🌕 Full Moon in Sagittarius – May 2026

Tomorrow 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 courtesy of @onyerbroom

Full Blue Moon in Sagittarius Tarot Reading with the Tarot of Trees

What is repeating that needs my attention?

Page of Cups – The emotions that confuse you repeat on you like acid reflux because you are not giving them enough attention when they present themselves. Each time they repeat, they leave you raw and overwhelmed. Sit with them a bit longer and take time to explore them instead of trying to move on so quickly.

What am I avoiding that needs my attention?

Five of Pentacles – Take a closer look at your finances. Seek out those things that are adding to your feelings of scarcity and deal with them, instead of letting them continue to cause foundational discomfort and disruption.

What is closing that needs my attention?

The Star – You need to spend more time focusing upon your efforts towards incorporating hope and optimism into your life. Give yourself what you need to feel happy and complete. By not doing so, that window of positivity closes a little bit more each day, giving pessimism and your depression a foothold to take its place.

What is returning that needs my attention?

Seven of Swords – The values and ideals of others are not your own. Take the time to reconnect with what is truly important to you, rather than adopting the mindset of apathy that allows others the power and ability to push you further and further from what you feel is truly important.

Full Moon advice from the Minoan Goddess Amalthea.

Death – If the changes you see coming aren’t something you want to happen, do something about it. You don’t have to take all of it lying down, but rather learn to move and dance with the storm in order to bend rather than break.

Wyspell Tarot - Two of Pentacles

Today’s draw is the Two of Pentacles, which is traditionally a representation of juggling responsibilities, work/life balance, and prioritization.

The Two of Pentacles is then combined with an affirmation from the Pass Around the Smile Positive Guidance Cards for Kids, which says, “Believe in yourself. You can achieve whatever it is that you want, if you truly believe in yourself.”

Find your own sense of balance before diving into the rest.

When you believe in yourself, anything is possible. The key here is believing in yourself, though. It’s in believing that you can do the work and achieve the results of that work.

I feel like there’s too many people out there these days trying to “manifest” the results they want without being willing to put in the work to get there. That’s not how this works, though. You can’t just want something bad enough and it’ll fall in your lap.

That includes working on ourselves.

Manifestation Quote from Tarotholics Discord Member
Quoted text from Discord Tarotholics Member

The message in today’s Two of Pentacles and affirmation card is a reminder that there’s more to manifestation than wishful thinking. If you truly want something, you have to act on it. Nothing worth having is going to fall into your lap without you putting in the actual work to get it.

How can you better express loving care for yourself today?

Hermit atop The Magician; Pigeon

Consider your alone time a tool used to help you recover from time with others, and prepare you for the next.

Instead of hiding or avoidance, use this time to constructively prepare yourself as well as recover from what came before.

This time shouldn’t make you feel guilty, but rather it’s a form of empowerment over your own needs. Those that love you will understand this.

How can you better express to loved ones how you feel about them?

Prompt for May 28th : Where I’ve been rushing past something good

Tarot Reading with the Wyspell Tarot

Reading Summary: You’re so darned worried (Nine of Swords tipped right) that you’re going to lose what you have (Seven of Swords atop Four of Pentacles) that you’re not enjoying it to its fullest while you have it (The Fool).

Take Away: Work on taking more joy in the journey, rather than always either focusing on the negative or on the next goal.

Too often, you ignore the good stuff in order to plow forward and succeed more, build a stronger foundation, or shore up your resources. You do this so often that you forget to have fun and enjoy what you have in the here and now.

These cards encourage letting go of that need to always be plowing forward toward your next goal or a greater sense of stability, and instead take time to enjoy what you have while you have it. Right now in the moment… not later.

Celtic Tarot's Queen of Swords, Secret Tarot's Knight of Wands, and Crossed Destinies Tarot's The Hierophant

May 26 – Mental Health Card of the Day

Today’s meditation was a ten minute long #DailyCalm session from the @Calm app.

•    •    •    ◈    •    🌷    •    ◈    •    •    •

Daily Mental Health Prompt: Seek a positive message to carry with you throughout the day and offer perspective.

Today’s draw is the Queen of Swords, which is traditionally a representation of a receptive alpha energy, personality, or person in the area of one’s knowledge, education, logic, ambitions, or communication. This can often translate into themes that have to do with the people that foster you through tough love and sharp-tongued advice.

The card has then been combined with a card from The Az 2 Oracle, which says, “Are you reaching for something right now? What is it? Whatever it is… it’s reaching for you too. Perhaps you can meet in the middle? 😉 You know which middle I’m talking about.”

Often, when we want something, it feels like the only way to get there is through sheer determination and grit. We forget that sometimes, all that grit and determination can push us past what we wanted, and cause us to lose out in the value that lies in getting there in the first place. Instead, we charge forward like a bull, determined and single minded, knocking people, things, and experiences out of the way as we barrel towards out goals.

The message in today’s Queen of Swords and affirmation card is a reminder that you don’t have to charge in like a bull to get where you want to go. Instead of plowing ahead, slow down. Allow others to help you, advise you, and be a part of the process. In doing so, you trade the forced rage of the bull for the strength of community, which will get you where you’re going just as efficiently, but with far more value gathered along the way.

May 27 – Mental Health Card of the Day

Today’s meditation was a ten minute long #DailyTrip session from the @Calm app.

•    •    •    ◈    •    🌷    •    ◈    •    •    •

Daily Mental Health Prompt: Seek a positive message to carry with you throughout the day and offer perspective.

Today’s draw is the Knight of Wands, which is traditionally a representation of a projective beta energy, personality, or person in the area of one’s drive, passions, willpower, principles, inspiration, or enthusiasm. This often translates into themes that have to do with rash behavior and a go-get’em attitude toward the things that matter to that person.

The card has then been combined with a card from the LOBILAT Rumi Quotes deck, which says, “Submit to love without thinking.”

I think this is a rare thing; to just submit to love instead of mentally picking it apart. I know it was for me when it came to Gideon, and to a lesser extent when it comes to the rest of my loved ones as well. (I say “to a lesser extent” because in Gideon’s case I was very much against having a romantic partner in the beginning. It took him some time to convince me.)

It’s hard to trust. It’s hard to put our suspicions, vulnerabilities, defense mechanisms, and pessimistic tendencies aside to just accept love. Maybe, I think, it’s sometimes even harder than giving love.

The message in today’s Knight of Wands and affirmation card is a reminder that love is something to be enthusiastic about. It’s something to dive into, wallow in, and not just give but also accept unconditionally. Today’s message encourages us to not let our past hurts and traumas jade us to love, but to instead accept it with open arms and gratitude.

May 28 – Mental Health Card of the Day

Today’s meditation was skipped.

•    •    •    ◈    •    🌷    •    ◈    •    •    •

Daily Mental Health Prompt: Seek a positive message to carry with you throughout the day and offer perspective.

Today’s draw is The Hierophant card, which is traditionally a representation of traditions, spiritual guidance, long standing institutions, teachers and guides, and themes that deal with conformity and social norms.

The card has then been combined with a Forest Bathing card, which says, “Do you know the trees in their breathing cycle release oxygen and water vapor through mini openings in their leaves called stomata? Leaves can have up to 1000 of these pores on one square millimeter. I invite you to explore the variety of leaves and contemplate our similarities as a permeable living system. I wonder what you notice”.

Permeable means allowing liquids or gases to pass through it; acting as a filter rather than a solid barrier by letting materials seep in or out. That is to say that trees, and leaves, and even we are not truly stagnant and solid. We breathe in air and exhale carbon dioxide. Water flushes through our system, replenishing and cleansing as it goes. Life and living means we are never truly still, stagnant, or completely “solid”.

When we look at the Hierophant, it often indicates traditions. The thing is? Even traditions change over time. Nothing stays exactly the same from one generation to the next. To me, that means that traditions are also a living, breathing thing. They flex and bend, evolve and change. Sometimes over years, and other times over centuries… but it happens all the same.

The message in today’s Hierophant and affirmation cards is a reminder that life isn’t meant to stagnate. It’s meant to move and flow. Sometimes that flow is quick, and other times it’s a glacier’s pace… but it’s still movement. Stagnancy is not the answer, flexibility and movement is.

Stolen Child Tarot's Eight of Swords (Eight of Zephyrs) and Pass Around the Smile Positive Guidance Cards for Kids

Today’s draw is the Eight of Swords, which is traditionally a representation of willful ignorance, self-imposed restrictions, turning a blind eye (especially when it can be harmful to self), and entertaining a victim mentality.

The Eight of Swords has then been combined with an affirmation card from the Pass Around the Smile Positive Guidance Cards For Kids deck, which says, “Your gifted. Think of all the things you admire about other people… they admire things about you too!”

Too often we are blind to our own positive traits, too busy focusing on our flaws that we forget there are good traits to be loved and admired.

In many, this becomes a continuous negative inner narrative, obliterating the good we could see in ourselves as well as the world around us. This litany of negative input drags us down and blinds us to the good we could be experiencing as well as the good within ourselves that we could be sharing with others.

The message in today’s Eight of Swords and affirmation card is a reminder that those negative inner narratives are not half as significant as they make themselves out to be, and are overshadowing the other half of the equation… which is the good side, the good traits, the positive attributes, and wonderful parts of you that you’re not acknowledging. Search out these qualities and give them a little bit of attention so that they can shine brightly, and in doing so dampen and defang that negative inner narrative’s voice.

Tarot Reading with the Lady Black Cat Tarot and Tuğçe's Cat Oracle

What are you ignoring that needs to be dealt with?

Queen of Swords and Balance

Mind your tongue. It’s far too sharp for your own good lately. Take care to balance out that sharpness with an extra bit of tenderness and a good dose of awareness.

How can you best begin dealing with what’s being ignored?

Knight of Cups and Justice

First admit you’re wrong to yourself, and then to others. Own your words and actions.

Then tap into emotional warmth and share what you enjoy with those around you in order to balance out that harsh and negative tone. Appeal to the love others feel for you and you for them in order to balance the scales.

Philosophical Question: Is mankind going in the right or wrong direction?

The Fool and Burden

Too much time spent playing the fool (self-centeredness, greed, lack of caution, etc) has heaped more and more burdens not just upon mankind, but upon the world is a whole.

I would personally consider this the wrong direction.

Tarot Reading with the Stolen Child Tarot and Enchanted Garden Oracle

Reading Summary: Boundaries (Onyx) are not meant to cut you off from your joys (Nine of Cups) or nor create obstacles between you and your goals (Ten of Pentacles).

Take Away: Boundaries are made in order to protect your health and happiness, ensuring you take good care of yourself and are able to instill joy into your life in healthy ways.

Boundaries are not meant to be used as punishment, nor as a way to inflict self-harm upon yourself or otherwise create unhealthy treatment that is harmful for your well-being.

When you are using boundaries in unhealthy ways, that means that it’s time to sit down and do some examining (and reorganizing) of your priorities. It won’t get better on its own.

Solis Occasum Lux Bromalis - Ace of Wands and the Forest Bathing Cards

Today’s draw is the Ace of Wands, which is traditionally a representation of the seed, start, or new beginnings in the area of one’s passion projects, inspiration, drive, willpower, and determination. This often translates into themes that have to do with budding new interests and new passion projects.

The Ace of Wands has then been combined with a card from the Forest Bathing deck, which says, “As you stroll through the forest, I invite you to listen to nature’s musical tapestry. The big sounds usually overshadow the more subtle ones. I wonder what you will hear…”

What magic are you missing in the world around you by taking things at face value and not paying closer attention? What more can you see when you stop assuming, and instead truly listen and look deeper at what’s going on around you?

There is so much that is remarkable and passion inducing in the world that we pass by every day without even noticing. Worlds within worlds of sound and life we never see. Layers upon layers of depth within people that we never truly get to know.

The message in today’s Ace of Wands and affirmation card is a reminder of these layers, and an encouragement to look beyond just the surface level of not just other people, but of our experiences as well. In doing so, you never know what treasures you may uncover and what new passions you may discover.

Affirmation : “I welcome opportunities for fun.“
Prompt : Picture the card you draw as a friend you are going to spend the day with. What fun activities are you doing together? What are you talking about? Wearing? Feeling?

Tarot Activity from The One Card a Day Journal by Maria Sofia Marmanides - Gold Moon Major Arcana - The Moon card

What feelings came up when I pulled this card?

I felt myself slip into the “advocate” role that I am both familiar with and enjoy. I like to help people, and this Moon card gives me an opportunity to do that.

What elements of the card’s meaning resonate with me and this prompt?

The Moon is about uncertainty and the unknown, and often about how fears can cause our perception of something to blow out of proportion.

What in the artwork spoke to me?

The figure in this card looks a lot like the High Priestess. It spoke to me of the fact that the fears are rooted in perception and perspective instead of solid logic and fact. That tells me what is needed here is a good dose of stability.

My prompt response and reflections.

We are going to go hiking. (While wearing appropriate hiking attire, of course.)

Frankly, we would be going hiking with any number of the cards I might have pulled, because it’s what I want to do. This card’s fear and uncertainty wouldn’t dissuade me in this activity. Instead, it would inspire me to assist them in getting over their fears.

As we hike, we would talk about their fears and worries, and I would help them to see that these things aren’t as huge and insurmountable as they seem.

I would show them through encouragement and the stability in my presence that they are safe and help them to find enjoyment in the activity so that when they think back in the future they will have a positive memory to bolster them.

Question: How can you better utilize your free time with yesterday’s question in mind?

Anchor Card : The Celestial Bloom

“The internal dawn requires no battle against the dark; it asks only that the mist of uncertainty be allowed to lift.”

Reading Summary: The coins in the Ten of Pentacles and the Anchor card echo each other in shape and form. This speaks to the key to successes you seek lying in the disbursement of fears and anxieties surrounding change.

In The High Priestess card, she holds above her head a cloud that connects in its design to the frosty petals of the Celestial Bloom in the Anchor card. There is promise here that even when things fall apart, wither and fall away, or otherwise meet to be discarded, stability will live on.

The Two of Swords resembles scissors coming to snip the Celestial Bloom‘s unseen stem. Decide what to cut away, but don’t go overboard.

Take Away: Today is “trim the lilac tree” day, which comes but once a year. My balcony garden needs some tending, and today’s a good day to get out there and get some of it done.

❤️ Self Care Saturday (On a Sunday)

/ Twist the Leaf / Leave a comment

These Saturday readings are (not usually) bearing in on any one thing or event in my life, as the question used is asking for a more general outlook. This is a self care exercise, and is not meant as a predictive reading… although that, too, happens on occasion.

The question is… What do I need to focus for self-care through the week ahead?

Self Care Saturday Tarot Reading with the SHE Pioneers Tarot and The Cycle of Chaos Playing Cards

Earth – Three of Cups – Joy is sweeter when shared with others. You’re so close to finishing your taxes. Garner help from those around you to help get you to the end of the process, then celebrate with them when it’s over. The celebration will sweeter with all involved.

Air – The High Priestess – Look deeper for the answers you seek. Surface level observations aren’t enough.

Water – The Lovers – Make sure that you are consulting and prioritizing your heart’s needs this week. Connect to your emotions and to those around you that share in the tangle of heart’s threads with yours. Prioritize this above societal pressures.

Fire – The Hanged Man – When it comes to your personal pursuits and passions, step back this week, not forward. There is much to be garnered by observation, and much to be lost through impulse.

Waning – Nine of Spades and Seven of Spades – Fears and running away are not going to get you where you want to go. Instead of turning tail to run, pause and watch.

Waxing – Ace of Diamonds and King of Spades – There is great opportunity in practicality, just remember the advice in the Air position and be sure to look deeper than surface level to keep from being out-foxed.

Take Away – This week needs to focus on getting the practical things done and out of the way, with the help of those around you invested in the process as well as the end result. Take care with your impulses and lean into stepping back to treat new opportunities, ideas, and interests with caution instead of outright enthusiasm.
