Never seen a year like 2020 before.

And will never will see it again.

Every single one of us has been affected.

We’ve all struggled, said sudden goodbyes to many, faced loss, dealt with the waves of fear, paranoia, hope and courage. We’ve all adapted to the new normal and somewhere are bracing up for even more changes in our homes, our workplaces and in the world around us. Faced moments of utter darkness and also moments of absolute light as we basked in the warmth of our loved ones.

As part of the Pandemic Reading series (links to other forecasts and insights below) I turned to the deck of cards seeking clarity and a little more hope with a single question “What’s 2021 going to be like for all of us?”

A cycle of ignorance comes to an end, replaced by a new cycle of wisdom that comes from experience and knowledge. As we face our deepest fears we move forward with renewed courage and self belief. We have learnt about precautions and social distancing. We have understood more about how the virus behaves. With awareness has come a certain fortitude. With grief we have understood how frail we are as the human race and how limited and unsure our time is on this planet.

The waves of the pandemic are palpable across borders. On the news we can see more than the numbers. We see the tired eyes of the nurses and doctors, the grief of those who couldn’t perform the last rites of their loved ones. Or paced their homes in frustration and despair facing unemployment and business losses. And we also see glimmers of hope in those who are recovering or getting vaccinated.

And yet beyond this.

There is a new beginning. And it isn’t all that bad either. However a beginning can only happen when we want it from within.

And can only be achieved when we as a collective step out of our comfort zone and begin to face our fears, one step at a time.

And slowly reach a new cycle of change, growth and success based on new rules of the new normal.

The more we adapt to change, the better things will be.

The more we do for others, the more growth we will see.

The more we hold back from others, the more we will shrink.

The more we approach 2021 with a spirit of cooperation, compassion and a willingness to do something for this planet, not just for ourselves but for future generations, the faster the world will heal.

As more and more people get vaccinated in 2021 a renewed sense of freedom may prevail. Individuals from all age groups and backgrounds will make their mark in new, unchartered territories. Medical and technological advances will allow for greater interconnectivity, ease and success. Visionaries may implement new ideas. New centres of power will be established politically and economically.

Key Messages

1. If you quit now, you’ll be right where you started from. Just keep going. Just keep believing you can.
2. Open your heart. If you consciously deprive another of positive energy be it in the form of words of gratitude, praise or even a donation, you will feel the karmic effects of your actions. If we don’t learn to give, we don’t get to receive.
3. Be open to new possibilities and opportunities in emerging fields of healthcare, technology and education.
4. Keep open to synchroncities, messages, unexpected alliances and partnerships (both professional and personal) and don’t delay saying yes.
5. Love those who love you. Forgive those who don’t love you. Let karma deal with them.

One of the joys of reading the Tarot is how ancient wisdom can be applied to contemporary and future scenarios. Especially during the times of lockdowns and layoffs where many professionals are considering a switch in careers. Not an easy place for anyone, the anxiety is understandable but the cards do have a magical way of bringing clarity and insights.

As in the case of a young woman who contacted me for a Career Switch Reading.

Until the lockdown she thought she had found her calling in the Hotel Industry. Her days were busy with clients old and new, ensuring the hotel was perpetually booked with high profile events. And then suddenly it was over. Retrenchment. And the struggle and the stress followed. She had no choice but to switch careers if she wanted to work. She connected over the Tarot and we looked at all the options she was considering. Pros, cons and future possibilities were weighed. Her session ended with a clear direction she could pursue and did.

Her resilience and enterprise landed her a new job within 3 months managing customer relations for a large chain of hotels.

Similarly a young IT Manager got in touch. She had been on Maternity leave but was no longer keen to return to long hours and longer meetings. Work with more flexibility and passion. That’s what she communicated over a Tarot session. Her two loves were writing for kids and Teaching Dance. Could she do it? The Tarot foretold happiness in both and much needed flexibility. Perfect for a young mother. The only hitch? Writing would take at least a year before she could earn. While teaching dance revealed slow growth but better fitness levels and joy, not just for her but also her students.

We both smiled at the Tarot’s answer.

Both these professionals have displayed the very qualities required for survival and eventual success in today’s times. The courage to switch careers. Adaptibility to the new normal in their lives and in their professions. A willingness to research and explore their choices. To relearn and unlearn. And a view to recreating their future in a new field of their choice. Prerequisites for future success.

Detox frequently this December. Go off digital devices. Leave online groups that only seem to tear each other down. Block the toxic caller. Fast for a day. Eat clean. Truths will start popping out. Stuff you’ve been hiding, stuff others have hidden from you.

Times are a changing, and so are you.

Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

When you don’t have a plan everyday is an everyday. December forces you to get a little more organised, a little less cluttered in your cupboard and in your heart. Let go of the grudge, it will only make you sick. Professionally things can start moving but your plans have to be perfect. Any oversight now may cost you a lot later. New friendships provide a different kind of connectivity. Have you found your tribe? A loved one may be feeling a little neglected so how about reaching out?

Taurus (Apr 20- May 20)

You slowly stop caring about certain people now who never saw your worth. You move away from a stifling situation at the work place. Or literally pack and move out. This month is all about leaving things behind and exploring new territories. Work and money matters proceed smoothly because you’ve learnt to be patient. Watch your health for signs of accumulated stress and boost your intake of fresh fruits and vegetables. A young admirer could get closer, or a budding friendship may take a serious turn, one tip, if you’re not sure, take your time.

Gemini (May 21 – June 20)

You know that impulsive side of you? That leaps out and says or does something without thought. Please keep it in check as you may be tempted to lash out an annoying someone. Or press SEND before checking the facts. Financially new avenues begin to open up and be ready for some interactions with experts in different fields and domains. A great month for Geminis in IT, great things are about to happen and with your brilliance, you could get on a roll in the following months. Joy and solace comes from old childhood bonds, and if single, you may decide to stop looking actively and allow whoever is meant to be, to come looking for you.

Cancer (June 21 – July 22)

Loved ones are truly our treasures. And this month may see you reconnecting with an old flame, or a cherished family member or a soulmate. Your heart is open to giving and receiving and with it you may experience peace and calm. You could even recognise a hidden talent and allow it to lead you to new horizons. Your only limit is your imagination. If searching for a job or applying for higher studies, remember to follow your heart. Happiness is short lived, make sure you hold on to the moments.

Leo (July 23- Aug 22)

Team work is highlighted and so are public appearances, if not in person then certainly online. A busy month of Zoom calls and your collaborative spirit will be shared. You’re generous with praise and your coworkers will respond. Matters of the heart may be a little confusing. Is someone giving mixed signals? Or acting cool again? A heart to heart chat will clear the air and make way for a better bond. While you’re busy impressing others with your charm, do remember to give back a little to your favourite cause or charity.

Virgo (Aug 23- Sept 22)

Discipline is essential if you want to get things done this month. No slacking. Pending tasks and chores may pile up on your desk but you should be able to handle things promptly and efficiently. Just watch your tone with others especially if you’ve a tendency to be a little sharp. Others may not be so forgiving this time. Money that was stuck for a while shows promise of movement. And people you met ages ago, may remember you for an interesting proposal. Friends and family may act aloof, and if you’re missing them, then make amends. Your health may need attention but timely treatment will heal.

Libra (Sept 23- Oct 22)

A little voice inside you tells you that it’s slowly getting better. There’s hell but there’s also heaven, if we pause and look. Ideas may start pouring in about a new business partnership, a new line of designs, a new book, it’s bubbling inside you for a reason. Pay attention and start acting upon those hunches. Money that was owed to you will be returned, and negotiations will proceed smoothly. But aren’t you getting a little bored by your routine? Think about ways to change your life, even if it takes time. You after all, are can shape your own destiny.

Scorpio (Oct 23- Nov21)

To win we have to learn how to lose. To get we have to learn how to give. To fly we have to learn to fall down. Don’t allow the setbacks and the obstacles deter you. They’re only stepping stones. An old rival may make things unpleasant for you, but you won’t need to do anything in return. Karma will do it for you. Financially you may find yourself relooking your paperwork and thinking of long term returns. Family matters remain smooth as long as you learn to respect the other person’s space and time. Travel plans may get altered so remain flexible.

Saggitarius (Nov 22- Dec 21)

Your mind may be making things worse than they really are. Whatever you are worried about isn’t as bad as you fear. A nagging sense of anxiety needs to be released. Surround yourself with positive influences. Don’t expect your loved ones to read your mind or mood, and extra effort would need to be made to be patient with them. Singles may make a special connection with someone who may not have gotten over their past. How much of their baggage should you carry? A good month to detox your body or embark in a new lifestyle regime. Results could come sooner than you think.

Capricorn (Dec 22-Jan19)

Getting out of the comfort zone isnt easy. But once you do, you won’t regret it. A month to open your mind, take risks and do something so different that you’ll always remember it. A great month for self employed Pisceans or those who are working on an innovative idea or product. The future holds immense potential and what you do this month will determine your future success. In love matters, that special someone may not be as perfect as you imagine. Be a little realistic in your relationships, we’re all human after all.

Aquarius (Jan 20- Feb 18)

Financial security takes centre stage. Discussions about money, increments, investments and savings plans may dominate the days ahead. A growing sense of inner security assures you that the future will be bright. A good month for job seekers and students, your hard work and determination will pay off, just make sure you to take some time out to relax. Emotionally watch out for possessiveness. An innocent third person may feel like a threat to your relationship, one tip, get your facts correct before you react. A short holiday will be just what you need to recharge your batteries.

Pisces (Feb 19- Mar20)

The more you take charge of your life, the clearer things become. Quit expecting so much from others. Your mind is sharp and people will listen to what you’re saying. A good month for promotions, presentations and anything to do with public speaking, the cards foretell success especially for students. Emotionally you may feel a little detached from things that you used to hurt you, and the more you let go the more freedom you will discover. A recurring ailment may require medical attention and if you were planning to start a new diet or exercise regime, the cards urge you to go for it.
