Eclipse season — destiny calls.
This week we see the first of two eclipses - a full moon + lunar eclipse in Libra. One way to view an eclipse “season” is as a time of realignment. For the next six weeks or so, synchronicities may increase as fate steps in and take a hand in our lives. We are reminded of, and redirected to, our soul’s purpose. As spring’s rebirth continues, I also offer a spread to tap into the energy of spring cleaning.
Weekly Collective Reading 3/24 - 3/30/24
Embrace: Three of Cups / Friendship + Tern / Precision
It’s a good time to reflect on and celebrate those friendships and relationships that have developed a strong foundation based on trust and honesty. There is immense value in the bonds you share with people who have the same standards, values, and integrity as you. You may find yourself extra delighted by folks who pay attention, who remember the details, and who strive to find ways to achieve the best possible results in their endeavors.
Release: Ace of Cups / Feelings + Vulture / Resourcefulness
A fresh new cup of energy has poured forth as we enter the spring season. This is a good time to clean out and clear out the old — both physical and energetic — to create space for a calm mind and peaceful heart. Look around at your environment. Can you find new use or value in those things that may have previously overlooked? What is no longer need and can be released? What small touches can be added in order to keep things fresh? Clear out the clutter in order to achieve a clear state of mind. Spring cleaning calls!
Advice from Spirit: Queen of Wands / Optimism + Desert Owl / Solitude
As the energy of spring picks up al around, it is important to make time for rest and to strive for a sense of balance. Spend some time in self-reflection, considering how you want this new cycle of seasons to unfold in your life. Dream big, remembering that only you truly know what path and steps will make you feel aligned to your soul purpose. Take a hike or scenic walk, watch the raindrops from your window, or spend some time under the stars. Immerse yourself in nature. Connection to the determined optimism of life, and allow it to fuel your hopes for the future.
Decks: Spirit Garden Tarot and the Birds of a Feather Oracle.
Lunar Eclipse in Libra
On Monday 3/25, a lunar eclipse will occur in Libra. Part of the earth’s shadow will temporarily cover the moon. This will be followed by total solar eclipse occurring on April 8. These eclipses are part of a larger series occurring on the Aries-Libra axis what began in spring 2023 and will continue into spring 2025. Some of the themes that might be explored over the next weeks include how we relate to ourselves versus how we relate to others, working alone versus in a group, and general explorations of the concept of balance in a variety of avenues.
Spring Cleaning
In the northern hemisphere, this time of year is marked by the desire to open all the windows and doors and let the fresh air in. We are able to spend some time in the garden, and perhaps even catch a bit of afternoon sun. Use this spread to explore the seasonal energy of a spring refresh.
From The Studio
I’ve been working a bit on the Secret Garden Oracle Guidebook. The Guidebook and box design are the last steps before I send that deck to print a proof copy. I’ve decided on a card back design:
And I’ll probably incorporate that into the box design as well, maybe on the interior of the tuck box. The outside might look something like this:
