Weekly Tarot, Oracle and Il Vostro Destino Reading for 02-09 August 2026

Welcome to another weekly reading! For this week's reading I am using The Cosmic Slumber Tarot by Tillie Warden Copryight 2021 Sterling Ethos All Rights Reserved, Oracle of the Dragonfae by Lucy Cavendish and artwork by Nicole Cadet, Selina Fenech, (Originally credited as "Michele-Lee") Ravynne Phelan, Debbie Lean, Toni Carmine Salerno, Kylie McDonough, Sharon McLeod (1st Edition only) and Jimmy Manton (2nd Edition only) Copyrigh 2008 (1st Edition) and 2014 (Second Edition) Blue Angel Publishing All Rights Reserved and Il Vostro Destino Copyright Masenghini Bergamo All Rights Reserved.

Let's get this week started off with the Cosmic Slumber Tarot:

There were too many obligations given to you that you were forced to let go of because you were invited to a event or celebration of some kind (ex: wedding, birthday, hanging out with friends at the bar/pub, birth of a child, work party, etc). Now you are receiving feedback about where you can learn a new skill or where to better invest your money in so you can finally get unstuck and evaluate where you are and where you need to be. You will be able to put your skills and talents to the test so that you can put an end to a chapter in your life to change your life for the better and grow from this experience.

Now let's see what Il Vostro Destino forecasts for this week:

The truth will come out and you will see people for who they are actually are and not the persona they play. You will have to deal with delays, disappointments and/or misunderstandings brought on at a party or celebration concerning job loss or losing money due to a powerful man abusing his position within a company that will require clarification or predict a slow period in the workplace as a result. You will be able to find a solution through unexpected help or through your contribution to helping to bettering the situation.

Finally, let's wrap up this reading with the Oracle of the Dragonfae. Note: I put photos of both the original and second edition of this deck to show you what has changed versus what has stayed the same in both versions of this deck:

Act out of love and tending to relationships whether it is a romantic relationship, family dynamics and/or friendships so that everyone can have a healthy presence in your life. You will need to face subconscious actions that are causing self-harm and self-sabotage through acknowledging what is actually holding you back and finding a way to move forward by facing these challenges head on. Take accountability for your actions rather than making excuses for bad habits or behaviour. Do what needs to be done even if it is difficult and will force you to have a hard look at your life and the people in it. It will be worth it for your overall well-being. Change is necessary in order to invite new possibilities into your life. Let yourself feel your emotions and acknowledge the circumstances that are influencing these feelings and what needs to happen to properly deal with them. Other people are not responsible for how you feel so you need to make sure your emotions don't guide you down a path of self-sabotage and alienating other people. Don't use your emotions as means to manipulate others. A close friend is there to help so make sure you accept their help. This is also a reminder to stay hydrated regardless of the season. In the northern hemisphere, there is a heatwave that reminds us that it is crucial to cool down and stay hydrated so that we don't suffer. In the southern hemisphere, it is winter and it can be easy to forget to rehydrate when the weather is cold and freezing but it still matters even if it is winter down there. Drink water!

Weekly Tarot, Oracle and Vera Sibilla Reading for 27 July- 03 August 2026

Hello everyone! Hope everyone is doing well! It's time for another weekly reading. For this week's reading I am using the Dame Darcy Mermaid Tarot (1st Edition) Copyright 2012 Dame Darcy All Rights Reserved, La Vera Sibilla Copyright Masenghini All Rights Reserved and Gaia Oracle by Toni Carmine Salerno Copyright 2008 Blue Angel Publishing All Rights Reserved.

Let's get this week started with Dame Darcy's Mermaid Tarot:

Beware of being too flaky this week or it will negatively impact how you go about this week. You gave up on something prematurely and now you have to go back to it. This then lead to you relying too heavily on others to the point where people see you a mooch who is too codependent on others. What you need to do now is to not be reckless with your spending, nourish genuine friendships that let you thrive so you don't be enabled to do something that will sabotage your life. Help is available to you and you need to be willing to ask for it (if you haven't already done so) and accept it when it is offered to you as it will save from a totally dire situation. Especially when funds will be limited or have specific conditions to be followed. This will help prepare you to move on to the next stage in your life even if it causes regret, worry and anxiety about what's to come. Do it anyway.

Let's now see how the Vera Sibilla forecasts for this week:

There was self-harm alleviated through the end of suffering in spite of experiencing failure. Self-discipline is required to deal with unexpected surprises due to a situation worsening. This will require you to fix aspects of a situation that are "sick" or causing you to feel blocked and it will impact a hostile environment at one's job.

Finally, let's see what healing guidance the Gaia Oracle has to offer:

Beware of someone trying to manipulate through deceitful means. Cut them out, call them out and/or set a stronger healthier boundary. If someone has promised to do something for you this week, unfortunately they will not be able to keep it. So be prepared to deal with what comes from that. It is time to make necessary changes in your life so that you can have clearer vision of what you want from life and adjust your routine in order to follow this new path. This comes from acknowledging suppressed feelings and giving yourself permission to feel and express these emotions in a healthy manner. Only then will your life change for the better.

Weekly Tarot, Oracle and Sibilla Reading for 20-27 July 2026

Hey everyone! Hope you are all having a fabulous week so far! For this week's reading I am using Tarot of the Sevenfold Mystery by Robert M. Place Copyright 2012 Hermes Publication All Rights Reserved, Oracle of the Mermaids by Lucy Cavendish and artwork by Selina Fenech Copyright 2013 Blue Angel Publishing All Rights Reserved and Sibilla della Zingara ("Gypsy Oracle Cards") Copyright 2007 Lo Scarabeo All Rights Reserved.

Let's get this week started off with the Tarot of the Sevenfold Mystery:

Someone who going to uplift and motivate you when you felt like everything was falling apart around you. Good news! You are being given another chance to redeem yourself by cutting off an emotionally manipulative individual who only mislead you in order to ruin your life. Now you use these lesson to become a better version of yourself even if it means starting over from scratch. Especially since a project you have been working on is going to fall through but you will be properly compensated for the hard work and energy you put into it. Unfortunately, now is not the right time to focus on it at the moment. Instead, use this an opportunity to learn something new, explore new horizons and potentially relocate to somewhere new to start over and beging a new chapter in your life.

Now let's take a splash in the ocean and see what the Oracle of the Mermaids has to say about this week:

You will need to put something aside in order to make a difficult decision with where you want to be this week. This will force you to be proactive with the goals you've set. This includes both goals you are already working on and goals you are about to start as soon as possible. Get creative with how you express yourself and what you want out of life. Create art, write poetry, dance to your favourite song, etc, do what allows you to express how you are feeling without needing to suppress it. Especially, when words are not enough to convey the message. Make good use of body language to get your point across.

Finally, let's see what Sibilla della Zingara forecasts for this week:

We're feeling trapped by our everyday life an routine to the point where we are trying to make a fresh start because of serious struggles with money and potential danger in our lives that is forcing us to feel isolated. This has lead to depression and/or self-harm and needing to confide in someone we trust in order to deal with a difficult situation filled with misinformation, deceit, miscommunication and/or mismanagement due to contact with an untrustworthy corrupt individual with no morals. Time to get them off now!
 

Weekly Tarot, Oracle and Lenormand Reading for 13-20 July 2026

 

Welcome to another weekly reading! Hope you are staying cool (for those of you in the northern hemisphere. It got incredibly hot where I am at recently and it was torture!)  or warm (for those of you in the southern hemisphere).  What did you think of the comparison between the different versions of Lisa Hunt's Fairytale Tarot in my previous post? Anyway, for this week's reading I am using the Rana George Lenormand by Rana George Copyright 2017 US Games Systems Inc All Rights Reserved, the Golden Universal Tarot by Roberto De Angelis Copyright 2012 Lo Scarabeo All Rights Reserved and Messages from the Mermaids by Karen Kay and artwork by Linda Olsen Copyright 2020 Hayhouse Publishing All Rights Reserved.

Now without further ado, let's get this forecast started off with the Rana George Lenormand, shall we?:

The focus of this week is to resolve financial burdens negatively impacting your ability to spend time with those who matter most to you and could sabotage networking opportunities if you are not careful. You or a man in your life's financial situation is turning around for the better but you may need to address job-related issue impacting your finances. Things are improving but you need to make sure you don't be reckless and hold yourself accountable for what you choose to spend your money on.

Moving on to the Messages from the Mermaids:

Make the most of what you are capable of and immerse yourself into improving your skills and talents. Whether that progressing from an A1(beginner) to a B1 (higher intermediate) level in your target language, learning how to draw better hands for your manga artwork or even improving your writing skills for creative or professional writing. Whatever it may be dive deep into to ensure you can make better progress. It is time to move on to the next step of your journey whatever that looks like for you without needing to regret what hasn't been done or what you could have done instead. What has happened has happened and you can't change it but you can move in a direction toward a better path in life. Even if it means that you have to spend time by yourself and truly contemplate on what matters most to you and your life and what needs to change so you can life the life you want to pursue.

Finally, let's wrap up this reading with the Golden Universal Tarot:

A celebration with messages being exchanged back and forth with others to ensure everything is done correctly so that a specific goal can be reached. Needing financial help is causing conflicts with others that can be solved by making sure everyone is happy. There will be a disappointment concerning one's need to rest and reframe their current mindset so that they are not falling prey to a potential scam. When we rely to heavily on spending time friends and being in need of money afterwards is going to lead to be disappointed later on. Don't recklessly spend money just for the sake of needing to experience pleasure. This will lead to messages being sent back and forth that will escalate into a fight between others that will force you to address your need to rest or face burn out. Focus on your goals so that you can be happier with the results and pay attention to what's going on around you so your intuition can properly guide you in the direction you need to follow for this week.

Overall: Be mindful with your spending, put in the work necessary to achieve the results you desire and pay attention to your surrounding so that when a red flag presents itself, you can recognise it an avoid it immediately.

Comparison of the German and Spanish versions of The Fairytale Tarot

The Fairytale Tarot by Lisa Hunt was originally published in 2009 by Llewellyn Publishing and has been reprinted by US Games Systems Inc in 2024 after being out of print for many years. This was a highly sought after deck that trying to get a copy of it in English was almost impossible without spending an enormous sum of money for it. I originally got the German version of it and was a little disappointed that it had white borders. I then discovered that Spanish version appeared to be borderless and I decided to purchase it to see if that was true and it was. After owning both copies I noticed that there were noticeable differences between each version so I decided to share their unique differences. 

Let's start with the box itself:

As you can see in this photo, the German version has a bigger and sturdier box whereas the Spanish version appears to have similar packaging to that of the original English version published by Llewellyn.

The back of each box describe the deck itself and what you can find in the guidebook. However, the German version showcases images of the cards themselves but doesn't mention whether or not the cards have borders or are borderless.

This image shows the German version's box. It is easily to open and quite sturdy. It actually reminds me of what you can find with the boxes you get from a Blue Angel deck. Unlike the flimsy box in the Spanish version that I can tell mimics that English version published by Llewellyn had.

Moving on to the guidebooks: As you can see the German version of the guidebook is much larger than the Spanish version and thus, has much less pages than the Spanish version. The German cover has a matte finish whereas the Spanish version has a glossy cover and is the expected size of for most Llewellyn guidebooks.

The back of each guidebook are quite different. The Spanish version has a description of what The Fairytale Tarot is about whereas the German version just has the same image found on the card backings.

The German version of the guidebook doesn't have an artistic lettering of the first letter in the first paragraph but the Spanish version does. This appears to be similar to how the original English guidebook had. But the German version has an easy-to-read font making it easy to find information about each of the cards. Larger paper also makes sure that there is less pages and thus, less paper being used.

The card-backings are the same but you can tell that German version has thinner cardstock and a matte finish whereas the Spanish version has slightly stronger cardstock and the cardstock feels a little glossier. The backing on the German version also has different colour than the Spanish edition.

 Finally, let's look two random cards side-by-side. As you can see the German version is not only smaller but also has a white border around the cards. I tend to prefer borderless editions over borders. I have used both decks in readings but these days whenever I want to use this particular deck, I tend to go for the borderless Spanish version in readings than I do with the German one. In fact, I used it in my previously weekly reading post.

I will say that I find it interesting when international versions of tarot decks have slight differences from their original language versions. Have you had this happen or know of other decks like this that do it? I know the Czech version of the Shadowscapes Tarot for example has larger cards and with gilding (if I remember correctly)Let me know in the comments below! 

Weekly Tarot, Sibilla and Oracle Card Reading for 06-13 June 2026

Hello everyone! Welcome to another weekly reading for this week's reading I am using I Misteri Della Sibilla ("The Mysteries of the Sibilla") by Ettore Maiotti Copyright 1982 Dal Negro All Rights Reserved, El Tarot de los Cuentos de Hadas ("Fairytale Tarot" Spanish Edition) Copyright 2012 Editorial Sirio All Rights Reserved and the Myths and Mermaids: Oracle of the Water by Jasmine Becket-Griffith and her sisters Amber Logan and Kachina Mickeletto Copyright 2014 Blue Angel Publishing All Rights Reserved.

Let's get this week's forecast started off I Misteri Della Sibilla:

Feeling powerless after an unexpected gain for you (or a woman in your life: sister, lover, friend, etc) that came after experiencing long delays causing anxiety. This is indicating that a stale and stagnant situation you're currently facing is about to come to a natural end but it will either make you literally sick or make your current circumstances "sick". This will lead someone to do something behind your back and will require to start a new cycle in your life and let go out what is not working for you or something that is simply not going to happen no matter how hard you try. It's time to move on.

Speaking of moving on, let's see what insights El Tarot de los Cuentos de Hadas (The Fairytale Tarot: Spanish Edition) has to say about this week:

A hard choice had to be made even though everyone was not on the same page and this has caused a lot of money being wasted. Now you will need to look at the situation honestly by analysing what went wrong and finding a way to correct the problem so that has brought up a previous issue that needs to be addressed immediately because there has been a lack of proper research or misinformation (or disinformation) being spread to the point where people were taking credit for other people's work. Ultimately, this will require you to be emotionally honest about what happened so that you don't escalate an already tense situation that will only lead to hurt feeling and if not deescalated properly, possible physical violence. Yes, call out wrongdoing but this is not the time to threaten others or it will make matters much worse.

Let's wrap up this reading with the Myths and Mermaids: Oracle of the Water:

You are lingering on to something that cannot be changed. It's time to acknowledge that you did what you could or are currently unable to continue with it because you have either have unrealistic expectations or need to accept that you can change what has already happened. Let yourself grief the situation (or person/people who have passed away) but don't let it hold you back from continuing to live your life even if you are currently facing hardships as a result of what happened. With that being said, reflect on how your influence has recently negatively impacted others. If you want to be respected then you need to be respectful yourself. You cannot demand it from other people. Address these bad habits and behaviours because they are causing you to alienate colleagues, friends and/or family. This is also a reminder to not hide who you are. Express yourself as yourself without fear of what others think of you. If they cannot accept you for who are you are then they don't belong in your life. Don't lie about yourself in order to impress others. It will not be worth in the end.

Weekly Tarot, Oracle and La Nuova Cartomanzia reading for 29 June- 06 July 2026

Hello everyone! Welcome to another weekly reading for this week's reading I'm using La Nuova Cartomanzia: Le Corti D'Amore ("The New Cartomancy: The Cards of Love") Copyright Modiano All Rights Reserved, Llewellyn's Classic Tarot by Barbara Moore and artwork by Eugene Smith Copyright 2014 Llewellyn Publishing All Rights Reserved and the Earth Power Oracle by Stacey Demarco and artwork by Jimmy Manton Copyright 2014 Blue Angel Publishing All Rights Reserved.

Let's get this week's forecast started off with La Nuova Cartomanzia: Le Corti d'Amore:

Problems with colleagues stem from rapidly changing situations  and a lack of resourcefulness forcing you to move a direction that seems attractive at first but it comes with people being way too needy. Don't let yourself get taken advantage of, especially in the workplace. Know what you can and cannot do and then delegate or get assistance from there. You or a man in your life is about receive good news in spite of incredibly trying circumstances. Put your best foot forward because the struggle and hardship is about to come to an end very soon. Stay the course!

A needy person needed someone to be honest and upfront with them whilst also helping them out in their time of need. Now, you need to defend yourself (or even perhaps also do damage control) over communication concerning a heart-to-heart conversation via a messaging app like Microsoft Teams or Slack (if work-related), WhatsApp/FaceTime/SMS (if friends, family, etc) or a short phone call. This will require you to save money, get the rest you need (both physically and mentally) so that can prepare yourself for when faced with a situation where nobody will be available to assist you at that particular moment. Make sure everyone is on the same page, reach out for help when you need it whilst also making sure you are saving your money and not investing in something that you could regret later and face financial hardship afterward and finally, make sure you take care of yourself so that you don't burn out or cause yourself harm.

Bring what you want into being by letting go of what is not working for you anymore. Once it comes to an end then you get a fresh start with what you actually want to do by adjusting your routine and habits so that you can bring back balance into your life by removing obstacles and unsupportive people in your life so that you can commit to what matters most to you (and those who matter in your life) and enjoy the results of your hard work and effort. Embrace change rather than resist it so that you allow your creative expression explore new avenues so that you flow with what life has to offer you. No matter what happens. Take care of yourself, use your skills and talents to the best of your abilities so that you can obtain what you desire, always being willing to learn, unlearn and relearn from the lessons of your experiences so that you not only heal your life but be an inspiration for others as well.
