The full moon is upon us, so it’s time for a new tarot curated intention and affirmation. This moon cycle I used my Smith Waite tarot deck, and we pulled The Star, Judgement, and the Knight of Wands.  

Be sure to have a look at the cards to see what they awaken in you, let’s dive in.

Intention: After a stormy period, a self-review is in order. What did you learn, what worked well, what didn’t? How can you use challenging times to get to know yourself better?

Affirmation: My inner light is my guiding light.

The Star symbolizes hope, inspiration, and spiritual connection. It often represents a period of healing and renewal. It’s also an indication that you’re on the right path, even if the way forward isn’t quite clear to you. 

I’d like to point out that during the last moony cycle we pulled The Tower, and in the tarot The Star is the card that immediately follows the tower. To me, this means that we’ve been through some challenges, and now is the time to consider how we might move forward after taking some time to renew, reflect, and reorient.

The new moon is upon us, so you guessed it, I have a new tarot curated intention and affirmation for us to work with. This moon cycle I used my Smith Waite tarot deck, and we pulled the Queen of Cups, The Tower, and the King of Wands. Be sure to have a look at the cards to see what they awaken in you. Let’s dive in!

Intention: Have you ever felt empowered and confident only to become riddled with a sense of inner conflict? 

Sometimes we feel a pressure to perform, achieve, and accomplish. We know we have the skill and ability to do the things we want to do, but inner conflict undermines our sense of surety. A sense of mounting pressure rises, and we know if we don’t sit with the parts of ourselves that are in conflict we’ll have a meltdown. 

Affirmation: I can hold space for opposing needs and desires.

The full moon is upon us, and you know the drill, I’ve pulled three cards to curate an intention and affirmation for us to work with until the new moon. 

This moon cycle I used the Light Seer’s Tarot, and we pulled the Eight of Cups, the Five of Pentacles, and the Nine of Pentacles. Be sure to have a look at the cards to see what they awaken in you. Let’s dive in. 

Leaving behind what no longer serves you is the overarching theme of this spread. To do this, it’s important to cultivate a strong vision for the future, one that is aligned with your values and authentic self.  

Intention: This full moon is an opportunity to reflect on what areas of your life no longer serve your highest good and to make conscious decisions about what to leave behind. It's a time to trust in your intuition and to embrace the unknown with courage and optimism.

Affirmation: What is no longer mine, I leave behind.
