Okay, so I’ve been feeling this pull to really connect with the lunar cycles, you know? And with the full moon coming up in October, I figured it was the perfect time to do a little card spread. I’m not a pro at this by any means, but I’ve found it can be super insightful.
First things first, I needed to gather my stuff. I grabbed my favorite tarot deck – the one with the really dreamy artwork. Then I lit a couple of candles, just to set a calming vibe. Oh, and I put on some chill background music, the kind with nature sounds. It really helps me focus.
Cleansing and Setting the Space
Before I even touched the cards, I took a few deep breaths. Just kind of centered myself, you know? Then I visualized a white light surrounding me and the cards, clearing out any funky energy. I’m a big believer in that – gotta start with a clean slate!
- I took my sage stick.
- Light the sage.
- Smudged the area around the cards, and myself.
The Spread Itself
For this full moon spread, I decided to keep it simple. I went with a three-card layout.
Here all the cards that I picked:
- Card 1: What needs to be released?
- Card 2: What am I ready to embrace?
- Card 3: What message does the full moon have for me?
I shuffled the deck while thinking about these questions. Really tried to pour my intentions into the cards. Then, I laid them out face down in a row.
The Reading
Okay, this is where it gets personal, right? So, I won’t bore you with all the nitty-gritty details, but I’ll give you the gist.
Card 1: I can’t remember the card, that it was pointing to some old anxieties I’ve been holding onto. Stuff about not being “good enough,” you know, the usual. It was a bit of a “yikes” moment, but also kind of a relief. Like, okay, I see you, anxiety, and I’m ready to let you go!
Card 2: This one was way more positive! It showed me that it will be a great support for creativity. It was all about stepping into my power and expressing myself more fully. I felt a little surge of excitement when I saw that one.
Card 3: The final card was like a gentle nudge from the universe. It was reminding me to trust my intuition and pay attention to the signs around me. Kinda like, “Hey, you’re on the right path, just keep listening to your gut.”
Wrapping Up
After I spent some time reflecting on the cards, I thanked the universe (and the cards!) for the guidance. I wrote down some notes in my journal, just so I wouldn’t forget the key messages. Then, I blew out the candles and sat in the quiet for a few more minutes.
Honestly, the whole experience left me feeling way more grounded and connected. It’s not about predicting the future or anything, but more about getting in touch with myself and the energy around me. If you’re curious about tarot or full moon rituals, I totally recommend giving it a try! Just remember to keep it light and have fun with it.
