start of the year, which is why the Seven of Moons is no surprise.

In this card, we’re looking at what’s in front of us and we don’t really know what to do with it. Ultimately, this can cause apprehension, procrastination and overwhelm, and we can see this in the hesitation of the hand in the image.

Perhaps we have multiple options and we don’t know which way to go. This isn’t a case of having to make a clear cut decision, this isn’t big stuff. I’s the small things. It’s when we have a to-do list as long as our arm, and we don’t know which task to start with. It’s when we have 1000 creative ideas, so it’s impossible to discern which ones have potential and which don’t. It’s thinking about the next step in your business and not knowing which one is right for you. It’s trying to juggle more social commitments than you can plausibly fit into your diary…

It might be a new year, but it’s also a new month, and with that, comes a Monthly Reflection, just a little later than usual! This month, I used the Prisma Visions deck and pulled two major arcana cards, which feels rather fitting considering the shifting energy, between these two years (you can read about 2025 here and 2026 here).

Justice unsurprisingly concludes what has been a tough year for many, with The Empress being a welcome soft introduction to 2026. Let’s break this down, shall we…

October Reflection: Justice

When the card Justice appears in a reading, things are off-kilter in some way. Most obviously, it can be because an injustice has occurred, and for many, there may have been a very clear and obvious ‘wrongdoing’ in the month of October. However, as a collective reading, this may not have been the case for all. For some, the injustice is simply the imbalance of things, and Justice appears with her cool-headed clarity, revealing to us exactly what is wrong.

Justice is one of two cards in the tarot deck that speak to the concept of balance, but where Temperance refers us to an additive approach (what can we incorporate into our lives to bring balance?) Justice on the other hand asks us what we can remove.

Something has been brought to your attention, whether through a direct injustice, or simply through irrefutable clarity. A situation has shown you what it really is, and in October, we were invited to consider, what are we going to do about it? Because you can’t throw more at this problem and think that it’s going to change, or magically go away. Something’s gotta go…

August Reflection - The Star

I’m pleased to say that we begin September in a powerful and positive position!

So, let’s get the tough stuff out of the way first, shall we? With The Star as our card for August, this may have started out as a challenging month. In the image we see here, bats circle in a dark sky. The woman in the image is stripped bare, vulnerable. This is a general reading of course, but for some people, there may have been a bit of a ‘dark night of the soul’ type moment - where we just feel awful, hopeless and exposed. If you have felt this way in August, I’m glad for say this isn’t for nothing. There is value in the difficulty you have endured this past month, because it has healed something, whether tangible or intangible. When I say ‘healed’, this has a somewhat metaphorical meaning. It’s like a wound has been brought to our attention, perhaps a wound reopened, that never fully healed, or maybe one that we’ve ignored for far too long. Either way, it’s been brought to our attention because it needs to be dealt with, in order for us to move forward and embrace our future in the best possible way. We cannot carry this into the next chapter of our journey, and so we needed to address it right now.

There has been a collective energy lately around emerging from our comfort zones, and this Monthly Reflection is no exception. As we enter into August, we are met with a sense of yearning, a sense that something is missing, and if we truly want it, we can’t stay where we are.

July Reflection - The Wanderer

This is a beautiful bonus card found in The Wandering Moon Tarot (a wonderful, high-quality deck). In the image, we meet The Wanderer, who appears to be sitting atop the moon alone. She looks out towards a crescent moon in the distance. She may be physically on this moon, but her mind and heart are elsewhere. This forms the basis of our reflection for July…

The monthly reflection comes a little late this month - moving home has been a little chaotic! But we’re back with quite a bang - two major arcana cards make quite the powerhouse combo here!

The Wayhome Tarot’s version of The World, called The Universe, is perhaps my favourite. Its beautiful imagery captures the complexity of a card that is mostly reduced down to being about accomplishment, achievement and completion.

Don’t get me wrong, it is about those things - but what does that really mean? Let’s break it down.

The months of April and May appear to mark an important turning point for us my friends! The areas we have been stuck are being brought to light, and while it might be painful, it is an opportunity to release and to forge ahead on a new and better path.

So, let’s break this down…

April Reflection: Three of Swords

This was a significant, albeit difficult, month.

The Three of Swords is our card of heartache, a card many of us fear to see, and the way the Wayhome Tarot depicts this has an interesting additional layer for us to consider.

We can see the blood red liquid as a signifier of the pain we hold within ourselves. It sits there, circling round and round within us, an endless loop…

March Reflection: Seven of Wands

If you’ve been following along with this year’s monthly reflections, you’ll know that, at the start of the month, we pulled the Seven of Cups for the outlook of the month ahead. At the end of the month, we see another seven in our reflection!

We began the month with the potential for distractions, but the Seven of Wands indicates we’ve handled those distractions rather well. These distractions came to knock us off our path, and we said, “No, thank you!”

As we enter the month of March and we see the first signs of Spring (or Autumn for my Southern Hemisphere friends), the Nine of Stars indicates that many of us are bringing big goals or dreams along with us, taking root through the course of February.
