This coming Full Strawberry Moon is in Sagittarius and it comes days before the Summer Solstice. Plus it is going to be quite fierce with a lot of new and full-on energy changes taking place. It’s in Sagittarius so prepare to face facts and learn to hear home truths that may rock not just your boat but your entire world. This being said knowledge is power so if you can prepare your pathway by looking at what you are prepared to admit to and release you will find the entire experience quite cathartic. There are few real challenging aspect apart from a wide conjunction against Jupiter, still retrograde and he moon squares Neptune in Pisces. So big loud mysteries will burst forth to challenge you. This moon is a very testing moon and it will ask you if you still believe enough to keep on your pathway towards a higher consciousness on track. Are you ready people? Your faith in yourselves and the Universe is going to be tested and you will certainly feel this strongly over the next fortnight. But without being tested then you achieve nothing. Faith is always ready to test you again and again so get ready and be prepared. This moon will bloom full on 17th June 2019 at 9.32am British Summertime (08.32 UTC).
To celebrate the Summer Solstice I’ve created an Yggdrasil, Tree of Life reading to help all Starseeds prepare for the incoming energy changes over the next two weeks. There are many new energies coming in now that the three days of solar flares are over.
This reading is not a rule book you must follow. It is a general reading for all Starseeds. Take that which you feel is helpful and follow only that which you feel will enhance your life around this full moon.

Gemini
1/ The Cosmic Roots
The Sacred Tree is the axis between the world of the Earth, the branches that reach to the heavens and the roots that flow down to the lower world. The Shaman climbs in and descends to all the realms seeking guidance and healing for everyone. It is now time for you to diligently seek solutions to problems that you have been too scared to face. It is about letting go and exchanging that which has ended for that which has yet to be, What do you seek? Manifest it and it shall be yours.
2/ The Trunk Issue
Juniper is the card of the spirit realms and offers protection to those that travel there. It is the gatekeeper to the mystical spaces between worlds and keeps them apart and protects from evil. Providing you are acting with the best intentions Gemini this is an excellent time to still the body and focus on psychic work. Remember that with Juniper you are protected.
3/ The Mind Map
Stars. This is the wish-fulfilment card of the Lenormand deck. Reach for the stars and they will grant you more than you hoped for. This card speaks of sublime energies flowing towards you. Awe inspiring wonders are on offer to you. All you need to do now is let go of the past pain and open yourself up to the new transcendent gifts that are being offered to you right now. This card can also represents recognition for a project or skill and also fame if that is what you are seeking but remember to seek everything with the best intentions.
4/ To be Released
The Knight of Cups. This Knight is the furnace of fire and the deep oceans of water. He is the mutable watery sign of Pisces and while he forever seeks a soul mate, like all Pisces people he in fact has too many lovers and yet seeks more. It is time to release this type of lacklustre love that has no true purpose. Beware of this love as it is not truly honest or lasting. Let go of being fickle and forgetful.
5/ To be Accepted or Challenged
Two of Wands. This card is the manifesting magic of the Magician but rather than being the source of universal creative power it is about personal power manifested on earth. This card is about ideals and choices made with vision. Can you find your goal and bring it into reality? It also represents ideas and passions that you let flow through you. It is important to mention that to drop focus now would be to lose all.
6/ Personal Growth
The King of Cups. This is a Zen card of the soul Gemini. To grow you must master your emotions and understand not just yourself but also others. Find a way to let all emotions and feelings enter your field like a tide. Process them and let them wash back away without letting them control you.
7/ To Blossom
Death and the Ten of Cups. So two cards presented themselves and since this is Summer Solstice I let them both stay as they speak of such tremendous joy and happiness promised. Death is all about transformation and rebirth into something more amazing and the King of Cups is that challenge Gemini. Can you find compassion in your heart to achieve the bliss offered by the Ten of Cups? I’m sure you can if you find time to commune some endings with the full moon. Ask Gaia who rules the moon for help to blossom.
Cancer
1/ The Cosmic Roots
Totem. This is about belonging. This is about finding your story when you are lost. Creating a totem of you life as a symbol for your future. Totems represent power and protection. Create the symbols you need to represent your life so far and then begin in your mind’s eye to carve a new symbol you hope to include in your unfolding journey. Don’t include Dollar signs though Cancer. Let them go so they may return. Find something in your core beliefs to expand upon for your future.
2/ The Trunk Issue
Indian Bean is the card of vitality. This tree is a slight trick in that it does not come from India nor does it produce beans but it is about health. This is about curing the body and mind so that the soul might also be healed. Take care of what you consume and how you behave Cancer. Look after yourself. Embrace everyday with enthusiasm and you will feel more vital.
3/ The Mind Map
Snake is about the sacred energy in all of us. Snake is the promise of Kundalini in us all. Kundalini is the divine twin snake energies that meet at our hearts. Seeking to unite the two snakes is a deeply powerful experience and not something to toy with. Here the snake is alone and holds the golden cosmic egg of creation. Creation is inside all of us. We are the keepers of our own potential and this card reminds us that we are the key to our own successes. But we have to work to create the divine inside us.
4/ To be Released
Death. This card is not about the skeleton so often depicted. This glorious card actually refers to transformation. It is all about letting go and allowing the cosmos to press a reset button on your life bringing about changes and new hopes. This card should excite you as it allows the chance to create something new and more honest as you step into the future. Relax and enjoy the wind of change as it washes over you but do not resist the changes that are coming they are intended and natural.
5/ To be Accepted or Challenged
The Five of Wands is the card or battle or conflict. The snake asks you to awaken to a higher spiritual pathway and with Death’s transformative power you will need to accept that this is not an easy step to move forward from. It will feel fraught and difficult but that is how you ascend to greater wonders. Accept the challenge and fight on to success.
6/ Personal Growth
The Hermit. This card is Virgo and is ruled by Mercury the messenger. Virgo is bright and analytical and is willing to share advice with any who seeks it. The contemplative nature of this card is essential. It is only by looking inward that you can discover through the self that which you must shine outwardly to others, to help them grow too.
7/ To Blossom
The Hermit. So to grow Cancer you must search your soul and win some personal battles. But once all that contemplation is over you must step back into the world as the Hermit. I know this sounds odd but you must seek your inner truth and then light your lantern and go into the world to shine your inner truth on others to help them to reach up with you.
Leo
1/ The Cosmic Roots
The Divine Rogue. This Spirit God is the Trickster and represent contrasts. The rebel who fights social norms and overturns comfort. This is a disruptive energy to shake you down and make you laugh. This trickster fires hungers in you like sexual yearnings and wanderings that demonstrate both the dangers and the benefits of impulsive behaviours. He asks you to stop being so grown up and reconnect with your inner child. He plays tricks in the half light mocking you. Find a way to trust that lust and love can form a union. Remember to always look at things for a second hidden face under the mask.
2/ The Trunk Issue
Eucalyptus is the tree card of balance and is the bridge from your trickster roots to your branches. Eucalyptus is about adapting to your environment. It is sacred to the Aboriginal people and is used to make didgeridoos. It would be easy with the Divine Rogue to make a joke about blowing your own trumpet again Leo but it is a call to seek a new inner voice. As your branch cards will demonstrate there are a few more tricks up your sleeve you are yet to master.
3/ The Mind Map
Ship is all about travel, farewells, departures and new journeys that you instigate yourself. It is all about setting out on a new adventure but to deep within yourself.. You feel like a lack of commitment around you is creating a new agenda, to set sail to new horizons. So pull up the gang plank and set off on the high seas to your soul. It is time to start over and begin a new life if you are brave enough?
4/ To be Released
The Magician. And here is where the Divine Rogue is playing games with you. You must release that selfish desire to create a world that is egocentric. Time to put the old ways to bed and stop making yourself the centre of everything. In Tarot the Magician steps out of the void and manifests a world in which everything is for himself. Those days are over. The High Priestess or Gaia rules the moon and she will banish you if you cannot find a place for others in your magical manifestations.
5/ To be Accepted or Challenged
The Magician again. Yes Leo your challenge is to be a different kind of Magician. I know this seems confusing but believe me when I say that another type of magic exists. It is time to manifest with Gaia as your guide and to bring into existence magic that benefits others too.You are a natural leader but now it is time to create space for everyone else.
6/ Personal Growth
The Four of Swords is the card of healing and the way for you to heal is to let your ego slip away so that you might embrace the stillness that the card suggests. It is time to stop and think and integrate a new passion in your heart to reach out to all around you. You will need time to cool off that fiery spirit and find greater peace and compassion.
7/ To Blossom
The Magician again. Haha. It’s that Trickster energy toying with you again. It might seem that you have no mountain to surmount but you have a journey that is so tricky you have to laugh. You must look deep inside to understand how you present yourself to the world and find a way to make your Magi force act with total Gaia control. This is not an easy task but a challenge that will make you King go the Beasts again.
Virgo
1/ The Cosmic Roots
Arrow is a message of surprise. This is about being guarded with your choices. Do not share your thoughts too openly. Sit alone Virgo. This is about choosing the perfect moment to strike. When you decide to shoot your arrow be certain that you fire it clean and fast at the chosen target you have selected. Tuesdays are the best days for the releasing your arrows so plan well and let the moon wax full before you set your final intention.
2/ The Trunk Issue
Indian Bean is the card of vitality. This tree is a slight trick in that it does not come from India nor does it produce beans but it is about health. This is about curing the body and mind so that the soul might also be healed. Take care of what you consume and how you behave Virgo. Look after yourself. Embrace everyday with enthusiasm and you will feel more vital.
3/ The Mind Map
Flowers are often called bouquet, nature’s jewels. They bloom and while they flower they offer the gifts of joy and wonder. Unlike Flowers are a burst of luck as they have been cut and placed in a vase with a limited shelf life but they bring happiness and they are full of sweet nectar. You are likely to receive some kind of Cosmic gift. This card is about accepting the gift the cosmos offers to you freely and humbly. You are due the chance to rest in the universe’s embrace.
4/ To be Released
Ten of Wands. This is the card of feeling overwhelmed but it also a 10 so it is about ending that feeling. You have been taking on too much and you have felt overly responsible for so much recently. You have focused on so much detail you can no longer see the bigger picture. This is Saturn in Sagittarius and that is where this moon is too. Saturn likes to create pleasure so the burdens will have to be put to bed along with yourself if you catch my drift. Take a rest and let go of the reigns for a bit. Don’t be overstressed.
5/ To be Accepted or Challenged
The Hermit. This card is you Virgo and is ruled by Mercury the messenger. Virgo is as you know bright and analytical and is willing to share advice with any who seeks it. The contemplative nature of this card is your essential challenge. It is only by looking inward that you can discover through the self that which you must shine outwardly to others to help them grow too. The Hermit with his lantern is about not fearing the darkness and the unfamiliar but embracing it. He strolls out as a seeker of new knowledge.
6/ Personal Growth
The World. Shoot that golden arrow now if you know where to aim it? Perhaps Flowers has helped you to understand your direction with that new gift? You have reached a Karmic goal and this card is about seeing the completion of a life cycle. It tells us to understand all the great achievements you have made to reach this cosmic restarting point. It is time to feel renewed and to find the success you have been seeking. Bask in the divine light and seek out new opportunities to tackle as you move forward feeling renewed. Many of you will be rewarded in some way for your efforts to arrive at this new beginning. Celebrate what you have achieved and embrace the new and exciting passions that this full moon is offering you.
7/ To Blossom
The Hanged Man. This is Neptune suspended in ether, the great spiritual guardian of emotions. The hanged man sees the world from a different perspective. Neptune is asking you to dive inside yourself and swim to the very bottom of your emotions. He will guide you to focus inside yourself to seek your solution. Put a toe into the ocean of your soul and like a pearl diver bring your new treasure to the surface and let it bask in the moonlight.
Libra
1/ The Cosmic Roots
Crow is a powerful and clever trickster. Crow is a shaman teacher and offers surprises from which to learn many lessons for the future. Crow is smart and able to negotiate the invisible world as well as the physical world. Crow offers the understanding that you have the gifts right now to walk the path of your own choosing. The shipapu stick is used to seek grace from the gods or to increase fertility. Crow sits in bold meditation on the stick for crow feels equal to the gods and is here to remind the gods to be humble too. Learn to enjoy and use your powers but do not take yourself too seriously.
2/ The Trunk Issue
Date Palm is the tree card of grace. Just saying Libra that grace is the core energy you need to remain true. Its leaves are fronds that may be woven and its fruits hang in succulent pendulous bunches that crunch when yellow and fresh and yet transform into nature’s own toffee. It is possibly the oldest cultivated food plant and features in many myths and tales including in Egypt where Nephthys, protector of the dead offers new arrivals trays of dates. Let go of all that is dead. Find grace to bend with the wind of change libra. Become flexible but upright.
3/ The Mind Map
Scythe. This card is very clear about cutting away the old. But it’s more than just an abrupt severance of things, ideas or people. It can also mean to cut the crops to reap the harvest. We reap what we sow. It is also about cleaning up or tidying everything to start afresh. But it can also be a warning to not to cut yourself in the process of changes taking place around you. Scythes are designed to slice crops and grasses neatly and cleanly so this card can mean to make a quick clean break from something that is not needed. Scythes are designed to effortlessly clear large areas so think wisely and aim for your new goal.
4/ To be Released
Nine of Pentacles. This is Venus in Virgo and she settles in for a period of luxuries and fine dining. The Nine of Pentacles is all about prosperity and abundance but are you holding on to these pleasures a little too strongly? Are you becoming frustrated when prosperity seems to fizzle out? Has the material become more than the spiritual Libra? It very easy with your eye and your love of good things to be rather out of balance. Let it go.
5/ To be Accepted or Challenged
Nine of Pentacles. Again! Oh yes Libra and now you see what crow does. He is playing with your sense of self but showing up a sense of selfish greed too. Your challenge is to seek balance between the needs of others which is your natural order and how you nourish yourself. Stop pretending the fine things are to share with others, which you always do share and admit that some are for you alone. Seek this inner truth.
6/ Personal Growth
The Wheel of Fortune. Jupiter rules this card and giant king of the planets rules luck. Everyone will be involved in feeling the influence of this planet but for you this is about reaching a key moment in your journey to something brighter and shinier. Whether the wheel lifts you up or takes you down is your decision. You must do the introspection to create the lift to a higher sphere of joy through education. Learning is key to your success and as an air sign you love thinking. Idling about will not raise your karmic wheel. Think wisely at this opportune moment you are being gifted with.
7/ To Blossom
The King of Cups. Crow is offering you the chance through the material world and possessions to let emotions blossom within and to be more Zen with your own feelings. Balance empathy to others with fairness to yourself. This Monarch is enthroned by water, the source of emotional wellbeing. Old and wise to the truth of love and its endurance. You will feeling everything deeply just now but do not let this make you feel distant from others. Reach out and support those who are lost in your Kingdom of Empathy. Be benevolent and kind it suits everyone but lead others to see this.
Scorpio
1/ The Cosmic Roots
Twin gods. These are prevalent throughout many mythologies not just Native Tribes. They often represent good and evil each fighting for supremacy. They are also Yin and Yang, night and day, life and death or summer and winter. Sometimes though they are also about working together. This is about stepping back from a difficult decision and waiting to see the best solution. Or look inside yourself and see all the opposite sides of you that are hidden away and decide whether to keep them and learn from them or to let them remain crushed and secretive.
2/ The Trunk Issue
Acacia is the tree card of protection. In Egypt its wood was used to make coffins to protect the dead and the sacred barge of Osiris too in Thebes. Osiris was originally a nature god before ruling the underworld. A change from a world of light to a world of darkness. Trust that you are being given protection Scorpio. Don’t hide under a stone waiting to sting a passerby. You sensitivity is heightened just now so return to the light and the world of nature again.
3/ The Mind Map
Stork is all about returning to home from far away. This doesn’t always signify a physical journey from overseas back to a nest but is here to say return to the light. It often tells us it is time to step back to reality from the heady and intoxicating dreams into the real world where real progress is made. Storks know and understand direction in life and they are strong birds with a massive sense of where they are heading as the fly through life. Become more sure of the stork within you.
4/ To be Released
Seven of Swords & Eight of Swords. These two cards speak of feeling trapped, fear and believing something has been taken from you. These are false thoughts that you are manifesting over and over again Scorpio. You are hiding under that safe rock afraid to step out. See these thoughts as outdated and not true to your destiny. The Twin Gods are beckoning to you to observe what is making you fearful and to let it go.
5/ To be Accepted or Challenged
Hierophant is the male Magi energy transformed into a High Priest. Accept your true light Scorpio and shine again. This card is about wisdom. The need to search out new knowledge or to be educated. To seek a new path through listening to your intuition. You are at a point of imbalance but you are ready to move forward now. Look deep inside yourself for a new path with new values. Realise that you have authority inside you to create new ideas. Do not stick to old beliefs. This is a card ruled by Taurus and Venus so it is about loyalty and tradition so try to be true to yourself. Venus points to spiritual treasures being unlocked so let your inner wisdom guide you.
6/ Personal Growth
Six of Cups. Scorpio rules this card and it is being fuelled by the sun burning down on your memories and nostalgia. You are being asked to reflect on childhood memories or on sunnier times. Has something triggered a need in you to be wrapped in a great comforting blanket? Be thankful that you are tenacious and a survivor. This is sentimentality to help you lick your wounds and move forwards with a renewed focus. It is from understanding the past that we are able to move forwards again in the light with renewed vigour.
7/ To Blossom
The Sun is the most wondrous card that you can have to blossom with. It is absolute joy and happiness. Time to relax and let all the stresses dissolve. There will be harmony all around you. The sun is the centre of our solar-system and this card means focusing on ourself as the centre of our existence. This card is also about seeking your inner child and playfulness once more after remembering the nostalgia that will help you grow to this point. Feel safe and assured that everything is going your way for the next month.
Sagittarius
1/ The Cosmic Roots
Snake. Snakes are highly symbolic of energy, cycles and renewal. Snakes shed their skins and begin over many times. Snakes have duality and connect to the two energies of the earth and heaven often known as Kundalini. This is the connection of all the energy centres and just like rainbow it symbolises the joining of the sky and the ground and is also associated with rain. Without rain there is no rainbow and so no snake to act as a bridge between the two. Shed your skin and renew yourself Sagittarius this is your moon. It is also the midpoint from your birth month.
2/ The Trunk Issue
Holly. Holly is associated with your birth month and so you are being reminded to think both backwards to your birth and forwards to your rebirth. This is the tree card of truth. You are seeking a new truth Sagittarius. Seek answers in both directions from your past and where you wish your future to be. Do not let fact and fiction muddle and bleed like the red berries. Instead use the focus of the sharp leaves to prick your conscious to see the truth in life not the fibs you clothe yourself in.
3/ The Mind Map
Tree speaks of the connection to the natural world but it also sees us as trees. Steady slow growth and maturity. Having good grounding and roots reaching into the earth to keep our vital life force replenished. This is a card of learning to just be and not over thinking everything. Just pause and let the winds breeze through you. This is also about knowing who you are. Ancestry and roots. Good stability to move forward from and especially about being grounded.
4/ To be Released
Three of Cups and Ace of Cups. These two cards are all about letting go of false dreams and abusive love patterns. Not just that you allow to be inflicted on yourself but also those you inflict on others. You are the creators of your own reality and in this deck the Three of Cups suggest an empty celebration. Clearing up after the party again and again hoping the next time the love will be true and last. But how will it last if you do not change the pattern of the love you seek?
5/ To be Accepted or Challenged
Two of Swords. This is a card of decisions but more importantly it is about balance. It often depicts a blindfolded figure hold two swords aloft. You are that person who refuses to see the truth in love and keeps raising new love in the same way. It is time to slice away the blindfold and ask yourself how you love not just others but how you love yourself.
6/ Personal Growth
Ace of Cups. Aces are number ones, the beginnings. Limitless potential. All the remaining cards in the suit of cups stem from this watery well of pure emotion. It is about new loves. This Ace is the emotional river that flows through the water signs Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces. This really is the sign of new love with limitless potential. It is time to open your heart to love’s true potential. Do not be scared to feel the emotions that pour through you as this moon waxes full. Open yourself so that you might receive all the love that flows your way but be certain you have a new perspective on love.
7/ To Blossom
Strength. Strength is about patience in the face of conflict but here it is also about quelling the beast within. The Maiden and the Beast. The Gaia force and the Magi as one and also two extremes. Strength is Leo and the sun. The primal beast that is King of the jungle being quelled by Gaia to see deeper into all things and especially relationships. However Strength is also about being the civilised person who can tame the savage beast that is in their soul. With just one hand the woman controls the lion. Can you tame the monster inside you Sagittarius? After all it hasn’t been best serving your true needs.
Capricorn
1/ The Cosmic Roots
Shaman walks between the worlds and is the giver of thought and liberty. His passing between worlds has taught him a great many things and as a teacher he can guide you to new pastures but you will need to be brave for Shaman has suffered greatly to acquire knowledge. Knowledge costs and Shaman can guide you but you must pay the price for understanding and freedom. Look within yourself and see this as a time to gain greater compassion for others. Look inside yourself and be brave. Shine a torch on those things that hold you back and remove them. Cut out that which hinders you progress to love.
2/ The Trunk Issue
Bristlecone Pine is the tree card of persistence. These trees are honoured for their longevity and some are believed to be the oldest known living organisms. Their needles can stay green for over 40 years. it ask if you are finding difficulties in life just now? But it also speaks of understanding that you have the power to overcome all obstacles if you just trust yourself. Persist with your goals and learn from your setbacks but do not give in.
3/ The Mind Map
The Moon is often given far too narrow a definition in many Lenormand readings. Shadows and darkness. Activities at night but this does not account for the fact that the moon comes out during the day too. The moon rolls around the Earth and commands the seas. She rules our emotions every 28 days. The moon is about mystery, love, emotions, dreams and hopes. The moon is the magic body that transforms our existences more greatly than any other celestial body and the moon will offer you answers to your dreams if you ask it to. Wishes will be granted and successes guaranteed if you focus your thoughts and manifest your heart’s desires. Open to the moon and let intuition flow through you.
4/ To be Released
The Four of Swords is the card of healing and the way for you to heal is to let your ego slip away so that you might embrace the stillness that the card suggests. It is time to stop and think and integrate a new passion in your heart to reach out to all around you. You will need time to cool off that fiery spirit and find greater peace and compassion.
5/ To be Accepted or Challenged
The High Priestess. This card is the mystery hidden in the depths of the moon. The High Priestess safeguards the veil of dreams and her appearance is asking you to dream a brighter future for yourself. Like the masculine Magician before her the High Priestess is the very elemental core of magic but she does not need her hands to conjure. Her thoughts alone create all she requires with her feminine glory. You are being giving a divine connection to sacred mysteries and you must not waste this wonder. Everything you are experiencing right now is natural and divine.
6/ Personal Growth
The Moon. Your spread is littered with moon cards and cards that rule the moon so settle down and let intuition flow through yours its all around you just now. The Moon shines through the darkness offering a lit pathway to something new. The Moon in Tarot is actually linked to the watery sign of Pisces. The moon commands the tides of the seas and oceans and the flow of emotions. It is also the eleventh house of secrets and illusions. What is the secret you are holding on to? The lie of your existence. Let the moon take that falsehood away and release you from its hold over your emotions.You really need to sit with the moon and reflect on how to find your inner psychic truth.
7/ To Blossom
Ace of Cups. Aces are number ones, the beginnings. Limitless potential. All the remaining cards in the suit of cups stem from this watery well of pure emotion. It is about new loves.

Aquarius
1/ The Cosmic Roots
Dreamcatchers are circles of willow that represent the path of the sun and the moon, woven with a web of yarn that is most often dyed red. It is decorated with beads and feathers. Mostly given to children it is hung above the bed to capture bad dreams and keep the child’s sleep full of positive thoughts. When the sun rises the bad dreams are dissolved. This card is asking you not to jump to conclusions but instead to consider all actions before deciding on your new course. Patience and knowledge allows for revised plans and sensible pathways. Pause a little with this moon.
2/ The Trunk Issue
Camphor is the tree card of clarity. Holding back to understand and seeing things more clearly. Camphor is seen as invasive in some parts of the world but in India it is burned to honour Shiva the god of destructive transformations. You need to pause and sit in stillness and learn to focus on breathing right now Aquarius. You need to see the situation more clearly and this will be achieved through stillness at this full moon.
3/ The Mind Map
Dog is about trust and loyalty. It is about learning to trust yourself again. Dog is a card that asks you to consider your behaviour. To be more like dog is to be more honest in all things ever the naughty things we are all tempted by. Be tempted but do not lie to yourself as to why you did those things. Be honest and trust in your inner truth more. Dog offers unquestionable love and loyalty but the lesson is to accept love with an open heart. Dog seeks comfort but also has a crystal ball show the psychic power dog possesses.
4/ To be Released
Justice is not always a card of good as the scales of justice can tip in any direction but choices had to be made and decisions reached. Then the Scales of Justice can balance again and the cosmos will feel like a warm comforting blanket you are wrapped in. Something has felt unfair to you Aquarius and maybe it was but it is through harsh realities that we grow stronger so it’s time to let it go.
5/ To be Accepted or Challenged
High Priestess & Ten of Coins. This is an odd but hard challenge Aquarius. The High Priestess rules the moon and speaks of mind magic. She is the Gaia force godhead and is here to unblock you of punishing thought patterns that are holding you back. The Ten of Coins is the card of happiness and material comforts but you are not letting them flow to you. You are being asked to focus your thoughts on this and let Gaia’s wealth flow to you in avalanches of abundance. But that injustice will need to be released first.
6/ Personal Growth
Three of Cups and King of Wands. The Three of Cups is celebrations, harvest and reunion but the true cosmic message of this card is to seek a reunion with yourself.

Pisces
1/ The Cosmic Roots
Feather is a symbol of high honour. It is a spiritual badge of the connection between the holder or keeper of the feather and the spirit of the bird and the greater cosmos. It represents trust, strength, wisdom and power. This glory is in the lightness of the feather and the strength within its structure that allows the bird to take flight and soar into the air. As an oracle card it teaches us to take the fragilities within us and transform them into strengths. Wear your weaknesses like a shield of honour and use them as a great power.
2/ The Trunk Issue
Willow is the tree card of Harmony. Its roots spread far and wide in the search for moisture and emotional understanding. It is a tree of the moon and many female deities are associated with it including the Sumerian goddess of the underworld. You must show your respect for all forms of life which will allow you to build lasting relationship with everything. Treat others as you wish to be treated yourself.
3/ The Mind Map
Key. The Lenormand Key is a point of balance in life. 33 is achievement in activities and the third master number. It is time to place the key into the lock and open the door to a successful new life. This card is a guarantee of success and wishes coming true. The key is the solution to a problem, the door to a new house, the final piece in the current project of your soul journey. It is also potential and finality to a situation.

Five of Pentacles & Three of Cups. The Five of Pentacles is the card of feeling shut out and abandoned. This is not true but merely the projection of a false truth your are manifesting. It is time now to see that the Three Cups that also sit abandoned on the rock are there because you are not living in your true light. Wake up and change the reality your are projecting for yourself. You have the power to change your situation if you can only stop thinking the wrong thoughts that are harming you.
5/ To be Accepted or Challenged
The Moon shines through the darkness offering a lit pathway to something new. The Moon in Tarot is actually linked to the watery sign of Pisces, you. The moon commands the tides of the seas and oceans and the flow of emotions. It is also the eleventh house of secrets and illusions. What is the secret you are holding on to? The lie of your existence. Let the moon take that falsehood away and release you from its hold over your emotions.You really need to sit with the moon and reflect on how to find your inner truth.
6/ Personal Growth
Eight of Cups. Things change and life is circles and sometimes we get too big for some circles and we slip out of others where we feel we are too small. It’s time to change direction. The fog of confusion is lifting and it’s time to become an heroic adventure seeking pilgrim once more. Find a new purpose in life and buy a ticket to a new destination. If your way is barred or blocked and you cannot find a way through then step aside and create a new path in a fresh direction. Life is about remaining open to change. Seek change and new energy will flow towards you in return for your courage.
7/ To Blossom
The Hanged Man. This is Neptune suspended in ether, the great spiritual guardian of emotions. The hanged man sees the world from a different perspective. Neptune is asking you to dive inside yourself and swim to the very bottom of your emotions. He will guide you to focus inside yourself to seek your solution.

Aries
1/ The Cosmic Roots
Smoke is all about purification and you will need to cleanse yourself once you identify the deadwood around you and let it go. Smudging ceremonies are used to release toxins and enhance medicines. Many things can be burnt not just sage but cedar, sweetgrass and of course tobacco. Herbs are from the earth and the smoke rises to the heavens so the ceremony connects the two so it’s fire with air. Get some smoke going for some healing outdoors and focus your cleansed energy on the moon. The Cosmos is with you.
2/ The Trunk Issue
Cherry is the tree card of Purity. In Japan the Cherry is highly esteemed and is the symbol of springtime. But it’s summer solstice you bleat. Yes but it is springtime for your soul on its upward journey. Do not complicate your life with anxieties but find the innocence of fresh starts and new beginnings as this moon offer a chance to end old ways. Keep your thoughts and intentions pure and honest. For those in the northern hemisphere it is time to enjoy the fruits of this tree. Maybe grab some cherries and sit with the moon?
3/ The Mind Map
Ring is not just about engagements and marriage but it is also about connections and contracts with all things. This means is the union of commonality, the desire to reach out and connect with someone or something. It can also serve as a warning to break free from an unhealthy attachment to something. See the magpie taking the Ring? Who is that ring for? The magpie outside the window is intact a reflection of the bird itself in a mirror. This union you seek is with yourself first then you can fly out and search for others.
4/ To be Released
Seven of Swords & Nine of Swords. These two cards speak of anxieties, fears and feeling something has been taken from you. These are false thoughts that you are manifesting over and over again Scorpio. You are hiding under that safe rock afraid to step out. See these thoughts as outdated and not true to your destiny. This is why you must Smoke yourself to cleanse away these false thoughts that are blocking you.
5/ To be Accepted or Challenged
There is much going on around you at present. Everyone is calling for you to restore order to their lives. You are being asked to quell the tempest in others. This angelic spiritual card offers the chance to heal the past and to reset yourself for a new future. This is about balancing past traumas to heal your mind, body and spirit. Talk to the moon to ask for a new supportive energy flow and let compassion be you guiding force. The celestial spirits are standing beside you to help support you through the changes ahead. Temperance adds water to the wine to soften its effects. Find a way to soften the effects of emotions that are holding you trapped with anxieties.
6/ Personal Growth
The Hanged Man. This is Neptune suspended in ether, the great spiritual guardian of emotions. The hanged man sees the world from a different perspective. Neptune is asking you to dive inside yourself and swim to the very bottom of your emotions. He will guide you to focus inside yourself to seek your solution. Put a toe into the ocean of your soul and like a pearl diver bring your new treasure to the surface and let it bask in the moonlight. This will assist your healing that Temperance offers as your challenge.
7/ To Blossom
The Four of Swords is the card of healing and the way for you to heal is to let your ego slip away so that you might embrace the stillness that the card suggests. It is time to stop and think and integrate a new passion in your heart to reach out to all around you. You will need time to cool off that fiery spirit and find greater peace and compassion but the rewards will be vast.
Taurus
1/ The Cosmic Roots
Kokopelli The Demiurge. This is the young god of music and fertility. When he plays his phallic flute the sexual snake energy awakens in all plants and creatures. Kokopelli and his consort birthed the divine race and so they honour all children with special talents. When this personal energy stirs it must be embraced it even though you do not know where it will lead to. Kokopelli is about connecting to the divine unknown and not being frightened to take risks.
2/ The Trunk Issue
Elm is the tree card of communication. Elm is your friend and has live alongside us for thousands of years. Elm is one of the rare woods that does not rot in water as you do not dissolve when emotions overwhelm you Taurus. You remain grounded to the earth. Speak clearly to others so that they understand you. Use the cosmic force of Kokopelli to sing your song with clarity. Do not expect other to read between the lines. Be sure of your communications with all. After all you are currently charmed so can speak with a greater truth.
3/ The Mind Map
Garden. Pleasure gardens were the only places where both sexes could socialise back when Lenormand cards were created. This card is all about social networking both online and off. Socialising with people in general and joining communities, parties and gatherings. This is about being noticed and gaining success and fame. It is about being open and social not private and shut off. Circulate and enjoy life. You are becoming the sunshine in your own galaxy. Shine and sparkle for all to see.
4/ To be Released
The Wheel of Fortune and The Ace of Swords. This is a tricky little puzzle Taurus. You need to release the Sword of morality that you have been using to judge your actions with and it has been stopping the Wheel of Destiny turning in your favour. Ask yourself why you are holding back. It might be because Uranus just set up home in your house for the next seven years and as you are not a lover of swift change his presence has upset everything and you have been frustrated. Let it go as he’s moved in for seven years so its time to accept change. This is your cosmic moment for a spring clean.
5/ To be Accepted or Challenged
The Knave of Cups. This is the courtly seed card of emotions that affect your soul. It is time to find joy again in letting love back into your world but not the old kind. This is compassionate Gaia love that will blossom and grow with truth and honesty between you and everyone if you let it.
6/ Personal Growth
The Three of Pentacles & The World are two amazing energies to flow into you to help you grow. That Garden card spoke of fame and social joys and now the Three of Pentacles sings of recognition and success for all your earthly labours Taurus. Coupled with The World the Cosmos is offering you unimaginable fortunes. The World is the last major Arcana card and the completion of a vast Cosmic journey. You must congratulate yourself but only if you can release your blockages and embrace your challenges. But you are being offered so much more when you do.
7/ To Blossom
The High Priestess. This card is the mystery hidden in the depths of the moon. The High Priestess safeguards the veil of dreams and her appearance is asking you to dream a brighter future for yourself. Like the masculine Magician before her the High Priestess is the very elemental core of magic but she does not need her hands to conjure. Her thoughts alone create all she requires with her feminine glory. You are being giving a divine connection to sacred mysteries and you must not waste this wonder. Everything you are experiencing right now is natural and divine. Go you lucky Taurus.

1/ The Heavens – Destiny
This first card is the root of Yggdrasil and the current Cosmic foundation you are all experiencing. This card shows us the heavens and the balance of the creative universal energy. The sun and moon, the cosmos of stars and the flow of the oceans. It’s about journeying to the place of our destiny. They are together, the book of life and reveal universal truths over and over again. This is about the mind, only now it’s on a cosmic scale. The creator nourishes the world with rain. The stars record our stories. The moon marks time. Seize the moment and act swiftly to cut old ties that serve little future purpose. Then surrender to the Heavens and let the new bigger picture unfold around you. How though to do this? The following cards will help you to understand your Full Moon and Solstice mission if you are willing to take it and remember you don’t have to.
2/ Yew
Yew is the trunk of Yggdrasil and is the body healing that will link the Cosmic flow to the spiritual. Yew is a card of trunk healing and is symbolic of regeneration. Yew lives for thousands of years and as the outer trunk dies off it creates and grows a new inner core. Be like Yew and shed the old to establish new growth. In many ancient cultures Yew is the magical tree associated with the soul. Yew is about transformation and rebirth and asks you to find stillness in a busy world. Reconnect with your spiritual path and find renewal in its majestic magic.
3/ Heart
This Lenormand Card represents the mind as it wrestles to find a pathway through the spiritual journey to a better understanding of the soul. This card is basically singing with love but as with all Lenormand cards it is not that simple. This card is about all aspects of love not just romance. This is about opening your heart to all forms of love. Platonic love for your friends, family, children, animals and even places. This card is about trying to strike the heart chakra open and ringing the bell of divine love that resides inside all our hearts no matter how hidden and dusty that bell might be. Compassion is the key but to strike that bell we must first remember how to love ourselves. You need self respect to offer yourself love. Then you open your heart to everything and you can begin to bask in sublime joy.
4/ What Must Be Released
These three cards are trying to express the things we need to release at this time and they speak of Ego Bound Love. There is a choice presented by the Two of Swords and The Lovers. This is not about falling in love or finding twin flames this is a card that asks you to consider the way in which you love. The Page of Cups is the seed card of love and he shows us a figure standing in a field of red flowers holding up a chalice of love. But as is the case so often this card represents being in love with the idea of being in love. His outstretched cup shows expectations attached to his offer of love. Love needs to be purely for the sake of love. Unconditional. Loving unconditionally only works if you do not offer that love to someone who cannot appreciate it. So look at those you love and ask yourself what you are expecting in return?
5/ What to Accept
This branch is about the challenges we face and the three cards here are asking you to seek a new perspective on things. The Hanged Man is about finding a stillness within to stop and look differently at everything that surrounds you and everything that is within you. To look deep inside yourself and try to understand that we are all made of two equal forces of male and female energies. Magi and Gaia energies. The Knight of Swords is the fast acting warrior who uses his Sword of Truth to prune back all the things that no longer keep our soul in balance. It is time to find union within yourself as the Two of Cups waits for you to find balance between both energies within you so that you might find a new way to share the love you have for yourself with others.
6/ New Growth
This branch is about the flow of new passions and ideas to help you grow. The Four of Swords is a card or resting and healing. This is about pausing after a great battle and renewing yourself but this branch is not just about this physical regeneration but also about a cosmic healing and regeneration with The Star twinkling above in the Cosmos. The Star is ruled by Aquarius and Uranus and is all about change, social groups and gatherings. It is also about being the visionary dreamer of the zodiac. Let the infinite wonder of the universe unfold before you. The star is the magic point of meditation before a wild journey to the stars themselves. It is time to buckle yourself in and thrust the pedal to the metal and to push forward with renewed vigour. This card is about making cosmic wishes and letting the moon deliver them back to you. The Wheel of Fortune is telling you that your destiny is unfolding and everything is as it should be. Reach forward and dream of flying among the stars again.
7/ How To Blossom
This final branch is what to expect if you can find a pathway through the first three branches. Remember though the Cosmic promise of the first card too though. Strength is the Maiden and the Beast. This is about how your benevolent Gaia energy needs to control the selfish Magi energy that is within us all. You must try at all times to let your compassion reign supreme. This is achieved by looking inside our soul at the Hierophant within. This card represents that moment along the cosmic journey when the Emperor finally becomes the High Priest. Unlike the totally benevolent High Priestess who lets everything flourish without question the Hierophant is able to selectively seek wisdom to decide that which serves you and that which chokes you. This Kundalini balance then allows the harvest shown by the Seven of Cups. This is about reaping that which we sow. This is not quite about seeing the results but knowing that they are imminent and promised.
