New moons are a time when the sky literally goes dark and the moon becomes invisible for a night or two. Taurus is a sign which relates to our values, sense of security and experience of being grounded in our bodies. In combination, the two create an optimal time to decide what’s worth our energy and investment during the next cycle.

There are lots of ideas out there about how often you should get a professional reading. The usual ethical response (and also my opinion) is around once every couple of months. But why?

Whatever you believe about the specific benefits of Tarot, how it works or why, you can benefit from taking a look at the card/s of the year.

Do you trust your inner sat nav?

Each year we live through has a corresponding tarot archetype associated with it, and the collective card for this year is the Hermit - number 9 in the Major Arcana.
