Moon cycles

Feelings and thoughts

I have been feeling almost wired today. Loads of energy! Have a bit too much on my plate... Yet I'm also very sociable.

Wanted to focus a lot on making myself beautiful and magical. Curled my hair, did my skincare, groomed my eyebrows, used colorful eyeshadow in the corner of my eye, used shimmery eyeshadow all over my eyelid, etc.

Having fantasy-like dreams. Dreamt of a magical waterfall, purplish in color.

Routine is a bit out of wack currently, but I'm sure it will come together soon. My days have been a bit too busy and unpredictable, but I will fix that. And once that is fixed, I will be much better at eating right (I started eating a lot of veggies and fruit) and sleeping early.

Went to the dentist for a checkup.

Literally all of my intentions for this lunar cycle came true.

I didn't even have to try. I didn't have to do tarot or anything complicated.

Here are some things that happened during this lunar cycle:

I became confident. I really stopped criticizing myself and putting myself down.

I started to let my individuality shine through with more people.

I became more social.

I started a journal (at the full moon), which really helped me to be creative and to get to know myself.

I evaluated my values and my character. I thought deeply about who I am and why I do things.

I started taking better care of myself. Started going to bed earlier, eating a bit healthier.

I reignited my passion and myself. I got really motivated to keep improving.

What I may do next month:

Keep the no-hands approach, let it just unfold with faith.

Fyre (Огнян Павлов):

My ultimate intention (3 of Wands) was to explore this spiritually and expand my perspective. To see if it there's something in it for me. That exploration finished at the Full Moon on 10.07.

I struggled to completely understand the concept of home and motherhood and the energy represented by the Queen of Cups. I got no breakthrough (The Tower) in this area at this current time.

I have started to see unhealthy patterns I have inherited from my family or borrowed from the past (The Devil), however I am still drifting and unsure of what path to take (8 of Cups).

I will take the next few days to clear my mind and rest in preparation for the New Moon in Leo in my 5th house on 28 July.

What I will do differently next month:

I won't take into account the zodiac sign, only the house; I found it unnecessary and too complicated

When it comes to the tarot readings... I might have to simplify but no idea how yet

6 of Cups, the Tower, 9 of Swords (rev), Judgement, Queen of Wands

Interpretation

What worked this Moon cycle? I looked to my childhood and things from the past that represent home, family and motherhood.

What didn't work? I had no breakthrough. I didn't manage to bring about a dramatic, foundational change. Holding on to outdated structures or perspectives.

What can I learn? Learn from trauma and the things that still haunt me. Feel the feelings and heal it.

Advice: It's time for a serious self-reflection and evaluation. Start making changes.

8 of Cups (rev) + 4 of Swords (rev)

Interpretation:

A toxic cycle is being broken. "Waking up" and breaking free from poor habits and addictions within the context of family / home / parenthood. That comes through forgiveness and letting go.

Disappointment. Overly emotional. Making hasty judgements. (All about family) It stems from impatience and bursting with energy but lacking direction. Oftentimes rash decisions are taken. Bullying.

Reading:

Who I am atm: 2 swords (r)

Who I aspire to be: Knight of cups (r)

What do I tend to focus my consciousness on: King of Wands

How do I get to my goal: Queen of Cups (r)

What should I know: The Moon

Three things that need to change: 10 cups, 7 cups, 9 pentacles

The light at the end of the tunnel: Knight of swords (r)

Interpretation:

Currently, I am confused and at a stalemate. I am faced with some choice or presented with some some options or contamplating ideas but unable to make use of neither. The subconscious is slowly rising to the surface and its contents are vaguely illuminated.

A warning that I am romanticizing an dream version of myself. That I will be this perfect - too perfect - caring and loving person. The reality is likely to be that I exhaust myself and need to resign and care less.

Current energy: Ace of wands, the Magician

Advice / to embody: Queen of wands, King of Swords (r), Knight of Cups (r)

Let go of: 6 of Swords (r), Queen of Swords (r), 3 of wands (r)

Outcome: 2 of Wands

Interpretation

Potent energy to actualize intention set at the new moon and have a spiritual breakthrough.

The time is ripe to be the wild witch - individualistic, full of self-expression and color. Be vibrant and shine. It's a good time to get rid of inhibitions and the inner critic. Care less about seeking approval, validation and likeability.

Things to let go of: stagnation in the mind, issues/traumas that will never be resolved, cruel logic, mind mazes, a closed and broken heart, cutting others down and cutting them off your life, busywork in the mind, finding more and more obstacles and problems to solve, dead ends and unproductive ventures.

How to refine intention: ace of swords (r)

What have I inherited: queen of pentacles (r), the devil, 8 cups (r)

What must I think about / consider when it comes to inheritance in the family: the world (r)

Handling money in my family has been like: 7 pentacles (r)

How can I grow, what new ideas can I bring: the hierophant (r)

Interpretation:

There's confusion and chaos when it comes to this intention, this idea is unrefined. Leave it like that and wait for the dust to settle.

I have inherited (not only what I have seen as a child but what I have become as well):

things only get piled up around the house, lack of maintainance and tending, no self-care and care for others, wasting, misplaced priorities, overbearing, smothering

co-dependence, powerlessness to impulses

aimlessness, hesitation to make needed changes, avoidance, staying in bad situations

To consider: What did I miss out on in my family, in my home? What did I not det? What disclosure is missing? Why is the picture not complete? How did I turn out incomplete?

Family money has been handled as such: bad investments, money has been wasted and has not been invested where it should.
