TAROT QUESTIONS for the Sun Card + a Poem

Here are some questions to ask yourself to help resonate with the New Moon in Leo since the Sun card is ruled by the Sun, of course! The questions below are from the excellent workbook by Mary K. Greer: Tarot for Yourself.

1. What do I now understand?
2. What successes have you achieved?

The Mermaid's Secret

I followed the rules for too long,
but now I am older,
disbelieving these systems.

To have survived
is something.

To have created
is something.

This Mermaid Body is illuminated,
though tempered by your disbelief
in hidden disability.

My Sun of muted rays touches me here in the depths.

My Sun photosynthesizes plankton, mollusks, sea grass, algae and kelp.

I gave up my seal coat and red cap long ago,
not knowing I was hiding in plain sight
so I blinkered my eyes and played your games.

I will return now to my ocean, my rivers, my lakes.
Don’t follow, just know
I am not of your kind
after all.

TAROT QUESTIONS

I wrote a poem about this mermaid in response to some questions from the excellent Tarot for Yourself workbook by Mary K. Greer:

1. What call have you heard?
2. Who or what is being criticized?
3. What judgement is being made?
4. What new realization or ephiphany is transforming you?
5. Who or what are you merging with?
6. What or whom are you responsible for?

Poem
I hear the Call of Spirit,
of witches, mermaids, fae;
naturally neurodivergent,
weirdos, outcasts, whistle blowers,
misunderstood, attacked, cancelled.

How do we find each other?
Learn from one another?
Change the world together?

Pick-A-Card for the Virgo Full Moon

Virgo loves whimsy, efficiency and being of service. How are your New Moon seeds coming to fruition this Full Moon? This also happens to be the Blood Moon, Purim and a total Lunar Eclipse which I have described near the end of the card reveal.

Pick-A-Card for the Virgo Full Moon

Oracle cards created by Kathy Crabbe

All cards are from my hand painted oracle card decks. Before you choose a card, focus your mind, body and intuition upon something you want to bring to fruition right now Or ask the cards for guidance regarding a specific question OR ask the cards “What do I need to know right now?” These are just a few ideas as I’m sure you have lots of your own ideas too.

Card 1: Matilija Poppy Fairy

Matilija Poppy by Kathy Crabbe (Fairy Herbal Oracle Deck)

Matilija Poppy Affirmation: “I dream my way into the dark.”

Ruled by the Moon and worshiped by the women of Crete. Poppy seeds and flowers can be made into love spells, potions and sachets to attract wealth and fertility, induce divinatory dreaming, aid sleep and master invisibility. Persephone gathered three poppies and three wheat sheaves to accompany her into the Underworld.

Astrology: Cancer, Leo, Moon
Deity: Demeter, Persephone
Element: Water
Healing: Aids sleep, for pain

Card 2 : Carolee

Carolee by Kathy Crabbe (Lefty Oracle Deck)

Mantra: I am free.
Affirmation: I dare to be free.
Element: Earth

Song
I am moon.
I am stars.
I am sun.
I am earth.

YOU, with your lies and false promises
will NEVER crush me.

I AM WOMAN

fierce,
gentle,
proud,
defiant.

I AM YOU.

If this card appears in a reading you are more than ready to forge ahead. You are brave and you are going for it; nothing or no one can stand in your way. Simple.

In my own life this card also speaks of raw, naked ambition and flaunting it without shame or fear. It’s a feminist card, a fighter card, a power card. Blessed Be.

Creative Journal Prompt
Carolee is a trickster card; a card that invites you to be tricky and sly like a fox or a coyote. The trickster is a go-between for humans and the gods. She/he journeys to the world in-between where magick exists although often his/her messages come out a little differently than you’d expect.

We each have a dash of trickster in us, a madcap, a fool, a wise old soul.

Take a moment now to inhabit that in-between world where things could go either way or not at all, but where the unexpected is always to be expected.

Name one wild thing you could do in your life that would surprise everyone. Whatever pops into your head write it down. If you’re a brave soul and ready to shake it up for Carolee’s sake then she dares you to do it and report back later.

Next, envision your new, wild self. What do you see, feel, sense? Describe.

Is there anything stopping you from being this new, wild self and if so how will you deal with it?

Ask your trickster why she/he has chosen this task for you.

What steps can you take today or this week to put your trickster vision into action?

Expressive Body Movement Challenge
What is your best feature sexually or sensually speaking? I’d like you to show it off right now in whatever way you’re comfortable with. It can be very subtle or more overt. Have fun with this and flaunt your stuff like a peacock if you dare!

Non Dominant Hand Exercise
Draw your trickster self using your non dominant hand and write an affirmation to express this new and daring side of yourself.

Card 3: Strength

Strength by Kathy Crabbe (Siren Song Mermaid Tarot Deck)

Mermaid Strength Song: I am aligned with my truth & power.

Gifts: Courage, creativity, discipline, endurance, gentle-ness, honour, self love, sensuality, success, transcendence, trust, vitality, wildness.

Shadow: Abuse of power, disgrace, doubt, fear of unknown, temptation, victim-hood, weakness.

MerMagik: Amber, cat’s eye, diamond, driftwood, garnet, limpet, lion, ruby, sardonyx, sturgeon, swan, topaz.

MerSpell: Listen to the spirit of the water to dance with your spirit animal helper. Merge with your inner flame giving birth to your wild heart and wishes.

Astro/Deity: Leo / Amberella, Brigid, Sulis.

More Virgoan Goddesses:

Atanua, Cerridwen, Changing Woman, Circe, Isis, Lada, Liban, Morgan Le Fay, Uisg.

About Lunar Eclipses

A lunar eclipse is only possible during a full moon. During a Full Moon, the Moon and Sun are on opposite sides of the Earth, and the Moon is at its brightest. A lunar eclipse is a special full moon where the Earth is in the same plane with both luminaries and the Moon is therefore shadowed by the Earth. This too, is a relatively sudden and rare phenomenon and not visible to everyone on Earth.

How Do You Know If An Eclipse Will Affect You?

You’ll feel an eclipse if it falls within 5 degrees of one of your natal planets. A good astrologer can tell you that. An eclipse’s effects are also likely to be stronger if you live in the part of the world where it can be seen directly. And an eclipse will be stronger if it is total, rather than partial. These things taken together and with a few other factors added in, will tell you the generic nature of the eclipse, the area of your life where it’s likely to affect you, and the strength of the effect. A strong eclipse is likely to be felt, at least in a background way, for six months until it is replaced by the next same-type of eclipse (solar or lunar).

Embracing Differences with the Devil Card

Dear Mer-Moon Muser,

Today I am channeling The Devil Mermaid from my upcoming Siren Song Tarot even though my energy is still low after selling my Wood Kitty Art at a Memorial Day art fair in Idyllwild, a lovely small, artsy mountain town in Southerth California near my home. Dogwoods flowered nearby amidst towering Ponderosa Pines, rocky peaks and small seasonal creeks and waterfalls; it smelled delightful!

But, back to the Devil Mermaid and into the dark shadows and murky waters.

As I dive deep into my own Shadow Material 'down to the heart's chambers', I drop the mask...

to embrace difference,
to love my demon.
Then to sleep a 1000 sleeps
Dreamless
as I sink slowly
to the bottom of the lake
I am the Mermaid's Gift.

In this telling I share hope and acceptance. May we all find more of this in our heart's deepest chambers.

Compassion comes through in all my soul readings which I offer as audio recordings based upon your specific questions and issues.
