Tarot Card of the Month: February 2026, The Fool

 

As the new year finally kicks in and we are over the silly season, February gets right down to business.

New beginnings, new opportunities, fun and spontaneity are highlighted. In this card we see a bright sunny sky takes up most of the card, but don't let that fool you. The sun being a great luminary shines the light on everything including deceptions so pay attention. 

The young man in the card is seen wandering aimlessly with his head in the clouds daydreaming. At his heel his dog is barking to warn him of clear and present danger in front of him. In his mind the young man is thinking, how great am I. Not for much longer if he doesn't snap out of it and heed the warning of the cliff edge in front of him, one more step and it's goodnight Gracie. Naivety is something to avoid for February if one know what's good for one. 

This is a warning to world leaders to think first and act later, heed the warning and read the signs because they are well lit up for all to see. There is no excuse for stupidity, naivety or the ego. Lives are at stake here and arrogance is unbecoming in any world leader, politician or anyone in authority. Solid foundations we do not have as the sands keep shifting. 

Greenland is one headache that could be avoided if this gets out of hand this cannot be undone. I feel that in his need for power; President Trump may seriously damage US relations with Europe and NATO for a very long time or beyond repair. There is without a doubt a rift open between the US and Europe, and the US will be on their own politically. Warnings ignored and friendships suspended over greed for mineral resources. This does not align with long term loyal allies, it's America first baby and sod everyone else. This is not the fault of ordinary American citizens, as we all know the general public of any nation never get any real say in their own lives when it comes to politics. We must not be antagonistic towards each other, live and let live. 

Iran shall still be on the brink of regime change and to US interests yet again, but this does not help the people of Iran as 1979 repeats itself. But this is a very long history going back to the discovery of oil in Iran and a quest to secure and control the oil at all costs. Regime change is imminent, but this does not change the lives of the Iranian people much, its same horse different jockey. Keep in mind this is a number 1 year and the year of the fire horse so expect Iran to have a new leader soon.  

February is a critical month of illusion and deception, as this is the influence of Neptune, which governs this card. Pisces ruled by Neptune is also the ruler of  half of February too. So we have the tail end of Aquarius/Uranus (sudden and unexpected and often violent/ humanitarian and the freedom urge) and the head of Pisces/Neptune influencing the month too. Think humanitarianism meets the old Jedi mind trick of deception and illusion. Neptune not only covers lying to others but believing your own lies too. 

Petty jealousies, drama and severe weather are also indicated for February. No changes in Gaza or Ukraine.

Infrastructure will also be in the spotlight this month as will the economy, crime and violence, government news (this includes military/defence) politics and the CSIRO in AUstralia, mainly to do with agriculture. 

Mr Albanese will feel the sands shifting under his feet, as he faces more criticism due to his poor leadership and inaction in critical decision making. He must learn to listen more and take advice from those that know better than him. It's a poor leader that fails to listen and take advice and act on that advice.  History will not be kind to Mr Albanese, he would be well advised to take advice on national security, prevention of terrorism, radicalism of any sort, public safety and foreign  interference in Australian politics. 

There is joy and spontaneity indicated; however one must keep one's eyes open and stay alert because one may quite easily fall under the dangerous illusion of safety with this deceptive Neptune (including Pluto and Mars) energy around.   Always factor into any reading/ prediction the fact that Pluto is going to be in Aquarius until 2044. So; the key word is safety and especially around water and travelling, particularly overseas travel. Pay attention to  travel warnings because they are not given out lightly.

We all know the world is a very dangerous place right now, so use your brains and heed the warnings. Your irresponsible actions don't just affect you, they affect those around and close to you. They also affect a person trying to rescue you, especially in a life threatening situation that could have been avoided. That rescuer has a life and a family to that is affected by the flow on effects of your actions.

So please think about that, people must stop having an entitled attitude of I can go wherever I want to. That comes from a position of ego. Remember this phrase, Test the assumption, then take not of the results. 

Water and ice cold conditions in the northern hemisphere, take extra care due to the high risk of accidents and adverse weather conditions.

People need to keep their emotions under control and avoid conflict this month. There is an upsurge in people consulting astrologers and psychics, wanting assurance of safety and worrying about the future.

The element of air is inspiring thinking and deep reflection, meditation is highly beneficial here. Especially for grounding and connecting to others. Keep focus on humanitarianism, but please be aware that there are others with political agendas and political ideologies that are interfering here for evil agendas. Be very mindful of deception being used as a spiritual weapon of mass illusion and deception, which is governed by Neptune/ Pisces (rules spirituality and religion). This is not in humanities interest one bit, it is only for political indoctrination and control of your mind. Neptune is also the ruler of liars and deceivers, spirituality has no place in politics or ideologies. 

Please stay safe and look after yourselves and loved ones including your fur babies.

Warm and fuzzy hugs

Alex

  

 

   

Crystals and essential oils for protection

 A lot of people feel the need right now for spiritual protection but may not know how to go about it. Most importantly setting boundaries around themselves and their homes to ward off negative energy from toxic people or from psychic attacks and energy vampires is a must do. 

There are plenty crystals, herbs and essential oils that can be used to evoke positive energies, block negative energies and even assist in unblocking your chakras. 

With crystals, to start with I recommend buying a one or two large (10 to 14 cm in diameter) selenite charging plates, especially if like me you have a lot of crystals.These are used to cleanse and recharge crystals. Selenite is a high power crystal which is self cleaning and never needs to be charged. There are cautions though, never allow it to get wet or it will be damaged permanently. This is a soft crystal of only 2 on the  Mohs scale, so handle with care. Pick a room to keep your selenite charging plates and leave them there. Put your crystals on the plate to clean and reenergise them, which can be from 3 hours up to 24 hours. This includes crystal jewellery such as rings, pendants, bracelets earrings, chip necklaces and bracelets. 

Some people say don’t put hematite on the selenite though or you can lose the energy of the hematite, it’s best to charge in the moonlight. There are a few conflicting recommendations as to the right way to charge or clean hematite, so you will need to work that out for yourself. When unsure google what crystals should and should not be cleansed or changed in whatever manner. There are variations and some people have strong opinions on the subject. Don’t trust AI overview either because it can and does contradict itself often. 

Kyanite and Citrine never need cleaning or charging either. Soft crystals can be smudged with Sage, Palo Santo or Cedarwood incense sticks. Generally you only need to smudge these crystals for 30 to 60 seconds if you do smudge them. 

Never put opposing crystals together on a charging plate either, calming crystals versus energising crystals is not a good mix and you can lose the powerful energy from your crystals. Angelite must never get wet either or it can dissolve like selenite and hematite. Keep them away from your kitchen and bathroom. 

Essential oils for protecting and cleansing 

The following help you with setting boundaries, learn to say No, But you must learn to change the subject if it’s triggering or highly sensitive. Keep away from people who are chronically complaining too as they will drain your energy and bring you down. 

Thyme, Juniper, Palo Santo, Cedarwood, Tee Tree, Laurel Leaf, Blood Orange.

Other oils and herbs are, Lavender, Rosemary, Frankincense, Lemon, Eucalyptus, Bergamot, Ylang Ylang.

Rosemary clears and shields, Frankincense and Tee Tree clean and protect, and good old Eucalyptus cleans and uplifts. By the way Australian Aboriginal peoples use Eucalyptus leaves for smudging or smoking ceremonies to ward off evil spirits and cleanse the environment for spiritual purposes and protection. 

Do look up the spiritual uses for each essential oil online to work out what ones you need. 

Crystals 

Black Obsidian (used for shielding), Selenite towers and generators (purification and protection, improves intuition, clears blocked energy), Amethyst (psychic protection), Lapis Lazuli (opening the third eye, stimulating the higher mind, ) Angelite (calming, boosting psychic abilities, enhancing spirit communication, activates the third eye, throat chakra and crown chakra), Black Tourmaline(repels negative energy) Lepidolite( ),  Rose Quartz ( healing, loving energy , ) Smokey Quartz (grounding, helps with fear, anxiety, cleansing and protection), Shungite(protection, grounding, purification, emotional stability), Moonstone. (Improves intuition and psychic abilities, clairvoyance), Aventurine ( helps the thymus gland, the nervous system, mental clarity)Black Onyx (releases blocked energy and removes toxic energy) 

Meditation (grounding, gold, white light protection) 

This is very important and I can’t stress this enough, simple and effective meditation exercises that only take minutes to do. Setting the intention is number one, not just with the meditation but with the crystals cleansing and charging or energising, the use of herbs for smudging AKA smoking and the essential oil uses. These all must have sincere intentions, your thoughts are powerful and must be taken seriously when working with these tools. Otherwise you are wasting your time, and if someone is actually directing negative thoughts as in a psychic attack at you, then you need to be able to stop them in their tracks quickly. 

Sometimes you may need to do a thorough smudging throughout your house or even your body to remove heavy energy. There  are also space clearing essences available to mist yourself and your house. I prefer the Australian Bush Flower Essence , Space Clearing Essence.  Occasionally a house may need both smudging and a space clearing essences. That would be highly recommended if you move into a rental property, giving you a nice fresh start in your new home. You need to open up the windows and doors if you are smudging the house because it is very smoky. 

New comers to this area will realise there is a lot to learn about energy clearing and reenergising. When smudging for instance, you need a dish or a good sized Abalone shell to use your smudge stick. Some people put a layer of sand in the shell to extinguish the smudge stick, others prefer salt, especially Himalayan salt or Sea Salt rocks. I use Sea Salt rocks. Then an Eagle feather to waft the smoke around the body and aura to cleanse and protect. The same is done in a house or building, going room to room and going around the corners, windows and doors. Not forgetting mirrors, tv screens and computer monitors. 

For energy or spiritual protection such as putting up a defensive shield around yourself or your loved ones, this is a meditation. Which is best to start with gold light protection around your entire body and aura. You may also want to gold light your home, a room, your car, your workplace. Again it’s by intention that makes this work, this is energy in motion and is thought reactive. You don’t need to be physically present in the area that you are gold lighting because you are working with thought forms. You visualise the place you want to protect and do the meditation exercise. Spiritual or psychic protection has been around for thousands of years around the world. Different cultures have their own methods, but you need to pick what resonates with you. 

After this you must ground yourself, the golden grounding cord meditation (which is a yoga practice) is first,  followed by going down your chakras and grounding, I do this daily. If you are doing any spiritual activity you should gold light the room before and after meditation to close down the room or you can attract unwanted energy or entities. 

Next pick the crystals that you want to use and buy from a reputable dealer. Cleanse and energise them as soon as you get them and sit them where you need them. Heavy energy from absorbing negative energies means you must clean the crystals regularly, such as doing energy work which may be daily. If they are for occasional use then maybe monthly charging. Learn what crystals do and how to care for them. Not all crystals can be in sunlight or near salt, salty water or water as they can be damaged. Some crystals do not like smudging either, so some people do sound baths using Tibetan Singing Bowls. The energy from the bowls penetrates the crystals. 

Towers and generators are probably something that you should consider especially selenite and black tourmaline towers for protecting the energy in a room, you can place them in your bedroom, lounge room or office. It all depends on what you use them for. To keep the energy positive it’s a good idea to place one or two in your lounge room or family room along with rose quartz and amethyst geodes, you don’t need huge geodes though. Just something that you can lift and move easily, placing selenite next to it helps to clean and energise your amethyst. 

Some people like to make an energy grid using black tourmaline in the corners of a room and place a selenite tower in the middle of the room to counter negative energy. Again this depends on your lifestyle and what your intention is. Beneficial plants can be incorporated into your home to promote positive energies too. Some ideas are Ribbon or Spider plants, Pothos, Ivy leaf geraniums with the rose fragrance, Jade, Peace Lilies, Aloe Vera, Mother in Law’s Tongue. Most plants are highly beneficial although spiky plants are not usually used as they are a no-no in Feng Shui practices.  

The idea is to have a happy, healthy and peaceful environment and restful sleep at night. Thyme is also said to be put under the pillow to stop nightmares. 

As for wearing crystals there are many to choose from and their purposes. Wearing them on your left hand side or right hand side. This is to do with defending or receiving energy coming in to you or leaving you. The left hand is receiving energy and here one must be careful, is it negative energy sent to you or healing energy? This is the feminine and passive side of the body or Ying energy. 

Your right hand is the giving or Yang/male energy. If you are returning negative energies back to someone then you can put a Selenite and Black Tourmaline bracelet on your left wrist to protect yourself. You are sending the negative energy away from you. On the right wrist the same bracelet is taking in protective and cleansing energy if that is the intention you have set. An Amethyst bracelet on your left wrist helps open up your psychic powers, a Rose Quartz bracelet will help bring more loving and healing energy into your body. You need to shop by intent of purpose when choosing your crystal jewellery as well as the crystals you choose for your home. The standard crystals people buy are Clear Quartz, Amethyst, Rose Quartz and Smoky Quartz. But again there are many to choose from and they have multiple purposes. 

Some people like myself can hold their hand over a crystal and feel the energy coming from it. This is a way to work out which one you are attracted to. Sometimes you will automatically feel a strong pull to a particular crystal without knowing why. Trust that feeling because that is your body telling you that you need that crystal in particular.

GOLD LIGHT SOMEONE 

https://psychictarotreadingwithalexfulford.blogspot.com/2021/02/how-to-gold-light-someone.html

I do recommend buying The Crystal Bible by Judy Hall. Both volume 1 and 2mfor a basic go to book but also google the spiritual purpose of each crystal that you are interested in as there is so much information out there from various sources. Most importantly enjoy your crystals and attune to their energy. 

A link to places that I buy crystals from, you will find some good deals on these websites.

Wes Penre: Q and A Session 1 2026

 https://wespenrevideos.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/Q-A-Session-1%5EJ-2026.pdf

The first Wes Penre Q and a for the year, and important if you are new to his work. 

Personally, I don’t watch these spiritual videos, and I am always skeptical of others, due to having seen some operators that leave a lot to be desired. I do my own thing as there so much garbage out there. What both Wes and this man Bashar do not mention is; when humans are incarcerated in physical bodies we are dead spiritually. This is a realm of death, it doesn’t get any lower than the third dimension other than the demonic second dimension or realm! We are cut off from pure source or pure spirit because this dimension is so heavy and dense. 

Those Ascended masters are archons, they do not have our best interests at heart as Wes often reminds us. Those humans that do supposedly end up working with these beings must follow the rules set out, yet the overlords break the rules constantly as Wes has often pointed out too. Do these ascended humans ever question what they are told? We have no real answers to that, and we know very little of what is happening in the spirit world because there are blocks in place to prevent us knowing. We get fed information to suit the agenda only. 

Not one spirit being or any being from the non physical world has ever seen god, nor do they know what he is or isn’t. There are many illusions, deceptions and manipulations going on that we are very confused and conflicted. What benevolent beings deliberately sow such deceptive and manipulative information? Believe me I have been involved with spiritual matters for many years, including childhood experiences, as mentioned on this blog. 

I also feel that a person or spirit who is inherently good is always good, however when they are in our world there are influences that do affect these individuals and depending on the individual’s astrology chart there are planets, asteroids etc as well as the aspects of their chart that affect the person’s thinking and actions. But with a strong sense of doing what is right they will generally live a good honest life with the odd little things that may be naughty.

One’s birth number and time of birth also affects these individuals individual as does their parents charts. There is so much that is packed into every single person on this earth that can literally make or break you. 

Karma, for a start is an artificial construct designed to enslave humanity so that we never get out of the spiritual debt. It’s fake 100% and I refuse to accept this BS. This is a world of lies and deception designed to harvest our spiritual energy or loosh. Most people are totally unaware of this and if they follow a religion or even atheist coming from a scientific mindset there is no way these people will ever entertain the possibility. Best thing to do is always be honest, tell the truth and shame the devil and you can't go wrong.

The golden grounding cord meditation mentioned is a good grounding technique, which I do every day along with gold lighting myself. Spiritual protection should never be underestimated.

Spend your time with those that that nourish and support you

You don’t need to be around people constantly, know that it’s ok to be alone, it’s ok to be you and not having to compromise who you are. Sometimes we must protect our energy from toxic people. 

Sometimes we just don’t fit in, but ask yourself do you need or really want to fit in with those that disrespect or ignore you?  What are you really getting from that group or society? If it causes pain then it’s not good or right for you. Walk away and find your own path. Yes, it may be quite, it may be lonely but, you are protecting yourself and your energy. There are other ways to find happiness and fulfilment. 

Fulfilment doesn’t always mean being popular. Happiness comes from within and not from the environment around you. Speak to your heart and ask your higher self to guide you to  achieve that happiness within. 

Spend time with animals and nature to learn inner calm. 

Know that your thoughts and feelings are valid and not to be traded to be accepted. 

Alex's 20th Anniversary today

Wow, Who would have thunk it, I have been reading the tarot for exactly 20 years today. I had no idea all those years ago when my first client came to see me, that this would turn out to be such a fantastic journey for me. I have read for some truly amazing people globally over all those years; and helped many on life's often difficult journey. 

I would humbly like to thank every single person that has chosen me to read their cards. It is a very personal thing to allow a stranger to look into your private life. The reader must have respect and great sensitivity when conducting a reading assuring absolute confidentiality. I am forever grateful and appreciative of my clients time and willingness to open their lives up to me for a brief  period of time.

I do hope that I have many more years to come and help many more people in my service to humanity.

 Thank you everyone

Easter Island has been a source of fascination since its discovery and with modern technology such as aerial photography and drones we get to see a bigger feel of the landscape and layout of the statues and quarries. An outdoor time capsule unravaged by time and the elements. 

Happy New Year 2026

New Year Laughs 2025/26

 He who laughs last, laughs the longest! Well here we are on the last day of the year so I am squeezing a couple of laughs in at the last moment. I hope everyone has a wonderful New Year and stays safe. 

Know where your loved ones are if they are out celebrating, especially younger ones. They aren’t always going to be sensible, so make sure their phones are fully charged and they have money to get home etc. 

Thank You Everyone

I wish to thank everyone that had readings from me throughout 2025, and in fact the past now 20 years, I thank everyone that has followed my blog and reading my posts, psychic predictions and tarot card of the month. You mean the world to me and I appreciate every moment of your time. I appreciate the fact that people have allowed me the privilege of giving you a reading and clarity where needed. My service is only ever about you; the client and not about me.

Your higher-self guides you to me for a reason that only you can know. My job is to humbly do the best that I can to assist you in your quest for guidance and my service to humanity. You are the ruler of your own destiny and I pray that you find strength, grace and peace for 2026. 

Thank you from my heart to your heart

Lake George hides an earthquake fault zone, and scientists are using your road noise to see it

 https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-12-22/lake-george-earthquake-fault-zone-anu-research-map/106119740

Very interesting information on Canberra region’s Lake George, which is famous as a disappearing lake. 

And haunted too, many people have had scary experiences driving by Lake George. 

I remember an earthquake tremor back in the early 2000’s. I thought it was a truck in the street, as we had a truck driver living up the street from us. I was reading in bed one summer night and I suddenly felt the rumble and never thought anything of it, until my husband came through and asked did I feel the earth tremor. 

Tinsel and Home Alone back in style as TikTok seeks comfort in #90sChristmas

 https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2025/dec/20/tiktok-90s-christmas-trend-tinsel-home-alone

I think most people would reminisce about their childhood Christmas experiences regardless of age or era. Decorations  from their parent’s  or grandparents homes are usually treasured memories, and many people may want to recreate that nostalgia. This is a personal thing, I know that I do, I loved my paternal grandmother’s Christmas decorations and the 1950’s and 60’s fairy lights that came in all sorts of different colours styles and each bulb was different. There was always the testing of the fairy lights every year too, and without fail one or two would have burned out. 

Then it was a rush to the shops to get replacements. Just one light bulb not working would cause the set of lights not to light up. There were Santa faces, churches, reindeers, bud shaped bulbs of various colours, swirl styles and much more. I loved these bulbs as they were so colourful and varied in style. The lit up the lounge room window which looked great from the street at nighttime. 

The wall decorations are not so good nowadays as the quality has diminished as well as the length of the decorations. Original store bought decorations were a colourful tissue paper type in a honeycomb design, that stretched across the room. They lasted much longer than the foil decorations. The individual paper ones such as bells , Santa, snowmen or stars were two or three times the size of that is in the shops today. Unless you were a child prior to 1980, you may not have seen these particular types. You can of course see them in vintage style magazines and antique magazines that show old photos of the old days. 

When I was getting married I came across some glass ornaments similar to some of my grandmother’s and just had to buy them. That was back in 1988, lol, back in the day when we actually had quality products, and I still have them to this day too. I also have a few from my parents and my husband’s parents. 

I must admit that I love the old Home Alone 1 and 2 movies and watch them every Christmas. Not to forget the Muppets Christmas Carol and Miracle on 34th Street. I even have DVD’s of the original Frosty the Snowman, Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer and old Christmas cartoons from the 1930’s. I still listen to the original Christmas music by Bing Crosby, Frank Sinatra etc. These were a staple of my childhood Christmas memories and I introduced them to my children. I loved the old style fairy light bulbs and the smell of cigars at Christmas too, especially in Scottish winters as the air was cold and the aroma hung in the air. 

There is a special warmth from old memories, which are important in human memory and a foundation of our collective belonging and feelings as we grow up. Then we have our own children to share our experiences with as part of their family heritage. I don’t think the times are actually the reason for this resurgence, it’s cyclical and nostalgia. Without any experience from the past we have nothing to form a future no matter what the situation is. Humanity needs a history or past to make a future.

https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cp398e49egpo

If you feel happy with what you do to celebrate Christmas then go with it, this is yours to enjoy and not to follow what is trendy. It’s not for others to tell you what to do. 

How it all started, Die Hard became a Christmas movie

 Let the official Christmas humour begin 🎄🎄☃️⛄️❄️🤣🤣🤣

I am sure the late Alan Rickman would get a laugh out of this one. 

‘She was like a deer in headlights’: how unskilled radical birthkeepers took hold in Canada

 https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/dec/19/she-was-like-a-deer-in-headlights-how-unskilled-radical-birthkeepers-took-hold-in-canada

I am absolutely flabbergasted at this free birthing movement. These women are hell bent on going against the proper health and safety standards, putting their own lives at risk as well as their babies lives at risk. Many women have problems during pregnancy and have life threatening complications for themselves and their babies. How are they going to prevent eclampsia, an umbilical cord around the baby’s neck, no foetal heartbeat, foetal disease, lack of oxygen or blood supply to the baby, detect a detached placenta or anything life threatening to mother and baby? 

 My body just can’t handle pregnancy from the first trimester to birth. My first pregnancy there was a problem with the placenta and I nearly lost my second baby twice. My babies had to be induced and medical intervention because my body can’t go into labor, both births were between 41 and 41.5 weeks.  My third pregnancy lasted 13 weeks, so each pregnancy got harder and harder to sustain. 

Who accepts the ultimate responsibility of the deaths of these poor little babies? Ladies please be very careful with your choices in health care it’s not just your body that you’re responsible for, it’s your baby and what comes after the birth. Hopefully a healthy baby that is free from health disorders, especially preventable ones. You will be the one looking after a disabled child for life if you don’t have proper medical care throughout your pregnancy. 

Pregnancy is not always easy nor perfect whether it is public or private health care or you go into sudden unexpected labor. It’s smart to choose a bonafide medical professional; who is insured and has a good reputation. That said, sometimes the baby arrives unexpectedly and your doctor is not always available for various reasons, but rest assured you will be looked after by a proper medical professional if you’re in a hospital setting. Yes, on the rare occasion something can go wrong, but there are no guarantees in life with anything really. Your safest option is a proper medical doctor and hospital or medical centre with 21 century medical technology and medicine available. 

Thankfully in Australia it is illegal for FB and unregistered midwives. Our midwives are all registered and professional who work within hospitals, clinics and other settings such as your home. 

Unravelling the mystery of the unknown bairn

 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-tayside-central-62961590.amp

This article was published in 2022.

How utterly sickening, and the Church of Scotland has so much to answer to. I never knew this happened to traveller children, I doubt that my parents would have known about it either, because I never heard them mention this abuse of  innocent children's lives. 

It's a heartbreaking story but thankfully the family have some sort of closure. I hope that little boy in spirit is at peace now after his family have the confirmation of this unknown child is their child. It's a long time to wait for some answers but sadly not the boys cause of death or if someone was responsible for his death. 

In Australia Unity is our Strength

 In Australia unity is our strength, division weakens us as a nation and a society. 

We care for each other, we come from many lands, we share our cultures and values.

We work hard and are grateful to live in a country without fear of war and terrorism. 

We still are the lucky country and united we are strong. We the ordinary people,

 are what make the nation strong. 

We are blessed to live in Australia; with our outdoor lifestyle and a laid back way of life.

We mustn't let that change, standing together as one is our strength and solidarity.

Don't ever let that change. 

                                    The Golden Wattle: Reflection and remembrance

Sometimes we just don’t fit in

 Sometimes we just don’t fit in, but ask yourself do you really need or really want to fit in with those that disrespect or ignore you?  What are you really getting from that group or society? If it causes pain then it’s not good or right for you, and it drops your energy. 

Walk away and find your own path. Yes, it may be quiet, it may be lonely but, you are protecting yourself and your energy. 

Know that there are other ways to find happiness and fulfilment. You must make the effort to discover that happiness. 

Tarot Card of the Month: January 2026, The Magician

 

Mastery, Discipline, Mental force, Results

Just like a magic act and a rabbit pulled from a hat, this is January 2026 with a big impact.

Skills pulled together to pull off a master stroke, and something is coming into public consciousness. This could be the proverbial illusion with slight of hand, it has a political, military and business feeling to this master stroke. Pulling together all the elements into something big and far reaching transformation. 

I feel Keir Starmer has involvement here, and this could be in regards to the Ukraine/Russia war but it's far more than that. There is a wider reach to this than realised. There is definitely a distraction involved among this, so keep your eyes on this while; I am doing something with my other hand vibe.

As I look at the rod or wand in the magicians hand I get the feeling of a missile or a nuclear rod. That wand conducts power in the tarot, it's symbolic as well as literal. As you can see it is double terminated to allow the flow of energy from above to below and the magician acts as the conductor of this energy harnessing its power. I feel that something is being transferred as the public are being distracted, and this is not the first time this has happened either.

The card has the number 1 and 2026 is a number 1 year also, so we are talking about a powerful creative force or energy. Dynamic, original, initiative, creative, leadership, power, courage, inventive, self-assured, confident.

Negatively it is domineering and pushy, arrogant, aggressive, impatient, egocentric, self centred or self interest.determined and willful. 

With the energy in this card I feel chemistry or alchemy (The magician could be called an alchemist).

2026 being a transformative year and very important year shaping the world as we know it. January will be full of surprises and sudden changes, but do not believe all that you hear and see because there is trickery about. The magician can turn into the trickster with Mars energy which is forceful. Being the year of the fire horse too this makes it all the more forceful and dramatically powerful.

Looking at the Magician on the card, we see the snake or Ouroboros around his waist. The symbol for everlasting life-force. Here he is using it like a belt and in that sense it separates the top half of the body from the bottom half. In metaphysics this tells me that the spiritual side of him is cut off from the physical body, instead of being brought together in harmony. 

I need to backtrack a little and mention, when I mentioned the rod in the magicians hand, it acts like a lightning rod or conductor as he harnesses the power above him and brings it down into reality. This energy does not just flow through him, it flows through every single human being too because it is spiritual energy and our life force. So we must look at human beings as bio-mechanical, bio-electrical and spiritual beings. That is a trinity, spirit, electricity and fire energy. Which reminds us of the reality of everlasting life in the universe and the multiverse.

I got the number 26 pop into my mind as I was looking at the card, so this could be 26 January.

2026 stars with a bang and we need to stay alert and focused because we will have some shocking news to deal with and a new reality, which will make many of us very nervous and not knowing what to expect next. Deception is the name of the game. Keep your eyes open and listen very carefully, because there is a big con job being played on us again. This is highly political and highly divisive, so who can we trust?

I feel there is very alarming news and disbelief which will keep us reeling with startling results connected to Donald Trump and several others. As I stated in my world predictions for 2026, this is indeed a very fast paced year with action and aggressive mars energy. This is not all war, it's power grabs, politics playing one team against another, and who is the smartest.

Children again feature in January, so please keep an eye on them, look at December in regards to children!! I don't issue these warnings lightly.

Study and education are highlighted for january but not always in a good way. There could be mistakes, miscalculations to do with funding or fees and possible public embarrassment.

India is in the news with students and possible corruption, scandals and illegal activity. 

I feel a young dark haired man standing out for achievement, this is to do with world leaders. Power is in his hands yet there is restricted thinking. He is very intelligent however his views are too narrow. This feels like Keir Starmer, I feel he is the trickster depicted in the card and he is trying to pull the wool over our eyes. Who's side is he really on? Clearly not the British peoples. 

I see assets being carved up and weapons, this feels like poor old Ukraine. What's on the table then?  

Money, weapons and who gets to rule here. We are witnessing the old Jedi mind trick being played. Watch Putin step into the spotlight and put his 2 cents worth in to the mix with his demands. President Trump will roll over backwards to please him. This is the final stage being set , see my last predictions on this war.

Behold someone enters the stage, his tools are openly displayed as he performs his feat, watch his hand action!

I see Iceland is very nervous about Russia, looks like they are the meat in the sandwich. 

Looking back at the card I am drawn to the golden yellow in the background, which symbolises prosperity as well as spirituality. This implies we are entering into a new age of prosperity, however that prosperity is for the very rich and powerful, not us ordinary people.

I hear battle lines are drawn in France, Macron is not a happy camper more like un sac de chats en colere our tu,  (a bag of angry cats to you)  and he will come out swinging. This could be the issues with his wife being bullied online. Macron will also be very vocal about Ukraine, Russia and the EU. Some people are hard to please and hard to understand politically.

On a positive note there is baby joy and news with births in january. I see a blond haired baby boy connected to a public figure. 

Royal blues again in January involving Andrew or prince Edward. Don't be surprised if there is a new grandchild for either of them too. 

Management funds are highlighted so watch out for big job investments too.

Bangladesh flooding and a public outrage.

New talents are also highlighted especially with young people entering the workforce and study. Bright young minds for the future especially in technology and building and construction.

Hmm, looks like a lot going on in January. I sat down to look at my tarot cards yesterday without the intention of doing the card of the month, because my hands are aching with arthritis and I have lost a lot of strength in my hands to do simple tasks. It was the furthest thing from my mind but this just happened unexpectedly. 

Any hoo, warm and fuzzy hugs to everyone

Gutless Trolls

 

If there is one thing I hate it's gutless men!

I have been getting the trolls drop by on facebook from time to time, which doesn't phase me, but this I will not tolerate. Keep your sick minds and prejudices away from my page. I don't care what you think but I don't want scum on my page. I don't do politics or religion either, I don't even have a religion, never have.

Of course I know who and what you are, I am a clairvoyant. But I doubt you have the intelligence to work that out. I see, feel, remote view and can describe you and your personality type. 

For the record I am not even Jewish, I just live in Australia and I am disgusted with brutal savagery especially on innocent human beings regardless of who they are or where they live in this world.

As soon as I posted my screen shot, gutless bastards went in and removed their emojis. Cowards, I have no time for, liars,wimps and emasculated men, I have no time for either. I am a Scottish woman hear me F***ing ROAR!  

Happy Heavenly Anniversary Dad

 Today is two years since my dad passed away. The time has gone by so quickly that it is hard to take in. Time seems to go like lightning since the 1990’s; and when reflecting on a life that was, one comes to realise that everything has a finite amount of time and must come to an end, and how quickly that time really comes. Sometimes it may be hard to process what has happened, sometimes life is going by so fast that the mind just skims the facts and has to keep going. We don’t always get the time to breathe and actually feel the loss and what it feels like. 

Life for my family and I has been a non stop roller coaster of things happening for many years, and I never get the chance to stop and catch my breath. It’s always life in fight or flight mode, and the moment I stop to try to relax, bam, I am hit with another serious situation. As regular readers will know, my husband was gravely ill for many years and had just recovered from surgery as my father started to quickly go down hill. Next thing I know my dad was at the end of his life, of course I could feel this happening without being told by anyone. However that just seems so surreal until the moment his life was over. 

 The last days of my father are something that only he could know at a subconscious level as he was not always conscious or able to communicate with others. I still think about the last hours of his life and not being able to be with him, yet his conscious self was totally unaware of who was present. He was out in astral in reality, just preparing to disengage from this reality so his consciousness would have been processing the end of physical life and attuning to the non physical world. 

Thankfully having a background in the spiritual church he would have been more aware at a spiritual level what was taking place. That makes the transition easier to understand for the person that is dying. 

Two years is still very much just the blink of an eye in what was a human life that is suddenly no longer here in this reality. I ponder what a life really means and how important any of us really are in the big scheme of things. Aware that my eventual death is only a blink in the eye of this reality. My dad was very much like Peter Pan, forever young with a youthful personality, I couldn’t put an actual age to him growing up. Even in old age he was very funny and easy to get along with, we laughed and joked all the time having the same sense of humour. 

                          A wee funny Christmas joke for you dad, I know you would laugh at it 

Ten people, including one shooter, dead after Bondi Beach attack

 https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-12-14/shooter-at-nsw-bondi-beach-sydney-eastern-suburbs/106141572

My thoughts and prayers to all of the victims and their families, this is un-Australian, we don’t want this happening here. It makes me wonder if there was any intelligence on this before this incident happened. Was it preventable? This sort of thing should not be tolerated nor should it be possible for such a thing to happen in our country. Have we learned anything since Port Arthur? 

You will have read by now that the man who very bravely tackled one of the shooters was in fact a Muslim man, he put his life on the line to save others. He did an incredibly brave thing, and was also shot but kept going. We thank him for his courage and unselfish service, he did what he felt was the right thing to do and thankfully lived to tell the tale. 

My Tarot card of the month for December warned of danger, sudden violence and political upheaval, and crime, as well as keeping an eye on children. A 10 year old girl was killed, and a 14 year old girl was shot as she shielded small children from the shooters.

Astrological observations 

The raw power of Pluto in Aquarius in action and today marks a deadly Plutonic window 14 to 17 December. Another Plutonic window happens again on 29 to 31 December. These events are usually violent acts like terrorism and sudden violent situations, breakdown and rebuilding or transformation happens when Pluto is active. 

Credit for these astrological dates goes to US astrologer Dr Louis Turi as he always tries to warn people before the dates of these astrological events occur. 

UPDATE, 15/12/25 6.37 am NSW Police , death toll now 16 and 40 injured

BOOKS: The Man Who Planted Canberra by Robert Maklin

 

This is an interesting book about Charles Weston, the man famous for planting my city. Born in England in 1866. He learned his trade in prestigious horticultural places in England and then came to Australia, firmly setting his place in Australian history. As a gardener, living in Canberra with a love not just of Canberra, but history also, I came across this book recently through a facebook post by the Australian National Library. I promptly placed an order with an online bookstore and I am currently reading this book. 

One can feel the history come to life just reading this book, it helps if one is a local who is interested in our history. The author is originally from Queensland but resides in Canberra, so this gives him a personal feel to his book.

Canberra has a very brief history, yet is important in the history of Australia. This book shows the personalities of those involved in the early planning and their vision of what the city was to become, albeit with some detours along the way. If you are a person that may be interested in Canberra's history this book is a must have to add to your collection. If you are a new resident then this book will provide an interesting background to your current lifestyle. 

Canberra is actually a small city with a population of roughly 500 thousand of a population. We are known as the bush capital. and have a deep affection for our town. We have a love of our wildlife and our beautiful scenery and are keen to protect our heritage. 

RIP Stanley Baxter

Scottish icon Stanley Baxter has died aged 99, this man was a multi talented genius and a living legend in Scotland, loved by everyone. A beautiful man with a heart and incredible talent, it's so unfair and so sad that he lived a tortured life. I would loved to have been his friend to take away his pain.

I recall rushing to the tv as a teenager whenever he was on, even one of his funny adverts for Birdseye. Those adverts were comedy gold back in the day.

       Beautiful and humble man, as we say in Scotland "you have a guid Scots tongue in your head"

Stanley, you gave the world so much to love about you. Allow yourself to accept that love, because you are so worth every bit of it. You earned that love and admiration that we bestow upon you. 

Your talent and your humanity will live on within all of us that love you, and you will never be forgotten. Rest in peace and eternal love Stanley 💖May your light shine bright for all eternity 💖

Summer is here

 Warm lazy mornings, with the sweet smell of summer in the air, the buzzing of insects hovering around flowers. Rays of sunshine illuminate flowers in a garden so fine, dew on the grass because morning has come. Bring on the sunshine to bless the new day. A day to relax and take in the morning’s leisurely pace, no need to rush, let’s lighten the pace. Summer is here and it’s time to relax be you child or adult, sit down in the garden and dream. 

Enjoying the sunshine knowing there’s nothing but time on your hands, to watch nature unfold her beauty for you to behold. Like a magical gift that never repeats, each day is different from the day before. Senses attuned to the presence of the spirit of nature as she graces your soul. As a new flower unfolds, natures gifts are yours to behold. Ladybugs on flowers so delicate, enchanting the senses as they blow with butterflies on the breeze. 

As one drifts off to sleep in the morning sunlight with imagination stirring, one’s mind poetry comes alive. Nature sprites dance with enchanting beauty and beckon you hither, join them in merriment, for the day is anew. Let Mother Nature inspire you to enjoy the blessings of  respite, in the garden knowing that a summer morning is time to relax, no chores to do. So sit down and let summer’s enchantment unfold upon you. 

Autumn

 As summer’s glow begins to fade into a distant light, the warmth of the sun dims at night. As colder nights are drawing in, we snuggle inside our cosy homes, thinking of what tomorrow might bring.

Golden skies and chimney smoke mingle once more, as the winter beckons close.

Goodbye summer flowers and blossoms, hello to golden leaves.

Hello to pleasant walks amongst the autumn leaves. 

Early morning has a nip in the air, just to remind us that autumn is here.

The smell of chimney smoke mingled with childhood memories of long ago. Watching warm breath meet the cold morning air and a nostalgic longing for times long ago. Of laughter and adventure, of long walks home and a warm cup of tea. A warm smiling face to greet us and a feeling of love, to warm our hearts. 

All this and more remind us that Autumn is here. 

Have a wonderful weekend everyone

 Wherever you live in this busy world, have a wonderful weekend and take it easy.
