Weekly Card Drawings and their Lunar Context - Independent of current transits
Full Moon - Culmination, Empowerment
New Moon - Rest, Reflection
Weeks in-between will be a transitional stage from Full to New and back again.
You are welcome to follow along and contemplate, or draw your own card (any deck) to add additional personal context to share and or discuss.
This weeks cards are drawn from the Forager's Daughter Tarot and The Human Design System Rave I'Ching Cards. The focus this week is on the current New Moon in Scorpio which was at its peak approx 2 hours ago. Generally Moon-related readings and rituals can be done within 3 days before or after each Moon phase.
Here are the cards:
High Expressions: Unstoppable Force, Being Propelled Forward, Motivation
Low Expressions: Stagnation, Loss of Control, Feeling Uninspired, Moving Blindly
Gate 51: The Arousing
aka Shock
When we are shocked, we tend to see it as a bad thing. Something that can make us feel out of control. It can remind us of failure; past, present and future. But it serves a purpose! It gets us moving. It can send us on a trajectory in our journey. This can apply to those moments in our life when we are expressing that 8 of Wands energy. Wands is about fire, motivation, spirit, passion, action. You can see the progression of the lines for this gate - it's like a life cycle. A mourning cycle, even. What we are shocked by tends to be something that gets behind our subconscious defenses. This is not a consistent thing when it comes to specifics, but in general, we can find ourselves alarmed and reacting, before we can even think or feel in the moment. So that is where taking care of ourselves, fostering an aligned environment when we can to be more substantial and carry some value and weight to our choices, thoughts and feelings, can help us from being shocked and blasted out of our focus. It'll be more like a reminder from the Universe, from the person/people around you, from where you are at the moment, of an opportunity to learn, grow, be motivated and to propel yourself with the gravity of what is present.
The Scorpio energy of this New Moon will help provide us much insight, perception and feeling of what is right for us, and what is not. It's a great time to take stock and decide what you want to leave, take or welcome into what you carry with you on this next trip through the Lunar phases. The New Moon is a starting point - one of many throughout our lives. Where are you going? - Kevin Come join us, if your Authority dictates... The Human Design Community
