new moon, new me
So, September 2nd was a new moon, which I normally consider the start of a "new cycle", so as per usual, my question was "what do I need to know and how can I be best prepared for the coming cycle?"
Here's what I got:
(Realizing I need to orient... we start w/ the center three cards: top, left, then right.)
- Significator: ↓ Shaman of Cups
- "putting on a mask to do work in the world" but reversed, so either unconsciously or held back.
- Atmosphere: ↗ 4 of Cups
- considering the option, but a bit forced (the clockwise tilt)
- Crosscurrent: ↗ World
- culmination of the major arcana. Uhh, literally the fucking whole ass world.
- Root: ↗ 8 of Cups
- "going down to touch deep emotions", pretty striking in the root position.
- Past: ← 5 of Cups
- "the sting, the bummer". Well, at least it's in the past
- Head/Spirit Connection: ↖ Daughter of Swords
- can't remember lol
- Future: ↑ Priestess of Discs
- can't remember either!
- Self-Concept: ← 7 of Wands
- a kind of communal ecstacy
- Hopes & Fears: ↙ 2 of Wands
- "creative spark; sexual attraction"
- House: ← Hierophant
- the law of the land, "order"
- and finally: Outcome!
- ↙ 9 of Cups : Group joy, celebration
- ↑ 3 of Discs : Group project
- ↗ Daughter of Wands : "rushing off to new things with the wisdom of the past"
(Then we move to the outer circle, starting at the bottom because the draw order has you construct the cross first, then moving clockwise.)
(And then we do another round, starting with the top left.)
