Howdy, dreamy water babies! Happy New Moon in Pisces! Here's a collective reading for this moon cycle. May it serve you well:
The overall theme is Territory and the distinctions we draw. We tend to think of territory as the arbitrary lines scrawled across the land to separate us--be they based on identities, geography, politics, philosophies, tastes, etc. What if we shifted our framework to center the land herself and the communities that feel like home? This card is calling us to find our flock.
As we meet this moment, we're represented by the Artist of Feathers crossed by the Seeker of Bottles. Those recent retrogrades taught us a lot about ourselves and allowed us to recontextualize/rewrite our stories, as well as the way we communicate them to ourselves and others.
The Seeker of Bottles reminds us of the importance of self-care and self-love. As you move in the world with these bold new understandings, leave yourself the spaciousness to tend your shifting heart and integrate these lessons. This is not news, as the card representing the last cycle is the SAME energy. Lean into the swimmy Piscean energy - tend your heart, ponder, meander, write the heartfelt poetry, and draw that luxurious bath. Do what works best for you. 💕
What's that subterranean rumble you feel in your bones, you ask? Well, the foundation of the cycle is a call to even greater relationship to who you are and your work in the world. The Mentor of Bones is encouraging us - insisting, really - to keep our eyes open for new teachers. Whether they're someone you see on the daily or only virtually, learn from those who have left the kind of paw prints you'd like to follow.
Identifying those folks provides crucial inspiration and moral support, as you move into the role of The Teacher, yourself. All that study and those life lessons you've navigated are your source material and the basis of the lesson plan you may find yourself sharing with others. Just because you're still enrolled in the school of life, don't mean that you ain't ready to take a go at the lectern.
