Weekly Tarot, Oracle and Lenormand reading for 10-17 August 2026

Hey everyone! Welcome to another weekly reading! For this week's reading I am using the Druidcraft Tarot by Philip Car-Gomm, Stephanie Car-Gomm and artwork by Wil Worthington Copyright 2005 St. Marten's Press All Rights Reserved, The Prince Lenormand Oracle by Ethony Copyright 2015 Ethony All Rights Reserved and Mermaids and Dolphins and Magical Creatures of the Sea Oracle by Gillian Kemp, artwork by Jacqui Mair and borders designed by Emma Garner Copyright 2018 CICO Books All Rights Reserved:

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

Travelling due to a break up or separation of some sort that has lead to more independence. Now there's a need for an open and honest conversation through either a short phone call or back and forth text messages. Doing this will lead to relying on oneself instead of luck, making more time for yourself and keeping your priorities in check. Then you will be able to receive the help you need to overcome a difficult situation and you may find that improves rather quickly once you receive it.

Moving on to see what the Prince Lenormand Oracle has to forecast for this week:

There was a discussion with a determined elderly woman.  The long-winded chat on the phone was successful. This is now opening up conversations with friends about progress being made. A woman (or you) are going to meet up with a friend at an event. Which in turn will lead to you (or a man in your life) having a successful event. This is because of your (or a man in your life's) strong morals in what you do. Long-lasting success will come slowly for you (or man in your life). Keep going!

Finally, let's see what the Mermaids and Dolphins and Magical Creatures of the Sea Oracle has wrap up this week with:

 Your expectations for what needs to be done will get accomplished based on your plan of action. This will in turn build your confidence in knowing that you can to do anything you set your mind to within your own physical and mental limits whilst allowing you to get assistance for what you cannot do or cannot do on your own. This passion will inspire you to put your heart and soul into what you to do make it uniquely yours. Doing what you love will show in what you do so pursue what makes you happy no matter what whether it's finding a romantic partner, making new friends, travelling the globe, creating exquisite artwork, taking up a new hobby or routine or whatever you need to make life worth living and being able to make the most of it. Especially, when life gets challenging. Find your why.

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.

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.
