Aries New Moon Soul Reading (I Will Survive and Thrive)

Spring has Sprung AND it’s the fiery, impulsive New Moon in ARIES on April 11.

So, get ready to give yourself a soul reading by picking-a-card from one of my 4 hand painted oracle decks pictured above. The reveal is below. First, take a few relaxed breaths and then make a wish.

By the way, both Spring and the New Moon are THE BEST TIME to set your intentions for the moonth (and the year) ahead. At the bottom of this post you’ll also find a 13 minute video filmed in an incredible succulent/cactus garden in bloom near my home in Temecula, California.

“I Will Survive and Thrive” is the affirmation of the month so say it loud and say it proud.

New Moon in Aries Soul Reading

Card 1: Ande was ready for any adventure (Lefty Oracle Deck)

Mantra: I am brave.
Affirmation: I am ready for any adventure.
Element: Fire

Ande was ready for any adventure (Lefty Oracle Deck)

Song
I am strong, brave, and ready;
a warrior in heart, mind and body.

I am prepared, excited, and lucky;
armed with knowledge,
grounded and guided by intuition.

Whatever happens
I will survive AND thrive.
I am blessed
and oh, so grateful 
for being alive.

If this card appears in a reading get ready for an adventure! It may be external or internal; in the mundane world or in the magical realms. You are prepared, your mind clear, and your heart steady. If you don’t yet know the destination or when you’ll arrive that is okay too. It will be revealed in time. Trust that you ARE on the right path and that you will be guided. Signposts will appear along the way. Trust is required as well as surrender. So be present and enjoy the journey.

In my own life I have used this card to help a loved one pass over to the Other Side. She was adventurous so this card appealed to her and helped her trust the blessings of her final journey.

Creative Journal Prompt
Imagine that you’re heading out next week for the adventure of a lifetime; what will you pack? Describe.

Oracle Card 1: Liar at the Crossroad

Liar at the crossroads by Kathy Crabbe (Lefty Oracle Deck)

Mantra: I forgive.
Affirmation: I stand up for me, not neg-a-tiv-ity. I choose truth.
Element: Spirit

If this card appears in a reading it’s time to get honest and ask yourself these questions:

1.      Am I telling any lies right now?
2.      Who could be telling me lies?
3.      What lies are festering inside me that need to come out?

If you feel a black ball of tangled negative energy within it could be a lie; a lie told to you by society, your family, a friend. Shine the light of truth upon this black ball to help bring the lie to the surface and root it out. This lie is NOT you. It is a thought form that has grown within you and gained strength. It needs to be faced before you can move on. Lies are sneaky beasts and need watching so that they do not snowball and cause greater mischief and irreparable harm. Forgiveness of self and others along with the making of reparations is important so that when you do move on it’s with a clean and clear conscience.

In my own life I have seen this black ball buried deep within a client during a soul reading. I gently, so gently, was guided to tell her what I sensed. We didn’t confront things head on because often crab-like sideways motion is necessary in the beginning so that the lies can be observed and dealt with from different angles. I also channeled some healing techniques and tools to provide her with practical ways to help her help herself.

Oracle Card 2: Black Duck

Black Duck by Kathy Crabbe (Elfin Ally Oracle Deck)

Keyword: Fierce
Meaning: Your daring-ness is quietly impressive and will take you where you need to go.
Reversed: Don’t be too quiet for too long.

Affirmation: I hear you.
Astrology: Aquarius, Moon, Neptune, Pisces, Pluto
Element: Air, Water

Medicine: Your call awakens the Divine within.

Lore: Despite her late start in life, she was simply, fantastic and with Black Duck as her ally she would find and refine the DELIGHT that beat in tune with her heart.

She was ready for action with Black Duck as her ally. Elf Action! She knew that this could prove challenging when out of her element so she kept a Black Duck feather in her cap to help her adapt, because no matter what, she would survive.
