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.

Full Moon & Lunar Eclipse in Taurus Tarot Reading with the Moonlight Magick Tarot

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.

Full Moon & Lunar Eclipse In Scorpio Oracle Reading with the Korean Wildflower Oracle

Where in my life can I seek deeper meaning?

Amur Adonis – Remember that there is a difference between perception, and truth. Seek a deeper understanding of those things that you think you know so well, for there is more underneath yet to explore.

What shallow shit needs to stop?

Five Leaf Chocolate Vine – Stop discounting yourself. You are resilient. You are a survivor. And you are capable of far more than you give yourself credit for.

What instincts do I need to trust?

Siberian Geranium – Just because your emotions speak a language that you rarely understand, doesn’t mean that they aren’t valid and don’t need the freedom to express themselves as they arise.

What relationships do I need to tend to?

Cape Jasmine – All of them. A well tended garden blooms many flowers. So, any relationship that you want to thrive needs careful tending.

How can I express my sensual side?

Lily of the Valley – Seek out what makes you happy instead of using deprivation of joy and pleasure as a punishment on yourself.

Full Moon advice from the Minoan Goddess Amalthea.

Terebinthaceous Hogfennel and Catchfly – It’s natural to look back on your past and the mistakes you’ve made and feel foolish. You were young and you had much to learn, and the mistakes you made helped you to become the man you are today, so don’t fall into the trap of feeling ashamed or embarrassed about what you see when you look back on the past.

Lunar Eclipse in Taurus – November 2021

Tomorrow is not just the Full Moon, but there is also a Lunar Eclipse!  In celebration of that upcoming event, I decided to do a reading geared towards the eclipse and the energies surrounding it. This spread is brought to you by Ethony‘s Tarot By the Moon series.

Lunar Eclipse in Taurus - Surrealist Tarot

1. What do my guides want me to know during this time?

The Wheel – Ups and downs are part of life. Make sure you’re focusing on the good and not becoming hyper focused on the bad.

2. Where is it best to focus my energy at this time?

Two of Cups atop Four of Pentacles – Resolving differences and creating sense of community between those nearest and dearest to you. Union and harmony is going to be extremely important in the weeks ahead, and these themes can only be established when people feel safe and secure.

3. What mask do I need to drop?

Strength – You can’t do everything yourself no matter how much you want to believe that you can. Stop pretending. You’re not fooling yourself or anyone else. Allow others in to help you.

4. What needs to be reigned in?

Eight of Wands – Slow down. You’re starting to get ahead of yourself again. Don’t allow yourself to fall back into that horrible churning place where you feel like you’re spinning your wheels and not getting anywhere.

5. How can I be more gentle with myself during this time?

The Hermit – Make sure you are getting the extra (and yes, healthy) alone time that you need right now. This means allowing yourself time in nature whenever possible, and getting back into your meditation practice on a regular basis.

Along with the Full Moon, which I did a reading for yesterday, tomorrow is also a Lunar Eclipse!  In celebration of that upcoming event, I decided to do a reading geared towards the eclipse and the energies surrounding it. This spread is brought to you by Ethony‘s Tarot By the Moon series.

Lua Tarot - Lunar Eclipse Tarot Reading

1. What external influences are not serving my highest good right now?

The Hanged Man Rx – Make sure that you’re not allowing the closed-mindedness of others to influence your own perceptions. Be aware of where their motivations are centered in relation to the perspectives that they share instead of taking what is said at face value.  Dig deeper and read between the lines, then let go of what doesn’t serve you instead of falling into the trap of their perspective being the only one.

2. Where do I need to shift my perspectives?

Queen of Cups – It is not a weakness to seek out support and a sympathetic ear when you need one.  It takes strength to share your weakness with others and trust them to support you during those times instead of closing up and dealing with it all on your own.

3. How can I best re-charge my energy?

The Seeker – It’s time to get your ass back out in nature and do some hiking. This is about more than a bit of forest bathing, but should include some exertion and effort combined with the peace and comfort that the forest gives you.  Realistically, you can’t go on your own right now, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t go at all, just make sure you pick your trails wisely so that whoever you take along can keep up.

4. What is the best course of action for my highest good?

Page of Cups  – Stay open and receptive to input and allow your creative energy to stretch and flex.  Imagination and enjoyment in what you do is a good thing and will help you thrive and move forward, just make sure you’re not closing yourself off emotionally as it will close you off in other ways as well and none of them are healthy.

5. What belief do I need to leave behind??

Knight of Wands – That you have to be go-go-go all the time, moving non-stop toward your goals.  It’s okay to rest, and it’s okay to take your time.  Don’t worry so much about how fast you’re getting where you’re going. Instead slow down and enjoy the ride and the stops along the way.  You’ll get where you want to go eventually and without the unhealthy pressure, burnout, and stress that going full speed all the time creates.
