The Seven of Disks from the Thoth tarot deck appears for this new moon. It’s about the death of who you have known yourself to be. In acknowledging the darkness, you are simultaneously unearthing the light at the center of your soul. It’s from this place that you gather yourself up and create new form and structure in your life.

What is possible for your life? You’re now allowing yourself to dream – the “what if” – the call of the deepest part of you. You’re not needing to do anything yet, but plant the seed. You’re allowing the creative process to move through you.

The upcoming full moon is symbolized by the Prince of Swords, reversed, from the Thoth tarot deck. This card is an extension to the Ten of Swords card that I wrote about on the last new moon. We are being asked to cut the necessary cords to all the beliefs and mental thought processes that no longer serve us. They are outdated now, as we enter a new level of consciousness on the planet. It’s time to blow them out like the wind; the Prince is on a mission!

We’re being shown the 10 of Swords, reversed, for the upcoming new moon. This card is about ending the way your mind has been working to begin anew for the changing times. We are coming to the end of an old paradigm, and in order to see a shift in your reality or outcome you need to change the way you see and believe things to be. It’s the universal law of “cause and effect”.

It’s also a time to acknowledge the brokenness of the open hearted, the grief, and realize what life is really about.

What loss has helped shape your beliefs about life? The wisdom born out of life experience is what we’re to live out in the world.

The approaching full moon brings us the Princess of Cups, reversed, from the Thoth tarot deck. The figur in the card is gracious, gentle, loving, and is in touch with their emotions.

How can we realign ourselves to be in harmony with our hearts and take action from this place in ourselves?

This card is a reminder to examine our emotions, relationships and heart-selves to see what lies beneath that wants to be unearthed at this time. It’s a ripe time to transform emotional energy into heartful creative action. Every small loving act from the heart ripples out to us all.

The Princess of Wands from the Thoth tarot deck is featured at this time. This card is one about taking action – the spark moves you to action. You’re being guided by your intuition and releasing the grip of fear that can cause immobilization.

You’re gaining an understanding and clarity around an issue, relationship and/or endeavor, and the momentum is here to finish something up. It’s time to spring forward!

The Hanged Man, reversed, is the flavour of this new moon upon us. We are on the threshold of a new beginning that tasks us with asking,

How have we allowed our head or other people’s opinions to rule our choices and strayed from our heart?

What do we need to surrender to and/or let go of to come to a greater place of cohesion within?

When the Hanged Man shows up, it’s’ a good time to do some introspection to reclaim that sweet spot of self-love that exists within us all.

On this new moon, total lunar eclipse, we see the WHEEL of FORTUNE appear. This tarot card is about evolving interpersonally – integrating the feminine and masculine aspects of ourselves. It’s about melding our intuitive, imaginative aspects with our cognitive mental side – a circular process that brings us to wholeness.

What creative endeavor is stirring within that’s needing form and structure to bring it to fulfillment? For clarity, here’s an example: you’re called to write creative prose and then you organize it into a book of poetry and put it out as an offering to the world. There’s transformation occurring in the inner and outer spheres simultaneously. What an exciting time in history!

For this new moon the Six of Disks, reversed, is front and centre. This card is about taking stock of your success in the realm of your health, body, career, finances, and your home – all the tangible things in life. Perhaps you haven’t allowed yourself to feel your success and what you’ve accomplished up to this time.

It’s a time to look at where you’ve succeeded and/or where you’re on the threshold of prosperity in your life – as it relates to the material realm. You can rest easy basking in the cohesion and stability of this card. Considering all the challenge that we’re being faced with these days, let’s take a moment to appreciate this card surfacing.

The Four of Wands is the tarot card for this full moon. It’s a card of gestation, a time when we’re working on our spiritual nature – a continuation of the Hermit card from the last new moon.

How are you tending to your inner world – the fire inside that is fueling your spirit forward?

This card also signifies a completion; there’s a blueprint of sorts for the coming time that has been mapped out. Rejoice in how you are evolving spiritually. It’ll soon be time to see how that plays out in the world.

The Major Arcana card, the Hermit, is the image for humanity for this new moon. It seems fitting for this card to appear, considering winter is often a ripe time for soul searching and deep self-reflection. The Hermit represents creation, rebirth, awakening, and is a call to bring to light the inner wisdom of our souls. We’re being asked to retreat and/or set aside some solo time to find our inner light that will help guide our way. The info is beyond the rational intellect, and it may feel difficult to access and acknowledge our authentic selves. However, this is the beginning of a new year – one deemed by some as the “great awakening” – and the Hermit card depicts precisely that: an awakening within that leads to a new beginning.
