De-cluttering, To-do lists & Revenge - The Weekly Tarot Reading - 26th January to 1st February

The weekly reading this week is coming to you via the Housewives Tarot this week. It's a fun quirky deck with a hipster retro vibe and some of the images are pretty hilarious. I haven't done a deck review of it yet, but I can if you want!

Can you even believe this weekly reading will be going into February already?!! Doesn't it just seem like only a couple of weeks ago we were embarking on this 2015 thing?! Speaking of 2015, if you would like to grab a 2015 reading with me they are running out the door and because it's nearly Feb I'm also including a 33% off discount code and a FREE three card reading for you to redeem at any point in the next six months! OMG! Check it out here. There's also a discount and free reading with the £10 version of the reading although the bargain is better with the 30 & 60 minute versions!

Enough with the promos, this is meant to be your free weekly guidance!

Start of the week - Justice

This week be really careful of dishing out 'justice', especially when you don't know all the facts. This could come in any form - berating the kids even when they said they didn't do it, getting pissed at your partner and 'forgetting' to buy his favourite snacks at the supermarket, hating on your work colleagues and switching the sugar and the salt, or God forbid - getting mad at yourself for doing, or not doing something you wanted to get done early this week. You don't have to let people walk over you or take crap, but put things in perspective and do try to see things from the other person's point of view before you start confiscating their lollipops.

Middle of the week - Nine of Pentacles reversed

Upright this nine of pents looks totally content. All her dishes are clean, dry and sparkling! Fab! Reversed though, these dishes are staying dirty. Why are your dishes grimy today? Are you too busy to stack the dishwasher, I mean really? Today is a day to spend a few minutes at least tidying, cleaning or de-cluttering. Remember that Feng Shui thing about de-cluttering?! The more crap you have lying around the less energy can flow and the less energy can flow the less energy you get, especially when we're talking abundance baby! Tidy up your crap and attract cash! Yeeeew!

End of the week - Ten of Wands

Here we see this housewife seriously struggling with her brooms and mops. She just has waaaaaaay too many cleaning tasks on the go right now and she's either going to have to put them all down and take a break, or start sorting them out slooooowly if she wants to really get anywhere...

Anyone feeling overwhelm this week? I have to admit I'm kind of freaking out - it's FEBRUARY and I'm already way behind schedule. I wanted to be sending out my newsletters this week, and giving my blog a make-over and like a gazillion other things.

When we get freaked out we have three choices - just like this chic with her brooms and mops. We can either

<3 Freak the hell out and bash the brooms around swearing and getting pissed at anyone who comes close to us and really getting nowher

<3 Put down the brooms and walk away. Take some time out from your list of things to do. Those brooms will be there tomorrow.

or

<3 Organise your brooms and mops one at a time. Know it's going to take time, but you can get through this list of seemingly neverending things to do.

Think before you seek revenge, do some de-cluttering and face your to-do list one thing at a time and you'll have a brilliant shiny week so clean you could eat your dinner off it!

<3 Love, light and dishwashing tabs <3

Molly Weasley - Queen of Wands

These damn Tarot court cards can be so confusing! What's up with just people just standing there or siting in a chair? How the hell does that help me when it comes up in a reading?! Never fear tarot enthusiasts! Vix from New Age Hipster is here to solve all your tarot card meanings problems - in particular those darn court cards - by doing some simple Tarot/Pop Culture mash-ups!

And today in Pop Culture Tarot - Mrs Weasley as the Queen of Wands!

Everyone loves Molly Weasley. She's the coolest Mum around, and if you don't have a Mum around for whatever reason (Muggle/killed by Voldemort etc.) she'll happily take you in and bake you a bunch of banana muffins. She's warm and sweet and kind, but if you cross her or keep the flying car out too late - WOAH Nellie! - you'll be seeing her flashing around her Elemental fire balls like Wowzah! But then like two seconds later she'll make you a tea.

The Queen of Wands is the Elemental Queen - Elemental as in Fairies. The elementals are fiery, red headed, passionate creatures who live in a world of animals, nature and all that is wholesome. Think fairy houses, tiny doors in century old trees and oh, hey, The Burrow! They don't dig fast paced city life, concrete sky scrapers or fancy Asian fusion restaurants. Give them a pie and a hug and they're as happy as Larry.

Now you might be getting confused at this point - isn't Pentacles the Earth suit? Well, er, yes, technically, but Wands is the Fire suit! It's all about action, adventure, passion and not sitting around on your butt but no matter how comfy your hand knitted throw cushions are, if someone you love is in danger to hell with the muffins! Wands people grab the closest broomstick and beat the bad guy down! Fire spreads through Earth like... well, fire. While the Earth signs are solid, earthy and dependable, these Wands women will bake the best cake at the Hogwarts fair and tomorrow - save you from certain death! And do you know why? Because the Queen of Wands bloody well cares. She cares about nature, animals, family and she cares about those people in the world who are good, and she'll fight for what's right and good while other queens sit on their thrones delegating, making decisions or sending their boys to war. Not this Queen, she's out on the front line, protecting the realm of her Wands people.

Uh, OK, so every time you see the Queen of Wands are you going to read it as Mrs Weasley's coming over for tea? Not exactly, but you are going to have a pretty darn good idea of the archetype and what this card represents. All you need to do when the Queen of Wands pops up in your Tarot spread is think of Molly Weasley.

Queen of Wands/Mrs Weasley cheat sheet:

<3 loyal <3 warm <3 honest <3 family oriented <3 fiery <3 passionate <3 loving <3 loves nature and animals <3 keeps a cosy home <3 adopts children officially or unofficially <3 shouts a lot, but is never mean <3 has a temper! <3 looks like a fairy <3 possible red hair <3 fiery eyes! <3 bakes cookies <3 beats down baddies

So now you're probably thinking about of a bunch of people you know that could be a Queen of Wands type; your Mum, your cool boss at work, yourself, but what about the dreaded 'court card as a situation/outcome' meaning? OK - so you pull the Molly Weasley card when you're thinking about travelling - YES, buy your ticket! You pick the Molly Weasley card when you ask about a relationship - hrm, maybe stop throwing those fireballs huh?! The Molly Weasley card appears when you're asking about work stuff - hello, follow your passion! Doing a spread about your life purpose - easy peasy; the animals and the environment need you, get a job you believe in. Get it?!

Reversed I read her as too fiery or she's lost her passion. Totally unbalanced and unstable. Streaks of meanness may be present in a reversed Queen of Wands, or else she can sometimes be so busy looking after everyone in the end she forgets to look after herself and burns out.

Now you're cooking with gas! You'll never go blank on your Queen of Wands again!

Love, light and trouble-free tarot!

The week ahead - We are the world

I don't know about you, but I've been feeling a deep sadness about the world this last week. The plane crash in the Ukraine, the events taking place in Israel, children dying of cancer... the world is a dark place at times and it's feeling very heavy right now.

I had a little trouble pulling a card this week. I pulled The World card for us this week from my new Housewives Tarot deck, then put it back, pulled a couple that didn't feel right and then pulled The World again. Perhaps at first glance I didn't want to have to write about something so full on so I tried to avoid it. But that's the thing about tarot, and life too, you can't just avoid the things you don't want to deal with.

This week I feel we are being guided to think about 'The World'. The imagery here shows a very closed minded view of the world, a bubble, the parts of the world that affect us directly in our everyday lives. What are we having for dinner? What's the earliest we can leave work so we don't get stuck in traffic? How many days until the weekend? We often get so caught up in ourselves and our world bubble around us that we don't always think about the fact that our home isn't just our flat, or our house with the white picket fence. The whole planet is our home.

OK I'm getting way too emo, but I really think this week is a good time to meditate (whatever that means to you!) on the world, and that we are, quite literally it. We can sit around and moan about the state of things, but we are the state of things. We are the world.

I don't want anyone to fall into a pit of despair, after all there is so much beauty here on Earth and so many amazing people who want to share love, joy and happiness and so much to live for, but sometimes I think we need to step out of our bubble and put it all into perspective. But instead of getting frustrated or just ignoring the problems on the planet we need to really think about what we can do to help make the world a better place.

In our everyday lives we need to interact positively, we need to be the light and spread the love and joy to others. But when looking at the big picture it might be a good week to donate whatever you can afford to a charity, watch a documentary and educate ourselves, send some positive vibes to the parts of the world that need it most, or even just have a good cry and release some of this pent up frustration that so many of us have been feeling lately.

I like to think that my blog is a really happy positive lighthearted kind of place, so I'm sorry to go on a downer today.

But that's the world.

Love, light and healing tears,
