Shine The Light In The Dark Places

02/04/2026

Thanks for the wisdom Little Owl 🦉 💚

Happy Full Moon in Libra, my friends! I hope you are all well! With Venus, ruler of the Moon, newly in domicile in Ta**us- we have a beautiful opportunity at the moment to to release any old resentments, angers, fears that have been souring our relationships. Simply put- don't worry about what someone has done, might do or is doing- recognise that all of us on earth are struggling humans who make mistakes but want to be happy. None of this means that we need to take any particular action, but a change of perspective at this time may be the seed needed in order to bring more peace, loveliness and harmony into our own lives and into the world in general.

====

With this Full Moon squaring Jupiter in Cancer there may be some elements of past experience that come through a little stronger than we might expect. There could be ancestral messages, or even just an emotional encounter that triggers a release that we may have been working on for quite some time. But remember! It may not be beneficial to identify too strongly with a journey of shadow work, releasing trauma and difficulty etc. We may as well just live now and take things as they come, the best we can- this is no linear journey of reclaiming ourselves and somehow becoming wonderful and fixed. This is a merry-go-round of eternal surprises, change, unfoldments- each crazier than the last!

===

With Venus currently square Pluto it may be wise to be on the lookout for ourselves and others seeking to control a given situation out of fear. It will be something that you are aware of and see coming. Again, it might not be best to be upset by anyone's actions if you can help it. Maybe you can feel compassion for them instead and extend your good wishes from a safe distance- and look at yourself at how you may be grabbing onto the sweet things in life, at the expense of allowing your life to flourish. ###

Mmm this weave just keeps getting deeper and softer in all the right ways whānau😮‍💨

As the Queen of Cups steps in after Strength, everything begins to settle. The fire of holding your ground, of choosing your response, now melts into water… into feeling… into intuition.

It feels like after that childlike reaction to power, after the awareness of systems and control, and after choosing to stand steady within yourself… you’re guided back into the heart space. But this time, it’s not the fragile, easily swayed heart, it’s a wise, attuned, deeply knowing heart 💙
it.

But looking closer… she brings through something even deeper.

There’s a quiet inner child energy here, the small crowned figure, almost doll-like, sitting so still with what she feels. There’s innocence, but also a sense of emotions being held, contained… perhaps not fully expressed, but gently carried.

Her dress isn’t just fabric, it’s alive!! That sea-creature weaving through it feels like emotion that has been tucked away, integrated into your being. Not gone… not forgotten… just quietly moving beneath the surface.

This Queen doesn’t react quickly. She feels first.
She listens beneath the surface.
She knows what is hers… and what is not.

And yet she also whispers…
“Don’t forget what you’ve been carrying.”

There may be feelings that haven’t had full voice, emotions you’ve held gracefully, perhaps to keep the peace, to stay strong, or simply because there wasn’t space to release them at the time. That gentle creature feels like those emotions softly saying, “I’m still here… ready when you are.”

And then there’s that tiny boat beside her… such a quiet but powerful symbol. You don’t have to dive all the way into the depths and overwhelm yourself. You can navigate your emotional world slowly, intentionally, with care. Bit by bit whānau, easy does it 🙏

She looks downward… not in shame, but in reflection. In witnessing. This is a turning inward, a sacred kind of seeing.

After noticing imbalance (6 of Pentacles),
after recognising power and control (Emperor),
after choosing inner strength over reaction (Strength)…

the Queen of Cups arrives and says,
“Now… come back to yourself.”

Back to your intuition.
Back to your wairua.
Back to the quiet voice that doesn’t shout, but always tells the truth.

As a Cancerian, and with this Full Moon energy present, this Queen resonated with me on such a deep, personal level. It felt less like I was reading her, and more like I was sitting within her energy. From that space, the intuition didn’t need to be forced… it simply poured out.

So there’s a nurturing energy here too, not just for others, but for self. Almost like tending to your own emotional body after moving through something that stirred you. Letting yourself soften without losing your boundaries.

There’s also an invitation here… not just to feel, but to acknowledge what has been quietly held. To gently unravel what no longer needs to be carried in silence.

And I can’t help but feel, especially with that global awareness we are all feeling atm, this Queen reminds you not to become hardened by what you’re seeing or feeling out there. To stay open, but protected. To care, but not carry everything.

She holds compassion… without drowning in it.

This feels like a return to balance, but on a deeper level than where you started at the beginning of the week. Not just balancing what you give and receive externally, but balancing your inner world.

And with the Full Moon sitting close, it makes sense that everything feels a little fuller… a little closer to the surface… like the wairua is gently asking to be felt, not pushed away. Not everything needs to be held onto… some things are simply ready to be seen, honoured, and released.

Honestly, this is a beautiful landing after everything that’s come before 🤍
Kia ora Kuini 👸

When I pulled this card, I couldn’t help but laugh a little, straight away I heard that cheeky, childlike chant echo through… “nah nah nah nah nah, I’m the king of the castle, you’re the dirty rascal!” And just like that, we’re met again with this almost playful, but telling, childlike response to power and position.

As Strength comes in after the Emperor, the energy shifts from external authority into something much more internal… but not without first acknowledging that instinct to claim space, to rise above, to assert “this is mine.” There’s something so human in that reaction. It takes us right back to those early ways we learned about power, who’s on top, who has the say, who feels bigger or smaller in the moment.

In this image, she stands elevated, surrounded by these delicate, almost unstable layers beneath her. It doesn’t feel as solid as it looks, and yet she isn’t scrambling to hold it all together. There’s a calmness, a quiet awareness. Strength here doesn’t feel loud or forceful, it feels contained, like a deep breath held steady in the body.

That playful chant I heard carries the shadow side of this energy, the urge to dominate, to separate, to create hierarchy. But the deeper wairua of Strength gently moves us beyond that. It reminds us that true strength isn’t about standing above others… it’s about standing firmly within yourself.

Following on from the 6 of Pentacles and the Emperor, this feels like a powerful turning point. You’ve seen where energy has been uneven. You’ve felt the weight of external structures or control. And now, instead of reacting or pushing back, Strength asks you to choose a different way of being.

Not hardened. Not reactive.
But grounded. Steady. Self-led!!!

There’s courage here whānau, the kind that doesn’t need to prove anything. The kind that doesn’t get pulled into the noise or the games happening around you. You don’t need to shout to be heard, and you don’t need to stand on top of anything unstable to know your place!

You just stand in your own mana 🔥

And from that place… everything shifts.

As the Emperor steps in after the 6 of Pentacles, the energy shifts from noticing balance… into structure, authority, and control. It feels firmer, more defined, like something is being set in place, whether we’re ready for it or not!

In this image, there’s something almost childlike about the Emperor, yet they’re dressed in authority, sitting tall, riding steady. It carries that uneasy tension… where power doesn’t always feel as grounded or wise as it presents itself. And it’s stirring that feeling of power and control coming from an immature place, especially when you look at what’s unfolding globally right now!

The wairua here isn’t just about leadership, it’s about how power is held and expressed.

Following on from the 6 of Pentacles, where we were asked to look at exchange and energetic cords, the Emperor comes in and almost says, “Now look at the systems those exchanges sit within.” Who holds the power? Who makes the rules? Who benefits, and who doesn’t?

There can be a heaviness to this card when it shows up like this. A sense of rigidity, control, or decisions being made that affect many. I feel this so much right now with the collective, because this energy often mirrors both the personal and the global at the same time.

But alongside that, there’s also a call to come back into your own inner Emperor. Not the controlling, rigid version, but the grounded, steady, protective force within you. The part of you that creates safety, structure, and clear boundaries for yourself and your whānau. The things that you have power over 🙏 ###

Because when the external world feels uncertain or heavy, this card reminds you, you still get to choose how you stand!

There’s a quiet question moving through this energy though of,
Where am I giving my power away… and where can I gently reclaim it?

It doesn’t mean shutting everything out or becoming hard but it does mean becoming intentional. Standing firm in your values. Protecting your energy. Creating your own sense of order when things around you feel unpredictable.

It’s okay that this card feels uncomfortable whānau. That discomfort is awareness! And awareness is where your power begins to return!

We open this week held in the energy of the 6 of Pentacles, and straight away there is a quiet noticing of balance… of flow… of exchange. Not just in the physical sense of giving and receiving, but in the unseen spaces too, the energetic cords that move between you and others. I have so been feeling this lately!!

In this image, there is a softness, but also something that asks us to look a little deeper. The kōtiro stands holding the strings, gently connected to those around her. It doesn’t feel harsh, but it does feel intentional. It speaks to the ways we are tied, through care, through responsibility, through habit, through love… and sometimes through expectation! She looks a bit pi**ed off or over it as well! Who’s feeling that??

This week carries an invitation to become aware of those connections. Where your energy is flowing outward, and whether it is being returned in a way that nourishes you. There is no judgement here, just a gentle illumination. A remembering that giving is sacred, but only when it comes from a place of fullness, not depletion. I’ve learnt that I am only 50% responsible for my part in the relationships or friendships that I have. Not 80-100%

There may be moments where you notice a quiet imbalance. A feeling of giving a little more than you have, or perhaps holding back from receiving because it feels unfamiliar, or even undeserved. The wairua of this card leans in softly and reminds you that you are allowed to receive with openness, just as much as you give with aroha.

There is also something here about mana, about standing in your own authority over where your energy goes. Not every cord needs to be held tightly. Some can be softened, loosened, or even released with love. You are not here to carry everything, for everyone!

As the week unfolds whānau let yourself move with awareness. Notice what feels light and reciprocal, and what feels heavy or one-sided. Trust that inner knowing. This is a rebalancing, a gentle realignment, bringing you back into a space where giving and receiving can flow in harmony again.

There is no rush here. Just a quiet return to balance.

Whānau… what a journey this week has been 🔥✨

From standing in your worth, to moving with purpose, to feeling deep fulfilment, finding balance, facing your doubts, and then choosing your next path…

And now we close the week with the 2 of Pentacles 🌿

This is real life integration!!!

The 2 of Pentacles isn’t about big, loud energy, it’s about juggling, balancing, adjusting. It’s the reminder that growth doesn’t just happen in those big, magical moments… it happens in the everyday choices, the small shifts, the way you manage it all.

After the vision of the 2 of Wands, this card says “Okay… how are you going to make this work in your actual life?”

This is ….
🤎 Prioritising what matters
🤎 Finding rhythm between responsibilities and dreams
🤎 Staying flexible when things shift
🤎 Not dropping yourself while you handle everything else

There’s a flow here, like the tides. You don’t have to have it all perfectly sorted… you just need to keep moving with it.

The full weekly flow has been empowering whānau!!
9 of Pentacles~ I know my worth
The Chariot~I moved forward with intention
9 of Cups~ I felt deep fulfilment
Temperance~ I found balance and peace
8 of Swords~ I faced my limiting thoughts
2 of Wands~I chose my path forward
2 of Pentacles~Now I learn to balance and sustain it

This is where it becomes real, whānau. Not just energy, not just insight but embodied. Living it, breathing it, adjusting as you go.

You don’t need perfection. You just need presence, awareness, and a willingness to keep showing up.

You’ve done some powerful mahi this week… now trust yourself to hold it all 🤍 Your tūpuna are saying, “yep you’ve grown!! Now live it”

Well after the 8 of Swords brought up those limiting thoughts, that doubt, that moment of feeling stuck in the mind… we now step into the 2 of Wands, and this is where things start to open back up. Yay!!

This is vision. This is choice. This is you standing at the edge of what you know… and looking out toward what’s possible! The 2 of Wands comes through and says, “you’re not stuck, you’re deciding.”

All that overthinking from yesterday? It was showing you where fear was trying to keep you small. But now… you’ve got awareness. And with awareness comes power.

This energy is about…
🔥 Planning your next move
🔥 Trusting your direction
🔥 Thinking bigger than your current environment
🔥 Choosing growth over comfort

There’s a quiet confidence here, not loud like The Chariot, not soft like Temperance… but intentional. Like you’re holding the world in your hands and asking, “where to next?”

Don’t shrink your vision because of yesterday’s doubts. Let them inform you, not control you.

This is a powerful pivot point, whānau. You’re not lost… you’re on the edge of expansion 🌍✨

Where you go next is up to you.

We’ve moved through such a beautiful, aligned flow with the 9 of Pentacles → The Chariot → 9 of Cups → Temperance, everything building, softening, coming into harmony.

And then the 8 of Swords steps in ⚡️ 🗡️

This isn’t a punishment energy, this is a mirror!

The 8 of Swords speaks to feeling stuck, overthinking, or trapping yourself in your own thoughts. It’s that moment where even though things are aligning around you… your mind starts to question it.

“Is this too good to be true?”
“What if it all falls apart?”
“Am I actually ready for this?”

Sound familiar? 👀

But here’s the truth, whānau, the binds in this card are loose. The blindfold can be removed. This isn’t a real trap, it’s a perception!!

After all that growth, movement, love, and balance… this energy is showing where you might still be holding onto fear, doubt, or old patterns of thinking.

Temperance just told us to trust the flow! The 8 of Swords asks, “do you actually trust it though?”

This is that moment where growth meets the mind, and the mind’s like “ummm wait a minute” 😅

Be gentle with yourself here 🙏 This isn’t about getting it “wrong” it’s about becoming aware. You’re not stuck whānau. You’re just being asked to see differently.

Take off the blindfold, loosen the ties, and remember who you’ve just become over these past few days… that version of you isn’t meant to stay small 🤍

Whānau… this flow just keeps getting more beautiful and more intentional this week!

After arriving in the fullness of the 9 of Cups, that aroha, that connection, that deep emotional fulfilment, we are now joined by Lady Temperance 🌿

And her energy is gentle but powerful… she comes in and says, “hold this… nurture this whānau”.

Temperance is all about balance, harmony, patience, and flow. She reminds us that the happiness and connection we’ve stepped into doesn’t need to be rushed, controlled, or overwhelmed. It needs to be tended to, like a garden.

There’s a beautiful message here around blending energies, Head and heart, Giving and receiving, Doing and being 🙏

She’s asking you to move slowly, to stay grounded, and to trust the natural rhythm of things. Not everything needs a big push like The Chariot some things grow stronger with ease and consistency.

✨ Your flow right now….
9 of Pentacles — I know my worth
The Chariot — I moved with purpose
9 of Cups — I feel the love and fulfilment
Temperance — Now I honour and protect this balance

This is where peace becomes sustainable. This is where you don’t just experience joy… you maintain it.
So whānau take your time. Stay centred. Pour back into yourself as much as you pour into others.

Everything is aligning, gently, beautifully, and exactly as it should 🌈

Whānau… are you seeing this flow?! 😮‍🔥✨

We have arrived at the 9 of Cups 🥹🌈

This is pure fulfilment!!! Not just material, not just personal, but emotional, spiritual, and whānau-based happiness. This is the kind of joy that feels safe, grounded, and shared. The kind you don’t have to chase… because you’ve aligned yourself with it.

This card is giving, connection, whānau unity, peace within and around you as well as motional balance and harmony. Yes please Atua!!

All that mahi you’ve been doing on yourself… all that discipline, all that growth, it’s not just for you. It ripples out into your relationships, your tamariki, your people. This is the reward!! 😭♥️ makes me feel emotional!

But whānau don’t get so caught up in the “next move” that you forget to feel this moment. This is the energy of sitting together, laughing, loving, and knowing “we’re good.” Celebrate good times, come on 🎶 🎵

✨ Your flow right now…
9 of Pentacles — I built this for myself
The Chariot — I moved it forward with purpose
9 of Cups — Now I get to share and feel the fullness of it!!!

Let yourself soften into this. Let yourself receive love, give love, and be present in it.

This is what it’s all for whānau 🤍

~Wairua Reading ~

Whānau, following on from the beautiful, grounded abundance of the 9 of Pentacles, we now move into the energy of The Chariot and you can feel that shift straight away 👀🔥!

Yesterday was about recognising your growth, standing in your independence, and receiving the fruits of your mahi. Today, The Chariot comes through and says, “kei te pai… now what are you going to do with it?”

This is movement, direction, and intention. It’s about taking all that confidence, all that self-worth you’ve been building, and actually driving it forward. No more sitting on your potential, this is you grabbing the reins and choosing your path.

The two sphinx remind us that there can be opposing energies pulling at you, doubt vs confidence, comfort vs growth, but The Chariot asks you to stay focused, grounded in your why, and keep moving ahead with clarity.

There’s a strong message here about self-discipline and control. Not in a restrictive way, but in a “I know where I’m going and I won’t let distractions take me off track” kind of way.

✨ Your flow right now, 9 of Pentacles “I am enough, I have built this”, to
The Chariot, “Now I move with purpose and intention!!!”

Don’t rush, but don’t stall either. Trust your direction. You’re not being pushed, you’re being guided forward.

Kia kaha, stay focused, and back yourself whānau… you’re in the driver’s seat now 🐎 , you are “unstoppable!” Play Sia “Unstoppable” and stay with the momentum!!
