Our 2024 Lunar New Year Reading was pulled in a Celtic Cross Spread. 

I also used The Crystal Power Tarot by Jayne Wallance for crystal insights to work with

under this lunar portal, or throughout the next lunar year.

Foundational Card: PAGE OF SWORDS

“I TAKE CARE OF THE DETAIL, AND STAY IN CONTROL”

Make sure you take care of past affairs and get all of the details of your future dreams in order.  We are in a portal of both endings and beginnings, and you don’t want things lingering or hanging around that impact your energy.  There is transformation ahead, and you want to be fully open and ready for what’s to come!

SUGGESTED STONE: AMETRINE

A mixture of amethyst and citrine, this stone helps enhance our confidence around our intuition and “trusting our gut”.

What’s Coming Across | What Will Cross Us: TEMPERANCE

It’s auspicious that we pull the card of a woman pouring water under this Aquarius New Moon!  TEMPERANCE encourages us to stay calm and patient in the process.  The water on this card, both the water the woman stands in and the water she pours from, represent time.  We may have many dreams and aspirations right now, but The Universe is telling us to stay balanced and patient as we wait for all of it to arrive.  Tend to your emotions and your energy right away at the beginning of this lunar year, so you are more equipped to handle whatever comes in the future.

SUGGESTED STONE: BLUE CALCITE

This stone helps calm energy and ease anxieties, a great stone to work with when trying to enhance patience!

How Do We Ground or Root In: SEVEN OF CUPS (REVERSED)

“I TRUST MYSELF TO SEE THE TRUTH”

Anytime we pull cards in reverse, it’s a protection message.  Usually the 7 of cups represent mystery, but when we find it reversed we already know the truth.  Perhaps we’re in denial about something or we’re struggling to see the truest nature of something or someone.  The SEVEN OF CUPS REVERSED asks us to let go of any personal attachments and accept the truth as is.  Remember, The Page of Swords arrive in the beginning of this reading to warn us to pay attention to detail.  Make sure you see through the smoke and mirrors anyone is trying to throw at you.

SUGGESTED STONE: AQUAMARINE

This is one of the stones related to Aquarius energy, and a great stone to work with under this Aquarius New Moon.  This air sign detaches with ease, so use Aquamarine anytime you need to release with ease.

Lesson We Have Already Learned: THE WHEEL OF FORTUNE

“I TRUST WHATEVER THE UNIVERSE BRINGS ME”

We already know that while we do have free will, The Universe has a way of checking us and keeping us in the proper direction.  THE WHEEL OF FORTUNE represents karmic action and Divine intervention.  If things do not go your way or as expected, trust that the redirect is for your greatest good.  Going back to the Temperance card, we may have some unexpected delays in our pursuits this year, or we may have something happen that either halts us in our tracks or puts us on a different trajectory.  Whatever happens in your future, trust that you are where you need to be.

SUGGESTED STONE: GREEN AVENTURINE

This stone balances our chakras and our energy in general.  Work with this stone when you’re trying to trust in the balance of your life, or when you’re working toward feeling more harmony and peace.

Highest Lesson, Achievement, or Wisdom Coming: TEN OF CUPS

“I HAVE ALL I WISH FOR IN MY RELATIONSHIPS"

The number “10” represents a sense of completion and new beginnings.  You are working this year to feel more complete and by the next Lunar New Year you may find yourself fully in this wholeness you’re working toward.  Going back to The Page of Swords, remember to pay attention to the details of your social interactions and energetic exchanges, so you continue to align with pure energy.  If you continue to trust your intuition, you’ll find yourself surrounded by an inner circle you feel good about and you’ll have a network that supports you more than you could’ve imagined!  Take note of your relationships this next year.  Only focus your true energy on who and what aligns what your spirit.

SUGGESTED STONE: AQUAMARINE

This is the second time this stone has arrived in our reading, this time with a card upright.

I believe we are being called to work with this stone in multiple ways.  Perhaps you use this stone to build strong relationships that uplift the greater good, or you find a network of people to enhance your healing.  Use Aquamarine during this lunar cyclle and anytime over this next year when you feel called.

What is Around the Corner?  THE HANGED MAN

“I CAN SEE THIS SITUATION ANOTHER WAY”

Similar to the Temperance card, THE HANGED MAN represents hanging around for results.  Your dreams are probably not going to come true right away.  There are multiple schools of thought when it comes to the recent shift of Pluto in Aquarius, and I’m on the train of belief that this is the LAST year of hard knocks before we truly shift.  Don’t worry—the astrology of 2024 doesn’t look anything like the chaos of 2023, and we will likely have great support as we journey through these next 13 moons.  Just don’t expect your results at the end of this year to be related to your initial intentions.  With the Wheel of Fortune in this reading and Aquarius energy influencing, we are likely to start doing things differently at some point.  Let yourself go where the flow takes you, and trust that the shift is where you need to be.

SUGGESTED STONE: SELENITE

The stone of the moon, Selenite helps to both cleanse and charge our energy.  You might want to keep this stone on you throughout the next 13 moons to work with your crystal grids, your altars, or to simply charge or purify your energy.

Extra Cards for Insight:  THREE, FIVE, SIX, NINE OF SWORDS

You can’t make this up!  I shuffled the deck 4 times, split it 4 more, and I even pulled the 4 cards from different places in the stack!  If we weren’t sure with our Page of Swords Theme card, these four cards now arrive to show us that SWORDS are the theme of this lunar year!

We cannot grow if we are tethered down.  We cannot be our whole, complete self if we do not set boundaries.  Make sure you take action when you need to cut ties this year, or when you need to set limits and say “NO”.

SUGGESTED STONE: SUGALITE

This is the stone that shows up for all 4 of the swords cards pulled, so I think it’s safe to say we should work with this stone!  Sugalite helps you maintain momentum while also holding perspective.  Use this stone throughout the next 13 moons as you make the necessary changes you need in order to grow and evolve.

Here are the following messages for each sword card:

THREE OF SWORDS-“I SEE THINGS EXACTLY AS THEY ARE”

Between the Page of Swords, the Reversed Seven of Cups, and now this THREE OF SWORDS, we are definitely being told to pay attention.  We can longer stick our heads in the sand and be ignorant of what’s happening around us, both in our personal lives and on the collective.  It’s time to restructure our relationships and no longer give energy to those who don’t ethically align with us.  It’s also time to set boundaries around what our heart can no longer handle.  This card points to relationships more than anything else, and you may see quite the shift in who you network with and surround yourself with in this next year.

FIVE OF SWORDS-“I WILL HEAL MYSELF”

Sovereignty is the theme of both this Aquarius New Moon and the entire Lunar Year.  When we bring in the number “5,” we’re being called to the growth of truly stepping into our power.  The swords on this card are pointing down, asking us to root into whatever practices and “medicine” we need in order to heal ourselves.  This may be with your physical health, mental wellness, or emotional stability.  Use this lunar portal to start setting boundaries so you have time to focus on yourself and become the person you truly desire to step into.

SIX OF SWORDS-“I KNOW THAT PEACEFUL TIMES WILL COME”

The number “6” represents both family and community.  The Six of Swords in our reading refers to our relationships, and how we may need to find distance from some of them.  The shift may not be easy, as letting go always brings in a sensation of grief, so if the changes you go through this year feel emotionally challenging, give yourself the grace and time you need to process. Both The Temperance and The Hanged Man cards have arrived in our reading to encourage patience.  Let yourself take as long as you need to adjust yourself, and set the intention to situate yourself into a state of peace more than anything else this year.

NINE OF SWORDS-“I TRUST THE PRESENT MOMENT”

We are under the influence of Aquarius more than ever now, and with the air element of the mind ruling, we might be overthinking things.  If you’re feeling anxiety or overwhelm right now, or really anytime in the future, come back to the other messages from cards in this reading that remind you to stay calm and present.  “9” is a number of both endings and beginnings, and its the perfect card to wrap up our reading for the next 13 moons.  This next year is all about tending to our relationships, getting our minds right, and reclaiming any energy we’ve unnecessarily given away.  The more we come back to a sense of wholeness within ourselves at any given time, the more complete we will feel in our external world.

Our Collective 2024 Reading was pulled in a Celtic Cross Spread. 

See interpretation below.

Foundational Card: ACE OF WANDS

It’s time to trust in the magic of our new beginnings!  The Ace of Wands arrives as our foundational card, urging us to focus more on our craft, skill, gift, talent, etc. in 2024.  Aces always represent a new chapter, and The ACE OF WANDS encourages us to start creating a life where we uniquely shine!  Notice the yellow of this card.  This symbolizes the bright blissful energy of our solar plexus.  The things we are naturally gifted at are also things we enjoy.  Start prioritizing this year what it is you love to do.

What’s Coming Across | What Will Cross Us: FOUR OF CUPS

As we move into more of our joy, our craft, and the life we truly want to life, there will be emotionally challening times.  Your new path could involve changes that relate to matters of the heart, or it could affect relationships with parents, children, caretakers, or other people in your life you tend to.  Despite the challenges, you are still encouraged to life out of your creativity.  Cups represent creative pursuits as much as emotional journeys.  Check in with both each quarter or season of this year (the “4” on the card guides us to do this) to make sure you’re still in alignment.  Cups also remind us to trust our intuition.  If something feels off in your journey, it is.  Make the change swiftly so energy isn’t stuck lingering around to weigh you down.

How Do We Ground or Root In: FOUR OF SWORDS

Here we have another “4” card, and with it being 2024 I have no doubt these cards are letting us know this reading is for this year.  Swords represent cutting ties or setting boundaries.  In this case, the swords are pointed down as if to draw a line in the sand.  We will be challenged to set strong boundaries over this year, especially as we pursuit our joy and our magick.  If anyone causes you to dull your shine, it’s time to let them go.  If it’s someone close to you that you cannot cut ties with(Four of Cups), you may have to set the strongest boundary you can.  Remember, this is what will give us a stronger sensation of being grounded this year.  It is only with strong footing that we can climb our mountain to success!  Put your foot down where you need to, and walk away from anything that is no longer serving your next chapter.

Lesson We Have Already Learned: THREE OF PENTACLES

The more we step into our joy and our gifts, the more we will be blessed on the other side!  The Three of Pentacles represents fortune when we work on ourselves, our abilities, and both our self-empowerment and self-control.  The number “3” represents change or transformation, and you’ve already been through an experience where you embodied this personal evolution.  With this history coming to light, you are now being reminded that you may again have to change greatly in order to create the life you desire or become the person you’re striving to be.  Perhaps this year brings a change in location when it comes to where you work, or maybe you end up in a different professional pursuit altogether.  You may also find yourself surrounded by different people as you move through this year.  Part of the reason we’re being asked to set the boundaries (Four of Swords) and keep owning what we’re working with (Four of Cups), is because there’s bigger and better out there just waiting for us!  But we can’t receive it if we don’t create space.  Let yourself shed the layers that you need to this year in order to grow.  When you learn to surrender and let go, it always works out in your highest favor.

Highest Lesson, Achievement, or Wisdom Coming: QUEEN OF SWORDS

This year is all about sitting on our throne of sovereignty!  We do this by what we’ve already been told to do: Use our Swords both swiftly and strategically.  Some relationships will have to sever completely this year.  Others will have to be remolded and reshaped with your own personal carving tactics.  The Queen of Swords is respected in her power, because she approaches things from feminine ways.  We don’t always have to be harsh when we go separate ways of build up a wall.  We can find ways to say “No” and let that be enough.  2024 Will be a year of learning how to live in our life and our truth without need for explanation.  Our boundary setting abilities and our strong sense of knowing what we want will set the standard for our energy and our environment in the future.  And learning how to cultivate all of this will be one of the highest pieces of wisdom we can obtain.

What is Around the Corner?  JUDGEMENT

This was already predicted by many of our previous cards, but now the Tarot confirms it for sure.  We will experience judgement this year as we make changes to reach our greatest evolution possible this year.  Not everyone will understand our choices, our decisions, our dreams, or our pursuits, and that’s ok.  Notice the waves on the card.  This represents your journey of emotion, creativity, and conception.  Despite the judgements you receive, keep swimming.  Stay on course with your journey even when the monsters of negative self-talk and self-judgement rise up from within.  Anytime we make change, it can feel stormy.  Keep breathing through it and moving through it using your techniques for treatment and your dreams as a guiding beacon of hopeful light.  The emotional tug of war won’t last forever.  Eventually, the sun will come out and you’ll find your strength and bliss again!

*This card is the Angel blowing the trumpet before the end of times.  Sometimes our whole world falls apart when we make change.  If this happens to you in 2024, trust that you are on the verge of magickal new beginnings.

Extra Cards for Insight:  NINE OF SWORDS, FOUR OF WANDS,

KNIGHT OF PENTACLES, ACE OF PENTACLES

In case we didn’t get the message already, the NINE OF SWORDS arrives at the end of our reading to remind us that getting rid of what tethers us will helps us move onto the next chapter.  If you need to cut chords or put up energetic fences, this card tells us to do it.  The number “9” represents wholeness or a sense of feeling complete.  If you have someone currently taking away your power or draining your energy, it’s time to make strong changes so you can gain back control and feel happy again.

We started our reading with Wands, and now we end it with the same energy.  The FOUR OF WANDS again comes in to remind us this is all guidance for 2024.  Notice the green of the wand cards.  This represents heart chakra and the encouragement for us to follow our heart’s desires and dreams this year.  It also tells us to do things that spark the joys of our heart along the way.  Make sure you stay balanced in your voyage and check in on a regular basis to make sure you’re still feeling the heartfelt joy you started your pursuits with.

We know we have emotionally challenging times ahead, and the KNIGHT OF PENTACLES reminds us it’s part of the process.  As we go down roads we might have not pursued before, it could end up in unexpected battles.  Taking into account the swords from our pull, we already know what we’re going to have to do.  The Knight reminds us that this is what we’ve been training for, and we are well equipped to see ourselves through to victory.  Also notice the yellow on this card.  Pentacles and yellow both represent happiness, success, wellness, and abundance.  The more you push forward through your challenges, the more victorious you will find yourself on the other side.  All of the joy on this card also relates back to that Three of Pentacles and a little bit of the Queen of Cups.  We can ease people out of our life with compassion and peace.  We can separate ourselves from people and situations that don’t serve us in a nurturing way.  Give yourself grace as you make changes this year.  Try to do it all with the highest intention for all.

Finally, the ACE OF PENTACLES seals our reading, giving us an “Ace” at both the beginning and the end.  We are likely beginning a new journey now, and we may have several different “new” chapters or books we write on ourselves in this next year.  Pentacles represent how we are supported, usually financially.  Combine this with the Ace of Wands from the beginning, and we are reminded that our abundant growth arises out of us trusting in our intuition, our gut, and our magick.  Let your inner systems guide you throughout this next year, and adjust accordingly when things feel off.  You are meant to experience wonderful things this year, but only when you are ready.  Surrender to the flow frequency of your dreams, and ride the waves of every blissful moment as you sail into your next adventure.

Tarot Reading for 2024
Full Moon in Scorpio & Swati Nakshatra

April 8th, 2024

Past Card: THE HEIROPHANT

Literally the card of Taurus, sometimes the Tarot has a way of reaffirming simply what is.  There is also the number “5” on the card, reminding us that this energy carries over into the 5th month of May even though it arrived in our past of April.  THE HEIROPHANT represents the embodiment of deep wisdom, collected by both experiences and newfound truths constantly arriving.  You may have spent this past eclipse portal gaining deep insights or truths that you can now work with moving forward toward your progress.  You might also have used the past to initiate a commitment to deeper learning or understandings.  This is the consort to The High Priestess, reminding us to not only turn within and embody our magickal, spiritual essence, but to also use what we discover to work toward becoming more enlightened beings in the external.  With THE HEIROPHANT arriving As our past card, this is a reminder that we have already been initiated into our deeper, more enlightened self.  Now, we just have to continue on our spiritual path and allow ourselves to be open to THE continual broadening of our minds and horizons.

Present Card: FOUR OF PENTACLES 

Living out of more of our balance, enjoying more of life’s pleasures, and a return to more wellness are all signs of the FOUR OF PENTACLES.  What a wonderful card to pull for the present!  Also notice how we are in the “fourth” month, and many shifts are happening right now to move us forward out of the storms we may have navigated.  This previous eclipse portal and Aries season in general were a doozy, and now the waves will start to settle.  Juno, the asteroid representing relationships, just went Direct two days ago before this full moon, and Mercury, The Planet of Technology, Trade, Community, and Expression, will go direct on April 25th just two days after this full moon.  We will also have Venus moving into a more harmonious alignment with Taurus between this full moon and the next new moon.  Even Mars entering Aries on April 30th will feel more balanced, as these two rule each other cohesively.  Anytime we feel more in balance, we are also in more alignment with our ability to alchemize, find joy, and manifest.  Use this current full moon to ask yourself how you are feeling, then give yourself permission to make adjustments if necessary.  The more you find the balance within yourself, the more successful you will truly feel and become!

Future Card: THE EMPEROR

I love how I pulled these cards in a “misaligned alignment,” despite shuffling 3 times, cutting 3 times, and pulling from the bottom of each of the piles!  THE EMPEROR is the number “4” and Aries card, again reminding us that we have a few more days left in April before we need to take action.  I feel that this is reminding us about Mercury, whose direct motion occurs the morning of April 25th, but whose post-retrograde shadow will linger a little longer.  There is also a full moon that lingers its energy with the current Jupiter-Uranus conjunction in Taurus, inviting us to slow down and pay attention to what our truest self wants and needs.  We also need to tend to shadow work right now, so we can truly embody the new self ready to meet this new life coming our way.  THE EMPEROR is not attached to his emotions.  He lets them go as he uses them to transform his mindset into logic.  Similar to The Heirophant (and the card just before him in The Tarot), wisdom has been gained out of the past.  This is a gift THE EMPEROR uses now to feel more in control.  Use these next 2 weeks until the New Moon to reflect on your past with grace and gratitude.  Use the darkness to fuel your craving for the light.  THE EMPEROR does not let his victim-driven ego-self rule his empire.  He uses the shield of boundaries (notice the phoenix on that shield by the way-a Scorpio archetype) and the essence or perfume of his truest spirit, to sit on the throne of his sovereign life surrounded by the desires he has manifested.  Remember, in Aries season we set goals to go after what we want and we work hard to get there.  In Taurus season, we continue to be in creative flow, but we slow down to appreciate life’s pleasures.  The more we find gratitude for what we have and the small wins or “glimmers” we witness, the more we set ourselves into a frequency to attraction and gain all that we want, need, and desire.

Tarot Reading for Total Solar Eclipse
+  New Moon in Aries & Revati Nakshatra

April 8th, 2024

Past Card: EIGHT OF SWORDS

(REVERSED)

Typically the EIGHT OF SWORDS symbolizes the feeling of being trapped, stuck, or bound, but it’s by our own limitations and psychological implications of the mind rather than our actual reality.  When we pull this card in reverse, we are reminded that freedom is in the palm of our hands.  Pulling this as our past card, I believe this message applies to the eclipse portal we are currently in.  The previous Full Moon and Lunar Eclipse in Libra two weeks ago initiated us into finding more fairness and truth in our lives.  This was also the initiation into our liberation from past karmic ties and attachments to old story.  As we continue to navigate this Aries season, now with a Total Solar Eclipse, we are reminded that who we can become is now a matter of our control.

Present Card: THREE OF CUPS 

It is a time of celebration!  Especially because the whole country of North America is coming together to honour the cosmos!  It is not often we get to talk about our galaxy and give it attention without it being called “woo.”  Take advantage of the celestial spotlight and get together with your community!  The THREE OF CUPS represents a coming together to cultivate bliss.  Notice the card itself.  Full of green and pink, these are the colors of the heart chakra.  Notice the 3 cups stacked on top of each other in alignment.  This is the growth of elated joy, and it only rises as more cups join and lift each other up!  Let this eclipse be an opportunity for us to unify, and stay together in the oneness for good!

It’s also interesting that we pull this as our present card, as we are currently navigating Revati Nakshatra in Vedic Astrology, who is ruled by Pushan, the nourishing god of meetings and marriages who brings our lost soul back home.  It’s time to let go of the seperatedness and division we hold amongst one other.  The THREE OF CUPS reminds us that we will all find more joy when we learn to bond and support each other.

Future Card: ACE OF SWORDS

Aces always represent new beginnings, and we pull this card as we celebrate the Vedic New Year, the first new moon of spring, the first sign of the zodiac, and a Total Solar Eclipse!  Swords represent setting boundaries and standards, cutting ties, and charging forward.  Considering we are full on in Aries energy, this is the perfect card to pull right now!  As our future card, the message is giving us permission to take back our power and make the adjustments we need to make in order to feel more in control moving forward. There is also a reminder to proceed with caution.  Mercury is currently retrograde and in a “gandanta” or Karmic knot.  As we navigate this eclipse portal and the rest of Aries season/this lunar cycle, make your choices logically and of sound, present mind.  Everything you take action on will have repurcussions appear 6 months from now in the next eclipse season.  Express yourself as you must, but be careful with any swift actions or movements made out of haste.  Everything moving forward should be carried out strategically.ear you hold ahead.

Tarot Reading for Full Eclipsed Moon in Libra

& Hasta Nakshatra

March 25th, 2024

Past Card: JUSTICE (REVERSED)

This full moon is eclipsed in Libra, and the cards agree!  This isn’t your typical Libra full moon, and with so much energy in Aries we certainly feel a bit upside down.  Libra is ruled by Venus, the opposite of Aries’ Mars-fueled nature, and this makes us feel like there’s a tipping of the scales.  The JUSTICE card represents  harmony and fairness.  It also holds the number “11” presenting us with duality, opportunities, and karmic crossroads.This lunar eclipse is aimed to illuminate any energetic exchanges that are not in alignment.  If you find something calling your attention under this moon, it might be time to initiate detachment around what comes up, so you can return to more peace, justice, and harmony.

Present Card: STRENGTH (REVERSED)

We need to be strong in this eclipse portal!  Aries energy is strong and we may feel a need to go to war at all costs or at a moment’s notice.  It will take a true warriors strength to stay in our composure and not react in the way our ego wants to.  On another note, we may find that we need to stand our ground over the next few weeks, which also requires its own strength.  You are in a portal of transformation.  You are shifting in a new direction and becoming a new person!  Not everyone will understand this new journey you are on.  Stand in your spiritual truths no matter what, and learn that living in your truest nature is your purpose.

This is also a potent time to practice emotional alchemy.  The STRENGTH card is represented by the number “8”, remind us of the infinite loop between shadow and light, good and bad, etc.  With this being an eclipse portal and a dance of light and darkness, I have no doubt this card is telling us to stay strong through the shifting tides.  Allow yourself to feel everything you are going through, and work to surround yourself and your life with love and grace as much as possible.

Future Card: THE HANGED MAN (REVERSED) 

Mercury is debilitated right now and expressing shadow sides as it finds itself in a “gandanta” or karmic knot between Aries and Pisces energy.  We also have Mercury ruling the Vedic astrology of this moon through Hastra Nakshatra, guiding us to filter our work, feelings, expression, and more through our holy work of our hands rather than the expression of our words.  This may be more productive toward peace, which we need as much as possible right now!  Also be patient in this eclipse portal, as it is not a time to be moving forward or making decisions.  With Aries season ruling, this could feel quite conflicting and irritating.  If you’re experience impatience, try to keep yourself busy with doing work toward your greater good.  Remember, Mercury goes retrograde on April 1st and will stay there until April 25th, and THE HANGED MAN is the Mercury Retrograde Card.  Prepare to slow down, tune within, and tend to the way you express yourself through the emotional turmoil.

BONUS Card: THREE OF SWORDS

You are going through an emotional time, but it’s for a reason.  We are put on this planet to experience struggle and strife, so we can now experience joy and fullness.  Without one we cannot know the other.  With this eclipse season bringing up matters of both our heart and ego, we may feel an inner struggle between what we want to do wand what we need to do.  The “3” of this card is reminding us of our first 3 chakras—our Root, Sacral, and Solar.  We must learn to balance these 3 centers before we can fully open our heart, and it can be a challenging journey.  Trust that the pain you go through is meant to break you open.  If something arises under this full moon or during this eclipse portal, hold faith that it’s resurfacing so you can separate from the story, emotionally alchemize, and heal for good.

Tarot Reading for New Moon in Pisces

& Purva Bhadrapada Nakshatra

March 10th, 2024

Past Card: TWO OF COINS (REVERSED)

We have been given an opportunity for change, but we may find ourselves resisting.  The Two of Coins upright usually means we are leaning into the change with a shift in paradigm.  When we pull this card reversed, we may be hesitant to move forward into our next journey or be able to change our behavior and programming so willingly.  Notice the yellow of this card.  It’s important that we embrace courage now as we journey into the unknown.  Look at the red on the card, representing both the exciting fires of change and the need to understand that this new mountain must be built one step at a time.  Notice the dragon on the card, along with the North wind blowing from its boat.  Being pulled as our past card, I believe this is a message to take things gently and with the guidance of our ancestors, angels, and more.  We entered The Year of the Wood Dragon with the previous New Moon in air-ruled Aquarius.  We are only now in the second (“2” on the card) lunar cycle of 13.  We are also on the cusp of a new season, and we see this with the contrast of the card’s art.  Winter is slowly shrinking as more solar energy arrives.  Give yourself time to move into the new chances you have been given, and embody more patience as you develop what could be a most magical turn of events.

Present Card: TEN OF SWORDS

Anytime we pull a “10” card we’re experiencing both endings and beginnings.  This present new moon and beginning of this lunar cycle hold the last remnants of winter, bringing us a dance between seasons and a feeling of change.  Mix in the oncoming eclipse arriving in our next lunar cycle, and this Piscean journey will give us the opportunity to break free from old conditioning and truly transmute our ways.  The TEN OF SWORDS in the Dali Tarot is represented by the fall of Julius Caesar.  Notice the 3 birds flying above, symbolic of transformation, liberation, and freedom.  We are now in The Age of Aquarius—a time of being uniquely expressive to our truths and who we want to be.  We no longer need the limitations of the past weighing us down.  It is time to rise up and become who we’ve always wanted to.

In Vedic Astrology, this moon is in Purva Bhadrapada Nakshatra and related to the process of cremation.  This is also the time of Shivaratri in Hinduism, a celebration of Lord Shiva, who is reponsible for both destruction and creation.  The endings and beginnings are both before us now.  It is up to us to choose where we go from here.

The TEN OF SWORDS also represents the shifting of mindsets and the evolution of student to teacher, apprentice to mentor, child to parent, etc.  Currently, Big Daddy Planet Saturn is combust with the sun and muting our need to learn hard life lessons.  Rather, it’s the actions we take right now that set in motion what we are to learn from here.  The TEN OF SWORDS tells us we always have free will.  We can either choose to learn a lesson we haven’t quite comprehended.  Or we can choose to embark on learning something new.  No right or wrong circulates around the choice.  The outcome is ours to make.

Future Card: THE MAGICIAN

Represented by the number “1” in this deck, THE MAGICIAN is the first big move we’ve made on our journey.  Being pulled as our future card, I believe we are being encouraged to embrace our gifts, empower our craft, and believe in our magick.  The melting clock on this card shows us that time does not matter when it comes to our dreams, and the flames in the window remind us that change can be just on the horizon.  We must be ready to embrace what can come at any moment's notice!

Notice how the art of the card breaks up above the frame.  Your upcoming future and likely the upcoming eclipse season hold opportunities for you to break through your personal glass ceilings and move into a life that’s more aligned in the ways of your magick.  Even the card displays Dali himself before a table of Divine creation.  We always have the ability to attract what we desire, but we must first make sure it’s in alignment with our true spirit (the blue in the background of the card), and we must take the steps to get there (the scroll on the table) in order for everything to come to fruition.

Remember how the TEN OF SWORDS showed up as our present card to help initiate us into our calling.  Maybe our Masters/Gurus/Teachers have been removed from us for some reason, or maybe we’re just feeling the need to move onto becoming the lead in our life now.  No matter what, THE MAGICIAN reminds us to always remember where it comes from—SOURCE.  The one on this card reminds us to become the Master of our life, but to do it with a keen remembrance of who the true MASTER of creation is.  We don’t have to label it or name it.  We don’t have to attach a belief system to it.  But in order to work with the energy “IT” creates, we must learn to believe in it.  “As above, so below.  As within, so without.”  We are all star-seeded beings!  That magick is coming from somewhere to begin with!

Tarot Reading for Full Moon in Virgo

& Magha Nakshatra

February 24th, 2024

Past Card: QUEEN OF PENTACLES (REVERSED)

You’ve been in a time of giving more than receiving.  Perhaps this was with the recent Valentine’s season or maybe it was during the holidays.  Maybe it was throughout this entire winter or past season, or even past year!  No matter when you were pouring from your cup, the result of it is now sinking in.  The Queen of Pentacles upright brings messages of wholeness, abundance, and even sovereignty, but when we pull the card in reverse it means the opposite.  You’ve been giving away too much for too long.  It’s time to start giving to yourself instead.

This full moon In Virgo is all about finding a sense of wholeness.  If someone has been a vampire on your energy, it might be time to release them under this lunar phase.  This is also a good time to simply get back into the rituals and practices that make you feel more complete and balanced.  Use this QUEEN OF PENTACLES REVERSED as a message to get back to yourself and back into ruling your life in true harmony again.

Present Card: THE HANGED MAN

We are still waiting around for winter to end.  While we’ve been tempted with warmer temperatures lately in North America, this full moon is known as “The Cold Moon,” and reminds us that we still have some time before Spring officially arrives.  If you’re trying to make something happen right now, be patient.  With a change of seasons just around the corner, the energy is giving us time to prepare for what’s ahead.  It’s not quite time yet for everything to show up at its fullest.  Keep breathing, stick to your manifestation work, and trust that all good things are coming your way in due time and with due effort and mindset.

Future Card: NINE OF PENTACLES (REVERSED)

It’s interesting that this reading gives us two different pentacles cards in reverse.  I believe we’re being called back to our self worth.  When we have the Nine of Pentacles upright, it can mean the fruition of something we’re trying to bring forth or attract to us.  However, what we receive may not be as valuable as we expected.  When we pull the NINE OF PENTACLES REVERSED, we need to ask ourselves what it is we’re trying to create or receive.  Make sure that what you’re putting your energy & heart toward aligns with your spirit.  Not everything is about hard work and victorious results.  Sometimes the magic happens in the creation process.  Under this full moon and the last 2 weeks of this lunar cycle, let yourself be more present in your processes, so you can make sure your efforts are worth your time and energy.

Tarot Reading for Full Moon in Leo

& Pushya Nakshatra

January 25th, 2024

Past Card: THE EMPEROR (REVERSED)

THE EMPEROR is someone who has it together.  They feel complete and whole as they sit on their throne and rule their life.  The projects they've worked on are now complete and their ultimate goals have been reached.  Any previous efforts have now been fulfilled and it's time to live in ease and prosperity.

This is, of course, when the card is pulled upright.  When we pull THE EMPEROR REVERSED and as our past card, we're being reminded that it's ok if somethings over the past year didn't work out.  If January is causing you to reflect on your past failures, incomplete tasks, or unfulfilled efforts, it's doing so to help you decide if you want to try again or abandon ship completely.  Under this full moon in Leo, give yourself grace for what you HAVE accomplished.  This card is displaying the number "4" and encouraging us to look forward into 2024.  Give yourself the space you need to decide which paths to continue to pursuit in this new year.  Whatever you aim your energy toward, make sure it holds valuable purpose and high intentions.

Present Card: DEATH

Usually when we pull the death card, it means many things aside from actual, physical death.  Pulling DEATH as our present card symbolizes this last full moon of the lunar year.  We are in a time of transition, between an old era (Age of Capricorn) and a new one (Age of Aquarius), between an old lunar year and a new one, and between an old lunar cycle and a new one.  With every ending comes a new beginning.  Let the death of what you're releasing under this full moon be for your highest transformation.

It's also interesting to find the number "13" on this card, because we are under the thirteenth full moon!

Future Card: THE WHEEL (REVERSED)

Sometimes known as the "wheel of fortune,THE WHEEL CARD usually represents Divine circumstance or intervention.  However, when we pull this card in reverse we're more in control of what can happen.  Symbolized by the number "10" or  "1," this card is reminding us of the new beginnings to come!  If you haven't felt the need to change just yet, it's ok. You may feel more ready when we move into the Lunar New Year on February 9th or when we move into Spring and Aries season in March. You are in control of your destiny.  You can decide to shift and change when you want to.

Tarot Reading for New Moon in Capricorn

& Purva Ashadha Nakshatra

January 11th, 2023

Past Card: THE HERMIT

Although it is a new year and a new lunar cycle, it is not exactly the time to completely shift a new direction.  THE HERMIT card arrives us a past reminder that we just shifted into winter not even a month ago, and we’re encouraged to move both slowly and carefully into our next chapter.  Mercury is still in its post-retrograde shadow until January 20th, and although this New Moon in Capricorn initiates the first lunar cycle of 2024, it is actually the LAST lunar cycle of the lunar new year.  It isn’t until February with Lunar New Year or maybe even with the shift into spring and Aries season that we’ll feel the full energy and motivation to move toward our dreams.  Until then, spend plenty of time in both reflection and introspection, to insure you’ve learned your lessons and you’re ready to evolve.  The more clear you get about where you want to go, the easier it will be to shift that direction when the appropriate time comes.

Present Card: FIVE OF SWORDS 

The number 5 represents growth, but we know that with our transformation comes a shedding of what no longer serves.  Just as the trees go without leaves in the dead of winter in order to conserve energy, we also need to use this beginning of our new year to cut back so we have room to grow.  Swords represent both setting boundaries and cutting ties, and we already know from our 2024 reading that these actions seem to be the theme of 2024.  With the FIVE OF SWORDS showing up as our present message, I believe we are being encouraged to use this Capricorn lunar cycle and its energy to elevate ourselves by releasing the tethers of others’ energy who holds us back or weighs us down.  Just as the flowers can rise higher if the weeds are removed around it, you will also move toward higher ambitions and increase your chance of reaching success if you manage what may be taking some of your energy.

Future Card: TEMPERANCE

(REVERSED)

Water flows between two cups as a butterfly flutters overhead.  The TEMPERANCE card represents patience, and just as a butterfly must take time to evolve and transform into itself, we might also go through challenges or times in the future when we must wait a little longer than we want to.  Before seeing the results we desire, there is work to be done.  When we pull TEMPERANCE IN REVERSE we are given a protection message for this lunar cycle and perhaps this entire future year of 2024.  There may be times during these portals that we have to gives ourselves grace as we turn within to our metaphorical cocoon, turn to “goo” as we emotionally process and grieve what we have let go of, then re-emerge transformed and ready to embrace the beauty this life has to offer.  Trust in the journey you are given in your near future.  It’s pressuring you to transform for a reason. 

The TEMPERANCE card REVERSED also indicates possible imbalances in wellness or an experience with “dis-ease”.  If this happens to you, it may be a forceful check from The Universe to slow down or a nudge to redirect from where you are headed.  Trust in what slows you down or blocks you and pay attention to the deeper meaning behind the experience.

BONUS CARD: SIX OF CUPS

I felt like we needed a final card with this reading to thread it all together.

Cups continue to flow as both feelings and a flow of creativity move through you.  The number “6” represents community, family, and spirituality, and when we have the SIX OF CUPS arriving as our ultimate theme for this reading, we’re reminded to make sure our inner circle supports our processes and the time it takes to move things through.  As we move into this new calendar year but still navigate the last lunar cycle of the lunar year, we may have times of reflection that both remind us of how far we’ve come or remind us of how much we still need to grow.  Alternatively, Capricorn’s relationship to death and the current moon in Capricorn trining with Saturn, we may look back on people we have lost and celebrate the wisdom or gifts they have passed on rather than grieve their loss solely.  Cups always represent emotion, but they also represent both time and the process of creation.  Trust that what you’ve let go of this past year was meant to help you create space for what’s to come.  Rather than let sadness rule what’s lost, let yourself be open to the new possibilities that await the fertile year you hold ahead.
