Happiness Chemicals Cards and Sleepwalker's Tarot II Golden Planet - Page of CupsToday’s draw is the Page of Cups, which is traditionally a representation of a receptive omega energy, personality, or person in the area of one’s emotions, relationships, creativity, or intuition. This often translates into themes that have to do with emotional growth, second chances relationships, or exploring one’s creative pursuits.

Confession. I don’t like to be touched. Not even by most of the people I’m close with. I’m not a fan of hugs or handshakes, kisses or arm touches.

With the exception of sex? I have a tendency to shirk away on the inside whenever someone touches me. That even includes my partner… although in his case, I can usually push past it. Now that I think about it, though? I wonder if that’s why I often misinterpret some of his touches as sexual overtures instead of just touching to touch.

The thing is? I know that this distaste is the “wrong” reaction. It’s a defense mechanism on overdrive that’s far too sensitive.

I know, too, that most people find touch to be comforting. They probably don’t realize it, but the fact that I allow them to touch me and, in fact, allow them to take the lead and not just when and where, but how long they touch me for… is a gift. It is because I love them and want to be someone they come to and feel comfortable with.

I wonder sometimes, though, if it’s confusing to them that I rarely seek out their touch. Instead, I simply accept/give it when they signal it’s needed. Does it make them think I don’t care or love them or trust them? I worry that it might.

Today’s message is about exploring the unexplored emotions within us. How do you express love and acceptance? How don’t you? Why? Look at how others express their emotions to you. Is the connection one you enjoy or just accept? Is there miscommunication of emotion going on between how you express our emotions to others, and how they express their emotions to you? Today’s cards encourage exploring those themes in your life.

Prompt for June 30th : The Flow Spread

Naturmomente für Deine Seele and My Goddess Provisions Deck Sets

How am I invited to step into the flow of greater personal freedom?

The Spruce atop The Fox; Sagittarius – Remember that it’s okay to pause and take care, even in moments where it feels like things are rushed and need to be spontaneous. It is a part of your nature to foster stability, and that means that sometimes you just can’t throw everything to the wind without a care in the world. That’s perfectly okay.

How can I deeply root this flow in the daily rhythm of my life?

Root atop Comfrey; The Hedgehog – It’s when things feel the most stable that you’re able to open up and let go. In order to find the freedom to go with the flow, you need to feel that there is stability in place to fall back on. This allows you to feel protected even in times when you are allowing yourself to be vulnerable.

What can this flow lead to for me in the months to follow?

The Mullein and Throat – Following this flow can lead to the ability to speak your truth more freely. When you feel protected, it allows you to communicate more openly instead of holding back.

Other elements included in this reading:
Dried Rhododendron Leaf for Fostering Confidence
Fuchsia Flowers for Stability in the Face of External Disruption
Tree Agate for Fostering Peace and Patience
Rose Quartz for Gentle Kindness to Self and Others
Desert Rose for Purification and drawing in Positive Energy

I crawled around on the floor to dig through the bottom shelves and pull a collection of decks in rotation for July today, instead of putting it off as I was tempted to do.

🌑 New Moon in Gemini – June 2023

/ Twist the Leaf / Leave a comment

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.
