Pisces New Moon Tarot and Oracle Reading
Burning a sandalwood candle this afternoon I was drawn to shuffle The Witches Tarot deck, instead of my usual preference to the Crow Tarot. As the universe continues to spin today; February 27, 2025, marks the New Moon in Pisces. Time for dreams to be rooted into reality. Clarity of the true self becomes apparent as recognition of what needs healing within comes into focus. Intentions are to be set, dare to dream. Following the Tarot and Oracle reading for today I would like to share my personal plans for the New Moon tonight.

The Perfect Age? It's the One You're Living Right Now
Chasing the Illusion of the "Golden Years" People often look back wistfully: "Childhood was magical, carefree, and full of wonder." Teenagers long for adulthood, dreaming of freedom. Adults reminisce about youth, and older generations wish they had cherished their prime more.

Finding Myself in the Deep End
Sam Carter was a guy who’d pretty much given up on mornings—or anything, really. He was 32, stuck behind a desk all day, coming home to a couch that knew his shape too well. Life wasn’t awful, just gray—like fog that wouldn’t lift. He’d scroll Instagram, see these jacked dudes flexing or marathon runners with their medals, and think, “Yeah, right. Not me.” Too late for that. Too tired. But there was this itch, you know? This quiet little voice poking at him, saying he wasn’t done yet. He ignored it mostly—until Mia showed up.

Unwrapping the Heart of Valentine’s Day: Discovering Love Beyond Romance
Individuals have been mesmerized by the emotion of love since time itself began. It is a theme of books, poetry, music, and painting. Tens of thousands of tales have been born because of it, and it has fueled wars and revolutions. As opposed to other holidays that depend upon history, cultural tradition, or religious basis, Valentine's Day is the one holiday dedicated to commemorating love, the most intrinsic and universal emotion in humans. However, what makes love so seductive? How did Valentine's Day originate, and what does it mean? More importantly, why should we celebrate it with our family, friends, and loved ones?

Tuesday Waiting Room, 4 PM
I’ve been here before. It was the unrealised trips to the GP that brought me here, to the UTC, over an hour's walk away from home. The GP instructs you to submit a form online at 8 a.m. and wait for a call from the doctor. The waiting time is uncertain, could be 10 a.m., 12 p.m., or even 4 p.m. You spend the entire day at home, with the anxiety rising through the roof, while your downstairs neighbours loudly change the oven. They once complained about you being noisy when the upstairs neighbours walked loudly in their flat for three hours straight while you tried to concentrate. It's unfair. A council officer wanted to talk to me during the downstairs loudness, and the only lifebuoy lied in this telephone appointment I was waiting for. That was a relief. He didn’t come back on Monday as per his anxious promise. He should check their records because I was the one who complained about the upstairs neighbour first. After months of being stepped upon, woken up at night and pulled away from my inner work. I hoped the situation would improve on its own. My nerves are still frazzled, despite my attempts to be nice and not complain. But it was just too much.

Understanding Mental Health Disparities In Sexual Minorities
Mental Health issues affect a significant portion of the global population. In 2017, approximately 971 million individuals experienced mental health problems, including 264 million suffering from depression and 284 million battling anxiety disorders. These challenges are prevalent across all demographics, impacting people regardless of gender, age, or geographic location. Moreover, mental disorders can hinder employment opportunities and economic stability, further exacerbating the struggles of those affected. Among the vulnerable groups facing mental health struggles are sexual minorities-people whose sexual orientation or gender identity is different from the majority. This includes LGTBQ+ individuals, such as gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, and non-binary people, who often experience unique mental health challenges due to societal stigma and discrimination.

Political Chess: The Power Moves You’re Not Supposed to See
I’ve always had a knack for spotting patterns—seeing the bigger picture when others focus on the details. It’s not some mystical gift; it’s just how my mind works. Over time, I’ve come to realize that politics isn’t about governance—it’s about strategy. It’s a game where the rules are hidden, the players are controlled, and the public is kept in the dark. The problem? Most people don’t even realize they’re on the board.
