Five Courts Daily | Dragon and Gargoyle

Birch

This is the season of unexpected gifts, try not to look surprised. Examine your enchanted realm and consider what truly brings you joy and satisfaction. Seek more of it, even if it means shifting your daily routine. These changes may lead you to something (or someone) extraordinary. The milk has gone bad, check it before offering it to the fae - they’ll be insulted and that won’t go well.

Rowan

Love is just around the corner, but remember that if something looks too good to be true, it’s probably the fae trying to trap you for eternity. The past is not the place to go looking for answers. If you find some change in the cracks of the sofa, paying it forward will bring greater rewards than putting it in a jar.

Ash

The magic is strong, but your patience is not. Be kind even if someone jumps the queue. It may be a god, or a monster, or maybe just someone who needs to be with someone who is leaving. In any case, give them grace. Later, you’ll tell two versions of the same story, and both will be true. Also, you’re out of tea so pick some up on the way home.

Alder

You will be presented with a career move that will challenge your home life. Keep your priorities in focus, don’t let the pixies distract you, and you may find a new game in life to play. Beware high-energy misdirection. The fae job market is perilous.

Willow

There is change in the air and you may not want to embrace it but look long and hard before deciding. The balance of energy can be maintained if you stay on purpose. Someone you care about may need a shoulder to lean on, let them and do some of your own healing in the process.

Hawthorn

Look for a new person bringing excitement into town. Make sure its the right kind, but don’t listen to the mermaid gossip. You could explore new options or stay the same but shake it up to avoid boredom. Stay curious, but don’t be afraid to change your mind.

Oak

It’s time to let your heart heal. The drama is in the past and you can create a beautiful future, just steer clear of minotaurs and centaurs, both can be troublesome. Someone from the past may help you reflect and protect your beliefs. Keep them close and vanquish your enemies.

Holly

Adventure finds you even if you hide so wear comfortable shoes. Extra effort with younger folk (or magical familiars) pays off handsomely. And chocolate definitely doesn’t solve all problems, but you won’t know if a bar of Wilde Irish Lavender & Rose Dark will banish your current predicament until you try.

Hazel

Your creativity will spur on a new development, once you decide, jump in with both feet and make the best of the direction you have chosen. You will be recognized for your magic but don’t take criticism personally, move past and prosper.

Vine

Work gets extra stressful, so make time for yourself - self-care waits for no man or mermaid. You’ll find another layer in an old friendship if you take the time to look closely, and remember even the smallest enchantments have worth. The answer to frustration is have a pint, tell a joke about the rain, and everything will sort itself.

Ivy

Make sure the vampires don’t drain your health. You’ll need it for the list of things you’re tackling. Keep your head looking forward, maintain your friends and their stability. If you pay attention, you may find the love you’ve been seeking. Trust what you know and don’t forget to smell the flowers in the countryside.

Reed

Be careful on your routine traveling - even walks. Now is not the time to trip over something unnoticed. You’ll be tempted to start an argument; make sure it’s worth the story later. An opportunity to take on extra work will present itself, and managing it correctly could bring extra gold the end of the rainbow.

Elder

Choices are presented, consider them carefully. “Push Don’t Pull”, “Stay Off Grass” and “No Parking” are not suggestions, they’re routes to infinite futures. One action allows you to remember an important thing, the other will open a door that was closed before. Ignore the sheep, they only lead to trouble.
