New Moon in Virgo Oracle Reading with the Healing Heart Oracle

Where should I focus my energy this season?

Co-Creative Heart – Look for opportunities to involve others in your work, whether that is having them help you with whatever you are working on or teaching them new creative skills that can help you out along the way.

What needs re-evaluation?

Trusting Heart – You are trusting another to have your best interest at heart way too much. Instead of just blindly allowing this other to lead you, use your intuition to guide yourself in these situations.

What is just a distraction that I need to ignore?

Trapped Heart – Make sure you don’t get so wrapped up in feelings of restlessness that you end up taking unnecessary chances with your safety.

Where do I need to get more organized?

Curious Heart – Make sure that you are planning ahead when you decide to go off on an adventure. Combined with previous card in this reading, this is a reminder that due to safety issues that have come up in the past you aren’t always particularly safe when you’re out alone, and thus need to bring someone with you instead of just going off on your own on a whim.

What project would benefit from my full attention?

Rebellious Heart – This answer is an echo back to the second card in this reading. It encourages making sure that others are not being allowed to make decisions for you, and that you’re not yielding just to make things easier for yourself and/or others.

New Moon advice from the Minoan Goddess Amalthea.

Unavailable Heart – Stop trying to avoid triggers and trauma reactions. You need to instead acknowledge them, and work on healing these things, so that they are no longer an issue.

Full Moon in Aquarius Tarot Reading with the Little Bird Tarot and Animal Spirits of the Sacred Isles Oracle

How can I embrace my inner rebel during this Full Moon?

The High Priestess and Toad – Don’t allow irritation pull you off your intuition’s voice.  You need to listen to that inner knowing and do what -you- know is right rather than allowing others to badger, bug, or otherwise harass you into taking a path you know in your gut is not right for you.

What steps can I take to break free from restrictive patterns?

Eight of Cups and Snake – When something doesn’t feel right, don’t stick around just because others expect you to or you expect yourself to bear it out. Instead, look for those toxic things in your life, and as they come to your attention get rid of them… even when those might actually be people.

What change is necessary to pave a new path that aligns with me?

Eight of Swords and Salmon – You need to open your eyes and start working on seeing your environment with more clarity, rather than hiding from the harmful things that are right in front of you that you are choosing to willfully ignore.

Full Moon advice from the Minoan Goddess Amalthea.

The Star and Mouse – Make sure you are leaning into positivity and optimism, so that the threat of depression stays in the background instead of coming to the fore.

New Moon in Leo Tarot Reading with the Tarot of the Forest Witch

What heart’s desire should I manifest during this New Moon?

Wheel of Fortune atop Justice – Spin the wheel on cause-and-effect and take a chance that the consequences you predict coming to pass won’t actually be the result. You don’t have to play things so safe and close to the vest all the time.

What intentions should I set under the New Moon in Leo?

Chariot – It’s time to start moving again. The languishing and dawdling about has been a nice respite and needed rest, but to grow and thrive you also need to lean in to hard work in order to steer things in the direction you want them to go.

How can I align my actions with my hearts true desires?

Judgment – Remember where you are going and who you want to have become when you get there. Regrets don’t always come from doing something against your nature, but sometimes in standing back and not doing something that down the line you’ll wish you had.

New Moon advice from the Minoan Goddess Amalthea.

Temperance – Just because it’s time to start moving again doesn’t mean it’s time to rush or push yourself. Small steps.

Other elements included in this reading:
Conch Shell Knot for Concentration and Clarity

Full Moon in Capricorn Tarot Reading with the Good Fortune Tarot

What long-term goal can you begin to work toward now?

Three of Cups – Wringing more fun and enjoyment out of life with others. Life doesn’t have to be so serious all the time, but should also be a celebration. It’s time to start working towards and stealing more fun into your life instead of always putting it off for later.

What is the first step in reaching this goal?

King of Pentacles – Own your time and your achievements, and signal to others that you are ready to save your life instead of just striving through it. Appreciate the stability you have earned, and stop worrying so much about it being ripped out from under you.

How can you take greater responsibility for your actions?

Eight of Cups – Instead of sticking around to own the responsibilities that are dragging you down or frustrating you, take a greater responsibility for your actions by walking away from those that don’t work instead of holding onto them.

What structures in your life will support your growth?

Ten of Cups – Remember that you already have happiness in your life and people around you that make you happy. You’re not reinventing the wheel here, but learning how to saver fun and happiness more.

Full Moon advice from the Minoan Goddess Amalthea.

The Lovers – The only way to make healthier choices for yourself is to remember to think through your actions rather than just falling into what’s easiest or most familiar.

Cancer New Moon Oracle Reading with the Divine Guidance Oracle

Listen to your intuition.

Surprise – Due to the nature of intuition, is not always going to take a logical path, and sometimes it’s going to go in unexpected directions. You need to be aware of this tendency so that you don’t balk at it when it happens.

Have faith in the cosmic timing of things.

Freedom – Taking things at their own pace instead of at the speed of your unreasonable expectations does not take away from your independence.  You don’t have to worry about losing your autonomy just because things are moving slower than you’d like.

Provide a safe space for others to express their needs.

Patience – Just as you need to learn to take things at their own speed, you need to remember that sometimes you have to allow other people to take things a little slower than you would without showing your impatience.  Take a mindful breath and practice some patience with them.

Take accountability for emotions and work through them.

Chaos – The chaotic uncertainty present when your emotions are high stirs up your tendency to want to bury your emotions and hide them away. You need to remember that there is no way to work through emotions when they are buried. They need to be open and breathing, and you need to have faith that you will withstand the chaos and come out the other side.

I am connected with my deepest emotions.

Conflict – When disagreements arise, you need to take a pause and look at why you are reacting as you are in the moment. It’s in this moments that your deepest emotions are stirred up and available to you to examine.

I trust that I am protected.

Love – It is through understanding that you are not alone, and that there are people who love you, that you can feel more protected in life. That is where safety and security truly reside.

New Moon advice from the Minoan Goddess Amalthea.

Joy – Don’t hold back. Instead, let yourself enjoy those things that you really find joy in.

Full Moon in Capricorn Oracle Reading with the Feral Forager Oracle

What is the most beneficial quality I’ve developed this year?

Bonds – You are allowing yourself to be open to more people rather than shutting out everyone that’s not a part of your inner circle. At the same time, you are learning how to preserve the secrets that matter to you (as opposed to just hiding everything including yourself).

What structures do I need to put in place to reach my goals?

Reverence – Remember that there is an element of sacredness in every thing and each action. Use this knowledge to instill more reverence into the everyday.

How can I balance my emotional needs with my responsibilities?

Lamplights – Take care to sprinkle bits of joy along the way in your life’s journey. Not everything has to be so serious all the time. Yes, your goals and responsibilities are a beacon in the night that guides you, but those small bits of joy are the fireflies instilling wonder and whimsy into the mix.

What will help me overcome obstacles in the coming months?

Wandering – Don’t forget that no matter where you are upon your journey, you are not alone. There are others there that will help you along the way and even help to guide you on in the right direction when you are feeling lost.

Full Moon advice from the Minoan Goddess Amalthea.

Tutor and Together – Don’t forget that life is a journey that we travel upon (and learn from) together. The tutor is also always a student, and it’s through our interconnectedness with each other that we grow.
