Tarot Card of the Month: December 2024, 8 of Cups

 

Number 8: Some meanings for this month are, adjustments, complexity, acknowledging error, reality, results of victory and challenges, efficiency, extension (agreements and timeline) movement, regulation, redistribute, redirection.

The number 8 astrologically speaking is about endings and transformations, money including inheritance or other people’s money, death (liberation of the soul), sex, regeneration, taxes, partner’s resources. The 8th house is ruled by the sign of Scorpio, which is a water sign and the planet Pluto, which is responsible for breaking down and rebuilding. Pluto has a 12 to13 year cycle. 

Element is Water 

Mercury goes retrograde on 25 November to  15th December. 

Welcome to the last TCOM for 2024, which is a number 8 year and the last card is also a number 8. 

Looking at the card we see the sky is clear yet the sky is dim with the moon partially covering the sun. This shows us there is some illusion happening in December. It is out with the old and in with the new. 

December is charged with emotional energy, as is the times that we are currently experiencing, which will be for a long time to come. Individually this card is about finding one's self by looking inwards and examining our feelings, questioning our life direction and even our spiritual beliefs, political beliefs, wrong versus right. Acknowledging the shadow self and making life changing decisions.

So  this card tells me, we will see people looking for understanding of themselves, and what is happening around them. Do they fit in with the crowd, family values, spiritual or religious beliefs etc.

Emotions are highlighted again in December globally, clearer thinking is essential and removing illusion and deception relating to issues that cloud one's judgement and thinking   

December is about transformation, endings and new beginnings, foreign lands, deaths, rebirth, money, and communication on all levels. So pay attention to what is being said, what you read, what you say. Don't make ambiguous  statements, or say things that can be misunderstood or taken the wrong way. Clarity of communication is a must, as is clarity of thought and removing illusions that cloud our judgement and thinking on many issues is in the spotlight. Care is also needed in how we react to the news, in regards to religion, politics, belief systems and our sub conscious programing. 

Things will come to the surface emotionally (the moon) that will be challenging to accept, acknowledge and deal with. Honesty is the best policy in such matters. Nobody is perfect as we all make mistakes. But do we really learn from the mistakes? It is advisable to keep emotions in check this month due to the high emotional energy combined with deep seated emotions that rise to the surface. 

Support may  not always be available for you, so you may have to rely on your own emotional reserves. It is time to look into one's heart and see what is really there. 

Jumping from one situation to another is part of the December energy. Travelling long distance is indicated, including people moving from one nation to another, due to fears of conflict and war increasing. These people are seeking sanctuary, but where will they find it? Not everyone is welcoming to strangers on their soil or doorstep. Instability and insecurity are driving factors in this along with poor decisions by governments. 

I hear the words, battle lines are drawn, this relates to the US, UK and France mostly. I do feel the UK is singled out emotionally in December. Public anger, political upheaval and money problems are centered around England, in the south of England especially.  Protests, new arrivals to the country (legal and illegal) and government indifference towards the ordinary people drives this unrest. Starmer has sown division within his party, which makes the public look back to the Torries. However neither party is better than the other. Meanwhile the social divide is increasing.

The US is getting ready for action as Trump prepares to take office. This is not a smooth transition and something nasty is just around the corner, currently lurking in the shadows.  I do feel a downfall is imminent politically speaking and betrayal is in the air. Can the government head this storm off? 

This has a feeling like something or someone crossing the water and on the shores of the US, under the cloak of darkness unseen and unexpected.  This is about leadership, hearts and minds. A political "ally" going from his country to the UK, to the US. There are deep emotional convictions involved with this man. This feels like Zelensky of Ukraine. 

This is to shore up defence, but there a hint of  illusion or deception here. I also feel that Trump is getting ready to do something that will divide the US.  China meanwhile is on guard watching how things play out in Ukraine but won't show their hand. They are too busy in their own back yard with Taiwan and the South China Seas with naval  exercises and trying to build up buddies to team up with. Xi is doing the rounds to see who is on his team. There will be swings in his allies camp, jumping between China and the US. These nations are afraid that the US and Australia cannot protect them, and factoring in the length of time that it takes for the military to arrive to help them. 

I do feel something military is happening around water throughout December, (South China Seas, and a middle Eastern region) I hear the word Shoal or shoal of. 

Looking at the man in the card, I notice what looks like smoke next to the figure's left foot. Which makes me feel that it could be a target near the western coastline ( England?) The target looks like it has been bombed or burned. The ground where the figure is standing looks like the south west of England.

The figure himself looks to be on a mission of some sort, both for himself and a country. Seeking help and higher ground and asking for sanctuary, this again feels like Zelensky. The question is will he get his sanctuary? That all depends on the deal that's struck. Either way he has to deal with Trump. 

As I look at the cups stacked up in the foreground, I observe the gap between the cups on the top row. Wiggle room! That's a very big gap here to slip through, not to mention either side of the top row.  Freedom of movement, thought and enlightenment. This is a choice that is available should a person look inwards and examine the truth of any matter on their mind. It also shows political wiggle room for adjustments.

For business, this card indicates goods being redirected, redistributed (aid?) Transportation of goods sitting at docks or distribution centers. 

I wish everyone a lovely Christmas season and all the very best for the New Year to come. Take care of your loved ones and do not take un necessary risks.

Warm and Fuzzy hugs to everyone wherever you live

HEADS UP NOTICE: My psychic predictions for both Australia and for the world in 2025

 Just a heads up, both my 2025 psychic predictions were posted on this blog in October as usual. However they were done a few days apart and thus you will need to type in the search string or if you click on the list of psychic predictions listed on the lower right hand side, keep scrolling down past 22/10/24.

The Australian predictions were posted on  18/10/24. For some reason the list in the index doesn't have everything in order

Australia in 2025 

PSYCHIC PREDICTIONS FOR THE WORLD IN 2025

REMEMBER ALL PREDICTIONS ARE POSTED EVERY OCTOBER AND ARE EFFECTIVE FROM THE DAY THEY ARE POSTED. 

I have been unsure if I was going to be doing predictions this year because my husband has been gravely ill and was in and out of hospital over 6 months and then finally having major surgery. Many other things have been going on also , it has been a very stressful year for my family. 2024 has been a horrible year for many people globally too. I will be glad to see the end of 2024 approaching for multiple reasons. What the next year will bring is what I am about to reveal. Please bear in mind that I am not a fan of politics and I know nothing of politics, I simply read the cards, listen to my spirit guides and observe the visions given to me. Please remember my predictions start from the day they are posted 

Law and order is the theme for 2025 as well as finance. 2025 is a very transformative year and we will see global changes in law and order, taking place. 2025 is also the Chinese year of the Wood Snake.

This is a number 9 year also and some of the meaning of the number 9 are, male energy, pregnancy, limits, strength, completion, temporary stability, humanitarianism, philanthropy, solitude, security, wisdom, the unconscious/ consciousness mind, attainment, and accomplishment

Astrologically the number 9 relates to the 9th house of the zodiac, of which the ruling sign is Sagittarius (understanding) Which covers religion, freedom, philosophy, scholarship, justice and generosity. However the negative effects are hot headedness, argumentativeness, bluntness, impatience, procrastination and exaggeration. The ruling planet is Jupiter (expansion,  good luck). This tells us the year is about law and order, and finances, which I picked up as I opened the tarot deck to start my predictions. 

So let me explain a little bit of information first. There are 3 houses of life in the zodiac, 1, 5 and 9.  As a house of life the 9th house rules the mind and spirit, hence it also rules religion, the super conscious and spirituality. The 9th house covers philosophy, the higher mind, higher learning, distant travel, law and also in-laws. 

The ruling planet is Jupiter, the great benefic, which has a 12 year cycle. It is benevolent and demonstrates the protective urge.

Interestingly among the body parts Jupiter rules is the right ear. This is the ear that I have activated when working with spirit. I get a strong energy in my right ear as I tune in every day.This lets me know that I am tuned in to spirit. Jupiter also rules fatty tissues, the pancreas and upper forehead. 

 Jupiter rules big business, wealth, prosperity, the higher mind, higher education and reasoning, It also promotes health and growth and is a symbol of good luck and wealth. Jupiter is the law maker, the judge and helper. This sets the theme for 2025.

What I heard opening the tarot deck was, The "wrathful King ", This relates to the Benjamin Netanyahu in Israel and it does not bode well for anyone. We will have a harsh start to the new year, with ego's and high emotional energy and violence as expected.

The cards show open deception, avoidance and someone in politics walking away from a grave situation rather than facing the consequences. This is a very cunning individual, and I feel this relates to the war in Ukraine. I feel this is Mr Zelensky and he is aware that to end this horrible war there must be a deal struck. The timing of the war ending is early spring time. Remember that I mentioned a situation or event happening and it would last three years? This was back before the Russians invaded Ukraine. 

I do feel Mr Zelensky will choose the terms on his terms only. He has his eyes on the prize so to speak and will offer his people platitudes. Team Ukraine have good news, but small consolations really, for ordinary people. 

I do not feel the new era will be what the Ukrainian citizens expected. There isn't a winner per se either in this war, as they say death is the great leveller. I also see the massive drain of taxpayers money from various nations will be ongoing to aid in the rebuild; and the taxpayers will not be happy losing their taxes that are needed at home in their country of origin. Especially in the US and the UK. Expect people to point out the unfairness in this. 

Hold ups to agreements or deals with governments are indicate, a imbalance needs corrected. This is to do with free trade agreements and embargoes. The UN and NATO may be connected to this and there could be membership suspensions. It seems there are one sided agreements involved. Some nations may be getting more entitlement than other nations and this will lead to a feeling of preferential treatment. 

Nature and climate issues are being pushed again. I also feel a strong feminine spiritual energy in 2025. This feels like a struggle between good and evil, as the energy of this world is way out of balance and nature and spirit fight back. Most people are seeking a peaceful world and turn to what they see as strong leadership. Expect the world to look to the US and the Republicans to restore some semblance of balance and leadership. Are we really getting this stability though? I feel JD Vance is pushing this more than Donald Trump. There will be a strong pushing back with ongoing conflicts of different kinds, but we will see some clarity  of thought and action as diplomacy is upped with world leaders trying to de-escalate tensions and there will be settling of some conflicts through firm control in western nations, who are desperately trying to keep peace on track.   

2025 is a change in direction, and their is a distinct air of uncertainty. Expect major announcements and changes from the US especially. We will see changes to transport, law and order and finance globally, as a restructure takes place. This is a slow moving transformation that requires patience. Money will still be tight for some people though. 

There is an upswing for industry on the way and I feel New Jersey in the US will benefit with the creation of new jobs and a lift in the finances of ordinary people. Defence spending will be up again in key western nations as they realise that they must build up their defences. 

Hospitals in major western nations are spotlighted for upgrades and new hospitals to be built to cope with the population increase. 

I do feel patience is wearing thin and a world leader is going to take matters into his own hands. He will go it alone and act swiftly, this feels like Benjamin Netanyahu. The rest of the world cringes and is afraid of what the outcome will be. Western leaders feel at a loss as to what they should say or do and loyalties are being tested. I do feel the US will be supportive of Israel. A peaceful outcome with Neptunian influence is unlikely and a reality check is required first, and then work out where to go from here. This is a very complex situation which will need complex resolutions, so expect this to be on going all year.    

2025, as I have said is all about transformation, not all change happens quickly though. Slow and effective is the way to go from here, which allows for correction and adjustments along the way. Positive change is in the air for business though.

We will see changes to crime and violence in many countries in Europe, the UK and the US. Gang violence will be in the news as the police don't seem to be able to keep it under control. 

We will see the hot issue of the gap between the rich and poor highlighted again, as people are justifiably angry and voicing their displeasure with their respective governments. Patience is required as it takes time for governments to implement changes. But how long is reasonable? Because this has been dragging on for years regardless of which political party is in office.

I do feel a small amount of relief but not enough to make much difference. I see governments are only prepared to offer small measured relief, meanwhile money is being deliberately siphoned off to the EU, UN and the WHO instead of helping citizens in their own homeland. The money is sucked into a black hole by greedy NGO's and there doesn't seem to be any genuine interest in helping ordinary people. Pushing many into depression and despair. Expect a backlash from the public as people demand help. They will demand their voices heard in Europe, the UK and the USA, however there is a stalemate as politicians don't seem to be listening. Emotions are running high as is the deception from  greedy politicians. Expect outrage as taxpayers money is also siphoned of overseas to rebuild Ukraine. The public will not tolerate this insult  as they struggle to keep a roof over their heads and feed their families.  

A message of peace  and decisions to be made by a Middle Eastern nation that is looking to be recognised for its good deeds. Yet they do not do any good deeds. This country has a very violent history, and when there is the slightest offence they smite anyone who disagrees with their policies. This is Iran trying to play down their reputation. 

I feel it will take at least 20 years for issues in the Middle East to simmer down. There will always be a mistrust between East and West  for years to come, business  deals aside. Ordinary people are in no mood to tolerate each other due to current long term circumstances, we can thank political manipulation for that. Ordinary people are not the problem we are the victims of the greedy rich and powerful, yet we are manipulated for financial gain and pay with our lives. 

Caution is a key word for 2025 because when people are threatened with the loss of everything,  feel they have nothing to lose they no longer care and become unpredictable. How can the human race stoop so low and their true spirituality mean absolutely nothing to them?  It's a very sad and tragic world we inhabit. 

Defense partnerships between Japan and their allies is a hot topic to start 2025. There is an urgency in creating this alliance. Taiwan is very jittery and seeks help form allies, this requires great care and skillful diplomacy  because the great dragon, China is awake and angry. 

More ongoing Naval issues with the South China seas dragging on and thus more ship building is indicated for the US as  defence production steps up a notch. Unfortunately there will be military transport issues due to poor planning and poor funding. 

Big business contracts are up for grabs in general manufacturing, however more retailers have to cut back products to survive. There is so much waste in the fashion industry with a huge over supply of cheap and nasty clothing which ends up as landfill. maybe if these corporations were made to be accountable and actually produce quality goods we would not have this problem. It is all about money though,  knocking out goods as quickly as possible and pressure sales in women's fashions especially. 

The clothes don't last a season either, this is planned obsolescence in garment making. So that the consumer has to buy more clothes as well as look fashionable.

 Economic agreements need to be scrutinised as some are straight out takeovers disguised as benevolent partnerships. 

I see big brand names going broke in the UK. Poor financial management and greed is to blame. Global retailers are pushing household names out of  the market. 

Hidden secrets will come to light revealing government corruption including religious institutions involvement. Innocent people will have their names cleared of any alleged  wrongdoing. 

I  see  poverty in the spotlight and people are fighting back. There is a lot of anger here and justice will be swift to come down on the public.

Germany will be vocal on peace efforts yet try to please its own citizens who are worried about immigration issues. Mind games are being played on the public to keep them being wound up over social issues though.

Sir Keir Starmer's days are numbered and the public clearly do not like him, and he is not on the same page as his party. I would not be surprised if he resigns or is replaced some time next year. 

I do feel a burst of energy next year in the UK around spring to early summer as people cast of the gloom. Something is being offered to the public who are in a state of apathy and in need of some happiness.   Meanwhile there is explosive anger in the US with hard control focused on bringing back power and authority. Expect some shocking news and endings. With endings though, there are always new beginnings and this will launch America in a new direction. Which will shape the country for the next 10 years. There is a big push taking place, which feels like an aggressive male (Mars) energy, the turmoil will settle down  perhaps March to mid April and allow the necessary changes to take place. There will be a calming energy sweep over this turmoil due to diplomacy at home and overseas; and common sense will prevail. 

The world transformations may uncover more corruption in high places, so expect powerful people to be singled out, I  mainly feel drawn to Europe and the EU with this. 

India has more political upheaval with their prime minister Mr Modi, this will settle down though. The eyes of the world are watching and the Indian government will make sure that any issues are sorted.  Diplomacy is a must to keep everything harmonious. 

Love is in the air in 2025, romance and pregnancy. we can do with something nice to change the air. So get out there and find some happiness folks. 💝😍 This is one of the positive influences of a number 9 year. So please take the time to stop and smell the flowers and get outdoors to enjoy the sunshine. 

The energy feels like a universal blessing. Good luck to all the love birds out there. 

2025 has a very sensitive energy, so when you speak from the heart chose your words very carefully, to resolve any issues or upsets. You will find the path much smoother if you can remain calm  and focused. Unity and harmony are more powerful and this energy has a  long lasting effect. 

I do feel there will be more positive results globally as a transition is taking place. Not just with world leaders and politicians, but with ordinary people too. People want to be heard, acknowledged and their worries addressed which is not unreasonable. 

I also see social housing, immigration and health highlighted to varying degrees. This is in no way a golden fix but rather more a spot fix here and there. A Band-Aid job basically, however these things all take time to fall into place, so don't expect too much or too soon. 

Romania is in the news with its government pursuing justice and may not get on with EU nations. Romania is also looking into corruption in financial matters with politicians and officials. And greedy politicians will be exposed, yet everything will end up swept under the carpet quickly. 

Neptune energy is prominent next year which means confusion, illusion, deception and misunderstanding of realities at high government levels and with NGOs' such as the UN, the WHO are delusional in their outlook.  The effect of the planet Neptune means not just deceiving others, you also deceive yourself.

Neptune rules the sign of Pisces and the 12 house of the zodiac. The 12th house is a house of endings, which includes prison, seclusion and hospitals. 

Where is all that money really going? The social divide would be a lot narrower if it wasn't for pure greed and corruption at high levels, as individuals line their own pockets with public money.  Closer inspection and tighter laws need to be employed and all monies heavily scrutinised as to how much, where it comes from and where every cent is going. With a permanent record of every single cent accounted for. Money is often filtered into projects that never even happen. Water is one of the big factors in bogus money grabs, Neptune also rules water!

Immigration and the movement of people will be a main topic next year with new solutions being implemented. Expect the public to get antsy about that in the UK, Europe and the US. This is about border control and keeping things real. No more shenanigans will be tolerated  and people traffickers are on notice. 

Religious conflicts will continue without any resolution, and I do not see any major shift. However there will be scope for readjustment within reach if individuals are willing to cooperate. Unfortunately I do not feel Israel is in the mood to negotiate yet until they feel the threat is neutralized. 

Beware please because there is mischievous energy afoot for 2025 so  be wise and do not get into any confrontations or conflict if you can avoid it. Focus on good things and on things that you want to benefit you positively. Hopefully you will attract the happiness you need. As I already mentioned this years energy is sensitive but it is also intuitive  energy mixed with emotional energy. This can either be very volatile which can lead to violence and martyrdom mentality or it can be positive happy energy depending on your thoughts and actions. It is all energy in motion and at times raw. Spiritually speaking it is creative energy here, so we should be using our creative energies responsibly and respectfully ( Creative abilities are governed by our thought process for good and  positive purposes).

For Donald Trump, there is a sudden shock coming, a line in the sand is drawn and I do not see his marriage in good shape and a possible separation or divorce is indicated. I feel Mrs Trump is over the whole marriage thing.  Joe Biden will not be a happy camper and inclined to be somewhat grumpy after the elections in November 2024.  There are ramifications from his time in office coming home to roost and missing money to be accounted for in the US government, whether it is from the Trump era or the Biden era. 

In England I see a supermarket crisis with police being called in to handle rioting or theft from supermarkets. I feel this is in London, due to poverty and opportune crime. The UK is in a far worse situation than Europe is with poverty and appalling healthcare and public housing in decline. I feel there is more depression and withdrawal from society as many people just can't cope with the current state of affairs and virtually living in horrific poverty. Where is the government in such times? This is like something from a Charles Dickens novel. I actually had a vision of this back in 1990 as a new mother. Which I have mentioned in my blog posts previously, and here we are I am sorry to say. 

Finally, the African Union will be in the news as agreements with business and nations power sharing is highlighted. However I do not see peace with warlords making things very difficult; and no one seems to be able to bring them under control. Which drives up poverty, famine and violence resulting in more people being displaced. Borders will be again flooded with more people fleeing violence, only to be stopped at borders due to the strain on resources and citizens objecting. There is no easy solution to this misery unfortunately highlighting the uselessness of the UN to be an effective power yet again. 

People power used correctly and the power of positive and realistic thinking can achieve anything. Sadly those in powerful positions do not want equality and they will never stop their insatiable greed for money, power, control and asset hoarding. That does not sound like the actions of very spiritually advanced human beings. 

Please take care of yourselves and your loved ones, including all fur babies and wildlife. I wish everyone the best that life can offer in 2025

Tarot Card of the Month: November 2024, The Page of Cups

 

                              Romance, Imagination, Fantasy, Intellect, Emotions

Can you believe it, it's almost November already and the cold weather in the northern hemisphere will have begun already. In the southern hemisphere it is warming up and rain is back on the radar.

The charming Page of Cups greets us with his youthfulness, pride and a romantic heart this month. He may be a tad naïve at times but that is part of his charm. He is a dreamy sort of chap and likes to please others with his charm.  He gazes at the cup in his hand and notices the fish popping up to surprise him. 

That little fishy though alludes to the sign of Pisces which is the ruler of the 12 house of the zodiac and also ruled by the planet Neptune. Keep an eye on that Neptune energy though. While it all seems dreamy and romantic, there are other powers involved. 

Neptune is famous for its illusionary abilities, so the Page must keep himself grounded in reality and common sense. Not letting his heart rule his head, which is often the case with youthful inexperience.

This card is a gentle reminder for everyone for the month of November. It is advisable to examine things in a cool and collective manner, remaining detached from the issue rather than let our emotions rule our heads. Please heed this warning as there is a higher chance of being gullible this month in all forms of communication, that includes the written or printed word. So be careful about what you read and take as the truth. Remember the highly deceptive power of the planet Neptune.

Expect more news connected with water, the seas, oceans and lakes etc. Neptune rules liquids of all sorts and liquid comes in 3 forms, ice, steam (fog, vapour)  and liquid. Maritime issues will be prominent all November. As will drug and alcohol issues and unfortunately mental health issues. 

Bear in mind the Super full moon is on Friday 15th November. This full moon is called the Beaver full moon, and it will be quite large. Let's hope it is a cloudless night so we get a good look at it.

The  energy is transformative so change is afoot big time. Try to avoid political issues as they tend to be inflammatory at present. We will see more Naval and military conflicts on and around water in November. Drownings as possible at sea and in water in general, so please do not take risks and be extremely careful. 

Romance is in the air in November along with engagements and births, how lovely is that. 

I do feel that people engaging in spiritual practices need to be very careful, please be mindful not to get swept up in cults or taken in by charlatans and false or misleading teachings. It may be worthwhile doing a bit or research on the subject and also listen to your own intuition. What sits with one person may not sit right with you. Read reviews on spiritual philosophy  and stick with the well respected authors or you may well be disappointed or led in the wrong direction. Only to have to do a backtrack in your spiritual beliefs and studies. I have been there myself and learned to be more discerning. 

Please stay safe wherever you live in this world and take care of your loved ones.

Blessings and warm and fuzzy hugs

Alex

PSYCHIC PREDICTIONS FOR AUSTRALIA IN 2025

 REMEMBER ALL PREDICTIONS ARE POSTED IN OCTOBER AND ARE EFFECTIVE FROM THE DAY THEY ARE POSTED

Hello everyone around the world. It's that time of year again to do my psychic predictions. Kicking off the 2025 psychic predictions starting with Australia first. 2025 is a number 9 year, which means endings and new beginnings. It is also the year of the Wood Snake.

I have kept the predictions very short this year as I have had a very stressful year with my husband being very ill and having major surgery and then other things happening in my life. I did think about not doing any predictions this year, however I decided to do this in the end.

The number 9 covers limits, strength, completion, temporary stability, humanitarianism, philanthropy, solitude, security, wisdom, the unconscious/ consciousness mind, attainment, accomplishment and even pregnancy.

Astrologically the number 9 relates to the 9th house of the zodiac, of which the ruling sign is Sagittarius (understanding) Which covers religion, freedom, philosophy, scholarship, justice and generosity. However the negative effects are hot headedness, argumentative, bluntness, impatience, procrastination and exaggeration. The ruling planet is Jupiter (expansion ). This tells us the year is about law and order, and finances, which I picked up as I opened the tarot deck to start my predictions. 

So let me explain a little bit of information first. There are 3 houses of life in the zodiac, 1, 5 and 9.  As a house of life the 9th house rules the mind and spirit, hence it also rules religion, the super conscious, spirituality. The 9th house covers philosophy, higher learning, distant travel, law and also in-laws. 

The ruling planet is Jupiter, the great benefic, which has a 12 year cycle. It is benevolent with the protective urge.

Interestingly among the body parts Jupiter rules is the right ear. This is the ear that I have activated when working with spirit. I get a strong energy in my right ear as I tune in every day. This lets me know that I am tuned in to spirit. Jupiter also rules fatty tissues, the pancreas and upper forehead. 

 Jupiter rules big business, wealth, prosperity, the higher mind, higher education and reasoning, It also promotes health and growth. Jupiter is the law maker, the judge and helper. This sets the theme for 2025.

For Australia in 2025 there is a very sensitive energy, it is emotional and has Neptune energy infused, so one needs to be tuned in to the under emotional current of the Australian psyche, which is erring at times on the side of naivety and gullibility. This is due to global politics at present, things will settle down soon though.  The Australian public needs to be a little bit more objective with what is in the media and monitor their reactions accordingly. 

Australia is known for being a very compassionate nation, and is always there to help others in need, and this can be taken advantage of. Unfortunately the government does occasionally neglect the needs within its own borders and has to be reminded of that fact.

Government reform is highlighted for 2025 as this year is about law and order, being a number 9 year. 

People need to keep their emotions under control this year, there seems to be a lot of provocation and tension building up with the public, and the government must step up to hold this in check. Expect protests and people being hot under the collar for various reasons. The cost of living is still hurting ordinary people and so they are understandably tense as they struggle to survive and support their families. I do feel that the government will step up with more financial assistance here, remember this is a federal election year too. So money will be dished out to ensure the public vote them back in. 

Make no mistake the public are not in a good place right now and are quick to anger for many reasons.  Mostly to do with the cost of living, homelessness and religious conflicts, immigration, the health system and crime. People will push back against the government's inaction on serious issues. There are however people that are closed off and unwilling to listen to reason and the government needs to pay more attention to these individuals, especially extremists like the far right and far left. 

This year people will be cutting back on electricity, as in not using air conditioning to cool their homes because of the cost of electricity. This is just so unfair and adds to the already tense living conditions faced by many. Which will result in frayed tempers and more violence.

The good news is though, there will be a major turning point in the economy for Australia. So financial relief is on its way. 

 The federal government will be working very carefully to keep the economy under control and think very carefully over the actions it takes politically.  

 Business will also start to make a turn around, slowly but steadily. This is the effect of Jupiter and the number 9. 

Defense in 2025 will be a big priority, with the Royal Australian Navy taking on a more prominent role than the Australian Army, particularly closely monitoring and defending our coastline. There will be a couple of breaches of our borders, ( including air space) I feel this will be mid year with drones just testing the waters so to speak.  They will be intercepted, but this is a real eye opener for the government. And showing the need to beef up the monitoring of our air space and coastline.

More money will be given to defence to build up our defence capabilities and upgrading hardware, I do see the navy using Sonar technology and they may need more personnel to perform this task for underwater surveillance. Expect more recruitment into the military next year. Just slightly up from last year. 

Education and haulage are in the news also. With haulage it is not just goods coming into Australia but local goods having transport issues. Some goods may take months longer to arrive or are in short supply.  Sea routes will be changed obviously as conflict zones increase, thus affecting consumers. 

Visits to the GP are going to cost more, however I do feel that there will be a Medicare rebate to balance this. 

I do feel that Labor will win the elections but only just scraping in, they will lose some seats though. Mr Albanese has some very hard work ahead of him, he is no longer popular with the public or the labor party. I do see the Labor government working with big business to move Australia in a positive direction. 

I do not see the Liberal-Nationals being re-elected until the following Federal elections. Let's hope they can get their act together in the meantime.  

Expect changes to taxation, some tax relief is on it's way but I do not see it affecting low income earners unfortunately.    

I do feel the Australian government will change its stance on some hot political issues, as they are seen to be out of step  with allies. They are seen as the odd man out, and closed off to certain views held by the US. Australia is afraid of making any judgment calls that may cause offence. In doing this the government has made a rod for its own back with a peace at any cost outlook. Sometimes there is a time when countries have to stand together. Getting that right is not always easy. By mid year we will get a clearer picture of what is going on. Be ready for sudden and unexpected changes.

UPDATE: New laws, international drivers moving to Australia from 30/4/25

https://www.drive.com.au/news/migrants-may-need-to-take-new-driving-test-under-changes-to-licensing-swap-rules/

UPDATE: Getting tough on youth crime in Queensland. Liberals are just re elected, but they should also double down on magistrates who had out weak convictions. They need their guidelines to be more stringent and limiting their ability to go easy on violent offenders. This has been a problem throughout Australia for many years yet not one government will do anything about this. Instead it’s a revolving door prison system. That is if they actually go to prison, often it’s a smack on the hand. I don’t honestly believe that anything will really change and under 18’s know the system.

Tarot Card of the Month: October 2024, The Hermit

 

                                  Introspection, Guidance, Searching, Solitude, Wisdom, Education 

 Some meanings of the number 9 are initiation, completeness, male energy, aggression, pregnancy

Astrologically the number 9 covers the 9th House of the zodiac, Which is Long distance travel; as in overseas, higher education, religion, spirituality, the higher mind, consciousness, the law and in-laws

Astrologically the 9th house is ruled by Sagittarius and the planet Jupiter (expansion).

The Hermit is a wise old man depicted with his lantern of reason in his right hand (male energy is the right hand side of the human body) and his cloak of protective mantle of self possession, it also alludes to secrecy.  In his left hand is his staff representing the everlasting forces of nature, life, faith, strength, comfort and to lean on in hard times.  The number 9 vibrates to the planet Mars. Though it is also connected to the planet Mercury and the zodiac sign of Virgo.

As we look at the card we see the white colour under the Hermit's feet, which symbolises purity. Notice the black squiggly line at his feet, this is a snake and represents the Kundalini rising up from the base chakra, thus the snake represents spiritual energy. 

Now as I get in to the card of the month for October 2024, there are things that I need to point out. October is a volatile month with very sensitive energy, so please be very careful with what you say publicly and especially online. The energy this month is like a powder keg and it won't take much to ignite this restless energy. There is a need for fairness and transparency in regards to the Ukraine/Russia war. Leadership is uneven and next to useless, the EU is pushing Ukraine to wrap things up to move on to the next phase of rebuilding Ukraine. This is more about money than anything else and definitely not helping the public. More like big business lining their pockets and the enormous amount of money spent by the west is like water, easy come, easy go. 

There will still be ongoing problems with Ukraine and rebuilding may not start for another year or two, with another freezing winter on the way again. The Ukrainian government will not be happy with the deals set out by the EU and NATO, and this will expose the harsh  realities of truth that the western people will suddenly see that they have been mislead in their opinions of this terrible war. More is to come by Christmas and the western public will have had enough (not the fault of Ukrainian people), as they realise that they have been misled on some crucial points and they will not be happy. 

I also feel there will be a division with European people happening; as people have lost all faith in their leaders to tell the truth and also the refugee crisis impact on Europe as a whole. Factor in woke and left wing views.

I see the US at a flashpoint, not just on home soil but in the Middle East and the Asian Pacific.

The Hermit card is about seeking answers, solutions and finding one's way in the darkness or the great unknown in the current world circumstances. The Hermit has his staff to support him and his lantern of reason to illuminate his path and is reasoning which also covers his spiritual reasoning, which is vital for this month. There is a heavy air of mystery and deception over the month of October, be warned! 

The Hermit is walking on very unsteady ground here and if he misses his footing he could be injured or worse, not seeing the cliff before him and tumble. October is a precarious month and there is definitely no turning back now.  This is a journey humanity is on be it a spiritual one or a temporal (physical world) journey. October calls for critical thinking and insight at all levels.  It would seem our collective world leaders are short sighted and have their collective heads down looking in the dark for a solution. They need to be thinking long term plans not short term. Leave nothing to chance and put plans in place now.

Only small baby steps will be made this month, but there is a warning to be very careful and think of the long  term ramifications for the entire world. The general public of the world are rightly worried about the current world leaders, when it comes to the cost of living not being under control, nor the homeless crisis and the global refugee crisis with thousands of people on the move constantly. Then there is the threat of terrorism rising to a new level currently. 

Education is in the news in regards to the Universities not being safe places for many students on campus. This must be improved quickly and no disruption to student studies or safety. The Hermit card also covers education and lost items, leaving no stone unturned until one finds what they are looking for. 

Travel is highlighted again in October, heed the warnings set our by your government; and do not travel to places that are either not safe or where you could be trapped due to natural disasters, conflict or even running out of money. Make sure that you have the right travel insurance to cover you wherever you are going and factor in medical coverage and accommodation in the instance of being trapped overseas due to unforeseen circumstances. If you do not have enough money to survive on if you are forced to stay, then avoid traveling overseas.  

People are definitely on the move in October for one reason or another. Factor in mass protests and riots. These situations feel connected to Europe and the US mostly. Please stay very vigilant in October and DO NOT take any risks especially if traveling. Check your travel insurance, ask the right questions about what it covers and doesn't cover. Do not travel without insurance. 

Tensions in the Middle East are like a powder keg and are ready to explode. Understandably people are very frightened, so please listen to official warnings and do not go over there if you can avoid it. This will add to the the chaotic situation and remember there is limited medical assistance that you may put pressure on. The people there need their medical resources to live, and there are no spare medicines. 

I do feel earthquakes are a high possibility for October given the seismic activity recently, check online at GeoScience Australia  https://www.ga.gov.au/  or where ever you live in the world. 

Heavy rain is also indicated for the month in Europe and then will move to a big freeze possibly in November/December in parts of Europe, factor in Poland here. 

Public opinion is swinging like a pendulum in October and I again stress, be very careful. Things  can be taken out of context and things will get ugly. This is the effect of Jupiter and Pluto. Do remember that Pluto is in the sign of Aquarius from now until 2044 and it ain't pretty. 

Religious conflicts will be extremely highlighted this month. The world does not need this and I see the gap widening between East and West. I do not see a cap being put on this any time soon either. We do not need this negativity in our lives. Have we learned absolutely nothing from 2 world wars and a nuclear bomb? No, we haven't! 

I do not think world leaders are really capable or inclined to want to stop this runaway train wreck. There would have been a solution by now if they cared instead of wasting tax money on nonsense. This will come back on these leaders with the general public globally, as they feel they are being disregarded.

This is a huge mistake by western leaders, as this negative energy is building up within the public who demand answers. Answers are short on the ground and these leaders are deliberately avoiding taking their responsibility  for their actions. They had better check their footing because this may well backfire on these elected leaders.

The takeaway message for the entire human race is also, check your footing, just like the Hermit. 

Think first, check the path ahead. If it's dangerous to continue on this trajectory then you must find an alternative path to avoid disaster. 

On a positive note this month looks rather fertile, so do not be surprised to find yourself pregnant or hear of a pregnancy.  How sweet is that? This reminds me of the old saying; If you can't be good be careful and if you cant be careful buy a pram. 

Blessings to everyone and Warm and Fuzzy Hugs

US Federal Election 2025 and J D Vance

 I don’t know if other psychics are getting the same vibe from JD Vance, but that guy doesn’t just creep me out, he scares me too. I get the feeling that he will take over from Donald Trump at some stage and that worries me. Trump is a business man and is often saying inappropriate things, but J D Vance is a different kettle of fish altogether. Being a Leo star sign he will not be happy unless he is in charge of anything. Leo’s are leaders and never followers, they need attention, to be noticed and adoration from everyone. They don’t do second fiddle. So keep this in mind as you go to the polls America. 

I have not done an actual reading on JD Vance yet though I do intend to do that tomorrow. I don’t think he is going away. As I have said for the past few years there will be a Republican president for 2025, and he is a young dark haired man. I do believe that Trump at some point will hand over power to Vance or else Vance does the main work on the global stage. 

This guy is not shy and when push comes to shove he will not back down. He is patriotic all the way, on his own terms. I will update this post asap with more information in the meantime please check out this link below on the new US Republican Party president. I have been seeing this man since 2021. 

https://psychictarotreadingwithalexfulford.blogspot.com/2024/01/the-new-us-republican-party-president.html

Sunday 15/9/24

As a Leo, JD Vance is a leader Leo being a fire sign it is a star sign that puts the person in the heart of things to demonstrate their skills, abilities etc. Here We see J D Vance come across as a stable and well balanced individual with a legal and military background. In this layout, the knight of cups shows him protected and perhaps defensive. The knight can be seen as a messenger bringing a message of peace or hope to the team. He is prepared for the work to be done and is no shrinking violet in conflict but he must keep his temper under control.

He will try to uphold the law as he sees it, however he is only human and must guard against greed and all the other temptations. Currently Mr Vance has an emotional sea to navigate both in the US and globally. 

He must think very carefully over every action or inaction in his role from here on in. Because the eyes of the world are on him. He can get hot under the collar and needs to keep this in check. Vance has his eye on the ball and will not play second fiddle to anyone, that is a Leo or any fire sign for you. They need action and are need constant stimulation. Mr Vance is very firm on his decision making and he will defend them to the end; perhaps through stubbornness. Timing is the key, he needs to learn to bide his time before responding or reacting. I feel he enjoys the finer things in life that hard work and money brings. We know that he has military discipline behind him and has leadership skills from his time in the military to advance his career. He hasn't done too badly to date, and I see that he is a hard talking deal maker.

 It may be what the Republican party needs as a person out front showing strength and leadership with world leaders. He must not jump in without sound knowledge of subject matter unlike Trump. He seems to study the game board first them moves his players. I do think that he would make a more stable president than Donald Trump. Mr Vance does show signs of being fair, yet at times he can be closed off. Heaven help those that upset him because he will have them on toast. He does have a lot of clout behind him; this worries me though because it may not be good for the US as a nation nor for the international standing. This is due to the powerful backers behind the scenes, it is not about lives, or doing what is right. It is about power and money. I do not see this as a unifying of the US. 

I have already said I do not like the energy from JD Vance and I do feel that the public must exercise caution, as both sides of the political spectrum spell bad news for ordinary Americans and the world. We need transparent  unity and diplomacy to move forward and I do not see this happening. 

Tarot Card of the Month: September 2024, The 9 of Cups

 

                              Element: Water, Zodiac Sign: Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces 

                       Planet: Jupiter, Season: Autumn/Fall Cardinal direction: West

                     Gender: Female 

                         Spiritual, Wish fulfillment, Satisfaction, Sensual Pleasures

First I just want to jump in to the colours and symbols before doing the actual card.

Yellow, covers intellect, joy, happiness, confidence brightness and light in is positive symbolism,

negatively it is jealousy and cowardice. 

Blue, The heart chakra, healing, cool intellect, calmness, spirituality, peace, fidelity, truth, 

Grey, Spirituality, neutrality

The number 9 meanings some of which are limitation, strength, prudence, culmination, completion, idealism, temporary stability,  astral, consciousness. 

Emotionally 9's are calm, melancholy, satisfied or lonely

Reversed 9's are lacking in discipline, and self awareness , dependency, hostility, inner wisdom, humane, compassionate, non physical gain.  

The man sits front and center of the card feeling rather pleased with himself and his results. A labour of love perhaps. Behind him are 9 cups in a row symbolising his attainments. They sit on a blue cloth, but one must enquire what is the blue cloth concealing? Is something to be unveiled to the public in September? It could be but the man is waiting until the time is right (October?).

September is the 9th month of the year and marks the end of summer in the Northern hemisphere and the end of winter in the Southern hemisphere. The 22 September is the Equinox  to be precise for the Southern hemisphere. Virgo rules the first half of the month and is ruled by Venus, then we glide into Libra which is ruled by Mercury. Mercury goes direct from the 28th August after being in retrograde.

May I point out that Virgo rules the 6th house of the Zodiac and  health and work and is very organized and industrious, where Libra rules the 7th house of relationships and partnerships, the ruling  planet is Mercury.  

So expect health related issues to be in the news in September. As I look at the card, I see its a bright and cheerful card and cups are generally about love and happiness. The man on the card sure looks pleased as punch does he not. His red hat tells us he is very intelligent, passional about his work  and of his deeds.  This man is ambitious and has the drive to succeed. 

I notice the yellow and blue symbolise Ukraine again, as we saw them cross the border and into Russia in August. Who would have expected that in August? The same colours also represent the EU. The Ukrainian troops feel confident with their results and perhaps we are seeing a closer end to this terrible war. Putin is now in panic mode as he did not expect this to happen. I do not see the politicians and the heads of the Russian military being in a good mood because Putin will be in a rage over this and will do something stupid. 

Ukraine has the support of the West/NATO and armed to the teeth to do the job, there is no backing down yet. Russia will have to fight on to save face. This is seen as a major embarrassment on a global scale. I do feel that we are closer to seeing an end to this war than we are with the Israel-Palestine war.  I think that war will go in for a few years. That being because Iran is behind the scenes funding terrorists to attack US and Western interests. That ain't going to end well for anyone. 

Looking back at the blue cloth beneath the 9 cups, I am again wondering what is hidden, what is it that we need to know? That smug little man in the foreground has a secret.  Implying that something is happening in September. However it may not come to light until October. This is a political thing, and it could be connected to the US elections in November and Ukraine. 

There is an air of authority and superiority here and some truth will be revealed in September, I feel the second half of the month. So it is wise to pay attention to the news this month, as this is something big and very important involving the military and big business. 

France will pick a new leader, but not everyone will be impressed, this feels like another left leaning individual. 

Looking at the 9 cups lined up, keep your eyes on the middle one, above the man's head. Something shifts to center stage for an event, but not for long. A wild card situation will unfold  as a surprise, which I feel is taking place within America. Someone least expected comes to the front, I hear the words "shades of grey" with this. This is a very high profile man and some will laugh at this situation but not for long. 

I saw Robert Kennedy Jr's face, but he is out of the running and would not be suitable in world politics.

Now looking elsewhere, contracts are being made with the military and big corporations as I already pointed out. Which seems to be taking place in a hurry, the feeling is that many countries are trying to build up their militaries' in a hurry.

There will be more ongoing problems with immigration and refugees in the news, that of course will last for many years. There are travel changes at short notice in September, especially for international and overseas travel.  

Freight and haulage is also involved, rail transportation is connected to getting goods delivered on time.

Notice the little white blob above the cup third from the end; on the right hand side? This is a deliberate mark not a printing error. To me it reminds me of a communion wafer above the cup as if it is some sort of ritual or offering. Perhaps a sacrifice of something to come as it does have a religious feeling to it.

Actually the mans clothes look like robes, and not something worn by a manual worker or a peasant. One would expect such clothes on a member of the clergy or some sort of spiritual celebration. The man on the card is not a manual laborer, he is an educated man. His hat and its colour indicate this too.

The plumes on his hat also reflect this as a quick mind like Mercury, the winged messenger. This card also  signifies the element of water, so it is emotional energy too. Jupiter rules this card which also sub rules Pisces and Cancer, so it's all nicely tied in together.

The key word for Jupiter is expansion, so it's go big or go home. Jupiter rules wealth, leisure time, big business, growth and prosperity. It also covers long distance travel (9th house of the Zodiac). Jupiter is the judge and the lawmaker (9th house) but it is also a helper. The planets actions are orderly and beneficial to health and healing. We may expect some good news in  health matters  in September and perhaps that includes mental health. Though Jupiter is not the planet for mental health. 

Do expect good news with finances and perhaps a lucky streak winning some money. 

I wish everyone well for September and please stay positive no matter what is happening.

Warm and Fuzzy hugs

Alex

Tarot Card of the Month: August 2024, 10 of Wands

 

Struggles, being over extended, buckling under pressure, driven to succeed, attainment, originality, creative, knowledgeable 

This card rules Aries, Sagittarius and Leo Astrologically the card relates to the 9th House

Planet: Saturn, the Teacher or great malefic. Ruler of the 9th House of Philosophy, Religion, the higher mind/Superconscious, higher education. It covers long trips such as overseas travel. 

A lone person struggling with too much, he can't see where he is going and his head is facing downwards. Meaning he cannot see what is in front of him and sure to have an accident due to over extending himself. Tripping himself and dropping all his wands.

Notice there is one wand that looks to be touching the ground directly in front of him, which he needs to be aware of. To trip up will have a domino effect and upset his plans. Wands can be seen as something manifesting, coming from the non physical into the physical, this could be a thought coming to fruition in the physical world. In metaphysics, first there is thought which then manifests into physical reality in action or anything even illness because everything carries an energy vibration or signature. However here we are seeing energy in motion as actions driven to succeed in power, politics, political agendas and education mainly. It is original and creative energy.

The month of August is going to be a very busy month globally. Not just with the Olympics going on in France, but many world governments will be taking  action. Plans coming to fruition, political power struggles, intrigues and ideologies clash. Then there is academic struggles in August especially for those seeking higher education and exam results.  Factor in political issues and agendas pushed in educational settings such as universities.

August is a month to be vigilant, do not take on too much otherwise you will end up with a disaster. Keep it simple and manageable.  My guides are telling me to keep an eye on spending too, because there may be a shocker of a power bill or other large bills for some people. So hold off spending until you have paid your bills or you will be sorry. 

Mercury goes Retrograde on 5 August to 28 August just to make things a bit more spicy. Which affects communication of all sorts including words, intelect, reasoning abilities, technology (think the internet as it is part of the communication system),  transportation of people and goods. Mercury's actions are quick, uncertain and can be volatile.  Mercury covers travel, especially short trips (3rd house ruler). 

This is  Murphy's law in action, anything that could go wrong, will go wrong.😂

There is a clear blue sky in this card; which shows there is no clouded judgment, it's all in the open so to speak. This is not a happy openness though, it is conflicts of opinions, beliefs, action, war etc, because this Tarot card is ruled by Saturn (The Teacher or great Malefic) Saturn represents the urge for safety and security. Which aligns with the  9th House of the Zodiac which is also ruled by Sagittarius. Therefore please be mindful with religious differences and philosophies and higher learning settings. Don't poke the bear.

Canada will be in the news in August as the people are unhappy, so expect protests. I see littered streets with what looks like scrunched up newspapers, as the paper is black and white. Though I am not sure if this is in Canada. France as we know is in turmoil and I do not see this issue with the government settled until close to the end of August. 

The Greens look like they are being pushed to the sidelines in August as people wake up to their destructive antics. including their negative effect on other political parties such as labour/ ALP Australian Labor Party. I do not see this being resolved. Times are changing fast and the public are extremely wary of politicians. 

Africa descends further into chaos that no one seems to be capable of putting a lid on. Nor is it in their interests to put a lid on this situation. That old daemon Money and Power is behind the reluctance of course. China has been the latest country to plunder the continent in modern times. 

Russia will up their game in August by pushing the west, but China will be very cautious  with this because they do not want to jeopardise their own agendas. Same old, same old! 

More spies will come crawling out of the woodwork in August and getting caught. 

Turning back to the image in the card, I notice the man holds the 10 wands in an awkward  way. The wands are held showing most of them at the top and not evenly balanced at the bottom. 

Thus, top heavy like too much power at the top and little below. Is the lower end hidden power behind what is seen publicly? Too many chiefs and not enough Indians as the saying goes. 

The man is facing the right which implies the future. Though this card  also covers past, present and future too. This is aggressive energy here too, it's me first and self serving. Not good with Mercury retrograde biting you on the ass. 

What is the main goal in August? Politics and power, absolute power; driving political change. Notice that one wand touching the ground. There is a single important drive here, everything depends on this one factor. One main power, one main goal to be achieved. 

The card feels very political for August, no doubt about it. And after seeing how July has turned out this is understandable. There has been so much violence, including domestic violence, high crime, poverty, war and political upheaval driving unrest around the world. 

I feel a big name in politics will resign. This feels like a female politician in Europe. She has light coloured hair and is connected to the EU or UN. I am getting pulled to France and Germany with this.

I feel she is offered something too good to refuse. France will have its problems drag on as it seeks a new leader and this could perhaps bring about a new vote. France is now weakened and unstable (volatile) This of course was a deliberate act and action needs to be taken to plug this vacuum quickly before things get worse. The French people are not going to be tolerant for much longer. There is a strong similarity with France and the US with political factions trying to destroy both nations. 

Looking at world events, we see the UK, the US, Canada, Australia, the power seems to be way out of control due to very poor leadership. More focus and adjustment is needed throughout politics, business and everyday life needs. Which seems to be lacking in the respective leaders. 

Remember that bad boy planet Pluto is affecting everything too and its disruptive power will be here to stay until 2044. Pluto in Aquarius is not a happy situation it brings out the worst of humanity,  

Uranus (the freedom urge) the planet that rules Aquarius is humanitarian, scientific and is  known for sudden and unexpected events that are often violent. It is utopian and egotistical, it rules electricity, aeroplanes/ aviation, earthquakes and provides insight into nature's functions.  It is humanitarian and futuristic too and rules inventions. Remember too that Uranus is a breaker of traditions, so adding Pluto into the mix you can bet we will be in for a rough time.

Pluto is known for destroying and reforming  and fusion. Transformation is its thing.

Pluto governs amongst many things, the underworld, it rules the masses, subversion, waste, nuclear power and weapons. It rules obsessions coercion, disappearances, kidnappings. Pluto governs that which was hidden and exposes it, and also things that have been developed in secret.  It also covers dictatorships. An important point to remember is Pluto's actions are slow and deliberate and Pluto spends 12 to 13 years in each zodiac sign or house.   

Whatever happens now has long term effects so please keep that in mind. When the Genie is out of the bottle it ain't going back in.

I wish everyone all the very best and warm and fuzzy hugs

Blessings

Tarot card of the month: June 2024, 8 of Cups

 

Welcome to the Tarot Card of the month, June 2024. I hope everyone in the northern hemisphere has a lovely summer wherever you live. In Australia and New Zealand we are into the chilly winter weather until September and spring returns, brrrr. 🐧🐧

As I look over the card, I am drawn to the Sun eclipsing the Moon symbolising male energy which is active and aggressive energy and the element of fire dominating the feminine Moon energy which is passive, intuitive and the element of water. Add heat to water and it boils and you get steam and vapor.

The cups represent the summer season.

The sky in this card is clear, not a cloud in sight, the moon gives way to daylight.  Revealing all to the world. But this is an emotional energy here, and a deep emotional and psychological situation is being conveyed to us. As I examine this card I notice the tide seems to be out and the figure on the card is able to step across the rocks in the water to get to the other side. He is on a solitary journey retreating from the world. However there is more here than meets the eye though, and we are watching a transformation take place. 

The solitary figure could be in distress and seeking help, whether from his higher self, his inner light  or seeking a wise person to guide him. He is looking to the future as he is on the right hand side of the card and again that is symbolic of active male energy. This is male versus female energy, is not about men or women. It is an energy of polarities, as we all have a male side and a female side to us energetically and metaphysically speaking. The figure on the card has reached part of his journey, as he has moved from one side of the water to the other via the rocks he used as stepping stones.

He has support at his back which is the cups stacked up in the foreground, notice the yellow colour of the ground and the cups, this is a positive energy and seems like he has luck on his side. This figure needs reassurance though because he is unsure of this support. Is it strong enough to protect him? Can he rely on this support at his back? He doesn't know if these cups or people have his back like they say. Hence the apprehension and the figure is not stopping to rest, instead he keeps walking and there are obstacles in his path that he must negotiate, to get to the higher ground and safety.

It's just perception though, but still symbolic of only one possibility. Unless one stretches  past the right hand side rock and sails out through an estuary or bay to anywhere one wants. To freedom and a new beginning perhaps. 

In the card that higher ground on the right hand side is a cave where the figure seeks solitude to think and find a solution to his problems. In reality it feels like a political figure going to a large and important building to seek assistance and wisdom. Looking back at the scene in the card one could also say this looks like a big circle looping back to the beginning again. 

To me this says Zelinsky is feeling bewildered and is still seeking help to win this war where no-one seems to make any lasting headway in this war. Mr Zelensky is going cap in hand again and again asking the western allies for more money and weapons to fend off Russia. He cannot keep going like this, there has to be an end in sight.  Luckily the number 8 in this card does signify endings and new beginnings. But will the US, Britain and others come to the rescue again?

The timing could not be any worse with elections looming in the US and now Britain and there are no positive results in two years. This will plunge these nations deeper into debt and a cycle of pumping money in one direction 

Now looking at the cups stacked up in the foreground. There are two levels. There are 5 on the bottom and then 3 on the top, but notice 2 cups are sitting on the left  and 1 is sitting on the right. The top layer to me signifies the US and Britain and on the other side is Russia. There seems more support on the left side or Western side with 3 allies on the bottom row. Not necessarily 5 Eyes but a significant amount of power. On the right is Russia, with Iran and China and nobody wants' this to escalate, meaning steps will be taken to find a solution and transition to cease hostilities. I don't see this ending this year, but we will see light at the end of tunnel as there are gaps in the cards in two spots  indicating  that a breakthrough is going to happen perhaps in 5 to 8 months from now.

An interesting thing about this card is, it covers the dates 19/2 to 29/2 (Russia invaded Ukraine on 24/2/22) and the sign of Pisces. So let's hope that it will be over by February ‘25.That also makes the time from the war breaking out to its ending 3 years in total. I did make a post  a few years ago, before this happened that there would be a conflict or event would last 2 or 3 years, so let's hope this is it.

I don't see all of Ukraine staying in his hands, I feel an enclave will want to be independent of Ukraine. The problem with that is it is a valuable industrial region that the country makes its money from. I don't see Zelensky parting with that easily if at all. 

Surprises are in store for France with new laws passed. This is the start of a new look France and not everyone is happy about that.

The war office in the UK is in the news, and Australia's Anthony Albanese will have a minor health issue, it could be his appendix. This is nothing to worry about  and he will be fine in no time at all.

As I look at the card again I notice the black rocks sticking up out of the water on the left hand side. I feel this is connected to the ongoing issues with China in the South China Seas, nudging even closer to 

other countries borders.

More dirty tricks are to come, and if you look closely at the card, between the man's foot and the cup you will see a small elongated black shape similar to a submarine or a boat. This little glyph or spec looks like a vessel being intercepted, however I do not see this as a trigger for conflict.

 As yet it is still a cat and mouse game being played until Taiwan makes a decisive move some time next year. Taiwan asserting its sovereignty will enrage China  to a dangerous move and we will find the stakes being raised higher by China.   

We will see mothers making their voices heard in June over food insecurity, homelessness and poverty.

The plight of women and children will also be highlighted, not just in Gaza but places such as Africa and other places of suffering.  I see a woman with dark long hair, with a high public profile making a public speech on this issue. I see a woman like Michelle Obama giving the speech on tv. 

Sweden and Norway are also in the news for political reasons.

Thank you for taking the time to read my TCOM, please stay safe wherever you live.

Warm and fuzzy hugs

Alex
