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 spread is courtesy of @onyerbroom

New Moon in Scorpio Tarot Reading with the Homebound Tarot

REFLECT

Notice what you’d like to change about your life.

The Tower – You would like to learn how to better accept the things that are out of your control to fix, and find a healthier and less anxiety ridden way to move through these moments in life.

Think about what you’ve been keeping to yourself.

Death – The burden of keeping secrets during this time of transition are becoming heavier and harder to carry. It’s time to speak to the person you’re keeping secrets for and work at getting them to open up so that you can let go of this burden.

Be honest about what you really want.

The Devil Rx – You want to cull your collection and get rid of some of the decks that you no longer resonate with. It’s the logistics of doing so that are holding you back.

SET INTENTIONS

Write down what you’d like to do differently.

Justice Rx – You want to be more selfish. Choose to do the things that you personally want to do instead of factoring in others opinions, and be able to act without being dictated all the time by the predicted consequences. In other words, you want to be able live a little more freely.

Choose something you’d like to feel more confident about.

The Magician – Your capacity to turn things around in your favor instead of always allowing you overly pessimistic thoughts and tendencies to get in the way.

Set an intention that’s just for you.

Two of Wands – I will dream and plan more, and say no more often to those things I feel pressured into but don’t motivate or inspire me.

MAKE A START

Try something you’ve always wanted to do.

Five of Cups Rx – Don’t just “talk the talk” but work on “walking the walk” when it comes to putting your pessimistic tendencies in their place and looking at life through a more uplifting lens.

Have a conversation you’ve been avoiding.

Nine of Pentacles Rx – It’s time to talk to those involved about the weight and burden you’re feeling right now concerning their situation and how it’s affecting your own.

Do something today that puts your needs first.

The Fool Rx – Think before you act. You are injured. Now is the time for some extra forethought and moderation.

New Moon advice from the Minoan Goddess Amalthea.

The Hierophant – Do what the doc told you and all will be fine. He knows better than you right now.

Last Harvest 2026 – Samhain

/ Twist the Leaf / 1 Comment

Today is the third and Last Harvest of the 2026 autumn season.  Although this holiday (which is also known by most as Halloween and by many as Samhain) is celebrated around the world by those that embrace the rich history of many traditions that originated in Paganism, most don’t realize that is what they are doing… or that this holiday carries special significance as the eve of the Day of the Dead when the veil is at its thinnest between our world and those that have passed.

Like with new moons and full moons, I usually do a spread to check in with myself and give myself some direction for the next couple of months for each solstice, equinox, and other Sabbats. Instead of doing my normal Sabbat spread check-in, though, today I am using a spread from @mothermoon.ph

Samhain Tarot Reading with WisdombyKK's Halloween Tarot

What am I still holding on to that I have already outgrown?

The Emperor – It’s time to let go of the need to be in charge and in control of every little aspect of everything. You’ve learned over the past few years that you don’t -have- to be the one in charge all the time, and that it’s okay to step back and let others take the lead now and then.

What makes it difficult for me to let this go?

Nine of Pentacles atop Knight of Swords – You feel like if you’re not the one leading the charge that nothing will get done to your satisfaction.

What will help me release this attachment?

Five of Swords – Remembering that some things are messy by nature helps a great deal in releasing your need to be in constant control of every aspect of everything. Not everything has to be perfect. Sometimes it just needs to be done.

What wisdom do I want to carry forward?

Eight of Pentacles – You can teach your skills to those you trust to help you, and in time they will become skilled and proficient. They’re not half-assing on purpose, they just need more practice.

What can I look forward to with a lighter heart?

The High Priestess – With others allowed to help and occasionally take the lead, it gives you more freedom to follow your own path, enhance your own skills in other areas, and really sink into your spiritual pursuits.

Full Hunter's Moon Tarot Reading with The Mental Monsters Tarot

Hunting Me?

Nine of Swords atop Two of Wands – The anxiety of not having a firm plan in place makes you feel like you have a persistent target on your back. There are too many variables up in the air at this time, and not only did it put on hold and/or decimate the plans previously in place, it’s preventing you from making new ones.

Not Catching?

Queen of Wands – At this time there’s a lot of upheaval in your life that is preventing you from following your nature. That disconnect is uncomfortable for you. Remember that just as the sunflowers only bloom briefly, this too will pass. Find what you can to enjoy from it for the time being.

Bring Home?

Queen of Cups – Don’t close off your emotions during this time of difficulty. Instead, hold them close and explore them with gentle tenderness. Be kind to yourself and let others step in to help support you emotionally.

Full Moon advice from the Minoan Goddess Amalthea.

Two of Swords – Don’t allow your feelings of uncertainty and fear of what may be coming to convince you that waffling in indecision is better than decisive action.

Dried Lavender Bundle for Calming and Comfort
Foraged Oak Branch with Moss and Lichen for Perseverance

New Moon in Libra Tarot Reading with The Skeleton Arcana

Out of balance?

The Lovers Rx – You have not been looking after yourself in the ways that truly matter. Prioritize those things that resonate with you, instead of surrendering them to what others want.

Meet half-way?

The Sun Rx – There is a time and a place for capitulation and compromise. When there is a goal in mind and success at stake, these are the times to set your own desires on the back burner for the greater good. Choose these times wisely instead of doing this all the time.

Begin again?

Ace of Cups – Emotions are complex and you have a tendency to shut them down when it feels overwhelming or complicated. Don’t allow those emotions to remain trapped and buried, though. Make sure you are letting them out to explore and understand when you are in a safe place to do so.

New Moon advice from the Minoan Goddess Amalthea.

King of Wands Rx – Worry less about leading others and more about your own personal joys and rewards right now.

Full Moon in Aries Oracle Reading with The Birds of San Juan Island Oracle

What part of my life is asking for more courage?

Dunlin / Abundance – “More is not automatically better. Sometimes what gathers begins to take over… Celebrate what nurtures and supports you, but pay attention to excess.”

You flirted with the idea of doing a cull on your collection earlier this year, and even took a few steps in that direction. It’s time to revisit the idea. Not just concerning your collection, but concerning the clutter in your home as well. There are places that need clearing out, and others that need sorting. You’ve been avoiding these activities out of your discomfort in “letting go”.

What needs to be gathered or finished before winter?

Virginia Rail / Secrets – “… not all information needs to be exposed immediately. Some things are best kept hidden until the time is right.”

Take care with the secrets you hold. Secrets can be a form of protection, but pay attention to what it is that’s being protected. Discard those secrets that are tainted by dishonesty, and hold close those that are rooted in care, timing, and privacy.

What do I want to carry with me into the darker months?

Belted Kingfisher / Proportion – “… right-size your response. Sometimes the wise response is smaller. Sometimes it needs to be much, much bigger.”

Moving into the darker months, you would like to find greater ease in responding from a place of self confidence and authenticity, rather than feeling as if you are being pushed around by your emotions and/or smothered by your need to people please.

Full Moon advice from the Minoan Goddess Amalthea.

Red-Breasted Sapsucker / Ephemeral – “… some opportunities are brief by nature.”

Be wary of the fear of missing out. Connect with that well of intuition and authenticity within yourself to determine what opportunities are right for you, and which ones you should let pass you by.

Second Harvest 2026 – Autumn Equinox

/ Twist the Leaf / 1 Comment

Today is the Autumn Equinox.  This is considered by many to be the first day of Autumn, and is one of only two moments in the year when the sun is exactly above the Equator, and thus day and night are of equal length.  Like Halloween is a time when the veil between the land of the living and the realm of the dead is thin, this holiday (as well as its cross-point in the spring) are times when the veil between our world and that of the Fae is at is thinnest… and it is when I personally experience more interactions with them than any other time of year.

Mabon, the Second Harvest

In my path, the Autumn Equinox is also known as the Second Harvest (also called Mabon), and is a day that marks the transition of the growing season into full harvest.  After this day, the darkness of night begins to overtake the sun’s reign in the sky as the days continue to grow shorter and shorter, and the nights longer and longer. The earth is winding down its abundant generosity and beginning to close up shop for the year.

Like with new moons and full moons, I usually do a spread to check in with myself and give myself some direction for the next couple of months for each solstice, equinox, and other Sabbats. This reading’s focus is about progress and my path. The time period for this reading reaches through the next handful of weeks until the celebration of the upcoming third and Last Harvest of the year (aka. Samhain, Halloween) at the end of October.

Mabon Oracle Reading with the Seasons of the Witch Mabon Oracle

Area Ripening – Harvest Moon

You have done well at finding a more moderate pace for yourself and tamping down on your unreasonable expectations concerning performance and perfection. As the fall season progresses towards winter, these new self restraints and efforts towards moderation will come with extra challenges.

Notice how you are utilizing your mindset and time to create this balance, so that you can use these tools later on when they are needed most. Make sure that you are tapping into those tools and that part of yourself that is in need of a slower pace so that you don’t overdo it during these times.

Needs Gathering – Coven

Don’t forget that you are not alone. You are connected to others who are eager to be there for you and help when you need it.

Make sure that you are staying connected with these people and appreciative of their efforts and their offers. In doing so, you continue to hold them near you even when you don’t necessarily need the help… so that they are there when you actually do.

Must Tend To – Campfire

Communication is extremely important at this time of year, letting people know not only that you are going to need them in the season ahead that is coming, but building the connections needed to make sure that they will be available to you when you ask.

Make sure that you are expressing your needs, including the future ones to come. In doing so you are giving those you love a heads up. Do not look at this as demanding their time on or inconveniencing them. Instead, tap into your awareness that they actually -want- to help and are looking for an excuse to join you.

Season Ahead – Tea Magick

There are a lot of hidden “magics” in your life that help to keep you healthy and happy throughout the year. When you ignore these tools that are embedded into your life in the day to day, you neglect important parts of yourself that you don’t even notice are flagging until it’s too late.

Make sure that you are drinking your tea, doing your meditation, and otherwise taking care of yourself so that you will stay strong and healthy as you move forward.
