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 courtesy of @daisydazzleddreams
What is it time to focus on beginning that requires boldness, bravery, and/or visibility?
Dragoyle – In your work to try and revitalize your business and re-create the steady foundation you once had in this area, you have been playing it safe. Now is the time to experiment and explore. You will not discover (or build) that new foundation of stability by tinkering from the sidelines. Lean into thinking outside the box.
How can I more comfortably express my love, joy, and creative passions?
Serpopard – Instead of directing these energies towards strangers or those you only know on a superficial level, direct your love, joy, and creative passions towards those that have been with you the longest, and that you trust as a part of your inner circle. Here is where the most comfort can be found in sharing your vulnerabilities… which is what you sometimes consider these qualities to be.
Which leadership role in my life needs me to step up and stand strong at this time?
Tigerfolk – You are the safeguard of those things and people that are important to you. Stay vigilant about predatory behavior during this lunar cycle, and step forward quickly and decisively in times when it is spotted in others.
How can I best work with and balance the Crown, Solar Plexus and Heart Chakras at this time?
Ravagon – Historically, it is through your connection with nature that you find the peace and balance that you are unable to sustain on your own without this connection. Be proactive in “touching grass” whenever you can and connecting with the life and energy of the forest and its creatures. Your friends among the trees are waiting for you to return to them.
What is needed to assist me in reconnecting with my creative potential?
Grificorn – Enjoy the activities that sunshine and good weather allow you while you can, because you’re going to miss these things later. Summer isn’t your favorite time of year, it’s true, but it is something you miss in the dead of winter. Just as you miss the dead of winter in the middle of the summer. Make sure you are appreciating your time in the present, so that when the cycle turns to more unpleasant things, you will have joyful and positive memories to look back on and encourage you.
New Moon advice from the Minoan Goddess Amalthea.
Peacock Draconis – Make sure that you are pausing for gratitude in your spiritual practice and self-care. In doing so, you allow your self to see the beauty in life that you would otherwise let pass you by.
