When we see the 3 of Swords, the focus is always on the heart that has been subjected to the brutality of separation or betrayal. What very few clients notice is that there is rain falling softly in the background. The element of this card is air, or the intellect, and the swords represent the intellect processing the situation through thought, judgment, and language. But there are times when no words can suffice, and the rain is the emotional release, the grief, sorrow that actually manifests as physical pain in the heart chakra, and the tears that need to flow. Because it is raining, this is not a stagnant emotional situation but a very active process of grieving and catharsis. We have all been there at some stage of our lives. But today, let's focus on the falling rain and the beginning of healing. The 3 of Swords is a new beginning, however, a muted one, as the heart is no longer in the stage where there is doubt. Clarity arrives in a heart-piercing manner, but it is there. Yet, there is a liberation too. Consistent heightened stress can now be addressed, and the healing can begin. We usually know when things are a bit off, and the swords that carry clarity remind us that our empathy is a powerful gift, and one which we do not need to squander on someone who does not value it. The stress of making something work, of feeling that things may not be perfect, the shock of the heartbreak is now exposed. After all, what could feel more exposed than a pierced heart full of sorrow? Now is the time to dive deep into your authenticity, and to know that “no one is worth your tears, and the one who is, won’t ever make you cry this way.” The rain signals a time to rise and reclaim one’s gentleness and authenticity, and leave behind the manipulation that serves no one. The 3 of swords is when cognitive dissonance no longer applies and the emotional avoidance of the 2 of swords is in the past. The pain comes rom understanding, and there is a deep gash in the heart that causes suffering because of knowing. The rain confirms the cost of that awareness, but this is a begining where truth surfaces, which in time will open new worlds. Have a blessed day!!

Life does not always go our way. There are days when we are soaring up to the skies and days when it feels like one is camping in the depths of the Marina Trench, with overwhelming pressure that threatens to crush us. However, it is precisely at those instances that we need to dig deep and find our brave, to hold up our heads and have the tenacity to decide whether this is a battle worth fighting or is this a diversion to something more aligned to us. And we are strong, way stronger than we believe, and tenacious. Each of us has the warrior spirit, and sometimes we just need to dig deep and embrace it and stand our ground.

I used to love food!!

I was even a foodie when I was younger, footloose, fancy-free, and living with my mum. I am a fairly good cook at making a few Thai dishes, and that is it!!

When I got married, I had no choice but to become pious. I'd put everything in the pan and pray that everyone would be okay, that no one would fall sick and so on!! However, even though I have a Saturnian drive for discipline and the need to master the elusive, cooking has been a blight on my horizon. Food has become a sore point.

Over the years, I realised that my Chiron was in the 2nd house, often considered a hidden house, since it governs wealth, self-worth, and personal finances. It is also how we nourish ourselves, and that was an Aha moment. I tried so hard to learn, I used YouTube videos, cooked with the focus and the tools of a chemist, carefully measuring every ingredient, and I was woefully disheartened. I even had cooking classes and yet..Chiron matures with time; it cannot be forced.

So, closer to my Chiron return, things just fell into place. No amount of tinkering can heal the wound; it is only when we have matured and tried everything that we can lead other people out of the woods.

My poor husband almost had a stroke, one evening when the doorbell rang, and 3 teenagers walked in. Their mums, who are all phenomenal cooks, had sent them to me to learn to cook!! My hubby could not wrap his head around the fact that I was going to teach until he heard me calmly tell them, "Let's talk about survival cooking 101!!".....

Chiron’s story begins differently from most myths, and that difference matters. In Greek mythology, Chiron is a centaur — half horse, half human — but unlike the other centaurs, he is not wild, impulsive, or driven by instinct alone. He is gentle, thoughtful, disciplined, and wise. From the very beginning, Chiron does not quite belong. He is born between worlds, carrying both instinct and intelligence, earth and spirit, animal body and human awareness. This sense of being “in between” becomes a central theme of his life.
Chiron’s birth itself carries the imprint of rejection. His mother, a sea nymph named Philyra, is unable to accept his form and abandons him. In some versions of the myth, she is so overwhelmed by shame and grief that she asks to be transformed into a tree. Chiron enters the world already marked by a deep wound — not a physical one at first, but an existential one: the wound of being unwanted, of not being met with love at the moment of arrival. This is not a dramatic betrayal; it is quiet, devastating, and deeply human.
Despite this abandonment, Chiron is taken in by Apollo, the god of light, medicine, music, and knowledge. Under Apollo’s guidance, Chiron learns the arts of healing, prophecy, astronomy, herbal medicine, music, and ethics. He becomes a master teacher, eventually mentoring some of the greatest heroes in Greek mythology — Achilles, Asclepius, Jason, Hercules. Chiron does not seek power or glory. His role is to prepare others for their journeys, to see their potential, and to train them with patience and precision.
This is where the paradox of Chiron begins to take shape. He is extraordinarily skilled at healing others, yet unable to heal himself. His great wound comes later, accidentally inflicted by Hercules, whose poisoned arrow strikes Chiron and causes unbearable pain. Because Chiron is immortal, he cannot die — and because the wound is poisoned, it cannot heal. He is trapped in an endless state of suffering.
What makes this myth so powerful is that Chiron does not respond with bitterness.

When I was 13, I was placed in a girls' boarding home which belonged to the Air Force School, so I had the best of both worlds- a co-ed education and of course a 4-year-long girlie over nights! My roommate for 2 years was an Economics student who was absolutely wild. I was the boring Computer Science student. We would begin chatting, and then, as younger people are sometimes prone to do, gossip!! After all, when you live in a boarding, friends become the family you love, and often you also get roommates who become the relatives you tolerate. Gratefully mine was the former!! We would study late at night, and during breaks, we would somehow end up gossiping, and when I would feel my conscience prickle, she’d quip back, “But, we’re not gossiping, na, we are just having a scholarly exchange of opinion”. Whilst I was quite sure, it was wordplay we would happily go back to our “sharing of information”.

The messages from your guides today is a reminder of how you carry the cosmos within us. It is a call to activate the part of you that carries the archetype of Gemini. After all, our birthchart contains all the archetypes, even if Gemini may not actively host planets, it is still there!! It is a reminder to be like the butterfly and fly from experience to experience. Activate and let loose the part of you that is curious, almost erudite in its pursuit of knowledge and information. Yes!! Gemini does sometimes get a bad rap for being a bit of a gossip, but as my roommate said, that's just increasing the periphery of your vision. Today, think of doing something novel, something new!! Experiment with something new, play with life passing through you, and let go of the seriousness. Have a blessed day!!

The message from the Akashic Records cannot be more poignant. We are all divine, each with our unique gifts. When we live our lives to the fullest, we raise the collective vibration. Studies show that thriving is contagious. When we begin to thrive, our neighbours also feel the boost of up to 60%, according to Dr Parker. What better way to serve the collective than to make a commitment to thriving and to living with joy!! And to go a step further, especially in this season of joy and giving, is to create associations where we bring out the best in ourselves and others so that we can all thrive!! Have a blessed day!!

In a world that is not perfect, we each carry within us magic- after all, that's what we are, magical stardust that came into existence when the universe was created. And we share our space with the whole invisible world. In that world, we have our spirit guides and helpful beings who only need to be reached out to. In Infact, the first check on trauma years in an individual's current life, when we look at the Akashic Records, is to see how many spirit guides a person has and whether any of them were enabling any coping behaviour. The message of the guides for the collective today is one of love. It is a message of hope and of enduring love and support. You are a part of the divine and are supported even when you do not feel so, especially when you feel alone. So today, it's all about love from the universe, guides and loved ones who have crossed over to the other side. Have a blessed day!!
