How to Predict Timing with Tarot
When performing the Celtic Cross, there are three positions that can reveal when the event will happen: The Advice, The Ultimate Outcome, and The Underworld. Acknowledge all these possibilities. But your intuition will tell you which is most likely.
THE MAJOR ARCANA
The Fool – Whenever you are ready
The Magician – It has already begun
The High Priestess – You know exactly when
The Empress – During harvest season
The Emperor – It is almost done
The Hierophant – It is finished
The Lovers – As soon as you make the choice
The Chariot – In just a few moments
Strength – The minute you accept it
The Hermit – Only after you meditate on it
The Wheel of Fortune – During your first or next Saturn Return
Justice – When you least expect it
The Hanged Man – When the circumstances change
Death – Whenever it is ready
Temperance – After the storm
The Devil – It is happening right now
The Tower – Soon, unexpectedly and suddenly
The Star – The more you believe, the sooner it will happen
The Moon – It cannot be determined at the moment
The Sun – In the summer or by sunrise
Judgement – Soon and inevitably
The World – In divine timing
THE MINOR ARCANA
THE SUIT OF WANDS
Ace of Wands – One day
Two of Wands – Two days

To Help You Remember:
Wands are days, because they are fire, and fire moves fast.
Swords are weeks, because while a sword is quick to cut, it first requires some thinking on the warrior’s part.
Cups are months, because they are water, and water flows with the moon, which completes a cycle in roughly a month.
Pentacles are seasons to years, because they are seeds, and some seeds only require a season to grow while others need a year.
The timings for the Major Arcana and the Pages are related to the cards’ meanings. Once you know the meanings, you know the timings.
The Kings, Queens and Knights are the Zodiac signs’ birthdays:
King of Wands – Leo (Fixed Fire)
Queen of Wands – Aries (Cardinal Fire)
Knight of Wands – Sagittarius (Mutable Fire)
King of Cups – Scorpio (Fixed Water)
Queen of Cups – Cancer (Cardinal Water)
Knight of Cups – Pisces (Mutable Water)
King of Swords – Aquarius (Fixed Air)
Queen of Swords – Libra (Cardinal Air)
Knight of Swords – Gemini (Mutable Air)
King of Pentacles – Taurus (Fixed Earth)
Queen of Pentacles – Capricorn (Cardinal Earth)
Knight of Pentacles – Virgo (Mutable Earth)

Over 70 individual art pieces and many more natural specimens make up this finished piece. I have been working on this one for a while! I’m calling it “Unnatural History Museum”
The second image is a detail shot, the third a long exposure shot of it in the dark so you can see the glow-in-the-dark elements
The Platypus, where do we start
Theyre certainly strange mammals, albeit egg layers.
Females seeping milk from thier skin via specialist mammary glands. Males laden with venomous spurs.
Using electrical impulses to hunt, thier front feet to swim and spending extraordinary amounts of time underwater thanks to two coats of fur.
And lets not forget they also glow green!

When I was a kid I remember hearing the Gordon Lightfoot song The Wreck of The Edmund Fitzgerald from 1976. Being a child it scared me and filled me with a wonder for those who make their living at sea. It sparked something in me, in the following years I read many books on ships and submarines lost at sea like the RSM Titanic, the SS Andrea Doria, the Mary Celeste, USS Squalus (SS-192), the USS Cyclops and the like it is something that still fills me with fear and respect for those folks. On this day, Nov. 10, 1975, the SS Edmund Fitzgerald broke apart and sank in to the bottom of Lake Superior near Whitefish Point. Here’s a complete list of the crew and their roles at the time of the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald:
Ernest McSorley — Captain born in 1912.
John McCarthy — First mate born in 1913.
James Pratt — Second mate born in 1931.
Michael Armagost — Third mate born in 1938.
David Weiss — Cadet born in 1953.
Ransom Cundy — Watchman born in 1922.
Karl Peckol — Watchman born in 1955.
William Spengler — Watchman born in 1916.
John Simmons — Senior wheelman born in 1913.
Eugene O’Brien — Wheelman born in 1925.
John Poviach — Wheelman born in 1916.
Paul Riippa — Deckhand born in 1953.
Mark Thomas — Deckhand born in 1954.
Bruce Hudson — Deckhand born in 1953.
George Holl — Chief engineer born in 1915.
Edward Bindon — First assistant engineer born in 1928.
Thomas Edwards — Second assistant engineer born in 1925.
Russell Haskell — Second assistant engineer born in 1935.
Oliver Champeau — Third assistant engineer born in 1934.
Ralph Walton — Oiler born in 1917.
Blaine Wilhelm — Oiler born in 1923.
Thomas Bentsen — Oiler born in 1952.
Gordon MacLellan — Wiper born in 1945.
Robert Rafferty — Steward born in 1913.
Allen Kalmon — Second steward born in 1932.
Joseph Mazes — Special maintenance man born in 1916.
Thomas Borgeson — Maintenance man born in 1934.
Frederick Beetcher — Porter born in 1919.

Didn’t like romcoms ever - watched a handful of movies, never read Mills & Boons. Still haven’t. What were my handful favourites then?
Pride and Prejudice - Darcy and Elizabeth. I enjoy period novels, dramas and romance. This was the perfect combination. It ruined me cause nothing ever came close to this book, series and this pair. Two strong willed , opinionated personalities clashed and how! Read the book as a 11 year old and that was the romance I desired. Mr Darcy was flawed and perfect, brooding and charming, intense and loving. He was every woman’s desire and dream come true. Elizabeth was equally matched - intelligent, sharp witted, confident , loyal and loving. A match made in heaven that’s what it was. It was the perfect push you far away but will draw you back in romance. Angst and desire. And then there was Jennifer Ehle and Colin Firth - they exceeded my expectations of how I had imagined Elizabeth and Darcy to be. Colin Firth made sure Darcy would rule my heart for decades. Still does!
North and South : Thornton and Margaret. A tale told amidst the class divide and industrial changes that Britain underwent. A soft, subtle , slow burn romance. That kiss between Armitage and Denny-Ashe on the platform is one of most swoon worthy kisses ever in any drama series or movie! The book equally good to read.
You Have Got Mail - Tom Hank and Meg Ryan. Neither are drop dead gorgeous people - but both being an endearing charm to the screen and created magic twice - Sleepless in Seattle and then You Have Got Mail. I never really got drawn by the former , but the latter has my heart. The charm of 90s online chats, the mysterious stranger who could be the love of your life , the guy next door. It was so formulaic that you predicted exactly how the story would go and yet these two made you fall in love with it.
When Harry Met Sally - My favourite romantic trope. Friends turned lovers. The bickering, the banter, the I know you better than anyone else. And yet again Meg Ryan - Flawless
Notting Hill - Julia Roberts’ wide smile and Hugh Grant looking dreamy as ever. When i moved to London , I wanted to visit that cute little bookstore where the romance began! The soundtrack of the movie and gorgeous London setting.
Love Actually : Alan Rickman, Hugh Grant, Colin Firth, Emma Thompson, Keira Knightley - and Christmas. I was sold - I watch this movie as a Christmas ritual every year. The 6 stories interlinked and I enjoy it even today - cliched maybe but the cast nailed it!
Me Before You - Has there been a more gut wrenching and yet so wonderfully told positive love story? Clarke and Will were a match made in heaven - but were never meant to be. And yet in the short time they spent together they gave each other a whole new world and life! ‘Just live well….just live’ I go back to the last scene a million times - it’s so important to count our blessings and live well - because we only get to do so once!
Bollywood romance never worked for me - I loved a lot of movies , hell I grew up on them but none really made me go weak in my knees. We girls then teenagers all wanted to go on a Europe trip after watching DDLJ, but we didn’t really want to meet a Rahul on the trip. The actors and actresses were lovely to watch, the stories were heartfelt but they did not make my heart flutter.
And post the ‘00s - even Hollywood romance turned cliched, the scripts were same old, the chemistry was alright. Good one time watch and then to be forgotten.
And then last year before pandemic hit I was intrigued by a trailer on Netflix - Army romance is my weak point. Hyun Bin looked stunningly handsome in the trailer and it intrigued me , so I started watching CLOY on my flight to USA and fell in love with Yoon SeRi and Captain Ri! I binged the entire series on my round trip and I couldn’t believe I had enjoyed a pure romcom! Great storytelling, terrific characterisations, picture perfect men - what world is this and how had I not discovered it for so long!
So 18 months down the line having watched over 70+ Kdramas - here I’m finally penning down my thoughts. If you enjoy my posts - drop in and say hi!

Forecasting the Weather
Hello lighthouse keepers, sailors, fishermen, and even pirates! I had an urge today to learn some wisdom from the seafarers of yore and landed on their methods of forecasting the weather, and thought you all might appreciate the knowledge too. Keep in mind these aren’t an exact science, but rather some helpful pointers for predicting weather!
Tip 1: Observe Birds
This isn’t generally as accurate as the following tips, so it’s first on the list. But this was a method used so I did include it. Seabirds will generally congregate inland when a storm is brewing or approaching. If the birds are all on the shore, expect rainfall! There are two sayings to remember this:
“Swallows high, staying dry; swallows low the wet will blow”
“Seabirds stay out from the land, we won’t have good weather while you’re on the sand.”
Tip 2: Keep an Eye on the Sky
You’ve probably heard the saying “Red sky at night, sailor’s delight; Red sky in the morning, sailors take warning.” A red sky is caused by dust particles hovering in the air, meaning the air is stable and relatively unmoving. If the sky is red at night, it means high pressure systems are moving west, meaning the following day will likely see no rain. Inversely, high pressure system having already moved east generally means the good weather has passed and wet weather will follow.
“Ring around the moon, rain coming soon.” If you see a halo around the sun or moon, it’s light refracting through ice crystals in the sky, meaning moisture, generally meaning rain is approaching.
Clouds can also help predict the weather but I want to keep this post short and concise so I’ll make another post on clouds another day!
Tip 3: Miscellaneous
The following generally mean that moisture is in the air, and thus rain is likely
salt gets sticky and gains weight
ropes get shorter and knots tighter
chronic pain and/or arthritis flare up
And even if rain comes you didn’t expect, let this saying comfort you:
“Rain foretold, long last; Short notice, soon shall pass.”
I hope this helps you all connect with your chosen seafaring -core! Go forth and observe the seagulls!
“THE BODY was found haloed by flies—& I looked beautiful
in their thousands of eyes. Didn’t I?”
