Tarot- On the cards

It is a beautiful, Divine feminine Angel whose purpose is to remind you to pay attention to your Inner Guidance! When you are connected and following that path, there is nothing you can’t achieve! Many view Haniel as the Angel of Joy. She comes across as an intuitive guide pointing to a good path. Haniel encourages us to stop searching for fulfilment outside of ourselves, instead of bringing us within, to explore trust, confidence and wonderment in the adventure that is our lives. Follow your passions, find enjoyment in the now, and learn to observe your ego needs as an opportunity to transform fear into joy. A long time ago before deadlines and the need for alarm clocks, our ancestors lived their lives in flow with nature and the cycles of the moon. We have become detached and unaware, even dismissive of our own natural cycles and rhythms. Haniel brings back a sense of harmony and balance to our lives through gentle nudges to reconnect with our core self – to follow our inner guidance. Release, Realignment, and Remembering all occur during the Moon’s lunar cycle. Most people associate a turquoise light with Haniel’s energy. This light ray may appear in visions, dreams, and/or during meditation and is a sign that she is near. With turquoise being a perfect blend of blue and green, most believers associate Haniel’s light ray to be symbolic of harmony and balance. 

ARIES  

20 MARCH – 20 APRIL 

You could be looking outwards for the fulfillment of career goals- this means out of the place where you are right now and to other places where you believe the opportunities are better. There are many hurdles to cross before you get there though. The Two of Wands suggests that you do indeed have better things awaiting you, but you will have to be a bit more patient and wait for times to align with your desires. It’s not for too long. Also, this is a time when you will have to keep emotions in check or you could be making hasty decisions that will be counterproductive to your goals. Strength is what you need at this point and that is the card that has made an appearance. This also means some of the base feelings will have to be kept firmly in check or you could be in troubled waters. Not being able to do as you wish makes you feel isolated and to some degree lonely. You feel others simply don’t get you. 

TAURUS

20 APRIL – 21 MAY 

A Taurean is generally a strong tough person who will see things through no matter what. And this applies mostly to women subjects. The Queen of Swords shows clarity, clear thinking and a general tendency to lead and make others follow. This week you will be called upon to do a lot of that- decisions, actions and many things will depend on your strength and might to take things forward. There is also a focus on earning working hard and focusing on making money which is indicated by the Seven of Pentacles. You will be preoccupied with ways and means to earn more money so that you can feel really comfortable. And for that, the opportunities will come or at best will be facilitated by the younger lot who are there in your life. The Page of Cups also suggests new additions to the family either through work partnerships or through personal relationships. 

GEMINI 

21 MAY – 21 JUNE 

Those born under this sign there are a lot of plans for the future. However, make the plans but don’t attach yourself to the outcome so that you are able to go with the flow and not be stressed about what is going to happen. The Three of Pentacles suggests that there are others who are also part of this planning so you will have to keep pace with them for proper outcomes. But the Seven of Swords shows that you are somewhat secretive about what you actually want to do making you a bit stealthy in your dealings. Ideally, you want to do everything yourself and not allow others into your ambit. You could even take others’ ideas and adopt them as your own. Do guard against such things. The Temperance card comes to show you the importance of keeping head above waters when it comes to conflicting emotions. 

CANCER

21 JUNE – 23 JULY 

There could be celebrations or at best some happy gatherings where you can have a good time this week. The Three of Cups brings this cheer right now and you should make the best of this time. Friends, family and other loved ones will be on the scene making you enjoy in a ‘spirited’ way. The Three of Wands suggests work in distant areas where overseas connections could play a role in your earning capacity. You need however all the support to do that from co-workers and others who work with you. That is because deadlines and other things are in alignment with the schedules. The Devil card shows some sort of bonding or binding with committed partners. Sometimes this could be a good thing making you feel anchored but at other times it could be a millstone around your neck. How you choose to view it will be the way ahead for you 

LEO

23 JULY – 23 AUGUST 

It is fairly clear who the boss is right now. This is a male who will take important decisions and the others will abide and go with it for the sake of harmony. This is indicated by the Emperor card who is leadership personified. In the big picture, this is not a bad thing- you are absolved of certain things and are free to pursue what you want to do instead of worrying about ruling and making decisions. That said the Ten of Wands suggests an overload of work desires that have all come together and make you feel like you are carrying a huge load. There are too many things to attend all of a sudden all at the same time. But this is for a short time till things sort out and fall into place. The Wheel of Fortune shows that times are improving. Things that felt incomplete will show signs of being done. 

VIRGO

23 AUGUST – 23 SEPTEMBER 

The Ace of Swords shows you are very clear about your goals and what you desire. The sharpness and clarity of purpose are there but you wonder how you will go about it. Somehow circumstances seem too conducive for you to forge ahead. The Page of Wands suggests that you will be helped by those who are fresh and younger so that their energies can carry through the most ambitious of plans that you may come up with. The Page also is a symbol of new beginnings being in the right direction. The Judgement is a card of rebirth and regeneration and centers on making your own assessment of a person or situation. And if conflicting opinions or judgemental people are causing you to doubt yourself — usually because they have a vested interest in keeping control. It can appear when a course of action has not worked out and you need to start again 

LIBRA

23 SEPTEMBER – 23 OCTOBER 

The Six of Cups promises happy lasting love and especially having a family and finding a settled home. If you are older you could already be with the right person but may not have found your dream home or lifestyle. It can also indicate an addition to the family whether through birth or an extra member coming with a new partner. It will be harmonious. It can also herald a return of a face from the past or unexpected contact with childhood friends- or even a former love. The Four of Cups shows that you need to make decisions rather than let matters drift. This card also suggests that you are not really fulfilled in your life, living space and it’s time you decide what you want and go for it. What we regret most is that we never try and the current one may involve leaving familiar comforts. 

SCORPIO

23 OCTOBER – 22 NOVEMBER 

The Magician signifies creativity, ability and the need to think outside the box. This is a good sign that you could possibly set up your business or run it especially if you are in the creative field. Now is the time and chance to put plans into action and test your creations in the marketplace even if you start from small beginnings. This also indicates that you are a powerful personality and doors will open for you. This is also a good time for speculation investments, networking media and interviews of all kinds. Any form of communication is favoured to ask and your demands are likely to be met. The Hierophant could augur that you could get into some kind of learning which might seem long but will lead to a great career. This also shows that there is a person in your life who could be a wise teacher, a friend or a family member who will help take things further 

SAGITTARIUS

22 NOVEMBER – 22 DECEMBER 

This is indeed a good week with work, love and popularity being at the top of things. The Ace of Cups shows that work is good and has picked up considerably and you are getting all the applause for things already done. You are being acknowledged and you are raring to go even further in your attempts to be a big name in your chosen field of work. The Two of Cups shows a happy state of a committed relationship which is going in the right direction. There could be a more formal signing of this so that the world knows that this couple is there to stay. The Star card shows limelight and attention on you as you seem to tick the boxes for those associated with you. The week is good so make the best use of it to sign deals that you think are important. 

CAPRICORN

22 DECEMBER – 20 JANUARY 

Calmer, more prosperous and happier times are ahead after a period of unrest, uncertainty. The Six of Swords also shows the reinforcing of ties and commitment with spouses, partners and those to whom you are tied by vows and promises. It would also mean that this is a relationship you need to work on – and it involves emotional support as well as the mandatory ones. It also signifies some sort of travel in the next couple of months so you can be prepared for that. The Eight of Wands shows the importance and preoccupation you could be having about work and the direction it is taking. The fire and ambitions are all there, but the direction needs to be decided. It also augurs well for unexpected travel or fulfilling long term ventures. It could also indicate a career change. 

AQUARIUS

20 JANUARY – 18 FEBRUARY 

The High Priestess is about knowing yourself. Whatever age you might be. She also asks you to ask yourself what is it that you really want out of life? Sometimes you might be feeling like you are alone but being alone is not the same thing as being lonely. Learn to value your own company and this comes when you are dealing with pettiness and gossip at the workspace. Do rise above it and learn something from it all. Don’t reveal confidence if you don’t have to. Also, there is a need to be more tolerant towards those not as smart as you. The Page of Cups shows some interest in those who are doing fresh and innovative things and you will feel pride that they are able to do so much. The Five of Wands brings to the fore some hostility and friction. 

PISCES

18 FEBRUARY – 20 MARCH 

This is a time when you could be feeling isolated despite being with people — there is that inner silence that seems prominent and heavy at times. You are unable to see others who are there to support you. You are overwhelmed by your feelings. Lift your head and look at the nice things in your life maybe you won’t feel so alone. The Queen of Cups is indication of what you are going through. Overwhelmed and struggling to control your emotions which feels like overpowering you. Also, you seem to be surrounded by a host of negative people – do try avoiding when you are in this state of mind. The Queen of Pentacles suggests that you are on top of things.
