Tomorrow night 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 @joinamandasophia
What am I ready to welcome into my life right now?
Four of Coins atop Eight of Swords – You aren’t feeling particularly ready or welcoming to anything right now. Honestly? You just want to stick your head in the sand and pretend everything is at status quo.
What no longer feels aligned with who l am becoming?
Ace of Wands – You’re feeling particularly uninspired recently, and as a result are worried that that inner spark of creativity within you is sputtering out. You don’t want this misalignment to create a situation where you end up diverted off your chosen path.
What habits or beliefs am I ready to shift or release?
Five of Cups – As you recover from your recent depressive episode, you are trying to shed the dark inner narratives and pessimism that have managed to continue to linger on.
Where do I feel called to begin again?
The Star – You feel the need to connect more strongly with your positivity work, and use it to make the rungs on the ladder less slippery as you climb out of depression’s pit.
What does my soul truly desire in this next cycle?
Seven of Wands – Your soul craves the freedom to stop worrying over how your decisions and actions affect others, believing that you will then be able to be even more authentically yourself.
How can I stay open to possibility and expansion?
Ace of Swords – Communicate your needs. It’s easier to be open to growth and change when your needs are clearly communicated and heard.
Where am I being asked to trust more deeply?
Ace of Coins Rx – It’s okay to pass new opportunities by now and then. Trust in what you already have begun and are working with. No new opportunities are needed for you to have all that you need and live a happy life.
How can I be more intentional with my time, energy, and attention?
King of Cups – Stop giving yourself such a hard time about your mistakes, and be supportive instead.
What would it look like to honor the whispers of my intuition right now?
Queen of Cups – “What he said,” as the Queen glances to the King beside her.
New Moon advice from the Minoan Goddess Amalthea.
Eight of Wands – Now is the time for movement and action. No dawdling. Success lies in your ability to catch and ride the wave.
