~ Wairua Raeding ~

That’s a really meaningful movement of energy we have here today whānau. After the Nine of Swords, the Six of Swords shows the transition from mental heaviness into healing and moving forward. It’s the journey card, leaving rough waters for calmer ones. Like a deep out breath whānau.

The 6 of Swords reminds us that we do not have to stay where the pain or struggle began. There is a quiet journey happening here, one where we gently release what has been weighing on us and begin travelling toward peace.

Even if the path ahead still feels uncertain, trust that the direction is forward. The waters may not be perfectly calm yet whānau, but they are calmer than where we have been.

Haere whakamua e te whānau, keep moving forward. Your wairua knows the way. 🌊

~ Wairua Reading ~

After moving through the 9 of Swords, where our thoughts may have felt heavy or overwhelming, today we are gifted the Ace of Swords.

This is the energy of clarity.

The Ace of Swords arrives like a fresh wind through the mind, cutting through confusion, worry, and overthinking. Where the 9 of Swords had us sitting with our thoughts in the dark, the Ace reminds us that truth and understanding always find their way through.

Sometimes we must sit with the weight of our thoughts before the breakthrough comes. And when it does, it can feel like a veil has lifted suddenly we see things for what they truly are.

Speak your truth. Trust the clarity that is arriving. The mind is sharpening, the path is becoming clearer whānau.

He marama kei mua i te aroaro, the light is now in front of us.

~Wairua Reading ~

The card here is the Nine of Swords, which follows your 5 of Cups energy almost like the mind processing the emotions that surfaced yesterday. It’s that late night whakaaro energy, when the heart is heavy and the mind won’t quite switch off. 🌙 The committee in your head is having a late night hui.

This card reminds us how deeply our thoughts can sit with us once emotions have surfaced. Sometimes after loss, disappointment, or sudden change, the mind begins to replay things, the “what ifs”, the “should haves”, the worries that visit us in the quiet hours of the night. Practicing prayer and unburdening to a higher power, God, Universe or whatever you pray to is really helpful when feeling like this. I use the serenity prayer when the chatter becomes too loud for me.

The 9 of Swords is also a gentle reminder that many of these swords live in the mind rather than in our reality. The storm of the Tower has already passed, and now our wairua is asking us to release the weight we may be carrying in our thoughts.

Be gentle with yourself today, e te whānau. Speak kindly to your own mind, rest your tinana, and remember that even in the darkest nights the light of a new day is already on its way.

Kia tau te rangimārie ki a tātou. 🤍

~Wairua Reading~

After closing the weekend with the Tower, we step into the 5 of Cups energy. When everything falls or shifts suddenly, it can leave us sitting with the emotions that follow. Grief, disappointment, or reflection may surface as we process what has changed.

But the 5 of Cups also reminds us that not everything is lost. While some cups have spilled, there are still cups standing behind us. The Tower clears what was unstable so that something stronger and more aligned can be rebuilt.

Give yourself space to feel it all this week. Healing, rebuilding, and growth often begin in these tender spaces.

Kia kaha e te whānau, the rebuild has already begun. 🖤

Whoa that escalated quickly, eh whānau!! ⚡🔥 What a way to end the week!!

Going from Ace of Swords, King of Swords to The Tower is a seriously potent wairua sequence!!

The King of Swords sits in truth, clarity, and authority of the mind. Decisions have been made, boundaries drawn, whakaaro sharpened. There is no more confusion, only tika.

And then comes The Tower!!!!

The Tower is the universe saying,
If something was built on illusion, it cannot stand once truth arrives.

The lightning bolt is divine clarity striking the structure. It is sudden, uncomfortable, and sometimes shocking, but it is also liberating!!!

It feels like something false, unstable, or outdated is being dismantled so something stronger can rise 🔥 The truth that appeared in the Ace and matured in the King now breaks the tower open! There’s no room for hiding here!

This is not punishment!
This is realignment.

Sometimes the tower falls because our wairua already knew it couldn’t stay.

🔥 The powerful part of this sequence is that you were given the sword first, clarity, wisdom, discernment, before the tower struck. There was preparation!

Meaning you already have the mental strength and spiritual awareness to navigate whatever shifts. And you will never do it alone whānau. Remember even when the seas get rough, we paddle through change collectively.

“He waka eke noa.”
We are all in this waka together.

~Wairua Reading~

This is a powerful shift in the wairua energy. Going from the Ace of Swords to the King of Swords is like watching a spark of truth grow into full mastery of the mind. ⚔️✨

The Ace of Swords arrives like a lightning strike, a moment of clarity, truth revealed, the cutting away of illusion. It is the first breath of whakaaro mārama (clear thinking). Something becomes undeniable.

Now that energy has matured into the King of Swords.⚔️

The King sits in authority over the realm of the mind. He represents wisdom, discernment, and truth spoken with integrity. This is someone who has walked through confusion and now stands firmly in tika, what is right and just. What began as a flash of truth is now becoming embodied knowledge whānau! You are being asked not just to see the truth, but to stand in it, speak it, and lead with it. With the attitude of a King, clear boundaries, sharp intuition and intellect. Always speaking truth without fear using leadership through wisdom rather than emotion. Sounds easy right lol! 😂 Not really but the energy is in your favour here.

There is also a reminder that truth can be cutting, but it is also liberating. The King of Swords does not avoid hard conversations, he honours them. In a spiritual sense this can also represent ancestors and guides supporting strong decision making, encouraging you to trust the clarity that has come through recently. Thanks Tūpuna 🙏

The wisdom of those who came before guides the decisions we make now. So pay attention whānau.

~Wairua Reading~

That is quite the energetic shift 🔥⚡ From Ace of Wands to Ace of Swords we move from the spark of inspiration into the sharp clarity of truth.

The Ace of Wands arrived like a lightning bolt, a surge of life force, passion, and new beginnings igniting within the spirit. It was the fire of creation, the moment the wairua whispers “Āe… it is time.” Ideas, desires, and possibilities began to stir, like embers catching flame 🔥

Now the Ace of Swords rises!!

This is the breath after the fire, the moment of clear sight. The sword cuts through confusion, illusion, and the tangled thoughts that can cloud our path. What began as a fiery spark now becomes truth, clarity, and decisive knowing.

Where the wand said “Feel the calling”,
the sword says “Now see it clearly.”

This shift tells us something powerful, whānau. The universe is not only igniting our passion, it is asking us to stand in our truth. Speak it. Claim it. Think with clarity and integrity.

Sometimes the sword brings uncomfortable truth. But remember, a blade is also a tool of liberation. It cuts cords, releases doubt, and clears the pathway forward. Your wairua already felt the fire. Now your mind understands the mission!!

“Kia māia, kia kaha, kia manawanui.”
Be brave, be strong, be steadfast.

The fire lit the path.
Now the sword reveals it. ✨🗡️🔥

~Wairua Reading~

Ooooh yes 🔥 I LOVE this shift.

After the 9 of Swords on a full moon eclipse, any mental noise or fear, the “what ifs” spiralling under the red moon, here comes the Ace of Wands like a lightning strike straight from the heavens! ⚡️

This is not a gentle nudge!
This is divine ignition 🔥

The hand emerging from the clouds is pure atua energy. A spark gifted from spirit. You didn’t force this. You survived the dark thoughts, the doubt, the emotional purge of the eclipse… and now? Clarity hits. Fire returns. Your wairua says, “Enough. We begin.”

The wand is sprouting leaves 🌱
Even after the mental storm. there is growth. Even after anxiety, there is creative life force, hallelujah!!!

The Ace of Wands is a sudden idea that won’t leave you alone or a surge of confidence out of nowhere. It’s Passion reigniting, this is exciting whānau! This is your calling!! It feels almost urgent. It’s that moment where the fear burns off and what’s left is truth. 💫

Under a lunar eclipse, the 9 of Swords exposes the shadow. The Ace of Wands says, Now use it as fuel. This is initiation energy. Sexual, creative, spiritual fire. A project, a conversation, a bold move, something wants to be birthed through you. And the best part? It’s raw. It’s new. It doesn’t need to be perfect yet. The eclipse cleared the mental clutter. Now the spark lands 🔥

I hear the song “Dog days are over” by Florence and the Machine!! That’s exactly what this card and energy feel like. Play it loud, feel the vibes and embrace the Ace of wands energy.

~Wairua Reading~

Ooooh okay… this is juicy.

You’ve had the Ace of Pentacles, the seed, the new tangible blessing, the fresh doorway opening in the physical world. Then the 9 of Pentacles, self-sufficiency, independence, “I’ve built this!”

And now to be met with the “8 of Swords.”

Straight away, wairua is saying “the blessing is real, but so is the fear!!

The 8 of Swords isn’t actual imprisonment whānau. Look closely, she’s loosely bound. The swords form a circle but they don’t actually cage her in fully. She could step forward if she trusted her footing. This is mental restriction. Old whakaaro. Old stories.

After independence (9) and opportunity (Ace), comes the test,
Do you believe you deserve what you prayed for?

There’s something here about self-doubt creeping in right when things start stabilising. Questions going around in your head like
💫 What if I lose it?”
💫 What if I’m not ready?”
💫 What if this is too good?”

But look whānau the land around her is muddy because she’s standing still in it. Movement clears it! This feels like, a fear of stepping fully into abundance or a hesitation around accepting help or support. This is just old survival patterns trying to keep you “safe” by keeping you small. Don’t be fooled!!

Wairua is gentle but firm here, you are not stuck. You are just processing the shift.

You’ve gone from being handed a seed from the universe (Ace), to tending your own garden (9 of Pentacles), and now your mind is adjusting to the expansion.

So, unbind yourself, remove the blindfold for the swords are thoughts, not truth.

And honestly? The fact that this comes after Pentacles tells me the abundance is solid. The only thing that could block it… is belief!! So Breathe whānau, step forward, even one small step 🙏

~ Full moon Eclipse Reading ~

Ohhh… e te whānau, tonight is not just a sky event. This is wairua movement. 🌕

When the Moon turns red, she is not fading, she is remembering.

Around 11pm as she begins to darken, the veil softens. The light we usually lean on shifts, and what is hidden in us rises gently to the surface. This is shadow work without force. Feelings you’ve tucked away. Truths you’ve half-known. Desires you’ve been too cautious to claim.

Midnight, total eclipse. The full surrender!!! 🔥
This is the womb space. The in-between. The breath held between endings and becoming.

And at 12:33am, maximum eclipse, that’s the portal moment. 33 carries master energy. Alignment. Awakening. A recalibration of the heart. If you’re awake then, step outside. Bare feet on Papatūānuku if you can. Whisper your release. Speak the thing you are ready to let go of. The Moon in red is a purifier, she burns gently, not to destroy, but to transmute.

A lunar eclipse is emotional clearing. It pulls on our inner tides just as she pulls the moana. You may feel tender. Restless. Clear. Electric. All of it is right.

And the fact that Aotearoa sees her in her full journey tonight… that feels sacred. We are witnessing the entire transformation. No skipping the messy middle. No looking away.

There won’t be another total lunar eclipse until 2028. So this is a marker. A timestamp in your life.
Ask yourself quietly….

✨ What chapter is closing?
✨ What truth am I finally ready to see?
✨ What part of me is ready to rise from shadow into power?

Tonight isn’t about fear. The red Moon is not an omen, she is a reminder.

Even in darkness, you are still luminous. Even in shadow, you are still guided whānau!

Matariki teaches us that endings are also beginnings. This eclipse carries that same kōrero. Release with gratitude. Stand steady in your becoming.

If you’re watching tonight, tell me how it feels in your body. I have a feeling this one is going to move some deep waters. 🌑❤️

~Wairua Reading~

“9 of Cups”

I love when the cards line up like that, it feels like the universe winking at you, like “see? I heard you.” From Ace of Pentacles (the seed) straight into Nine of Cups (the harvest)? That’s not random. That’s alignment!!

The Ace brought the opportunity, something tangible, grounded, real. A new offer, a new doorway, a new stream of abundance. It was the universe placing something solid in your hands and saying, “Here. Plant this.”

And now? Someone is sitting in that Nine of Cups energy, arms folded, satisfied, emotionally content. This is the card of wish fulfillment. Of feeling full. Of looking at what you’ve manifested and thinking, “Damn… I did that.”

But here’s the deeper wairua layer 🔥

The Nine of Cups isn’t loud. It’s not chaotic joy. It’s quiet satisfaction. It’s the kind of happiness that doesn’t need validation. This person isn’t chasing, they’re receiving.

So this tells me, a wish connected to stability, money, home, or a practical dream is materialising. That Gratitude is amplifying it! And that the energy is self-contained!! This blessing may not even be public yet, but so exciting!Wairua is saying, be proud without shrinking. You asked, you believed, you planted the seed. Now you’re allowed to enjoy the fruit!

And one more thing. Nine of Cups can sometimes say, don’t get complacent. Celebrate, yes. But remember, this is one milestone. There are ten cups in the suit for a reason. 😉

Sit in that Nine of Cups energy properly tonight. Not just “oh that’s nice”… but really feel it. Gratitude locks it in. Satisfaction expands it!!!
