Tomorrow 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 New Moon in Gemini spread is brought to you by lightningwildflower.

New Moon in Gemini Tarot Reading with the Sleepwalker's Tarot

What new idea or perspective do I need to explore?

Seven of Coins – Your hard work is paying off, but not in the ways that you have expected it to. Take a look around and pay attention to what you are really reaping from what you’ve sown. It’s all good stuff, just not what you were anticipating.

How can I improve my communication and self-talk?

Ace of Cups – Connect with your emotions instead of disregarding them. This is a new path for you that you’ve been working on, but you’re straying off course a bit of late. It’s time to re-center yourself (the bird), and make sure that you are not setting emotions aside, but actually dealing with them and communicating them with others when needed (two hands).

What decision do I need to focus on during this new moon?

The Hanged Man – Remember that staying open minded is extremely important, and often has to be a conscious act. It’s not always pleasant, and sometimes it’ll hurt (bruises and bleeding in image), but that doesn’t mean being open to other perspectives is not important or necessary. That pain is part of the growth process, so don’t let it close you off.

How can I better integrate different aspects of myself?

Ten of Cups – Work on connecting more strongly with those things that make you happy. Life isn’t always about responsibility and obligation. Sometimes it’s about doing the things that make you feel good and sharing them with others.

New Moon advice from the Minoan Goddess Amalthea.

Ace of Swords – The other cards in this reading indicate that you may be tempted to shut down and close yourself off from others, either due to disappointment or pain. Work at making sure that you stay open and communicate how you’re feeling. Own your emotions and express them to others clearly so that they can be processed and dealt with.

Full Moon in Libra Tarot Reading with The Textured Tarot

What does my mind need for healing and balance?

The High Priestess Rx atop Seven of Wands – Less action and reaction prior to checking in with your intuition. Not taking that moment to check in with your intuition is more often than not how you end up putting your own foot in your mouth.

What does my body need for healing and balance?

The Magician – Apply what you know. It will help you achieve your goals rather than being complacent. This isn’t any one thing, but rather that you already know you need certain things in order to function at higher efficiency, and you are not applying them to yourself at this time. These tools and methods are there to help you… so use them.

What does my soul need for healing and balance?

Five of Cups Rx – Avoid the traps of a pessimistic viewpoint. It may be your natural inclination, but pessimism drags you down, and you need things that lift you up and help you see the more positive aspects of life instead.

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

Eight of Wands Rx – Stop pushing yourself to go faster and do more. You need to find a slower pace that allows you to take care of yourself instead of pushing your needs aside in order to get more done more quickly.

What is my major lesson right now?

Page of Cups – You are still learning how to understand your emotions and take care of yourself emotionally. This lesson is far from over and it’s a major lesson in your life right now that needs your attention. This doesn’t mean it’s your only lesson, but it’s definitely the major one at the moment.

Full Moon advice from the Minoan Goddess Amalthea.

Page of Wands – Use the peak energies of the spring and the full moon to reconnect with your passions and  inspiration. That creative spark still lives within you and is ready to be rekindled.

Clearing: What dreamy depths have I plumbed for long enough?

Seven of Wands Rx – It’s time to step away from that “top space” you have been residing in for quite some time now in your relationship and in the play. Release control and let yourself “be small” again.

Transitional Pause: What vague abstractions of the past are kindling for this new moon?

Five of Pentacles – Remember that you are not as bad off as you feel like you are. That negative inner narrative in your head will always make it seem worse than it is. Don’t forget how aggressive that inner narrative can be in trying to get it’s own world view across and don’t allow it’s unhealthy tendencies to drag you under.

New Seeds: How can I direct this energy with headstrong certainty?

Ten of Pentacles – Stay on task with your goals and don’t get distracted. Keep yourself grounded through the storm with the knowledge that what you are seeking to accomplish is indeed better, but will take it time to grow and build into.

Full Moon in Virgo Tarot Reading with the Chibi Tarot

Anchor Card: Hermit – “An invitation to seek wisdom within from the space of solitude. Light your own lantern, and let it be a guiding light for others on the path.”

Where can I pull back from society in order to better hear my inner voice?

What energy can I embody that will bring me closer to a position of faith?

Two of Wands – If you want to get more connected with your spirituality than you already are, then you need to go ahead and add time to your day for it.

What energy can I release that is holding me back?

King of Swords atop Nine of Pentacles Rx – Stop being so demanding with yourself all the time and berating yourself whenever you aren’t working at top efficiency. It steals away from your sense of stability, diminishes your sense of satisfaction, and keeps you from appreciating your accomplishments.

Full Moon advice from the Minoan Goddess Amalthea.

Three of Cups atop The Emperor Rx – Take a break from being the one “in charge” all the time. You’re allowed to have some fun too.
