New Moon in Aries Tarot Reading with the Black Lily Tarot

How can I shape my life to align with my true desires?

Knight of Pentacles (The Killer and the Lioness) – Take time to gather the allies you need. It’s a long journey to reach your end goals, both in time and distance. Having those along with you that can share in your interests and have your back along the way make the effort (and the wait) far more satisfying.

Where do I need to assert myself to feel emotionally secure?

Seven of Cups (The Hedger and the Octopus) – Autonomy and independence make you feel secure. When you give up your choices to others, it weakens that sense of emotional security you get from making the decisions yourself. Part of this is because you’re choosing to not think about things, which is killing that little clever and curious spark within you little by little through giving up your choices to others.

What new experiences will heighten my self-confidence?

The Moon (The Avoider and the Scorpion) – Confront your fears head on. Don’t worry so much about the bumps and bruises you may gather along the way. You have been blowing the possible consequences out of proportion of late, when considering your options. Worry less, act more.

What courageous action do I need to take to achieve my goals?

Seven of Wands (The Fuckboy and the Dragon) – Remember that you don’t have to take on every challenge that crosses your path. Not even the ones that are directed at you. Sometimes it takes more courage to snort with an eye roll and walk away, then it does to open your mouth or engage in battle.

How can I handle conflict effectively?

Eight of Swords (The Princess and the Swan) – Keep your eyes open and your mouth shut. You will learn more (including how to get yourself out of sticky situations) by listening than engaging. Just stay quiet. The knowledge you glean will become useful when it’s needed.

What is my highest intention for my personal power?

Nine of Pentacles (The Resting Woman and the Seabird) – You seek to look back at the end of the day with satisfaction, and in doing so feel as if your rest is well-deserved.

New Moon advice from the Minoan Goddess Amalthea.

Princess of Swords (The Ballerina and the Moths) – Keep a close eye on your addictions and remember that mistakes happen. Just do what you can and stay aware of your tendency to be drawn toward those things that are dangerous for you or unhealthy.

Other elements included in this reading:
Goat Charm as Sympathetic Representation of Amalthea
Staghorn Sumac for Connecting with Nature and the Wild Within
Banded Brown Agate Mushroom for Grounding and Stabilization
Flower Agate for Opening the Mind to New Possibilities

Full Moon in Libra Tarot Reading with the Cucoloris Tarot Regular Edition

Where have I been saying yes when I mean no?

The Hanged Man – When you are being given a chance to pause and consider, or the opportunity to seize that chance, a lot of times you end up just shrugging and going along rather than even checking in with yourself beyond your moral compass to see if you actually have a preference.

Instead, consider if you actually -have- a preference and there’s something you want out of the situation or options available. You did a bit of this on your trip last week and they adjusted for you. Keep it up!

What do I need from my closest relationships that I haven’t asked for?

Six of Cups – You need more nostalgia time. You depend on those around you to help you with keeping your memories from disappearing due to head injury/memory loss issues. Prompt them to talk about your shared past more, and wander down memory lane together more often.

Even those memories that are only stories now, and you can no longer access in your mind’s eye as actual memories, are valuable and allow you to see yourself and your growth in a different light.

If I loved myself the way I love others, what would I do differently?

The Fool – Allow time for more fun and frivolity. Let yourself be less serious, and seek out the things you enjoy more. Allow responsibility to take the back seat now and then without guilt or self-recrimination.

You spend too much of your time “keeping yourself in line” when what you really need is to let go and just enjoy life more.

Full Moon advice from the Minoan Goddess Amalthea.

Seven of Pentacles atop Ten of Swords – Sometimes things don’t work out, no matter how much time you put in or how hard you work at them. If the roots are dead… then the plant is dead, and there can be no resuscitation, just replacement.

You can’t squeeze blood from stone, no matter how hard you try. You can start over, though, and grow something fruitful from the ashes, if you’re willing to try again.

Other elements included in this reading:
Staghorn Sumac for Connecting with Nature and the Wild Within
Bird Figurine for Fostering Hope, Positivity, and Renewal
Carnelian Agate for Inner Drive and Focusing On Aspirations
Selenite for Purification and drawing in Positive Energy

New Moon in Pisces Tarot Reading with the Tarocchino Arlecchino

What does emotional peace look like for me right now?

Le Balet d’Epee atop Le Dix de Baton Rx – Peace right now looks like security. It’s essentially what you feel like you don’t have right now… and it’s worth considering that maybe that is what it -always- looks like; that thing you quietly long for that you don’t have in the moment the question is asked.

That is to say that in this moment, peace looks like everything going well and lots of resources to go around while you sit on the sidelines and supervise from a place where you can go unnoticed.

What needs to change in my life?

Le Diable Rx – You need to take a more active roll in brushing off the languor and desire to languish that your last depressive episode has left behind. More movement is needed. Allowing the depression to linger by indulging in behaviors that promote stagnancy is going to keep you stuck in that haze you are struggling to escape from.

What in my life feels like it’s coming to an end?

Le Sept de Denier – Long fought for stability.

You feel like the efforts of your past and the rewards garnered along the way are crumbling beneath your feet. You worked long and hard to get where you are, but even all of that work and effort that you’ve put in can’t save you from moments of instability and uncertainty.

How can I show myself more self love and compassion?

Le Huit de Denier Rx – When you don’t change up how you do things, you just set yourself up to repeat the same mistakes and re-experience the same frustrations all over again. Look at past patterns that don’t serve you (with people, with methods and/or techniques, with practices) and move in a different direction instead of repeating them.

New Moon advice from the Minoan Goddess Amalthea.

Le Neuf d’Epee Rx – You are allowing your fears to have too much sway over your emotions and your actions. Confront your fears and break free.

Other elements included in this reading:
Dried Purple Heather Sprigs for Independence and Luck
Goat Figure as Sympathetic Representation of Amalthea
Selenite for Purification and drawing in Positive Energy

Full Moon in Virgo Tarot Reading with the Beautiful Creatures Tarot

Where can I offer myself grace?

King of Swords Rx – You spend a great deal of time leaning into the logical. At times, this means that you aren’t giving yourself enough room for your emotions and intuition to also have some space. Not everything can be logical all the time, so consider trying to let go of trying to keep it that way.

How can I be less critical this Full Moon?

The Paranormal – In the fall, you lean into your mediumship abilities… and then the rest of the year comes, and you have a tendency to try and lean away from them. Stop trying to pick everything apart in order to try and discount your experiences.

What health and wellness areas need attention?

Queen of Swords Rx – You need to buckle down on the methods that work to shut down that “mean girl” inner narrative you have going on. Your negative self talk has gotten a bit out of control lately.

What area of my life needs reorganizing?

Eight of Swords – It’s time to stop ignoring the problems, and instead start paying attention and strategizing your way out of the danger zone.

What repressed desire needs to be honored during this eclipse?

Knight of Swords Rx – Lean into not pushing yourself so hard right now. Let go of your overzealous and unreasonable expectations for yourself.

Full Moon advice from the Minoan Goddess Amalthea.

The Star – YES to getting back on the horse where your optimism and positivity practices are concerned. Do it!

New Moon in Aquarius Tarot Reading with the Honey & Lavender Tarot

Do some creative problem-solving & keep your heart open to paths you didn’t plan on taking – Life may throw something unexpected your way. How can you connect with putting your trust in the process?

Strength – Keep quiet and watch over what matters most to you. You don’t have to say anything. You don’t have to do anything. At this time, just being a silent witness will be enough to ensure safety and security.

This is innovative, rebellious, & visionary energy encouraging fresh starts and personal freedom. What can you do to make it easier on yourself to set open-ended intentions that aren’t so specific or rigid?

Seven of Swords – Look further into the future than the present moment and current experience. Open-ended intentions without a rigid definition are easier to make when they are connected to something further in the future than just tomorrow. Start with these long-term type of perspectives when seeking to set open-ended intentions, and then you can start working into closer and more present goals and intentions as the practice becomes more familiar and comfortable.

You may be guided towards unexpected experiences that support growth, even if the full picture is still unclear. How can you hold trust that it’s all designed to align you with a deeper authenticity?

The Star – Your optimism practices are important. You need to keep it up even when you aren’t really feeling it. Fostering hope sometimes takes more effort and time than you might anticipate, but it’s worth it. It allows you to add a more positive outlook to life in general, and that then begins to permeate through the darker spaces in your head even without you realizing it.

This is a perfect time to connect, collaborate, & make bold moves for social change. In what ways can you carry this energy forward into working with your community?

Two of Wands – Keep an eye on feedback from others as to where they want to go as a community. It’s not all about you and what you want. At the same time? It is about how much you can handle, so don’t take on more than you can chew just because a minority tries to take advantage of your willingness to please.

Uranus, the planet of change, is active, so expect the unexpected. How can you use this time to break free from outdated patterns & beliefs that no longer serve you?

Page of Pentacles – Stay open to learning new things, new skills, and new methods. A lot of times, the learning experience helps you work through changes and transitions without you even realizing what’s happening. It can just gradually shift you from one pattern to another a little at a time.

Eclipses are said to open new pathways & powerful new beginnings. In what way can you use this eclipse’s spirit of reinvention to close off old timelines and open new ones?

Five of Pentacles – Look at where your hardships lie, and use this time during the New Moon and its accompanying eclipse to ask for help in turning these hardships around into something healthier and more in-line with your wants and needs.

New Moon advice from the Minoan Goddess Amalthea.

Page of Wands – Be open to new pathways and experiences. Even in those things you’re an old-hand in, there’s new aspects to be explored as long as you stay open to it.

Other elements included in this reading:
Goat Figure as Sympathetic Representation of Amalthea
Japanese Cherry Leaf as a Reminder of Life’s Fleeting Moments
Foraged Acorns for Protection during New Beginnings
Gneiss Stone for Patience in Moments of Discomfort
Rose Quartz for Gentle Kindness to Self and Others

Full Moon in Leo Tarot Reading with the William Blake Tarot Revised Edition

Card to represent my energy.

Five of Painting (Pentacles) – Depleted and struggling. You are not at the top of your game right now and although you’re trying to show your “game face”, it’s starting to wear on you more and more.

What emotions are ready to burst out this Full Moon?

The Sun (landed a top the Five of Painting) – The pressure to do well and succeed feels like it continues to mount, even though you’re not getting anywhere. Not all of this pressure is external, but some of it is. Some of it is internal as well.

How can I release these feelings with empathy?

Ten of Science (Swords) Rx – Don’t give up. Your hands may be bound and it may be frustrating, but it’s not quite the end of the road. You’re holding on by your fingernails, and you need to focus on eradicating the emotions of desperation you feel by being more understanding with yourself and what’s going on with you.

Where does my inner child want to roar this Full Moon?

Nature (The Empress) – The weather has been conducive for getting out in nature, so you need to explore why you haven’t been taking advantage of this opportunity. Time in nature can provide you with a sense of nurturing that you need right now and aren’t otherwise getting.

What does this Leo energy want to teach me during the Full Moon?

Angel of Science (Page of Swords) Rx – Be selfish. It’s okay to sometimes make it all about you and what you want, as long as it doesn’t become your modus operandi.

Full Moon advice from the Minoan Goddess Amalthea.

Error (The Devil) – Take a close look at where you’re falling into temptation. Use the energy of this full moon to pull yourself from the edge of these temptations and their draw before you fall over it.

Goat Figurine as Sympathetic Representation of Amalthea
