Cowra Japanese Garden

 This is a place that I have wanted to visit for many year's Cowra is 2 and a half hours north of Canberra and is a very famous historical town on the Lachlan river. There is a cafe for refreshments in the garden which will be greatly appreciated  after a long drive to get there. Oh, and by the way, it’s doggie friendly as long as your fur babies are on a leash.

This is a must visit for anyone coming from overseas or even interstate who has a love of gardens and history. Back in world war 2 there was a Japanese prisoner of war camp near here, where the infamous Cowra breakout occurred on 5th August 1944. The original sight is still there along with the graveyard. 

This was the largest  POW prison breakout in world war 2 according to the Wikipedia article. With 1,104 soldiers breaching the wire fence. The link below informs us of the events that took place, and cemented this in Australian history ever since.

I recall watching the tv mini series of this, it was such a sad story, and terrible time in human history. 

The Japanese garden is a place to reflect and heal the past, in 5 hectares of park land, in which the Japanese government also helps to preserve. This is absolutely a must see beautiful garden design by the famous Japanese landscape architect Ken Nakajima. 

This is the Wikipedia entry for the town of Cowra for up to date information on the town of Cowra, NSW.

You can see some beautiful photos of the Japanese garden on Instagram  and facebook. But nothing beats seeing the garden in person. 

Tarot Card of the Month: June 2026, The Magician

 


Zodiac Signs: Gemini and Virgo      Element: Air

Planet: Mercury

Action, Power, Conscious awareness, Success

Number 1 originality, the beginning of something, birth of something, beginning, the self, life force, ego

The Full Moon falls on 29/6/26 at 21.12 pm  the New Moon falls on 15/6/26

Mercury is retrograde on 29/6/26

Pluto is retrograde on 6/6/26

The above planetary cycles are taken from The American Ephemeris for the 21st Century 2000 to 2050.

The month of June is charged with energy; electrical and spiritual energy. It is an interesting month involving serious discussions and situations globally. A bringing together of forces so to speak, which is constructive, business like and involves big business and trade.

Everything is on the table, however there is slight of hand going on at the table too. People may think they are getting a good deal, but they definitely are not. A shuffle is going on, so pay attention all you leaders, movers and shakers and you too ordinary people. The public are being kept out of the loop here too. (Pluto). Someone is playing top dog here, and everything has to benefit him, (Mr Trump). This card shows he has a restricted  yet intense thought process. Using illusion to get what he wants, while he is creative and original, he is playing deceptive at the same time. Think the shell and pea game here, I am hearing the "Darwin Shuffle "which can allude to a tax avoidance or an actual card game. 

As I look at the face of the Magician, he looks crafty, with one eye closed or is he winking?  Is he performing a magic trick or a magic ritual? This is  youthful cunning in action, the card is ruled by Mercury (communication travel and movement, written, spoken and typed word) Gemini and Virgo (service to others, health, analysis). The Number of the card is 1, for original, new beginnings, life force, driving power, intensity, the highest power is evoked, the ego.   This energy can be used for both good and bad. 

Powerful male energy is indicated here and of course we are in a number 1 year of the fire horse, so that intensifies this energy. Notice the wand in the Magician's hand, that is not just a conductor of energy it is a phallic symbol too, implying male creative and dominant energy is being used. Next we see the lemniscate or infinity symbol above the head , apart from symbolizing the ever lasting life force, death and rebirth, it is also symbolic of testicles. Looking at the objects on the table, there are two more such symbols the wand which represents thought, it too is a phallic symbol. Then the sword which is penetrative, and gets to the point. The actual RWS tarot deck is full of such symbolism, and once seen cannot be unseen. First and foremost though; this symbolism is about power so keep that in mind. 

Now on with the June TCOM, June will have interesting results, breakthroughs of different kinds including scientific, technology, military, medicine etc. The main thrust for June is power with quick and dramatic action which can be extremely forceful. 

As the card energy is a number 1 vibration and Mercury, it implies the beginning of action, communication, (the written, spoken, texted, emailed word)  movement, travel, law, authority, intellect and concentrating on the spoken word.

Uranus is involved here too, which is the planet of revolution (if you look at the edge of the table on the far right hand side you can see the energy waves of the sign Aquarius which is ruled by Uranus and the 11th house). Uranus rules revolution, science, technology, inventions, sudden and unexpected happenings, earthquakes, aircrafts, natural disasters, dictatorships, utopian causes. Water and Air elements are involved here

Expect travel issues, transport issues to be problematic this month and also include long distance travel or overseas travel. Not just Mercury going retrograde for three weeks from the 29th and into July, but Pluto is retrograde too from the 6th of June and that adds more pain and suffering. Pluto is notorious for things coming back to the surface; thoughts, heavy emotional turbulence. It is a transformative energy and can be used to resolve issues too, so please be aware of anything that may be triggering and take steps to deal with it in a more positive way. Pluto also covers power struggles and control issues, this is not good for world affairs or on personal levels including relationships or in your work environment. 

Being a number 1 card the Magician symbolises new beginnings and concentrating effort to get results. This will build momentum over the next 2 or 3 months depending on the issues involved, especially in global affairs, money, travel, power and conflict. Ideologies developing and or expanding are indicated too. There could be enemies joining forces against a common enemy creating a bigger combined force, to bring about an end of a grip on control and break a deadlock. This could be involving the ongoing issue with Iran and the Hormuz Straight, as many nations are affected and it is affecting global economies. So clearly something has to be done.

This could be other Arab nations teaming up with Western nations all working in unison to bring about an end to this deadlock over the Hormuz shipping crisis. We are definitely looking at the beginning of an end cycle (8th house/Scorpio/ Pluto transformation)  on both a global and national level.

The two main nations this month seem to be the US and Iran, negotiations for peace being the crux of the matter, deals to be struck or more like attempts being  made but not successful. Both parties attempt to come to the table, laying down their weapons. Look closer at the card and you will see the sword on the table is closest the the magician than the want is. That's not a good thing, because he is more inclined to grab the sharp pointy thing rather than the wand which is more thinking and transformative in its power. Wands, as we know are a stabalising force using our thinking faculties to negotiate positively, and that is the furthest tool away from the magician's hand. 

Summing things up we can see logical thinking is the furthest thing away and influenced by Pluto being in retrograde for 10 days of the month. Hopefully they can choose a better time to work things through in the near future. However Mercury turns retrograde on 29th of June for three weeks, that does not help matters one bit. So do not expect any rational results the ego's on both sides will be somewhat touchy and trying to appear stronger and more powerful making out that they are in total control of the situation, and neither side wishes to appear weak. It's a boy thing! 

For the month of June, there is a need for concentrated efforts in all matters of state, politics, education, transport, travel and children's welfare and safety. People are seeking reassurance in all aspects of daily life and are genuinely concerned for safety due to social decline and decay. No government is actually stepping up to address these concerns effectively. 

As we can see June is all about the thought process and action. The Magician card is a broad spectrum card as it covers all aspects of human life at present time. There are both positives and negatives here depending on the individuals circumstances, and how they respond to  stimuli at any given time.

Please be mindful of your thought process and responses this month, using positive thinking we can negotiate this month's challenges, rather than going berserk and dealing with unwanted trauma as a result. Be very careful how you respond to others in conversation or reacting to their actions because things can escalate very quickly in the worst direction. 

Unfortunately a small percentage of people do react quickly and angrily to any situation; so it is best to avoid such people, especially if they are drug or alcohol affected if possible or things will turn violent quickly. 

Looking at the magician's clothing we see he is wearing a white tunic, which stands for purity, neutrality, peace, and spirituality. But he is wearing a red cloak over the top of the tunic, red is symbolic of life force, blood, anger, male energy, passion; as in passionate belief systems. It is over shadowing the white, which can negate the peaceful purity. Which colour do you see as the most dominant force here? 

The snake around the waist of the magician is the ouroboros or symbol for everlasting life, above his head is the lamniscate or infinity symbol which also represents everlasting life, rebirth, cycles and it also represents testicles. Again the reference to male energy but also life as well, everything is in a time loop in this world, wash, rinse, repeat until we spiritually awaken and learn to transcend the physical realm. Sadly not many learn how to break out of the encryption. 

The headband on the magician's head shows concentrated thought but it can also show restricted thinking. cut off from the higher consciousness or higher self. This headband also shows the sheer effort that it takes to find a happy or positive solution to one's problems. 

Russia is back in the spotlight but not with a breakthrough, so this calls for the western leaders to step up to bring this crisis to a close ASAP. This is a no win situation whatsoever, it has been allowed to go on so long that it is almost impossible to stop. Let alone get a sensible agreement or settlement, more carnage is the current outcome. The Russian troops feel like they are running out of steam and want to go home but can't. This is just pointless carnage now, with horrific animalistic brutality on both sides.

Drones are also responsible for removing any humanity because the enemy is not seen by the drone operator. It's just like a console game with no feeling or emotions involved. Just impersonal cold and unfeeling.

This is the new reality now in all world conflicts, random drone operators at a desk killing an unseen human being, be that a little baby, a child or adult. Mummy or daddy killed and noone to care for the children left behind. This is an evil anti human sick hunting game now and the enemy just doesn't care, because it is not happening to them or their family. Ah, but it might one day!

Do you  now see the reality behind all console games? it's so easy to sit at a console playing shoot em up, and then move to being a drone operator and a cold hard killer, who is indifferent to human life, no care whatsoever. Now look at the violent street thugs and gangster teenagers with manchettes running around the streets. They too play these console games, its  raw aggression allowed to get out of control that is so useful in a theatre of war .

Ask yourself where is the humanity? where is the human spirit here? That is what motivates us human beings, remove or disrupt that thinking process and you have  cold evil monster on your hands.

This is a disease of the soul where the human spirit retract inwardly and is suppressed by very dark controlling energy. A weak person cannot override this disease of the soul, in metaphysical terms some refer to this as the reptilian mind or archonic mind taking over, basically dark and evil entities enter the human thought process  and override any sense of compassion, logic and ability to reason. It is relatively easy to infect the human mind when one has weak moral values, no ethics or even has a fanatical mindset such as racism, misogyny, misandry,  religious fundamentalism, political fanaticism.

These make a keyhole into the human psyche, unlike a strong sense of self, a strong moral compass and honesty. These things are vital in the war against evil and keeping ones energy clean and protected. Drugs and alcohol weaken the human aura or energy field just like negative thinking does and allows dark energy into your aura and thought process. It's too late once you kill without impunity or compassion for a living soul. 

Ancient Gnostics warned humanity about this and were murdered for their troubles. Luckily some of their wisdom was preserved and survives to this very day for us to learn from. 

Highlights for June: Donald Trump sidelines his opposition politically.

China will take on a more dominant role globally, and we will see China step up to assure its allies such as Iran. The SOuth China Seas are back in the spotlight  as China seeks to strengthen its ties with weaker nations in the region. This will cause great concern for the US and Australia.

Children walking to school may be a problem for parents trying to keep their children safe.

Australia is on the verge of something new in technology, this covers defence and medicine. I feel nuclear energy connected here too. 

The economy is up and down this month and young people trying to buy a house may have parents going halfers with them to buy a house. Perhaps by selling a rental property to assist their youngsters. 

Deaf children come up in the news and music connected to children.

The new scientific breakthroughs this month are due to the astrological influences of Aquarius and Uranus which is responsible for scientific breakthroughs, discoveries, inventions, new technology. Uranus is futuristic  and drives human discoveries.

In the northern hemisphere I feel June will be warmer than usual, there is plenty of greenery and flowers, so it is beneficial to get outdoors and enjoy the grounding and peaceful energy. Botanical gardens, parks, beeches etc are recommended to feel grounded and relaxed. Enjoy the good vibes by spending more time outdoors on peaceful environments to lift your mood and enhance your wellbeing.

Being in nature is good for the human body, mind and spirit in general. Boosting our energy field, mental alertness and reviving and attuning the body frequencies. So please if you can get outdoors and spend more time in nature. The magician card also alludes to this grounding of energy, as above, and so it is below. This is literally bringing spiritual energy or life force if you like from the non physical environment down into the human body.  The human body is like a battery and the energy must be recharged regularly to stay fit and healthy, including mentally. This is electrical (bio-electrical) and spiritual energy which is transformational energy that the body needs. Spend some time in bare feet standing or sitting on the ground to allow the energy to flow up into your body and feel the difference. Clarity of the mind is one of the things you will notice and a feeling of being more calm and relaxed. If you are near water, you can put your feet in the water for grounding energy too such as in a river or the ocean. Meditation near water also helps the human body refresh the energy field. 

The energy that flows through humans, flows through all living things in our world, it comes from the primary source of all life  and creation. We are all conductors of this energy be we human or other species. All the elements including the human soul fires or spirit must be continually replenished and kept in balanced harmony to create a truly divine being...Human. We do not allow evil to dwell in such a divine vessel for that is an abomination of ignorance. 

Blessings and peace to everyone wherever you may live and look after your loved ones and fur babies

Don't forget to put some love into the earth, it needs it.

Warm and fuzzy hugs

Alex

Wes Penre: Q and A Session 12, 2026

 https://wespenrevideos.com/2026/05/16/qa-session-12-2026/

I can’t say that I believe everything said in this Q and A. 

For a start, the fish is symbolic of the constellation of Pisces and the ruler of the 12th house of the zodiac, which rules religion and the entire Middle East. 

I don’t believe that a mass wake up is possible either, I used to accept that but these days I am skeptical. No two individuals think completely alike on any subject as it is. To have an awakening as described, one has to have a high vibrational frequency to match the required state of awakening and one would expect it to be consistent for a period of time. That is not easy to do as an individual let alone whole group of people, plus how many people are required for such a thing? 

From what I have read over the years in metaphysics about raising the dead, the physical body is a tomb of the flesh where the spirit is suppressed. Wes even mentioned that is one of his articles a while back. 

I do agree that gnosis or spiritual wisdom is vital for humans to leave this horrible world of death and suffering. There is hope during one’s lifetime to expand our spiritual gnosis if one is astrologically programmed to have an awakening. However we have so many distractions around us that it can be very difficult to focus on our spiritual growth and find the right information to assist us in our spiritual awakening. Determination and sheer will is a strong factor in our quest and this can take up a major part of a person’s life. Nothing worthwhile is ever easy and this journey alters one’s life style, so one must be prepared and willing to make the sacrifices including losing friends in order to attain true gnosis. 

When one’s journey doesn’t match up with others this is to be expected but never be deterred from such an important journey of your life. 

By the way, reptilian is the same as archonic, just in case you come across other people’s articles online about spiritual or metaphysical issues. That includes ufo researchers who talk about reptilian beings, they are archons. These beings have absolutely no right to be judging humans because they are responsible for our plight for thousands of years. They are the architects of this reality and depend on humans being stuck here for their survival and benefit from us being in a state of ignorance and darkness. They are the beings behind all war and suffering because they influence our minds heavily, if you actually take the time to read vast quantities of metaphysical information like many others have, then you will find this out for yourself.

Wintertime Magic

Frosty cold air and silvery frosting on the trees lets us know that winter is here. A glance out the window to see the bright morning sun and to greet the day. Jack Frost’s tantalising art on the windows tells us there is a long season ahead, and it’s time to get ready for the day ahead. Put on the kettle for a hot cup of tea and make some breakfast while trying to stay warm.

Remembering childhood winters and the walk to school where dreams of afternoon play was the main train of thought. Hot chocolate awaits as we arrive home in the late afternoon and puts a warm glow on our cheeks. Sitting by the fire warming our toes feeling happy and content, savouring the moment and watching tv with exquisite delight. 

Now childhood is over, and the focus is now facing the working day ahead; but still taking time to enjoy the beautiful things that winter provides. The crisp golden leaves falling from trees, the red berries shining and new. Shimmering frost on the grass in the early morning sunlight and the nip of cold air. Wintertime treasure in every moment outdoors as Jack Frost leaves his calling card for us to admire on a brisk cold morning. Then the sun shines on the beautiful day and melts the frost away, with a clear blue sky radiating over us to begin the day. 

Mother nature’s beauty is a wondrous gift; with every season’s creation there is something to celebrate. The ever changing landscape and the sky responds likewise with its own colourful creation to complement what is below. The seasons are a feast for the senses if you take time to observe quietly; nature’s treasures, be that in the garden, the streets or the countryside. There is such wonder and beauty, in the life force called nature in all its glory. 

After the long summer has gone, we long for our cozy jumpers and scarves, embracing the chilly weather once again. Our favourite jumpers, our warm coats that offer comfort and warmth, there’s something about them that gives us pleasure as we head outdoors. Perhaps it’s the memories of childhood stirring our hearts in subtle ways. Our inner child delights in the simple pleasures of seasons and what possible joys may come in the unexpected moments. Embrace the possibilities and the magic that the day brings forth. It never repeats itself, so take what is offered and enjoy the moment. Hold the memories and the feelings that you experience and look back fondly; at the simple joy in feeling alive.

 After a day of meaningful work, the daylight starts to fade, and a winter’s golden sunlight bathes your soul. Like a beautiful dream until at last night falls and it’s the light indoors that beckons us. Snuggling up after dinner and resting weary yet cozy, as the day closes we head to our bed, pre-warmed by the electric blanket, just perfect on a cold winter night. Enjoying the comfort and warmth that we delight in when winter comes.

Time to plant Roses

 It’s that time of year again to plant roses, and I am champing at the bit to plant roses. I just ordered another rose, Madame Anisette which is a highly fragrant rose and grows to 1.8m high, repeat flowering and disease resistant. It’s part of the Kordes Parfuma range, and flowers from spring to autumn. So you get plenty bang for your buck with constant colour and less spraying for bugs. 

I ordered mine through garden express in Victoria and it should arrive in a week or two. This is the time to shop for roses and get them in the ground. They look delightful among daisies and lavender for easy care. Sadly this year there are a few that are temporarily unavailable and many that I want are on that list. 

These days when people are time poor but want a flower garden the disease resistant long flowering roses are ideal for mass planting. They don’t let you down, as they are a riot of colour in continuous bloom. 

I would love to create a rose walk but I have already committed to making sections of different varieties in my garden. So that plan is out the window, and I have to come up with something that is easy to create without any difficulty. But I still have room to squeeze more roses in, driving my husband nuts. Not that he is a gardener, that’s my job. 😂 Nobody messes with my garden, I love my flowers and old world romantic gardens. 


https://www.gardenexpress.com.au/product/rose-madame-anisette-pbr/?srsltid=AfmBOopIN1j5e5TVtzUiD1N-bnt1CG4xo9x6BXb2iqb3Y_EUPT3UUPoE

Find your colour theme and go with it, and let your imagination run wild, with depth, texture and grouping. One word of advice though is, make sure your young plants are protected from wildlife. I just lost a new apple blossom carpet rose to that pesky rabbit that visits my garden.  I went out to collect seeds from my cosmos flowers yesterday, and looked at the spot where I had planted the carpet rose. It took me a few seconds to realise it was gone. That bunny had eaten it right down to the ground. So guess who is going to get evicted? 

I did love him visiting the garden but, eating my rose crossed the line, lol. So I will block where he came in from asap. Lo and behold today I also discovered the bunny had bitten through my Wonga vine. That was the second one that we had planted. The frost killed the first one because it was planted too soon, but the new one was definitely doing well until the pest decided to bite it. Resulting in one empty and boring metal screen in dire need of foliage. Oh, well, roll on spring time with any luck my sweet peas will grow up the screen without little teeth chopping on them. 

It’s like the curse of the were rabbit trying to stop mr bunny feasting on my plants. A handy gardening tip is plant flowers that are pest  deterrent such as marigolds, lavender, daffodils, foxglove, snapdragons and alliums. Good to know when you want to keep the bunnies away. Small developing plants need a wire cage to keep out predators until the plant reaches a satisfactory size. So; as soon as I get my new rose and a replacement carpet rose I will put a cage around them.  

Happy gardening everyone; may your garden be an abundance of peace, joy and serenity to you 


The Flower Fairies : Spiring Magic

 The world is very old;

But year by year

It growth again 

When buds appear. 

The world is very old,

And sometimes sad;

But when the daisies come 

The world is glad. 

The world is very old;

But every Spring 

It growth again,

And fairies sing.

I have always been very aware of WhatsApp and also aware that it gets hacked. Many of my clients use this product but I have never used it because I know that it’s not trustworthy. 

Why on earth are people so silly as to use this service? Like TikTok too, spying and hacking go hand in hand with both of these, yet people ignore the facts. Here’s an idea, stop using the platform and stick with more secure platforms. 

If you don’t use MALWAREBYTES then at least sign up for their newsletter and stay informed on the latest developments and protect your privacy and security. Change your passwords regularly and make sure you have two step verification on everything.

Can houseplants really purify the air in your home? What the science actually says

 https://theconversation.com/can-houseplants-really-purify-the-air-in-your-home-what-the-science-actually-says-279690

Fellow plant lovers, the cat is outta the bag. 😂🪴🎍 NASA experiments go some of the way in this theory but you need a hell of a lot of plants to do the deed in your house. Still the happy vibes more than compensate for the hype when you have oodles of plants to enjoy. 

I love the sunlight on my house plants early in the morning giving me a happy and content feeling. Green leaves give me such  a soothing and healing vibe. 


Humour: Food, facial hair and a little black number

 

                                             That’s me in 5 minutes 🤣🤣🍕🍟🍝


Slip into something more comfortable, yeah a dark mood

I’ve investigated a hantavirus outbreak. Here’s what I can tell you about the cruise ship cluster Published: May 7, 2026 3.06pm AEST

 https://theconversation.com/ive-investigated-a-hantavirus-outbreak-heres-what-i-can-tell-you-about-the-cruise-ship-cluster-282365

This is a medical expert’s report on Hantavirus and how it spreads. He states right down the bottom of the article that most hantaviruses are not spread by human to human contact. That includes the Andes virus, person to person contact is very rare, and requires close or prolonged contact. 

Still there is more detective work to be done here, as he points out. It’s still very sad that people have died and extremely distressing for everyone involved in this matter.

Wes Penre: Q and A Session 11, 2026

 https://wespenrevideos.com/2026/05/05/qa-session-11-2026/

This has been in my emails for 2 days, my bad? 😂🤣 

Regarding Q1. Raising our vibrational frequency or energy can be a combination of all three. But doing so as a daily practice is a good thing. But realistically our bodies frequency changes constantly throughout the day for various reasons including our daily routine and working schedule. 

2. I don’t fully accept what Wes is saying here and I definitely don’t like Barbra Marciniak, she doesn’t have a good vibe. No one can come back here to confirm anything for a start so hear say is rather risky to be acceptable. So I will reserve my judgment on earth in the 3D being the only was to achieve gnosis. As far as I am concerned this world is a place of lies and deception. 

I don’t like this creator god concept, and I would not want to create lives and insert them into a world like this. What right does anyone have to do this? Virtually playing god, that smacks of ego and not something that I would be willing to do to another being. Then there is the theory of the new earth or twin earth which is supposedly much bigger than this planet and rumoured to be where many will incarnate if they don’t come back here. Again where is the proof of this? This has been around the spiritual and new angers circles for decades. We should also be very wary of channelled information because it is not always true, or it can be a distortion of truth. There are many beings in the non physical world that can communicate with humans through telepathy and mediumship or meditation practices. Always be very cautious with any information received from other beings. 

4. These archons hate humans and are jealous because of our spiritual fires that we have within our makeup at an atomic level. I have had encounters with these beings and they give off a nasty, aggressive vibe. It’s something that they are unable to hide from humans and their energy feels like a disturbing sickness. That the only way that I can describe the vibe they give off. It’s a bit like when you meet someone and you instantly feel very uncomfortable being near them but can’t quite put your finger on what it is about them that feels off putting. But you know something isn’t right when you are in their presence. That’s the vibe these beings give off, but much worse. 

They are the cause of the disease of the soul in humans, what native Americans call Wetiko. Humans are under this influence right now hence all the violence right now as there is a spiritual decline which is causing war in many levels within humanity. 


Short reading on UK elections for May 2026

I have never looked at British elections in the cards before, but I had a very quick look yesterday. There is a lot of Pisces/ Neptune energy in the cards and I feel the British people are being misled with deception and illusion, some of which is their own self deceptive thinking.  The public want a leader who will defend them and push back against what previous governments have done. Nigel Farage’s Reform UK party will win the elections but it will not be what the British people think they are getting. Farage comes across as someone who believes his own fantasies. That is the influence of Pisces and Neptune (organised crime, drugs), but there is the Aquarius/Uranus and Pluto influence here too, which means expect the sudden and unexpected which can be violent (Uranus) this is Utopian ideate with Pluto's destructive force through to 2044.

There is a lot of illusion surrounding the Reform UK party and Nigel Farage, the result of this election will not be what people think they are getting. Farage needs to be careful that he does not become a martyr to the cause also. 

As I open the cards I felt a lot of Pisces/Neptune energy, this tells me there is a lot of illusion and deception afoot. I can see that an element of the British public want a hard right leader to fix the illegal  immigration issue and stop the boats. There is a lot of public anger indicated and the people are demanding change, but what about other criminal activity that needs to be stopped? 

I do not feel that the public are getting exactly what they are wanting. Yes, there is a sweeping change indicated, but it may not please the voters in the long run. The Reform UK party must be very careful not to upset innocent people that do not deserve it. Britain is a multi-cultural nation and social cohesion is very important.

I do feel there will be members of the public that will take to the streets to voice their displeasure as the election results and the government must handle the situation very carefully or things will get out of hand.

Yes, the boats will be stopped and there is definitely a pushing back by the authorities to defend the borders. France though is the problem because they are not stopping this mass influx to Britain, Mr Farage will also upset  France's Macron with this matter, who has done very little to stop the boats arriving in the first place. Remember these are economic illegal immigrants that have passed through many countries to get to the UK. The government is in no mood to tolerate this abuse of the nation, and no sane government will tolerate this abuse.

I feel the US's president Trump will reach out to Farage to mend fences, here though care must be taken not to cause any more upsets to either side. 

I do see the economy will be one of the major tasks to deal with and hardship will still be there for a few more years unfortunately, as this will take time to turn things around. I do see the tax system again benefiting business and the rich, and not the ordinary people. Remember politics is a rich man's game and Farage is super wealthy so he will look after his buddies. 

There will be new partnerships and agreements made that benefit Britain and more manufacturing is indicated on British soil. More connection to Europe, especially with trade, defence, agriculture and farming. 

Defence should be prioritised as a matter of urgency due to global politics. I do feel homeland security will be a priority due to polarising public  attitudes and crime. Make no mistake the new prime minister will defend the coastline, and protecting the country from negative influences. He will be in the public spotlight from the start.  

Presently there is a lot of anger in the UK and this has to be dealt with, Nigel Farage is an Aries-Dragon (1964), and as a leader this star sign usually makes a strong leader, not necessarily with Farage though. I don't think Farage is made of hard enough substance. I do feel that Farage looks to much to the past and that past is gone for ever. A new Britain is dawning and it must accommodate the people that live there legally at present. One thing that does bother me here with the far or alternate right is a repeat of a  WW2 Germany mindset driving this change, and the country needs to prevent this mentality. The alternate right are ruled by emotions and not much logic which means dangerous mistakes will be made.  

Fanning the flames of the an angry public is never a good idea, and I see people doing just that. Some accuse Farage and his party of inciting violence and racial tension, yet that is exactly what previous governments have done by their inaction to crime, and two wrongs never make a right. 

I see Farage riding to victory with thuggish men cheering him on from the sidelines, this is a class and racial divide which will trigger a religious and cultural problem.

One thing that strikes me here is the problem reaction, solution scenario. I feel that the public have been fooled by years of governments being soft and letting things slide to the point that criminals no longer fear the authorities, gangs are out of control by design and now that Britain is in ruins, present the cure, a hard line political system like the fourth Reich, which was the plan all along. This is not the world that we want to live in, we need social cohesion, and respect for the laws of the nation in which one resides, without a WW2 repeat.

 UPDATE: Starmer is gone, Reform UK in the lead, but it’s still early days yet. I  am rather worried about what the long term effects will be. 5.52 pm AEST time

UPDATE : Not following politics , I  didn’t realise this was a council election and not the British General Election. That doesn’t happen until 2029. Silly me, but it does paint a picture of how much the public are sick of the state of Britain when Reform UK have the highest number of votes.

HOW TO GROW & CARE FOR CTENANTHE

 https://www.lovethegarden.com/au-en/growing-guide/how-grow-care-ctenanthe#:~:text=Ctenanthe%20can%20tolerate%20drying%20out,is%20dry%20before%20watering%20again.

I have a 2 year old Ctenanthe (pronounced ten an thee) plant, and it has just produced its first flower. I noticed it had some sticky leaves today also. I quickly removed them as it turned out to be bugs attacking my plant. Just when we have heavy rain today too, lol. So as soon as the weather clears I will get it outside to clean it up. 

I thought I would share this plant care advice from; love the garden dot com just in case anyone reading my blog has similar problems with one of these plants. I know my hairdressers have this plant too so it will be helpful for whomever is looking after the plants at the salon. 

What would we do without the internet at our fingertips, not all gardening books have all necessary the information that is sometimes needed. A handy tip is, copy the link to your emails and label the plant care advice so you can have it on hand easily. 

Happy indoor plant gardening 😻😀

Rare discovery of ambergris on Denmark beach excites scientists and historians

 https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-04-30/rare-discovery-of-decades-old-whale-vomit/106617738

What a find, this is something that comes along once in a blue moon. It’s still legal in Europe to use ambergris in high end perfume manufacturing. Ambroxan is the synthetic equivalent used in most perfumes. You can make a fragrance last longer on your skin by  putting moisturiser on first and then that holds the fragrance in place.

Australian flag accidentally displayed in Washington instead of the British flag

Oh dear, how embarrassing. I can understand a mix up between the New Zealand flag and the Australian flags because they are very similar at first glance.  But the Union Jack 🇬🇧

The Australian flag, the big seven point star represents  the commonwealth star and the other stars represent the Southern Cross 

The New Zealand flag, the stars represent the Southern Cross which is the main constellation seen in the Southern Hemisphere.

RSL Sub Branch targeted with vile anti veteran graffiti on ANZAC DAY

 https://www.9news.com.au/national/rsl-sub-branch-targeted-by-candals-on-anzac-day/c56dd29c-a622-48d5-a8ca-71fa5d59d043?utm_source=nine_weekend&utm_medium=newsroom_newsletter&utm_term=newsroom

This is utterly vile and this has been happening for years, so why isn’t the government setting up security cameras and patrolling the areas designated for war memorials and RSLs? Where are the police to patrol known targets? There are too many weak excuses for this not being done. 

This is left wing fanatics that lack a moral compass and the courage to defend our nation and disrespecting our war fallen and their families. This is the lowest of the low and they don’t have the guts to show themselves in public because they are gutless cowards. 

The other sickening part of ANZAC Day was the booing that some individuals were doing in regards to the welcome to country. 

How disgraceful, and a national embarrassment for the country. Many indigenous men fought in both world wars and in Vietnam, and this behaviour is totally unacceptable.

Number 5 is very interesting, that white, blue-violet light, spiritual energy is what I see when I know spirit is around me. I have been seeing it for over 20 years every day. The light is like a spark that reminds me of a diamond sparkling. I often see it just before I go to sleep at night.

The Chinese and Japanese gardens in Canberra

Yesterday I finally got a chance to visit Lennox gardens in Canberra, it’s only taken me 31 years, lol. It was a lovely day and strolling through the park and enjoying the autumn sunshine with the beautiful autumn leaves, it was just a perfect day. I had long wanted to see the park and I thoroughly enjoyed my visit there. I highly recommend it for visitors to town, and right at the beginning there is a cute little hidden garden with a vine clad structure surrounded by hedgerows and woodland plants and trees. In each corner there has a park bench to sit on and take in the peaceful view. My kind of place to sit quietly. 

The Nara peace park and the peace bell are within the Lennox garden park as is the Chinese garden, the beautiful structures are well worth seeing and photographing, as they sit amongst manicured gardens. 

There are picnics tables and plenty of room for families to enjoy an outing and a pleasant walk along the lakeside. I really wish that I had visited the gardens sooner as it was just so beautiful. 

Another nice place in the city to visit is the rose gardens next to old Parliament House, if you are lucky to see the last of the seasons blooms go along for a visit. The area around there is also very beautiful and attracts many tourists daily. It may not be the big hustle and bustle of Sydney but it has a lovely relaxing atmosphere and beautiful blue skies. Canberra has plenty of green open space and parks to explore with the family all year round and great for those of us who love nature.

ANZAC DAY 25 April 2026

                                                       Lest we forget 




https://www.veteransfirstconsulting.com/?cq_plt=gp&cq_term=advocates%20online&cq_plac=&cq_con=147114143413&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=19865736894&gbraid=0AAAAAow5WxJjVlxw4m5pJGEfIZTf5ui-y&gclid=Cj0KCQjw-pHPBhCdARIsAHXYWP9mi_Asv1V6T2sqrIDgG3MLetHnSK4vEwDFBzRxoH-LRy_LHuRJdt8aAhPnEALw_wcB 

This year Advocates Online have a soldier walking 300 kms from Holsworthy Barracks in South Western Sydney to Canberra to arrive on ANZAC Day at the Australian War Memorial on ANZAC Parade Canberra.  He is wearing the WW1 uniform and carrying the Australian flag with pride as he passes through each town on his way. I have so much respect for this man and all of those supporting him on his long walk, honouring all those that gave their lives in all wars, that we may live.

I actually lived near Holsworthy Barracks when I was younger and before that I lived in the Camden area at The Oaks so I know the area well and the route taken, and living in Canberra for 31 years now. Funny how there has always been a military presence around me since I came to Australia as a child. 

I have so much respect for our military, the ANZAC legend and history.

My 2026 Psychic Predictions are getting more hits on my website than this blog

 I have noticed how there is an unusual lack of awareness in my 2026 psychic predictions on this blog and more hits on my official website for my 2026 world predictions and my Australian psychic predictions. As I keep reminding people they are done every October. I have had to put the links at the bottom of both sets of 2025 psychic predictions to get people to actually click on them and read them.

I have come to the conclusion that people are not clicking on those links And perhaps not scrolling down to see the hits of my predictions as they come up which is just bizarre, but ok. 

Predictions are done for a reason by clairvoyants and psychics, they are a warning and a guide for the world. Not all clairvoyants and psychics can do these, it’s a special gift to be able to do them to share with humanity. It is not an easy thing to do, it’s time consuming and exhausting. That on top of family life and chronic health issues takes its toll on me. I love doing predictions and tarot card of the month, I like to share them with the world as it is a spiritual calling and not something that I can walk away from until I retire.

Theme from Harry’s Game: RIP Moya Brennan

 


Such sad news of Moya Brennan of Clannad passing, she is the older sister of Enya . 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moya_Brennan

Humour for the weekend

 

A Scottish meme, to be scunnered means to be sickened or annoyed by something or someone 







Tarot Card of the Month: May 2026, The Wheel OF Fortune

 


Planet: Jupiter (rules the 9th house)  Elements: Fire and Air House: 12th (ruled by Pisces and Neptune) 

Some of the meanings of the number 10 are wholeness, amplification, consummation and the effects or the results of  completion, heritage, solution, community and transformation 

Unbelievable, this card two months running, isn't that weird! I don't think I have ever had this before. I will take it as an omen.

We are currently in fast moving times and high  fire and air energy. As I look at the cards, I hear "capital punishment is high". Death sentences are carried out without  justice. This is panic mode  to execute people quickly in Iran. 

I feel there is an attempted assassination  or actual assassination of  the prime minister of Pakistan also.  

May is all about law and order, justice, education and money. As in big business, finance and the economy. The energy of May is very aggressive and kill them quick mentality, like the wild west. 

Swift justice and Israel will step up its attacks like a cleansing of terrorists.

Expect disruptions or interruptions to services in May with services and other aspects of daily life. We will especially be impacted with interruptions to  all forms communication. That could also disrupt the internet  and phones for some people, as well as general communication. Remember that this can prolong conflicts, and affecting government and official lines of communication. 

Booking accommodation, such as a hotel rooms, Air B and B etc, could be full of hassles too in May (communication) as well as financial hassles. Make sure your bank account is not short of funds. 

Just for that extra frustration kids will be in a ratty mood too, and being rather demanding. You need to set boundaries and mean it. The days of entitlement are over. children in war zones are already familiar with poverty and loss and children in safe nations need to understand the realities according to their ages.

I feel authority will be challenged world wide,  and I am hearing the words "don't start what you can't finish". There is very powerful energy ruling the month of May, which covers the ongoing conflicts, finance and Business. President Trump will clear the Straits of Hormuz (as of 18/4/26 its open).

President Putin is not too worried about the war in Ukraine either, he seems to raise his head to see if Trump or anyone is actually paying him any attention. Trump is more focused on Iran at present though, so Putin is feeling left out so keep an eye on Russia. 

World leaders are trying hard to negotiate with each other on how to get along better, and how to avoid upsetting Trump. As I look at the card I see the world split in half, but then there seems to be little fragments of nations or organisations with their own little groups. As it is there is the UK, Europe, Australia, Canada and New Zealand  in one such group. The US, Israel  in their own group. 

Israel is represented by the Sphinx with the sword, smiting their enemies. Actually it’s more Netanyahu rather than the government. We have a religious and business alliance here  that has a rather serious demeanor about it. 

With the Wheel of fortune's energy this can be a real fireball situation, as we have two elements, fire and air. A big gust of wind added to a fire creates chaos as we see with any fire event, buildings or bush fires.  Right now the entire Middle East is a powder keg, where things can get out of hand very easily and very quickly. I do not see the region settling down any time soon, truces won't last unfortunately.

As I look back to the card the number 10  tells me that someone wants to be king. He will use all his power to get what he wants. This is one very determined leader we are talking about, this is Mr Netanyahu, Trump is no match for this guy. Netanyahu seeks control of the region and war is the only outcome for this unfortunately. Remember this is a number one year and the year of the Fire Horse, so this is to be expected. Raw aggressive power which is volatile and violent male energy, that says it's me first baby. 

Other Middle Eastern nations will not cooperate with Netanyahu, and why should they. You don't walk into someone's house and raid the fridge for food and expect them not to be offended. 

I feel it will also be some time before the US and the UK will kiss and make up, the UK is not in a very powerful situation these days either. Sitting between the US and Europe, the nation needs to know who has its back. I would not advise the UK to burn bridges with the US though, they must co operate as they need each other. 

Health and education are highlighted for May, this includes education settings and the actual buildings themselves. What I feel could be due to attacks on the students or the buildings by someone with a grievance or acts or terror. This could also include religious and political ideologies where protest demonstrations are held in or around educational institutions. 

School fights need to be taken more seriously and parents need to be held accountable for their children's behaviour and violence. People have had a gut full of brattish behaviour and less likely to tolerate it any longer. This is the influence of Pluto  on top of the already Pluto in Aquarius until 2044, which means a high level of violence, raw anger and hatred. Pluto rules the underworld including organised crime, it rules the masses and dictatorships.

So when you think of the last two world wars they will look like a Sunday school picnic compared to the next one and these violent youths will be in that war.  Don't think for one minute that they will abide by human rights, because that just ain't going to happen! 

We are also looking at a religious war in its early stages  right now. This is not going to go away, thanks to like minded people. The 9th house of the zodiac is activated, which rules far away places including overseas, education or higher learning, the higher mind, religion, philosophy, the super conscious and the subconscious as well as spiritual beliefs or spirituality. So this affects logical thinking.

Jupiter rules the 9th house of the zodiac and represents good luck, expansion, prosperity, and rules law and order, wealth, big business and higher education. So Jupiter is the law maker and judge, keep that in mind when your children commit a crime.  

With education facilities know where emergency exits are in case of violence such as a lone gunman or terrorism. Be safe please.

As I have said May has explosive energy, so please be very careful when you travel, especially overseas. Do Not Go to regions or countries in conflict. You may not get back out and could be stranded there due to flight disruptions. 

Transport disruptions (communication) are inevitable and not just public transport, include goods of all sorts being transported. 

Sheep are in the news connected to this, as in possible delays in transporting livestock due to fuel shortages or other issues causing a hold up. 

Ireland will be at a flashpoint due to religious and cultural tensions with mass immigration.  

I also feel that Donald Trump will over extend himself in May which could lead to a downfall or disaster. He should be delegating to others more and not taking on too many tasks at once because that is how things don't work out. better planning and foresight is needed. Trump is bringing war to his enemies and may cross the line. His actions are calculated and he is bringing the big guns into conflict, he clearly does not mess around he goes right in for the fight. Unfortunately he never sees the reality of his actions. His views are obstructed and he cannot see what is coming, this does not look good for him or the US. There is also hidden reasons and hidden plans behind his actions that are never scrutinised and certainly not by the public. Multiple things are taking place in secret, the root issues are never seen yet the enormous results are there for all to see. 

Mr Trump tends to take his big stick into meetings as he meets with allies, friends and other leaders. It's me first buddy. What ever happens in May will definitely have long term effects  and this is highly destructive energy. 

May is also a month where it may be rather tricky trying to understand other peoples motives as there is a bit of miscommunication or misunderstanding of facts (communication).

France may step in to negotiate with the Middle East conflicts in a leading role as they are not in agreement with Israel and the US. Defence will be stepped up yet again in May and there will be no backing down. 

Fire is highlighted in May but not just as in combustible fire like a building on fire, its also people being emotionally combustible. Hot tempers flare up through self assertive beliefs with the additional influence of social media as well as mainstream media (communication). 

Social media has by its nature a highly dubious reputation for disinformation which is sometimes deliberate dis information. It pays to check your facts with verifiable sources. 

I feel that in January 2027 storm clouds are gathering again with the US government saber rattling and I hear Pete Hegseth's name and the word “ fury”.

Me thinks we should have a reset, unplug the world and switch it back on for a reboot. 

Well May looks a bit of a s**t storm, and it isn't going to get any nicer unfortunately. My best advice is don't poke any bears, keep away from the pointy end for a start. The human race seems to have madness infecting their subconscious, please don't join in this insanity of evil. Teach your children the consequences of violence and accountability lest they end up  living in a darker world than it already is.

We need our youth  to avoid the evils of a sick society globally. The reset is long, painful and a hellish price to pay. 

Much love to all wherever you live, stay safe and love your families and animals of the world. They deserve much better from humanity too.

Warm and fuzzy hugs

Alex

Cowra Japanese Garden

 This is a place that I have wanted to visit for many year's Cowra is 2 and a half hours north of Canberra and is a very famous historic...
