New Moon & Solar Eclipse in Taurus Reading with the Curious Travels Tarot

What is blocking my prosperity?

Queen of Swords Rx – Negative inner narratives that beat you down and emasculate you emotionally and physically are blocking your prosperity not just in aspects of monetary wealth, but in the abundance possible in all areas of life. These are echoes from the past that pierced the skin and burrowed deep, and still require more healing.

Where am I playing too small?

Ace of Wands – You should be encouraging that inner spark of creativity and the joy it gives you to set it free. Stop smothering it.

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

Six of Pentacles – Taking help when it is offered is a bruise on the ego, but you need to allow yourself understanding in this area. Those that helped you when you needed it have forgotten all about it, so stop holding it over your own head.

What untapped well of wealth have I been ignoring?

Eight of Pentacles – You’ve spent a very long time honing your skills when it comes to your craft, specifically in the creation of beautiful jewelry. You have the ability to not just make money at this, but to truly enjoy the process as well.

Where can I be more fiscally responsible?

The Star Rx – Self-medicating through spending may make you feel good in the moment when your hope is depleted and you’re feeling down and disconnected, but it creates a bigger problem in the process.

New Moon advice from the Minoan Goddess Amalthea.

The High Priestess Rx – Your connection with your intuition is taking a hit lately while you were going through your depression. It’s time to start reconnecting.

What does my mind need for healing and balance?

King of Pentacles – Stability and security, facilitated by trusted advisors that help you in making sure you foster this in your life both through your physical health as well as through your finances. This provides you with peace of mind and, therefore, then fosters a sense of mental well-being and balance.

The Devil – Awareness. It is through knowing where one’s weaknesses and temptations lie that could become unhealthy that you are able to keep these unhealthy and self-destructive tendencies in check.

What does my soul need for healing and balance?

Six of Cups – Nostalgia. Remember that there is plenty good in your past to celebrate. The bad stuff may be easier to remember, but it’s important to work at remembering the good stuff as well.

What self-care act am I being called to take?

Ace of Wands – Seek out the inner spark of enthusiasm that the depression has caused to dwindle, and as you climb for the lip of the pit, foster that spark of flame so that it will grow. Be gentle with yourself, for that spark is currently tender and delicate.

What is my major lesson right now?

Three of Pentacles – You are not alone. There are many in your life willing and eager to lend a hand and join forces with you in both your person and professional endeavors. You have only need to be open to them.

Full Moon advice from the Minoan Goddess Amalthea.

Temperance – Just because you have a lot to do doesn’t mean that you have to dive in head first and lose your balance in the push to do more. Take a breath. Take your time. Focus on grace over speed.

🌑 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.

Full Moon in Virgo Tarot Reading with the Moonchild Tarot

How can I more deeply embrace my sensual side?

Eight of Cups – Why are you wasting your time on what brings you no pleasure? Let go of what isn’t working for you. Turn down the noise, turn off the machines, step out into the fresh air and silence of the forest more often.  Allow yourself to savor and even wallow in those things you enjoy, and reject those things that stand in your way of that enjoyment.

How can I be less critical this full moon?

Two of Swords – Open your eyes and make an effort to truly see why you’re being a dick to yourself in the first place. You will then be able to make the hard choices needed to set that behavior behind you.

What health and wellness areas need attention?

King of Wands atop Seven of Wands Rx – Be steadfast in your passions, but not aggressively so. It’s going to take a bit of time to get back up to full steam where your motivation is concerned, and that’s okay. Don’t push, just give yourself the support you need to let things grow at their own pace.

What area of my life needs reorganizing?

Page of Swords – How you talk to yourself. You need to seek out and adopt a better way. You have fallen back on old habits that involve a cruel inner narrative geared to tear you down. You are still learning how to turn this around, but you’ll need to seek out a new (and more hopeful) way of doing things.

Full Moon advice from the Minoan Goddess Amalthea.

Page of Wands – Remember that life is a learning process and an adventure. Work on looking forward with eager anticipation.

How can I experiment with my creativity?

Union of Love – Involve others and enjoy working with them instead of by yourself. This is true of your interactive storytelling with Gideon, but just as true in you creative business and other hobbies. Nor is it about only connecting with the living, as there are spirits and guides that are also eager to step in and lend a hand.

What creative project is ready for my attention?

Trust Your Gut Feeling – Combined with the card above, we see an encouragement to spend some time exploring mediumship and experimenting with different techniques and methods to find what feels right for you personally.

What is the next step I need to take?

Open Mind – Don’t discount anything out of hand. Stay open to the process of experimentation over snap judgements. Remember that it’s not about what is right for others or works for them, instead you need to take what they have to offer and adapt it to what feels best for you.

How can I embrace my inner “Stevie Nicks”?

Free Will – Open yourself up to new experiences.

New Moon advice from the Minoan Goddess Amalthea.

L'Oracle de L'Amore

Where is my power during this full moon?

L’Amour en Destinée – Place your trust and confidence in the cycles of life and your belief in the universe to provide you with opportunities to thrive. Shit happens, it’s a part of life. Remember that you are a survivor and will ride the upswing with a strong grip. You will not drown, for there is still too much yet to be had.

What belief, relationship, or habit no longer serves me?

Le Souffle de L’Amour – What is no longer serving you, at least at this time, is belief and habit that drive you to fight even when you are powerless. Try using these moments of powerlessness to rest instead, and to prepare for opportunity to show its face.

What area of life could benefit from me taking a risk?

Les Trois Temples – Here we see an encouragement to let ourselves delve into the passion and connection that sex provides.  There is more to sex than physical unity, and this card is an encouragement to connect more deeply, without fear, and allow that connection to flourish through the three centers of the body, the heart, and the mind.

Where am I being called to be creative and think outside the box?

Les Voiles de L’Amour – Instead of focusing on what’s not going right, focus on what is.  You’ve just experienced a huge upset with a great deal of anxiety.  The thing is?  Instead of waiting for the next shoe to drop, you should be enjoying this time, breathing in and letting the calm wash over you as you take pleasure in the moment. The future will take care of itself, don’t let your worries block your view of what you have to cherish and enjoy in the present.

Where am I seeking validation in my life?

Le Mystère Amoureux – Self care is not something that you can be given by others, it’s something you have to do for yourself.  Validation won’t come from others, no matter how much you want it to.  It is within that you need to find what you seek, and that includes the motivation to actually do the things that tend to your well being rather than allowing distractions to pull you from the love you need to receive… from yourself.

Full Moon advice from the Minoan Goddess Amalthea.

L’Amour Cosmique -Step away from mental rigidity and allow fluidity, curiosity, and adaptation to take the wheel. Struggles and turbulence are an opportunity to show how well you can bounce back from a stumble.  Don’t allow these distractions to pull you off course of your chosen path towards the person you want to become and where you want to go in your life.
