New Moon in Taurus Oracle Reading with The Bloodlands Oracle

CLEARING – What burning ache is it time to let heal?

Anthelion (Spirit) – You need to work on not worrying so much about upcoming changes so that you can flow with the changes more easily instead of trying to resist them when they arrive. Stop worrying that whatever changes coming are going to be catastrophic, for even if it is, you will recover from it and move on. It won’t be the end.

TRANSITIONAL PAUSE – Where do I have momentum to carry me forward with ease?

Crossroads (Air) – Instead of balking at changes, whether they be gradual or forced upon you in chaos, try to remember to look upon these shifts as new opportunities to seize upon that in the end could lead to something even better.

NEW SEEDS – How can I cultivate abundance in my own life and for others?

The River (Water) – Keep moving. Stagnancy is not your friend. This is why working to go with the flow of change rather than fighting against it is such an important part of growth. You harness the immense power and energy of change to your benefit when you go with the flow instead of resisting.

LIGHT IN THE DARKNESS – What self-indulgence is tonic for my weary soul?

The Dolman (Earth) – Ruminating on good memories that you have built into your history in the more recent past, rather than on the harder and more painful ones of your more distant past, can help to ease your soul when you are feeling “tight” and worn through.

PLANETARY BOON – How can I nurture the beauty in my world?

The Lightning Strike (Fire) – Keep in mind that cataclysm ultimately results in growth. If shit’s gonna hit the fan, go with it and let that shit become fertilizer for what you grow out of the rubble after everything else has fallen.

New Moon advice from the Minoan Goddess Amalthea.

The Old Bridge (Earth) – Long-standing and trusted friendships are your ally at this time. Keep them close and appreciate their presence in your life.

What is blocking my prosperity?

Page of Wands Rx – This has to do with not just actual prosperity in the monetary sense, but also with the feeling of prosperity. Even the poorest can feel wealthy in their own way… but at the moment you are being blocked from finding that feeling. That blockage comes from a current lack of enthusiasm and inspiration to try new things.

Where am I playing too small?

Three of Pentacles atop Nine of Swords – It’s okay to share your worries and concerns with those you trust. There’s no need to hold back. They won’t use these things against you.  Instead, by sharing those worries and concerns with them, they can help you in finding solutions.

What past financial situations do I need to forgive myself for?

The Fool – Frivolous spending is a part of nearly everyone’s early years. It’s one of those life lessons we all have to learn, and you are no different.

What untapped well of wealth have I been ignoring?

Queen of Cups – Allowing others to support and nurture you on an emotional level can lift you up and make even situations of extreme scarcity seem less dire. Stop trying to keep your need for that support and nurturing to yourself and instead seek it out from those you trust.

Where can I be more fiscally responsible?

Eight of Wands Rx – Continue to slow down on your spending. There are other places yet that you can pull back.

New Moon advice from the Minoan Goddess Amalthea.

The High Priestess – The knowledge and guidance you need right now is already within you. Lean into seeking advice through your intuition rather than through your logical mind.

What is blocking my prosperity?

Queen of Swords Rx – Negative inner narratives that beat you down and emasculate you emotionally and physically are blocking your prosperity not just in aspects of monetary wealth, but in the abundance possible in all areas of life. These are echoes from the past that pierced the skin and burrowed deep, and still require more healing.

Where am I playing too small?

Ace of Wands – You should be encouraging that inner spark of creativity and the joy it gives you to set it free. Stop smothering it.

What past financial situations do I need to forgive myself for?

Six of Pentacles – Taking help when it is offered is a bruise on the ego, but you need to allow yourself understanding in this area. Those that helped you when you needed it have forgotten all about it, so stop holding it over your own head.

What untapped well of wealth have I been ignoring?

Eight of Pentacles – You’ve spent a very long time honing your skills when it comes to your craft, specifically in the creation of beautiful jewelry. You have the ability to not just make money at this, but to truly enjoy the process as well.

Where can I be more fiscally responsible?

The Star Rx – Self-medicating through spending may make you feel good in the moment when your hope is depleted and you’re feeling down and disconnected, but it creates a bigger problem in the process.

New Moon advice from the Minoan Goddess Amalthea.

The High Priestess Rx – Your connection with your intuition is taking a hit lately while you were going through your depression. It’s time to start reconnecting.
