What have I been avoiding that I need to face?

Wheel of Fortune Rx – Shit happens, and you’re not as prepared as could (or perhaps should) be. You need to sit down and make a plan on how to prepare for those things you know are coming down the line… and for those things that might just spring up and slap you in the face by surprise as well.

What secrets need to come into the light?

Four of Candy Canes – Your home is a lot less put together than you want to admit, and it messes with your sense of comfort and  homecoming. You really need to get yourself another housekeeper to help out in keeping things up to the standard that makes you comfortable and happy.

What conversation needs to be had?

Two of Icicles atop Four of Cookies – Your “sense of security” needs to know that you still choose him. Talk with him and assure him that he is what you need.

Where do I need to take decisive action that I’ve been putting off?

King of Cookies – You can only self-destruct so long before you need to rebuild your empire. It’s time to let responsibility toward your work and finances to take the forefront.

What shadow aspect requires integration?

Queen of Mugs – Instead of sinking into disappointment with yourself, give yourself and your emotions the nurturing comfort that they need. No need to be harsh and judgmental.

New Moon advice from the Minoan Goddess Amalthea.

Ace of Cups atop Seven of Mugs Rx – The road forward doesn’t have as many distractions as you think. Orient yourself towards what your emotions and intuition say is right at this time.

What bad habit need to be kicked to the curb?

Wailing Tree – As recently pointed out in another reading that was done the other day, it’s time to examine where you are holding on to things from your past that need to be let go and begin releasing your resentment in these areas.  Forgive yourself, and consider softening harsh feelings towards others that were involved. These feelings are harming you far more than they are harming those others.

What positive steps can I take instead?

The Farther Gate – Step beyond your pain and resentment. Take the first step in moving past these issues. That first step can be much harder than you think, but is well worth it to find freedom from that ugliness you hold onto.

Where can I bring some adventure into my life?

A Tidy House – Who needs adventure? Get your ducks in a row and your safe space sorted instead. Only after you have this sorted will you be ready for “adventure”.

What needs shaking up?

Closing Door – That project that you’ve been feeling is decreasing in its margin of success? Don’t close that door just yet. Set it aside for a while, and come back to it later when you have some extra time to commit to it.

New Moon advice from the Minoan Goddess Amalthea.

The Wall atop Root Girl – Dig deep into yourself to find the strength to move past obstacles this month. There will be plenty of them to stand in your path, but if you stay calm and dig deep within yourself for direction and answers, you will move through  each obstacle without fail.

What have I been avoiding that I need to face?

Ace of Pentacles – It’s time to turn over a new leaf with your financial responsibilities. There’s things you need to prepare for and now is the time to start.

What secrets need to come into the light?

Ace of Swords – Take time to examine what secrets you are holding that, once aired, could provide you with a greater sense of clarity and direction. It’s time for those secrets to be openly shared.

What conversation needs to be had?

King of Cups – This isn’t a specific conversation, but rather that you need to seek out emotional support through conversation with Gideon and others that can provide you a sense of security.

Where do I need to take decisive action that I’ve been putting off?

Justice – It’s all cause and effect here. If you want to succeed, you have to put in the work in order to do so. Avoidance will have unpleasant consequences.

What shadow aspect requires integration?

Four of Swords – Stop judging yourself so harshly for needing rest and recuperation.

New Moon advice from the Minoan Goddess Amalthea.

King of Swords – “Watch your tongue.” Take care that your words inspire others instead of cutting them down.

New Moon in Libra Tarot Reading with the Sacred Sisterhood Tarot

What is my sensual side craving?

The Tower – Disruption. Intensity. The tearing down of self for the chaos of being overwhelmed. My sensual side is craving the take down dynamic and the resulting drowning in all that intensity that is a part of the process.

Where can I be more romantic?

Queen of Coins – Make time for more than your work. Home (aka Gideon) is also in need of your attention. Only when you give him what he needs will things feel more balanced again as a whole.

What needs rekindling?

Two of Coins – This reflects back to the previous question and speaks of a need to reestablish balance. In the previous question it has already been pointed out that in order to find that balance you need more time with Gideon.

How can I be more tender with myself?

Ace of Coins – You spent the summer avoiding grounding with the earth and the connection that you have there due to a myriad of inconveniences. Your body craves a new beginning in this area, and you need to dig your toes into the soil already.

New Moon advice from the Minoan Goddess Amalthea.

Four of Wands – Reconnect with those things that you enjoy and that “call you home” to a sense of completion, inspiration, and stability.

Where should I focus my energy this season?

Poppy – You need to focus your energy on letting go of regrets, recriminations, and other unhelpful self-talk and emotions that can only get in the way of you continuing to move forward in a healthy way.

What needs re-evaluation?

Cherry – Where are you neglecting yourself and what do you need to do to step up in this area? In the lull between your last project and your next big one, you need to take time to realign and find balance again.

Where do I need to get more organized?

Feverfew – Look at your schedule and get better organized with your time. There are people who need some of your time and attention who are not getting what they need, but by taking some time to re-organize your schedule you can better make sure they are getting that time with you.

What is just a distraction that I need to ignore?

Mustard – Your fears that you are weak and incapable are unfounded. In truth you are strong and capable of far more than you could ever imagine.

What project would benefit from my full attention?

Strawberry – Be generous with those that need your time and are feeling the scarcity of your attention. Make them feel as if their cups are full.

New Moon advice from the Minoan Goddess Amalthea.

Verbena – Take some time to rest, breathe, and make a nice with yourself.

New Moon in Leo Oracle Reading with the Normal Tarot (oracle deck)

What do I need to purge in my life?

The Summer Knight III – Righteousness. Keep in mind that warm and understanding connects you with others far better than righteousness and indignation.

What is draining my energy?

The Book of War – You are too focused on victory, when you need to be focused on the moment at hand. Spend more time doing, and less time planning.

Where do I need to spark play into my life?

The Autumn Queen – Into the every day. Fun and play doesn’t have to be something that’s a special occasion, but instead can be incorporated into your life and activities as part and parcel of the things you do each day.

What relationships need examining?

The Waning Crescent atop The Sorceress – This is not about one particular relationship but rather about making sure that you pay attention to what has happened in the past and remember that people often don’t change, they just appear too. Look to the past for the knowledge you need to know what’s going on in the present.

Where do I need to speak my truth?

The Book of Secrets – You have a clever mind, and it and it would benefit yourself and others to share this more with others rather than keeping these thoughts to yourself. Don’t worry if your ideas are good or not, because they are.

New Moon advice from the Minoan Goddess Amalthea.

The Summer Lady atop The Caretaker – You need to put more focus and passion into taking care of yourself. Self-care is a learning process for you. You can do it. You just have to pay attention to your needs and make sure they are being met instead of punishing yourself by denying yourself those things.
