🌑 New Moon in Aquarius – January 2022

On Monday 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 about the medicine within, and brought to you by Ethony‘s Tarot by the Moon series.

New Moon in Aquarius Reading - The Citadel Deck

How can I detach from any lingering issues or energies from the past?

The Hunter – Remember that what is going to work for others is not necessarily going to work for you, and that’s okay.  You are unique, and that’s okay.  Give yourself permission to be different and don’t worry all that much (or at all) about the judgements of others, either from your past or in your present.

How can I be more of a spiritual rebel?

The Sailor – Make sure as you shift perspective you are seeking healthy choices moving forward. You seek ways to connect with Amalthea. Look for options that both satiate and inspire. Allow yourself to explore options and find what fits and feels right.

How can I be more impactful with my vision?

The Walker and The Champion – The project you are working on in your home is heavy with change.  Look forward and let your enthusiasm shine for the transition to come.  Make sure that you finish the job, though.  Don’t pause half way through and end up distracted, or it will all fall apart like a house of cards.

Where in my life can I have more fun?

The Poet and The Forgotten – Be yourself.  This is an odd response, as you are so very often yourself on so many levels, and yet these cards resoundingly speak of being yourself.  Set aside masks and fear of rejection or being hurt, and be yourself.  Those that are worth keeping in your social circle crave the true you and will not reject you for loosening up and letting your inner self free.

What can I do to support my visions and goals?

The Summoner – Own your mistakes and learn from them. Connect with others to garner their help, but remember that in doing so you also need to learn to better communicate and associate with them.  They aren’t tools, they’re people.  Treat them as such.  (Bake a raspberry cake for the neighbor to say thank you.)

DECK USED: THE CITADEL DECK

❤️ Self Care Saturday (On a Sunday)

These Saturday readings are (not usually) bearing in on any one thing or event in my life, as the question used is asking for a more general outlook. This is a self care exercise, and is not meant as a predictive reading… although that, too, happens on occasion.

The question is… What do I need to focus for self-care through the week ahead?

Tharbon I Tarocchi, Yoru No Sumi-e Dark Edition, The Citadel Deck

EarthQuattro di Bastoni and Surprise – Find the secret pleasures that reside in house and home. Also, be ready for unexpected visitors in your personal space this week.

AirSette di Coppe atop Re di Denari, Victory – Putting away the past isn’t as difficult as you think if you are properly grounded and determined to make it happen.

WaterFante di Denari, Betrayal atop Choice – You may find someone you perceive as dependable doing the unexpected this week. You have a choice on if you see this aberrant behavior as a betrayal or not tho.

FireRe di Spade and Patience – Everything takes time, and that includes your well-established goals. Don’t let your passion and ambition turn you to impatience.

WaningThe Witch and The Waker – Step away from the new and different when it comes to your self care. Tried and true methods are what you need right now.

WaxingThe Scholar and The Hier – Stay open. Seize control of your path and allow yourself to be open to all possible potential and outcomes this week.

Take Away – Most of this feels like it’s about finding balance again, although there are a few warnings in here about visitors and the unexpected that encourage taking a pause instead of reacting immediately.  Look for the boon hiding in these unexpected moments instead of allowing your pessimism to reign.
