March 8th is a special day in the calendar as it’s when women are ‘offically recognised’ for something specific even though we are awesome and amazing in everything we do, every day – right?!! This year, its theme is “Inspire Inclusion” and you can learn more about what that means here.
So which tarot cards best represent the brilliance of women and all that we stand for?
Well, there are many cards that could be suitable for International Women’s Day, as tarot is a deeply symbolic and intuitive practice that can be interpreted in many ways. Here are just a few possibilities:

Although a higher percentage of people that come to me for a reading ask about romantic relationships, I’m sometimes asked about friendships. So what can the Tarot tell us about these equally important relationships?
Balance in friendships can be influenced by various tarot cards, and the relevance of specific cards can depend on the context of your situation. Here are a few tarot cards that are often associated with balance in friendships and can provide guidance:
Justice: This card represents fairness, truth, and balance. It suggests that fairness and equity are essential in your friendships. Ensure that you and your friends are treating each other justly and honestly.
Two of Pentacles: The Two of Pentacles represents balance, adaptability, and juggling multiple priorities. It can indicate the need to manage your time and energy effectively to maintain harmony in your friendships.
Six of Cups: This card is about nostalgia, harmony, and reconnecting with the past. It can suggest that revisiting shared memories and a sense of mutual understanding from the past can help restore balance in your friendships.
Temperance: This card embodies balance, patience, and harmony. It encourages you to find the middle ground and avoid extremes in your friendships. It also signifies the need for patience and moderation.
The Empress: This card represents nurturing, abundance, and harmony. It suggests that a caring and nurturing approach to your friendships can help maintain balance and harmony.
Ten of Cups: This card symbolizes emotional fulfillment and harmony in relationships. It signifies that achieving emotional satisfaction and contentment with your friends is key to maintaining balance.
When seeking balance in your friendships, it’s essential to remember that tarot cards offer guidance and insight, but they should be used as a tool for reflection rather than definitive answers. Trust your intuition and consider how these cards resonate with your specific situation to make the most of the guidance they provide.

The Tarot can certainly give guidance to help you. But what are the mistakes you’re making, then making again and again?
Whilst it would be great to be able to answer this on a personal level, it’s impossible to do so in a blog and without knowing the context, However, I can certainly provide you with a fictional scenario using Tarot card archetypes to address the question of how to stop repetitive relationship mistakes.
Let’s imagine a scenario where someone is struggling with repeated relationship mistakes and seeks guidance from the Tarot. We’ll do a seven card spread:
Situation: The Seeker keeps repeating relationship mistakes
The Seeker approaches the Tarot reader seeking guidance on how to break free from repeating the same relationship mistakes. They’ve noticed a pattern of rushing into relationships without considering their own needs and boundaries, leading to disappointment and heartache.
Card 1: The Fool (Reversed) – Representing Past Mistakes
The Fool in reverse suggests that the Seeker has been acting impulsively, jumping into relationships without a clear sense of direction. They’ve been repeating the same naive mistakes, not learning from their past experiences.
Card 2: The Hanged Man – Reflecting on the Situation
The Hanged Man indicates the need for a new perspective. The Seeker must take a step back and suspend their usual approach. It’s time to reflect on their patterns and consider how they’ve been contributing to their own cycle of disappointments.
Card 3: The Chariot – Taking Control
The Chariot represents the Seeker’s ability to take control of their impulses. They must harness their energy and determination to move forward intentionally. This card suggests setting clear intentions before rushing into a new relationship.
Card 4: The Lovers – Exploring Self-Love
The Lovers card encourages the Seeker to cultivate self-love and self-awareness. Before seeking love from others, they need to understand their own desires, values, and boundaries. This self-love will guide them toward healthier relationships.
Card 5: Temperance – Finding Balance
Temperance advises the Seeker to find balance in their approach to relationships. They should blend their desires with patience and careful consideration. Taking things slowly and allowing connections to develop naturally will lead to more meaningful partnerships.
Card 6: Judgment – Learning from Mistakes
The Judgment card signifies a wake-up call and a chance for the Seeker to learn from their past mistakes. They must confront their patterns and acknowledge the role they’ve played in creating their relationship experiences. This introspection will lead to personal growth.
Card 7: The Empress – Nurturing Relationships
The Empress symbolises nurturing and abundance. The Seeker must focus on creating relationships that are built on mutual care and respect. By tending to these connections and allowing them to flourish, they can break free from their old patterns.
Remember…
In this fictional scenario, the Tarot cards serve as symbolic guides, offering insight and advice on how to stop making the same mistakes in relationships. Remember that Tarot interpretations vary widely, and the guidance provided here is just one possible interpretation.

Tarot cards are commonly used as a tool for divination and self-reflection. While they cannot provide definitive solutions or medical advice for anxiety, they can potentially offer insights, guidance, and a fresh perspective on your situation. Here are a few ways in which the tarot might help with anxiety:
Self-reflection: Tarot cards can act as a mirror, reflecting your thoughts, feelings, and subconscious patterns. By engaging with the cards, you may gain a deeper understanding of your anxiety triggers, underlying emotions, and potential areas for personal growth.
Increased self-awareness: Tarot readings can encourage self-awareness by prompting you to contemplate your current state, identify your fears, and explore potential paths forward. This process can help you develop a clearer understanding of your anxiety and its root causes.
Empowerment: Tarot can provide a sense of empowerment and agency by offering different perspectives and potential outcomes. It reminds you that you have choices and can take proactive steps to manage your anxiety. The cards can highlight your strengths, resources, and opportunities for personal development.
Emotional validation: Anxiety can be isolating, and it’s common to feel misunderstood or invalidated. Tarot cards can provide a form of emotional validation by acknowledging and addressing your concerns. They offer a non-judgmental space to explore and express your emotions.
Mindfulness and relaxation: Engaging with tarot can be a mindful and calming practice. The act of shuffling the cards, focusing on a specific question or situation, and interpreting the imagery can help you enter a more relaxed state. This can be beneficial for managing anxiety symptoms.
It’s important to note that tarot readings should not replace professional help for anxiety. If you’re experiencing severe anxiety or mental health issues, it’s advisable to consult with a qualified therapist or healthcare provider. Tarot can be a supportive tool to complement professional guidance, but it’s not a substitute for appropriate medical or therapeutic intervention.
Remember that it’s also important to approach tarot readings with an open mind and consider them as a form of self-reflection and inspiration rather than definitive predictions of the future. Nothing is ever set in stone, and everyone is empowered to change their path if they don’t like the one they’re on.
