February 2025 Tarot

The Eight Of Rods

"There is nothing permanent except change” ~ Heraclitus

Lately, the world seems to have been immersed in a prolonged period of rapidly shifting events- life has come at us fast. Everything is moving quickly, and each day seems to have thrown ever more dramatic events at us or made us continually fearful of even more changes to come. The Eight of Wands card here acknowledges these fast-moving energies but instead of warning us, we're encouraged to actually embrace change and go with the flow. Don’t resist. Trying to slow things down or hide away because you’re not ready or are fearful about the unknown will just waste your precious energy.

Resisting change, trying to stop the flow of energy and movement will only make things harder. So let go~and flow! This card is here to remind you that your soul is not meant to be fearful and passive on this Earth but to be joyful and proactive. We can't change the past, we can't always control the present, but we can control our reactions to them. It's vital that in a such a sea of overwhelming events and news that we don't get swept away ~but learn to grasp opportunities and immerse ourselves in experiences when they fly toward us

The Ace Of Wands

"An ounce of action is worth a ton of theory" - Ralph Waldo Emerson

We've now entered a time when many in the world are fired up and ready to do rather then talk - action takes precedence over words! Those who have refused to keep quiet or to be cowed down will now see results.This is a time when people are simply refusing to be censored or intimidated. In public life, a great many issues and matters that have been hidden, obscured or deliberately obstructed are now out in the open. This February brings us many revelations and a great sense of renewal. 

When I look further into where this energy may emerge most strongly in 2025 I'm led to the area of the Middle East and I feel a strong feminine presence or driving force behind this. The events that occur in one particular country in that location this year may spread through that region in the following few months and the next couple of years. I also see popular movements becoming more formalised and challenging the more official structures in Western Europe, There may be new political movements forming and gaining wider support in European countries, for example in the UK, France and Germany.

The Three Of Pentacles

"Plans are nothing; planning is everything"-  Dwight D. Eisenhower

The energy of February is one of collaboration and planning - a powerful sense of being a part of something rather than just a passive observer. The Three Of Pentacles is the card of the builders, the planners. Whether what's being planned involves entire constitutions, laws, national policies, finances or matters in our own personal lives, what's actually the most important is the desire to make plans and changes. The message to all of us is this is a time to embrace the more unifying aspects of life - the common experiences and opinions that connect us, not divide us. When we work with others to combine our resources and knowledge to strive collectively then we truly can bring things into being or force change to happen

In February we may experience some highly charged and very public moments of people power. In both the USA and the UK, in particular we can expect to see a joining together of previously unlikely combinations of individuals and groups to seek- and achieve- the overturning of unjust practices or draconian laws. Even if there are some initial wars of words or division of opinion in those places, there is a strong sense that the prevailing energy is one of stability and reform

Mastery/The Chariot

 "Things won are done, joy's soul lies in the doing" - William Shakespeare

The end of this second month of 2025 finds many people reflecting on where they truly want to go in life. Many may now feel the urge or leave behind or move away from what no longer works or brings them any happiness. Whether this applies to career, relationships or surroundings it seems that this could be a month for a mass 'moving on' in the societal and geographical sense- both individually and even in whole cities, regions and countries. There is restless energy in the air. It's been the toughest of times for many but also a great period of 'lessons learned' by the wider population. Many are now feeling the power that can be exercised by simply choosing to move in a different direction- away from what they feel may have failed them.

Whilst logic has it's place and common sense should govern our actions, this month is a time to trust our instincts and intuition when it comes to making life changes. Driving in a new direction can be challlenging, but February signals the start of a proactive, self motivating time for people. Following an era where we might have felt that authority figures of all kinds had taken far, far too much control, this month brings the strong realisation that people can now take the reigns and steer the direction of their own lives!
