There are a number of cards within the Tarot which are representative of various forms of balance, and the 6 of Pentacles is one of them. It can very often have to do with your finances, but I prefer to use the word “resources”, because the most valuable resource any of us has is our time. And I always say, “Time is the most important thing we’ve been given”.

You could be doing anything today from paying bills, to trying to balance your checkbook. Your generosity with your most cherished resources could come into focus today, as this is a card of sharing, and even generosity has its limits. Learning to share, with balance, and to be able to recognize the needs of others, as well as your own, is what helps to keep you on an even keel. It is not selfish to remember to do you once in…

Persistence and determination are two words which you hear me use frequently, and today is no exception. The 9 of Wands is our surviving against all odds card, you know, no matter how weary you may be on your journey, every time you have been knocked down, you rise again. If you need a little inspiration today, cue a little ‘Eye of the Tiger’, made famous by the ‘Rocky’ franchise, it is absolutely perfect for a 9 of Wands day, and will pump you up and have you feeling invincible in no time.

Remember, you didn’t come this far to quit now. You can make real progress today. Changes often need to be addressed one at a time, so as to make them more readily absorbable into daily life. Turn around and take a look back; see if you can even see where you started. Feeling strong now!

Happy, Imbolc, Candlemas, St. Brigid’s day

St. Bride  by John_Duncan -1913

“I am older than Brighid of the Mantle*…

“I put songs and music on the wind before ever the bells of the chapels
were rung in the West or heard in the East. …

“And I have been a breath in your heart.

“And the day has its feet to it that will see me coming
into the hearts of men and women like a flame upon dry grass,
like a flame of wind in a great wood…”

~ Winged Destiny by Fiona MacLeod (William Sharp: 1855 –1905)

Welcome to February! The Queen of Wands joins us as our third Wands card in a row, to kick off the shortest month of the year, which will prove to be a game changer for many. It is eclipse season, and we are only a day past the Full Moon Total Lunar Eclipse in Leo, and on our way to the Solar Eclipse in Aquarius. The. Space. Between. Yes, it is always quite eventful, and there are changes around every corner.

Today, our Queen of Wands, a/k/a Queen of Fire, represents your ability to take charge of a particular situation, or even life itself. This Queen has a vision, and her passion for what she believes in is unrivaled…her fire never goes out, she just keeps on trucking. After seeing the Ace of Wands yesterday, one can not help but think that the vision you have for change is growing…

Full Moon blessings to all! Today is the Full Moon Total Lunar Eclipse in Leo, and it looks as though the Universe has decided to step in with a bit of Divine Intervention. This is a positive eclipse, and the Ace of Wands is prepared to light the fire of change for you. The Winter Olympics begin in nine days, and whenever I see the Olympic torch, it always reminds me of the Ace of Wands. In this clever depiction, the Ace is a paintbrush, and you my friends, are the artist, creating the masterpiece which is your life. You have the ability to paint the canvas any way you desire.

We still have the entire month of February ahead of us with zero retrograde planets. The potential for change over the next few months in your life is massive, and the Universe is passing the torch to you. What
