Full Moon in Taurus Tarot Reading with The Lantern of the Sage Tarot

Where in your life needs sealing; the cracks where energy and warmth escape?

Knight of Swords – You often worry about speaking up too quickly, or sharing your opinions and then having to shove your foot in your mouth after. Past experience has told you that to move quickly with what you want to say means that you may end up backtracking instead of moving forward. Your lack of confidence in this area is depleting to your energy, and takes up too much of your time and concern.

What simple acts of maintenance could make your days gentler?

Five of Discs Rx – You spend a lot of time worrying about what you don’t have and need to do rather than just reaching out and asking for help. You would do better to ask for help regularly (even when you possibly don’t think you need it), which would allow you the space to be kinder to yourself and help establish a practice of letting others contribute rather than taking it all on your own shoulders.

Where have you mistaken constant effort for care, when true care might be rest?

Two of Batons – You don’t have to have everything planned out. It’s okay sometimes to just wing it.

What are you ready to protect, to keep safe through the wintering ahead?

Ten of Batons Rx atop The Magician – Protect yourself from burn out. Every year, the winter months are a struggle of overwhelmed and encroaching burnout as you work your way through the holiday rush. This year, with everything in the business much slower, you have the opportunity to treat yourself better and avoid the ugly repercussions of a more chaotic holiday season.

Full Moon advice from the Minoan Goddess Amalthea.

Six of Batons – Work on being more self-aware when you are people pleasing, and why.

Goat Figurine as Sympathetic Representation of Amalthea
Foraged Purple Heather Sprigs for Independence and Luck
Black Spruce Needles to Boost Self-Confidence and Positive Thinking

What habit have I been stuck in that I am being asked to liberate myself from?

The High Priestess and King of Pentacles – Keeping secrets behooves no one. Being more open and getting things out there allows for a more solid foundation to take root. Just like the trees talking to each other and sharing the resources benefits all involved.

Where can I find true comfort for these chaotic times?

The Lovers – Connecting with those closest to you gives you the strength and comfort to keep going when things around you become chaotic. The love you share creates a contract of support between you, making them a healthy choice to reach for even when you aren’t in need, let alone when you are.

Where might I invest in something outside of my usual comfort zone?

Nine of Pentacles atop Knight of Cups – Instead of only acknowledging your own accomplishments, be proactive in reaching out to others to celebrate theirs as well. You don’t come off as condescending in these moments when you compliment others, even when you worry that it will be taken that way.

Full Moon advice from the Minoan Goddess Amalthea.

Ten of Wands – Take care not to overwhelm yourself any more than absolutely necessary.

Other elements included in this reading:
Foraged Pin Oak Leaf for Strength and Endurance
Conch Shell Knot for Concentration and Clarity
Carnelian for Gentle Kindness to Self and Others
Picture Jasper for Sense of Proportion and Grounding
Selenite for Purification and drawing in Positive Energy

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 –  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.

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

What does my body require right now?

Nine of Water – It’s time to smell the roses and appreciate the good things in life.  You don’t have a lot of time left for that before the holiday rush starts, and you’re left struggling under the weight of the work that the season brings.  Enjoy it while you can.

Where in my life do I need to be more gentle and/or joyful?

Seven of Fire – You need to try being a bit more gentle and/or joyful when standing strong for your values and principles. It does not always need to be a battle. Instead, simply allow your moral compass shine a light that others cannot extinguish.

Where do I need to stand my ground?

Nine of Fire – Your boundaries are important. Not just those you set for others, but those that you set for yourself as well. Do not let complacency or convenience tempt you into giving ground in these areas.

What illusions do I need to unveil?

The Fool – Stop allowing your inner narrative to tell you a bit of fun and frivolity is something to be ashamed of. Contrary to what the echoes of your past try to tell you, it’s okay to cut loose now and then… and not feel guilt about it during or after.

What long-term project do I need to start?

Seven of Cups – No. At this time it is imperative that you cut back on options and distractions. Not add more.  You already have more than enough on your plate at the moment.

Full Moon advice from the Minoan Goddess Amalthea.

The Star – There is always hope. Lean into it and allow it to light the way.

Coming up on Friday is the Full Moon! I’m a bit early, but 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 being rooted in prosperity, and brought to you by Sharron Basanti of Seeds of Shakti.

The Edvard Munch Tarot

1. What self-imposed beliefs connected to money do I need to release?

Page of Swords / Traumatized Child – You need to let go of the idea of that money is the key to everything. Although you acknowledge this intellectually and readily accept there is more to life than money, you still focus on monetary gain as if it is. It’s time to begin letting go of this mentality and allow yourself to learn to act in accordance with what you believe, instead of what you’ve been taught.

2. How can I use the energy of the Taurus Full Moon to break unhealthy patterns that are blocking my flow of prosperity?

Strength / Wound – Acknowledge the pains from the past, and absorb their lessons instead of allowing the wounds to sit on the surface and dictate your behavior. You do not gain additional strength by letting these wounds remain open or allowing them to fester, but you can gain strength by helping yourself to heal instead.

3. As an earth sign, what can Taurus teach me about creating a safety nest of abundance for a rainy day?

The Fool / Beginning – You are already far too rooted in this idea, and you need to loosen up. That said, banging on again and again at old methods will not produce new results, just more of the same. Sometimes, for growth and expansion beyond your current limitations, you have to break out of old habits and try something new.

4. How can I root myself to the magick of the Earth to draw in prosperity?

Seven of Pentacles / Longing – Patience. Prosperity grows over time and it’s not immediate, therefore expecting immediate gratification only leads to feelings of failure and self-flagellation.

5. Message from the Ancestors.

Knight of Cups / Connection – Do not forget that you have others in your life (both physically and spiritually) that are willing to support you in not just your day-to-day work, but also your happiness.

Full Moon in Taurus - Hephoe Tapo

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 brought to you by Ethony‘s Tarot By the Moon series.

1. What does my body require right now?

Knight of Swords atop Ace of Swords – Slow down and think things through. I need to make better choices concerning my body and what it needs.  That includes getting more time outside in the woods, but also making sure I’m eating better.  Less junk and more healthy goodness, instead of reaching for whatever is in reach and easy.

2a. Where in my life do I need to be gentler?

Two of Pentacles – I need to stop putting so much pressure on myself to juggle everything. I did such a good job through the spring and summer at balancing things better, but with the approach of the holiday rush and the stress that is slowly building up… I’ve sort of dropped the ball.

2b. Where in my life do I need to be more joyful?

Page of Pentacles – It’s okay to enjoy yourself and have some fun while you work at adapting to the upswing in sales and added responsibility.   Don’t get so focused on sales that you forget to have some fun with the creative side of things, or forget about how your creations are meant to bring joy to others.

3. Where do I need to take immediate action?

Ace of Pentacles – Get your shit together. Opportunities are on the rise and you need to make sure you’re ready to catch hold and run with it when they drop in your lap. You have a choice to make.  You can either grab hold of the ball and run with it, ensuring a good financial boon for the holiday season.  Or you can drop the ball and pay the consequences when the money doesn’t roll in as you are used to it doing during this time of year.

4. What is ripe for harvesting?

The Sun atop Knight of Pentacles Rx – Instill fun into your work now.  Right now. This isn’t something you have to take at a slow pace like so many other things along your path.  This is something you can do right this moment.  Added bonus? It’ll help in stirring up your motivation and enthusiasm.

5. What long term project to I need to start?

Ten of Pentacles atop Seven of Pentacles – All that wonderful security and stability that I crave so much takes time to accomplish.  The reinforcement of just how ‘long term’ this goal is has been reinforced by the Seven of Pentacles indicating that the end of the journey is not in the foreseeable future but something I will have to put years and years of time and effort into yet.   That doesn’t mean that you procrastinate and do it later, but rather that much like an hourglass, you have to do it one grain of sand at a time.
