Good morning!
Another gorgeous sunny day - but very cold and windy! Didn't stop Maisie going in for a swim though... brrr!
I hope you had a good weekend? I had a proper 'chill out' day on Saturday - in other words, I was very lazy and didn't do a thing :)
However, I made up for it yesterday, ticking a lot of 'things to do in January' off my list - including putting loads of boxes up in the attic, which meant I was up and down a ladder most of the the day. I'm paying for it today, with aching muscles... I live in a bungalow so I'm not used to using stairs often, let alone climbing ladders!
I felt very pleased with myself and what I managed to get done, so it was worth it and I rewarded myself with an evening of great Sunday night TV! Got to Dance, Dancing on Ice, and Sherlock! All excellent! Can't believe there'll be no more Sherlock until 2013 though :(
Well, I have a proper Manic Monday ahead of me, so I'd better get on with the cards and messages for today!
I'm using The Wisdom of Avalon Oracle Cards this week. Here is a slideshow of some of the beautiful cards in this deck:
Whatever your star sign - have a great day :)

Quoted from the pack: "The Wisdom of Avalon Oracle Cards by Colette Baron-Reid is a 52 card divination system - an inspirational tool to bridge the unseen world of Spirit and the physical world of our day-to-day lives. Based on the rich mythology of ancient Britain's Isle of Avalon and the wisdom teachings of its priestesses, these cards (and the accompanying guidebook) will help you find valuable and powerful insights in all aspects of life as you chart your path and manifest your destiny with clarity and purpose."
My personal card for today:
THE MERLIN - alchemy, justice, balance.
Divinatory meaning: The Merlin is the messenger of initiation and alchemy and is both the Magician and the High Priest. He is the masculine keeper of magic and has the ability to turn iron ore into gold. The Merlin says "You have all you need to move forward. Rejoice that all the elements you require for success are indeed present!"
You are given notice that, when it comes to your life and it’s purpose, the magical aspect of the Merlin can be summoned to help you find an answer within you. When the Merlin appears, he tells you that justice will be done in all matters of your query, but not by any forceful action. Instead, ask yourself what you need to do to bring balance into your life. Are you working too hard, perhaps over-thinking things? Do you have enough downtime?
The answers you seek are not found in obvious places. It’s time to go within, through meditation and prayer, and ask the Spirit world of the Merlin’s magical influence to send you signs and omens to help you chart your course. The Merlin says he will lend you his wisdom and magic on this leg of your journey, until you can claim it as your own.
His message is always: “Be in the world, but not of it, and wear it only as a loose cloak about your shoulders.” You will never have to look outside yourself for answers when the Merlin appears. Remember, all signs and omens sent by the Merlin are but reflections of that which is within you already.
Today's cards for each of the star signs:
Due to lack of time, etc. These are the 'quick reading' messages - for the full reading and meaning of the cards you will need to obtain these cards for yourself - or get someone else to buy them for you as a gift!
Here are your messages and insights for today. Try to sit quietly for a few moments, meditate on your card and think about how you can learn from, and act upon, its message...
Aries:
THE RAVEN - magic, coincidence, synchronistic events
Quick reading: When the Raven appears, it's a sign of magic, where coincidence and Divine synchronicity bring surprising elements together. The Raven reminds you that on the path to wholeness, the magic of Avalon appears and all things become possible. Believe in magic and you cannot help but see it. Magic lives within belief itself! Expect the unexpected and prepare to be amazed.
Taurus:
THE HAWK - omens, messages
Quick reading: When Hawk appears, expect a message to be delivered to you to aid you in your quest. Perhaps a telephone call from a friend, or a chance meeting with someone, or an overheard conversation will reveal an answer to your question. You will know it when it comes. Be open to messages from others, and be aware of omens and signs in nature. The world is constantly attempting to communicate with us, but we human beings have forgotten how to listen.
Gemini:
THE OWL - deception, wisdom
Quick reading: The Owl lends you eyes that you need in order to see in the dark around you. Watch for deception by others. Be honest with yourself and snap out of any lies and denial inside you. All is well with the Owl to guide you. Deep wisdom into human nature is gained through the ability to recognize untruths. Owl is an important and powerful ally.
Cancer:
THE SERPENT - knowledge, healing
Quick reading: The Serpent's message is one of healing and of gaining knowledge. Whatever situation you're in right now is meant for this purpose. Perhaps it is time to read a book or take a class in order to gain more understanding of your enquiry, or you may need to ask questions of others who 'know' and can help you. Perhaps you need to rest, meditate and allow the knowledge to come to consciousness. Or maybe you just need to sleep more.
Leo:
THE DRAGON - Power, strength
Quick reading: The Dragon comes to offer you its power and strength, to protect and fortify you on this leg of your journey. The Dragon symbolizes true power and reminds you that this infinite source is not found within your personality or ego. Watch for a signal - the Dragon always makes the next step clear, and gives you the power to take it.
Virgo:
THE DOG - loyalty, sincerity, unconditional love
Quick reading: The Dog is the most loyal animal to human beings. When Dog appears on your path, he reminds you of this trait. Are you steadfast with your loved ones? Are you true to yourself and your dreams? Do you act with sincerity? It's very important to do so now, for good fortune comes with the faithful Dog as your companion.
Libra:
THE COW - nourishment, abundance, asking, receiving
Quick reading: The Cow says, “Nourishment is never-ending when I appear on your path. Don’t forget to till the soil so that grass may grow. Do your part, and I will do mine with joy. Ask, and you will receive all the blessings I have to offer.” The Cow reminds you that there is no shortage of blessings in the world. Ask to partake in infinite abundance, and you will, indeed, get exactly what you need.
Scorpio:
THE HORSE - accepting help from another, delegating authority
Quick reading: The Horse appears on your path to offer assistance. If you’re asking a question about your life, the Horse says that you will indeed receive help from another to aid you on your quest. Assistance is for the asking. Trust that when horse appears, help is yours. Remember to ask for it, and also remember to accept it when it's offered.
Sagittarius:
THE BEE - luck, industriousness, sweet victory
Quick reading: With hard work and a firm commitment to building your dream, a sweet outcome is assured. The Bee is a symbol of luck, so expect miracles and your life will be victorious and sweet. The Bee is an industrious, busy creature that’s always making honey. The Bee “gets busy,” and that honey will soon be yours. The Bee is always a fortunate omen.
Capricorn:
WEALTH
Quick reading: This is the marker of abundance and success, and the achievement of a goal. Know that wealth includes sharing, for this card is also a reminder to give something away to help another - be it money, time or anything of value. Sharing will always ensure the flow of wealth. This marker is a very fortunate omen.
Aquarius:
PERCEPTION
Quick reading: This marker requires you to contemplate how you look at the world. This is the time to slow down to observe from all angles. This calls for objectivity and a willingness to examine your life and others' through a neutral pair of eyes. Perception is everything. Once you have shifted your perception, you may find that this was all that you needed to do!
Pisces:
THE WASP - anger, retaliation, jealousy
Quick reading: Be mindful of how you address the world when Wasp appears. If you’re not careful you may sting or be stung. Don’t waste your stinger on a petty quarrel. Are you jealous or envious, or the victim of someone who is? Send love, light and compassion, and stay clear of the sting. The Wasp sends an omen of warning to protect yourself as well.
