The three cards I pulled for this full moon reading are Strength (which represents the sun in Leo), The Star (the moon in Aquarius) and the six of swords which is the decan associated with this moon.
The full moon illuminates that which has been hidden. The Strength card and The Star card are both very authentic energies to me intuitively. The moon is in Aquarius, which is the ruler of the 11th house which represents, groups, friends, social awareness, hopes, wishes, the future. Leo rules the fifth house, which is about self-expression, fun, play, love, drama, a zest for life. The Sun in Leo and the Moon in Aquarius together are asking you. Have you found your tribe? Does your environment and the people in it support you in a healthy, nurturing way? This can be online as well. Are you appreciated for your unique talents and how you contribute to the group dynamic in your social circles? Are you taking the lead in making your dreams come true? What talents do you possess that could benefit yourself and others at the same time?
As I look at these cards, I get the message of time to shine. But not in a show-off, big, bold, way. Just in an authentic way (there’s that word again). The six of swords is an indication that if your current social environment is not supporting you, it may be time to consider moving on. I find it interesting that all these cards are “quiet” images. Are you considering a new path? Something that is just for you? Or perhaps you have done some soul searching and you realize you have changed. Aquarius energy is an “out of the box” vibe. Maybe there is something you enjoy doing that your current social circles may not “get” or accept. That’s okay. As long as you love doing it, that is what matters. And if this is what brings you joy, so be it. But to have the time to pursue what this is for you, you may need to distance yourself from social obligations or groups that are not in alignment with your goals.
Our current circumstances provide the perfect opportunity to do this. To quietly retrieve the bits and pieces of your energy that you have given to others. Bring it back to nourish yourself. To give you the strength to use that pole in the six of swords, to propel your boat to calmer waters. To pursue the vision of the future that you have in mind for yourself.
Strength and The Star tells us to be gracious and kind to others, especially when parting ways. Many people mistakenly believe that endings need to be big and dramatic. But this is the worst way one can end any type of relationship. Look at the images of Strength and The Star. There is not much activity going on. They are not raucous, loud, rude or angry. These are “classy” ladies! The energy of these cards is one of self-control and a higher awareness.
Notice all the water in these cards. This amplifies the message of staying calm and cool. No need to burn bridges. Just quietly paddle to put some distance between yourself and the past. The Star is a reminder of hope. Of looking forward to the potential that awaits you as you propel yourself in the direction of this new destination. And as your boat goes further and further out, until you are just a spot on the horizon to those you left behind, your boat will become larger and larger as you get closer to your new destination, where your new soul tribe is waiting to celebrate your arrival on the shore.
