Happy Full Moon in Taurus!
For more information about this moon, please see my blogpost here.

To work with this Moon and inspire me for the coming Moon cycle I have done a Full Moon tarot reading.

I did this reading bathing in the Full Moonlight. I have Venetian blinds in my bedroom and the Moon peeps right through the blinds illuminating my bedroom.

I used the Spolia tarot deck and offered this month’s charged New Moon water before doing the reading.

Questions

  1. Where do I need to be more stubborn/stand my ground/persevere?
  2. What do I need to let go of?
  3. How can I embrace my sensuality?
  4. Where am I being over-indulgent or fussy?
  5. What can I nurture during this Moon cycle?
  6. How can I bring more comfort in my life?
  7. How and where can I connect with my ambition?
  8. Please give me a practical tip for the coming month.

First thing I notice is that there are a lot of Pentacles (Coins) cards, which is very suiting as Taurus is an Earth sign.

  1. Nine of Coins tells me I need to have more self discipline and rely on my own mastery. Stop looking outside myself for answers and inspiration. All that I need is within me. Keep up the shadow work and be my own teacher.
  2. Ace of Wands tells me to stop seeking inspiration and new ideas, stick to what I am already cultivating. Stop following every urge to create and therefor losing focus and feeling overwhelmed. Pick and focus (haha where have I heard this before, story of this multi-passionates life!). Don’t start anything new and let go of the idea that I need anything new. No new ventures, build my practice and stick to what I am doing.
  3. Three of Coins made me giggle as I am advised to practice and also to seek a team effort😉 Haha my dirty mind just came up with all sort of images. But sitting with this card for a bit I feel it tells me to show dedication to myself, my sensuality, my senses. Involve them in everything I do. As a sensitive person I have learned to tone down my senses, but I feel this card is telling me that my senses are my strength and I am strong enough to engage them in everything I do. I need to commit and dedicate myself to my senses and not switch them off when my senses overwhelm me. I need to embody my sensuality and not try to control my senses so much. I hear the words ‘allow’ and ‘trust’.
  4. Eight of Swords tells me I put too much restriction on myself, I have built my own cage of isolation. I am not as powerless as I sometimes feel, time to break free from my own chains.
  5. Queen of Coins tells me it is beneficial to spend time at home and take care of practical stuff such as getting my business and private life in order. Also take care of my finances. Time to be more frugal and domestic. This sounds perfect as I feel like hibernating. The wet and cold weather is making me want to sleep or stay in under a blanket and read a lot of books.
  6. Ace of Swords says mental clarity, a clear vision and focus will really help me move forward and find more peace. I am so distracted by all sort of ideas and input and am lacking a clear vision. I need to have clear where I want to spend my energy and what to let go. So yes a vision and clear focus.
  7. Eight of Coins tells me to stick to what I know and master my craft, create a body of work and develop.
  8. Page of Coins advises me to be patient, lay a foundation for future success, be introspective and gain insights this way. Set goals and develop a consistent plan.

Wow I love how practical this advice is and something I really need to hear (again). I do need a clear vision, focus and build on what I already started. I need to commit. I have serious commitment issues and this shows in my business and private life. I need to feel and look inward and admit to myself what I really crave and need and than make a plan to work towards achieving that and gift myself what I really want. I have to stop being afraid to dream and allow my true wishes to surface, and not be ashamed of what I really want or be afraid to be let down if I can’t make my wishes come true. I feel a deep fear of mine is to be let down, so I stopped dreaming. When I start dreaming and wishing I know I can make them true, I have to gift this to myself. It is time to allow, open up and dedicate myself to my art and craft. And to my senses.

Thank you for reading and sharing this space. I hope I have inspired you to also seek advice from the tarot (and really your higher self).
