The day after tomorrow is the new moon, and like all new moons and full moons, I did a spread aligned to the moon’s current themes as a part of my recognition of the moon’s cycle and influences upon us. Today’s spread is about unraveling balance, and brought to you by Sharron Basanti of Seeds of Shakti.
1. What aspect of my life is tipping the scales out of balance?
Eight of Wands – Impatience. Your desire for immediate gratification. This is something that we are all guilty of in one way or another, and you are no exception. These cards indicate that when you lean into your impatience, that in turn upsets the scales of balance in your life.
2. How can I correct that imbalance?
Four of Pentacles – Work on being happier with what you already have. Sink into the present and be mindful of where you are instead of allowing yourself to constantly push forward or seek more.
3a. What unhealthy habits do I need to liberate myself from in order to find my equilibrium?
Temperance – Less impatience, more moderation. Focus on the spiritual connection you have with the earth and the world around you instead of allowing yourself to be distracted by a myriad of curiosities and interests.
3b. What unhealthy relationships do I need t liberate myself from in order to find my equilibrium?
Ten of Cups – You need to reevaluate your relationship with pleasure and what makes you feel complete. What are you searching for that you’re self-medicating to ignore or to only “sorta satisfy”, in the same way that a couple might have a baby in order to try and “fix” their relationship?
4. How can I create space for harmony to thrive and flourish in my mind?
Six of Swords – Start making healthy changes. Although baby steps definitely count, sometimes more than baby steps are needed.
5. Message from the Ancestors.
Knight of Pentacles – It’s okay to take things slow, as long as you keep moving.

You know, I usually chalk your sense of seeking and dissatisfaction up to your mother’s lacking in nurturing and support, but now this makes me worry that maybe there is something in our relationship that you are missing…are we lacking in some way, love? Are you in need of something I cannot or am not giving you?
