/ Twist the Leaf / Leave a comment

Tomorrow is the full moon and lunar eclipse, 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 Apollo Tarot.

What should I know about my financial life?

The Count – Just because it’s a long road doesn’t mean that you won’t get there. Perseverance is important. You’ve stood strong through a variety of difficulties and you’ll manage to get through this one too. Your tenacity is legendary, after all.

What should I know about my emotional life?

Ouroboros – Your emotions feed off of each other, and off what comes from the mind. If you want to have healthier and happier emotions, you need to make a conscious effort to give your emotions a better diet to eat off of.

How do my feelings relate to the material situation in my life?

Deliverance – You feel most emotionally secure when your finances are stable and material needs are met. When you don’t feel those needs are being met, you suddenly begin feeling like the entire world is falling apart and your most vulnerable parts are showing.

What is it that I do not see that could bring about change in my life?

The Mermaid – You’re going to be given the opportunity to move outside of your comfort zone. Don’t dismiss it out of hand, as it has the potential to introduce you to much beyond your ken.

How can I best prepare for possible changes in my life?

Redemption Rx – Face your truths instead of hiding from them because they are something that you don’t want to know, hear, or see. Turning a blind eye will only allow changes to sneak up on you instead of being prepared for them.

What negative aspects of myself need healing?

Purgation –  That part of yourself that feels the need to punish yourself all the time and create self-destructive situations is in need of some healing. Regardless of your intentions, these behaviors do not purge you of those parts of yourself that need to be let go.

Full Moon advice from the Minoan Goddess Amalthea.

Homunculus – It’s okay to have a little time to yourself right now, as long as you don’t let it get out of hand and become a problem.

🌑 New Moon and Solar Eclipse in Libra – October 2023

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 brought to you by the Hermit’s Mirror.

New Moon in Libra and Solar Eclipse Oracle Reading with the Fantasma Oracle

Clearing: Which of my expectations are so high that they’re alienating?

The Call – When you reach out to others, you expect immediate answers from them. You need to remember that they are not at your beck and call, any more than you are at theirs.

Transitional pause: Where can my critical eye adjust to help me see the beauty in everything?

The Cat – Be more flexible. Take more time to observe rather than react.  Allow yourself to have a moment to bend outside the box of your norm.

New seeds: What relationship is ready for a new infusion of harmony and love?

The Scuffle – Examine those you have recently had disagreements with, and consider where things might have been blown out of proportion by emotions.

Light in darkness: How does indecision help me identify what truly matters?

Moon Priestess – Indecision has the potential to shut your brain down, and instead allow your intuition room to step in and speak. You have only to allow this to happen and listen when it does.

Planetary boon: When can charm deliver what’s best for my loved ones and me?

The Creeper atop The Scarecrow – That creepily inappropriate physio doc of Ms B’s. The situation requires a straight spine and firm hand, but with a good dose of sugar, not vinegar.

New Moon advice from the Minoan Goddess Amalthea.

Ten of Pentacles – Participate in and enjoy the good things in life. You are far richer than you allow yourself to feel or see.

Seven of Swords Rx atop Knight of Pentacles – Don’t let your negative inclinations steal away all the hard won progress you have made.

Space: What parts of my life should I be prepared to re-assess and shift during this eclipse cycle?

The Title and The Wands – Semantics are important, but don’t let them cloud the truth. Sometimes the same thing can be said in a variety of different ways, and spending your focus picking apart the little things can keep you from seeing that everyone is actually on the same page.

Lunar Gift: What is emerging from within me that will challenge my sense of who I am?

The Devil – Self destructive urges and personal addictions are on the rise. Take care not to let them take over.

Growth: How will this help me grow over the next six months?

The Adventurer – It can help to free you from the restraints that those urges and addictions force upon you. Restraints that keep you closed indoors or too preoccupied to explore your creative spark.

Understanding: Why is now the right time for this particular emergence?

The Wizard – You have the tools, the wherewithal, and the strength to get through it at this time.

Care: How can I best support myself when things get uncomfortable?

The Hanged Man – Take a pause and consider the situation from different perspectives.  Look at what’s going on and consider how you are reacting to it… and why.  Try to see the situation in a different light that allows you to feel more confident and ease your discomfort.

What half truths about myself do I need to acknowledge and release in order to rock my authenticity?

River – Acknowledge that there is strength in submission and surrender. Just as the river bends and turns, flowing to the whims of topography and gravity and yet also carves away at stone and molds the land in its wake, your strength often resides in yielding instead of going against the flow.

How can I tap into my TRUE potential to accomplish my core desires?

Star atop Threshold – Dream high and then put your mind and determination to it. If whatever it is is really what you want and you put your intention into getting there, you will always find a way.

In what aspect of my life do I need to step up to the plate as a leader?

Lioness atop Hummingbird – To lean into positivity and optimism takes trust and courage. When you allow yourself that trust, you show others what is possible. Don’t let your naturally pessimistic tendencies win.

When would I benefit from taking risks and being impulsive?

Artemis atop Brigid – Your space is your to do with as you wish. Don’t let worries about the chaos of changing things hold you back.

Full Moon advice from the Minoan Goddess Amalthea.

Deer – Be kind to yourself. Treat yourself with gentleness and kinship.

Second Harvest 2023 – Autumn Equinox

/ Twist the Leaf / Leave a comment

Tomorrow 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 that 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 Altar

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. Unfortunately, I was unable to do my normal Sabbat reading this month, so I picked one off the internet that fit the theme of the holiday to do instead.

Where to focus my energy this season

Judgement – Staying true to yourself and who you want to become is where you need to ensure your energy is focused this season. There will always be potential distractions to draw you off track, and that is potentially even more true as we lean into the journey towards the final harvest next month.

Growth I’m bringing into Autumn

The Hierophant – You have learned a lot of skills over the summer that you will carry with you not just into Autumn, but the rest of your life. Physical skills, emotional skills, interpersonal skills.  How to take care of others as well as expanding on your own intuitive abilities. These things will in time become foundational knowledge for you so that you can stretch and grow even more.

An obstacle of this season

The Emperor – Don’t allow yourself to become an evil taskmaster pushing yourself too hard, and don’t allow others to treat you that way either. You only have a little bit of time to recover and find your center before chaos begins, and forcing yourself to push too hard now will be a detriment later.

Something to shed

The Touch – It’s time to lean into being less hands-on in the healing process of others. They need to re-establish their independence so that you can then re-establish your own.  When you do too much for them and help too much, it hinders that process.

Something to forgive

Wheel of Fortune – Life is unpredictable. It’s no one’s fault.  Don’t blame yourself… don’t blame others either.  Just roll with it and move on.

Something to harvest

The Gift – As previously touched upon with the Hierophant above, make sure that you are taking time to acknowledge the gains you have made over the past few months in your abilities, both mundane and more.

Something to embrace

The Fool – Head into Autumn with enthusiasm. Don’t get hung up on the shit that will try to hold you back or drag you down.

How is my relationship with my job right now?

Giantkiller atop Scholar – You just remembered the other day that you haven’t been keeping up logging your tax information. You know you’ll crush it on catching up though, when it’s time. You’ll just have to put your mind and determination to it.

What life aspect needs more organization in this moment?

Chasm – Get on top of adding structure and organization to those things that help you to stave off and mitigate your depressive episodes. You can make sure you fit in what you need if you build the room for it into your day that you know you need.

What services can I give to the community for my own spiritual development?

High Tide – Work on your boundaries. It may not seem like a service to others, but it absolutely is.

What health aspects should I pay attention to at this time?

Memory – Your negative self narrative affects every aspect of your life including your physical well-being. Make sure you are stepping up with those methods that help you combat those negative inner thoughts.

How can I improve my self-healing skills?

Vampire – Look for those in your life that are tapping into your energy, and do what’s needed to make sure your boundaries are in place to keep those unhealthy influences to a minimum.

New Moon advice from the Minoan Goddess Amalthea.

Driftwood – Stay alert and aware for warning signs and dangerous situations.

Full Moon in Pisces Tarot Reading with the Francois Georgin Épinal Tarot Revived c1860

How is my subconscious affecting my everyday habits?

Eight of Swords – You are ignoring things that would be better acknowledged and dealt with. Avoidance happens, but you need to make sure you aren’t avoiding dealing with the things that are important.

What past life karma am I needing to feel?

Three of Coins – You have always struggled to work with others instead of doing things on your own. A part of this lifetime’s lesson is learning how to collaborate instead of always leaning in to doing things solo.

How can I find balance between my mind, body, and spirit?

Four of Cups – Meditation is key. Get back to it.  You cannot find balance without it.

What do I need to clear out (remove) at this time?

Six of Swords – Get rid of the idea that running away is a solution. Sometimes you have to stick around and resolve things instead. Your current situation is one of those times.

What is something I should say?

Ten of Coins – Tell those around you how grateful you are for them in your life and how wealthy, fortunate, and secure they make you feel. Although you don’t take them for granted, it can feel like it sometimes because you tend not to verbalize how much you value their presence in your life.

How can I connect with divine guidance at this time?

Five of Wands – Be open to opinions and methods that are not your own. Others have ideas too that are just as valid as yours.  Don’t squash their ideas outright, nor “talk over them” with your own.

Full Moon advice from the Minoan Goddess Amalthea.

The Hanged Man – Listening does not mean acting. No action need be taken… just listen and allow others to feel heard.
