PREDICTION SUMMARY

Following the recent crash, the market will be building up again after the New Moon eclipse on 15 FEBRUARY and peak in JUNE which will provide an an overflow of abundance. In both February and May there will be a lot of uncertainty and risk of illusion. Play it safe at these times until the New Moon energies have cleared (16 February and 15 May respectively). The market will start growing again in March and building momentum in April until it peaks in June - with May being a cautionary period.

CURRENT SITUATION

5 CUPS

A horse hangs her head dejectedly. Her posture is slumped, even her mane looks raggedy and depleted. Darkness seems to be cloaking her, and she is gazing down into the bleak abyss. The coloring is entirely black and white, accentuating the dreary atmosphere. All is not gloomy here, though. Above the horse things are getting lighter and five cups are suspended in the glow. She does not look to them, though. For now, she is mired in gloomy emotions. The fives in each of the suits show challenges. In the suit of cups, the five shows difficult emotions. Feelings of sorrow, loneliness, despair and mourning dwell in this card. CLARIFIER: 10 SWORDS

The damage has been done but the worst is over, you’ve got nowhere to go but up.

Since swords are the suit of the mental realm, this card also hints at the way you can overthink things. We all have a tendency to sometimes make things more complicated than they need to be. When your thoughts become burdensome, you become like the bull – pinned down by your own mind.

MESSAGE

This is reflecting the recent crash and the market hitting rock bottom, as well as personal feelings of disappointment and regret at any potential losses. We are seeing the completion of a cycle. Death and Rebirth. The end of an old cycle, but also judgement followed by a new beginning. February energies still show a lot of uncertainty and risk of illusion. The judgement card refers to breaking through this illusion and seeking the truth. Stay strong, be patient and play it safe. Focus on your heart and intuition. Master your thoughts and emotions until after the Black Moon (New Moon February 16) chaos has cleared , when you will be ready to rise above pettiness and fear. A Black Moon refers to a month in which there is no Full Moon - a period of darkness where clarity is obscured. Remove yourself emotionally so you can truly see the situation from all angles. Have faith, the energy can only pick up from here. Look to the horizon in March when the market will be reborn and begin to expand its wings.

HOW TO MOVE FORWARD

4 WANDS

The Four of Wands now blends a recognition of how far we’ve come with a renewed conviction in where we want to go from here. The first two wands cross to form an X, the lower two wands forming the same shape below. The two X’s meet in the middle, forming a small diamond. The crossing wands give the sense of energies meeting, stabilizing and then transforming. Beyond the wands is a larger diamond, mirroring the shape of the small diamond. The small diamond has a blue center, a color associated with intuitive receptivity. The large diamond is filled with emanating yellow and orange rays, colors that represent planning and action. The entire image suggests the combination of intuition and intelligence.

Beyond the large diamond, black and white lines border the four corners. This shows a portal which was once mysterious and closed has begun to open and take shape. We’re now in the midst of actively exploring new dimensions. The four wands almost look to be dancing, the X’s bringing to mind a human figure, arms and legs stretched out with happiness. Just looking out this card makes me want to throw out my own arms and say “yessss! Whooo!” The Four of Wands reminds you to celebrate how far you’ve come without denying how far you have to go.

Amidst the bustling, excited energy, there is that calm, blue center. It is the tranquil core that gives the deeper meaning to achievements. The center is the place within us that knows the actions we’ve taken are part of a sacred journey. We are on our own wild path, and we find joy in the landmarks we encounter along the way.

The Four of Wands shows celebration of what has transpired tinged with an anticipation of the future. We’ve started to move closer to that condensed rainbow energy we saw in the Three of Wands. We’ve passed the threshold – we are on our way! High five yourself for what you’ve already done and then keep on keepin’ on.

CLARIFIER: 3 WANDS

Three wands are bound together, forming an inverted triangle. As we gaze into the center, we see a rainbow swirl. Is this a vortex? Another dimension? The future? Or something else entirely? That is for us to explore and discover. Branches jut out from the wands, they stand in contrast to the perfectly pruned wands we saw in the previous card. These wands have more of a rugged, adventurous, free-spirited energy.

The background is filled with horizontal black lines. This lack of flashiness draws our full attention to the wands, and above all else, to the colorful vision they present. The swirling rainbow beckons us to leave behind the drab, colorless surroundings and explore all the magic life has to offer! We all have the potential to be visionaries. We can look beyond obstacles. We can look beyond the mundane world. We can see options, possibilities, endless terrain to explore and experience. Once we embrace our visions, we can begin to bring them into our reality. Your future is a blank canvas – and all the colors of the rainbow are available for you to shape, mold and create your experience.

MESSAGE:

Growth will start to pick up again in March. The uncertainty, stagnation and illusion surrounding February's Black Moon will start to clear following the Full Moon on 2 March - a time to move on and let go of past losses, there is no hope in rekindling what has been lost. From the Crescent Moon (this appears on both 9 and 24 March), the energies will begin to pick up again - this is the time to start anew. The energies will build momentum leading up to the Blue Moon on 31 March (a Blue Moon refers to a second Full Moon in one calendar month). Lift your eyes and move forward with confidence and mental clarity - make an informed, balanced decision and don't allow yourself to be influenced by fear or greed - hold steady. Perfection is an illusion, so go within, trust your intuition. April shows new beginnings with the promise of abundance. It's the seed that takes root, grounding you for the future. The market will demonstrate the beginning phases of a prosperous venture. Stay grounded. Meditation brings wisdom. Tune in and heed also signs from nature which can also offer messages and guidance. You may find a windfall of wealth headed your way - the connection will be pure, honest and solid. Open your heart and get ready.

FUTURE OUTCOME

6 THE LOVERS A pair of geese are flying in unison. There is harmony in their parallel wingspans, their parallel necks, and the parallel black and white of their markings. Although they maintain their own separate identities, they also fit together naturally as a pair. This card gives a sense that everything is exactly how it should be.

The geese are effortless in their soaring – they aren’t flapping their wings frantically, they’re simply letting the wind carry them. This is a card of flow, ease, grace. The Lovers are not trying to impress each other, neither of them tries to be anything other than what they are. They value each other as individuals, and they value their unique perspectives even as they cherish the connection they share. In many depictions of the Lovers, the two face each other. However, in the Wild Unknown, the geese both face forward. There is powerful symbolism here. They are on a journey together, no doubt. But at the same time, each also travels their individual path.

CLARIFIER: 15 THE DEVIL

A smug goat looks out at us from the card. He’s got a sly smile going on and we can only see one eye, giving him a shady air. His ears are cocked to the side, alert and ready to take advantage of what he hears.

Upon his forehead is an upside-down pentagram, a symbol our culture has come to associate with negative forces. Elphias Levi described it as: “a symbol of evil and attracts sinister forces because it overturns the proper order of things and demonstrates the triumph of matter over spirit. It is the goat of lust attacking the heavens with its horns.”

Indeed, the Devil card shows the human tendency to value the physical world over the spiritual world. This can manifest in more insidious ways; such as becoming stuck in destructive behaviors, bowing to your inner demons, or any other way that you might cause damage to yourself or others.

The card’s background is dark and bleak. There is no sign of light, the Devil dwells in the realm of shadow. Exploring your shadows and confronting your inner demons is crucial, because it’s when they are left to roam freely in the dark that they cause real issues. By bringing these parts of yourself to the light, you can learn to accept, heal and integrate them. We’ve come to associate the force we call “the devil” with addiction, enslavement, and negative patterns. Once you become aware this energy is at work, you can begin to free ourselves.

MESSAGE:

The month of May (leading up to a June windfall) shows signs of uncertainty and doubt where you will fear being left out in the cold. You may feel overwhelmed with caution and will face a difficult decision. There will be a lot of fear mongering and it will appear as though there is a potential for the market to crash. There is a strong caution related to illusions at this time, all is not as it appears - beware of fear and greed. Between the New Moon on 15 May and the Full Moon on 29 May will be significant. Be still and trust your instincts about the right time to sell, take care to make an informed decision but once you are clear take action. You will not find any strength or support from others, believe in yourself. This is a time to be truly courageous and stand up for your beliefs with determination.

June will be the month where the market overflows with abundance or shows a new beginning, building a strong foundation, full recovery from difficult times. This is the time to reap the rewards of what you have sown. The market will be in balance and harmony and money will flow with ease.

OVERALL ENERGY/ CLARIFIER

SON of SWORDS

The Son of Swords gazes straight ahead. He’s got a narrow focus, and nothing is going to take him off the course he has chosen. The background is filled with slanted lines, meeting in the center. This adds to the overall air of determination.

The owl holds a sword in his talons, ready to pierce his chosen target. He is full of opinions, but he may have a hard time differentiating opinions and facts. He can be a fierce debator, and a brutal critic. Some of his criticisms can be helpful, but he doesn’t always know where to draw the line between helping and hurting. He holds his convictions firmly and can have a difficult time accepting information that doesn’t align with the information he clings to.

On one end of the spectrum, the Son of Swords has the bound and determined, single-minded focus it often takes to accomplish difficult tasks. He knows how to lock onto a target and pour all of his efforts and abilities into his objectives. He’s smart as a whip and isn’t afraid to stand up for himself.

On the other end of the spectrum, the Son of Swords can be prone to wearing blinders. He can be stubborn and unwilling to see any other option aside from the one he’s already decided upon. He can be condescending in his interactions with others and patience isn’t always his strong suit MESSAGE:

This appears to be pointing to the market holding steady and heading in one direction - growth. I'm feeling the message is indicating that the wobble generated around the uncertainty in May (according to the above predictions) will be based on false news. Decisions based on fear or greed will lead to losses at this time, however if you make an informed decision and trust your instincts to cut to the truth there is a potential for big gains in June. Stay determined but be cautious of being overly stubborn or unwilling to change course when needed.
