The card you’ve chosen to represent the change you want to bring about.

Bubble Your Boundaries and Heart – Someone from your past has re-entered your life in a time when they are in great need. Unfortunately you don’t have the energy or space in your life to fill that need for them at this time. They have latched on in an extremely codependent manner, and you need to make sure that even as you provide compassion for their situation, you keep your boundaries firmly in place so that you do not become overwhelmed.

The most likely outcome if you make this change.

Unfurl the Wings of Forgiveness and Leaf – They will forgive and seek that additional help elsewhere. Don’t let them make you to believe that there are not other people in their life that can provide support for them.

What boundaries do I need to set during this change?

Have Tea With the Birds and Question Mark – Keep things superficial no matter how hard they try to drag you in deeper, and remember that a little attention can go a long way if it’s the right form of attention given. You don’t have to give them what they want you to give. You can gain good results with low effort.

What do I need to let go of to move forward?

Learn From the Bees and Apple – Not everything has to be fully dependent on you and rest upon your shoulders alone. Allow others in their life to give their support as well. They might be trying to put it all on your shoulders, but that doesn’t mean it can’t be diversified if you keep your boundaries firm.

What do I need to remember during this change?

Turn Your Back and X Shape – Stay vigilant, and make sure you are saying no when you need to. Don’t allow those who would try to ignore your refusals any wiggle room.

Where do I need to be careful? Continue with caution around this.

Lean Into the Storm and Fox – Take care not to get too invested. This person is wily and looking for ways into your “henhouse” of emotions and attention. If you lean in too far, you’ll have a hard time pulling back. Stay vigilant instead.

What/who is my ally?

Fly With the Dreamer and Ear – Look to those who are eager to listen to and support your own wishes and dreams instead of merely seeking you out to help fulfill theirs.

New Moon advice from the Minoan Goddess Amalthea.

Go Dark and Kite – Remember that sometimes the only way to enforce your boundaries is to step back. You can send up a signal that you are still supporting them and still care, without investing yourself and staying out of the picture when you need to.

New Moon Solar Eclipse Oracle Reading with The Naked Truth Oracle

Space – What parts of my life should I be prepared to re-assess and shift during this eclipse cycle?

Retreat – You just did a reading earlier about how you have been using your alone time in unhealthy ways lately. This card indicates that you need to take that advice to heart, and look at how you are retreating and why, rather than letting yourself do so in thoughtlessly unhelpful and unhealthy ways.

Lunar Gift – What is emerging from within me that will challenge my sense of who I am?

Impede – If you are open to listening, you can learn more about yourself during this time. These transformative informational things about yourself can help you become a better person, and more aware of yourself and your surroundings, as well as how you influence others and the world.

Growth – How will this help me grow over the next six months?

Haughty – It can help you in learning how to react in less ego driven ways to the world around you. Allowing you to listen more, understand more, and cram your foot in your mouth less.

Understanding – Why is now the right time for this particular emergence?

Dispute – It can help you in being prepared for future upcoming conflicts. By resolving these issues now and becoming more self aware, you can head off “fight or flight” responses that might otherwise emerge in the moment later on.

Care – How can I best support myself when things get uncomfortable?

Break Out – Remember that you are not trapped. You have choices, and by thinking outside the box, you have more choices yet.

New Moon advice from the Minoan Goddess Amalthea.

Wary – Pay attention to your surroundings and watch for the snake in the grass. They are about to strike, but you can circumvent their efforts and plans by staying alert and aware.

New Moon in Aries Tarot Reading with the Tarot Cars Deck

Clearing: What dreamy depths have I plumbed for long enough?

Seven of Wands Rx – It’s time to step away from that “top space” you have been residing in for quite some time now in your relationship and in the play. Release control and let yourself “be small” again.

Transitional Pause: What vague abstractions of the past are kindling for this new moon?

Five of Pentacles – Remember that you are not as bad off as you feel like you are. That negative inner narrative in your head will always make it seem worse than it is. Don’t forget how aggressive that inner narrative can be in trying to get it’s own world view across and don’t allow it’s unhealthy tendencies to drag you under.

New Seeds: How can I direct this energy with headstrong certainty?

Ten of Pentacles – Stay on task with your goals and don’t get distracted. Keep yourself grounded through the storm with the knowledge that what you are seeking to accomplish is indeed better, but will take it time to grow and build into.

Light In the Darkness: When is frustration a cue for sacred rage rising?

The Hanged Man – There are some perspectives that you are just not meant to see or understand, no matter how hard you try.

Planetary Boon: What physical activity will help me keep my fires burning all season long?

Six of Cups – Revisit some of the places that you have been before, and reestablish your affection for them. Sometimes returning to what you’ve already done in the past can kindle new fire.

New Moon advice from the Minoan Goddess Amalthea.

The Magician – You’ve got this. There’s nothing you can’t handle with a little bit of ingenuity.

🌑 New Moon in Aries – March 2022

On Monday 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 about the medicine within, and brought to you by Ethony‘s Tarot by the Moon series.

Faery Temple Oracle

The card you’ve chosen to represent the change you want to bring about.

Rebirth – I want to rise out of the darkness of depression’s pit into the light and feel renewed again. It’s time to make the climb, and I’m trying, but it feels like it’s taking forever and that I’m not getting anywhere. I know that I am, in fact, getting there… I just long to feel that renewal of perspective, awareness, and joyous enjoyment that I know is coming. I wish I could just do it… experience it through will alone, but it is something that must unfurl at its own pace.

The most likely outcome if you make this change.

Shine – A return to self and boost of energy that will allow you to shine brightly for a time. Light and energy in free flow allowing your creative self to spark to shimmer and shine brightly.

What boundaries do I need to set during this change?

Revel – Make sure you are enjoying it, and not bogging yourself down or taking it for granted.

Just as you see the minute details of the forest and take pictures of them to share with the world while others tread the path and see nothing but “trees”, so too do you need to look at life and not allow negativity to influence you from missing out on the small treasures and other good stuff.

What do I need to let go of to move forward?

Flight – Fear. Don’t curl up and hide away, protecting yourself from those things that you fear. Instead, let go of your fear so that you can move forward beyond it and discover, in having done so, that what you feared was not that big of a deal after all.

What do I need to remember during this change?

Consequence – What you focus on is what manifests into reality. If you focus on the bad stuff, it’s the bad stuff that comes true. So make sure that you’re focusing on the good stuff. This way you are getting what you want out of the experience, instead of what you don’t want to come to pass manifesting as a consequence of where your focus lies.

Where do I need to be careful? Continue with caution around this.

Resilience – Don’t forget that at the moment you are the one that needs support. You are so open and willing to support others in so many different ways, but your energy is not boundless. Make sure you are saving some of that energy for yourself right now. You’ll survive the transition either way, but it’ll be a far more pleasant experience if you have more a bit more energy and give yourself a bit more slack for the time being.

What/who is my ally?

Pleasure atop Authenticity – Your allies at this time (and always, for that matter) are those that enjoy spending time with you and accept you exactly for who you are, quirks and flaws included. You may have a hard time believing this is true, but they are out there and they love you… just as you are.

New Moon advice from the Minoan Goddess Amalthea.

Make a Wish – It’s time to get back into doing your daily devotional to connect with the energies and elements that you want to keep as a part of your practice. This has been neglected for too long. And, you should begin including Amalthea in this daily ritual.
