Tarot: On the cards

CHENNAI: There are Animal spirits that help us immensely . One of the most popular ones is the wolf that can help in most situations. Especially courage and fear. For instance, have a jelly fish in the house to maintain harmony between husband and wife, a photo would do. We are always connected to animal spirits.

For no problem between spouses- a rabbit photo in the bedroom will help. Keep a picture of a hare to stay away from criticism and verbal attacks. For mediation and conciliation: crane’s picture will help you to remain calm and composed. Use owl’s picture for wisdom.

ARIES (20 MARCH - 20 APRIL)

While you could have everything you want as the World card suggests, there is a cautionary note here. The Hanged Man suggests that everything needs to be within limits.

Also being attached to material things could take a backseat.
