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

Walking with Moai: Unlocking the mysteries of Easter Island stone statues

 https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-01-02/rapa-nui-easter-island-moai-creation-and-movement-explained/106077706

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

 Let the New Year rip people, just don’t eat after midnight and don’t get wet and we should be good to go 🤣🤣🤣

On a serious note; a nice Scottish blessing to everyone. May the best that you ever see, be the worst that you ever see ❤️🍾🥂🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇦🇺

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.

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

 https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-15378413/Stanley-Baxter-died-comedian-TV-recluse-christopher-stevens.html

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.

                                                   One of his Birdseye adverts for Scottish TV

       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 💖
