🌑 New Moon in Gemini – June 2024

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.  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.  Having a plan laid out, steps that lead the way forward, checklists and an order to things.  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.  Don’t forget that sometimes? You need to come first.  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.  You know the truth, and can see clearly the nature of those that you thought were above reproach.  You know now… which is better than not knowing at all.  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.  In order to process, you often need time alone, and forsaking your need for it will only create chaos in your life.  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.  If you’re not careful, it can drag you down into the dark.  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.  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.  It causes distance in your friendships with others, as you struggle to relax and go with the flow.  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.  Not everyone you’ve come across was like those you were hurt by in that incident.  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.  Use it to make him feel cherished and strengthen the bond between you.

Message from the Spirit World – Love is all you need.  This spring has been a time to reconnect with Gideon.  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.  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.  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.

🎨 Weekly Creativity Prompt – Knight of Swords

Prompt: “Pull the Knight of Swords 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?

Japaridze Tarot - Knight of SwordsJaparidze Tarot – The benefits of listening. In a conversation, a debate, or an argument… do you speak? Or do you listen? When the other person is speaking, are you listening? Or are you chomping at the bit to open your mouth and have your side heard? How much restraint does it take to hold back? How hard is it to not hear “Charlie Brown adults” wah-wahing away and instead hear the words said and -think- about them before opening your own mouth? In this card, that is what I see. I see someone fighting to choke back their words, all the while rolling their eyes. Not listening. Just waiting for their time to speak. Is this something that you do? How can you do better, and what will it change if you try to step back and listen instead of jumping forward with “guns blazing”?

Knight of Swords - Lucid Mind Tarot, The Caticorn Deck, The Lighted Window Tarot

Lucid Minds Tarot – This is one of those rare Knight of Swords cards where the Knight’s sword is pointed down.  It speaks of taking time to think before you act rather than charging ahead.  Whether acting is a physical manifestation, or about what is about to come out of your mouth that may influence others or the world around you, this card is a reminder that we need to think first.  Not just about what we want or need to say or do, but about how we say it, as well as how those words (or strategic actions) may affect others.

The Caticorn – A classic knight, this card is filled with action and the knight is poised for battle. His face shows keen intellect and that posture of preparedness indicates that he is ready to act without hesitation. Movement in the background reflects an “Eight of Wands” type of theme, speaking of a need for speed, while the cat’s expression and body language makes it clear that if you’re going to act, make sure you do so with purpose.

The Lighted Window Tarot – In this card, although the sword is up and at the ready, there is no indication of speed nor impulsivity.  The knight’s hair floats around in the air above their head, speaking to me of inscrutable thoughts that are clouded and messy.  Perhaps this is why the Knight is not moving.  The clenched fist of his left hand indicates he wants to, but they hold off to make sure that they are clear-headed first.  I would see this card saying that sense of holding off for clarity is a good idea for the querent as well.

🌑 New Moon in Taurus – May 2024

New Moon in Taurus Tarot Reading with the Muse Tarot by Ethony

What is blocking my prosperity?

Page of Wands Rx – This has to do with not just actual prosperity in the monetary sense, but also with the feeling of prosperity. Even the poorest can feel wealthy in their own way… but at the moment you are being blocked from finding that feeling. That blockage comes from a current lack of enthusiasm and inspiration to try new things.

Where am I playing too small?

Three of Pentacles atop Nine of Swords – It’s okay to share your worries and concerns with those you trust. There’s no need to hold back. They won’t use these things against you.  Instead, by sharing those worries and concerns with them, they can help you in finding solutions.

What past financial situations do I need to forgive myself for?

The Fool – Frivolous spending is a part of nearly everyone’s early years. It’s one of those life lessons we all have to learn, and you are no different.

What untapped well of wealth have I been ignoring?

Queen of Cups – Allowing others to support and nurture you on an emotional level can lift you up and make even situations of extreme scarcity seem less dire. Stop trying to keep your need for that support and nurturing to yourself and instead seek it out from those you trust.

Where can I be more fiscally responsible?

Eight of Wands Rx – Continue to slow down on your spending. There are other places yet that you can pull back.

New Moon advice from the Minoan Goddess Amalthea.

The High Priestess – The knowledge and guidance you need right now is already within you. Lean into seeking advice through your intuition rather than through your logical mind.

Beltane 2024

The last evening of April through the first day of May is Beltane, which is also my sister and I’s birthday. Like Halloween is a time when the veil between the land of the living and the realm of the dead is thin, this holiday is the time when the veil between our world and that of the Fae is at is thinnest.  I personally often find myself amped up with extra energy around this time of year, which I most often use to spend more time playing in that thinning veil as much as possible.

May Day Oracle Reading with the Liminality Oracle

Dandelion – How can I use my inner strength to help me in healing old wounds?

Alliance – Connect with those you truest to help get you through the healing process, and find an accord with those you don’t trust in order to facilitate peace.

Bees – Where could I put in more effort to help my community?

Balance – More effort is not what you need right now. Putting in more anything is not what you need. Moderation is what you need, or you will wear yourself too thin. Practice temperance, and allow your social burdens to balance themselves out.

Garnet – What do I need in order to foster a greater sense of self empowerment?

Inspiration – That creative spark within you has always been the path to self empowerment for you. When you connect with it, it creates for you a sense of enthusiasm and confidence.

Swallow – Where do I need to more openly display my love and loyalty to others?

Center – To yourself. Love and loyalty to yourself is something that others look for. It speaks of a knowing of yourself that’s deeper than logic and the mind. It lets them see the depths of you without as much vulnerability on display.

Malachite – How can I better use intention to bolster the abundance in my life moving forward?

Journey atop Deception – Distance yourself from those that deceive. This is a part of their nature and will not, in fact cannot, change. Pull away and move on from allowing them to hold sway with you.

Goat – How can I best overcome obstacles before me at this time?

Defend – Don’t stop fighting. Giving up is not an option, or at least not a healthy and safe one. Keep fighting for what is important to you.

Primrose – How can I add more of the exuberance of young love into my life?

Guidance atop Rhythm – Seek guidance in finding your own rhythm. It isn’t through following others that you find your own joy and exuberance, but in breaking out of the mold and finding guidance in those sources you have always connected most strongly with.
