Good morning!
Very cold, blustery, wet and miserable day today - and I'm not feeling at my best either, as I have a headache, my throat is sore and I feel like I may be coming down with something :(
I don't have time to be ill - so I shall just have to take some more painkillers and get on with my work. I have a busy day, and weekend ahead!
Whatever your star sign - I hope you have a good weekend and I'll be back on Monday, with change of cards :)
Brightest Blessings,
Kaz

My personal card for today:
Art of Joy / Lightness / Fun
She is always ready to leap joyously into a situation, grinning mischievously and fluttering her lovely wings as she lands in your soup, on your clean shirt, or in your very serious thoughts. She’s out to have fun and she wants you to come with her. A sense of joy and fun can do more good than almost anything else in most situations. Wherever this queen goes, she spreads joy, and when you travel with her you can’t help but spread it, too.
Be a little daring. Do something. In Faerie, joy is a serious business. Faeries have perfected the art of joy and passing it onto humans whenever they can. Sometimes we don’t see it that way. Often faeries will do things that bring them much joy while we feel more annoyed than anything else at their antics (sock stealing, and car key hiding are good examples).
When this happens, when you can’t find your keys anywhere, stop for a moment and listen. You may just be able to hear the silvery laugh of the Queen of Laughter as she leaps between the worlds, dangling your leys on her fingertips. Say hello, give her a smile, and she might just do the same for you. Pass her joy on to a friend or lover and watch your relationship blossom.
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!
Aries:
The Queen of Owls
Physical Healing / Wholeness / Wellness
Quick message: This is the bright queen of physical healing. When the physical body is unbalanced or in pain, it can be difficult to find a connection to anything other than that pain or disease. Relationships can falter and fail when all of your attention pivots on dealing with pain. When your physical body becomes the only thing you can focus on, turn to this bright and gentle being. The pain is real, the disease is real, but the power to heal is real within you as well. Concentrate on the Queen of Owls and reconnect with the healing energies of Faerie.
Taurus:
The Faerie of Naughtiness
Lighten Up / Mischief / Misrule
Quick message: Sometimes you just have to be naughty. The Faerie of Naughtiness asks you to step outside of your boundaries for a moment and do something unexpected. She dares you to change the energy of a situation by doing the one thing that will tilt the universe just a tiny bit. Sometimes you can change that energy just by thinking. Naughty thoughts can lighten a situation without anyone else having to know about it. If you don’t acknowledge her, if you ignore her, you may become the target for her own naughtiness. She’s very good at stealing things, losing wallets, misplacing important letters and important thoughts, so when it looks like it’s going to be one of those days when little things go wrong and circumstances become predicaments, acknowledge the Faerie of Naughtiness, and get her on your side again. She just wants to play.
Gemini:
The Queen of the Golden Bough
Support / Soul Healing / Equilibrium
Quick message: This is the queen of all things spiritual, of healing, and of transformation. If you choose the Queen of the Golden Bough, you are calling on the help of one of the true healing spirits of Faerie. You are seeking healing on a very ancient and fundamental level. Your need to heal and change may be so deeply embedded in your psyche that you may not even know it is there. When you feel an overwhelming sadness that takes you by surprise, a sadness that seem to spring from the depths of your soul, meditating on this card can help you rebalance your emotions. It may also be a time to let go of emotions that are stopping you from healing. Take a long look at how these emotions made you feel in the past, how you are feeling at this moment, and then let the card do its transformational work to lead you into the future.
Cancer:
The Prince of Light
New Beginnings / Peacemaker / Potential
Quick message: The Prince of Light comes into your life like a blessing. He is the bringer of new beginnings, indicated by the egg he holds before him, which is the symbol of potential. He soothes, calms and leads you into the light. The peacemaker, he is always ready to still the troubled waters of a relationship. He is wise. If he appears in a reading listen to what he has to tell you. If you recognize a friend or partner as the Prince of Light, cherish that person and honour the goodness he can bring to a relationship.
Leo:
The Queen of Hearth and Home
Welcome / Courtesy / Graciousness
Quick message: The Queen of the Hearth and Home carries with her the ability to make a home in the moment, in the now, wherever she is. She passes this ability on to you. It is important to “be at home” in any situation, to create a “home” when you invite people in to your space, whether at a table in a restaurant, a desk at work, or in your own home. The ability to make someone feel welcome when entering your space is a gift indeed. When this card appears, remember that you are in the presence of a great queen. She gives you the ability to be gracious and create a home wherever you are, in any relationship.
Virgo:
The Blessing
Blessings of the Day / Journey / Beginnings
Quick message: This faerie holds out her hands to receive and bestow a blessing. Begin each day, each action, each journey with thanks and gratefulness and know that whomever you touch will be blessed as well. This is a benediction both given and received. If you can bless each day and whatever you intend to do this day, then you will receive a blessing in return.
Libra:
The Speaker of Truth
Trust / Acceptance / Open Heart
Quick message: In Faerie, many of the individuals we meet can be tricky. They will tell you a lie as blithely as tell you the truth; it’s in their nature. This beautiful man is the Speaker of Truth. He cannot lie. When the Speaker of Truth appears, ask him the question you most need a truthful answer to and be willing to accept that answer. It won’t always be easy, but when he turns up, it means that somewhere within you, you are seeking the truth. So open your heart to him as he opens his heart to you and truly hear what he speaks.
Scorpio:
The Lady of Leprechauns
Clear Sight / Foreknowledge / Faerie Gifts
Quick message: Leprechauns are tricky, their Lady is even more so. She holds gifts of Faerie in both hands, gifts of knowledge of the future and of clear sight. Many of us would give a great deal to know what the future holds, and yet such knowledge could be dangerous. The gift of clear sight may be a wiser choice, for those who do not see life clearly? What to choose? Remember her gifts are not what they appear to be. Knowledge of the future and clear sight proffered by someone as tricky as this lady may be no more than a glittering illusion. If you happen upon this lady, think carefully about what you wish for. You may be wiser to thank her and walk away empty-handed. The choice is yours.
Sagittarius:
The Pan
Joyous Flight / Courage / The Big Thing
Quick message: An awfully big adventure, that’s how the Pan sees life and death. He flies joyously on to whatever comes next, knowing that it’s all part of the journey. It takes courage to be adventurous. It takes courage to trust that you can deal with whatever comes next. When things seen daunting, when the future looks terribly uncertain, borrow bravery from the Pan.
Capricorn:
The Green man
Irresistible Life Force / Virility / Awe
Quick message: If the Lord of the Forest is the supreme overseer of Faerie and the forest, the Green man is the forest itself. He is the energy that flows through all vegetation from the mosses that cover the forest floor, to the most majestic of trees that make up the forest canopy. He is fecund, virile and dangerously alive, he can eventually reclaim any place on terra firma, where man has left his mark. He is the life blood that flows through everything. When the Green Man appears in a reading, the most important thing to do is acknowledge him in your everyday life. If you are in an office building, take a moment to go outside and find something green and just thank it. Thank the life force that impels it to grow. You can use that life force, that “greenness” to revitalize any relationship you are in. Think of the insistent burgeoning energy of a blade of grass and a giant oak tree and let it flow through you.
Aquarius:
The Green Woman
Subtlety / Beauty / Fruition
Quick message: Just as there is a balance of masculine and feminine energy in all of us, there is that balance of energy on all of nature. The Green Woman is the subtle “greening” of the world, the gentle flow of energy, creativity, inner strength, full of moisture and the nurturing qualities of plant life. When she appears before you in a reading, let her powerful, gentle energy surround and nurture you. A relationship calls for “greening” sometimes. Tread softly and gently to bring a relationship to fruition in its tentative stages. Be strong in your convictions, but gentle in the manner in which you present them, and you emulate the Green Woman.
Pisces:
The Challenge
Self Criticism / Obstruction / Go For It
Quick message: This faerie stands before you as you set off on your journey. She bars the way and demands an answer to her challenge. She asks you to be brave. She may try to dissuade you from your task by whispering undermining thoughts in your ear. She is testing you. Don’t give in. Stand up to her and she will gladly step aside and let you pass. If you are thinking about beginning a new relationship or venture, but the voice in your head keeps whispering that you’re just not good enough to even consider it, remember that this is a challenge. You are being tested, so go for it, and you’ll be surprised at how much you can achieve.
