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 @auragami.la
A powerful reset in your daily life
Seven of Pentacles – You are in the process of learning how to allow things to move at their own pace instead of constantly pushing them forward with unreasonable demands and expectations. This change will allow you to take more time for the things you truly enjoy, and see life less as a race and more as a journey of growth and development.
The desire to simplify, organize, and create more structure
The Lovers – It’s time to look more closely at those things you continue to tend in your life that aren’t suited to you. Whether bad habits or self destructive behaviors, this moon’s cycle offers you a chance to objectively look at what these things are doing for you and how they are holding you back.
A stronger awareness of where your time and energy are going
Four of Cups – Where are you wasting time resisting others and holding yourself apart? Consider how life might be different and/or easier if you were connecting more closely, and what things might make those closer connections problematic. Your interactions with others need work in order to smooth out moments of resistance and rectify unhealthy patterns.
A renewed focus on health, healing and overall well-being
The Emperor Rx – Your focus on everyone else’s well-being is restricting you from taking better care of yourself. You are allowed to give yourself the care and attention needed. The needs of others can wait while you do that.
Clarity around what needs to be refined, released or improved
Refine – Guide – Consider examining more closely who and what you are listening to. Hone in on those you really want to follow or align with, instead of just allowing yourself to be pulled in multiple directions.
Release – Rooted – Consciously make the choice to get out in nature more instead of trying to ground yourself through “shortcut” means. Plants need soil, and so do you.
Improve – Keeper – Remember that the only person you are truly responsible for is yourself. Take time to enjoy and sink into the little wonders in the world instead of sacrificing these things to the demands of responsiblies and the needs of others.
New Moon advice from the Minoan Goddess Amalthea
Page of Pentacles atop Four of Pentacles Rx – Make sure you are focusing on your new understanding of stability (developing one’s sea legs) and balance (the tip and sway of scales) through movement. Don’t get sucked back into your outdated views of stability and balance as still or stagnant. You are learning, at this time, how to incorporate this new understanding into your life.
