Choose who you want to be
Choose who YOU want to BE. Get curious, be unapologetically yourself, strongly root your foundations and drive forward. This week's message in a nutshell! Page of Swords We have the Page of Swords with the energy of youthful curiosity. It doesn't matter what age you are. You can still have a beginner's mindset when it comes to learning. This card may suggest you are restless and have a lot of ideas. Maybe you aren't sure how to get them all out into the world. This card speaks of intelligence, communication and being inventive. There is an air of doing lots at once - so make sure you keep those feet on the ground! Judgement Judgement reminds us to drop the mask. It is time to shine your light into the world. To be unapologetically yourself. Be who you came here to BE! Let your soul essence out. Embrace all parts of yourself - the light and the shadow. We are soul, spirit, consciousness and matter. In an act of radically self acceptance, forgive yourself for hiding up until now. And step forward into the light of your soul. Your higher self is calling! Ace of Pentacles The Ace of Pentacles shows up with a positive omen of success. But you need to plant the right seeds and tend to the soil. This means having discipline and determination. Creating solid foundations for the life you want to live. Everything is possible - there is an air of optimism with this card. It shows freshly rooted new beginnings. Hold on to that optimism. And take ACTION - go and make things happen! The Chariot The Chariot hammers this point home. YOU are in control of your destiny. Nobody else is. So choose who you are becoming and run towards it. Act with conviction and consistency. If you feel pulled in opposite directions coax the energy back in the direction your soul wants it to go. Tap into the messages from your higher self. Take inspired action and trust the process. What a message! Watch on YouTube here. If you read the cards and want more clarity in your readings then grab "Untangle your Readings" here free.

Personal Responsibility - Pentacles & Swords

Personal Responsibility - Pentacles & Swords
Pentacles and Swords this week as we move into February. We've left January behind and you may have mixed emotions about that. Perhaps you don't feel you've got as far as you wanted to with your "new year, new me" intentions. Let me please remind you we are only 32 days into a new year - give yourself some grace. Maybe you are glad January is over and done with. It can often feel like it has 101 days rather than 31. February does have fresher energy - as both February and March are the only 2 months this year with NO planetary retrogrades. Now that might challenge you - if you are used to blaming planets when things don't go your way! Dare I say that personal responsibility may be a theme this month and next?? Remember that this is an '8' year. That means we need to have determination, drive and ambition as we manifest our dreams. It is the year for entrepreneurial spirit. A year for finding balance between the spiritual and the physical. We also have solar maximum approaching. So the cosmic energy is intense. Later this month we step into the energy of the Wood Dragon with Chinese New Year. There will be times when tempers may flare and hot headedness shows up. We only need to look out into the world at large to see the anger, unrest and fear. It is our job as soulful people to be the anchors and hold the light. To be lights in the darkness, showing people that there is a better way. Our cards this week are reflecting much of this energy. The 5 of Pentacles shows up to remind us that we need to shift our focus from lack. Rather than hanging our heads and only seeing problems, we need to squarely address them. And then look for the doors of opportunity that will shift things for us. The Knight of Pentacles reminds us that we have to take charge of our lives. We need to plant the seeds and build strong foundations. It's about finding the joy in the journey rather than being annoyed that we haven't reached the destination yet. And the Queen of Swords breezes in to remind us to keep a cool head when everyone around us is losing theirs. Her calm demeanour offers wisdom and clarity. Check your communication this week - both inwardly and outwardly. Be the voice of wisdom and step away from gossip as you level up this week. You can watch the full card reading on YouTube here or on Facebook here If you want to join the circle please check it out here.
Potent Energy - Full Moon in Leo

Potent Energy - Full Moon in Leo
Potent Energy - Full Moon in Leo and Pluto in Aquarius! What potent energy! Today we have a full moon in Leo and it is bringing all sorts to the surface. Heightened emotions, tension, being seen - even if you don't want to be! Add to that the fact that Pluto has moved into Aquarius and will stay there until early September - and we have a potent energy mix on our hands. Pluto is giving us a taster of what the next 40 years will be like - so we gotta get used to it. Things are changing and shifting - even if you don't want them to! Full Moon This moon will be giving you a shove in the direction of looking at parts of yourself that you may have been hiding. And Pluto in Aquarius will be asking you to find your community or your tribe. It's time to bring in a new world. And that means letting go off the old ways of thinking and behaving. The cards have reflected all of this and more this week. We have the Lovers, The Queen of Cups, The 3 of Swords and the Empress all in play this week. So the cards are also full of this potent energy - with two Major Arcana cards coming out to play! Here is a summary of what I've talked about in today's full reading. The Lovers The Lovers, symbolising our need for deep rooted connections and partnerships. Humans are not solitary creatures - we need people around us. What is your circle like? Is it time to find a space where you can really be yourself? Where you can find yourself and feel like you belong. This is becoming more and more important this year. Queen of Cups The Queen of Cups, the imagery on this card is about tapping into emotion and intuition. Lots of water and flow in this card. Looking upwards, palms open and receptive - awaiting divine guidance and intervention. But remember we still need to act on our guidance - awareness without action is worth nothing. Three of Swords The Three of Swords highlights our dark night of the soul. The pain underneath the serenity of the Queen of Cups. When we begin to heal and shift and change, we need to allow the pain to surface. This is also hugely symbolic of allowing the old things to pass away so we can welcome in the new energy of the Aquarian era. Anything that is not evolving and growing will become increasingly uncomfortable now. I also feel that this card is representing the pain the world right now and we need to ensure we are doing what we can to bring love, compassion and healing to our fractured planet right now. The Empress The Empress brings the hope of a new world. New beginnings. Nurturing energy and you can see she is drawing down the moon in the imagery of this card and it once again reminds us that we are all connected. As the moon moves into its fullness today, take time to honour it and your needs. What is coming up for you and what needs to change?

Healing, Spirituality & Surrender

Healing, Spirituality & Surrender
So, this week, let's talk about healing and spirituality. I’m so excited for the 5-day HEAL experience next week—shoutout to everyone who signed up! It's always a blast diving into meditation, card work, and a bit of everything. I’ve been having some cool conversations about healing and spirituality with some of you guys. If you haven't shared your take, hit me up with a comment or message and let me know what healing and spirituality mean for you. Now, onto the cards for today. There's a theme—kind of like a tale of two halves. One side nudges us to surrender, let go of the need for instant answers and control. On the flip side, we've got some good vibes with the Ten of Cups, promising joy and love. Using my favourite Light Seers Tarot deck by Chris-Anne, so let's break it down - here is a brief synopsis of what I’ve talked about in today’s reading (to see the cards - click here). The Moon: Riding the Waves of Emotions The Moon card sets the stage, telling us to loosen up and surrender. Life's a bit like floating in deep water under the moon, not sure if you're sinking or swimming. It's OK to not have all the answers right now, tapping into intuition without the pressure. Four of Cups: Choosing Where to Look Then there's the Four of Cups, a reminder to watch where we're putting our focus. It's easy to get bored or dissatisfied, especially when things aren't going how we want. But hey, there might be some good stuff just out of our sight. Time to lift our heads and check out the rainbow. Ten of Cups: Building Our Own Happiness Now, the Ten of Cups brings some positive vibes—love, support, and heart-centered goodness. It's a reminder that we can create our own happy ending by spreading a bit of kindness. Even in the midst of life's challenges, let's focus on the good things. The High Priestess: Grounded Wisdom Finally, we wrap up with the High Priestess, bridging the gap between the everyday grind and the spiritual realm. She's all about being connected but staying real. Grounded wisdom, you know? Surrendering to the unknown and trusting our gut brings a deeper understanding of life. So, this week, it's about finding that sweet spot between letting go and finding joy in the little things. Dive into the unknown, choose where you focus, spread some love, and let wisdom flow. Excited for the HEAL experience next week, and if you haven't signed up, you can do that now - click here! Looking forward to hearing your thoughts. Catch you all next week!

Tarot Insights 16th November
The Fool makes a reappearance this week in our reading - and it is a welcome sight, following the 10 of Swords and 2 of Swords. I have noticed lately that many people are in a state of fatigue. They have decision fatigue and quite a few have compassion fatigue! I've been on the receiving end of unkind words as have many people within my circle over the last few weeks and months. When did we all decide it was OK to verbally attack people in the name of "just being honest hun"?! But that's not what I want to talk about today - we can all do better. It is time we remembered that we are all members of the human race. Imagine if we all took radical responsibility for how we showed up in the world! Just imagine. Noticing when a post or an email provokes a response in you that feels uncomfortable, and diving into the inner work of why that is, and not launching an unprovoked attack on someone in their inbox. Noticing whenever something bothers you and causes you to want to rage - what needs aren't being met? Imagine if we all took the time to do the inner work and to dive deep before reacting. Imagine if we all operated from a place of integrity, peace and kindness with each other. With compassion and understanding - rather than judgement and blame. What a different world it would be! This week the cards are showing me that tough decisions need to be made. It is a time of stepping out of the stalemate of indecision. Time to make a choice and then follow it through - even if you don't know where it will lead. It is time to step up to the plate. Tune into your gut and out of your head. Overthinking has led you to a place of indecision where there are too many options and variables. And this has left you stuck in the mud. It is terrifying to not know what will happen next but it is even more terrifying to stay stuck in one place, tying yourself up in knots. Your decision may feel painful. It might mean the end of a relationship, a career, or an old way of life, that no longer works for you. Your dark night of the soul may have left you wounded but remember it is from these painful wounds that the most potent seeds are sown. As you welcome the dawn of a new day the light is brighter than before and you've made space to start again. To take the leap of faith into the new beginning. How exciting! I have a feeling that 2024 is going to be a really great year. Particularly if you continue to build your solid foundations and set in motion the plans that you want in place to carry you through the next 10 years. The time really is now! A message we have been getting hammered home from the cards for weeks now. So let's dive in and take a closer look. You can watch the reading on YouTube using this link or you can watch the Facebook replay here. As always let me know your thoughts and whether you resonate with the cards this week - I love to hear your comments about them! Register for Soulfire here.
The time is now - what are you scared of?

The time is now - what are you scared of?
I am loving the cards that have come up this week - they positively jumped out of the deck this morning! You may have seen my post on FB last night about the amazing day I had yesterday. I had the absolute pleasure of having a VIP day with Hannah Walker. We went deep! She pushed me and helped me open up to things that were deeply buried. Things that had been holding me back. You see, we all have blind spots. And we don't know what we don't know! This is the beauty of working 1:1 with someone. Having someone who knows when to coach and get you to dig deep for your own answers, and when to mentor to give the answers and help you find the right path for you. Someone who you can trust as you dive into your shadow. Knowing that you are held safely and will be guided through the things that come up. And ... then building the confidence in you so that you can take action on what you've learned in the session. We spent 6 hours together yesterday. Yes, we may have discussed the books we are reading (Throne of Glass series - go check it out!) and we may have had a deep appreciation for the Ian Somerhalder photo that sits behind me in my office, but we also did the work. And sometimes I felt deep emotions coming up as a result. I have invested heavily in myself in the last 12 months. Because the mentors I work with are some of the best in the world. And they are more than just "business mentors". And so am I. I'm not just an excellent Reiki teacher - I am a damn good business owner with a thriving business to prove it! And it's time I remembered that and owned it! In order for me to continually grow and develop to serve you better, I have to invest in myself. And that means spending 6 hours on a VIP call going deep - getting uncomfortable at times and then finding the deep reservoir of magic that lies beneath the shadow. It means investing in programmes, putting skin in the game, and learning from the best in the world - so that I can help you be who you want to be. Even if you are also working with some of those same people - you still need me in your corner. Helping you implement the things you are learning - otherwise you are in danger of being the perpetual student. Spinning your wheels, thinking you are moving forward when actually you are still procrastinating. Hiding behind a wall of planning and mind-mapping, writing the to do lists and creating the vision boards. All very valid ways of getting ideas out of your head and on to paper - but what have you actually done today to move the needle forward? Have you booked that client in? Have you created that post on Facebook or Instagram to let people know you are there? Did you show up live on that video to share your light with the world? Did you write the chapter of the book that's hiding inside you? Taking action is the thing that makes the difference. As James Clear says in Atomic Habits, "Success is the product of daily habits - not once in a lifetime transformation". This week we have Judgement, The Fool and the 9 of Cups. Judgement reminds us to shine our light unapologetically. To let our true essence out into the world without judgement. To open our hearts and be who we came here to be! The Fool tells us that we are on the cusp of a brand new beginning - and we have to be brave enough to take the leap of faith into the unknown and trust that our plans will come to fruition. And the 9 of Cups assures us that our dreams are coming true and the life we are wishing for is at hand.

Tarot Insights - Your Passion and Purpose lead to Fulfilment
What a week it has been! How are you - did you have a fantastic Halloween? Here we are in November and I have to say, I'm really getting excited for 2024. I've been making plans, getting new courses ready, getting waiting lists out into the world - lots of activity Alongside this activity I am also listening to my body and soul. I'm making more time for the things that I know are good for me. Taking time in the mornings to ease into my day. Writing Morning Pages, reading a chapter of Atomic Habits and making notes. Practising QiGong and quiet reflection with my cards. And then I spend some time networking and working on content so that it comes from a soulful place. This switch in my morning routine has been an absolute blessing. I've noticed I am so much more productive. So much more creative and inspired! It has led to the creation of Soulfire - the 3 day event that you, no doubt, have seen on my socials. Please do make sure you are registered for that free 3 day event - it's going to be so good! Alongside that it has given me space to create new soulful business mentoring programmes and to put together a much needed community - Soulpreneur Space. I've literally just created the waiting list for it - check it out. I feel we sometimes write off this time of year. We nearly throw it away and forget that it is the prime time to wrap up your intentions for 2023 and to plan ahead. And also the perfect time to begin creating those moments of self care and awareness in your day. If we aren't creating our lives and stepping into the driving seat, then we are simply existing. Running on autopilot and that is never a good thing. The cards this week are a reflection of this - we have the 9 of Cups, 10 of Cups and the Emperor showing up again. On first look, it seems all hearts, flowers and emotions with the cups but on closer inspection there is more going on. Listen and find out what the cards have to say or jump over to YouTube to watch and see the cards https://youtu.be/JXI1s4nFQek Join the waiting list for Soulpreneur Space - https://hub.rocksnrituals.co.uk/soulpreneur-space-waiting-list Register for 3 day free event Soulfire - https://rocksnrituals.co.uk/soulfire
Be the leader of your own life!

Be the leader of your own life!
It is time to be the leader of your own life. The cards say so. And your soul knows. Doesn't it? The 3 cards from the Light Seer's Tarot deck this week are clearly showing you a path to self leadership. We have the 2 of Wands, The Emperor and the 10 of Cups. What fabulous cards! I have a real bee in my bonnet about being your own boss. I think it is because several years ago I was made redundant. And it came right out of the blue and blind-sided me. It left me feeling stupid, for not seeing it coming, and made me feel like a failure. I had never been "let go" in any previous jobs. It was a horrible feeling. I was reminded of it recently when someone close me lost her job unexpectedly and unfairly. The anger that welled inside me as she spoke of how she had been working away with her manager laughing and joking all day, completely unaware that anything was wrong. And 5 minutes before the end of her shift he told her he was letting her go. They had no reason to let her go - she was an excellent employee. Always punctual, great work ethic and a fast learner. Clearly someone had a personality issue with her or was jealous but for reasons unknown, they let her go. The bottom fell out of her world. She was stunned. She was upset and it left her feeling like a failure. But what makes me so proud of her is that she used that pain to get straight back out there. She has applied for dozens of new positions and will be snapped up in no time whatsoever. But it reminded me of my redundancy. Of when I was left out in the cold. And how that sparked an inner fire in me which has led me here. I have used that fire and drive to build my own business, and with the help of some amazing mentors I am thriving and leading the life I could only ever dream of before. And that is what is showing up in the cards this week. The 2 of wands asking us to step out of the comfort zone. To follow the yearning of our soul for adventure despite the fear we feel inside when change comes calling. The Emperor - asking us to step up and be the leader of our lives. To take action, rather than being the dreamer just planning and planning with nothing to show for it. And the 10 of Cups - the happy ever after card which we can achieve when we step into the driving seat of our own lives! Check out the You Tube video here - https://youtu.be/rgL4nlKT4jQ
