Signs and Symbols: Is A Message Trying To Get Through?

We’re used to following clear cut signs that we’ve been programmed to adhere to, for example things like traffic lights. But we actually find it quite difficult to follow subtle signs that we aren’t used to. These signs are never concrete, always open to interpretation and can often be explained away as a coincidence. Which is why they’re pretty easy to ignore.

But what if you’re disregarding important messages that are trying to get through? Here we’ll try and explain the kinds of things you should look out for and what they could mean for you.

What’s the Difference Between a Sign and a Symbol?

Basically, all symbols are signs, but not all signs are symbols. So a sign encompasses pretty much everything that you see, hear or experience. It can be anything, such as an event, an object, a word, number, or sound. Whereas a symbol is more specifically an icon, number or symbol of some sort.

Types of Signs and Symbols Commonly Seen

Repeating numbers

This happens to so many of us but we often dismiss it or don’t even notice. But when you put it at the front of your mind you’ll soon start to pick up on repeating numbers. Have you ever looked at the time at various points in the day and seen a particular number over and over again? It could mean that you’re in a good flow energy wise!

Feathers

These are often considered to be reassurance from the spirit world. Different coloured feathers have different significance and meaning.


Coins

If you find coins outside your home or on a route you regularly take it’s a sign that money may be flowing to you or you’re finally in a sound financial place.

Synchronicities

Often dismissed as nothing more than a coincidence, synchronistic events can actually be signs pointing you in a certain direction, or helping you with a problem.

Messages

Messages can be subtle and you may not feel like they are specifically for you at the time, however upon reflection, you can realise that they actually made a lot of sense. You could find a message on the TV, radio, on advertising boards and even on public transport. You just need to be open to them.

Scents and smells

Randomly experiencing a certain scent or smell can take you back to a certain memory which can be the universe’s way of helping you overcome something or remind you of what’s important.

Asking for a sign

If you’re going through a hard time, feeling a little lost, or you need some answers, you can ask the universe for a sign to help you. Through meditation we can reach out to request some guidance. But a big part of asking for a sign is simply being open to receiving one! Remember to look out for numbers, messages, things that seem like coincidences, feathers, coins and familiar scents.

Astrology For The Week Of 22nd January 2018

ARIES (MARCH 21ST- APRIL 19TH)

aries

Someone you’ve not seen for a long time may suddenly come back into the picture this week, Aries. You’ll know instantly whether this is good news or bad news. If you’re happy to see this person, make the most of their company while you can. There’s no promise that they’ll be around for long. If you’re less than pleased at this person’s arrival, bite your tongue and be as polite as you can. You’ll soon find a way to distance yourself from them without causing any drama.


TAURUS (APRIL 20TH- MAY 20THtaurus

A so-called expert may give you bad advice this week, Taurus. If the person in question knows very little about you and your situation, take their advice with a pinch of salt. It may be time to turn to a trusted friend too. While they might not have the same technical knowledge or qualifications as the expert, they’ll know everything about you and will be an excellent person to confide in during tough times.


GEMINI (MAY 21ST- JUNE 20TH)gemini

Be proud of your growth, Gemini, for you’ve come a long way! If you’ve been through a tough time lately, take comfort in the fact you’ve dealt with the situation in a much more effective way than you would have a year or two ago. This is an ideal week for reflection and forward-planning. By looking at how far you’ve come, you can make big predictions for the future and set yourself challenges that push you to your absolute limits – in the best way


CANCER (JUNE 21ST- JULY 22ND)cancer

Do you feel like your ears are burning when you enter the room, Cancer? If you’re convinced people are talking about you behind your back, be the bigger person and let your kind and generous nature put those people to shame. We all encounter negative people from time to time, and often can fall victim to spiteful comments. The best way to respond is by holding your head up high and refusing to get involved in the pettiness.


LEO (JULY 23RD- AUGUST 22ND)leo

This week you might feel as though all your efforts went to waste. Whether a relationship hasn’t panned out as you’d hoped or your attempts at getting a promotion have fallen short, don’t let this setback dampen your spirit. In this social media obsessed world where only the best moments make it onto our social feeds, it’s easy to assume that everyone else’s life is smooth sailing and hurdle-free. In reality, the occasional obstacle and disappointment is a natural part of life and everyone experiences them. Rather than seeing these blips as failures, see them as a successful way to learn and grow.


VIRGO (AUGUST 23RD- SEPTEMBER 22ND)VIRGO

Think twice before making any promises this week, Virgo. Although your intentions might be good, an unexpected event could make it hard for you to stay true to your word. The phrase ‘under promise and over deliver’ may sound like business jargon, but it actually makes sense in our personal lives too. If we give other people a reason to expect more from us than we can actually offer, it can result in disappointment all around.


LIBRA (SEPTEMBER 23RD- OCTOBER 22ND)

How are you getting along with your New Year’s Resolutions, Libra? Even if you’ve encountered a setback or two along the way, don’t let this discourage you from doing well the rest of the year. Whether you’ve vowed to give up smoking, eat healthier or avoid drama, your year doesn’t have to be absolutely perfect. The occasional blunder is inevitable and rather than sitting around mourning or beating yourself up, get back on track as soon as possible.


SCORPIO (OCTOBER 23RD- NOVEMBER 21ST)scorpio

This is an ideal week for life admin, Scorpio, even if you feel like letting your hair down and partying. Is it possible to work hard and play hard? We think so. By spending the first four or five days of the week ticking things off your to-do list, you’ll be able to party by the time the weekend comes around. Procrastination may feel more tempting than ever, but it’ll only cause you unnecessary stress.


SAGITTARIUS (NOVEMBER 22ND- DECEMBER 21ST)sagittarius

Try to think of this week as a blank canvas and opportunity to start afresh. You can achieve anything you put your mind to in the days ahead. You might not get it right the very first time, but you’ll lay the groundwork for future successes. Make sure your squad is assembled and ready to go. With all your unique skills combined, together you can achieve great things.


CAPRICORN (DECEMBER 22ND- JANUARY 19TH)

In the coming days, make it your mission to try new things and step out of your comfort zone. We bet you fell into a pretty regimented routine in 2017. If this is the case, it’s time to embrace the excitement that comes with unfamiliarity and change. It might be scary at first, but we promise you’ll see a magical new side to yourself that you never knew existed


AQUARIUS (JANUARY 20TH- FEBRUARY 18TH)aquarius new

If you’ve been struggling to make a big decision over the last few months, the answers may come to you in a really vivid dream this week. Everything will suddenly become crystal clear and you’ll be wondering why it took you so long to come to this conclusion. Going forward, pay close attention to your intuition. You don’t need to be asleep to find the answers. Your intuition is a much more powerful force than you give it credit for, and with its help you’ll find your way.


PISCES (FEBRUARY 19TH- MARCH 20TH)pisces

This week we bet you’ll be filled with a much stronger level of physical and mental energy than usual, Pisces. This could leave you feeling restless and desperate for action.

Don’t let your fidgety nature land you in trouble. Although you’re a sensitive soul who looks out for other people, you may say or do something that causes unexpected drama and hurt feelings.

A Guide to 2018’s Full Moons

Ensure you get the most out of every different full moon in 2018 thanks to our handy guide.

January 2nd and 31st: Wolf Moon

We’re lucky to get two Wolf Moons in January, the second being referred to as a blue moon! This type of moon was named after the packs of wolves that would howl in hunger around this time of year.

March 2nd and 31st: Worm Moon

Named after the appearance of earthworm casts around this time, and the fact that birds can begin to find food more easily, the Worm Moon has also been known as the Sap Moon. The second moon in March is particularly useful as it is used to determine the date of Easter which always falls on the Sunday after the first full moon after the Spring equinox.

April 30th: Pink Moon

We owe the American’s for naming this moon, after the pink wildflowers that appear in the US and Canada around this time. The Pink Moon is a time for reawakening and rebirth. It is a good time to start new projects or even extending the family! This moon is also known as Egg Moon, due to spring egg-laying season.

May 29th: Flower Moon

This moon is named after the colourful plants and flowers that will have recently bloomed. This full moon is known to be one of the brightest and so is often called Bright Moon. Like the flowers, this is the time for us to truly blossom, taking advantage of all the abundant energy around us.

June 28th: Strawberry Moon

Sharing its time with the summer solstice, the Strawberry Moon is named after the beginning of strawberry picking season. Be sure to make use of the extra hours of sunlight during this time!

July 27th: Thunder Moon

Summer thunderstorms are to thank for the name of this moon, although you may have also heard the Thunder Moon called the Full Book Moon. This is because the antlers of bucks are fully grown during this time. Expect major shifts in life around this time.

August 26th: Sturgeon Moon

The Sturgeon Moon shares the same month as the Perseid meteor shower which is a spectacle to look out for. The Sturgeon Moon gets its name from North American tribes who would catch the fish around this time. Like the tribes collecting their fish, now is the time for us to gather and take stock of all we have.

September 25th: Harvest Moon

This full moon is the first that takes place closest to the Autumn equinox. The Harvest Moon is named after the time when crops were harvested, with the moon providing extra light so farmers could work extra hours. This moon is often larger and more colourful than other moons of the year. Blessings are thought to occur during this moon.

October 24th: Hunter’s Moon

As people began hunting game around this time, before the cold really started to set in, this moon was named the Hunter’s Moon. Sometimes, the Hunter’s Moon is confused with the Harvest Moon as once every four years or so the Harvest Moon is in October instead of September. When that happens, the Hunter’s Moon is pushed into November.

November 23rd: Frost Moon

When the first of the winter frost starts to bite, you’ll find the Frost Moon. It is around this time that the cold starts to take its toll and we find ourselves in a deep state of reflection or “winding down.” It’s a good time to restore your emotions and get a handle on everything that is happening in your life.

December 22nd: Cold Moon

The Cold Moon reflects the longer and darker days throughout Winter. We can often feel conflicted around this time. Christmas approaches and we start to feel joyous but we also get the urge to hibernate. Getting the balance can be tough but anything that can bring warmth and comfort is encouraged.

What’s Your Word Of The Year?

ARIES (MARCH 21ST- APRIL 19TH)

Growth

TAURUS (APRIL 20TH- MAY 20TH)

You’ve got so much to celebrate, Taurus. And this year is all about reflecting on past achievements, praising yourself for all that you’ve overcome, and rejoicing with those who’ve helped you along the way.

Be grateful for everything you have, Taurus. It’s only natural to dwell on the negatives, but focusing on the positives can have a positive impact.

GEMINI (MAY 21ST- JUNE 20TH)

Adventure

Make 2018 a year of adventures, Gemini. If you’re experiencing some serious wanderlust, set the wheels in motion and get travelling. If your budget’s tight, focus on a series of micro adventures and brave life changes.

If you’re a single Gemini and you’re hoping to find The One, your quest for love could be an adventure in itself.

CANCER (JUNE 21ST- JULY 22ND)

Transformation

2018 has the potential to be a really transformative year. This could be the year that you look back on with fond memories for decades to come. The next 12 months will help to shape your life in an unprecedented way, but the power is ultimately in your hands and it’s up to you to steer yourself in your dream destination.

LEO (JULY 23RD- AUGUST 22ND)

Unbreakable

Was 2017 a tough one? The good news is that 2018 has the potential to show just how unbreakable you are. The first few months of the year will hold some challenges, but after that you’re likely to reap the benefits of all your strength and determination. You’re an inspirational powerhouse – remember that.

VIRGO (AUGUST 23RD- SEPTEMBER 22ND)

Creativity

Could 2018 be your most creative year yet? We certainly think so. If you often let self doubt and uncertainty stand in your way of creating amazing things, it’s time to push your fears to one side and make a start. Rather than worrying about the outcome, focus on the journey. Experimenting with different ideas and techniques is sure to see you grow and progress.

LIBRA (SEPTEMBER 23RD- OCTOBER 22ND)

Passion

Your word of the year is ‘passion’ and your 2018 is guaranteed to be full of it. Whether you unearth a new found passion in your career, hobbies or relationships, your year has the potential to be filled with excitement and intensity.

SCORPIO (OCTOBER 23RD- NOVEMBER 21ST)

Freedom

This year we bet you’re going to find yourself overwhelmed with a sense of freedom and opportunity like you’ve never felt before. The world is your oyster and by believing in yourself and surrounding yourself with supportive people, you can make 2018 really special.

SAGITTARIUS (NOVEMBER 22ND- DECEMBER 21ST)

Bravery

Bravery is essential this year, Sagittarius. Life will throw a few curveballs your way and you’ll face your fair share of challenges, but with the help of courage and endurance, you can transform just about any negative into a positive.

CAPRICORN (DECEMBER 22ND- JANUARY 19TH)

Empowerment

Is 2018 ready for you, Capricorn? This year is sure to be an empowering one filled with inspiration and enthusiasm. Surround yourself with people who motivate you to step outside of your comfort zone and distance yourself from those who seem hellbent on dragging you down.  

AQUARIUS (JANUARY 20TH- FEBRUARY 18TH)

Kindness

Make kindness your primary mission this year, Aquarius. You’ll be astonished at how much your life will change. Your thoughtful gestures won’t always be acknowledged or reciprocated but we promise that they’ll have a positive impact on those on the receiving end.

PISCES (FEBRUARY 19TH- MARCH 20TH)

Intuition

Let your intuition guide you through the year, Pisces. It will know exactly what to do. By tapping into your inner voice and listening to what it has to say, you can benefit from a higher wisdom and venture down a much more harmonious path.

Astrology For The Week Of 15th January 2018

ARIES (MARCH 21ST- APRIL 19TH)

aries

Patience, patience patience. It’s something you’re going to have to tell yourself a lot this week. You’ve weighed up all your options, you’ve sprung into action and now you have to wait to see what will happen. Trying to force things isn’t going to work which is why patience needs to be your mantra for the week. Panicking about whether an opportunity is going to slip through your fingers is pointless and it will just cause you unnecessary stress. Keep yourself distracted with fun things in the meantime!


TAURUS (APRIL 20TH- MAY 20THtaurus

Someone else’s negativity and overall grumpy demeanour could see you slipping into old habits. Don’t allow their mood to be too contagious, especially as you finally seem to have got yourself on track and on the right footing for 2018. It may seem harsh but it might be wise to distance yourself from those who seek to bring you down. If only for a little while. Sure, you don’t want to abandon them but you have to think of your own mental health too. It may even encourage them to let a little positivity into their life.


GEMINI (MAY 21ST- JUNE 20TH)gemini

Beating yourself up about a past mistake is going to do you no good this week Gemini. If you learned from it and you know you’re a better person now for it then it’s time to move on. Dwelling on the past is never a good idea and hindsight can be a killer.

A situation may arise this week in which the solution seems relatively simple but it’s a good idea to take a step back and really look at what’s really occurring. Often things are a lot more complex than we first think.


CANCER (JUNE 21ST- JULY 22ND)cancer

Feeling like you’re not good enough? Is your self esteem plummeting? Try and get out of your head and find out why you’re feeling like this because it’s simply not true. It can be a crippling feeling but those around you will begin to show you why you actually are good enough. It may be time to start some inner reflection to understand just what it is that makes you feel this way. This week will end with some much needed positivity that you can take through with you into next week.


LEO (JULY 23RD- AUGUST 22ND)leo

The sooner you realise that everyone has setbacks and obstacles in their life, the sooner you’ll see that the world isn’t out to get you. When bad things happen to us, even the smallest things, it can be really easy to assume that everything and everyone is against us. Especially if a few things happen one after another. But that is life! Everyone has a bit of bad luck here and there and there isn’t some conspiracy out to get you. It’s completely natural. Once you’ve changed your mindset and your outlook, you’ll be able to handle the hurdles a lot more smoothly.


VIRGO (AUGUST 23RD- SEPTEMBER 22ND)VIRGO

Loving yourself is important this week Virgo. Write down all your good qualities as a therapeutic exercise and you’ll come up with more than you think. It may seem like a really self-indulgent task but it’s useful in building up your confidence and giving yourself a bit of a boost. Once you find love for yourself others will gravitate towards you.

Your debating skills may come in handy this week too. Keep a cool head and stick to the truth and you’ll come out on top.


LIBRA (SEPTEMBER 23RD- OCTOBER 22ND)

Facing up to some realities is important this week Libra. You may face some difficulties but now is the time to adopt your “take no prisoners” attitude. Whether it takes a couple of hours or a couple of days, knuckle down and get the job done. People may be stubborn but don’t let that deter you. Keep at it and they’ll soon see that you’re talking sense and you are not to be messed with.


SCORPIO (OCTOBER 23RD- NOVEMBER 21ST)scorpio

Is your mind still in the holiday spirits this week Scorpio? It can be tough to reset your mind into work mode but unfortunately it must be done. That’s not to say you can’t still have some fun. It just can’t be your primary concern right now. Get through the week, and treat yourself to something lovely at the end. Whether it’s a mini trip, some new clothes or just a relaxing evening in. It’s important to reward yourself for working hard, otherwise what’s it all for?


SAGITTARIUS (NOVEMBER 22ND- DECEMBER 21ST)sagittarius

You may have a tendency to let small things ruin big events this week Sagittarius. But why? What makes you focus on the negatives rather than the positives? That may be something to analyse for the future. Just enjoy the good things that are happening and let the small things go. Getting your feelings out as soon as possible is also ideal this week. It isn’t wise to let things simmer and boil over.


CAPRICORN (DECEMBER 22ND- JANUARY 19TH)

You may have to make decisions this week that won’t please everyone. You might find it tough but deep down you know you’ll be making the right call. And with that mindset the right decisions will be made. If you try and please everyone then ultimately, nobody will happen.

Whilst challenges will arise this week, specifically financial, there’s still going to be some element of fun to be had! It’s important to let your hair down.


AQUARIUS (JANUARY 20TH- FEBRUARY 18TH)aquarius new

It’s really important that you find the time to retreat this week Aquarius. Retreat from life, from people, from work and the constant noise that surrounds you. It will give you the opportunity for some introspection, some rejuvenation and just some time-out. You won’t believe what insights you gain. This type of retreat can throw out amazing revelations.

Refrain from making any hard decisions this week. You can put off everything for a few days without any consequences.


PISCES (FEBRUARY 19TH- MARCH 20TH)pisces

Feeling powerless? This week you might find that you’re at the mercy of fate and you’re not steering your own destiny. However, that couldn’t be further from the truth. Yes, things may occur that are out of your control, but you will always have control over how you respond and what you do next. And that’s the most important thing.

Why You Should Keep A Psychic Journal This Year

As we begin a brand new year, lots of people start making resolutions. Giving up smoking, joining a gym, making a pledge to read more and do lots of travelling; they’re all common promises people make to themselves as a way of improving their lives. And that’s what resolutions are all about; making changes to our lives that will improve our overall health and wellbeing.

Here at Wishing Moon, we think resolutions are a great idea and one we’re recommending everyone make this year is a commitment to keeping a psychic journal.

What is a psychic journal?

A psychic journal is a journal that helps you document, understand and interpret your psychic occurrences. For those who are at the beginning of their psychic journey it can be a great outlet for the different thoughts and feelings that are happening, and also a way to see how far you’ve come on your journey. But it isn’t just beginners that can find use in a psychic journal. Everyone can see the benefit in keeping one – no matter what point you are at in your journey.

The benefits of keeping a psychic journal

Everyone will get something different out of keeping a psychic journal as each person will have their unique goals, challenges and experiences. But there are a few general benefits to consider:

  • A psychic journal is an outlet for all fears, thoughts and worries
  • But it is also a great place to document positive things such as challenges that have been overcome
  • You can track your psychic occurrences and your psychic developments  
  • A sense of clarity and clear perception can be gained from writing everything down
  • A psychic journal can serve as a record for you to look back on to reflect and review
  • You can use a psychic journal to see patterns in your spiritual journey – highlighting any triggers or common features
  • It can be very therapeutic to write down what is happening in your life
  • A psychic journal can become a kind of confidente and even a source of companionship

What you should include in your psychic journal

What you note down in your psychic journal is completely up to you. After all, it is your personal journal. But there is a general guide that you can follow to get you started. First you need to get yourself a lovely, thick journal which is really good quality. Then divide it into different sections entitled: Dreams, Thoughts & Feelings, Experiences, Learning & Practice, and Miscellaneous.

You don’t have to use these exact headings and the wording can change if you like but these sections are a good way to go with your psychic journal. You can then start jotting down notes as and when you see fit.

Hopefully you’ll find your psychic journal brings you joy, satisfaction and helps you on your psychic journey throughout 2018 and the years ahead!

Tarot Card Of The Month – Death

Throughout 2018 we’re going to select one tarot card each month and investigate its meaning. Today, let’s take a look at one of the most misunderstood cards in the deck – the Death card.

The Death Card – Upright

tarot death card

The Death card is the one that often instills fear in people, particularly those who are unfamiliar with the tarot’s powers and each card’s meaning.

However, this card certainly doesn’t indicate that your life is about to end. In fact, far from it.

In reality, it tends to suggest that new beginnings are on the horizon and a fresh start is entirely possible.

When the Death card appears in a reading, consider it a blessing and a sign that you can transform the aspects of your life that you’re unhappy with and even start all over again if you wish.

Think of your life as a blank canvas. How you paint your world and spend your journey is entirely up to you and by making the most of the promising opportunities thrown your way, you can shape your life into exactly what you dream.

Death can be an inspiring and encouraging card for those who understand how to use it. Let it you with the motivation you need to turn over a new leaf and really achieve your goals.

With this card by your side, you’ll be a master of self transformation and a force to be reckoned with.

The Death Card – Reversed

When the Death card appears in reverse, this suggests that you’re on the verge of a huge life change but something is standing in your way and preventing the transformation from actually taking place.

Are you your own worst enemy in this respect? As humans, it’s perfectly natural for us to stand in the way of our own progression, but by holding yourself back you could be missing out on a world of opportunities and happiness.

Don’t let self doubt and a lack of confidence stand in your way. Rather than worrying about success or failure, focus on trying. A willingness to try new things can be the difference between always wondering ‘what if?’ and opening up some exciting life-changing doors.

If you’re not standing in your own way, there could be another type of obstacle that needs to be overcome. Have faith in yourself because by working hard and using your intuition, you can find what’s meant for you and achieve the impossible.

Astrology For The Week Of 8th January 2018

ARIES (MARCH 21ST- APRIL 19TH)

aries

A hectic week lies ahead, Aries. You’ve got a lot on your plate and may be feeling a little overwhelmed. On the positive side, someone new is set to enter your life before the weekend comes around. This person could be a new friend, colleague or potential date. Whoever they are, they’re about to bless you with a fresh new perspective on life while inspiring you to do things differently. Their influence is sure to put a positive spin on what’s otherwise a difficult week.


TAURUS (APRIL 20TH- MAY 20THtaurus

You’ve been thrown in at the deep end and forced to embark on a huge life change, whether you like it or not. Thankfully, you’re a tough cookie and you can take on anything life throws at you. A few months to a year from now you’ll look back on this moment in amazement at how far you’ve come. Keep your head held high and do the best you can. Let your intuition guide the way and karma will reward you.


GEMINI (MAY 21ST- JUNE 20TH)gemini

Are you reaping the benefits of your hard work, Gemini? You seem to be putting in a lot of effort only to get very little back. Before you continue, question who you’re doing this work for.

If it’s for you, don’t let delayed results prevent you from aiming for your dreams. But don’t be afraid to take time off if you need to. Remember to work smarter rather than harder. There’s no point in slaving away for 12 hours a day if you end up burnt out by the end of the week.


CANCER (JUNE 21ST- JULY 22ND)cancer

Do you feel like people are talking behind your back? Don’t let these worries consume you or prevent you from being your true authentic self. Their words say far more about them than they do about you, and any negativity they throw in your direction is a result of their own insecurities.

Focus on spreading positivity in the coming days. Treat other people kindly and the ones who are worth your time are sure to return the favour.


LEO (JULY 23RD- AUGUST 22ND)leo

Are you being as supportive as you could be, Leo? Someone you see regularly is in desperate need of your help. Hopefully this will give you the wake up call you need to behave like a friend rather than a competitor. Go the extra mile and do what you can to help, Leo. Not only is it the right thing to do, it could reward you with good karma further down the line.

An invite to a large social event could catch you by surprise towards the end of the week. It could open exciting new doors for you, whether in a professional or romantic sense.


VIRGO (AUGUST 23RD- SEPTEMBER 22ND)VIRGO

You may find yourself feeling a little overwhelmed this week, Virgo. Your work and personal lives feel like they’re in conflict with one another and you may feel like there’s far too much on your plate. Take a deep breath and rather than sitting there worrying, tackle one thing at a time. Even if you’re unsuccessful in your attempts to tick everything off your list, accomplishing just a few things can have a tremendous impact.


LIBRA (SEPTEMBER 23RD- OCTOBER 22ND)

A good deed will save you and those around you from a world of drama. Even if you don’t get credit for your kindness, you can rest assured that your thoughtful actions will have helped to make someone else’s day a little brighter.

By the time we reach the weekend, you may see a dark side to someone you thought you could trust. Before distancing yourself from this person completely, question whether this was a one-off blip or the start of continuous bad behaviour.


SCORPIO (OCTOBER 23RD- NOVEMBER 21ST)scorpio

A friend or family member may expect too much of you in the days ahead. You’re always happy to do someone a favour, but you have your limits. If you find it hard to say no, it’s time to be more protective of your time and energy. Focus on putting your own needs first this week and try not to worry what other people think. They might be shocked at first and surprised you’d put your foot down, but over time they’ll realise just how much they ask of you.


SAGITTARIUS (NOVEMBER 22ND- DECEMBER 21ST)sagittarius

Assemble your squad, Sagittarius. Working closely with others will prove extremely rewarding this week. Focus on collaborating with people who have a different skill set to your own and you’re sure to reap the benefits.

You may encounter one or two people who aren’t team players. Try not to concern yourself with their actions. Trying to change them will only waste your time.


CAPRICORN (DECEMBER 22ND- JANUARY 19TH)

Make sure you consider all your options before making a decision, Capricorn. Jumping in feet first without first weighing up the full spectrum of opportunities could see you making the wrong move and later regretting your choice. Bide your time and if your decision needs to spill over into next week, don’t beat yourself up about it.


AQUARIUS (JANUARY 20TH- FEBRUARY 18TH)aquarius new

This week try to focus on repairing things that are broken. From fixing broken objects around the house to making an effort to mend a damaged friendship, you’re better off working with what you already have rather than starting afresh. If your efforts are unsuccessful, at least you know you tried. It’s not up to you to resolve every issue and there will always be some things that remain out of your control.


PISCES (FEBRUARY 19TH- MARCH 20TH)pisces

This week pair up with an Aquarius if you want to find true love, a Leo if you want to progress your career and a Capricorn if you want to meet new people. These people could help and inspire you to build a brighter future, but you can’t rely on them for everything and ultimately you hold the key.

If you’ve not already made a plan for the year ahead, do so before the weekend comes around.

Monthly Tarotscopes: January 2018

To mark the start of January, one of our psychics has chosen a different tarot card for each star sign to represent how the month could unfold. We believe Tarotscopes are a simple way to create a life of peace, meaning and prosperity, plus it’s an opportunity for people to learn more about the definitions of tarot decks. Below are all of the cards that are chosen for the month of January 2018.

*All cards pictured in this blog post are from the famous Rider-Waite Tarot Card deck.*

ARIES (MARCH 21ST – APRIL 19TH)

Wheel of Fortune (reversed) wheel of fortune

Keywords: Bad luck, negativity, lack of control

We hate to break it to you but this month has the potential to be filled with mishaps. You may find that no matter what you do, nothing seems to go your way. Although a period of bad luck may certainly lie ahead, don’t let this discourage you from aiming high. Failing is a natural and essential part of our life’s journey and without the occasional fall, we’ll never learn to fly.

Make perseverance your word of the month and you’ll be amazed how much you learn in the coming weeks.

TAURUS (APRIL 20TH- MAY 20TH)

Five of Wands (reversed) five of wands

Keywords: Avoiding confrontation, lies, deceit

A lack of confrontation could have far more disastrous consequences than originally anticipated, Taurus. You and a friend may try to avoid conflict by suppressing every negative feeling you have and keeping those little grievances to yourselves. However, sooner or later the bubble’s going to burst and once one person is vocal about the thing that’s troubling them, a whole world of complaints could spill out.

Try to be tactfully upfront in the coming weeks, Taurus. You’ll thank us later.

GEMINI (MAY 21ST- JUNE 20TH)

Nine of Cups nine of cups

Keywords: Happiness, satisfaction, glory

Play your cards right and your year will get off to a fantastic start, Gemini. All the hard work you put in last year will begin to make a real difference to your life. Think back to all those sacrifices you made in 2017 and reflect on the challenges you faced. Suddenly any misfortunes will begin to make perfect sense and you’ll realise that you’ve been through the tough times for a reason.

Your year’s likely to get off to such a good start that any further struggles will be overshadowed. Even when times get tough you’ll feel reassured that things will play out exactly as they’re supposed to.

CANCER (JUNE 21ST- JULY 22ND)

Nine of Swords nine swords

Keywords: Unhappiness, despair, anxiety

There’s a risk 2018 won’t get off to the best start for you, Cancer. There’s a chance your life will be thrown into disarray and the consequences of former actions will materialise. If you have big plans for the year ahead, this may be disheartening news but it’s important to take action and minimise the impact. By taking this reading as a sign that things need to change, you may be able to turn things around and sail through the month with as little drama as possible.

Be sure to pay close attention to any feedback you receive from other people this month. Someone you often ignore will share some magnificent words of wisdom that, if you’re not careful, you’ll miss. Their advice could have a tremendous impact on your happiness levels this month, so be humble and listen to what they have to say.

LEO (JULY 23RD- AUGUST 22ND)

Ten of Wands ten of wands

Keywords: Burden, responsibility, hard work

Do you have big dreams for 2018? If so, you’ll achieve the best results by working hard in the weeks ahead. By going ‘all in’ this month, you can give yourself a head start and set yourself up with confidence and determination for the rest of the year.

Surround yourself with people who have your best interests at heart. These people won’t necessarily be the people you expect. Instead of turning to those who should help, focus on those who’ve proven themselves time and time again. They’ll help to release any pressure you’re under.

VIRGO (AUGUST 23RD- SEPTEMBER 22ND)

The Hanged Man hanged man

Keywords: Suspension, restriction, letting go

Now that we’re entering a brand new year, you may feel compelled to make huge life changes and get the ball rolling with the goals you’ve been planning for ages. However, the appearance of The Hanged Man card suggests that you may find yourself in a frustrating limbo. No matter what you try to do, you may feel as though your hands are tied and you’re unable to make progress. Although this is bound to be frustrating, try not to let it get you down. Focus on doing the best you can and rest assured that the shackles will be unlocked soon enough.

LIBRA (SEPTEMBER 23RD- OCTOBER 22ND)

Death death card

Keywords: New beginnings, transformation, end of an era

The Death card is probably the last thing you wanted to see, but you may be surprised to learn its true meaning. Rather than signifying the end of life or a grisly demise, it tends to indicate a life changing transformation, new discovery or promising adventure. In fact, Death is perhaps one of the best cards to get so early on in the year. This is the time for reinvention and self discovery. You may be pleasantly surprised at the outcome.

SCORPIO (OCTOBER 23RD- NOVEMBER 21ST)

The Lovers the lovers

Keywords: perfection, harmony, trust

This month everything’s likely to feel more peaceful and tranquil than ever. Nothing can penetrate your bubble of harmony and happiness! Chances are you’re feeling closer than ever to someone special, whether the relationship is platonic or romantic.

Try not to work too hard in the coming weeks. Instead, focus on nurturing your bond with that special person in your life.

SAGITTARIUS (NOVEMBER 22ND- DECEMBER 21ST)

The Moon the moon

Keywords: illusion, anxiety, insecurity

This is likely to be a month of uncertainty, Sagittarius. Don’t let your own fears and concerns cloud your judgement or prevent you from pushing forward. Your future may seem temperamental and you may be unsure what to do next, but that doesn’t mean you should curl up in a ball and give up.

Try to see the unpredictable weeks ahead as a good thing and ride the wave. Who knows what lies around the corner?

CAPRICORN (DECEMBER 22ND- JANUARY 19TH)

Ace of Swords ace swords upright

Keywords: Power, clarity, success

If you want to succeed this month, you need to let go of negativity from the past and forgive those who have wronged you. The longer you play the blame game, the longer you deprive yourself of success and happiness.

Stop blaming other people’s actions for the way things are now. Instead, you should acknowledge your own behaviour, actions and choices and reflect on the positive and negative consequences.

AQUARIUS (JANUARY 20TH- FEBRUARY 18TH)

The Hierophant Hierophant

Keywords: Teamwork, conformity, tradition

Conforming to other people’s expectations could work against you this month, Aquarius. Although you might feel under pressure to follow the guidance of those around you, there’s no point sacrificing who you are or compromising your personality.

One of the things that makes teamwork so powerful is the fact it makes use of a multitude of personalities, ideas and skills. If you change who you really are when working with others, the things that make you special will go to waste.

PISCES (FEBRUARY 19TH- MARCH 20TH)

The World the world

Keywords: Success, accomplishment, completion

This is a promising card to receive so early on in the year and it suggests an exciting and fulfilling month lies ahead. If you’re lucky, the rewards that January brings could cause a ripple effect that last for months to come.

In order to benefit, you need to see the bigger picture and think about more than just your own little bubble. By thinking about the people around you and working hard to improve their lives, your own will reap the benefits too.

Astrology For The Week Of 1st January 2018

ARIES (MARCH 21ST- APRIL 19TH)

aries

New Year, New You! You’re waving goodbye to any negativity from the years gone by and you’re ready to tackle your goals head-on. As one of the most ambitious signs of the zodiac, you won’t let anything get in your way. Surround yourself with likeminded people this week, Aries. Their wisdom and expertise could inspire you to approach your resolutions with a more productive attitude


TAURUS (APRIL 20TH- MAY 20THtaurus

Happy New Year, Taurus! Are you ready to embark on one hell of an adventure? If so, now’s the perfect time. After all, we’re skipping into the start of a new week, a new month and a new year all at the same time. If last year was a tough one, take note of the lessons you learned and start afresh. Put the past behind you and make the next 12 months everything you want them to be.


GEMINI (MAY 21ST- JUNE 20TH)gemini

Don’t let ‘revenge’ be your driving force this week, Gemini. Whether you want a revenge body, a revenge career or a revenge relationship, there’s no point in shaping your life to get back at someone else. Instead of treating life like one big performance, live every day for yourself and yourself only. A social media hiatus may be necessary and it could set you up for a more comfortable and secure 2018.


CANCER (JUNE 21ST- JULY 22ND)cancer

Does it feel as though someone toxic from your past is haunting you? If so, now’s your time to escape from them. Block them on social media, throw out any unnecessary belongings that evoke negative memories and refuse to let this person drag you down.

Focus on doing new things and meeting new people. Embarking on fresh adventures will help you avoid dwelling on the past.


LEO (JULY 23RD- AUGUST 22ND)leo

Your New Year’s Resolutions may get off to a rocky start this week, Leo, but don’t let any blips dampen your spirit or throw you off course. Nobody’s perfect and your efforts don’t have to be all clean and tidy. In a way, we’re all destined to fail now and again, but these little slips shape us into who we’re meant to be.


VIRGO (AUGUST 23RD- SEPTEMBER 22ND)VIRGO

After the hectic festive period, chances are you’re looking for a lowkey January free from stress and drama. That’s not to say your Christmas was a bad one – it may have been quite the opposite. But this week especially, you’re looking for peace, tranquility and solitude. Don’t be afraid of putting up a temporary protective barrier to block yourself off from the outside world and those looking to sap your time and energy away from you.


LIBRA (SEPTEMBER 23RD- OCTOBER 22ND)

Now that we’ve entered a new year, you’re in a dreamy mood. You have big plans for the year ahead and you’re on Cloud 9. Those around you might be less than enthusiastic about the concept of a fresh start, but don’t let their grumpiness get you down. With Christmas behind them, many people are feeling the post-festive gloom. Do what you can to cheer people up but don’t beat yourself up if your attempts are unsuccessful.


SCORPIO (OCTOBER 23RD- NOVEMBER 21ST)scorpio

Your thoughts are likely to turn to the topic of love this week, Scorpio. Whether you’re in a relationship or you’re single, you can’t help but think about your love life and what the future holds. Make the most of your intuition in the coming days and use it to determine your next moves. If your relationship isn’t everything you dream of, make this the year you fight for better.


SAGITTARIUS (NOVEMBER 22ND- DECEMBER 21ST)sagittarius

If you spent much of last year putting off something important, this is the week to stop procrastinating and make actual movements towards the goal. We humans often have a habit of overthinking things and assuming that a boring or unpleasant task will be far more unbearable than it actually will. Just get it done, Sagittarius. Once you do, you’ll feel like a heavy weight’s been lifted off your shoulders.


CAPRICORN (DECEMBER 22ND- JANUARY 19TH)

You may find yourself feeling a little on the insecure side this week, Capricorn. Spend some quiet time trying to figure out why that is. It’s time to unpack your feelings and emotions to determine what makes you tick. Also have a think about whether the people around you are having a positive or negative impact on the way you see yourself.


AQUARIUS (JANUARY 20TH- FEBRUARY 18TH)aquarius new

A case of word vomit may leave you feeling red faced. Don’t beat yourself up for buckling under pressure and saying things that you don’t mean. It happens to the best of us, after all. If you’re struggling to move on from the embarrassment, remind yourself that no one thinks about your embarrassing moments as much as you do. They’re far too busy worrying about their own.


PISCES (FEBRUARY 19TH- MARCH 20TH)pisces

You may find yourself feeling attracted to someone new this week, Pisces, even if you’re already in a relationship. It’s perfectly natural to have a little crush, as long as your relationship is strong and you know that nothing will ever happen. If you find yourself flirting, check your behaviour and take a step back from the situation. Is this time to think about what you really want in life?
