April Reflection - Knight of Wands

We began April with the Ace of Pentacles, which was a great sign after some tough cards over the previous few months. And so I’m pleased to see the Knight of Wands as April comes to a close, a card of drive and momentum, carried forward by great excitement, enthusiasm and passion.

We’ve taken the seed of potential and opportunity given to us in the Ace of Pentacles and we are running forward with them. And it feels good. You are on fire, my friend!

What this card suggests is that April was a month of progress, where we actually dove in headfirst and did something that tangibly moved us forward in a meaningful way. There is sense of clarity here akin to someone sitting down with inspiration after suffering writer’s block. Things feel like they are flowing again, perhaps after a period of struggle, a stalemate or feeling stuck in some way…

As we enter into April, we have a similar pairing as we did entering March - a Swords card reflecting on the month past and a Pentacles card that looks to the month ahead. What this indicates is that February, March and April may feel like their own three-month ‘arc’, with April fully opening up a new chapter ahead of you. We’ve seen a few rough cards recently - The Devil as our February outlook, the Three of Swords as a February reflection and the Nine of Swords in this month’s reflection for March, but these tougher energies have been indicative of important growth, laying foundations for real movement and action in the months to come - starting with April, it seems, which is a fantastic month to begin, with Springtime in full swing!

At the start of February, we pulled The Devil - as if winter wasn’t hard enough, am I right?

It’s somewhat unsurprising to see heaviness in the cards at this time of year. We began the month in Year of the Snake, a year of shedding, before celebrating the Lunar New Year and entering into the Year of The Horse, a year that brings a lot of movement and momentum. Collectively, this seems to have been felt deeply, with that Snake energy shedding the last things you’ve been holding onto - for some in rather spectacular fashion. Being February, for those of us in the Northern Hemisphere, we’re also at the tail end of winter. In the UK, that has looked like rain, rain and more rain! Grey skies have been aplenty, and that kind of dreariness in our surroundings only adds to the heaviness we might be feeling after a long winter.

February Reflection - Three of Swords

And so this feels like an energetic match for the card we pulled for February’s reflection, the Three of Swords. It’s a card I’ve seen recurring in not only my own collective mini readings this month on social media, but also in other collective readings I’ve come across online too. Pain, heartache and disappointment pretty much sums up this card, and so when I see this appearing here, there is a sense that perhaps you have felt your own pain or disappointment rear its head this month…

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.
