I asked for clarity on the future of the British monarchy. There has been much speculation about this in recent times. I drew 3 cards for the immediate situation, covert situation and outcome.
I wanted to encapsulate it in 3 short phrases, 1 for each card according to my ‘intuition’:
Divine transformation; initiation; new ‘divine’ marriage between the people and ‘the king’.
I have looked at this before and each time, instead of feeling that the monarchy will end completely, I get that it will be truly transformed. The devine feminine energy here seems very strong, hinting of a very different type of institution, perhaps not an institution in any normal sense. The sense of the devine is strong in all 3 of these cards.
Of course, I may be wrong. Maybe this will be a reinstatement of the spiritual relationship between the people and the monarch, I don’t know. I am thinking of a kind of priest king or queen. But watch this space, I think developments are imminent, certainly by spring if not much sooner.

Today marks something new and practical which can be achieved, not only personally but in a wider sense. We may hear news regarding the economy, or money, such as crypto, or equally, important new developments politically.
In the background some long standing emotional issues, relating to family, health and similar concerns have finally drawn to a close, although this may be far less obvious. It is time to move on because, inevitably, cycles do end and we have to let go to progress in our everyday and spiritual lives. Letting go can be the hardest thing.
Nevertheless, it is also important to retain certain fundamental traditions and roots from the past. For example, it’s not logical to tar everyone and everything with the same brush if certain long standing institutions are found to be a corrupting influence. There are good people everywhere, and although there are ongoing conflicts, disruption and change, we have to bring something from the past with us for the sake of stability and humanity. Very often these roots are cultural and spiritual – we must guard against wholesale revolution, which only brings misery and degredation. Look at the lessons from the past.

I drew a three card spread for today, Friday November 12.
Card 1 in the centre is the overt energy, card 2 on the left is the covert situation, and card 3 on the right is the resolution or outcome. If you like, these cards represent the Sun, Moon and Saturn. For this spread I used the AGM 1JJ Swiss Tarot (TDM).
Card 1 is the Empress, indicating that today’s energy is feminine, quite fitting for a Friday. Here I see the Empress as an benign authority, understanding, trustful, yet firm when need be, a just arbiter. The Empress is number 3 in the major arcana and is therefore also quite creative when solutions are needed.
Card 2 is the Lovers, number 6 in the MA. It would seem that much can solved quietly today, a good day to spend with that special person and have the night in. In the background, there is a sense of relief, of coming through a problem, a feeling that fences can and are being mended.
Card 3 is the Page of Wands. Today is also a good day to start something new, to reach out and go that extra mile in good faith. There could be good news in regard to spiritual issues.
Overall today feels more positive, therefore. Trust and understanding will go a long way, as long as we don’t bend the rules too much.
