March 30 – April 5, 2026
Last week we had such a good reading, it left me with some anxiety as I sat down to do this week’s. Today I was thinking, what about last week? What about the parade? What about good stuff with a helping of caution?
I’m not following the finer details of news events so can’t speak to how the reading might have matched up with national or global headlines, but in my own life I had, overall, a week with more productivity than not. It was good. Was it perfect, unclouded? No. But it was good. Not parade-good, but good. Maybe it was simply the extraordinary fact that we had a positive reading, after years dominated by gloom and stagnation, that suggested we throw a parade!
An astrologer I follow got bit in the butt this year because he kept proclaiming this and that date would mark this and that highly publicized event. Then he would go back and tersely post, “I predicted an event on the 17th. It did not happened. This was a failed prediction.”
Dude, I thought. Why are you doing this? How much better for this guy if he’d originally said, “Astrology is not an exact science. This, this, and this are hot days that have an energy to flare from an ember to a blaze, if some kindling is added.”
But we all do our thing the way we want to do it. It’s fun to look at the energetic trends, and the vibrational currents. We have to remember that there is a randomness in the world and forces above our pay grade, and all we are really doing is trying to get our arms around circumstances that are bigger than we are so we’ll feel a bit better about what is ahead.
I am always trying to think of more ways to make my readings relevant, and thought I would see what card on the whole really jumps out at me in these weekly forecasts; and try to put some extra focus on it in hopes of deriving more information, the kind that is useful in any type of week, from the reading. And Lenormand, of course, because I like them and am trying to learn how to use them.
- Wheel of Fortune
- 7 of Cups
- Temperance
- Page of Wands
- Lovers
The most immediately significant thing in this reading is that there are no reversed cards! My gosh. And three Major Arcana cards! We may expect a bolt from the blue, as far as startling happenings that catch us off guard; and the degree to which we are affected is indicated by the 7 of Cups.
Oh, seven! Such a wild trickster of a number; it hits us with a barrage of energies until we don’t know which way is up. And it is in Cups, which means emotions and our feelings may well be, like the Wheel itself, up and down in response.
No wonder Temperance has to come in and try to settle everybody down. Temperance is what allows us to manage upheaval or a dramatic situation; Temperance is the voice of reason that reminds us we should not jump to conclusions or act before we understand all the facts. Temperance makes it okay to not do anything, when that is a better choice than feeling forced to declare ourselves before we’re ready.
Page of Wands? Yes, there is the yapping voice that wants you to sign this petition as you come out of the grocery store, arms loaded, hardly understanding what the petition is for as you’re besieged. I really hope, if you get maneuvered into this scenario, you’ll remember the counsel of Temperance and simply say, “No, thank you.”
The last card is the Lovers, and where did they come from? We don’t get them too often and what a good job they do of propping up Temperance. Temperance shows an angel pouring from one cup to another, the union and balance of the upper and lower realms. Lovers, also, is less about romance and more about pulling our masculine and feminine selves into alignment until they balance.
And what does a wheel do? It rolls and rolls and turns until, slowing, it finds a balance point and stops. If we read the cards from my description, and not the card name, this spread would go: balance, slight hysteria, balance, troublemaker, balance.
Okay. Rather than focusing on one card, I see three Major Arcana cards that can convey the same message, so there is your overriding theme for the week: balance. There is random motion that concludes with balance (Wheel,) a balance between the physical and nonphysical worlds (Temperance,) and creating inner balance within ourselves (Lovers.)
No matter what jiggles us emotionally (7 of Cups) or pokes at us with its own agenda (Page of Wands,) our best course through next week is to be conscious of, and practice in whatever way you find most suitable, what gives us a sense of balance and ease.
The Lenormand cards, when asked to highlight a dominant energy pattern for next week, have this to offer:
- Mice
- Key
- Bear
- Child
- Tower
Look for small, annoying things to get resolved by a novel solution, and a real sense of personal power because of it. This creates confidence and a surge of optimism, which will be formalized into something lasting and solid.
That’s really good, because the energy pattern is moving from stupid little problems into a solid solution that feels uplifting, and gets the stamp of approval.
If we layer this with our Tarot read, we can take from it that the more steady and balanced we hold ourselves, the greater platform we make to support ourselves. Those Tarot cards were all upright, remember? That means the energy is active. Things happen when the cards are upright, and bog down when they are reversed.
I think even the Tarot reading, for all that it bangs away at the message to keep a cool head despite pressure from other sources, is positive. And the Lenormand most certainly is.
Is this a good time to remind you that there is a full moon on Thursday?! It might shake things up, but if we refuse to be pulled into drama, the shaking might land to our benefit.
