Tarot Reading: Will England Retain its Monarchy?

I have asked this question previously, in fact several times. Each time I do not get a definitive no. I have got the impression that the monarchy will remain but in a different form.

So I asked the question again, and I got a broadly similar answer. I used a three card spread, as I often do, the centre card being the overt position, the left card the covert position and the right card the outcome or resolution position.

The three of wands is a generally positive reply. For me this card corresponds to the third decanate of Aries, ruled by Jupiter. I think the monarchy’s future will come up for some debate rather soon, but not to remove it, at least I don’t think so. The three of wands is quite expansive, forward thinking, even joyous, creative, so I think we could see a very different monarchy in the future, one that both harkens back to the past, spiritually, but also looks forward to new possibilities. This might mean a change of dynasty, or in the role of the monarch.

The Fool in the covert position is an indication that in the background the discussion about the monarchy’s future is already being seriously debated – and I don’t think anything is being ruled out. Some of the controversies involving some members of the Royal Family will have certainly contributed to the situation. The Fool represents primal energy, endless possibility, but also cautions one to ponder on decisions. Look at the dog scratching The Fool’s leg; is he trying to caution him? I think we are being warned here not to ‘throw the baby out with the bath water’, so to speak. The monarchy is the one steadfast element remaining in the English ‘constitution’ and I believe nations will remain an important factor in the future. Yes, changes are almost certainly needed but we should be careful what some of us may wish for.

The resolution card is The World, card 21, which also adds up to three. For me this indicates that the future decision in regard to the English/British monarchy will have a profound and universal effect. It would seem that England, and thereby Great Britain too, stands to have much influence in the future world, particularly its new monarchy, whatever form that may take. I do not think this means a united world ruled by the British monarchy! No, that would be awful; however, it could be that somehow it will become a spiritual beacon for the rest of the independent nations of the world to follow, however unlikely that might seem right now.

World Tarot Reading for Sunday January 9: Time to Begin Anew

Today is the day to begin something new, especially in regard to the way we think and communicate. It is also a good time to reestablish links with our local communities.

In the background, however, as a backcloth to this, there is some upheaval, changes which may well be disruptive, though not necessarily seen in plain sight or understood.

Nevertheless, rest assured that anything begun this day will potentially have long lasting practical value in establishing new modes and methods in the immediate future.

Tarot Reading for the World – January 8: Changes afoot

A theme I have been getting a lot of recently; changes afoot, some of which may be drastic; endings and new beginnings, the latter changes in regard to travel, communication and media usually being obscured.

That said, today is also a good time to cross the Ts and dot the Is in any practical work, to ease the process of change which is definitely occurring despite most appearances. This is important work and a sure sign of progress as the 7 of coins indicates. Any detailed work in regard to health and efficiency should go well.

Tarot Reading for Friday January 7

Change is in the air. Change materially, financially but also spiritually. Their is an ongoing shakeup and today may seem some significant developments that cannot be ignored.

The old ways, the old stories, cannot stay forever. The ensuing unsettlement – and today’s energy feels somewhat unsettled – is only part of the process. There are only so many fingers one can put in the dam before it breaks. But that deluge is not quite yet. We don’t know when that might be.

However, covering all this, there is also a benign, steadfast authority looking out for us today. Call it God, or the universe, but ultimately all will be well if we have faith.

Tarot Reading January 4 2022: Trust the Process…

I drew 3 major arcana, hinting that today could be significant for the world.

It’s time to trust the process. Perhaps we feel nothing is happening and there is equally nothing we can do about it. It’s probably true, but in the background much is happening, slates are being wiped clean and something new and bright and meaningul will emerge. Ultimately, we are more secure than we know, someone powerful and beneficient is looking out for us. As Julian of Norwich said, “All will be well…”
