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.

Weekly Tarot, Oracle and Sibilla Reading for 21-28 June 2026

Hi everyone! Happy Solstice (Summer in the Northern Hemisphere and Winter in the Southern Hemisphere) to those who celebrate them. I hope you had a great week last week. It's now time to have a look at this week's forecast through the lense of the Gilded Tarot by Ciro Marchetti Copyright 2012 All Rights Reserved. (This version of the deck is out of print and has been replaced by the Gilded Tarot Royale), Oracle of the Mermaids by Lucy Cavendish and artwork by Selina Fenech Copyright 2013 Blue Angel Publishing All Rights Reserved and Sibilla '800 by Luigi Scapini and Carla Collesei Billi Copyright Dal Negro All Rights Reserved.

Let's proceed with the Gilded Tarot:

Not getting enough time for yourself because of a commitment has lead to too much oversharing of money, resources and personal information. Now you have to deal with not getting work done because you're not putting your best foot forward and people are having to pick up from where you're slacking. There will be consequences if you don't change this habit immediately. Especially, since everyone is on the same page and are willing to help you get things done but you need to hold up your end of the deal in order for it to become successful. This involves making sure your message gets to the people it needs to as there are currently technological problems and this will lead to missed opportunities and miscommunications if nothing is done about it. Always confirm that you have sent everything (especially if it is being sent on Microsoft Teams or Slack) and if there is an issue that you find another alternative to ensure it gets received. Even if that means delivering the message in person.

A cancellation or change in plans will lead to a need to keep your work-life balanced because it will motivate you to do what needs to be done and prevent burning out wherever possible. This will mean that you will need to switch up your daily routine so that you can positively change your life and get the help you need so it become necessary.

Moving on to the Sibilla '800:

.

The act of sending and receiving something (ex: Slack or Microsoft Teams messages or a parcel/package that needs to be signed for) after finally getting over a dark period of anxiety or uncertainty about the arrival of something or someone within a short amount of time. This has brought up arguments between friends and/or family concerning an untrustworthy person or like you just had the rug pulled from underneath you. This has ruined the situation to the point where it is now toxic because of an enable who uses their job as a manipulation tactic to cause a woman needing support feel absolutely helpless. This could also be just to cause worry and anxiety in general.

Finally, let's wrap us this week with the Oracle of the Mermaids:

In order for you to make a positive change in your life, you may have to give something up so that you can switch up your daily routine and move toward a better situation. Doing this will allow you to take your power back and embrace your ability to do as you please whilst recognising the consequences of your choices for both better and worse. Unleash your true self without having to hide it in order to make others feel comfortable with your presence. Let yourself truly experience yourself as yourself and if you need to make changes to who you spend your time with so be it. They were never going to actually accept you anyway. Find those who not only will affirm who you are but embrace it as well. Yes, they can still call you out for problematic behaviour and hold you accountable but they will at least do it out of love and accepting that this is who you are even with your flaws.

 

Weekly Tarot, Oracle and Sibilla Reading for 15-21 June 2025

Hey everyone! Welcome back to another weekly reading. For this week's reading I'm using the Gay Tarot by Lee Bursten and Antonella Platano Copyright 2003 Lo Scarabeo All Rights Reserved, Messages from the Mermaids by Karen Kay and artwork by Linda Olsen Copyright 2020 Hayhouse Publishing All Rights Reserved and Sibilla Della Z*ngara (G*psy Oracle Cards) Copyright 2007 Lo Scarabeo All Rights Reserved:

A lack of confidence has lead to a need to prepare for the worse because you are not able to get the rest you need and could face burnout if nothing changes. Now you (and/or people around you) are having second thoughts but you need to use what you have to offer to so that when you are recognised for your achievements you can prove your integrity. People will apologise to you after realising someone has plagiarised or take credit for your work and that person will face the consequences of their actions. Going forward, you will need to reevaluate your priorities and focus on what needs to change in your life in order for you to live a happier life so that you can end this horrible chapter in place of a new one that will change your life for the better. What needs to change in your life? Have a serious think about it.

Now let's see what the Sibilla Della Zingara forecasts for the upcoming week ahead.

Feeling stuck due to a lack of money is causing a loss of control because there's was a ending that lead to a positive change in your situation even though there were also setbacks. A loss (or perhaps an actual thief getting caught and you will get your goods back or at least justice for their crime.) will expose the secrets of wrongdoing from someone that will help make your life better.

Finally, let's wrap this reading up with the Messages from the Mermaids Oracle:

Know your worth. Rest when you need it. Don't let others decide who you get to be. This is an opportunity to learn from past mistakes and terrible experiences so that you don't repeat them anymore going forward. You will need to address any underlying issue you're facing or it's only going to eat at you over and over again and you will not be able to move forward from it. We can't always simply "get over" certain traumas or loss of loved ones in our lives but we cannot let them serve as obstacles stopping us from continuing to live our lives in spite of them not being there (deceased or estranged people) or a trauma that harmed you. Carry it with you, allow yourself to feel every emotion (especially if you are grieving), express what needs to be expressed (and yes, this may also involve meeting with a medical professional or therapist) to help guide you back on the path you need to be on so you can thrive in life rather than just survive. (No, I don't mean becoming a horrible rich person but rather living your life your way).

Any new skill, talent or hobby you wish to pursue will require a long-term commitment on your end. Really immerse yourself in it. Make it a daily routine until you get exactly what you want from it. Whether that's a new marketable skill (ex: being able to fluently speak new language or creating websites for others and get paid for it) or a new hobby that allows you to have fun and let loose (ex: learning how to salsa dance or surf). Whatever it may be let it enrich your life for the better and make the most out of it wherever you can and you will be glad you did later on.

What brings you joy in life? What little things in life put a smile on your face that you take for granted? Make a list of what makes you happy (both the big things and the mundane everyday things) then see what you can do to enhance your lifestyle with these things (whether they are tangible or metaphorical it doesn't matter). What needs to happen in order for you to make you feel content with your life. Yes, even when we are major political turmoil and having to put our physical, mental and spiritual safety at the forefront. We can't control everything that happens to us (both good and bad) and so what are you going to do in spite of these terrible events occurring. Life goes on with or without you so you might as well enjoy your time here not matter how you go about it. Do something for yourself this week even if it is simply and mundane as treating yourself to a popsicle/ice lolly/ice block/ice pole because it is extremely hot outside or a comforting hot chocolate/tea because it is freezing cold outside.

Deck Review: Gay Tarot

Hey peeps! It's time for another deck review! This time I am reviewing the (1st Edition) of the Gay Tarot by Lee Bursten and artwork by Antonella Platano. This was published by Lo Scarabeo in 2003 and was remade into a new borderless edition so I won't include the typical criticism about multi-lingual borders that so many Lo Scarabeo decks have.

Cardstock: Typical mass-market cardstock from Lo Scarabeo: Thin, flimsy and with a matte finish.

The Little White Book: As far as I know, there isn't an official guidebook for this deck but it does come with an insightful Little White Book that shows one unique spread, as well as the changes to the Major Arcana and Court card names. It doesn't include reversals. So keep that in mind if you use reversals. It also has modernised meanings of the cards that reflect life as it is today (for the most part as this deck did come out in 2003).

Diversity: This deck is catered specifically toward Gay men. All of the people in the deck are gay men from various ages and races. Whilst it is inclusive in terms of race, it is not so much when it comes to men who are not slim or muscular. News flash! Not every gay man has a body that "societally attractive". The men who don't fit that category are either not found or only found fully clothed. Whereas, the slim and muscular men get to be depicted shirtless. So keep that in mind if this is something that matters to you.

Specific theme: LGBT+ but specifically gay men. 

In spite of a few nitpicks, I actually quite enjoy using this deck and can definitely see the Smith-Waite Tarot through the images of the cards whilst sticking to a theme of the lives of gay men. Many of the images do depict modern life (well, modern as it was in 2003) that one can relate to apart from a few whimsical exceptions. They are very intuitive and you can make good use of this deck for anyone, especially for your gay male clients.

On to you: What do you think of this deck? Do you like it? Do you use it often? Do you use it for specific types of readings? If so, which circumstances is the deck best used for in your opinion? Let me know in the comments below!

Weekly Tarot, Oracle and Vera Sibilla Reading for 08-15 June 2026

Welcome to another weekly reading! For those of you who have already celebrated Pride, hope it was fun, amazing, safe and validating for you. If yours occurs later on (either this week or later on in the year) then I hope you enjoy Pride in a way that best works for you. Anyway, for this week's reading I am using the Mermaid Tarot by Leeza Robertson and artwork by Julie Dillon Copyright 2019 Llewellyn Publishing All Rights Reserved, 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, La Vera Sibilla ("Everyday Oracle") Copyright 2007 Lo Scarabeo All Rights Reserved.

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

You were able to make most of a situation that was successful even if you didn't get exactly what you wanted. There was a sudden and unexpected upheaval in your life that forced you to change your perspective and focus on self-care as it lead it physical burn out. You cannot rely on other people as much as you used to and now you have to approach certain aspects of your life on your own. You could get what you are seeking but there is a catch to obtaining it. Are you willing to accept these terms so that you can receive it? Just keep in mind that you must speak clearly and articulate exactly what it is that you need or it's not going to get done effectively or the way it needs to get done. There will be some technical issues that will create problems and miscommunication among others. Make sure you address them or you will find yourself frustrated. With that being said, there will be time to celebrate with friends and/or family that will allow you to collaborate with others who share your abilities and talents so that you can better save money and invest into something you believe in.

Moving on to the Myths and Mermaids Oracle of the Water, we have:

Whatever you are trying to accomplish you need to establish your WHY in order to make sure it happens and that it gives you the motivation to keep going with it even when the going gets tough. Don't do it because it is expected of you or that will look nice an a CV/Résumé. Do it for yourself and let that be what gets the creative juices flowing knowing that you put your own blood, sweat and tears to ensure what you want to put over there actually becomes tangible to the world. If it is not actually worth pursuing then let this be your sign to drop it for good. Don't waste your time.

 You may be tempted to do something that will give you instant gratification but it will not do anything for you later on. If you know you cannot do something because of the lack of money or resources then you need to exercise restraint in order to prevent yourself from sabotaging what it is you are looking to get done. If you have been reckless with your finances and resources then let this be your harsh reality check that you need to ground yourself and focus on what matters most to you before pursuing what's easy and feels good for you at the moment.

 Know who you are without the influence of others, even if they happen to be your friends. Discover what makes you the person you are and who you wish to become for your own sake. What do YOU want to pursue in life? Think about this without feeling like you need to ask others for permission or needing to downplay it in order to make yourself more palatable to others. Do what you know is right to do even if it is the unpopular thing to do among everyone else in your space. Don't compromise who you are to make others feel comfortable with your presence. Have something to believe in and stand up for so that you don't fall for anything that comes your way and betray who you are as a person.

Finally, let's see what the Vera Sibilla has to forecast for the upcoming week ahead:

 An important private meeting will take place concerning  an argument or separation with someone where an exchange of communication will occur with a mediator (or middle person) involved. Whilst at work you will be asked to drop something or a client because it is not worth doing (or pursuing a business relationship with) anymore. You will have to learn to get something done without any help as you navigate a trip (business trip), a relocation of the company or a change in your position or social status for the company due to ongoing rapidly changing situations.

Weekly Tarot, Oracle and Vera Sibilla for 02-09 June 2026

Happy Pride Month fellow LGBTQ+ peeps and allies! It's time for another weekly reading. For this week's reading I am using The Son Tarot: Mysticism, Meditation and Divination for Gay Men by Christopher Butler Copyright 2012 Schiffer Publishing: Red Feather MBS All Rights Reserved, Field Guide to Garden Dragons by Arwen Lynch and artwork by Stanley Morrison Copyright 2019 US Games Systems Inc All Rights Reserved, Sibilla Originale del 1890 per divinare by Isa Donelli and Osvaldo Menegazzi Copyright Il Meneghello All Rights Reserved.

Let's get started with the Son Tarot:

A situation has fallen through because you need to keep your social and work life in balance and not doing so has lead to pushing yourself beyond your limits, rushing through things to the point where it sabotages your efforts and the possibility of getting an air-borne illness because you are not taking care of yourself. A strong-willed person is determined to get what they want to the point where they don't care who they have to step on to get it. Channel this new creative and passionate energy to create something meaningful for those who matter most to you. Know who has your back versus who just want to take advantage of you for their convenience. This is a great week to new something new or invest in something new and do the work necessary to see it through to the end. With that being said, don't attempt to do more than you can physically handle. It will only cause you burn out and make it incredibly difficult for you to stay motivated when the going gets tough. Delegate tasks to others you know will get their portion of the job reliably. Re-evaluate your life choices and adjust your habits and routine to be more in alignment with where you want to go rather than where society wants you to do.

Now let's open up our Field Guide to Garden Dragons and examine how they can guide us through out field work:

Be consistent in what you do so that you can do what you enjoy with those share your passion and what to help you reach your goals successfully.

Finally, let's see what tea the Sibilla Originale del 1890 per divinare has to spill about this week's forecast:

The end of turbulent times reminds you to let go of what did not produce results. It is not worth it anymore and it is time to move on. This had to do with an extremely proud person with a huge ego in the workplace. Their foolish decisions and going off the deep end has lead to a harsh reality check concerning a very intense work environment full of lies and backstabbing that forces you to handle conflict so that you can free yourself from this toxic situation because it will run its course and come to a natural conclusion. Once you remove yourself from it, you can move on to bigger and better opportunities and not feel held back because of others in your space.

Weekly Tarot, Oracle and Sibilla Reading for 24-31 May 2026

Hello everyone! Hope everyone is having a great week so far! For this week's reading I am using L'Oracolo della Sibilla ("The Oracle of the Sibyl") by Giorgio Tavaglione and Stuart R. Kaplan Copyright 1980 US Games Systems Inc All Rights Reserved (Note: This deck is out of print and may be difficult to find.), Gay Tarot by Lee Bursten and Antonella Platano Copyright 2004 Lo Scarabeo All Rights Reserved and  Magic of Flowers Oracle by Tess Whitehurst and Anne Wertheim Copyright 2015 Llewellyn Publishing All Rights Reserved.

Let's get this week started off with L'Oracolo Della Sibilla to what it forecasts for us this week:

You (or a man in your life) has been concerned about a female relative (ex: mother, sister, cousin, etc) facing legal issues or otherwise questionable actions due to something unexpectedly amazing happening to them. There is gossip being spread about you (or concerning a man in your life) freeing yourself from a detrimental situation. This will lead to being unable to effectively express yourself due to reckless actions brought on by an adrenaline rush or shady activity going on around you. Tread carefully or you will regret it.

In spite of receiving harsh feedback, you have lived in the moment and let your hard work and effort speak for itself, leading to you being successful and well-respected among those in your personal and professional spaces. You are celebrating how far you've come with those who support you no matter what happens. Even when you are faced with dealing with someone who is more obsessed with personal gratification and they never seem satisfied with what they have and always want more. This is why you need to make sure you are not being reckless with your actions in an attempt to feel free. True freedom is not going to come from instant gratification. Take personal responsibility and accountability for what you do and don't make excuses when you know you can do better. A fallout will occur among those in your space whether it is professional or personal, you need to make sure not to make matters worse. Let them do what is necessary to rebuild and follow the instructions they give you if they need your help instead of trying to act like a hero or martyr of the situation at hand. Don't make it about you. With that being said, you will be able to seize an opportunity immediately presented to you just make sure you don't ignore your intuition. Learn to discern your personal bias versus what your intuition actually trying to say. Don't be misguided through misinformation and don't spread it yourself. Verify your information before you share it publicly with others. Especially on social media. If you are unsure about something, don't make a guess! Research it further by looking up reliable resources to get you the answer you need.

When we are in circumstances that are not ideal it is incredibly tempting to needing to force change and seek out instant gratification as soon as it happens. You are being reminded to appreciate what you already have rather than seeking out the next dopamine hit (ex: impulsive purchases you may regret later). Give yourself time to rest and relax and let things happen the way they are meant to for now. If you need help then reach out to someone you trust to get it. Don't let pride, embarrassment, or humiliation be the reason why you can't get the assistance you need. Sure it maybe humiliating at first but understand it is better for you and your situation in the long term. Get help from someone you can put your full trust in and let it give you that push to make your life that much better. Switch up your routine and try something that you've been always wanting to do but have not been willing to give a chance to do yet. Turn your bucket list into daily goals and it will enrich your life for the better. 

What is something new that you are willing to explore this week?

Weekly Tarot, Lenormand and Oracle Reading for 18-25 May 2026

Hello everyone! Hope you are having a good week so far! It's time for another weekly reading! For this week's reading I am using the Tabula Mundi Tarot: Colores Arcus by M. M. Meleen Copyright 2015 M. M. Meleen All Rights Reserved, Fantasy Guidance Oracle by Me Copyright 2015 Seidman's Magical Sanctuary All Rights Reserved and Maybe Lenormand by Ryan Edward Copyright 2016 US Games Systems Inc All Rights Reserved.

Let's get this week started off with the Tabula Mundi: Colores Arcus Edition:

An trustworthy person helps you bring new ideas into action through using your determination to stand out from the competition. What happens now is that you need to follow a step-by-step guide that will get to where you want to be that's not only realistic but actually produces results. There is no need to rush through it. Go at a pace that works best for you and if you need to extend the deadline then do it. With that being said, there will be a fleeting moment for you to act quickly and benefit for it if you choose to pursue but you had to act as soon as it presents itself to you or it will disappear. This could also refer to something that blindsides you and causes so much chaos that it forces you to look at your life and make necessary changes to your routine moving forward or you will suffer from it. Take the chance to try something totally new so that you can put an end to a chapter in your life that needs closure so that a new chapter in your life can invite positive movement forward in the right direction so that you can finally heal and be happier. Even if the grief of it still lingers. It will be well-worth it.

Let's see what the Maybe Lenormand forecasts for this week:

There was a message of love received. Now you need to put wary of any surprise encounter with someone as something may not be as it seems. If you are looking for love, your efforts will be noticed and you will get what you have been seeking. The key is knowing your worth, where your authority lies and what makes a long-lasting relationship.

Finally, let's close out this reading with an oracle deck I created myself back in 2015 that I initially called "Fantasy Guidance Cards" and then later referred to them as the "Fantasy Guidance Oracle". I may remake this deck later on with my own artwork or with another artist's artwork (as the images I used were from Public Domain No Attribution websites). If you are interested in this project getting a revamp, you can let me know in the comments. Anyway, on to the reading:

 Now is not the time to be too confrontational with people. They will not listen to you and will go out of their way to misunderstand you. Even if you are tempted to expose every wrong this person or group of people have done, it won't make the impact you think it will. In fact, it could easily backfire and cause you harm instead. Gather all the evidence you need and know that there is a time and place to release this information and unfortunately now is not the time. Sometimes, it's best to be silent when your enemy (or enemies) make (a) mistake(s) as it will reflect even worse on them than had you unleashed your (very justified) wrath on them. It may not be the desired outcome but it will be the most effective. So keep quiet and watch them expose themselves through their own mistakes.

Take some time for yourself. Whether that is to mentally unwind from the day, from colleagues, random people on public transport, people you encounter in public, etc. Make time to do something that is specific to you and only you. This could be resting, doing an art project, meditation, listening to a podcast (with meaningful content that won't stress you out) writing poetry or song lyrics or simply staying off social media and dating apps (if applicable) for a while.

Something is going to happen behind closed doors or a secret about something or someone will be revealed to you and what you do with that information (depending on what it is of course) will determine how you are going to navigate your current circumstances going forward. It may be just what you need to move on to the next step of your goals, who you can still keep in your life and who unfortunately needs to be removed from your life for the better, what your current boundaries look like (are they being respected or do you need to set stronger ones?) and what ultimately needs to change in your life in order for things to get better.

Weekly Tarot, Oracle and Sibilla Reading 12-19 May 2026

Hey everyone! Welcome to another weekly reading! For this week's reading I'm using I Misteri Della Sibilla by Ettore Maiotti Copyright 1982 Dal Negro All Rights Reserved, Oracle of the Mermaids by Lucy Cavendish and Selina Fenech Copyright 2013 Blue Angel Publishing All Rights Reserved and  Mermaid Tarot by Leeza Robertson and Julie Dillon Copyright 2019 Llewellyn Publishing All Rights Reserved. 

Without further ado, let's see what I Misteri Della Sibilla forecasts for the upcoming week ahead:

A period of stress and insecurity has brought forth a lack of inspiration until the end of difficult period heralded a crucial message that was delayed. A solution is ready after experiencing disappointment and you will finally be able to have good luck and success going forward. Any negative thought-forms were due to a poor judgement call that can easily be rectified and you will be introduced to someone who can help find a solution to your current predicament. Even if it requires a bit of patience on your end. It will be worth it. Just hang in there a little while longer.

Moving on to the Oracle of the Mermaids:

Use this week to create something worthwhile and bring new energy to spark a positive shift in your life of the better. Take care of your physical and sexual health. Allow yourself to experience pleasure whilst remembering to hydrate yourself, getting exercise (whatever that looks like to you) and eating healthy (especially, making sure you get enough fibre/fiber). As these will help you feel invigorated and prevent illnesses wherever possible. Allow yourself to change and evolve as your circumstances change. Be open to trying something outside of your comfort zone. It might just be exactly what you are looking for. Breath life into what you create so that it can be use to inspire and potentially even benefit others over time (obviously not at your expense but to your benefit as well). Stay consistent whenever possible to ensure the best results. Do something to give back to nature. Such as participating in a clean up project at a park, at the beach, in the ocean or planting (non-invasive) trees (or other plants) that will benefit the land around you.

Finally, let's see what the Mermaid Tarot has to say to wrap up this reading:

A painful mistake made prompted a call for open and honest conversation about one's lack of confidence in what they do. You will need to continue putting in the effort in what you do so that you can have more leeway into putting your own new creative spin on it. Finish what you start. Be honest, articulate and compassionate with not only yourself but with others you happen to collaborate with even if they aren't the most ideal or had caused issues and disappointments in the past. Going forward you need to have more realistic expectations, get out of your head and go at your own pace. No need to rush.

Weekly Tarot, Oracle and Il Vostro Destino Reading for 3-10 May 2026

Welcome to another weekly reading! I am writing this blog on the day before my birthday. How exciting! (3 May 2026)! For this week's reading I am using the Shaman Tarot by Massimilliano Filadoro and artwork by Sabrina Ariganello and Alessia Pastorello Copyright 2010 Lo Scarabeo All Rights Reserved, Mermaids and Dolphins and Magical Creatures of the Seas by Gilliam Kemp, artwork by Jacqui Mair and the borders designed by Emma Garner Copyright 2018 Cico Books All Rights Reserved and Il Vostro Destino Copyright Masenghini Bergamo All Rights Reserved.

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

There was a period of self-reliance and financial stability thanks to a contract, offer or collaboration with someone or a group of people that made it possible to make more money. Now you have made your choice you are now able to address the lack of teamwork that is causing everyone to work independently and in an unconventional manner. This will bring you a much-needed fresh start that will require you to take decisive action or will lead to confusion, a lack of money or becoming sick. Don't be too reckless with your time, money and resources of it will come back to bite you later. Impulse control is necessary to circumnavigate these potential stumbling blocks so it doesn't negatively impact your life later on.

Now let's move on to the Mermaids and Dolphins and Magical Creatures of the Sea Oracle:

You will have something to celebrate and perhaps get the opportunity to go on vacation/holiday through the efforts you made to reach a specific goal or dream and now it's being realised in real time. Let this success give you the insight to know that delayed gratification will ultimately be more beneficial and help motivate and inspire you to overcome whatever obstacle you are currently facing. You know what you are capable of so don't underestimate yourself when you could use some extra help, education or tools to help you get to where you need to be. Celebrate how far you've come even if you still aren't where you want to/need to be yet. You will eventually get there so don't give up. If it is too difficult then change your approach, delegate tasks to those who can do what you are unable to and be willing to open to new possibilities that you didn't previously know where available to you.

Finally, let's wrap this reading up with what Il Vostro Destino's forecast for this week:

A misunderstanding with a condescending woman concerning beneficial help being received because of problems in the workplace and in their personal life that has motivated them to make changes to their current situation through finding a resolution to a current issue. This will lead to receiving good news, having an unexpected visit from family, friends or acquaintances but it comes with various inconveniences because of long delays or difficult tasks needing to be taken care of before you can actually take the next step.

Weekly Tarot, Oracle and Lenormand Reading for 27 April-04 May 2026

 Hey everyone! Welcome to another weekly reading. For this week I'm using decks that exclusively use the artwork of the amazingly talented Ciro Marchetti: Oracle of Visions Copyright 2014 US Games Systems Inc All Rights Reserved, Tarot of Dreams by Lee Bursten Copyright 2015  US Games Systems Inc All Rights Reserved and Gilded Reverie Lenomrand: Expanded Edition Copyright 2017 All Rights Reserved.

Let's get started with what the Gilded Reverie Lenomand: Expanded Edition forecasts for this week:

There was concern about your health (or a man in your life's health). This is forcing you to take a risk causing burdens because a difficult decision must be made. Going forward, you will be able to express yourself openly and honestly with someone with a strong personality affectionately. A risk to your health needs to be addressed alongside your uncertainty about your love life. A contributing factor to this is what you an important decision you make will require you to be strong (ex: setting firm boundaries with others). Theme for this week: Healing will make you (or a man in your life) feel stronger. Overall, a risk creating uncertainty is due to a burdensome separation.

Let's move on to the Oracle of Visions:

Develop your skills and be willing to learn and continue to strengthen your skills and talents so that you can use what your education to obtain a new job, a promotion or open opportunities that reflect what you have to offer to the world. (ex: presenting your offerings at an event, birthday party, wedding, convention, etc) But you first must free yourself from barriers holding you back mentally (ex: detrimental mindsets), physically (ex: taking care of yourself and allowing yourself to recover properly), and spiritually (ex: cord-cutting, psychic protection, hexing, binding, cursing, etc) or you are going to find yourself trapped in a repetitive cycle that will stop you from getting what you know you deserve because you've put the effort into it. Don't underestimate yourself and pursue it even if you may not be 100% ready and you've be surprised what's available to you.

Finally, let's wrap up this week with the Tarot of Dreams:

A disappointment lead to a decision being made with a clear mind but it came with pushing yourself too harsh (both physically and mentally) to the point where you either gotten sick or got close to getting sick. Now you need to focus on making more time for yourself and holding others accountable who rely too heavily on you. This is especially true when it comes to a situation that you've completely lost control of and now you had to be honest about your limits are and be willing to accept the consequences from the aftermath of the situation. You need to unpack something that is affecting you on a subconscious level and bring it to the surface. Put yourself in an environment that will allow you to clear your mind and allow your thoughts to flow freely. Whether that's through journalling, meditation, doing shadow work, recording your dreams after you wake up, through an art project or whatever will allow you uncover these messages so that they can guide you where you need to be. Beware of reckless spending, friends who don't have your back or are only using you for their own benefit and those who only show interest in you for the sake of a one off sexual hookup rather than a romantic relationship. If you have been waiting for someone to get back with you this week then you will hear back from with an answer. Whether or not this is positive or negative will depend on you and your specific circumstances. This could be feedback with criticism followed by the appropriate action being taken for better or worse.

Weekly Tarot, Oracle and Vera Sibilla Reading for 21-28 April 2026

Hey everyone! Welcome to another weekly reading! For this week's reading I'm using the Llewellyn Tarot by Anna-Marie Ferguson Copyright 2006 Llewellyn Publishing All Rights Reserved, Oracle of the Mermaids by Lucy Cavendish and Selina Fenech Copyright 2013 Blue Angel Publishing All Rights Reserved and La Vera Sibilla Copyright Masenghini All Rights Reserved.

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

A difficult choice being made lead to a continuing of positive movement forward but there was a deception impacting your current situation. This is currently causing having second thoughts and not being able to complete a crucial task. This is going to cause a sudden and unexpected change to occur that will force you to reevaluate where you are and move forward in a more constructive manner. There will be messages of support from friends, family or from a licensed professional (ex: therapist) (either on social media, through text messages on your phone or even through a phone call or email). With that being said, don't let someone's harsh words or your own personal shortcomings stop you from having open and honest communication where needed. Follow the advice of a trusted individual or at the very least trust your intuition to guide you in the right direction. Be willing to see things from others' points of view and forgive them for what they've done to wrong you. (Assuming they are worthy of your forgiveness. If you can't forgive them then enforce a strong boundary with them going forward.) 

Moving on to the Oracle of the Mermaids:

You are not able to express who you are and that is causing an internal conflict within yourself and how others perceive you. What's holding you back from being your true self with those around you? Is it a safety issue? Are you afraid that people won't like you if they discover this specific aspect about you? Surround yourself with people you can trust and know will have your back even when you are faced with an issue that is humiliating so that you can get the support you need to deal with it. You do not have to do it on your own. This is also impacting your ability to see what's going on around you. People's words are not matching up with their actions and this deception is causing chaos and suffer ing in your immediate space. You need to pay close attention to the red flags around you so you can get out a terrible situation before it gets worse and being forced to deal with the aftermath of it. Let your intuition be what allows you to easily spot a potentially dangerous situation and remove yourself from it before something bad happens to you. Observe those around you. What are they saying versus what they are doing. Is there a contradiction there? If there is then let this be the sign you need to leave immediately and not look back. Your privacy also seems to be of great concern to you. Are you taking all the necessary measures to keep your personal information safe from others? (Ex:VPNs (Virtual Private Networks), using sites like Icogni to get opt-out of databroker websites and keeping all your information private and secure to prevent yourself from being swatted or doxxed.) Make you take time for yourself without interruptions from anyone. This will allow you to have time for yourself without feeling like you're exposing yourself to the world. Reset your social battery and let yourself rest and relax here and there too. I know this may be quite difficult for extraverted people but it will be worth it even if it is just for 30 to an hour each day.

Finally let's see what the Vera Sibilla forecasts for this week, shall we?:

Distrust in a new relationship because of reckless behaviour. This has to do with suffering coming to an end after experiencing a loss whilst travelling or out and about. A bad start with a helpful woman as everything is wrapping up. An untrustworthy person is taking advantage of this generous woman and this will cause a small trip to be cancelled. This was all influenced by happiness and achievement after enduring a difficult period in spite of dealing with someone who lacks accountability or a bad start.

Weekly Tarot, Oracle and Vera Sibilla Reading for 13-20 April 2026

Hey everyone! Hope your week is going well. For this week's reading I am using the Bonefire Tarot (1st Edition) by Gabi Angus-West Copyright 2016 Schiffer Publishing: Red Feather MBS All Rights Reserved, La Vera Sibilla Italiana ("Everyday Oracle Cards") Copyright 2007 Lo Scarabeo All Rights Reserved and Myths and Mermaids: Oracle of the Water by Jasmine Becket-Griffith, Amber Logan and Kachina Mickeletto Copyright 2014 Blue Angel Publishing All Rights Reserved.

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

If you have more than enough then why not share with those who could use your help? You could volunteer at a food bank, donate to charity, give a homeless person food or money (but don't try to take it back if you don't want them spending it on alcohol or drugs. That's not generosity, that's inflicting violence on them. Also don't take photos of yourself doing charity work and posting it on social media and claim you are being selfless when really all you are doing is inflating your ego. Knock it off.  One more thing: voluntourism is NOT helpful nor is it ethically responsible for you to do as you are not actually helping people but using White Supremacy (yes, even if you are not white yourself) to embarrass people in genuine need. Don't do it. Find other ethical means before attempting colonialism via voluntourism.) Now, if you are the one needing help, what resources can you use to get yourself back on track? Who can you trust to ask for what you need? Do what is necessary to get it. Yes, even if it feels embarrassing. It's better than having to suffer unnecessarily. So put your fear and pride aside and let people help you out.

You are indecisive about a crucial decision needing to be made and not feeling confident with the options given to you. Choose the option that's going to best for you and your current circumstances. Even if the choices are all beneficial, you are only able to pick one at this moment in time. So choose wisely! There is a dependable and generous person who will take an unconventional approach in dealing with a power-hungry or otherwise irresponsible person who is forcing you to stand up for yourself. You have their support even when you least expect it. It may feel like everyone and everything is working against you at this moment in time but keep going and you will see that you get exactly what you are looking for even if the timing doesn't feel right at this moment. Finally, it is time to moving away from what is holding you back, accept that it cannot be changed or has left your life and allow yourself to finally move in a direction that gets you where you know you need to be even if it is filled with great uncertainty and doubt at first. You cannot stay where you are at any longer so do what is needed to facilitate this change. 

You are out of excuses. Get to it!

Moving on the the Myths and Mermaids: Oracle of the Water to see what messages they can inspire us with for the upcoming week ahead:

Who are you really versus what façade are you putting on to keep the peace rather than stand up for yourself? Finding our true self requires a lot of unpacking depending on your life's circumstances and what you were forced to hide when you were young and what you still hide now as an adult. It is discovering who you were before you were forced to conform to society's values and beliefs that conflict with yours. It can take years and may require meeting with a therapist (or other licensed professional) to help you uncover the self you were truly meant to be versus what you have settled for. What needs to happen in order for you to express yourself fully, authentically and without censorship? Journal about this question and really contemplate what you can do to finally live the life that is meant for you and your journey.

     You might feel incredibly inspired to act on something that will be incredibly life changing but you are not fully ready yet.  There is something missing and if you rush into something new haphazardly it will blow up in your face. This is a warning that something that's not addressed will come to the surface and force you to face it. If you are looking for a new job or promotion, now is not the time to go for it but rather figure out what is still missing before you pursue it. Otherwise, you will sabotage yourself and it will hurt big time. So use this time to prepare for your next big move but don't make the huge step until you have everything you need to actually go for it.

 You will need to face uncomfortable and unfamiliar territory this week. This doesn't necessarily mean its a bad thing but it will definitely bring up feels of uncertainty. Sometimes in order to get what we want we must experience the great unknown. Not knowing what is going to happen next but continuing on anyway.

Finally. let's see what the Vera Sibilla forecasts for this week:

Money required you to put the effort in so that you could successfully obtain it and end any issues that came up. This warns of imminent danger or blackmail from a partner who betrayed you and either you will discover a shocking secret about them or your skeletons in your closet are about to be revealed at an event that will cause misunderstandings among your personal group of friends and/or colleagues that will lead to a lack of direction or experiencing a loss of some kind. Tread carefully. It's about to get ugly out there.
 

Deck Review: Oracle of the Shapeshifters (Australian 2nd Edition)

 Hello everyone! Welcome to another deck review! This time I am reviewing the Australian 2nd Edition of the Oracle of the Shapeshifters. So what do I mean by 2nd Australian edition? Well, when this deck and the Oracle of Shadows and Light came out in the US, many cards were changed and the guidebook was altered to be catered to teenagers for some reason (not sure why that was or what the purpose of it was but the American versions were published by an entirely different company separate from Blue Angel in spite of the guidebook still be written by Lucy Cavendish and artwork by Jasmine Becket-Griffith. There is now a 3rd edition of the Australian version of Oracle of the Shapeshifters so my version won't look like the current version on the market. So keep that in mind.

Cardstock: Sturdy with glossy finish. This may have changed in the most recent edition of this deck.

The Guidebook: The guidebook contains information on shapeshifters and how to work with them, 3 unique spreads relevant to this deck, information of shapeshifting and change in our lives, how to work with the cards and then finally is followed up by the card meanings which includes the following: a thumbnail of the card image, the message written on the card itself,  [Title of card] speaks, about [title of the card] and finally a divination message for the card itself. There are no reversals in this deck and there isn't even a mention of them.

Can you read this deck without having to rely on the guidebook? Yes, most of the cards make it simple enough to give your intuition a hit needed to give you a meaningful reading. However, if you really want to make the most out of this deck then I would suggest working the guidebook to get a more in-depth message that can help you best work with each card.

Beginner friendly? Yes, this deck is absolutely approachable for beginners. The guidebook will only help expand your ability to better read the cards. Especially, when working with the theme of this deck which is change through courageous action.

Diversity: Out of the 45 cards, there are only 3 cards that depict someone who is obviously not a white person. It is definitely better than nothing but there could have been more. Keep this in mind if this is crucial factor for you when determining whether or not to purchase this deck.

Theme: Shapeshifting. This deck is aimed at making significant life changes and holding yourself to these changes.

How balanced is this deck? Out of the 45 cards this deck, here is how it can be broken down to:

Positive: 21

Neutral: 15

Negative: 10

This deck does tend to lean toward the positive. However, if you combine the neutral and negative cards together, there are more of them than the positive cards. Since this is a deck about asking a question and then acting on the message you receive, it can challenge you and help you work with shadows (or what's hidden or suppressed in your life that needs to be addressed so that you have the courage to change your life for the better).

Overall, this is a great shadow work deck to work with. Especially when dealing with issues with change and needing to act into order to make a significant change in your life.

On to you: What do you think of this deck? Which version of this deck do you own (1st, 2nd, or 3rd Australian Edition or American Edition)? Do you own both the American and Australian decks? If so, which one do you prefer? (And which editions of each version do you have?) Do you use it often? Do you exclusively use this deck for when you need a change in your life? Do you use it with other decks? If so, which decks do you think pair best with this deck? Let me know in the comments below!

Deck Review: Oracle of the Hidden Worlds

 Hi everyone! Let's have a look an oracle deck that I feel don't use that often but can provide quite insightful readings no less: Oracle of the Hidden Worlds by Lucy Cavendish and artwork by Gilbert Williams. This deck was published by Blue Angel Publishing in 2019. The box is typical of what you can expect from Blue Angel which is a nice sturdy box to store you cards in. When I purchased this deck it did come with a random black white paper. Not sure why that was necessary but something to keep in mind when purchasing this deck.

Cardstock: Sturdy with a smooth matte finish.

The guidebook: The guidebook contain information on the Hidden Worlds, how to work with the cards, 4 spreads unique to this deck itself as well as Lucy Cavendish's unique take on the Celtic Cross spread and of course, the card meanings with a thumbnail of each card, their keywords, a few paragraphs about each card and an illumination for each card.

Whilst this deck mentions reversals, Lucy Cavendish does not provide reversals for each card itself. This is due to 34 out of the 44 cards being landscape whilst only 10 of the cards being portrait. Personally, this is something I really don't like oracle card decks doing. Just pick one format and stick to it. I get that it might not have been possible to do so but this inconsistency throws off the deck slightly. Especially, you do want to use reversals.

With that being said, Lucy Cavendish does give a heads up on how to tell if a landscape card is reversed in the reversals section.

Can you read this deck without having to rely on the guidebook? Yes, there are enough keywords on the card itself to make it accessible for those who want to read it directly out of the box.

Beginner friendly? Yes, this deck is absolutely approachable to beginners and the guidebook will only enhance their readings. The guidebook's illumination can even expand on the reading by giving it an affirmation to strengthen it. 

Diversity: There are 18 out of 44 cards that portray only locations without people, fairies or angels. The characters that aren't portrayed with a transparent white colour are very clearly white people. There are no obvious non-white people portrayed at all in this deck. Whilst there aren't really any depictions of couples in this deck, apart from maybe The Path of the Gods card to indict any couples let alone LGBT+ characters. If this is crucial factor for you in determining whether or not to purchase this deck then keep that in mind.

How balanced is this deck? Out of the 44 cards in this deck, here is how it can be broken down to:

Positive: 17

Neutral: 27

Negative: 0

This deck tends to lean toward neutral. You could read reversals to help bring balance to this deck by having negative aspects of each card. Otherwise, this would work great alongside a tarot, lenormand, kipper, vera sibilla, other fortunetelling deck or with another divination like Runes.

Specific theme: The Astral Plane's Hidden Worlds (Ex: Afterlife, In-Between, Faerie Lands, Angelic Realms, Dream Worlds, Galactic Worlds (especially if you are into Star-Seed ideology) and Beyond the Veil). This deck's aim is to get answers to best life your life by connecting to these Hidden Worlds.

This deck is definitely not one of my favourites when it comes to Lucy Cavendish's abundance of oracle decks. As someone who is NOT a New-Ager nor works with the Star-Seed archetype (I did explore it way back in 2017 but it ultimately did not resonate with me and my beliefs). If the Star-Seed archetype and exploring galactic realms is your thing then you may actually enjoy this deck. Some keywords were incredibly weak and I didn't feel like I could necessarily get it to fully relate to specific circumstance without it sounding vague. The guidebook wasn't as in-depth like previous (and subsequent) decks done by Lucy Cavendish. Whilst the artwork is gorgeous and very evocative I just feel like it just wasn't enough to be used effectively as it could have been. I feel like there could have been more information added to the guidebook to help solve this issue.

Overall, this deck can be used a great clarifying deck in a reading, for ritual or meditation use as a daily affirmation. This is especially great for those who like to connect to the astral realms, identify with the Star-Seed (or similar) archetypes and perhaps for those who specially work with the Akashic Records.
