/ Twist the Leaf / Leave a comment

Prompt: “Pull the Death card from your deck(s). Compare the imagery between the card provided below and the card(s) from your own deck(s). How would you read them differently and why?”

Death Card from the Modern Love TarotModern Love Tarot – When I look at the imagery in this card, I see vanity, and how very fleeting beauty can be. That, in turn, speaks to me of the need to cherish the beauty in our lives while it is there, for it will not last forever… just as everything is temporary, so too is that.  The advice I see in this card is about cherishing the good so that you can hold onto  memories of these good things once things change.

Death Card in the Healing Waves Tarot, Dive To You Tarot, and Seasonal Fox Tarot Day Edition

Healing Waves Tarot – A brand new eco-system using the skull of the dead as its foundations is what I see in this card, and it speaks to me about what comes after loss. Change and loss create a void, and in time that void is filled with something new.  We cannot have that something new that is to come until we have gone through the loss that precedes it.  I would read this card as a reminder of what to look forward to, and a reassurance that something more is to come to fill the void left by what has been lost.

Dive To You Tarot – With change comes loss, and with loss often comes the painful feelings of grief. This card focuses on one’s grief, and encourages us to not shut it out but to experience it and process it. It’s okay to cry, or even rail at the universe for those things we have lost.  It’s a part of letting go and processing what has been taken away and/or left behind by change that is upon us . It speaks of healthy processing rather than burying one’s feelings in the face of change.

Seasonal Fox Tarot Day Deck –  A fox looks back and considers the shadows of the past and what is lost. In lingering too long, the fox is also then cast in shadow.  Although, after change has happened, it is okay to look back now and then, make sure you do not linger in the past.  Doing so keeps us from embracing the future and making the most of what is to come.  When you consider living in the past instead of seeking the future, a part of  your future dies along with what you’re already leaving behind.

Today 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 brought to you by Leo at Apollo.Tarot.

New Moon in Cancer Tarot Reading with the Healing Waves Tarot

How can I best nurture the feminine and masculine energies that make me who I am?

Feminine – Four of Earth – When you foster a stronger sense of stability, it allows these more feminine energies within you a chance to surface and breathe.

Masculine – The Letter atop Nine of Air Rx – Don’t allow rocky seas and unexpected surprises to send you down into a downward spiral of negative inner talk and anxiety. Doing so diminishes the masculine energy within you.

How can I best support my family and those dear to me?

Five of Water Rx – Stay positive, and make sure that you are pushing a positive perspective on them as well, so that they too are unable to completely wallow in a pessimistic viewpoint.

Where in my life should I apply love unconditionally?

Page of Water – Everywhere. Be open to sharing your love with everyone and everything. You are in a learning phase when it comes to your emotional intelligence and your own emotions, and you cannot learn if you are closing yourself off.

What unresolved matters from the past need to resurface?

Seven of Fire – Take a look at the things that have made you feel defensive lately. Bring them back up and into the light. Look at them again, and work through them instead of pushing them aside.

What areas of my life do I need to go with the flow?

Three of Water – Don’t forget that getting together with friends and having a good time is a good thing, and good for you and your emotional well-being. You can’t be staid and steady all of the time. Sometimes cutting loose with others is needed.

How can I improve my emotional intelligence?

Eight of Air – Keep in mind that you cannot see everything others are going through and experiencing in life. You don’t know what troubles and trials are causing them to act the way they are. Foster understanding through the fact that you can’t see everything and know everything all of the time.

New Moon advice from the Minoan Goddess Amalthea.

Nine of Earth – It’s important to recognize all that you have accomplished and encourage a mentality of gratitude and a perspective that allows you to see clearly all you have done, and all you have garnered as a result of your hard work. Don’t allow negativity to overshadow these positive perspectives.
