September 18 Tarotscopes

Kerry Ward from Tarot Bella brings you this moonths four week forecast for your element and I (Clare, of Bonearrow, first of her name, mother of jewels) write your prescription for the perfect crystals to balance your energy.

This new moon we've switched things up a bit and Kerry has pulled 3 cards for an insight into each of the Zodiac's elemental signs and offers her guidance on how to work with the energy you may experience in this new moon cycle.
​Find your element below to read your tarotscope. ​​

The twelve signs of the zodiac are categorised into four groups of three signs, each ruled by a particular element:

Air - Gemini, Libra, Aquarius.
Earth - Taurus, Virgo, Capircorn.
Fire - Aries, Leo, Sagittarius.
Water - Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces.

The signs ruled by each element are naturally compatible with each other, they ‘get’ each other and share similar values, attitudes and outlooks on life. Birds of a feather fly together. If your coven had a member from each zodiac sign, your other two element signs would be your best witches.

WATER Signs- Scorpio, Cancer, Pisces

The High Priestess, Father of Cups, The Star

You’re being blessed this month by the tarot’s card of hope and wishes- The Star. Feel its magickal silver light beam down on you, inspiring you to look to the sky and aim as high as you can. The Universe is ready to grant you a wish. Don’t hold back here, because this energy is truly magick. Make it count.
You know, deep down, you already felt this coming (Water signs are all psychic). The High Priestess is a mysterious guardian of inner knowledge and intuition and she invites you to listen to your inner self as to what this wish should be. Feel it, don’t think it.
Your emotions and feelings are King this month, as shown by the compassionate, wise Father of Cups. He will help you to relax and tune in, beyond the everyday noise and chatter, to what your feelings are trying to tell you. Between him and The High Priestess, you’re about to unveil your greatest wish. AND make it come true.

Your Crystal Prescription: 

Topaz is a stone of feeling rather than knowing, being rather than doing. It’s bright, tranquil, happy energy brings confidence and joy, helping your inner light shine out into the world. Use Topaz’s positive, soothing vibes to magnify your energy and manifest your wishes.

FIRE Signs - Leo, Aries, Sagittarius ​

Wheel of Fortune, Daughter of Wands, Ace of Cups

Cards representing change and new news sweep into your life this month with a burst of inspiring, lively energy. You feel daring!
The Wheel of Fortune never stops spinning, and nothing ever stays the same. But, this month, you are being invited to step up onto its carnival platform and push the wheel yourself! One change can change everything… what will it be?
The Ace of Cups hints that it’s the addition or ‘birth’ of something new, rather than a withdrawal or exit. Something which you feel inspired about. Something emotive. Something which stirs you up inside. Maybe it’s a new love?
Dancing around fortune’s carnival you espy the Daughter of Wands. She waves over to let you know that this is all a grand game. Don’t take things too seriously. Don’t fret if the changes you’ve triggered don’t ALL pan out as you hoped. Remember- nothing stays the same. Enjoy the ride!

Your Crystal Prescription:

Citrine is the perfect crystal partner to amplify the positive energy coming your way! Citrine helps to stir the soul to action, transforming negative thoughts and feelings into positive ones and raising self-esteem. And, as Citrine is said to have the power of the Sun, it’s optimism and positivity attracts abundance to you bringing success and creative inspiration.

EARTH Signs - Virgo, Capricorn, Taurus

Nine of Swords, Mother of Wands, Mother of Cups

There is some unrest amongst the powerful female figures in your life, perhaps family, friends or even colleagues, but this is something amongst women who know (and like, even love) each other. The Nine of Swords cuts deeply to the heart of a matter which has arisen from unspoken anxiety. They are fearful about something in the future, but their secrecy around this worry has allowed it to fester, grow out of proportion and take a hold over their relationships. Perhaps, even, you yourself have been drawn into this mood and mindset…
The Mother of Coins and the Mother of Wands are walking with you this month to help you unravel and resolve this troubled matter. They will provide a dose of pragmatic common sense followed by a measure of optimism and renewed hope for the future- keep their energy close as you navigate this situation. The key is to talk it through, airing these concerns and fears, sharing what has been previously unspoken. Stay calm, address each worry pragmatically, and reinforce that the future is bright. Coax these women away from the shadows, and help to heal their (and your?) rift. 

Your Crystal Prescription:

Pyrite is a crystal of positive energy, and is extremely helpful for melancholy and negative thoughts. Pyrite also helps you to see beyond pretence and falsity and see the truth behind a persons words and actions. With empowering and encouraging energy, Pyrite helps you to overcome fears and, as a stone of action, it can help you move forward with confidence.

AIR Signs - Libra, Aquarius, Gemini

Father of Swords, Ace of Cups, Five of Wands

The Father of Swords lends you his power this month, his clear-sighted and future-facing insight about the trajectory of your current life’s pathway. Where are you heading? What route are you taking? Are you comfortable walking this way?
Consider the places, as indicated by the Five of Wands, where there is conflict, strife or struggle. Some people believe difficulties should always be persevered through, but sometimes perhaps their presence is hinting that you’re investing your energy in something which isn’t the right fit for you. The strife is there because there’s no true connection.
The Father of Swords will help you work through this self-analysis and, with a warm smile, will reward you with the Ace of Cups as you reach your conclusion. A gift from the Universe, something fulfilling, rejuvenating and inspiring which will renew your appreciation for life itself.
As you consider your trajectory and the difficult places you may not belong, trust that the changes you’re making will open up space for yourself to invest fully in this wonderful new gift.

Your Crystal Prescription:

Garnet is a very useful crystal to have in a crisis! Particularly in situations where there seems to be no way out as it brings courage and hope, so, if you are facing a tough time, Garnet is your ally. This dark red crystal balances energy, bringing serenity or passion as appropriate and helps you to let go of things which no longer serve you and bring into your life that which is needed. Imagine a compass with a needle tipped with Garnet, showing you the road ahead you must take. Walk away from that which does not serve you and begin your journey into the new.
