Yesterday morning was the new hawthorn moon in Taurus in case you missed it. Through Moonshine with Effy Wild, an incredible online art course which cycles with the moon (see also side button in this blog), I am much more aware of the moon and its phases and also the properties of each moon. It enthralls me. And it's rather magical. Each moon has its strengths so the idea is to make new moon vows, what you'd like to manifest in the next cycle as the moon increases/waxes to full, capitalising on the attributes of that particular new moon.
Hawthorn is the tree sign that this new moon falls on according to the Celtic tree calendar. Hawthorn represents defense and protection. And Taurus is the moon sign for this new moon (also the sun sign at the moment. Sun signs refer to astrology which we're all more familiar with). Taurus, like the sun sign, represents practicality, finances, no-nonsense approaches, realism, physicality. Steady and sensual are its trademarks. I feel drawn to create some regular daily practices in several areas so that I can boost certain things in my life, gain some control. I also feel drawn to share these (and my new moon spread) with you to show accountability. So, this is my rather personal new moon vow...very specific as per the Taurean way. From this new moon to the next, I vow to build a solid foundation of 10 minute (at least) daily focus/practices in the following areas:
So there you have it! Do YOU have a vow you might like to make based on the properties of this new moon? Also a tarot card reading is interesting to do at this time. And I have my lovely new shiny Dreaming Way deck to play with. So this is my new moon spread (complete with shine, sorry). Basically a very positive reading...the 6 swords, far left, represents me right now: moving forward with a purpose, being guided towards a set goal, moving from some turbulence towards more peaceful/tranquil waters/times. Interestingly, I did this reading last night. This morning I did my daily tarot card pull after shuffling the cards thoroughly and the card that came up for today in the Dreaming Way tarot was the 6 swords! Basically, the rest of the reading shows me needing to be firm with boundaries, sticking to my plans, working/creating steadily, head down, stay focused, keep producing. Fresh start financially, rein in the spending, gain control of finances to increase peace and harmony in this area. Others can help me balance some areas, share their tips (hint hint, comments always welcome! Lol!) and show me different ways of achieving balance in all areas. Implementing some regular practices will move me steadily forward in the right direction. I can trust in tried and true wisdom and rely on what has gone before and worked. The concrete focus on building steps will greatly help me and the little by little (but doing something!) approach will prevent me from being overwhelmed and stalled. I'm on the right path, have harnessed the right energies and approach and can move forward with trust and confidence. Did I mention how much I love this deck?

I own several sets of Angel cards from Doreen Virtue. I love the Ascended Masters deck in particular. i also have gathered some smaller packs from specialist magazines which are cute but nothing more in my opinion. I do have a basic tarot deck somewhere too, but I like my Angel cards xx Your comment will be posted after it is approved.
