November 2025 Tarot

The Moon/Illusion

"Even if you are a minority of one, the truth is the truth."- Mahatma Gandhi

When The Moon card appears in this past position it's a sign that we may have been living in an atmosphere where unreality or illusion have held sway. Perhaps many of us have sensed things weren't quite what they seemed and not everything was out in the open. This card reminds us to always read between the lines and it applies literally to what we actually still read in the press and media. So, keep looking below and beyond what's presented to you and be aware that emotions can so often be manipulated- sometimes in ways that are very obvious, but so often in a far more subtle manner.

As well as trying to make us aware of hidden forces at work in wider society, The Moon card can also represent underhand behaviour that has occurred in our personal lives. So, as we go into a new month it's perhaps the time to employ a little more secrecy or covert behaviour of our own! Consider how best to present our responses or opinions as non- committal, rather than getting drawn into situations that may be intended to entrap or confuse. The best strategy is to quietly but determinedly resist those who seem as if they wish to examine or influence what we know and believe.

The Wheel Of Fortune

"If you do not change direction, you may end up where you are heading"- Lao Tzu

The appearance of the Wheel of Fortune card often comes at a critical turning point and means  that we may be given chances to make profound changes. So many of us are enduring the most difficult of times, but this card is a reminder that the wheel is always turning and life is in a state of constant change. We just can't always exist on what feels like the precipice of chaos. Life will inevitably return to a more stable state. So, stay optimistic and cherish your good times, treasure the people you love, have faith. The world will turn yet again toward better times and this card is a timely reminder  of that.

The Wheel of Fortune card reminds us that life moves in circles, not straight lines. Events do shift rapidly and things can depart just as quickly as they arrive. It may be that we'll all feel the turn of that Wheel at some point this month and while it's cycle might bring us challenges or lessons, we do all need to remember that even if things don't seem right for us in that exact moment, then sit tight, hang on and embrace change. Things will inevitably recalibrate or turn out to be better for us than we could even have imagined them to be.

Judgement/Karma

"This above all; to thine own self be true" William Shakespeare

This Karma/Judgement card will most often appear when The Tarot - and the universe- wants to send us a message about issues that are greater than the small machinations of our daily lives. This is one of those times and it's a call from a higher power. The card asks us to wake up and it exhorts us to stop believing that we have no control at all over our own shadow selves or of the negative behaviour of others. This is a card which powerfully reminds us to see ourselves and to realise our real power over our own actions. If we believe in our innate ability to make changes  - both to ourselves and to our world- then we can do so.

When the Judgment card shares it's energy illusions are dispelled and unflinching clarity rules the day. This is the card of the truth teller, of blistering honesty. We're continuing the movement that began in September, carried on through October and now November will yet again bring us more examinations and judgement. So, out in the world we can expect yet another wave of revelations about people or organisations that have acted in bad faith. It's not quite the end point of secrecy and manipulation in our world - not yet. However, this month we can see the beginning of an era in which so many people are waking up -and getting ready embrace truth.

The Six Of Swords

"Forewarned, forearmed; to be prepared is half the victory" - Miguel De Cervantes

As November arrives, we may find ourselves in a state of transition. We live in sombre times, but this card lets us know that a process of healing is now underway. We may see there's an 'escape route' that's opening up for us and this card shows us there are better paths for us and we have the ability to steer ourselves over and away from difficulties. The figure shown in this card uses both knowledge and willpower to guide themselves over troubled waters to safer shores and we too- both as individuals and a whole society- can be clever and determined enough to navigate through and past challenging situations. 

We're moving into a period where it will be possible for us to leave behind negative patterns of behaviour and societal structures. As the month closes, we're headed on our collective journey towards much better times -but to ensure that we can get to them, we need to be determined and we need to be willing to evolve. Rather than dwelling on what isn't working or is downright dysfunctional, this time to come is an opportunity to move away from how we used to be and to begin the journey towards who we want to be or who we can be. Rather than dwelling on failure, we should now look forward to victory...
