Welcome to this month’s general card reading. I hope that it will resonate with those of you who read it and you will find it helpful.

Cards duplicated in the last 6 months:

December and May – Page of Swords

 

This month we have a completely new energy with only one card replicated which warns us about getting involved in gossip, but also having the energy of new ideas and exploring those.

 

As we start off this month someone new could come into our lives.  This could be a potential romantic relationship or a new business partner.  Whichever this is, they won’t be someone we have known before – they will either be a complete stranger or an acquaintance.

The first part of May we will be in inquisitive mode with lots of new ideas and a new independent way of thinking.  However, the flip side to this is not to run away with ourselves and tell all our plans to all and sundry.  Let the ideas settle first before we tell people about them – just share with the people closest to us who need to know.  These new ideas could have been sparked by the new person entering our orbit.  Also, we would be best advised to keep away from gossipy people if we can, and definitely not contribute to the gossip as it could come back to bite us.  Generally though, we will be either motivated towards a new love relationship or genuine compassion for others – so our new ideas could come from a humanitarian viewpoint.

In the middle part of the month people are going to be congratulating us on our achievements – whether it’s the work that we have just started, or something that we have been working on for a while.  Whatever it is, success is in the wind.  Where we can let ourselves down here is by adopting an attitude of worry and filling our heads with ‘What Ifs’.  My advice whenever this card comes up is to write down everything that’s worrying us – big and small.  Then go through that list.  If there is something we can do about it, do it and then we don’t have to worry.  If there’s nothing we can do, what’s the point of worrying – we will only draw the negative outcome towards us, and, after all, it’s only our imagination working overtime and we, ultimately, don’t know the outcome for certain.  Why ruin today in anticipation of something potentially bad happening tomorrow?  It makes no logical sense.

Towards the end of May life could send us a few unlooked for surprises.  Opportunities could turn up in one form or another.  What is important is that we don’t dismiss any of these opportunities out of hand, just because they present themselves in a way that we wouldn’t normally be drawn to.  There could be gold hidden under a rough or unexpected exterior.  This will lead to a new project which will involve nurturing ourselves and the people around us.  For some, it could come in the form of a pregnancy – for others, a new venture which is the equivalent to a baby and needs to be nurtured in a similar way.

As we come to the end of the month we will need to be disciplined and focused.  Now isn’t the time to get irritated if things aren’t working according to our own timetable.  Look at things through the lens of Divine Timing and know that everything will happen when the time is right.  Getting snappy with the people around us isn’t going to achieve anything positive to speed up events, and in actual fact, could cause delays.  We will also be wasting precious energy.

Our luck throughout the month is to be diplomatic and tactful.  Be thoughtful of others’ feelings and don’t try to push the river and adopt bully boy tactics to get our own way.  The use of honey rather than vinegar will go a long way in smoothing the path to our ultimate goals.

I wish you a magnificent May where anyone who is prone to worry can find what it takes to trust the Universe and know that it has their back.  We are never alone.  This can be a month of great achievement if we can focus on what we want to achieve, and not get drawn into what other people are doing, as that just takes us off our own path and delays our own progress.
