The Nine of Swords is associated with fear, anxiety and about things that worry you and keep you up at night. This card can also be associated with trauma.

There is movement as far as work and other work-related projects are concerned. The time seems about right to take things forward if you have been planning for a while now. The Six of Wands shows that there are others within your immediate environment who are driven, energetic and also very keen to make things happen. These are probably those who work for you, in the younger age bracket and those with a burning desire to prove themselves to you and in the field they are in. They will be able to market things very well and act as ambassadors for your brand or work. And that will lead to eventual success and the fulfilment of goals that you have set for yourself. There are likely to be early celebrations with this in mind and there are going to be plenty of gatherings and get-togethers that will forge bonds and friendships and collaborations. This is indicated by the Three of Cups that shows the presence of more than two and that could also be something you can be aware of. In personal relationships, this could point out the existence of the third angle and temptations that you could be subject to. Ensure that your behaviour is as per norms to avoid any complications and heartaches. The Angel card for you is the Ace of Earth that shows the flow of abundance and the start of a promising business venture. Ensure you look into important documents and contracts.

23 JULY – 23 AUGUST

The Seven of Wands indicates struggles after an initial fulfilment and satisfaction of an event. It is also about the struggle you need to go through to maintain your position, rather than to attain it. This is about the difficulties we face to continue to have success. You should be ready for the competition to you defend your title, and to prove yourself. Others are going to desire the same results that you do, so you need to stay ahead of them. The Angel card is Awakening corresponding to Archangel Gabriel, who asks you to look at things from a different perspective.

20 APRIL – 21 MAY

Even as life is unfolding and making all the gifts apparent you are in a state of wanting to shun everything. The two cards, Four of Swords and the Eight of Cups brings these two dominating feelings right now. You just have to have the patience to see things through and get the life you want. The Four of Swords is a kind of gestation card that shows things that are brewing and will fructify soon. Time in the way we know it seems finite but time in the larger picture is infinite so eventually things will happen. That is the faith you will need to have. Meanwhile, abandon the desire to walk away from things and feelings. It is better to face them head-on and then release them instead of brushing things under the carpet. The Cups shows that almost everything else is okay but for one – but that one seems to overwhelm you to the extent of wanting to disregard all others. Go with the flow and the tough phase will soon be over. The Angel card for you is the King of Water, where you will need to open your heart and mind to those around you. Take the trustworthy and heart felt inputs given by those you trust and engage in some charity work if possible. The affirmations for you are: I am beautiful and everybody loves me. I radiate acceptance and I am deeply loved by others. Love surrounds and protects me.’’

23 SEPTEMBER – 23 OCTOBER

The Devil card shows that right now you feel trapped, empty and not much fulfilment. You could also be tied to materialism and no matter how hard you try, you just can’t seem to shake off the feeling of wanting to indulge. Being used to material pleasures can also be the reason for your feelings of powerlessness and entrapment. The Nine of Wands symbolises great hope even when one is faced with many problems that threaten to make one lose their balance. The Angel card for you is the Page of Water, where a new person enters your life. It is a relationship that begins a new phase and there is also heightened psychic abilities. The affirmations are: I release all fears and doubts. I accept myself and create peace in my mind and heart.

20 JANUARY – 18 FEBRUARY

The Page of Swords is someone who is bright and full of ideas. This is a person who is curious and sharp-tongued and it’s either someone like that or this is you in your best form. The card indicates that you are eager to execute an idea that you have been having – one you are passionate about and cannot wait to share the progress with others. But you find that time does not move as fast as your mind and that can be a bit frustrating. The Hanged Man warrants a sacrifice to be made to make progress. The Angel card for you is The Dreamer, which corresponds to Archangel Metatron, who tells you to take that leap of faith and follow your dreams. The affirmations are: My work is deeply fulfilling. Today I give my best to that which I do know that when one experience is competing.
