Our 'Readings' are based on providing a favourable possible outcome - we will explore with you the options available and what is required of 'you' to reach those outcomes. Decision followed by Action is a requirement for any change to occur. Where there is change there are wonderful possibilities.
YOUR PAST
Acknowledging the situations/people that have impacted your 'Past'. Unfortunately, you can unconsciously carry the weight of those experiences with you. We will encourage you to look at what serves your Essential Self and what is no longer needed for your journey forward. Do not over burden yourself with unnecessary baggage
Imagine the Tarot Card - The 10 of Wands. Imagine the 10 Wands is a symbol of your 'PAST'.
This card shows a young man under the light of the moon, struggling beneath the weight of 10 Wands.
When the moon is present, her radiance is soft and does illuminate all beneath her , some aspects will be hidden. Are there experiences in your 'Past' you have chosen to keep hidden, yet you carry them still? In this instance, this card can be interpreted as the burden of keeping things buried deeply within oneself, over time they accumulate and we become weary with the heavy load.
YOUR PRESENT
Perhaps you are feeling overwhelmed and lost. Perhaps you feel restricted and trapped by a situation, thinking there is no way out? Are you unsure of which direction to take? Fearful the choice/decision you make, will only make things worse?
Imagine the Tarot Card - The 8 of Swords. Imagine the 8 swords is a symbol of your 'PRESENT'
This card shows a blindfolded women surrounded by 8 swords, she is on her knees and her wrists are lightly bound with a golden chain. The world around her is enveloped in soft grey mist.
The suit of swords relate to our mind/thoughts. The women has chosen to blind herself to her surrounding - could she have convinced herself, that if she cannot see it, it does not exist. She imagines that she is surrounded by mist and cannot see her way out of her current situation, even if she removed the blindfold. The appearance of water at her feet indicate aspects of her emotions - Fear is an emotion. She is paralysed by her fear. She has bound herself to inaction
Should she remove the blindfold, she will realise the chain that binds her wrists, can easily be removed. The Swords that surround her, she can stand and walk between. The mist does not encompass her entire world, she need only walk forward and she will eventually find the Sun.
