This week’s cards ask us to move out of nostalgia and inner conflict and step into personal authority. The Six of Cups, Five of Wands, and The Emperor guide us from reflection, through friction, and toward control and achievement. It’s a week about recognising where we’ve been stuck and choosing to take responsibility for where we’re going next.

Six of Cups

The Six of Cups suggests we may have been looking back at the past through rose-tinted glasses. Memories feel comforting, but we may have forgotten that life is lived in the present moment. There’s also a sense that we’ve underestimated our own influence over events, assuming fate is something that simply happens to us. This card gently reminds us that we are not passengers. When we actively steer our own course, we often discover we have far more power than we realised.

Five of Wands

The Five of Wands reflects inner and outer tension. It can feel as though everything is clashing at once and that even small things are irritating beyond proportion. Much of this conflict is less serious than it appears, but it does highlight confusion around priorities. This is a good time to pause and ask ourselves what really matters. Once we’re clear on that, much of the noise will fade into the background.

The Emperor

The Emperor brings a strong message of structure, authority, and achievement. Career goals are very much within reach, but success will come through discipline, focus, and effort rather than shortcuts. In relationships, we may feel drawn to strong, dominant personalities who offer security and stability. While these connections can be reliable, they also ask us to remain aware of power dynamics and motivations. The Emperor reminds us that true strength comes from self-mastery.

The Message of the Week

This week is about reclaiming control. By letting go of the past, clarifying our priorities, and committing to disciplined action, we place ourselves firmly in the driving seat of our lives. Progress comes when we choose responsibility over resignation.

Release the past
Clarify what truly matters
Lead our lives with confidence

"I had a big decision to make and was keen to speak with an Astrologer whom I hoped could guide me, I was led to Patrick whom I can honestly say is amazing, his Astrology skills, wisdom, accuracy and insight are second to none and not only that Patrick is very kind, patient, honourable, generous and caring. Patrick explained why I was finding it difficult to make the decision that I needed to and also advised of the best time to do so, he explained everything so clearly and in a language that anyone can understand. I now feel confidant about my next steps and will definitely be booking further appointments in the future with Patrick. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him. Thank you so much Patrick - you are a brilliant Astrologer and a wonderful person. It was a real pleasure to work with you and I look forward to speaking with you more in the future."
