In Tarot, the four Queens are often seen as mature, self-aware expressions of their suits. But what if they were friends?
The Queen of Wands would be the charismatic one. Confident, creative and quite magnetic, she’s the friend who says, “Why not?” and books the table, starts the business or hosts the gathering. She radiates warmth and courage, encouraging the others to step into their boldest selves.
The Queen of Cups is the emotional anchor. Intuitive and compassionate, she senses when something is unsaid. She brings the tea and cake, asks the deeper questions and holds space without judgement. If the group chat goes quiet, she’s the one who checks in privately.
The Queen of Swords is perceptive and articulate. She values honesty over comfort and isn’t afraid of a difficult conversation. If someone is being treated unfairly, she’ll name it. Her clarity protects the group from drama and misunderstanding.
And then there’s the Queen of Pentacles – practical, nurturing and grounded. She remembers birthdays, feeds everyone, and quietly makes sure the bills are paid. She turns ideas into plans and plans into something sustainable.
As friends, they balance one another. The Queen of Wands sparks inspiration; the Queen of Pentacles makes it workable. The Queen of Cups softens the sharp edges of the Queen of Swords, while the Queen of Swords helps the Queen of Cups maintain healthy boundaries.
Together, they are fire, water, air and earth in harmony. Their friendship isn’t about being the same, it’s about bringing different strengths to the table. In a reading, the appearance of multiple Queens can suggest collaboration, supportive networks, or the need to integrate these aspects within yourself.

Before Halloween became about costumes, candy and plastic pumpkins, it was a night filled with mystery, bonfires and whispered beliefs about spirits walking among us.
The festival began over 2,000 years ago as Samhain (pronounced Sow-in), a Celtic celebration marking the end of harvest and the start of winter — “the darker half of the year.” People believed the boundary between the living and spirit worlds grew thin, allowing ancestors (and the odd mischievous ghost) to visit.
To protect themselves, villagers lit huge fires, wore disguises, and placed offerings outside their homes. Carved turnips (yes, turnips, not pumpkins!) were used as lanterns to scare away wandering souls — a tradition that later crossed the Atlantic and turned into the glowing jack-o’-lanterns we know today.
It was also a time for divination. Young people would peel apples to reveal the initials of future lovers, toss nuts into fires to test relationships, or use mirrors to glimpse what lay ahead. In short, Halloween has always been about seeking insight when the world turns darker and quieter.
So as October draws to a close and the nights stretch longer, it’s no wonder tarot readings feel especially powerful. After all, this is the season when intuition awakens, the veil thins, and the universe seems just a little more talkative.

Comments Off on The Curious History of Halloween (and Why It’s the Perfect Time for a Tarot Reading)
One of the most common questions tarot readers get is: “How often should I get a reading?” The answer isn’t one-size-fits-all — it very much depends on your intention, situation, and how you use tarot as a tool.
I have gently refused to give readings to people who want follow-ups too quickly. Of course there’s a worry that they’ll go elsewhere and I’ll lose them as clients, but I’m pleased to say that this hasn’t happened. (Not that I’m aware of, anyway.) People do respect if I don’t feel it’s ethically or spiritually right to give another reading too soon after their first.
If you’re consulting tarot for insight on a specific issue, it’s best to wait at least a few weeks before asking the same question again. This gives you time to reflect, take action and allow energy to shift. Asking too frequently, especially with the same question, can lead to confusion and conflicting messages.
For general guidance or spiritual check-ins, a monthly reading can be a healthy rhythm. This allows you to stay in tune with your path without becoming overly reliant on the cards. Some people benefit from quarterly or seasonal readings, especially around big transitions like a new year, birthday or career change.
However, there’s no “wrong” frequency. The key is to avoid dependency. Tarot should empower you, not make you feel stuck or anxious. If you find yourself needing reassurance from the cards constantly, it might be a sign to pause and ground yourself before coming back for another reading.
Ultimately, it’s important that you trust your intuition. When something feels unresolved or unclear despite your best efforts, that might be the right time to check in with the cards again.
Tarot works best when approached with patience, intention and respect for the process.

Comments Off on How Long Should You Wait Between Tarot Readings?
I’m being asked more and more frequently to support businesses’ growth and planning by asking the tarot for guidance. Many people look astounded when I mention this – especially if it’s at a networking event.
Tarot cards aren’t just for personal insight — they can definitely also offer valuable guidance for your business. Whether you’re a startup founder facing uncertainty or a seasoned entrepreneur navigating growth, tarot readings can provide fresh perspectives that help you move forward with confidence.
Each card in a tarot deck holds symbolic meaning that can reflect challenges, opportunities, or unseen influences. A well-structured tarot reading can help clarify decision-making, identify hidden obstacles, or spark new ideas.
For example, the Three of Pentacles might highlight the importance of collaboration, while The Fool could suggest it’s time to take a calculated risk.
Many business owners turn to tarot during strategic planning, brand development or even team restructuring. It’s not about predicting the future with certainty, but rather about uncovering themes, intentions and mindsets that may be shaping outcomes.
Tarot brings intuition into the often analytical world of business. By blending strategic thinking with intuitive insight, you can make more balanced, aligned decisions. A reading doesn’t replace research or logic, but it can enhance them, offering clarity where things feel stuck or unclear.
In short, tarot is a creative, empowering tool that can support business vision, alignment, and growth.
