Tarot Reading for the Collective ~ December © 2011 Sarah Barry
This tarot reading begins on a Sydney train station on a rainy day. My flower-and-glitter-laden pushbike stays at home as I choose a day without the need to wear a fluoro yellow rain suit to get myself to work warm and dry. Considering the wintry rainy weather Sydney has been experiencing as we enter into … Continue reading
Tarot Reading For The Collective ~ November © 2011 Sarah Barry
Dear November, I write to you on behalf of everyone. A bold statement I know, especially considering I have not met every single member of the 7 billion human clan on the planet. I also haven’t spoken to anyone else about this letter to you. So yes, bold. And undoubtedly crazy. Allow me to reassure … Continue reading

The Death card stands before us, beckoning a way forward that will surely allow us to let go of the fetters of everyday life. “Walk with me and allow your lives to become spacious and free” it says with a knowing smile. Keep in mind; the Death Tarot card is not necessarily talking about actual death, just … Continue reading
Tarot Reading For The Collective ~ September © 2011 Sarah Barry
There was a small scuffle as we entered the month of September (the good ol’ 5 of Wands is always ready for some shenanigans), because we had forgotten that there were more important things to do. What could possibly be more important than throwing around our highly enlightening opinions? Surely people need to be reminded … Continue reading

Dearest Tarot-Reading-for-the-Collective-Enthusiasts and Googled-Tarot-And-This-Is-What-I-Got-First-Time-Explorers: Welcome to an Augusturian adventure that takes us from The Sun to the Knight of Pentacles with a smattering of Wands, a Sword and a Pentacle in between (not a Cup in sight). Slipping away from The Sun towards the King of Wands may have seemed like a bold plan when … Continue reading

Judgment has spoken: Theoretical understanding is no longer of primary importance. Rather, it is our intentions and actions that need our utmost attention. Judgment (referred to as ‘Aeon’ in this deck) wants to make sure that before it lets us go we have understood the importance of keeping our intentions pure and transparent. We have to know how … Continue reading

Strength pulls us close, hugging us tightly, whispering urgently to remind us of our most powerful lessons to date. She can see the Devil approaching and wants to impart as much knowledge as possible. She knows that soon the Devilish archetype will catch up with us, causing us to forget some of our still-fragile wisdom. … Continue reading
Tarot Reading For The Collective ~ May © 2011 Sarah Barry
Something was laid to rest as we crossed over the divide between April and May. Something that was beautiful in its own way, yet needed to be subdued in the hope that a more vital and necessary configuration would come along. We chose the 10 of Pentacles – that archetypal overflow of creative abundance – … Continue reading
Tarot Reading For The Collective ~ April © 2011 Sarah Barry
The 8 of Swords bids us farewell, pleased that we chose to hang out with her for so long. It’s not often that people realize that that she’s got more to offer than a whole bunch of swords. Steadfast commitment to trusting our instincts is her prime gift, and as we have humbly stumbled around … Continue reading

Page of Cups? Love and contentment? Inspired joy and new beginnings? Don’t make me laugh. We’re too busy with the 5 of Wands for any of that. We’ll get back to the goodies of the Page of Cups later, yet first it seems necessary that we go on a cross-country road trip through strange and … Continue reading
