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. Todayβs spread is courtesy of @lionharts
The Invite: What new possibility is asking for my curiosity and attention
Deception / VΓ€inΓ€mΓΆinen – Manipulation is playing a role in your decision-making process right now. Consider where you are taking what someone says at face value in good faith, and consider digging deeper instead of simply going off of what they say.
Considered that there’s more to the story, and take time to suss out what you’re missing rather than acting immediately, even if they are presenting the opportunity before you as a “limited time offer”.
This Cycle: What am I ready to explore more openly with this moon cycle?
Integrity / BΓ‘i SΓΉzhΔn atop Spite / Louhi – Recently, you had a discussion with Gideon about how your moral compass can waiver on the topic of omission and duplicity, depending on the situation at hand. For example, if you are being forced into something against your will, omission and dishonesty may no longer be considered “wrong” to your moral compass.
These fluctuations in your moral compass are something that is ripe for deeper exploration in a search for greater understanding of your personal mores, values, and ethics during this new moon cycle.
The Current: What energy is asking to move, or express itself through me?
The Apocalypse – Allow yourself to be carried away with the current as energy flows and changes the world around you. There is no use in digging in your heels and trying to stay stagnant or stationary. Instead, seek to go with the flow and see where the riptide eventually washes you back ashore. Stop resisting in the name of a stability that isn’t going to work for you in the future anyway.
Unfolding: What wants to unfold in my life over the coming weeks?
Gluttont Rx / Ko’ona – Pay attention to where you are attempting to give too much of yourself over the next few weeks. Remember that it is not selfish to enforce your boundaries when others try to take advantage of your giving nature, even if it feels like you’re being selfish in doing so.
New Moon advice from the Minoan Goddess Amalthea.
The Sacred Sword – Stay true to yourself above all else. It’s very easy for manipulations and deception to slip in and begin to wear away at your clarity. By checking in with your inner knowledge and inner self, you allow yourself to cut through these deceptions and see what really lies beneath.
