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 @lightningwildflower
Reflect : How am I changing or healing?
Clownfish Draco – It’s getting easier for you to look at the things that take you by surprise (including unpleasant surprises) as amusing rather than ire inducing. This doesn’t mean that you don’t sometimes still react emotionally before you process, but that you’re a bit less likely to react in anger and instead with amusement during these times.
Attend : What feelings am I being asked to pay attention to?
Deep Sea Kraken – Stop skimming the surface, and look deeper. It isn’t so much that there’s one particular feeling you need to examine more closely or pay more attention to, but rather your tendency to bury the important stuff deep and try to ignore it, and instead only deal with or acknowledge whatever is on the surface.
Connect : How can I improve my connections with the ones I love?
Underwater Ruins – Don’t allow others to rewrite history for you. Not all trips down memory lane are pleasant, but sharing history that includes an element of truth is essential to bonding with those important to you. Just because they don’t want to acknowledge what happened doesn’t mean it’s not there. Don’t participate in the rewriting of history, and show your preference for the truth instead.
Align : What area of my life needs attention or alignment?
Cacaelia – It’s time to examine what you’re holding onto so tightly that it’s beginning to hold you back in your journey. You may need to sit with this and consider it, even do a few readings on it to find what this is. Don’t allow it to slip away, but see, out what has your knuckles white in that too tight grip.
Allow : What is ready to come forward in my life?
Reef Wyvern – You don’t have to be numb, nor ignore your emotions, in order to let things roll off your back like rainwater on a slicker. Remember that you can be vulnerable on the inside with that thin layer of protection still in place.
New Moon advice from the Minoan Goddess Amalthea.
Frilled Sea Serpent – “Don’t hold back or make yourself smaller just to stay safe… Step into the light, even if the first few steps are shaky.” – Guidebook
As another reading earlier in the day previously mentioned, fear is holding you back. You need to step forward into your fears, rather than allowing them to keep you in a place of stagnancy. Stretch your wings (or fins, as the case may be).
