Guys it's my first #Caturday on YouTube... no wait, it's my first video on YouTube! Woah!
Hopefully I don't look like a dork too much.
So what's going on this #Caturday? It's all about shaking off the restrictive thoughts about your current situation and seeing things as they really are - AWESOME!
Happy #Caturday and happy YouTube watching!
Love, light and dorky videos!

I don't know about you guys, but sometimes I feel like I'm working so damn hard. Thinking, planning, working on projects, blogs, writing novels, just like doing stuff in the hopes that one day I'll find some kind of success in something and make a difference to the world!
So a lot of the time I'm looking at the computer screen, or at my feet feeling dejected about the fourth rejection in my inbox from a literary agent (OK, so that's still way less than J.K Rowling), or I'm bummed out watching the Almighty Johnsons (please watch this show, it's amazing!!) because only like one person looked at my blog yesterday even though I spent ages typing up what I thought was a killer post!
But the Eight of Wands reminds us this #Caturday that just because we can't see the movement doesn't mean things aren't happening for us. Maybe my agent hasn't joined the agency yet. Maybe there are lessons to learn and blocks to bust before I can experience what society tells me is this thing called 'success'.
Maybe if we all just stopped feeling so glum about nothing happening we could look up from our falling apart leopard print Converse sneakers and see that things are happening around us all the time in the cosmic web of life we all weave and none of us can see it all! There is so much going on right now that affects us that we are so completely unaware of. Like right now someone somewhere might be packing up the ready meal that you are going to eat next week and you'll probably never even think about them...
So today let's take a breath and remember that so much good stuff is happening around you all the time even when you are feeling totally bummed, and you can never feel too totally bummed if you go look at some clouds.
Love, light and flying wands! <3

PS - I'm thinking about showing my face on the YouTube! Come join the discussion on my Facebook page if you'd like to tell me what you want to see! Deck reviews, Tarot tips and tricks (you can never have enough tips and tricks right?!), week ahead readings, personal readings...?! I'd love to hear what you want! x
Guys, it's the weekend why the hell are we looking at the Three of Swords?! This is the ultimate heartbreak card, seriously I don't want to be seeing this first thing on a #Caturday morning! Oh but wait, it's reversed... but is that any better?!
What I'm seeing today is a chance for us to let go of some of that heaviness we have in our hearts, imagine those swords are sliding out now! We are human, we've all had heartbreak and none of us is walking around with a bouncy pure happy heart, that's just not possible in these bodies! It's part of this life's experience to feel emotional pain. Total bummer, sorry guys, but it's true.
So what can we do about it?
1. Accept it. Accept that you have heartache. Don't hide from it, don't cover it with a cute heart shaped rug, look it in the face and say - hey it's OK, this is a part of me and I can work through this.
2. Forgive. Oh hello. Like it's that easy?! If you can' t totally 'forgive' whoever or whatever has hurt you that's cool, this isn't an overnight fix it trick. Just ask the universe, God, angels, guides whoever you like, to help you. What's with this forgiveness thing? OK that's like a whole post, no wait, like a book. What I learnt this week though is that we can't just forgive others, we need to forgive ourselves for how we feel about others. If someone hurt you, you can forgive them, but can you forgive yourself for the mean thoughts you've been thinking about them? Yes, you can and you need to!
3. Heart chakra cleanse! Do some work on your heart chakra this weekend! Do whatever visualisation works for you - green/pink wheels, light, hearts, flowers, whatever, but make sure you see your heart centre as beautiful!
4. Give some love. Send some love to someone; energetically or physically! Give someone a hug, send a virtual hug or an energetic hug!
5. Love yourself. Argh! What?! This is not Radical Self Love Bootcamp! (Although I love that stuff.) We are all at different stages of our self love journey. Some of us are just starting to not hate ourselves and put ourselves down so much, others are feeling much more confident these days but still struggling with certain aspects, and even those of us who are seriously into the self love thing are still having bad hair days. But it's not just about your hair...
When I started writing this post I thought it was just going to be about heart chakra clearing, but there you go - the message today is actually this:
<3 You need to start loving who you are <3
I'm off to what I think is going to be a fabulous workshop today with the lovely Louise Androlia and will be blogging all about it later so come back soon!
Also I'm still giving away free readings if you have a burning question you would like some clarity on! :-)
Love, light and loving who you are,

This #Caturday we come across this guy who's doing a bit of a juggling act. This kitty is holding onto two coins and seems kind of unaware of the sea and ships behind him. He's got lots on his mind trying to keep those two coins from falling, you can't totally blame him for not seeing what else is going on around him.
We might be doing our own little juggling act this weekend. I'm sick with a cold which totally sucks and I kind of feel like this kitty right now - I'm trying to rest and get better but there's so many other things I'm thinking about!
This kitty is a message for us today to focus on one thing at a time, whether it's resting when you are sick, putting away your phone when you're on a date or out with friends, or even - and this is something I always do - checking the IMDB app on your phone while watching a movie. I mean do you really have to know what that guy is from?! Can't you just enjoy the movie and look it up later? At the very least, pause the movie while you do it!
If you're super busy this weekend and don't even have time for a movie then you can also make a to do list. It sounds seriously lame, but I swear by them (when I actually do them!). It's a good quick way to work out which jobs are important, what can wait, and when you tick everything off you have the rest of the day to yourself instead of procrastinating about everything and still having to do it all tomorrow.
On another note, I haven't been able to do any free readings in the last few days and I know there's a couple waiting in my inbox. Hopefully my head will be clearer tomorrow or at least by Monday so you should get your reading then if you are waiting, I apologise for the delay! If you would like a free reading please go to 100 Free Readings and sign up. Simple as that! I've been really thrilled at the response so far and so thankful for the wonderful feedback. :-)
Love, light and putting your phone down!

It's Caturday at last! I don't know about you guys but this has been a crazy week for me! I've been e x h a u s t e d! No matter how much sleep I got, or how much time I had I just seemed to be kind of done this week.
But the King of Swords is telling us that we have the power! We can do whatever we want today! If you want to just sit and finally finish that book you've been reading for weeks (Hello Clockwork Prince!), or if you want to get cracking on some of those projects you're up to, or even if you want to veg out and watch Sorority Girls on iPlayer (OMG why am I so obsessed with that show when it's SO BAD?), or even if you want to go out on a date with someone your friends are telling you is so bad for you - screw what everyone else thinks about how you spend your time - you are the King of Swords dammit! Do whatever you want! (Within reason right? Like if that guy is bad for you don't get into a silly situation!)
Remember this Caturday that the power is within you!
And make sure to check out my Free Readings page if you are looking for a reading!
Love, light and kitty power!

Happy #Caturday!
Today we see the seven of wands reversed - you dropped your stick! Argh! But never mind because it looks like everyone you've been fighting against has dropped a stick as well. Time for a ceasefire perhaps? Whatever you've been fighting against this week - work, relationship issues, money stuff, whatever it is, let it go and let God! OK that phrase sounds so lame. Sometimes you can't just 'let God', you have to take matters into your own hands! It kind of looks like we've been doing that all week though.
Today the fight is pointless, but whatever you decide to do tomorrow is up to you! You might be refreshed and ready to take up your stick again and carry on, or you might decide it's totally not worth it and go and do something else, but today, take a rest.
You can't fight without a stick anyway, so you might as well go and watch a movie or read a book or play with your cat.
And here's a little opalite to help you chill out today too.
Love, light and letting go,

The Three of Cups is a super fun Saturday Caturday card! Three lady cats are having the best time ever drinking and dancing; you don't need to have read all the books on Tarot (although you should read Dusty White's The Easiest Way to Learn the Tarot Ever if I may recommend!) to work out what this card is saying to us today.
Good company, fun times. And if you don't have any money you can drink plain old water with your friends. And if you don't have any friends you can have a glass of your drink of choice on your own and maybe find some fun people online to connect with. I always respond to comments too! :-)
Love, light and Saturday fun!

This is a cat who, when upright is pretty confident, expects everything and everyone to come to him (probably because they usually do!) and has the potential to be kind of a smug jerk. Ouch! But reversed he's falling off his horse and kind of dropping the ball!
A reminder today - stand up for yourself and don't drop the ball!
Love, light and confident cats, x
