Capricorn Full Moon Tarot Reading with the Decolonized Tarot

What groundwork do I need to lay for my vision to flourish and succeed?

Knight of Wands – Reconnect with your enthusiasm and allow yourself to get carried away now and then. Immersive creativity is where you truly shine.

What actions do I need to take in order to feel confident about my short-term and long-term goals?

Two of Cups atop Two of Coins – Work at seeking out help from those closest to you to help balance your responsibilities and expectations. Reaching out to them is not a burden on them, and a boon to you.

What boundaries do I need to assert, so that I can restore my personal power and accomplish what I initially set out to do?

Ace of Wands Rx – Remember that you can’t do everything. Just like anything else in life, you have to pick and choose what passions you decide to explore.

What recent success do I need to recognize that I’m oblivious to?

Four of Swords – You are doing better at carving out time to rest. It may not feel like it, but you are.

Full Moon advice from the Minoan Goddess Amalthea.

Ten of Pentacles – Look at how far you have come and who you have brought along with you. You are so fortunate, not just in the security and stability you’ve created, but also in those people you have surrounded yourself with.

New Moon in Gemini Tarot Reading with the Sleepwalker's Tarot

What new idea or perspective do I need to explore?

Seven of Coins – Your hard work is paying off, but not in the ways that you have expected it to. Take a look around and pay attention to what you are really reaping from what you’ve sown. It’s all good stuff, just not what you were anticipating.

How can I improve my communication and self-talk?

Ace of Cups – Connect with your emotions instead of disregarding them. This is a new path for you that you’ve been working on, but you’re straying off course a bit of late. It’s time to re-center yourself (the bird), and make sure that you are not setting emotions aside, but actually dealing with them and communicating them with others when needed (two hands).

What decision do I need to focus on during this new moon?

The Hanged Man – Remember that staying open minded is extremely important, and often has to be a conscious act. It’s not always pleasant, and sometimes it’ll hurt (bruises and bleeding in image), but that doesn’t mean being open to other perspectives is not important or necessary. That pain is part of the growth process, so don’t let it close you off.

How can I better integrate different aspects of myself?

Ten of Cups – Work on connecting more strongly with those things that make you happy. Life isn’t always about responsibility and obligation. Sometimes it’s about doing the things that make you feel good and sharing them with others.

New Moon advice from the Minoan Goddess Amalthea.

Ace of Swords – The other cards in this reading indicate that you may be tempted to shut down and close yourself off from others, either due to disappointment or pain. Work at making sure that you stay open and communicate how you’re feeling. Own your emotions and express them to others clearly so that they can be processed and dealt with.
