It’s a wonderful day to say thank you – to your family, friends, and even your enemies. Nostalgia and happy memories might fill your head and it’s worth remembering all the love there is around you. Take pleasure in acknowledging it and grateful to extend it further.
Giving and receiving are two sides of the same joy. Take pleasure in both and don’t be shy to tell people how much they mean to you. You’ll probably be surprised by how much they love you back.
With close relationships, this is an especially important time to remember the history and strength of your time together. It’s these ties that have helped you through your most serious moments – both good and bad. Don’t take them lightly, close friends really are special, and not as common as you might think.
Yesterday, Germany’s highest court ruled in favour of a Tarot reader whose dissatisfied customer refused to pay his bill.
The customer, a man in his mid-40s, had already paid the reader 35,000 euros (about $45,000) for reading services and life-coaching. Somewhere along the line, he decided he didn’t trust her anymore and refused to pay the outstanding balance of 6,700 euros.
Lower courts threw out the case last year, claiming that since magic didn’t exist, the Tarot reader couldn’t have a contract with her client. On appeal however, the High Court disagreed.
Fortune-telling, provable or not, could be subject to a binding contract. The judges determined that two parties are free to enter an agreement about something that is ‘irrational’. What’s not allowed is exploitation and fraud.
If the customer knew from the start that there was no rational evidence that Tarot cards worked, he was obligated to pay his bill.
So the case is returning to the lower courts to decide whether or not there was a contract. The customer is expected to argue that there was not.
Upset that his girlfriend had just left him and feeling that there was no meaning in his life, he’s likely to argue that he was ‘gullible’, and that any contract he and the reader had was void.
The High Court warned though, that such an argument will be tough to make. As they correctly point out, most people who go to fortune-tellers are distressed about their life. How is he different?
According to the court, the contract would only be determined void if the customer was unusually inexperienced, psychologically weak or credulous.
From my personal perspective as a Tarot reader, I see this as a damp victory.
It’s great that the reader’s right to enter into a binding contract with her client was recognized. It’s not so great that Tarot reading was deemed ‘irrational’.

Given that the weather has been in the news so much lately, I thought it might be a perfect time to post Georgie’s Weather Forecast Spread.
Now don’t be fooled by the name. Though it’s named for me, it was actually created by Deb Scott, a listener of Beyond Worlds and Psychic Friends Live.
She heard me describe the energies of the Major Arcana as being like weather fronts moving into our lives. We can’t change them, but we can at least dress right for the conditions.
That got Deb thinking about some of the Majors Only decks she loves but rarely uses for lack of interesting spreads. So she came up with this one.
Deb recommends that when using this spread, it’s best to keep your question rather open. Just ask the cards for a weather update in a particular area of your life, or in general.
When you’re dealing with the Majors, it’s not always up to you.
So break out your favourite Majors Only deck, or pull the Majors out of a pack of 78, and try it now!
Georgie’s Weather Forecast Spread
1) What weather front has just moved out?
2) What are the existing conditions?
3) What front is moving in now?
4) What’s the next big one to expect?
Get down to work. Nothing exciting going on, except maybe the chance to get more done than you thought you would.
Follow the template and don’t worry about being particularly innovative today. It’s probably more important to just get it done.
To motivate yourself try remembering that what you’re working on now is setting you up for your future. Put in the effort and it’ll ultimately pay off.
Last August, Ocean Kinge got a strong feeling that she was going to win the lottery. And she did.
As Kinge described it to the BBC, “Out of the blue one day I just said: ‘Let’s start a lottery syndicate because I’ve just got a really strong feeling we are going to win a big win at the end of the year’.”
She felt she had to do it as part of a group, so she gathered up 14 others from West London Training where she works.
On Christmas Eve they won the EuroMillions Raffle. Each one of her group will receive £66,666.66 or about $100,000 USD. Not bad.
Kinge says she’s been psychic for years, but can’t pick lottery numbers. Maybe not, but it sounds like she knows when to buy a ticket.
Be yourself and be it fully. This is a day for you to shine. You know yourself and you’ve been true to your soul. It’s always worth it and now you’re remembering why.
As you harness your energy to create your will, do so with compassion. Remember what you suffered to get to your present state. Have compassion for those that are still struggling. They can use your inspiration, but remember your strength. Be careful not to burn them.
Take pride in your self and your work, but don’t get carried away. You’re most beautiful when you’re humble, while letting your fire soar.
This is a good day to give your spirit some serious attention. Take a little time by yourself to think about what it is that you believe. What do you think of the world and your place in it? What ultimately gives your life meaning?
It’s also a good time right now to pay attention to the messages other people have been sending you. Let yourself absorb the world around you without feeling the need to jump in right away and take action. This is a better time to sit and receive than to act.
Observe, listen and think about what it is you’re doing. Through reflection you’ll start to see all sides. Through this wider perspective you’ll find the priorities and direction that can help you on your path.
