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.
