Happy Lughnasad/Lammas 🌾🌞🥖 it’s the midway point between the summer and fall equinox celebrating the first harvest! A time for gratitude, gathering with community, spending time outdoors and enjoying all the juicy and delicious summer foods 🍊🍓🍰🥧🍒🫐 I pulled some cards for this time, let’s get into it!

Ruis Elder
I mention and quote the amazing Sarah Greenman Sarah Greenman and their book The Creative Alchemy Cycle.
“To know ourselves, to acknowledge our history, and to focus our creativity towards reciprocity and accountability is holy work. We are all imperfect vessels for this work, but we must answers earth’s call: to step further into right relationship with everything and everyone around us.” I recommend checking out Sarah Greenman’s book to dive deeper into the themes of this card and the wheel of year.

Initiation from The Rooted Woman Oracle Deck by Sharon Blackie.

Thank you all for listening! I hope these cards provided some inspiration for this time. Let me know in the comments! I hope you enjoy the summer sun ☀️ before we move into the cozy, spooky 👻 🍂fall season.

Follow along for my creative and mystical posts ✨ Much Love 🫶

Happy full moon 🌕 in Aquarius ♒️ it’s Leo season ♌️ My Sun ☀️ is in Leo and my moon 🌙 is in Aquarius, I love this time! A time to honor our inner wild child and get creative! Aquarius is all about community and justice so get out there and stand up for what you believe in! I pulled some cards for this time, let’s get into it!

White Tara
Our first card is female Buddha and Hindu mother creator White Tara, she represents compassion. She encourages us to take care of our mind, body and spirit. To know it’s ok to be sensitive and to protect that part of ourselves. If you’re feeling tapped in and in tune with yourself continue to foster that and to go deeper. If you’re feeling disconnected take some time for yourself, do something that gets you back in to your body and trusting yourself.

Four of Crystals
Four of Crystals in the inner child deck wants us to go deep to find our “creative will” and to take our dreams seriously. The card ask what“ inner vision do we carry? “ and to try and devote ourselves fully to building it! This Aquarius moon tap into your inner crystal gnome child and start working on your dreams!

Stargazer
Don’t talk yourself out of a goal or desire because you think it’s unattainable or you think you don’t deserve it. The stargazer wants you to aim high and trust that the stars and the ancestors got your back! They encourage us to tap into our child like spirit and wish upon a star! This card made me think of “Wishcraft” an amazing book by Shauna Cummins Shauna Cummins What I love about Shauna’s work is she teaches us to not only wish well for ourselves but also others, very Aquarius ♒️ check out Shauna’s work to explore this card further 💗

Thanks for listening! Let me know what resonated below! Follow along for more readings ✨

New Moon 🌚 in Cancer 🦀♋️🐚Hello! It’s the new moon in cancer ♋️ a time to tune into ourselves, get cozy and reflect on our past and what we want to release or process. New moons are always a good time to journal and check in with yourself and set intentions for this next lunar cycle. I pulled some cards for this time, so let’s get into it!

Inner Trust
How can you show up as your authentic self this summer? Stop hiding your true wants and desires and trust your gut!! This card encourages us to step into who we truly want to be, to not hide or dim our lights out of fear. Take time to listen to your intuition and go for it! It’s not always easy to do but take a lesson from the sign of cancer and allow yourself the space alone to get clear, give yourself permission to care for yourself and your dreams.

8 of wands
Swift change. Accomplishment. Progress. This card calls for some quick action, wands are of course the action cards. If things are moving quick for you, try and stay calm and ride the wave 🌊 stay in the moment and try to enjoy it. If it’s the opposite and things don’t seem to be happening fast enough keep the faith, trust in the process or take the necessary steps to get the ball rolling or switch it up! This is a positive card, get out there and have fun! I also can’t help but think of our world in regard to this card and the need for swift collective action and progress when it comes to fighting for our rights and the rights of others. Join a rally if you can or hop on the 5 calls app and let your reps know that we need ICE Out!

Hunter
“Track down your fears and desires.” This is another action card calling for us to step into our power and overcome the obstacles in our way. The new moon is a great time to release our fears and put our dreams out there. Make a list of your fears, tear it up and burn it safely if you want. Then write your desires and feel free to burn or post it somewhere that you can see it and be reminded everyday of want you want!
