New Moon Spread.

This is a time for intention setting. 

Where am I now?

Where am I moving towards?

What can I do to move towards manifesting my intention?

Intention – The Hierophant (a guiding authority)

The Hierophant represents authority outside traditional structures. Often this means exploring esoteric and spiritual practice and wisdom or alternative lifestyle choices or simply actively choosing to disengage from some of the strong beliefs that have been holding you captured within your life and self. Perhaps following mainstream guidelines has left you feeling empty and unsatisfied and you are sensing an emerging interest or energy within you that you are desiring to harness and understand. You are seeking deeper insight and confirmation, calling you to reach out to a mentor or role model who has walked and is living the path you are considering.You are ready to expand your personal knowledge and undertake what you are coming to believe is a more authentic path and true aspect of your soul. The Hierophant is a mentor, guiding authority, shaman or philosopher who provides support, allowing you to deepen your practice and existence. This card may come to you at a time when you are ready to expand your knowledge in a particular are or step out to live a more aligned life. It is important you do not limit yourself – stay open to new ideas and principles; you never know how they will support you on your venture forward. A beautiful time to explore alchemy, ceremonies, rituals, rites of passage, and new learnings through workshops.

Where am I now? – Two of Swords (decisions to make)

This is a card of choice. There are decisions to be made and you may be feeling torn as to which direction to take. Avoiding the situation only creates more fear and congestion of energy, stagnating your internal waters and causing undue fog and confusion. Running away from making a choice has you sitting outside your own personal power and it is time to step up to the plate and make the best decision for yourself and where you are right now. The card may also indicate that you are a stalemate with a workmate, business situation, or relationship but abandoning the situation does not mean it will go away. Know that from your decision, there will be no good or bad outcome…simply movement. And this is what is needed to see the energy expand once more, allowing for new opportunities. Make peace with yourself, any others involved and the situation as a whole. Come back into your own power – balance will be restored through participation. Trust in the greater good. Alternatively, you may be able to clearly cut through any internal and external confusion with ease. This may not mean others will agree with your decision, however no harm will come.

Where am I moving towards? – Maiden of Wands (wild and free)

Change is in the air! You are feeling the fiery spark of enthusiasm with a drive to break free from anything that has you feeling heavy and trapped. You may begin to push the parameters of you life with a fresh perspective and a leading edge way of thinking. You are beginning to sense that a new adventure awaits, and you’re being asked to be both bold and grounded enough to step into this dynamic energy that you soul is ready to explore. You may feel the stirrings of a defining moment or decision nearing you, calling to embrace yourself and life with a level of lighthearted intrigue. You are being encouraged to connect with and express your own sense of self, tapping into your pure potential and truth as the light to guide you forward. This card may come at a time when you are seeking freedom. Perhaps even tasting the kind of unbridled freedom that ignites you with abundant energy and sees you partaking win a variety of roles and activities where you can not only add value, but also express your playfulness. It is time now for you to set aside all the rules you have adhered to and to truly turn up for yourself in a transformative way.

What can I do to move towards manifesting my intention? – Knight of Cups & Beginnings

*I do plan to write about my interpretation, but since this post is already long…I will make it into a separate blog. Also, I know the new moon was last night but I spent the better part of night in pain. And today was a very lazy Sunday. Nap galore.
