πŸŒ• Full Moon in Capricorn – June 2024

Today is the full 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 lightningwildflower.

Full Moon in Capricorn Oracle Reading with the Feral Forager Oracle

What is the most beneficial quality I’ve developed this year?

Bonds – You are allowing yourself to be open to more people rather than shutting out everyone that’s not a part of your inner circle. At the same time, you are learning how to preserve the secrets that matter to you (as opposed to just hiding everything including yourself).

What structures do I need to put in place to reach my goals?

Reverence – Remember that there is an element of sacredness in every thing and each action. Use this knowledge to instill more reverence into the everyday.

How can I balance my emotional needs with my responsibilities?

Lamplights – Take care to sprinkle bits of joy along the way in your life’s journey. Not everything has to be so serious all the time. Yes, your goals and responsibilities are a beacon in the night that guides you, but those small bits of joy are the fireflies instilling wonder and whimsy into the mix.

What will help me overcome obstacles in the coming months?

Wandering – Don’t forget that no matter where you are upon your journey, you are not alone. There are others there that will help you along the way and even help to guide you on in the right direction when you are feeling lost.

Full Moon advice from the Minoan Goddess Amalthea.

Tutor and Together – Don’t forget that life is a journey that we travel upon (and learn from) together. The tutor is also always a student, and it’s through our interconnectedness with each other that we grow.

Summer Solstice 2024 – Midsummer

Today is the Summer Solstice, which is the longest day of the year and one of the eight holidays that I celebrate throughout the year. This day marks the ‘official’ transition into summer and a shift from days that become longer and longer through the spring into days from here on out will grow shorter and shorter for the next six months.

flower

This holiday is often called Midsummer or Litha, although I usually just refer to it as the Summer Solstice. On my path, it celebrates the turning point of summer, where the build-up of creative energy from the spring crests into a time of abundance as we travel into the depths of summer in much the same way that the growing energies of the full moon crest before beginning to wane each month.

Summer Solstice Oracle Reading with the Seasons of the Witch Litha Oracle

Horse / Courage – What can I do to build up my courage to live life with more honesty and integrity?

Fruit Wine – Celebrate and take pride in yourself, but also take time to listen to others opinions of you instead of hiding from them or shrugging them off. Those opinions are far more complimentary than you think, and far more genuine than the negative narrative whispering lies in your head would like you to believe.

Daisy / Innocence – How can I insert more innocence and purity into how I view the world?

Sun Salutation – Focus on your physical needs. Get out in nature. Do your meditation. Give yourself the space to breathe deeply.

Lapis Lazuli / Self-Awareness – How can I be more honest with myself about my good and bad traits?

Mermaid – Listen instead of assuming. Don’t be so eager to drown out the voices of others or ignore what they have to say. This also echoes back to the previous card in the Daisy position and being open to compliments.

Citrine / Self-Expression – In what ways can I work at expressing my creativity more?

Lightworker – Don’t nay-say your skills and abilities, nor those things you create with them. Your creations aren’t just beautiful, but often breathtaking. Compliment yourself more instead of looking at perfection (or as close as you can get to it) and saying “it’ll do”.

Snake / Creativity – How can I use creativity to help foster fresh energies and a sense of rebirth?

Sunset Dinner – Step outside your comfort zone in gentle ways. You don’t have to push yourself off a cliff to explore new ideas and experiences. It’s okay to take a more gentle approach.

Heather / Good Luck – How can I invite more good luck into my day to day life?

Paper Boats – There are always going to be things in life that will set you off kilter. Instead of letting them drag you under and capsize your efforts, the experience, or your mood; roll with the waves and keep going.

🎨 Weekly Creativity Prompt – Knight of Cups

Prompt: β€œPull the Knight of Cups card from your deck(s). Compare the imagery between the card provided below and the card(s) from your own deck(s). How would you read them differently and why?β€œ

Lo Scarabeo Tarot - Knight of CupsLo Scarabeo Tarot – In this card we see a man who knows what he wants and is willing to take a chance and use his imagination to its fullest to get whatever that is.Β  There is a vulnerability that comes with wearing one’s heart on their sleeve, and yet? He’s all in… vulnerability and all.

The card encourages thinking outside the box to obtain your heart’s desires, whatever those desires might be.Β  Be willing to be vulnerable in order to reach for those things that will truly make you happy.

Knight of Cups in the Tarot for the Great Outdoors, Mana-Fest Awaken Tarot, and Pot Tarot

Tarot for the Great Outdoors –Β  Too many boats and not enough water! All the weekend warriors had the same brilliant idea and now the waters are too crowded.Β Β  This card is a reminder that sometimes?Β  You can just jump in the car (or boat, as the case may be) and go, no matter how good the idea sounds. Some things in life take a little planning, whether it’s to make sure you get to the end goal or just to make sure avoid the traffic jam on the way there when everyone else has the same idea as you.

Mana-Fest Light-Weave Tarot – Sometimes, curiosity leads the way when it comes to those things that truly make us happy or soothe our souls.Β  Here a knight looks into his cup as if scrying for the future.Β  What does he see?Β  If it were you gazing into the cup at your heart’s desire for the future, what would you see?Β  This card prompts us to pause a moment to take a look at what we really want, and tells us that now is the time to go after those things with passion and intensity.

Pot Tarot – Don’t get distracted on your way to the goal.Β  If you want to wine and dine and romance someone and you take a hit or two at the bong before hand?Β  You’re not going to get to the wining and dining (or the after-dinner delight either).Β  Sometimes we have to put off an immediate pleasure in order to gain something even better in the end.Β  Make sure that this isn’t one of those times for you.

New Moon in Gemini Oracle Reading with the Morning Oracle

What needs you to act quickly?

Chaos – Reign in the chaos before it gets out of control. You have a lot of paperwork to do, a lot of sorting and organizing and accounting crap to get done… and a lot of paper shredding to do as well. It’s time to get on with it. You’re running out of time and the closer you get to your deadlines in this area, the more out of control things are going to feel.

Where might you stop and consider first?

The Vase – Is what’s been broken really worth fixing? Would you be better off starting new? Or, alternately, is it possible you will find more value in what comes out of things if you mend what’s broken and nurse it back to health.Β  Not every broken vase can be fixed, but sometimes a little kintsugi makes what comes from the effort that much more beautiful.

What helps you be more decisive?

The Ladder – Going through the process helps you in keeping your mind and thoughts organized.Β  Having a plan laid out, steps that lead the way forward, checklists and an order to things.Β  All of these help you in being more decisive, because in having things organized in such a way it decreases the amount of chaos that can cause distraction.

New Moon advice from the Minoan Goddess Amalthea.

The Key – You have the tools in your possession to continue moving forward. You’re not starting from scratch at this point, you just need to use the knowledge and tools already at your disposal to make things go in the direction you want them to.

Month End Oracle Reading with the Earth Angels Oracle

Here and Now I Exist – Who you are now, in your entirety.

Mercy – You are in a cross roads between providing care and mercy for others, and providing compassion, forgiveness, and kindness for yourself. You can’t do both, and there are times right now where there is a definitely conflict when trying to choose.Β  Don’t forget that sometimes? You need to come first.Β  You always have more than enough compassion for everyone else, but never give yourself remotely enough.

The Slough – What is to be left in the past as you move forward.

Bringer of Light – Let go of the dishonesty that you have been given, and let go of the resentment that those lies have caused.Β  You know the truth, and can see clearly the nature of those that you thought were above reproach.Β  You know now… which is better than not knowing at all.Β  Take that knowledge and clarity of sight with you moving forward, but leave behind the resentment and lies you were fed.

What Lies Ahead – An ideal state or ideal self you are seeking at this time.

Solitude – Be sure that you are giving yourself the alone time that you need.Β  In order to process, you often need time alone, and forsaking your need for it will only create chaos in your life.Β  Give yourself that peace and solitude that you need to work through your thoughts and feelings at your own pace.

Limitations – Negative influences, opposition, or ill will.

Grounding – Make sure when you do grounding exercises that you aren’t going too far into it.Β  If you’re not careful, it can drag you down into the dark.Β  Even the most healthiest of things can become unhealthy when taken to excess.

The Boon – Positive influences, higher guidance, or divine intervention.

The Herbalist – Lean into and listen to those recommendations that have a holistic bent. Between the new therapy treatment you’re in, the chronic pain, and other medical conditions… sometimes it’s the simplest answers that are the right ones, especially with how sensitive you are to certain medications and treatments.Β  Holistic approaches can often provide you with a more gentle option.

The Wound – An unpleasant past experience or event that is ripe for some support and healing.

Harmony – The betrayals of those that you thought were your friends and gave your trust to stain the friendships you have now with a fear of a repeat experience.Β  It causes distance in your friendships with others, as you struggle to relax and go with the flow.Β  Its time to revisit those betrayals and work on easing those fears that are always there holding you back. (This is about the “pissant” incident.)

Nostalgia – A positive past experience or event to acknowledge, reflect upon, and enjoy.

Summer Solstice – Instead of focusing upon those above mentioned betrayals, take time to focus on the good times and good experiences you’ve had instead.Β  Not everyone you’ve come across was like those you were hurt by in that incident.Β  The pain sticks more easily, but the good times are there too and need to be remembered in order to combat the lingering of bad memories.

A Warning – Something coming that can be prevented or overcome.

Beltane – Spring and early summer is a time of high spirits and high energy. Make sure that as you revel in this energy peak that you don’t over-commit yourself to responsibilities that will later feel too heavy.

Empowerment – A future opportunity to work toward.

Romance – Seize the opportunity while it’s there for the taking to spend extra time with Gideon and give him extra attention. It’s not always possible have that extra time, and right now? You do.Β  Use it to make him feel cherished and strengthen the bond between you.

Message from the Spirit World – Love is all you need.Β  This spring has been a time to reconnect with Gideon.Β  That connection is one of the most naturally healing things in your life, and getting a chance for both of you to wallow in it is healing for you both right now.

Message from the Mind’s World – Sometimes when the truth of something is revealed, you need to take time to yourself to fully process.Β  This time isn’t selfish, but a kindness of compassion that allows you to “absorb the blow” of surprise and process it in your own way and at your own pace.

Message from the Physical World – This summer has the potential to allow you to find a connection with your body that is more copacetic and in harmony than it has been for a while.Β  Make sure you are using this time to practice healthy grounding exercises such as meditation and shinrin-yoku.

Full Moon in Sagittarius Oracle Reading with the Inner Child Healing Oracle

How are you being asked to expand your horizons?

Devotion – Instead of sacrificing yourself for the good of others, it’s time to recommit yourself to taking care of yourself and putting yourself first.

What will help you step out of your comfort zone?

Independence – You have become far too ensnared into the habit of waiting for the knowledge of what others need from you rather than focusing on yourself first and prioritizing your own needs.

In what way are you being called to shift your mindset?

Abundance – Work on focusing more on what you do have, rather than on where your feelings of scarcity are settled.

What clarity and wisdom are available to you now?

Leadership – You can’t effectively lead others if you aren’t caring for yourself and your needs. The more you fall into the trap of taking direction from others on what they need, the more you lose sight of your own needs and how to fill them.

Full Moon advice from the Minoan Goddess Amalthea.

Courage – Believe in yourself and take action on these things. Don’t set them on the back burner for later. You’ve got this.
