  • March 25th Full Moon Intention and Affirmation: Unlocking Inner Strength Through Self-Compassion

    Send us Fan Mail

    The full moon is upon us, so I have a new tarot curated intention and affirmation for us to work with. This moon cycle I used the Smith Waite tarot deck, and we pulled Strength, the Three of Swords, and the Eight of Swords. Be sure to have a look at the cards to see what they awaken in you, let’s dive in.

    Intention: Hardship is a universal experience. For me, challenges have revealed a strength I didn’t know I possessed. This strength is rooted in the ability to extend kindness and understanding towards myself, even in the face of hardship.

    Affirmation: Self compassion is a sign of inner strength.

    In the throes of panic or intense emotions, the Strength card offers powerful guidance. It reminds us that true strength lies in quiet control, not aggression. Like the woman gently holding the lion's jaws, we can approach challenges with grace and self-compassion.

    The full moon is upon us, so I have a new tarot curated intention and affirmation for us to work with. 

    This moon cycle I used the Enchanted Forest tarot, and we pulled Black Shuck (Death), the Weaver of Visions (Queen of Cups), and The Oldest One (The Hierophant). Be sure to have a look at the cards to see what they awaken in you, let’s dive in.


    In all the years I’ve curated tarot inspired intentions and affirmations I don’t think I’ve pulled a single card so many times in such close succession. That’s right folks, we pulled the Death card again. Perhaps this moon cycle is an opportunity to unlock deeper lessons.

    • Intention: As the moon wanes, shed old baggage, free your mind, and welcome new perspectives. 
    • Affirmation: Through transformation, I discover my true potential and create a life filled with purpose.

    The full moon is upon us, so I have a new tarot curated intention and affirmation for us to work with. This moon cycle I used the Wild Unknown Tarot, and we pulled the Four of Wands, the Daughter of Wands (aka Page of Wands), and The Hermit. Be sure to have a look at the cards to see what they awaken in you, let’s dive in.

    • Intention: Time spent in quiet reflection allows for internal processing and integrating experiences. It creates sacred space where we can identify what’s working for us and what needs adjusting. That knowledge can then transform and inform our perspective moving forward.
    • Affirmation: I prioritize quiet reflection so I can commune with my inner flame. 
    • A theme that immediately comes to mind when I look at these archetypes is the concept of the inner flame. This is a topic I love, and I’ll loop back to it shortly, but for now, let’s explore the cards one by one.

    What a potent trio we have with us this moon cycle. When I look at these archetypes I see a whirlwind of movement, resilience in the face of challenge, and a transformation. Let's delve deeper into the message of each archetype.

    • Intention: There are times in life we have to buckle up for a wild ride. When life feels intense and overwhelming, it’s important to cultivate resilience and embrace the transformative power of letting go. This moon cycle let’s try not to resist change, but flow with it.

    The full moon is here so I have a new tarot curated intention and affirmation for us to work with.

    The new moon is here so I have a new tarot curated intention and affirmation for us to work with. This moon cycle I used the Vintage Wisdom Oracle deck and the Smith/Waite tarot, and we pulled the King of Wands, Intention, and the Knight of Swords. Be sure to have a look at the cards to see what they awaken in you, let’s dive in.

    Intention: Depending on what’s going on in our lives, taking mindful action can be tough. In times of crisis, stress, or challenge we may feel the need to take immediate, and well-intended, action. While there are certainly moments where swift responses are needed, I’ve found that taking a moment to reflect is wise.

    • A tool that’s been helpful for me is working with intention. I’m always refining my intentions but mostly they are to be kind, honest, authentic, loving, honor nature and the earth, etc. When I’m finding mindful action difficult, I stop and look to my intentions. Is my desired action in alignment? 
    • With that said, you know what? Every time I think about intentions, those quotes about how good intentions pave the way to hell always come to mind. I did a quick internet search and sure enough, there are quite a few quotes from well-known writers talking about the dangers of good intentions. 

    Affirmation: I hone my intentions often to ensure they are aligned with core values and minimize harm to self and others.

    The full moon is upon us, so I have a new tarot curated intention and affirmation for us to work with. This moon cycle I used the Wildwood Tarot deck, and we pulled The King of Arrows, The Page of Arrows, and the Green Woman. Be sure to have a look at the cards to see what they awaken in you, let’s dive in.

    Intention: When was the last time you thought about what was truly important to you? The practice of zeroing in on essentials enhances our awareness and shows us where we can lean in or let go. It involves peeling back layers to uncover the values, relationships, and aspirations that truly resonate with our core being.

    Affirmation: My intuition guides my understanding of what is essential and aligned with my deepest values and aspirations.
