This week introduces Mercury Retrograde and the start of Aries season; the astrological New Year as Aries is the first sign of the zodiac.
A lot of cosmic energy in the air. A lot of unseen forces at work, pushing and pulling you into new positions and spaces.
Let them do their work. Let yourself be guided by signs and omens and coincidences.
If you need a hand to discover what’s really going on, come see me for an Unseen Forces reading. And in the meantime, let’s use the tarot to pinpoint what to look out for, and what it means for you, this week ahead.
