When asking for insight for this new moon two cards fell out of the tarot deck as I was shuffling, and here they are: The two of wands and the three of swords from the Thoth deck together represent the dynamic pioneering spirit that makes a commitment to a cause and sees it through. It’s like a thunderbolt of insight that gives you energy and ignites your fire. A new direction is being sought out. With this, there’s a need for acknowledging the loss that comes when we open up to something new – a new life philosophy is birthing and the old one must be laid to rest. Be gentle with yourself as you pluck the necessary petals – it can be a painful process. You’re making space though to welcome in something that energizes you. I notice a big polarity in the colour of the two cards – one light and one dark; it’s a beautiful display of the universal duality of life.
