Firethereal Tarot, Beautiful Beasts Tarot, Positive Affirmations Oracle

November 10

The Lovers – Reach out to others when you are feeling down instead of retreating into yourself.  You’ve been taught to keep negative emotions to yourself, but it is a far healthier and better choice to surround yourself with loved ones who can provide you with a beacon of light to follow out of the darkness when you’re feeling down.   Don’t go with the comfortable choice of staying in the dark… go with the healthy choice instead.

November 12

Death – It might not align with your nature of going with the flow until you -need- to speak up, but sometimes it’s important to share your opinions and thoughts on things… even when maybe they’re not welcome or desired.  Say your piece and make sure you’re heard, as you often offer a change in viewpoint others need to see, and support to keep people strong in times of change.

🌑 New Moon in Scorpio – November 2023

/ Twist the Leaf / Leave a comment

On Sunday 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 Seeds of Shakti.

Scorpio New Moon Oracle Reading with the Secret Oracle of the Green Witch

What hurts do I need to release that still sting?

The Candles – You spent so much time this year under the thumb of necessity that it’s been a struggle for you to reconnect with that inner spark of creativity that usually shines so brightly within you. Keep trying. It’s still there, but the wood is wet and it will take a bit of effort to get the fire going.

What self-destructive behaviors do I need to recognize and stop?

Dandelion – Dehydration is not your friend. You need your kidneys strong and healthy, especially because of the medical procedures coming up and all the stress of the holiday rush as well. Make sure you are drinking enough water.

What aspect of my life is undergoing a potent transformation?

A Garden of Your Own – You have been advised by your therapist to begin a daily compliment journal. This practice has a great deal of potential to help you find a better sense of inner peace and stability. It’s a good idea, so get to it.

What will help me delve deeper into my heart space to explore what I need and don’t want in my life?

Greater Burdock – Fear and anger breed stagnancy. You need to flush these emotions out of your system. Let them go. Don’t spend your time resenting what has passed, nor in trepidation of the what ifs of what could or might happen but has yet to come to pass.

New Moon advice from the Minoan Goddess Amalthea.

The Sacred Space atop Ribwort Plantain – Get your ass out in nature and pay attention while you’re there. Reconnection to those you’ve been neglecting is needed in the place of wet and green.

Ethereal Dreams Tarot, Ethereal Avatar Tarot, Esmerlize Tarot, and Positive Affirmations Oracle

November 7

Today’s meditation was ten minutes long, and was focused on the message in today’s cards, which is…

Knight of Swords – You are intelligent and clever, and these qualities are always on your side whenever you face any challenge.  You are a force to be reckoned with, someone that is able to think outside the box and expand your horizons in order to further your goals.

November 8

Today’s meditation was ten minutes long, and was focused on the message in today’s cards, which is…

Seven of Cups – There is no need or reason to explain yourself when you make the choices that are best for you. No one is owed an explanation if you are not inclined to offer one, or is it necessary to share your moments of deliberation if you don’t feel like doing so. Don’t allow others to pressure you into sharing when you’d rather not.

November 9

Today’s meditation was ten minutes long, and was focused on the message in today’s cards, which is…

Seven of Pentacles – It’s important that you choose what you want to focus on over the long haul.  If you spend all of your time focused upon the negative, then over time, that’s what you grow in your heart, your mind, and your life as a whole.  Take time to see the wonder and beauty in the world, allow yourself to be open to the positive even during the most difficult times, and you will allow the seeds of positivity to germinate in the soil of your personal winter.

Mr Lionhart’s #TheNovemberTarot Elemental Tarot Challenge
Questions for November 7th and 8th

Oracle Reading with the Enchanted Map Oracle

What can I do to enhance my day-to-day life with more comfort?

Dragon’s Lair – It’s not comfort that you need right now, but rather to mix things up and dive into the excitement of challenge and adventure. See the upcoming holiday rush as a quest, instead of as a burden.

How can I best invest in myself for the long-term?

Commitment – Connect with others and allow them to connect with you. Accept their offers of help without restraint, as they are offering out of love and this sharing in your burden is a building block to greater bonds between you and others.

How can I connect with nature for a greater sense of grounding?

Heal the Ouch – Get your ass out in nature as much as you can. It’s through your connection with the forests and the trees that you find your greatest healing magic. In order to take advantage of this, you need to actually go wander among the trees and lie under their boughs so that your roots can tangle with theirs.

Winter Meditation Tarot Reading

 Winter Meditation Tarot Reading with the Traditional Manga Tarot

Hibernate – Judgement – Not everything has to have an end goal, and with those things that do, you need to be looking at the now instead of where you plan to end up. Trust yourself to stay on path without constant diligent concentration on your goals this winter.

Contemplate – Ace of Cup – Instead of burying your emotions as you usually do each holiday rush, this time try and keep them on the surface so that you can spend some time considering them and familiarizing yourself with them.

Protect – Nine of Cups atop King of Wands – Keep in touch with that spark that drives you forward towards your goals. It’s not always about seeing the end of the line and keeping it in sight, but rather wallowing in the excitement and spark of creativity this time of year can allow you to experience.

Let Go – The Magician Rx – You’ve had a lot of experience this year and feeling helpless and powerless. It’s time to set those experiences (and feelings that surfaced as a result) aside and reclaim your power and autonomy.

Mr Lionhart’s Elemental Tarot Challenge
Questions for November 4th thru 6th

Lionhart's Challenge Lenormand Reading with the Urban Incantations Lenormand and Zodiac Oracle

How can I practice more mindful and intentional living?

Sun and Virgo – Find joy in organization and a more systematic and logical approach to life. Notice more and enjoy those things your attention is drawn to instead of disregarding them. Small joys are important.

What obstacles do I need to be aware of?

Fish and Libra – It can sometimes be difficult to resist going with the flow in social situations. Don’t allow peer pressure to cause you to spend when you should hold back, though. There are consequences that come with going with the group instead of listening to your own needs.

How can I turn my obstacles into opportunities?

Coffin and Capricorn – Look at the endings in your life with a practical eye. See the opportunities that come in the wake of loss.

What is contributing positively to my life right now?

Birds and Gemini – Communication and friends. Remember that while having others around you may sometimes feel chaotic, they also lift you up and breathe new life into how you experience the world.
