ISSUE 003

Ciao all,

Welcome back to XXIV VII. March Issue. March forward. Still feels like winter because the astrological year starts in April (really) with Aries. It’s okay, march forward. The sun shine is about to burst.

For many this is a time to celebrate past invested hard efforts. Trust it will be paying off. Trust. There is a new beginning, a new future. New friends, a move away from toxic patterns and behaviours/people/habits. The cards clarify this. Clean up your act, your desk, your attitude, it’s Spring.

Push forward. Write it down: ‘I can do this. I am worthy. I am loved. I release fears. I set forth on a wonderful new adventure. I deserve to shine and for others to see my splendour. Big Time.’

And so it is.

Aho.

Enjoy

With love and gratitude,

Cristallina

Tone of the month/s:

March = VII Pentacles. It’s been a month working and waiting real hard for your investment to pay off hasnt it? well it will. Patience required. You’ve planted big seeds. Now wait for them to bloom. I predict the summer you will see Big Fruits. If you have Capricorn, Virgo or Taurus predominantly in your astro natal chart, expect BIG RETURNS. TRUST and KNOW THIS IS YOU overthing it! you work really hard. Now let it flow. Learn from a water sign.

April= The Emperor. What an amazing card to pull for April the Emperor himself turns up. He is the Ultimate Man, the one you can confide in, marry, work with, boss up with, build with. Mega profits assured. He’ll make you work but he trusts you, though he seems guarded. Wow.
