Pxe Tarot Readings, Halstead (2026)

03/02/2026

3rd February
The Lovers
I don't know if I have ever pulled this card, if I have it happens very infrequently, so much so that I had to look it up to understand it's significance in today's pull. (Yes it's ok to do that).
I struggle with this card because it's meaning is seemingly very straightforward and uses obviously biblical imagery. As we live in a society where one thing sells above all others it is easy to dismiss this card as irrelevant to anything other than a love or relationship reading.
I would ask you to consider this card as being titled The Choice instead of the Lovers as that is the heart of its message.
On examination of this familiar image we can see a triangular gaze; the man looks towards the woman, who looks towards the angel Raphael, who looks down upon the scene. Each is asking a question; the man is asking about the woman's passion; his masculine energy focussed on action, the woman is asking for divine guidance attempting to choose between temptation and desire, and the Angel Raphael asks both of them to question their relationship with each other and the Divine. It is a kind of pinball of rebounding indecision.
As a Major the Lovers follows the Hierophant; the Fool is now aware that doctrines exist, his next step is to question himself; how far he is willing to engage with enshrined rules? will he follow or will he go his own way?
As a 6 this card asks will you get back up again to continue on this journey? Is the goal worth the travail? How will the next step be different?
Archangel Raphael speaks to the healing power of the Divine, and represents caregivers, couples, and those experiencing emotional burnout and major life challenges.
In essence, this very static image with its triangular dilemma asks us are we staying or going? Only we can decide; if we are to move forward will we take the longer higher road of our highest and best? Or take the quick exit and give in to our need for instant gratification? To what extent are we considering our relationship with the divine in this choice? Have we taken time to pause and consider the consequences?
There is no judgement in this card (that comes later), there are only questions.

The Empress

This card is generally agreed to be the epitome of nurturing female energy.

There is some debate as to whether she is pregnant or not in the image, as she reclines in her pomegranate gown, presiding over the fruitful and abundant scene.

But this card is called the Empress, not the Mother.

Neither is she a queen.

She is the female force in control of the fate of many, not just her own family, or her own subjects but people of many countries she will never likely know.

How to bear this responsibility without overwhelm?

If we consider the scene around her, we see that she is in cobtrol. She has had the recliner brought outside to ensure her comfort and stability and rest. The scene is well ordered, it is nature under control; there is no wildness: the conifers are well ordered, there planting arranged along the river for maximum nourishment. Likewise the wheat has been sown and is growing in its uniform fashion, its ripening timed to perfection to guarantee bounty when it is required.

This is the wildness of female energy tamed and under control, precisely engineered for maximum yield and benefit. She holds aloft her sceptre; she knows her power in responsibility and demands the respect she has earned.

Most of us do not control an empire, how can we embody the energy the card suggests?

Women, in particular, are diminished in the current world; we are conditioned to accept the standards of others in appearance, at work, as mothers, as daughters, friends and homemakers.

The Empress suggests here that we take back control, that our nurturing is of value when expressed as boundaries; we are allowed to set the rules of our own empire and that we expect them to be adhered to in return for ensuring peace and abundance for all.

Enforcing theses standards and boundaries ensures we always have the capacity to put on a nice dress and have a good sit down outside in the sunshine.

If you need guidance to build your empire,

28th January The Fool reversed

As soon as I pulled this card the song "no more the fool", by Elkie Brooks popped into my head.
Interpretations of the Fool suggest we act more playfully, that we let go and see what happens, adopt a more "devil may care" attitude.
Today's message is literally the reverse of that message.
The other day we spoke of the dangers of a lack mindset when attempting to manifest the things we want into our lives, the next lesson speaks to intention.
The Fool has no focus, indeed, despite the warnings of those who are loyal to him (the little white dog), he is in danger of falling off a cliff due to his distraction, fantasising over what could be.
The Fool is not prepared for the journey ahead; his bindle can not provide him with all he needs, he has underestimated the arduous nature of the long track ahead.
The Fool has no support, no one he can entrust to safeguard or welcome him when he needs help, or is struggling, every burden is his to carry, alone.
Most importantly, the Fool has no purpose; he seeks no particular destination; happy to meander along hoping for the best, inconsiderate of the worst of what may befall him.
All of the Fool's aspects are the literal reverse of what we must do in order to achieve our heart's desire.
Firstly we must be crystal clear on that desire; imagining it to the point where we could almost reach out and touch it; having considered all its facets. In place of fantasising, where anything goes, we must conjure up (probably with the help of the Magician; the next card) a blueprint, a detailed, delineated petition to the universe.
This blueprint must be part of a carefully constructed plan for what needs to come about, we must share these desires with those we trust and ask for their support in recieving them, knowing they have our best interests at their hearts, knowing we can count on that support when the road is rough and the track is long.
If we want it, we must reach out and take it, and let whichever higher power we serve take care of the how of achieving it, we must be grateful that we don't have to work out that part; doubt and fear only insult the power to provide it.

6 of pentacles reversed

I struggled to understand this card for a long time. It shows a wealthy man, with scales in one hand giving money to one of two beggars in supplication at his feet.

What could it mean?

Am I the wealthy man? Am I the beggar?

I don't particularly resonate with either, I'm neither lending or borrowing money to or from anyone.

The first mistake I made in this interpretation is to see the Pentacles as representing money; solely material goods.

We love in a capitalist world where everything is related to money so it is forgivable to only see the suit in this way.

I am now more comfortable seeing the Pentacles as representing the currency in my life. They make more sense when viewed this way; whatever you consider as your currency in exchange with the outside world to achieve what you want; this can be actual money, or spiritual practice, or kindness, creativity, drive, ambition, competition; whatever the fuel that gets you over the line.

The 6 represents the next stage on from the struggle; this is the point where you choose to learn the lesson or be doomed to repeat it.

Using this interpretation we can see the figures as representing either a growth or lack mindset, depending on who we identify with; the recipients in this card are beggars, the merchant must give knowing there will be no physical return on his investment. Equally the beggars must ask without shame of what they require; they have no other way to improve their circumstances; the energy of this transaction must be equal; or the scales will be put of balance.

The reversal suggests this; if we are aiming to manifest but we sustain a lack mindset, there is no room to receive our request; we must petition and then believe, there can be no doubt or fear, they will not serve us.

If we are aiming to give, but we sustain a lack mindset, we are not giving freely, we must give of what we have with joy for the recipient; there can be no doubt or fear, they will not serve us either.

We must let go of lack and recognise our abundance to become more abundant.

If you find yourself in lack, doubt, or fear,

The King of Pentacles Reversed

This seems a very fitting card as we approach the end of January; financially the longest month of the year.

The splurge of the holidays seems so far away now , as we eke out the pennies before payday, and try not to put the heating on, the weather laughs in our faces with it's endless rain and sludge.

As we pass beyond "new year" we are exhorted to be better, think of the future, save more, add to that pension.

This card asks us to reconsider.

Each of the Tarot suits represents an element; Pentacles are the element of Earth; practical, material, the symbol of all that sustains us, I would argue also that this includes the Spiritual within us, the knowledge of the right thing to do, the best way.

Kings are the masters, they are at the top of their tree, their word is law, they govern the outcomes, this king is the master of abundance, he is comfortable and secure.

The reversal suggests that we do not believe that we embody this king, that we will never get to that level of security, status, self belief evidenced in all that we possess.

Earth energy, as all energy, works best in flow, money is merely a symbol of exchange, the Earth's fruit spoils when left to rot on the vine; it can only give of its energy in flow.

We may be skint, we may not have all of our spiritual or material ducks in a row, but there is nothing written that says we can not aim for it, we can petition the universe with this king as symbolic of our goal and move forward with that intention, which the card tells us, will remove the blockage and the energy will flow; we can only receive when we believe.

If you need to find your flow,

The Wheel of Fortune reversed

There's a lot going on in this card.

In the Fool's Journey through the Major Arcana , this card comes as the Fool learns that his newly found skill of self will can not guarantee results in his favour every time. Depending on your personal creed, this can be because; every other thing in the universe has its own self will, all competing for fruition; or that self will is nothing without virtue and the Fool must be "good" to attract good fortune; or that the universe is a place of chaos, random chances and risk; or that there are mysteries afoot that we can only hope to unravel through personal interpretation.

Depending on your understanding of how and why things happen, this card may have many suggestions of the reasons behind how and why things change.

But change they do, we only have to look at the time the sun comes up and goes down, the weather, and the flora and fauna that surround us to know that everything is ever changing.

It is how we anticipate, experience and respond to those changes that govern whether or not we receive good or bad fortune.

Today my eye is caught by the figure of Anubis; Ancient Egyptian guardian of the threshold, in the upright reading of this card he is on the ascendance, with the snake in descent, intimating that fate is waiting for us all. In the reversal, he seems to say, as nothing is certain, it is ok to do the reverse of seeking control in the chaos, and take the risk of letting go, and seeing what happens, we cannot control the outcome of all things, only use our self will to control our response.

If you would like to take a risk,

The Fool reversed

The phrase "Acting the fool" means being silly, childish, an admonishment that one ought to be more mature, more sensible, more grown up.

This Fool is, like the Hobbit, going on an adventure, and like the Hobbit, is not very well prepared for what he may encounter; he relies on a child like trust (the Lily) that whatever he encounters is meant for him, and his belief in the value of the journey will carry him on to success.

The Fool can not know what awaits him on his journey; he goes anyway; unafraid. It is this childlike positive expectation that we are being called to honour with this card.

As adults, we do not have enough play in our lives, everything has become very serious and earnest; all our efforts concerned with the amassment and then control of things, that we are told will bring us contentment.

This is a static way of living, the reversal of this card is prompting us to take action; to move and see where it takes us and to adopt the child like expectation that things will be ok in the end.

As we move forward into the time of quickening we should not be afraid to risk looking a fool; nothing ventured; nothing gained.

Temperance Reversed

Temperance is a soothing card. It tries to give advice for the next step following the changes wrought by Death.

Temperance is divine advice to return to a literal flow state; in balance; one foot on the rock, the other in the water, the inner world (the triangle) in balance with the outer (the square), the effortless flow of one cup to the other, in balance and harmony on the next stage of the journey to the higher self (the dawn in the background.)

If we do not heed this advice, the next card is the Devil; promising excess, and illusion, our honesty and truth tethered to the monster of our apathy.

January is a lurching month; we seesaw from the excesses of celebration out onto the cold wet ground of financial realisation, seasonal illness and bad weather. Capitalism chides us for our winter ennui; pushing us to start again, bigger, better, with more stuff at great deals, we are clearly unfit for purpose.

So Temperance advises to come back to the source of the flow, change has come, but has also now passed under the bridge, return to the old faithful; flow on through.

Everything we need is on the other side of fear.

The reversal here makes it personal, only you can decide when to return to source; only your balance restores the flow; you have to find it, alone.

If you need a hand to hold while you find your flow,

Get in touch,

Much love

10 of Wands

In today's card the figure can not see the wood for the trees, or rather the home for the wands.

In the 9 the figure is battered and bruised, having been through many battles, but he stands beside his pallisade of hopes for when the war is won.

In the 10, the war is over, he has dismantled his fort and is attempting to carry his hopes home.

The road is flat, he can see home in the distance but his view is crowded, he is literally carrying too much to see clearly.

When we are in the waiting phase, we need hope to keep us going, and if we are thinkers, or overthinkers, we will examine every tiny shoot of every leaf on every wand while we are waiting.

We need to remember that not every shoot will make a branch; nature provides enough for everyone, some shoots will fall to the earth to nourish it, some will be eaten by creatures to nourish them. Only the amount that the tree needs will make it, because nature's goal is balance.

Not every hope or dream needs to go on the to do list, or life becomes the reason for the list.

Let's try and keep our eyes on the prize, the safe haven we are so close to reaching, and use our hopes and dreams to get us there, rather than getting in the way.

If you're struggling to see the wood for the trees, get in touch,

Much love

6 of swords reversed

I often refer to this card as the refugee card.

The people in the boat are attempting to move from turbulent to calmer waters, they have the boatman to help them, but they face a wall of swords, put there by themselves.

The sword challenges they face may have come about from outside agencies but it is the refugee's choice to take them and allow them to block the view of their destination.

In this 6, they could, should they choose, cast the swords into the lake, for these swords represent the trouble suffered by them in the 5 and will not serve them on the next passage of their journey.

They have moved on from the hardship but they are choosing to take the mental anguish with them.

Six long swords will be a burden to carry forward.

We spend our lives pursuing changes of our own design, only to fall apart when subjected to the changes designed by the universe.

Can our tiny plans and schemes really be better for us than those designed by the vastness of time and space?

Changes come because they have to, our comfort in stability is an obvious lie when we are living on an insignificant rock hurtling through a minor galaxy.

But it feels so real, so hard to let go, what if it was going to be good? If only this hadn't happened, it was all going so well.

This reversal is telling us that it was going to go this way, but the swords are blocking the view, you will have more to run from if you don't see clearly.

Cast the swords aside, the time for war is over, the mental battle can not assure the victory.

Focus on the destination, the new life waiting, the chance to make your future; universe willing, of course.

The World Reversed

This is the final card in the Major Arcana, the dancer holds the wand of the magician, symbolising the connection to the Divine and the tools sent to help us craft the journey, and the wand they have crafted through the journey; choices, emotion, intuition and spirit.

She steps through the victory wreath, wrapped with the lemniscate, as a portal; looking behind, but moving forward.

The 4 symbols in each corner, representing, the fixed zodiac symbols; guidance from the above, the four elements; guidance from below, and the four Christian gospels; guidance from your creed.

This card tells us to complete the cycle, learn the lessons with (naked) honesty, in the knowledge that the Divine (the purple) will protect us at our most vulnerable. It is done, move forward and begin again.

The reversal asks us to stop holding back, make your final move and take the risk; if the last cycle was good, understand your worth and trust there is better to come, if the last cycle was not, learn your lessons and trust that there is better to come.

There is better to come, take a breath, take a pause and then take the leap.

It is time.

Happy new calendar year,

Blessings for 2026,

Much love

6 of Cups reversed

Yesterday I decided that the house could really do with a good clean before Xmas day.

YESTERDAY

Today I have a last minute gym opportunity, and I'm hoping I'll have time to drop that stuff off to the charity shop and put the rest of those things in the loft.

I've done the TV plan, written out the meal plan for the week after Xmas, divided everyone's presents

up into their gift sacks, found the Xmas dinner plates and tablecloth and made sure there are enough crackers.

The 6 of cups takes us back to a simpler time; when brothers and sisters were nice to each other and exchanged meaningful gifts, when everything was cup (cakes) and roses.

Rather than getting trapped in the time machine of nostalgia, it asks us to literally walk away from adulting and try to remember what made gathering together in winter so special to our inner child.

The reversal is asking me to put down the project planner and smell those roses, and remember.

I'm off to see some lights and watch Die Hard with my tribe.

Wishing you a blessed break

Much love
