Hello, and Happy Imbloc!
Hello there,
I’m so delighted to connect with you this week as we celebrate Imbolc (pronounced im-olk), one of the eight sacred festivals in the Wheel of the Year. A warm welcome to all our new readers joining the community. This week, we come together under the Wednesday New Moon to honour the Life-force as the first stirrings of Spring emerge. Here in the UK, the days are growing lighter, and the promise of Spring Equinox, just six weeks away, fills the air with hope.
In this newsletter, we’ll explore the Tarot Horoscope for the month ahead, where an abundance of major arcana cards suggests positive change for those drawn here today. In Dear Joy, I respond to a heartfelt query about curses, offering reassurance and practical guidance. Even in dark times, when the weight of life feels overwhelming, it’s a gift to reach out and take the first steps towards the light.
Your Fotune Told, Tarot Horiscopes, & your month ahead unfolding.
This is the time I tune into your energy and draw a tarot card with you in mind. Please note, this is not an in-depth personal reading, but remember, it’s no coincidence that you’ve chosen to be here today. If your Sun sign doesn’t completely resonate, I encourage you to explore your rising and moon signs as well. Your birth chart is unique to you and may be balanced across the elements or influenced strongly by one zodiac element this month. Please take the time to meditate on your cards this month. I have clients that resonate with them as their shadow side and some even recognise the character from their own life in them. This reading unfolds over the course of the following month from print, with a special spotlight on Aquarius as we celebrate your birthdays. I’m so surprised again this month that out of 12 cards 4 of them are major arcana, by the law of averages it should only be 2, as my readers manifest this is only good news and means your efforts are more than paying off.

Aquarius: January 20 – February 18
Queen of Pentacles
Aquarius, the Queen of Pentacles highlights your ability to nurture both your material and emotional worlds. This card invites you to balance your independence with your softer, caring side, reminding you that prosperity flows when you care for both yourself and others. Financial and emotional security are within reach this month if you channel your energy into creating harmony between your practical responsibilities and your dreams. Use this time to manifest abundance through gratitude and connection to the natural world. As your birthday month unfolds, lean into your grounded side to make thoughtful choices that align with your aspirations. Remember, you hold the power to cultivate the life you desire. Celebrate your accomplishments, however big or small, and let this be the foundation for more. Trust in your inner wisdom and continue building upon the abundance you’ve already begun to create.
Pisces: February 19 – March 20
Eight of Cups
Pisces, the Eight of Cups encourages you to walk away from what no longer serves your highest good. This may be a physical situation, emotional tie, or even a mindset that’s been holding you back.

Dear Joy: Your Personal Questions Answered
On my Etsy shop JoyWellnessWitch my practice is open to the whole world. I'm very grateful to the openness and connection I have with my clients. Each week I'll be sharing someone's energetic queries and my intuitive advice.

- Dear Joy
Question:
Joy, I’m so worried that I have a hex on me, i’m constantly having bad luck, it's really bad with my relationships and money again atm, seems every time i think i’m making progress something goes wrong its really getting me down now please can you help.
- Edd (Holland)
My Response:
Dear Edd,
Thank you for reaching out to me Edd, I’m certain i can help you out, please share a very recent photo of yourself, and your location, with your permission i will tune in and read your aura to get a clearer picture of what's going on for you.
If it is a Hex I will be happy to remove it for you, there are a few things that can come up “evil eye” this tends to be a teenager or woman issue, but does happen to men too sometimes, worst case scenario it could be a ‘binding’ spell but usually its negative energy, meaning energetic matter where it doesn't serve us. It's usually negative energy, and I use this phrase cautiously, all energy has a time and a place, like grief. But when energy lingers or we pick it up from other people or places it's often better to cleanse it by moving it on from your aura and home. There's no need to worry, there's always something that can be done and a lot you can do to clear your energy yourself. As you bathe or shower, imagine washing it away, when you're out in nature, brush yourself off about a foot from your body and plant it in the ground (if you feel self conscious you can do this inside) or let a cloud in the sky take it from you. Clean your home, bless some water and sprinkle it about, smudge your home or pray in every direction or by every doorway, dance, but needless to say you have found the right witch, and are in good hands now, I will walk alongside you until you are in a better place now.
Blessings,
Joy x
