With her debut EP ‘Night Thinker’ set for release this Friday, and having played her first ever international show in New Zealand last week, Amy Shark is having a busy month - of what we expect to be a very busy year. It follows on from her single ‘Adore’ coming in second on triple j’s Hottest 100 - only beaten by Flume’s ‘Never Be Like You’.
We conducted an Animal Spirit Tarot reading with Amy while she was in New Zealand last week - check out the results below…
CDM: I really love the song, ‘Home’, that you performed in your set last night.
AMY SHARK: That song’s been taking me by surprise - that was actually the song I was gonna do with M-Phazes. I’m glad people have been liking it!

Past Self - Raccoon - Earth Element
Raccoon energy is common among artists, and can indicate a skill or talent - often with a particular musical instrument. The shadowy persona can also suggest a worry of self-image, often hidden through a mask.
AMY: That’s pretty crazy, isn’t it? I think it probably could be accurate. The opening sentence, definitely. It’s kind of creepy. I’m a raccoon! <laughs>

Present Self - Mouse - Earth Element
The mouse personality is heavily detail-oriented, often to the extent of being nit-picky or going too far, with a desire for every detail to be ironed out.
AMY: Nah. I think I bogged out on that one... I’m not organised at all. There’s bits and pieces in there that might be right - but all up, maybe not.

Future Self - Golden Egg - Spirit Element
Nestled within the fourth chakra is the Golden Egg, which in order to hatch from within, requires warmth, quiet, and relaxation - perhaps through yoga or meditation.
AMY: I’m an egg! <laughs> My other manager is big on yoga and meditation, so maybe it’s a sign.
