πŸŒ• Full Moon and Lunar Eclipse in Taurus – October 2023

Tomorrow is the full moon and lunar eclipse, 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 brought to you by Apollo Tarot.

Full Moon In Taurus Eclipse Reading with the Zammer Twin's Oracle

What should I know about my financial life?

The Count – Just because it’s a long road doesn’t mean that you won’t get there. Perseverance is important. You’ve stood strong through a variety of difficulties and you’ll manage to get through this one too. Your tenacity is legendary, after all.

What should I know about my emotional life?

Ouroboros – Your emotions feed off of each other, and off what comes from the mind. If you want to have healthier and happier emotions, you need to make a conscious effort to give your emotions a better diet to eat off of.

How do my feelings relate to the material situation in my life?

Deliverance – You feel most emotionally secure when your finances are stable and material needs are met. When you don’t feel those needs are being met, you suddenly begin feeling like the entire world is falling apart and your most vulnerable parts are showing.

What is it that I do not see that could bring about change in my life?

The Mermaid – You’re going to be given the opportunity to move outside of your comfort zone. Don’t dismiss it out of hand, as it has the potential to introduce you to much beyond your ken.

How can I best prepare for possible changes in my life?

Redemption Rx – Face your truths instead of hiding from them because they are something that you don’t want to know, hear, or see. Turning a blind eye will only allow changes to sneak up on you instead of being prepared for them.

What negative aspects of myself need healing?

Purgation – Β That part of yourself that feels the need to punish yourself all the time and create self-destructive situations is in need of some healing. Regardless of your intentions, these behaviors do not purge you of those parts of yourself that need to be let go.

Full Moon advice from the Minoan Goddess Amalthea.

Homunculus – It’s okay to have a little time to yourself right now, as long as you don’t let it get out of hand and become a problem.

Tarotholics Challenge Reading with the Cartes de Visite and Nellie's Deck

What do you need to focus on for self-care for the upcoming full moon?

Roots – “Hiding behind the moldy stones ~ While down below lie rotting bones.” – Work on shoring up your foundations. Covid stole a good deal of your stability. Don’t try jumping ahead too soon. Take time to rest and gain back your stability.

Samhain: As the last harvest approaches, what needs to be discarded from your life?

The Chariot – “Death waits patiently in the corner of life.” – Don’t worry about “seizing the reigns” right now. You won’t be able to take time for resting and regrouping for much longer. Savor it while you can before things get too hectic.

Harvest: What gifts of the season are ready for harvest in your life?

The Star – “Driving leisurely down the road to hell.” – You’re allowed to feel secure and hopeful for the holiday rush while not panicking this year because you have set yourself up to succeed.

Weekly Creativity Prompt – The Moon

Prompt: β€œPull the Moon 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

The Moon in the Modern Love TarotModern Love Tarot – Eyes closed and hands over heart, the figure in this card is focused on within as the moon shines bright and the wolf howls. In nature, hearing the sound of a wolf’s how can cause fissures of fear and anxiety… or in some it creates a stirring of the wild energy within. There is no such thing as adventure without the niggling of fear to make things exciting. Where are you playing things too safe?Β  Where can you step outside your comfort zone?

The Moon Card in the Tarot of the Spirit, Silver Acorn Tarot, and Umbral Embers Tarot

Tarot of the Spirit – The man in the moon listens with eyes closed as wolves serenade the night.Β  There’s no domesticity in this card and no contrast for the wild hunt depicted here.Β  What fears are you letting run rampant in your life right now?Β  Where are they calling all the shots?

Silver Acorn Tarot – The Owl and the Hare are having a grand party by moonlight while the tortoise looks on from the water. Like the traditional Moon card, this card depicts two halves of a coin.Β  The wild side that dances in the moonlight and the staid and domesticated side that watches on from a place of stability.Β  This card encourages us to look at which direction we are more likely to lean and examine why that is.

Umbral Embers Tarot – Right, so… I have trypophobia, which means that tie imagery in this particular card causes me a bit of discomfort. It’s right there on the cusp of being shudder-worthy for me, but not yet there. My reaction and discomfort fit the Moon card, and bring to the forefront that aspect of the card’s meaning.Β Β  Drawing out the trepidation and sense of unknown that can cause us to feel uncertain and fearful.

Tarotholics Challenge Reading with the Tarot of the Vampires and Dark Magick Oracle

Spellwork: What needs manifested in your life right now?

Five of Wands Rx and Empower – Allow others their voice. You don’t have to agree, but be open to hearing them out. You are too wrapped up in your own perspectives right now, and it is shutting down others as a result. When you empower others to speak, you empower yourself.

Poltergeist: What needs to be banished from your life?

Five of Pentacles and Bats – The more you listen to those negative inner narratives, the further down the rabbit hole you will go with your mental health issues. This is especially true when it comes to themes that have to do with scarcity, for you are never as bad off as your mind wants you to believe that you are.

Halloween Lenoracle Mini Deck

Buried Alive: What in the past needs dug up and dealt with?

Scythe, Treasure, Moon – He hurt you. It’s good that he’s in jail. Face your emotional turmoil and fears to make sure he stays there. The time to go in and speak to the panel is coming, including the humiliating experience of sharing all that happened… in a great deal of detail with a great deal of emotion. You can’t skip it, because if you do and he’s let out, you’ll have to deal with that anxiety a lot longer than just for a few days.

Gravestone: What is a part of yourself that needs to be revisited?

Zoom, Trick or Treat, Bear – Bring forth your protective instincts for those you care about during this Halloween season. You have had a lot of warnings about not going places along, being careful of strangers, and not hiking at night over the last couple of weeks.Β  You aren’t the only one at risk, though, so make sure you are watching out for others as well.
