Unlock deeper insights and personal growth by incorporating oracle card readings into your full moon rituals. The full moon, a time of heightened energy and illumination, presents a powerful opportunity to connect with your intuition and higher consciousness. By using oracle or tarot cards, you can create a sacred ceremony to explore themes of closure, completion, and shedding what no longer serves you.
This practice allows you to tap into the universal energy of the lunar cycle, revealing hidden truths and guiding you toward your highest potential. Whether you're seeking to understand what's limiting you, what shadows need transmuting, or what hidden talents await discovery, a full moon oracle card spread can provide profound clarity and direction.
Create a Sacred Full Moon Oracle Card Ritual
To maximize the benefits of a full moon oracle card reading, timing and intention are key. Ideally, perform your ritual within 24 hours of the exact full moon time. Begin by creating a sacred space, a quiet and personal sanctuary where you can connect with your inner self. Consider incorporating elements like crystals, sage, or a fire pit to enhance the atmosphere.
As you prepare, cleanse and bless your chosen oracle or tarot deck, setting the intention that the information received comes from the highest light. Before pulling your cards, engage in prayer, meditation, or journaling to set your intentions and align with the full moon's energy. Allow the moonlight to bathe you, and invite the cards to reveal what you've been unable to see. This intimate ceremony fosters a connection with the divine, empowering you to become an alchemist of your own soul.
Dive Deep with a Four-Card Oracle Spread for the Full Moon
A four-card spread is an effective way to explore the themes of the full moon. Start by asking, "What hidden truths do I need to be aware of now?" This card, your anchor card, will serve as a guiding message for the next 30 days. Next, explore "What attachments, unhealthy habits, or patterns am I clinging onto that it's time to release?" This question encourages you to identify and shed what's hindering your growth. Delve into your potential with "What wisdom or hidden talent do I need to be aware of right now?" Finally, contemplate "How will this lunar phase enable me to grow? What is my highest path forward?"
Remember to approach each card with an open mind, focusing on the imagery and numerology before consulting the guidebook. Journal your insights, reflecting on how each card connects to your questions and overall journey. By integrating these messages and taking mindful action, you can harness the full moon's transformative energy to create positive change in your life.

Speaker 1 (00:08):
Hi, everyone, it's Amanda Riga Green. Welcome to Soul Sessions.
I'm so glad you're here today. We're going to do
something that is not only going to be simple and
accessible and a ton of fun, it is wildly profound
and useful. It will activate your higher consciousness, it will
(00:29):
help you better get in touch with yourself, your wisdom,
your intuition, and it's also going to create clarity. We're
going to talk about utilizing oracle cards or tarot cards
during the new and the full moon, and I'm going
to do this in a two part series. So for
(00:50):
this episode, we're going to focus on utilizing these divination
tools as a ritual and ceremony during the full moon,
and then part two will be about the new moon.
And one thing I want to say is you can
utilize this at any time, make it your own, but
(01:10):
you can also use it for eclipses. So this applies
not only to the a regular full moon. It's great
for a full moon eclipse. And if you're working with
eclipse energy, just remember that as you're doing your spread
of cards and your journaling and your ritual, that I'll
walk you through and give you some insights and guidelines
(01:31):
for You'll be thinking in terms of what is going
on now, but how will this impact me in the
course of the next six months. So eclipses trigger a
six month cycle. A regular new or full moon focuses
on a thirty day cycle, a lunation, a full thirty
day cycle where the moon travels all the way around
(01:55):
each of the astrological signs. Focusing on the full moon.
I want to start there because it will be very
helpful because full moons are about closure. They are a
time of completion. And what happens is there's an opposition
between the sun and the moon, and it creates enlightenment.
(02:17):
It sheds light on what has been lurking beneath the surface,
hiding in the shadows, not quite ready to be revealed yet,
or in your subconscious So it is a time of illumination.
Full moons, full moon eclipses are times of closure, letting go, surrender,
(02:37):
healing death and not always literal death. I mean more
so what is dying in you? So it's creating space
for something new to be born. It is a time
of really focusing on shadow work, the darker aspects within yourself,
your psyche, your surroundings, your circumstances that are needing to transmitte,
(02:59):
wanting to be revealed to you for you to heal.
So it's the time of closure versus like a new
moon new moon eclipse, that is a time of planting seeds, initiation,
move forward, new beginnings. So what I'm going to share
with you today about working with oracle cards and tarot
and divination tools, I have done this very ritualistically since
(03:22):
twenty thirteen, and prior to that, I'd always been aware
of a little bit of astrology, moon cycles, things like that,
but when it opened up and activated in me, I
literally I'm laughing about this because it's kind of wild
for me even to say this. I literally have been
(03:43):
doing new and full moon ceremonies and rituals for myself
since twenty thirteen. That's like two a month usually do
that math It's twenty twenty five right now, so it
kind of blows my mind. And of course they have
evolved and changed over the years. There are sometimes where
I'm somewhere where I don't fully go, you know, pull
cards and do the whole ceremony, but I do something,
(04:04):
and most of you have created ritual and consistency around
this and I've shared this often, but the lowest hanging
fruit in terms of spiritual tools, growth, healing, manifesting, all
of those things that we are incorporating and curious about
(04:25):
to me are new and full moons, because every two
weeks you get to work with the universal energies, your
personal energy, and it helps create a framework. One week,
you're working on new intentions, seeding new intentions around the
new moon. What am I doing over the course of
the next thirty days, what's happening? How can I work
with this energy, the astrological signs, and then the full
(04:48):
moon two weeks later says, hey, you know what has
been revealed since then? What am I closing? What am
I shutting? What's getting in my way? What is limiting me?
So it creates this beautiful cycle for the month, for
a calendar month, or for a thirty day cycle, which
is the true lunation depending on the new and full moon,
(05:09):
where you're working with the sun wherever the sun is
transitting for that thirty days and that astrological sign, and
then the moon's journey, and there's more depth we can
get into with this cross quarter Moon's a waning GiB us,
a waxing, give us. There's all sorts of things, but
for the new and the full moon, this is the
one oh one basics. And it's one of those things
(05:31):
for me that I hold sacred every two weeks and
utilize in some capacity. But I would say, gosh, for
five or six years, there was barely a newer full
moon I missed without doing an oracle card spread or
a tarot spread, and I found it to be so
profound and practical and illuminating, and it like I would
(05:54):
pull cards and I would almost go, oh, my gosh,
am I making this up? Did really come through? I
can't believe that this just came through, because this is
exactly what I'm frustrated with, or this is exactly what
I'm healing and working on right now, and that excitement
has never left.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
Every time I.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
Pull cards, I'm always amazed, and every is a big word,
right broad stroke. Pretty much all the time I pull
a card, I'm amazed. And if there's ever a card
I don't pull that I don't understand, usually more will
be revealed. I trust the process. I allow it to
reveal itself to me and do time, so I trust
what's coming through. And then there are other times when
(06:34):
I pull a card, whether it's new or full moon energy,
or I'm needing a card for the day where I
feel like I need more information, so I pull another
card to go with it, so it maybe gives me
more context or information now before I get started on
the full moon. One thing I want to share is
there's a blog that goes with us, so it will
help you break some things down. And I encourage you
(06:56):
to utilize the podcast and the blog, take your notes,
do your stuff, and set up your own practice. But
it will be very helpful. And also I have two
blogs that most of you are aware of or have referenced.
One is working with new Moon energy and the other
is working with full moon energy. And in those blogs,
I break down each of the zodiac signs, so I
(07:18):
go Aris through Pisces with just overarching traits or themes
for a new moon, working with an Ari's new moon,
a Pisce's new moon, a Libra new moon. Same thing
with the full moon blog Pisces full Moon, Libra full moon,
Scorpio full moon, and it has traits and attributes. And
both of those blogs have free ceremonies in them, so
(07:42):
you can download that. So I've created a lot of
resources around this already for you, and I hope they're helpful.
Take what you want, leave the rest. But this is
going to up level, enhance your game, and give you
some new insights to really create psycho spiritual awareness. Okay,
(08:03):
So with the full moon and working with oracle cards,
I've shared this before, I'm going to reiterate it is
for the full moon, you want to find the exact
time of the moon. I usually share this in my forecast.
You can just go on your search engine and say, oh,
there's an area's full moon on XYZ date, what time
(08:25):
is it and whatever time zone they put it in
you calculate your time zone. But what you want to do,
as a rule of thumb is you do your ritual
ceremony oracle tarot spread after the moon is exact, not before,
And this applies to new and full moons. But the
energy is building and the exact moment of the opposition
(08:48):
if we're talking about a full moon, does not happen
till a moment, and it's like everything needs to crescendo
and build, and then you settle into your ceremony or
you begin your ceremony and of course there are full
moons that happen at two in the morning and six
in the morning and two in the afternoon on a
Tuesday when you're at work. Don't stress about this. It
(09:10):
doesn't have to be perfect. Do it when you get
home if it's at two in the afternoon on a Tuesday,
or once you put your kids to bed that night,
do your ritual or ceremony or first thing in the morning.
You do you and work with the calendar loosely, yet
(09:30):
utilize the rule of thumb after it is exact, and
you don't want to do it three days after it
is exact. And there are ways to get more specific
in this, because the moon could go into something we
call a void, of course, which means it is about
to change signs from one zodiac sign to another, and
it is out in a void where it isn't in
(09:50):
no contact with other planets. I don't want you to
stress about this. There are just way more ways you
can drill down to when you should do your intention.
But you know what, so what, it's not about it
being perfect. It's about the energy and the action you're
taking around it. But I just wanted to give you
a little bit of context because there can be more layers,
(10:13):
there are more schools of thought and rules of thumb.
But for our purposes today, allow the full moon to
be exact, and then you within the next twenty four
hours as best you can do your ritual. First of all,
you want to create some sacred space. So whether it's
your spouse or your kids or your roommates, you want
(10:36):
to create quiet time, alone time and listen. There have
been times where I have sat in a closet and
done my oracle card spreads because I've been out of
town or you know, I'm with friends and I'm saying, okay,
I need an hour to go sit and do my thing,
or I do it first thing in the morning. I
find intimate alone time to do this. And yes, I've
(10:57):
done plenty of ceremonies in groups and on retreats and
with people. That's amazing too. You can do this, but
this is about your regular practice, your personal practice. So
carve out an hour, carve out that time as your
sacred time. And I can't tell you how many times
I've sat down at six pm to do this, and
(11:19):
next thing I know it's eight thirty or nine, because
I get so into it and I I just am
in the energy and it's helpful in that sense. Oftentimes,
especially when I was doing this.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
I would do this outside.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
We had a beautiful fire pit and backyard on a
couple of acres of land, and I would go out
to the fire pit. I would create a big crystal
grid and I'd have all my tools and resources in
my sage and I would do it outside and I'd
leave the grid out two or three nights.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
You can do all of this stuff.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
I would leave my cards out sometimes under the moonlight.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
So you can do that.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
Get creative, put them in your window seal. I want
you to make this your own and know that that
is your intuition, you follow it. There's no perfect formulary.
So with pulling oracle cards for a full moon, the
intention and the energy is really to look at what
(12:19):
is needing to be healed, let go of shed, released, grieved,
surrendered to What is limiting or holding you back from
your evolution, from your growth? What is creating tension, what
is creating a lot of polarity that is the basis
(12:42):
of the full moon. What is the shadow that is
occurring within and around you, that is asking to be
alchemized or transmuted. So that's the intention around a full
moon that you bring to your deck of cards, and
I shared with everybody. You can either use an oracle
(13:03):
deck or a tarot deck. If you're comfortable with the
tarot and familiar with it, use your tarot cards. If
oracle cards are your language, use those. And if you
don't know the difference between the two, I'll tell you
that right now. Tarot cards are a set deck of cards.
There's twenty two cards in the major arcana and then
(13:23):
you have the remaining cards. So you have this big
deck of cards that basically walks through all sorts of
archetypes and has different suits so to speak, that have
different messages and meanings. The tarot is defined, and you
may have different tarot decks and interpretations, but there are
the same cards essentially and archetypes and lessons and meanings
(13:47):
ascribed to those cards. An oracle deck is more loose,
it's more artistic, and there's a gajillion different flavors of
oracle decks. So if you're into animal cards and animal medicine,
that you get an animal oracle deck. If you're into angels,
(14:08):
there's tons of angel decks. There are so many decks
out there, and most of you, I hope have a
deck or two. When I first started out, the very
first deck I was drawn to was by Colette Baron Reed.
She has a blethera of decks, and she really focuses
on her oracle cards and oracle decks. I do believe
(14:29):
she has a tarot deck or two, but her oracle
decks are excellent. Who I gravitate towards now around my
oracle decks is a Lena Fairchild. And the first deck
I got of hers was called the Sacred Rebels, and
that was probably back in twenty seventeen, twenty eighteen. I
was in Sedona and I encountered this deck and it
(14:51):
just spoke to my soul and blew my mind. And
since then I am very familiar with her decks. She's incredible.
She speaks to me me in a language that very
much resonates with something sacred, divine and higher. So I
gravitate towards her decks these days when it comes to
oracle decks and the usage of that. Also when I
(15:14):
do a spread, sometimes I'll use two or three decks
in my spread for a new or full moon because
I want to. I'm like, Okay, I'm gonna pull this
fairy deck and this tarot deck and this you know,
shamanic wisdom deck, and I'll do different flavors, but oftentimes
I use one deck. You do you whatever you're called to,
(15:36):
have fun with it, and the cards they'll work together.
They totally will work together, and it's kind of mind
blowing at times. Okay, So get your deck, get your
sacred space, get your crystals out, don't get your crystals out,
(15:58):
get your sage, do what.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
You want to do.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
Get your journal. Absolutely, the journal here is my like,
that's my favorite part of it, is the journal and
the things that I get to write on and what
comes through me during this really sacred time. So get
your journal, create your sacred space. The first thing that
is important to do once you're in your sacred space
(16:22):
is to clear your deck, to bless your deck. And
there's no magic formularity to this. For me, A lot
of times I'll take some sage or Palo Santo and
I will literally like hold my cards out and cleanse
and clear the deck. And as I do that, I say,
I'm cleansing and clearing the energy around this deck. For
the highest divine wisdom to be revealed to and through me.
(16:47):
Thank you, I bless this deck. So the information being
transmitted is coming from the highest light, love and vibration
for my highest path forward and for the greatest good.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
So bless your deck. Thank it.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
Cleanse the energy and you don't have to have Palo
Santo or sage to do that. You just your thought,
your mind and your intention. Does it clear the deck?
You know?
Speaker 2 (17:13):
Like that is good enough?
Speaker 1 (17:14):
So do that first, and sit for a few minutes
in the full moon energy and recognize, pray, set some
intentions for yourself before you even begin to divine, before
you begin to draw cards, hold the deck close to
your heart and just breathe. Turn on some meditation music
(17:37):
if you like. If you are sitting out under the
full moonlight, let the moonlight hit your face and your spirit,
and say, you know, may these cards reveal to me,
you know what I have been unable to see. Help
These words and these messages come from the highest point
of light that is clearing and cleaned my spirit and
(18:01):
showing me the path forward. Give me the courage to
hear the messages and to healthfully integrate them. Over the
course of the next thirty days, and if it's in
an eclipse, over the course.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
Of the next six months.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
So that way you're just conditioning yourself and setting yourself
up for success. And as you say those things and
think those things, believe them. Part of the magic is
in the utter surrender to the mystery and the divine.
I mean, I just like I said, every time I
read cards for someone or myself, I don't really read
(18:36):
cards for people that often like it's not my thing.
I will do it for fine, or I'll do it,
you know, if we're in a group setting and things
like that. But I read cards for myself. It's a
very intimate and private thing. And when you're working in
sacred space and ceremony, this isn't something that I take
a bunch of pictures of and share on social media.
(18:56):
To me, sacred space is sacred space and time and
my communion with a divine I might every now and
then take a picture of my sacred space and share it,
but rarely do I do that because I don't need
to document it through a camera or a lens. I'm
documenting it in my spirit. So just think about it
(19:17):
as basically your very intimate time with your higher self
and the universe where you're alchemizing. You're becoming the alchemist
of your own soul, and it's creating a ripple out
into the cosmos.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
So after you've gotten.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
Still and quiet and held the deck close and conditioned
it and conditioned the full moon energy, then you're gonna pull.
I'm going to suggest a four card spread. There are
lots of card spread, three cards spread, seven cards spread,
twelve cards spread, and believe me, I've done them all.
There are times when I have done like a twelve
(19:51):
card spread. Now you wonder why it takes me two
hours to do this, but oftentimes it's a three or
a four card spread for me. And in the block,
I base it on a four card spread. Of course,
you can add your own magic, change it up, but
this is just a great framework to use. I do
a four card spread. And today what I'm gonna do
(20:13):
is I'm gonna walk you through this and I'm gonna
pull cards for us and the intention with these cards.
And if you're listening on any of the podcast platforms, awesome.
But if you're watching on YouTube, you got it right here.
I'm shuffling cards and shuffling my deck I've already cleared
this deck, by the way, I cleared it before I
started recording the podcast. But I'm gonna go ahead and
(20:33):
say made the messages and information that come through in
these cards bring the highest path forward for all of
us listening, all of us listening at any given time,
breaking the barriers of time and space, connecting us all
through the multiverse in the highest realms, in the highest light,
for the highest path love and healing forward. Thank you,
(20:54):
Thank you cards. And these cards I'm gonna pull. I'll
tell you what deck I'm using. I'm using my og deck,
which is the first oracle deck I ever got. I
got it in twenty thirteen, and it's collect Baron Reads
Enchanted Map, and this deck was it speaks to my soul.
It's an easy one for me to use, and it's
tried or true. So that's the deck I'm using, the
(21:15):
Enchanted Map by collect Bearon Read. All right, you can
check the blog out for the questions. So I'm going
to pull a card for everyone, and then I'm going
to interpret it for us all and then I'm going
to show you how it interpret it for myself and
what I do with my journaling. So I'm going to
make this very practical but also universal. All Right, the
first card I'm asking and a card just flew out,
(21:36):
and I haven't even asked the question yet, which that
happens all the time. So the card that's emerging has
just emerged. And the question I was going to ask
is what hidden truths do I need to be aware
of now? What needs to be revealed to me now
that I have not been ready to or able to
(21:57):
see up until now.
Speaker 2 (21:59):
So that's the question.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
What do we what hidden truths do we need that
we have not been ready to see or perceive or
understand up until now. All right, this is.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
Kind of cool.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
The card that flew out is called Slow and Steady,
and it is a stunning card. If you're watching on YouTube,
I'm putting it up to the screen, but if you're listening,
it is this woman like a fairy coming out of
a snail shell. And the snail is definitely like the
Fibonacci sequence. The woman is basically a fairy with beautiful
(22:35):
translucent wings and her hand is on her heart. Now
I'm describing this to you all because this is the
first thing you want to do, is before you even
read the message. Look at the imagery of the card.
What do you see from this? The first thing I
see for all of us is when we're in our
(22:56):
hearts center, we will have everything illuminated to us when
we are in our heart. And that Fibonacci sequence in
the snail, of course, a snail denotes slow and steady
wins the race. Slow down, y'all, slow down, Amanda. But
also that Fibonacci sequence that spiral. The divine codes here,
(23:20):
the divine geometry in this the sacred geometry of infinity
because the Fibonacci sequence goes on forever. So there's an
infinite quality to this card. There's an otherworldly translucent quality.
There's a fairy, so it's talking about other realms, things
that we cannot see using our fancy and our imagination.
(23:43):
The woman's hand is on her heart. She is literally
connecting with her heart chakra and fifth dimensional consciousness to
speak in some language that we've been using. And the
message is slow and steady. So you can see how
much I just interpreted from the card without getting to
(24:05):
my own stuff or your stuff yet, right, But the
message for all of us, which I think we can
all relate to right now, is to slow down, to
get still, to go within, find the divine within. Slow
and steady wins the race. Now I'm going to throw
(24:27):
you all for a loop here. When this card fell
out of my deck, it did not fall out upright.
It fell out reversed. So let's just monkey wrench it
up right. So here's the deal. Whenever you pull a
card and you pull it in the reverse, don't go
I got the reverse Like I do that sometime I'm like, ah,
(24:49):
all that means, and this is the way I interpret it.
All that means is I need to learn this lesson
because I'm being stubborn, Amanda. Get the heck out of
your own way, y'all, get out of your own way
and slow down. And hello, we all know how busy
we are. We are running marathons in life and work
(25:10):
and family and responsibility and adulting, and we live in
a microwave culture. One of the things that we have
talked about, and I'm specifically thinking about my conversation about
the astrology of twenty twenty five with Hannahs elsewhere where.
We talked about the north note of the moon moving
into Pisces, and a big part of that is slowing down,
(25:32):
going within, and guess what the opposite. The South note
in Virgo says, I want to get things done. I
want to get them down now, I want to do
them in a quality, orient and manner. Well, while that
practical action is important, the answer lies in getting still
and going within. So anytime you get the reverse, don't
try to flip it and want the other like. Take
(25:54):
what you get and trust that. Don't be upset with it.
Just go with it and say, Okay, I hear this
message loud and clear. Slowing down right now is the
hidden truth that is actually the key to my success
that maybe I wasn't able to really hear last week
(26:15):
because it was just too hard or there was too
much going on. But today this is the information being
revealed to me that I am ready to hear that
is going to be relevant to my journey forward, my
quantum leap. Now, after you've gotten your card and your message,
you can go to the guidebook, and whether you've got
(26:37):
a Tiaro deck or an Oracle deck, you go to
the meaning of the card. And this is the twelfth card.
And of course it's a twelve. And it's kind of
funny because if you're listening to this in real time.
I'm recording it in March of twenty twenty five, and
it's a twelvemonth, don't you love Like there's number codes,
and I always look at the numbers. Whether the numerology
is correlated with the messages of collet bear and reads
(27:01):
cards are correlated numerologically with the messages, but I always
look at the number. What's the number code? So you
can go a step deeper and look at the number.
It's the number twelve, the number of creation. Creativity comes
from the divine. When I get slow and steady, there's
another way to start drawing messages and interpretations from this. Okay,
(27:21):
I'm going to go to the guidebook and I'm going
to read read us what it says in the guidebook reversed. Okay,
slow and steady means slow and steady wins the race. Okay,
we've already talked about that. Here is the reversed message.
Pushing things forward impulsively will not only prevent success, but
(27:42):
potentially cause more trouble than you're prepared to handle. Moving
too quickly will only yield unripe fruit.
Speaker 2 (27:51):
Y'all.
Speaker 1 (27:52):
I've been talking about low hanging fruit and the fact
that this is the card I pulled, and it's saying
unripe fruit and that analogy again. See I told you
my mind is always blown by this. I'm like, is
this It's amazing Like spirit is always there? Right, Okay,
moving too quickly will only yield unripe fruit with a
bitter taste. Slow down, breathe, meditate. You are not a
(28:17):
human doing you are a human being.
Speaker 2 (28:21):
Just be.
Speaker 1 (28:22):
Everything will work out if you can apply the brakes
and become more aware of what's happening in this moment.
A calm focus on the now, breathing in the beauty
of your surroundings will restore your power to consciously co
create your world. All fruits ripen in their own time. Okay,
(28:44):
I'm just having a mind blown moment just because I've
been talking about low hanging fruits. So I love how
in your face this card is for me and also
for all of us in recognizing impulsivity, because the energy
now in general has a lot of knee jerk impulsivity.
(29:05):
If we look at the astrology and the numerology, and
one of the messages this month is about slowing down,
So for all of us remembering to breathe, get still, meditate,
go within, put your hand on your heart, recognize that
everything is being orchestrated in divine timing. So where I
would go After I pull my card and I have
(29:26):
my moment and my amazement with it, I will start
journaling because I will say, Okay, what is coming through
for me? Where am I rushing things? This is being
revealed to me now? And what am I rushing? How
am I rushing things? Why am I afraid of slowing down?
What is the fear behind that? And I'll get into
(29:47):
the guidebook and I'll underline things and write out words
that stand out to me or phrases, and then I
will journal on them based on my personal experience and
what is coming through. So essentially, while you're doing this,
you're interconnecting your head in your heart. You're using your
cognisance and your cognition around the card and the messages,
(30:09):
and then you are psycho spiritually starting to integrate pull
into your heart and you're channeling. Many of you know
what it feels like to just start journaling and just
stuff flies out of your pen and onto the page.
Speaker 2 (30:24):
Enjoy it.
Speaker 1 (30:24):
You journal for each card as long as you want
to or need to you just go with the flow,
but also write down whatever is being revealed. If it's
bringing you into the past of where you've rushed things
in the past and then fruit has not been ripened,
it's been bitter. Listen to those analogies. See what is
coming to your cognizance and your consciousness in that moment
(30:48):
that relates to your current experience. And if I take
this card and I get honest and vulnerable for all
of you for a minute, and I interpret this for myself,
the first thing that comes to mind is, as of late,
I'm just laughing because of the truth of it and
(31:10):
the true nature. As of late, I've been feeling all
of this kind of energy within, like I need to
say this, I need to get this done. People are
misunderstanding me, or I'm feeling misunderstood. I need to just
set the record strate, I need to set the record
s rate. And that need is kind of a like
an impulsive word.
Speaker 2 (31:28):
I need.
Speaker 1 (31:29):
I got to. I have to that kind of energy.
And it's funny because today I was thinking I don't
need to do anything.
Speaker 2 (31:37):
I need to just.
Speaker 1 (31:38):
Be be who I am. Be Still more will be revealed,
surrender to the mystery, Amanda. That's what I've been saying lately,
surrender to the mystery. So this card for me shows
me exactly what feels unnatural to me to just be.
Be still, don't need to say do inter in any way,
(32:02):
just be, allow the universe to respond to my needs
so my action can be aligned and in the highest good.
So this card totally applies to me, and I'm sure
it resonates with many of you out there, and I'm
curious to hear what's coming up for you and maybe
where this hits home. So definitely drop me a line
(32:23):
podcast at Soulsessions dot me and maybe we'll have some
time to share some of the feedback on one of
the future podcasts. All right, so that's the first card,
and I put the first card in my spread. Last
thing I want to say about the first card.
Speaker 2 (32:36):
Let's call it.
Speaker 1 (32:37):
Our anchor card, meaning it's the main archetype of my
whole reading. It is really the central core to the
whole reading. It's to me, the foundational card and what
will take me through the next thirty days. So what
I recommend after your reading, when you close your sacred space,
(32:58):
I would put that card on your desk, like right,
here I'd put it. I will put this card right
in front of me after I wrap this up, or
maybe on my mirror in my bathroom or next to
my bed, or on my little altar wherever you will
see it, and you'll get that reminder. Oh, slow down, breathe.
The fruit is not ripe yet. There's more to be revealed.
(33:23):
I surrender to the mystery of the universe. So this
is your anchor card. All right, let's do the second card.
Let's see what comes through. So I'm gonna go ahead.
And there's a card that came out and I haven't
even asked the question again, It's just how it works.
I'm not even gonna look at it yet. But it
flew out. The question I was going to ask, is
what attachments unhealthy habits, behaviors or patterns am I clinging
(33:48):
onto that It is time for me to let go
of set a new boundary around what unhealthy habits, patterns, behaviors, environments,
relationship am I ready to to reveal? Like? What is
it that I need to know that is actually limiting
my abundance? What needs to shit in order for me
(34:09):
to shift? Okay, I pulled this one in reverse too,
so I guess we're just needing some hardcore lessons today.
And the first thing I noticed on this card it's
the Field of Dreams and it's got fairies in it. Again,
this whole deck doesn't just have fairies in it, so
there's not a lot of cards with fairy energy, so
there's a correlation. There's also a full moon in this card,
(34:34):
like there is a full moon, and we're doing this
for a full moon spread. And the number on the
card is twenty one if you remember the last card
was twelve. This stuff lights up my soul. I'm like,
I don't need any more information than that. I'm already
on board. I'm like, yes, I got it all right.
This is the Field of Dreams, and there's all these
beautiful fairies and they're coming out of these eggs and
they're playing music, and there's butterflies, and there's this gorgeous
(34:58):
rolling field and cloud. It's in kind of sparkly fairy
dusk coming out of the sky, out of the new moon.
The Field of Dreams. Of course, I know this card
and I know the meaning behind it. But what I
would see in this is get into my dream state,
Get into my dream state and it goes so beautifully.
(35:19):
With the slow and steady wins the race card. They
start to tell a story, right, the cards tell a story,
So we have slow down, meditate, breathe more will be revealed.
And then my question was what and healthy habits patterned
am I needing to get rid of in.
Speaker 2 (35:35):
Order to heal?
Speaker 1 (35:38):
And this is the field of Dreams card, so it's
asking me to go into my dream state. And the
first thing that comes to mind for all of us
and for myself is get out of your rational mind.
Quit rationalizing, Amanda, because the Field of Dreams card is
anything but rational. It's creative, it's imaginary, it's the stro plane.
(36:01):
So drawing this card upside down but in general, says
to me, what am I needing to let go of
my rationalization and my thinking mind? Get out of my
head and into my heart. I'm going to read the
interpretation of a card for everybody because it'll give us
more juice, more energy, more to think about. All right,
(36:21):
the field of dreams, your thoughts, feelings, and beliefs are
always engaging with the vast field of pure potential. So this, again,
like the first card, is talking about becoming a conscious
co creator meaning, our thoughts, our rational thoughts. Everything we
are thinking is engaging with the field.
Speaker 2 (36:41):
At all times.
Speaker 1 (36:43):
So here's the message in the reversed. Are your dreams
your own? Are they really someone else's? Have you chased money,
possessions or prestige? Have you placed security above fulfillment? Has
approval seeking played a major in your motivations to succeed?
And I'm like raising my hand for that, because this
(37:04):
is some old stuff for me, and I've actually been
meditating a lot on this lately, and I'll share the
remainder of that in a minute with you. This is
the time for you to access the validity of your dreams,
your talents, your willingness to be a channel for inspiration
and creativity. Don't be afraid to enter the field of dreams,
(37:25):
for you can always clear new ground for new and
better things to grow. Nature has a way of self
correcting if you're willing to act with authenticity. The power
to create is inside you.
Speaker 2 (37:39):
So first of.
Speaker 1 (37:41):
All, I think you all can hear both cards are
basically saying, slow down, go within, go within yourself, Go
within your dreams, go within your heart. Get imaginative and creative.
As I interpret this card, and listening to that message.
It's so oh amazing because I've been doing personally a
(38:04):
lot of work around carrying the limiting beliefs of my parents.
We all absorb the limiting beliefs and unlimiting beliefs of
our environments, right, and I for the past two weeks
I have been really focusing on what traits, behaviors, beliefs,
and limitations that I absorbed from my parents that may
(38:26):
or may not have been mine. So it's funny that
this message is what is your motivation? Here? Is your
motivation coming from something external, someone, someplace, or something. And
for not all of my life, but for a big portion,
I was doing things out of expectations of other people
or other people's stories, And of course that has transformed
(38:49):
for me vastly over the years. But lately this exact
message on here has been something I'm saying, I am
completely ready to go of any limitations, beliefs, or behaviors
that are not coming from my soul and with around
my fears. So for me personally, this actually resonates in
(39:14):
all the words and language in this card and the
reversed position of it. Are your dreams your own? Are
they someone else's. My dreams today are my own. But
for a long time, my dreams were absolutely expectations that
I had interpreted from my parents, and that kicked into
high gear. So it took a long time to discover
(39:36):
and uncover my own dreams. But I've really been resonating
around this. Have you chased money, possessions or presties. Absolutely,
I used to do this. My family taught me if
I have a credential or out external success or a
great job, then I am valuable and there's no shade
on my family. That is just part of our story
is that the worst doesn't come from within, it comes
(39:57):
from credentials and achievements. So yes, this has been me
in the past, but this has been stuff I've been
reflecting on and how much I've grown and changed, and
how my values and behaviors and friendships and relationships have
evolved as a result. So this card for all of
us is a wonderful reminder to get clear around our
(40:20):
own fulfillment, our own dreams, pay attention to our dreams,
and full moons, because this is a full moon spread.
Full moons are a time to pay attention to your dreams.
So I would journal on this card, of course, and
I would relate it back to all the things that
are resonating for me personally now. And because the question
was what attachment limiting beliefs are holding me back that
(40:44):
I am really ready to let go of. This solidifies
everything I have been praying about recently. May I unconsciously
move from a higher plane, devoid of limiting beliefs of
my past, my environment, my circumstances, and come from the now.
So I would journal on that and write out some examples,
(41:06):
and then I would start writing intentions from this. Definitely,
this to me has a lot of intentions. So for example,
and I'm just going to use the guidebook as an example,
it says are your dreams your own? Or are they
really someone else's? I would write, my dreams are my own.
My dreams are coming from my higher self now, and
this day forward, I am becoming more fulfilled in my
(41:27):
divine alignment each and every day. Thank you. Like that
just is flowing out of me. But I would probably
journal something like that today I am experiencing fulfillment. When
I am fulfilled, I feel safe because it says, are
you placing security above fulfillment? So I just flipped the
script and saying, today I am experiencing fulfillment. And when
I am fully fulfilled, I am whole enough and safe.
(41:48):
Just as I am, I am a channel of divine
inspiration and creativity. I am clearing new ground for better things.
Nature is helping me auto correct over the course of
the next days. And I am behaving authentically. I am
acting authentically. I am authentic in all that I do
with myself, with others, and with my higher power.
Speaker 2 (42:09):
So you see, I mean, I.
Speaker 1 (42:10):
Just am playing on the words in here to create
intentions for the full moon cycle.
Speaker 2 (42:17):
All right, let's do the next card.
Speaker 1 (42:25):
All right, let's do the next card. I hope you're
having fun with this since it's just giving you more
insight and guidance into not only like how amazing these
cards are, but also how you can be creative and
play with this stuff. Okay, another card flew out and
I haven't asked a question. I mean, we're seeing a
pattern here. The next question I was going to ask
(42:45):
is what wisdom or hidden talent do I need to
be aware of right now to help me in my
healing path forward over the next few weeks. What is
my hidden talent? What's my superpower, what's my you know,
super resource, my divine resource that I am needing for
the path forward? Okay, I did not pull this card
in rivers, so it's upright. It's the movement card. And
(43:09):
this card cracks me up. And I've pulled this card
many a time. It is an ostriche, and the ostrich
has this beautiful like little landscape on its back with
a windmill, and there is a hot air balloon off
in the distance. But the ostriche is moving out of
this muddy muck onto green grass. And as you all know,
(43:34):
ostriches are the fastest running birds there are. I don't
know about road runners, but I'm pretty sure Ostricheah. I
can't remember how many miles an hour ostriches run. You know,
when they run, they run really really fast. But the
ostrich is like taking a step at a time. So
the movement card, it's funny because we got slow and
steady wins the race the dream card, and now we've
got movement, so not stuck anywhere. But I want to
(43:58):
share this with you all because I've I know this
deck so darn well. The card that comes before this
card is the stuck in the mud card, and it's
an elegant stuck in the mud. And so the card
after that is the movement card. So I automatically know
I'm like over the next two weeks, I don't want
to feel stuck. I want to take action. I want
to move. But this is about deliberate movement. And the
(44:21):
number on the card is twenty eight. Two plus eight
equals ten. That's a one, and so of course one,
I need to take action. It's the energy of the
one is about initiation action. I need to make changes.
I need to take have some movement to apply these
changes in my life. And I ask, what you know
(44:42):
my tool was my superpower over the course of the
next few weeks, is is to me take deliberate, intentional movement,
quality oriented steps each and every day. What action am
I taking today? How am I demonstrating that I am healing,
changing growth, getting out of my head into my heart,
those kinds of things. So let's read. Let's read the
(45:05):
message on the card. You are in a time of
positive forward motion. This is the time for positive momentum
as you come out of a period of restriction. You
are in a stage of new adventure and discovery. You
may feel compelled to take a trip, change your hair,
or move home or business. Regardless, you can't remain where
(45:29):
you are anymore. You feel compelled to go forward. No
matter what your inquiry, you will see your dreams. There
we go again take form, and doors previously shut begin
to open, as if by magic. I'm going to read
the rest of the card, But what I will tell
you about this is I ask what the superpower was,
(45:51):
What what's going to be my best course of action,
superpower tool to use? And it's saying, you know, movement,
take action. But what I love about this as it
says doors previously shut will now be open. So you
know what that tells me, don't be discouraged, Try try,
try again. If there was a door that I approached
a few months ago and I got rejected or it
(46:13):
didn't open, maybe it's time to come at it at
a fresh approach, with a new consciousness, a new awareness.
So it's saying, hey, don't be stubborn, Like, if that
door is there and it's still in your heart, try
to open.
Speaker 2 (46:24):
It this time.
Speaker 1 (46:25):
You might be surprised because it may open as if
by magic. Movement is also a state of mind. The
fog lifts and you now know the actions you need
to take. This isn't the time for fear. Let go
and move forward. There's so much that we can journal
on and receive from this. It's about taking action and
(46:48):
remembering that sometimes we take one step forward and two
steps back. But it's about taking action, but taking action
with love and removing the fear. It's a time of
adventure discovery. So I would of course journal on this
because it totally relates to where I am now and
(47:09):
things that are going on in my life. I'm like, Okay,
of course, it is time to take slow, steady, deliberate action.
But it's a time of forward motion and I'm truly
feeling that right now in my life and it feels
like I'm just I've removed the force and I'm in
the flow and it's magical. So that's what this movement
(47:29):
is about, is being in the flow the force field,
not applying self will and force, and absolutely recognizing when
my actions come from a place of fear or doubt
versus love and adventure. So again you can take some
of the messages from here. I am available for positive momentum,
I embrace the new adventure and changes coming up in
(47:52):
my life. Dreams that previously did not come to fruition,
they are available to me now, and I am going
to be awestruck at the Universe's gifts to me.
Speaker 2 (48:05):
Movement is a state of mind.
Speaker 1 (48:07):
My mind is flexible, my eyes are open, my perspective is.
Speaker 2 (48:14):
Wide.
Speaker 1 (48:15):
I don't know. Just write your you know, like I'm
just giving you some juice, but you relate it to yourself,
and then write those intentions. And before I pull this
last card and we we wrap this up and see
what the closing message is going to be. If you've noticed,
none of the questions that I've asked have been like,
(48:36):
you know, am I going.
Speaker 2 (48:37):
To move next month?
Speaker 1 (48:39):
Am I going to be able to be happy in XYZ?
Speaker 2 (48:42):
Am I getting a new job?
Speaker 1 (48:45):
When I work with Oracle Cards, it is rare that
I ask a specific question about a relationship or a
work thing. I will be thinking it, like before I start,
I will say, Okay, this relationship is weighing on me,
or I'm really concerned about my direction with work today
and I don't know the answers, so I throw that
(49:07):
up there. The universe knows what I'm struggling with. I
don't have to spell that out specifically. I keep this
open ended because I can relate all these things to
the minutia that I have questions around. So keep these
questions open ended, and know that the universe is responding
with the messages you need for specific circumstances. And loosen
(49:31):
your grip on the details. And again remember North note
in Pisces, loosen the grip on the details, surrender to
the mystery, and that is the energy we'rein. Okay, the
last card that I'm going to pull. The question is
how will this lunar phase enable me to grow? What
is in my future? What is the future.
Speaker 2 (49:52):
Ahead of me?
Speaker 1 (49:53):
What is the highest outcome? What is the highest path
forward through all of this? All right is being revealed?
What is my highest outcome? What is the highest path
forward through this lunar face? I love this and I
pulled it in reverse, So, okay, what is the highest outcome? Oh,
(50:15):
you're gonna get out of your own stubborn way, Amanda,
and y'all. It's the heal the ouch card. It's the
sweetest little card. There's a raccoon and a fox, and
the fox has like an ice pack on its head,
and the raccoon is like the doctor or the nurse,
and he's tending to the fox. And so heal the
ouch is is the card and the number is thirty eight,
(50:38):
which is the number eleven three plus eight equals eleven
master number eleven. So interconnection of the head and the heart,
interconnection of the human and the superhuman. But heal the
ouch I said, what is the outcome of all of
this is that my suffering will be alleviated. And in
reverse to me, what that says for you, for me,
(51:00):
for all of us is the fear and the doubt
and the pain and the stuff that we are hanging
onto that I'm hanging onto that I'm like, Yeah, but
who am I gonna be if I don't have this
drive or this motivation or this success or this relationship?
Like or are people gonna be mad at me?
Speaker 2 (51:16):
You know?
Speaker 1 (51:16):
All that stuff that we cling onto. It's saying the
other side of all this, y'all, And Amanda, is you're
gonna really heal it. The more painful it is, the
bigger the healing. That's a really sweet cart. I'm gonna
read you again the message, the message in reverse heal
the ouch Ah forgiveness is the healer of the soul, y'all,
(51:43):
this is so funny. I forgot that that was the
main message on this card. I've been like practicing a
lot of forgiveness lately of myself and other people and
attitudes and behaviors and thinking about my parents. I mean,
just on so many levels, forgivenesses. You know, forgiveness justis
me down, like you know, if I'm not forgiving someone
or something. And so I've been just saying thank you
(52:05):
that I'm so forgiving, that I'm letting go, that I'm
practicing acceptance whatever it may be around. So for that
to be the main message here is this is my reward,
this is my outcome, is that I'm gonna be able
to forgive and it's gonna set me free.
Speaker 2 (52:20):
And it's reminding me that I need to keep.
Speaker 1 (52:22):
Flexing my forgiveness muscles, become open and willing to practice
forgiveness actively. And you know what else, it tells me that,
remember how I pulled it in reverse. Over the course
of the next thirty days, I may encounter a lot
of things that I'm gonna be tested and gonna have
to practice a little forgiveness around. The cards are cheeky, right,
like That's the other thing I read into the card
(52:43):
is you know what, Amanda, if you want to really
forgive and really be set free, then all right, over
the next thirty days, we'll give you some things to forgive.
We'll see if you really mean it, girlfriend, Like, that's
what it says to me. All right, here's the message reversed.
This card is a message urging you to make amends
for any harm you've done to another appraisal for yourself. Honestly,
(53:06):
have you been selfish, greedy, inconsiderate of others? Have you
harbored resentments to those who have harmed you in the past.
Practice deep and radical forgiveness. In order to be free
to no healing. You must surrender to old hurts and
begin anew Forgiving yourself and loving yourself is important too.
Be humble and willing to admit your weaknesses, know the
(53:28):
imperfections of the human personality. Walk tall as you take
the path of the shaman, the wise elder who is
willing to go into the shadows to bring healing light
to old wounds. One of the things about this deck
and this card is Collett Baron Reid has been in
sobriety a long time, and this is the first deck
(53:50):
I bought, and I was new in sobriety, and you
can tell that this basically comes very very much out
of the Book of Alcoholics Anonymous. It's got a lot
of jargon around the ninth step of AA, and so
I resonate with it. I have someone who walks me
through these things and practicing amends. So what comes out
(54:13):
of this card for me and for all of us
is up. I probably need to really look at my
side of the street and recognize where I need to
make amends. So not just practicing forgiveness. Are there areas
in my life where I need to make amends And
I can think of a couple right now, right off.
But I'm not just going to dart out and make
those amends. Remember the other cards that we got in
this spread. I'm going to actually step back and I'm
(54:37):
going to seek out some wise counsel talk through this
and have someone help me recognize my side of the
street in order to be able to fully and holly
in a place of neutrality, loving and acceptance, make those
amends where they're necessary. If they're necessary, and amends just
may be saying a prayer and forgiving somebody in your heart.
(55:00):
Or it may not be a conversation, it may be
something with your own being. So what I love about
this message for all of us is a praise yourself honesty.
Have you been selfish, greedy, or inconsiderate of others? Well, sure,
we're human. We get selfish and self centered. We do
that all the time. And I can think of recently
(55:22):
where I've been selfish or in my own self and
not helpful to other people or open to other people
because I've been hurt or my feelings are hurt. So
this is a wonderful reminder if I'm open and ready
to do the shadow work, it also means that I'm
going to have to take action and have some maybe
(55:43):
difficult conversations, but from a higher perspective and an openness
and willingness to look at my own side of the
street and take the action to clean that up and
to correct it by any means necessary. So I would
journal around this car, and then this for me would
be something where I would sit down with someone else
(56:04):
and ask for some insight or guidance into the healthiest
action for me to take. So that was a lot
of fun, and I hope you all enjoyed that, and
I hope you got some really great insight for yourself
in how to pull an oracle card spread and work
with it, especially during a full moon, because it is
so centered around letting go, closure, healing, illuminating stuff.
Speaker 2 (56:27):
You know.
Speaker 1 (56:28):
And I love how the last card basically said, you
know what's going to come out of this is you're
going to need to clean up your side of the
street too. You're gonna forgive, but you may need to
be forgiven or at least ask for that. So it
means I'm gonna have to roll up my sleeves over
the course of the next month. And it's funny because
I feel like that is coming, Like I can feel
that coming in my energy field, and I'm not afraid
(56:49):
of it. It's just like, no, I want to heal
and be better. So for the next full moon, whether
it's a regular full moon or an eclipse, definitely pull
your cards, write your intentions out, use these, be amazed,
and then when you finish, take that anchor card, that
very first card that you drew, and put it somewhere
(57:13):
significant so you see it. And for all of us,
the message here is slow and steady wins the race.
Speaker 2 (57:19):
Slow down, y'all, let's slow our role.
Speaker 1 (57:22):
And if I see this every day, I will practice
it better every day. So use the spread and be
able to reference it. And then I would keep your
journal next to your bed or whatever works for you,
and over the course of the next thirty days and
even through the upcoming new moon cycle, taking notes on
what's being revealed, what you're learning, how you're practicing, how
(57:44):
and look at your intentions and what is starting to
come to light. Where are you being tested, Where are
these things being revealed more deeply and truly.
Speaker 2 (57:52):
In your experience.
Speaker 1 (57:54):
Keep tracking and correlating the data because it will exercise
those psycho spiritual muscles, it will interconnect the head in
the heart, and it will also create a rapid acceleration
of your growth and your healing. In the show notes
the description, there are all the links to the blog
and new and full moon ceremonies. But I hope you

Hi, everyone, it's Amanda Riga Green. Welcome to Soul Sessions.
I'm so glad you're here today. We're going to do
something that is not only going to be simple and
accessible and a ton of fun, it is wildly profound
and useful. It will activate your higher consciousness, it will
(00:29):
help you better get in touch with yourself, your wisdom,
your intuition, and it's also going to create clarity. We're
going to talk about utilizing oracle cards or tarot cards
during the new and the full moon, and I'm going
to do this in a two part series. So for
(00:50):
this episode, we're going to focus on utilizing these divination
tools as a ritual and ceremony during the full moon,
and then part two will be about the new moon.
And one thing I want to say is you can
utilize this at any time, make it your own, but
(01:10):
you can also use it for eclipses. So this applies
not only to the a regular full moon. It's great
for a full moon eclipse. And if you're working with
eclipse energy, just remember that as you're doing your spread
of cards and your journaling and your ritual, that I'll
walk you through and give you some insights and guidelines
(01:31):
for You'll be thinking in terms of what is going
on now, but how will this impact me in the
course of the next six months. So eclipses trigger a
six month cycle. A regular new or full moon focuses
on a thirty day cycle, a lunation, a full thirty
day cycle where the moon travels all the way around
(01:55):
each of the astrological signs. Focusing on the full moon.
I want to start there because it will be very
helpful because full moons are about closure. They are a
time of completion. And what happens is there's an opposition
between the sun and the moon, and it creates enlightenment.
(02:17):
It sheds light on what has been lurking beneath the surface,
hiding in the shadows, not quite ready to be revealed yet,
or in your subconscious So it is a time of illumination.
Full moons, full moon eclipses are times of closure, letting go, surrender,
(02:37):
healing death and not always literal death. I mean more
so what is dying in you? So it's creating space
for something new to be born. It is a time
of really focusing on shadow work, the darker aspects within yourself,
your psyche, your surroundings, your circumstances that are needing to transmitte,
(02:59):
wanting to be revealed to you for you to heal.
So it's the time of closure versus like a new
moon new moon eclipse, that is a time of planting seeds, initiation,
move forward, new beginnings. So what I'm going to share
with you today about working with oracle cards and tarot
and divination tools, I have done this very ritualistically since
(03:22):
twenty thirteen, and prior to that, I'd always been aware
of a little bit of astrology, moon cycles, things like that,
but when it opened up and activated in me, I
literally I'm laughing about this because it's kind of wild
for me even to say this. I literally have been
(03:43):
doing new and full moon ceremonies and rituals for myself
since twenty thirteen. That's like two a month usually do
that math It's twenty twenty five right now, so it
kind of blows my mind. And of course they have
evolved and changed over the years. There are sometimes where
I'm somewhere where I don't fully go, you know, pull
cards and do the whole ceremony, but I do something,
(04:04):
and most of you have created ritual and consistency around
this and I've shared this often, but the lowest hanging
fruit in terms of spiritual tools, growth, healing, manifesting, all
of those things that we are incorporating and curious about
(04:25):
to me are new and full moons, because every two
weeks you get to work with the universal energies, your
personal energy, and it helps create a framework. One week,
you're working on new intentions, seeding new intentions around the
new moon. What am I doing over the course of
the next thirty days, what's happening? How can I work
with this energy, the astrological signs, and then the full
(04:48):
moon two weeks later says, hey, you know what has
been revealed since then? What am I closing? What am
I shutting? What's getting in my way? What is limiting me?
So it creates this beautiful cycle for the month, for
a calendar month, or for a thirty day cycle, which
is the true lunation depending on the new and full moon,
(05:09):
where you're working with the sun wherever the sun is
transitting for that thirty days and that astrological sign, and
then the moon's journey, and there's more depth we can
get into with this cross quarter Moon's a waning GiB us,
a waxing, give us. There's all sorts of things, but
for the new and the full moon, this is the
one oh one basics. And it's one of those things
(05:31):
for me that I hold sacred every two weeks and
utilize in some capacity. But I would say, gosh, for
five or six years, there was barely a newer full
moon I missed without doing an oracle card spread or
a tarot spread, and I found it to be so
profound and practical and illuminating, and it like I would
(05:54):
pull cards and I would almost go, oh, my gosh,
am I making this up? Did really come through? I
can't believe that this just came through, because this is
exactly what I'm frustrated with, or this is exactly what
I'm healing and working on right now, and that excitement
has never left.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
Every time I.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
Pull cards, I'm always amazed, and every is a big word,
right broad stroke. Pretty much all the time I pull
a card, I'm amazed. And if there's ever a card
I don't pull that I don't understand, usually more will
be revealed. I trust the process. I allow it to
reveal itself to me and do time, so I trust
what's coming through. And then there are other times when
(06:34):
I pull a card, whether it's new or full moon energy,
or I'm needing a card for the day where I
feel like I need more information, so I pull another
card to go with it, so it maybe gives me
more context or information now before I get started on
the full moon. One thing I want to share is
there's a blog that goes with us, so it will
help you break some things down. And I encourage you
(06:56):
to utilize the podcast and the blog, take your notes,
do your stuff, and set up your own practice. But
it will be very helpful. And also I have two
blogs that most of you are aware of or have referenced.
One is working with new Moon energy and the other
is working with full moon energy. And in those blogs,
I break down each of the zodiac signs, so I
(07:18):
go Aris through Pisces with just overarching traits or themes
for a new moon, working with an Ari's new moon,
a Pisce's new moon, a Libra new moon. Same thing
with the full moon blog Pisces full Moon, Libra full moon,
Scorpio full moon, and it has traits and attributes. And
both of those blogs have free ceremonies in them, so
(07:42):
you can download that. So I've created a lot of
resources around this already for you, and I hope they're helpful.
Take what you want, leave the rest. But this is
going to up level, enhance your game, and give you
some new insights to really create psycho spiritual awareness. Okay,
(08:03):
So with the full moon and working with oracle cards,
I've shared this before, I'm going to reiterate it is
for the full moon, you want to find the exact
time of the moon. I usually share this in my forecast.
You can just go on your search engine and say, oh,
there's an area's full moon on XYZ date, what time
(08:25):
is it and whatever time zone they put it in
you calculate your time zone. But what you want to do,
as a rule of thumb is you do your ritual
ceremony oracle tarot spread after the moon is exact, not before,
And this applies to new and full moons. But the
energy is building and the exact moment of the opposition
(08:48):
if we're talking about a full moon, does not happen
till a moment, and it's like everything needs to crescendo
and build, and then you settle into your ceremony or
you begin your ceremony and of course there are full
moons that happen at two in the morning and six
in the morning and two in the afternoon on a
Tuesday when you're at work. Don't stress about this. It
(09:10):
doesn't have to be perfect. Do it when you get
home if it's at two in the afternoon on a Tuesday,
or once you put your kids to bed that night,
do your ritual or ceremony or first thing in the morning.
You do you and work with the calendar loosely, yet
(09:30):
utilize the rule of thumb after it is exact, and
you don't want to do it three days after it
is exact. And there are ways to get more specific
in this, because the moon could go into something we
call a void, of course, which means it is about
to change signs from one zodiac sign to another, and
it is out in a void where it isn't in
(09:50):
no contact with other planets. I don't want you to
stress about this. There are just way more ways you
can drill down to when you should do your intention.
But you know what, so what, it's not about it
being perfect. It's about the energy and the action you're
taking around it. But I just wanted to give you
a little bit of context because there can be more layers,
(10:13):
there are more schools of thought and rules of thumb.
But for our purposes today, allow the full moon to
be exact, and then you within the next twenty four
hours as best you can do your ritual. First of all,
you want to create some sacred space. So whether it's
your spouse or your kids or your roommates, you want
(10:36):
to create quiet time, alone time and listen. There have
been times where I have sat in a closet and
done my oracle card spreads because I've been out of
town or you know, I'm with friends and I'm saying, okay,
I need an hour to go sit and do my thing,
or I do it first thing in the morning. I
find intimate alone time to do this. And yes, I've
(10:57):
done plenty of ceremonies in groups and on retreats and
with people. That's amazing too. You can do this, but
this is about your regular practice, your personal practice. So
carve out an hour, carve out that time as your
sacred time. And I can't tell you how many times
I've sat down at six pm to do this, and
(11:19):
next thing I know it's eight thirty or nine, because
I get so into it and I I just am
in the energy and it's helpful in that sense. Oftentimes,
especially when I was doing this.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
I would do this outside.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
We had a beautiful fire pit and backyard on a
couple of acres of land, and I would go out
to the fire pit. I would create a big crystal
grid and I'd have all my tools and resources in
my sage and I would do it outside and I'd
leave the grid out two or three nights.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
You can do all of this stuff.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
I would leave my cards out sometimes under the moonlight.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
So you can do that.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
Get creative, put them in your window seal. I want
you to make this your own and know that that
is your intuition, you follow it. There's no perfect formulary.
So with pulling oracle cards for a full moon, the
intention and the energy is really to look at what
(12:19):
is needing to be healed, let go of shed, released, grieved,
surrendered to What is limiting or holding you back from
your evolution, from your growth? What is creating tension, what
is creating a lot of polarity that is the basis
(12:42):
of the full moon. What is the shadow that is
occurring within and around you, that is asking to be
alchemized or transmuted. So that's the intention around a full
moon that you bring to your deck of cards, and
I shared with everybody. You can either use an oracle
(13:03):
deck or a tarot deck. If you're comfortable with the
tarot and familiar with it, use your tarot cards. If
oracle cards are your language, use those. And if you
don't know the difference between the two, I'll tell you
that right now. Tarot cards are a set deck of cards.
There's twenty two cards in the major arcana and then
(13:23):
you have the remaining cards. So you have this big
deck of cards that basically walks through all sorts of
archetypes and has different suits so to speak, that have
different messages and meanings. The tarot is defined, and you
may have different tarot decks and interpretations, but there are
the same cards essentially and archetypes and lessons and meanings
(13:47):
ascribed to those cards. An oracle deck is more loose,
it's more artistic, and there's a gajillion different flavors of
oracle decks. So if you're into animal cards and animal medicine,
that you get an animal oracle deck. If you're into angels,
(14:08):
there's tons of angel decks. There are so many decks
out there, and most of you, I hope have a
deck or two. When I first started out, the very
first deck I was drawn to was by Colette Baron Reed.
She has a blethera of decks, and she really focuses
on her oracle cards and oracle decks. I do believe
(14:29):
she has a tarot deck or two, but her oracle
decks are excellent. Who I gravitate towards now around my
oracle decks is a Lena Fairchild. And the first deck
I got of hers was called the Sacred Rebels, and
that was probably back in twenty seventeen, twenty eighteen. I
was in Sedona and I encountered this deck and it
(14:51):
just spoke to my soul and blew my mind. And
since then I am very familiar with her decks. She's incredible.
She speaks to me me in a language that very
much resonates with something sacred, divine and higher. So I
gravitate towards her decks these days when it comes to
oracle decks and the usage of that. Also when I
(15:14):
do a spread, sometimes I'll use two or three decks
in my spread for a new or full moon because
I want to. I'm like, Okay, I'm gonna pull this
fairy deck and this tarot deck and this you know,
shamanic wisdom deck, and I'll do different flavors, but oftentimes
I use one deck. You do you whatever you're called to,
(15:36):
have fun with it, and the cards they'll work together.
They totally will work together, and it's kind of mind
blowing at times. Okay, So get your deck, get your
sacred space, get your crystals out, don't get your crystals out,
(15:58):
get your sage, do what.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
You want to do.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
Get your journal. Absolutely, the journal here is my like,
that's my favorite part of it, is the journal and
the things that I get to write on and what
comes through me during this really sacred time. So get
your journal, create your sacred space. The first thing that
is important to do once you're in your sacred space
(16:22):
is to clear your deck, to bless your deck. And
there's no magic formularity to this. For me, A lot
of times I'll take some sage or Palo Santo and
I will literally like hold my cards out and cleanse
and clear the deck. And as I do that, I say,
I'm cleansing and clearing the energy around this deck. For
the highest divine wisdom to be revealed to and through me.
(16:47):
Thank you, I bless this deck. So the information being
transmitted is coming from the highest light, love and vibration
for my highest path forward and for the greatest good.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
So bless your deck. Thank it.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
Cleanse the energy and you don't have to have Palo
Santo or sage to do that. You just your thought,
your mind and your intention. Does it clear the deck?
You know?
Speaker 2 (17:13):
Like that is good enough?
Speaker 1 (17:14):
So do that first, and sit for a few minutes
in the full moon energy and recognize, pray, set some
intentions for yourself before you even begin to divine, before
you begin to draw cards, hold the deck close to
your heart and just breathe. Turn on some meditation music
(17:37):
if you like. If you are sitting out under the
full moonlight, let the moonlight hit your face and your spirit,
and say, you know, may these cards reveal to me,
you know what I have been unable to see. Help
These words and these messages come from the highest point
of light that is clearing and cleaned my spirit and
(18:01):
showing me the path forward. Give me the courage to
hear the messages and to healthfully integrate them. Over the
course of the next thirty days, and if it's in
an eclipse, over the course.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
Of the next six months.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
So that way you're just conditioning yourself and setting yourself
up for success. And as you say those things and
think those things, believe them. Part of the magic is
in the utter surrender to the mystery and the divine.
I mean, I just like I said, every time I
read cards for someone or myself, I don't really read
(18:36):
cards for people that often like it's not my thing.
I will do it for fine, or I'll do it,
you know, if we're in a group setting and things
like that. But I read cards for myself. It's a
very intimate and private thing. And when you're working in
sacred space and ceremony, this isn't something that I take
a bunch of pictures of and share on social media.
(18:56):
To me, sacred space is sacred space and time and
my communion with a divine I might every now and
then take a picture of my sacred space and share it,
but rarely do I do that because I don't need
to document it through a camera or a lens. I'm
documenting it in my spirit. So just think about it
(19:17):
as basically your very intimate time with your higher self
and the universe where you're alchemizing. You're becoming the alchemist
of your own soul, and it's creating a ripple out
into the cosmos.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
So after you've gotten.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
Still and quiet and held the deck close and conditioned
it and conditioned the full moon energy, then you're gonna pull.
I'm going to suggest a four card spread. There are
lots of card spread, three cards spread, seven cards spread,
twelve cards spread, and believe me, I've done them all.
There are times when I have done like a twelve
(19:51):
card spread. Now you wonder why it takes me two
hours to do this, but oftentimes it's a three or
a four card spread for me. And in the block,
I base it on a four card spread. Of course,
you can add your own magic, change it up, but
this is just a great framework to use. I do
a four card spread. And today what I'm gonna do
(20:13):
is I'm gonna walk you through this and I'm gonna
pull cards for us and the intention with these cards.
And if you're listening on any of the podcast platforms, awesome.
But if you're watching on YouTube, you got it right here.
I'm shuffling cards and shuffling my deck I've already cleared
this deck, by the way, I cleared it before I
started recording the podcast. But I'm gonna go ahead and
(20:33):
say made the messages and information that come through in
these cards bring the highest path forward for all of
us listening, all of us listening at any given time,
breaking the barriers of time and space, connecting us all
through the multiverse in the highest realms, in the highest light,
for the highest path love and healing forward. Thank you,
(20:54):
Thank you cards. And these cards I'm gonna pull. I'll
tell you what deck I'm using. I'm using my og deck,
which is the first oracle deck I ever got. I
got it in twenty thirteen, and it's collect Baron Reads
Enchanted Map, and this deck was it speaks to my soul.
It's an easy one for me to use, and it's
tried or true. So that's the deck I'm using, the
(21:15):
Enchanted Map by collect Bearon Read. All right, you can
check the blog out for the questions. So I'm going
to pull a card for everyone, and then I'm going
to interpret it for us all and then I'm going
to show you how it interpret it for myself and
what I do with my journaling. So I'm going to
make this very practical but also universal. All Right, the
first card I'm asking and a card just flew out,
(21:36):
and I haven't even asked the question yet, which that
happens all the time. So the card that's emerging has
just emerged. And the question I was going to ask
is what hidden truths do I need to be aware
of now? What needs to be revealed to me now
that I have not been ready to or able to
(21:57):
see up until now.
Speaker 2 (21:59):
So that's the question.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
What do we what hidden truths do we need that
we have not been ready to see or perceive or
understand up until now. All right, this is.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
Kind of cool.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
The card that flew out is called Slow and Steady,
and it is a stunning card. If you're watching on YouTube,
I'm putting it up to the screen, but if you're listening,
it is this woman like a fairy coming out of
a snail shell. And the snail is definitely like the
Fibonacci sequence. The woman is basically a fairy with beautiful
(22:35):
translucent wings and her hand is on her heart. Now
I'm describing this to you all because this is the
first thing you want to do, is before you even
read the message. Look at the imagery of the card.
What do you see from this? The first thing I
see for all of us is when we're in our
(22:56):
hearts center, we will have everything illuminated to us when
we are in our heart. And that Fibonacci sequence in
the snail, of course, a snail denotes slow and steady
wins the race. Slow down, y'all, slow down, Amanda. But
also that Fibonacci sequence that spiral. The divine codes here,
(23:20):
the divine geometry in this the sacred geometry of infinity
because the Fibonacci sequence goes on forever. So there's an
infinite quality to this card. There's an otherworldly translucent quality.
There's a fairy, so it's talking about other realms, things
that we cannot see using our fancy and our imagination.
(23:43):
The woman's hand is on her heart. She is literally
connecting with her heart chakra and fifth dimensional consciousness to
speak in some language that we've been using. And the
message is slow and steady. So you can see how
much I just interpreted from the card without getting to
(24:05):
my own stuff or your stuff yet, right, But the
message for all of us, which I think we can
all relate to right now, is to slow down, to
get still, to go within, find the divine within. Slow
and steady wins the race. Now I'm going to throw
(24:27):
you all for a loop here. When this card fell
out of my deck, it did not fall out upright.
It fell out reversed. So let's just monkey wrench it
up right. So here's the deal. Whenever you pull a
card and you pull it in the reverse, don't go
I got the reverse Like I do that sometime I'm like, ah,
(24:49):
all that means, and this is the way I interpret it.
All that means is I need to learn this lesson
because I'm being stubborn, Amanda. Get the heck out of
your own way, y'all, get out of your own way
and slow down. And hello, we all know how busy
we are. We are running marathons in life and work
(25:10):
and family and responsibility and adulting, and we live in
a microwave culture. One of the things that we have
talked about, and I'm specifically thinking about my conversation about
the astrology of twenty twenty five with Hannahs elsewhere where.
We talked about the north note of the moon moving
into Pisces, and a big part of that is slowing down,
(25:32):
going within, and guess what the opposite. The South note
in Virgo says, I want to get things done. I
want to get them down now, I want to do
them in a quality, orient and manner. Well, while that
practical action is important, the answer lies in getting still
and going within. So anytime you get the reverse, don't
try to flip it and want the other like. Take
(25:54):
what you get and trust that. Don't be upset with it.
Just go with it and say, Okay, I hear this
message loud and clear. Slowing down right now is the
hidden truth that is actually the key to my success
that maybe I wasn't able to really hear last week
(26:15):
because it was just too hard or there was too
much going on. But today this is the information being
revealed to me that I am ready to hear that
is going to be relevant to my journey forward, my
quantum leap. Now, after you've gotten your card and your message,
you can go to the guidebook, and whether you've got
(26:37):
a Tiaro deck or an Oracle deck, you go to
the meaning of the card. And this is the twelfth card.
And of course it's a twelve. And it's kind of
funny because if you're listening to this in real time.
I'm recording it in March of twenty twenty five, and
it's a twelvemonth, don't you love Like there's number codes,
and I always look at the numbers. Whether the numerology
is correlated with the messages of collet bear and reads
(27:01):
cards are correlated numerologically with the messages, but I always
look at the number. What's the number code? So you
can go a step deeper and look at the number.
It's the number twelve, the number of creation. Creativity comes
from the divine. When I get slow and steady, there's
another way to start drawing messages and interpretations from this. Okay,
(27:21):
I'm going to go to the guidebook and I'm going
to read read us what it says in the guidebook reversed. Okay,
slow and steady means slow and steady wins the race. Okay,
we've already talked about that. Here is the reversed message.
Pushing things forward impulsively will not only prevent success, but
(27:42):
potentially cause more trouble than you're prepared to handle. Moving
too quickly will only yield unripe fruit.
Speaker 2 (27:51):
Y'all.
Speaker 1 (27:52):
I've been talking about low hanging fruit and the fact
that this is the card I pulled, and it's saying
unripe fruit and that analogy again. See I told you
my mind is always blown by this. I'm like, is
this It's amazing Like spirit is always there? Right, Okay,
moving too quickly will only yield unripe fruit with a
bitter taste. Slow down, breathe, meditate. You are not a
(28:17):
human doing you are a human being.
Speaker 2 (28:21):
Just be.
Speaker 1 (28:22):
Everything will work out if you can apply the brakes
and become more aware of what's happening in this moment.
A calm focus on the now, breathing in the beauty
of your surroundings will restore your power to consciously co
create your world. All fruits ripen in their own time. Okay,
(28:44):
I'm just having a mind blown moment just because I've
been talking about low hanging fruits. So I love how
in your face this card is for me and also
for all of us in recognizing impulsivity, because the energy
now in general has a lot of knee jerk impulsivity.
(29:05):
If we look at the astrology and the numerology, and
one of the messages this month is about slowing down,
So for all of us remembering to breathe, get still, meditate,
go within, put your hand on your heart, recognize that
everything is being orchestrated in divine timing. So where I
would go After I pull my card and I have
(29:26):
my moment and my amazement with it, I will start
journaling because I will say, Okay, what is coming through
for me? Where am I rushing things? This is being
revealed to me now? And what am I rushing? How
am I rushing things? Why am I afraid of slowing down?
What is the fear behind that? And I'll get into
(29:47):
the guidebook and I'll underline things and write out words
that stand out to me or phrases, and then I
will journal on them based on my personal experience and
what is coming through. So essentially, while you're doing this,
you're interconnecting your head in your heart. You're using your
cognisance and your cognition around the card and the messages,
(30:09):
and then you are psycho spiritually starting to integrate pull
into your heart and you're channeling. Many of you know
what it feels like to just start journaling and just
stuff flies out of your pen and onto the page.
Speaker 2 (30:24):
Enjoy it.
Speaker 1 (30:24):
You journal for each card as long as you want
to or need to you just go with the flow,
but also write down whatever is being revealed. If it's
bringing you into the past of where you've rushed things
in the past and then fruit has not been ripened,
it's been bitter. Listen to those analogies. See what is
coming to your cognizance and your consciousness in that moment
(30:48):
that relates to your current experience. And if I take
this card and I get honest and vulnerable for all
of you for a minute, and I interpret this for myself,
the first thing that comes to mind is, as of late,
I'm just laughing because of the truth of it and
(31:10):
the true nature. As of late, I've been feeling all
of this kind of energy within, like I need to
say this, I need to get this done. People are
misunderstanding me, or I'm feeling misunderstood. I need to just
set the record strate, I need to set the record
s rate. And that need is kind of a like
an impulsive word.
Speaker 2 (31:28):
I need.
Speaker 1 (31:29):
I got to. I have to that kind of energy.
And it's funny because today I was thinking I don't
need to do anything.
Speaker 2 (31:37):
I need to just.
Speaker 1 (31:38):
Be be who I am. Be Still more will be revealed,
surrender to the mystery, Amanda. That's what I've been saying lately,
surrender to the mystery. So this card for me shows
me exactly what feels unnatural to me to just be.
Be still, don't need to say do inter in any way,
(32:02):
just be, allow the universe to respond to my needs
so my action can be aligned and in the highest good.
So this card totally applies to me, and I'm sure
it resonates with many of you out there, and I'm
curious to hear what's coming up for you and maybe
where this hits home. So definitely drop me a line
(32:23):
podcast at Soulsessions dot me and maybe we'll have some
time to share some of the feedback on one of
the future podcasts. All right, so that's the first card,
and I put the first card in my spread. Last
thing I want to say about the first card.
Speaker 2 (32:36):
Let's call it.
Speaker 1 (32:37):
Our anchor card, meaning it's the main archetype of my
whole reading. It is really the central core to the
whole reading. It's to me, the foundational card and what
will take me through the next thirty days. So what
I recommend after your reading, when you close your sacred space,
(32:58):
I would put that card on your desk, like right,
here I'd put it. I will put this card right
in front of me after I wrap this up, or
maybe on my mirror in my bathroom or next to
my bed, or on my little altar wherever you will
see it, and you'll get that reminder. Oh, slow down, breathe.
The fruit is not ripe yet. There's more to be revealed.
(33:23):
I surrender to the mystery of the universe. So this
is your anchor card. All right, let's do the second card.
Let's see what comes through. So I'm gonna go ahead.
And there's a card that came out and I haven't
even asked the question again, It's just how it works.
I'm not even gonna look at it yet. But it
flew out. The question I was going to ask, is
what attachments unhealthy habits, behaviors or patterns am I clinging
(33:48):
onto that It is time for me to let go
of set a new boundary around what unhealthy habits, patterns, behaviors, environments,
relationship am I ready to to reveal? Like? What is
it that I need to know that is actually limiting
my abundance? What needs to shit in order for me
(34:09):
to shift? Okay, I pulled this one in reverse too,
so I guess we're just needing some hardcore lessons today.
And the first thing I noticed on this card it's
the Field of Dreams and it's got fairies in it. Again,
this whole deck doesn't just have fairies in it, so
there's not a lot of cards with fairy energy, so
there's a correlation. There's also a full moon in this card,
(34:34):
like there is a full moon, and we're doing this
for a full moon spread. And the number on the
card is twenty one if you remember the last card
was twelve. This stuff lights up my soul. I'm like,
I don't need any more information than that. I'm already
on board. I'm like, yes, I got it all right.
This is the Field of Dreams, and there's all these
beautiful fairies and they're coming out of these eggs and
they're playing music, and there's butterflies, and there's this gorgeous
(34:58):
rolling field and cloud. It's in kind of sparkly fairy
dusk coming out of the sky, out of the new moon.
The Field of Dreams. Of course, I know this card
and I know the meaning behind it. But what I
would see in this is get into my dream state,
Get into my dream state and it goes so beautifully.
(35:19):
With the slow and steady wins the race card. They
start to tell a story, right, the cards tell a story,
So we have slow down, meditate, breathe more will be revealed.
And then my question was what and healthy habits patterned
am I needing to get rid of in.
Speaker 2 (35:35):
Order to heal?
Speaker 1 (35:38):
And this is the field of Dreams card, so it's
asking me to go into my dream state. And the
first thing that comes to mind for all of us
and for myself is get out of your rational mind.
Quit rationalizing, Amanda, because the Field of Dreams card is
anything but rational. It's creative, it's imaginary, it's the stro plane.
(36:01):
So drawing this card upside down but in general, says
to me, what am I needing to let go of
my rationalization and my thinking mind? Get out of my
head and into my heart. I'm going to read the
interpretation of a card for everybody because it'll give us
more juice, more energy, more to think about. All right,
(36:21):
the field of dreams, your thoughts, feelings, and beliefs are
always engaging with the vast field of pure potential. So this, again,
like the first card, is talking about becoming a conscious
co creator meaning, our thoughts, our rational thoughts. Everything we
are thinking is engaging with the field.
Speaker 2 (36:41):
At all times.
Speaker 1 (36:43):
So here's the message in the reversed. Are your dreams
your own? Are they really someone else's? Have you chased money,
possessions or prestige? Have you placed security above fulfillment? Has
approval seeking played a major in your motivations to succeed?
And I'm like raising my hand for that, because this
(37:04):
is some old stuff for me, and I've actually been
meditating a lot on this lately, and I'll share the
remainder of that in a minute with you. This is
the time for you to access the validity of your dreams,
your talents, your willingness to be a channel for inspiration
and creativity. Don't be afraid to enter the field of dreams,
(37:25):
for you can always clear new ground for new and
better things to grow. Nature has a way of self
correcting if you're willing to act with authenticity. The power
to create is inside you.
Speaker 2 (37:39):
So first of.
Speaker 1 (37:41):
All, I think you all can hear both cards are
basically saying, slow down, go within, go within yourself, Go
within your dreams, go within your heart. Get imaginative and creative.
As I interpret this card, and listening to that message.
It's so oh amazing because I've been doing personally a
(38:04):
lot of work around carrying the limiting beliefs of my parents.
We all absorb the limiting beliefs and unlimiting beliefs of
our environments, right, and I for the past two weeks
I have been really focusing on what traits, behaviors, beliefs,
and limitations that I absorbed from my parents that may
(38:26):
or may not have been mine. So it's funny that
this message is what is your motivation? Here? Is your
motivation coming from something external, someone, someplace, or something. And
for not all of my life, but for a big portion,
I was doing things out of expectations of other people
or other people's stories, And of course that has transformed
(38:49):
for me vastly over the years. But lately this exact
message on here has been something I'm saying, I am
completely ready to go of any limitations, beliefs, or behaviors
that are not coming from my soul and with around
my fears. So for me personally, this actually resonates in
(39:14):
all the words and language in this card and the
reversed position of it. Are your dreams your own? Are
they someone else's. My dreams today are my own. But
for a long time, my dreams were absolutely expectations that
I had interpreted from my parents, and that kicked into
high gear. So it took a long time to discover
(39:36):
and uncover my own dreams. But I've really been resonating
around this. Have you chased money, possessions or presties. Absolutely,
I used to do this. My family taught me if
I have a credential or out external success or a
great job, then I am valuable and there's no shade
on my family. That is just part of our story
is that the worst doesn't come from within, it comes
(39:57):
from credentials and achievements. So yes, this has been me
in the past, but this has been stuff I've been
reflecting on and how much I've grown and changed, and
how my values and behaviors and friendships and relationships have
evolved as a result. So this card for all of
us is a wonderful reminder to get clear around our
(40:20):
own fulfillment, our own dreams, pay attention to our dreams,
and full moons, because this is a full moon spread.
Full moons are a time to pay attention to your dreams.
So I would journal on this card, of course, and
I would relate it back to all the things that
are resonating for me personally now. And because the question
was what attachment limiting beliefs are holding me back that
(40:44):
I am really ready to let go of. This solidifies
everything I have been praying about recently. May I unconsciously
move from a higher plane, devoid of limiting beliefs of
my past, my environment, my circumstances, and come from the now.
So I would journal on that and write out some examples,
(41:06):
and then I would start writing intentions from this. Definitely,
this to me has a lot of intentions. So for example,
and I'm just going to use the guidebook as an example,
it says are your dreams your own? Or are they
really someone else's? I would write, my dreams are my own.
My dreams are coming from my higher self now, and
this day forward, I am becoming more fulfilled in my
(41:27):
divine alignment each and every day. Thank you. Like that
just is flowing out of me. But I would probably
journal something like that today I am experiencing fulfillment. When
I am fulfilled, I feel safe because it says, are
you placing security above fulfillment? So I just flipped the
script and saying, today I am experiencing fulfillment. And when
I am fully fulfilled, I am whole enough and safe.
(41:48):
Just as I am, I am a channel of divine
inspiration and creativity. I am clearing new ground for better things.
Nature is helping me auto correct over the course of
the next days. And I am behaving authentically. I am
acting authentically. I am authentic in all that I do
with myself, with others, and with my higher power.
Speaker 2 (42:09):
So you see, I mean, I.
Speaker 1 (42:10):
Just am playing on the words in here to create
intentions for the full moon cycle.
Speaker 2 (42:17):
All right, let's do the next card.
Speaker 1 (42:25):
All right, let's do the next card. I hope you're
having fun with this since it's just giving you more
insight and guidance into not only like how amazing these
cards are, but also how you can be creative and
play with this stuff. Okay, another card flew out and
I haven't asked a question. I mean, we're seeing a
pattern here. The next question I was going to ask
(42:45):
is what wisdom or hidden talent do I need to
be aware of right now to help me in my
healing path forward over the next few weeks. What is
my hidden talent? What's my superpower, what's my you know,
super resource, my divine resource that I am needing for
the path forward? Okay, I did not pull this card
in rivers, so it's upright. It's the movement card. And
(43:09):
this card cracks me up. And I've pulled this card
many a time. It is an ostriche, and the ostrich
has this beautiful like little landscape on its back with
a windmill, and there is a hot air balloon off
in the distance. But the ostriche is moving out of
this muddy muck onto green grass. And as you all know,
(43:34):
ostriches are the fastest running birds there are. I don't
know about road runners, but I'm pretty sure Ostricheah. I
can't remember how many miles an hour ostriches run. You know,
when they run, they run really really fast. But the
ostrich is like taking a step at a time. So
the movement card, it's funny because we got slow and
steady wins the race the dream card, and now we've
got movement, so not stuck anywhere. But I want to
(43:58):
share this with you all because I've I know this
deck so darn well. The card that comes before this
card is the stuck in the mud card, and it's
an elegant stuck in the mud. And so the card
after that is the movement card. So I automatically know
I'm like over the next two weeks, I don't want
to feel stuck. I want to take action. I want
to move. But this is about deliberate movement. And the
(44:21):
number on the card is twenty eight. Two plus eight
equals ten. That's a one, and so of course one,
I need to take action. It's the energy of the
one is about initiation action. I need to make changes.
I need to take have some movement to apply these
changes in my life. And I ask, what you know
(44:42):
my tool was my superpower over the course of the
next few weeks, is is to me take deliberate, intentional movement,
quality oriented steps each and every day. What action am
I taking today? How am I demonstrating that I am healing,
changing growth, getting out of my head into my heart,
those kinds of things. So let's read. Let's read the
(45:05):
message on the card. You are in a time of
positive forward motion. This is the time for positive momentum
as you come out of a period of restriction. You
are in a stage of new adventure and discovery. You
may feel compelled to take a trip, change your hair,
or move home or business. Regardless, you can't remain where
(45:29):
you are anymore. You feel compelled to go forward. No
matter what your inquiry, you will see your dreams. There
we go again take form, and doors previously shut begin
to open, as if by magic. I'm going to read
the rest of the card, But what I will tell
you about this is I ask what the superpower was,
(45:51):
What what's going to be my best course of action,
superpower tool to use? And it's saying, you know, movement,
take action. But what I love about this as it
says doors previously shut will now be open. So you
know what that tells me, don't be discouraged, Try try,
try again. If there was a door that I approached
a few months ago and I got rejected or it
(46:13):
didn't open, maybe it's time to come at it at
a fresh approach, with a new consciousness, a new awareness.
So it's saying, hey, don't be stubborn, Like, if that
door is there and it's still in your heart, try
to open.
Speaker 2 (46:24):
It this time.
Speaker 1 (46:25):
You might be surprised because it may open as if
by magic. Movement is also a state of mind. The
fog lifts and you now know the actions you need
to take. This isn't the time for fear. Let go
and move forward. There's so much that we can journal
on and receive from this. It's about taking action and
(46:48):
remembering that sometimes we take one step forward and two
steps back. But it's about taking action, but taking action
with love and removing the fear. It's a time of
adventure discovery. So I would of course journal on this
because it totally relates to where I am now and
(47:09):
things that are going on in my life. I'm like, Okay,
of course, it is time to take slow, steady, deliberate action.
But it's a time of forward motion and I'm truly
feeling that right now in my life and it feels
like I'm just I've removed the force and I'm in
the flow and it's magical. So that's what this movement
(47:29):
is about, is being in the flow the force field,
not applying self will and force, and absolutely recognizing when
my actions come from a place of fear or doubt
versus love and adventure. So again you can take some
of the messages from here. I am available for positive momentum,
I embrace the new adventure and changes coming up in
(47:52):
my life. Dreams that previously did not come to fruition,
they are available to me now, and I am going
to be awestruck at the Universe's gifts to me.
Speaker 2 (48:05):
Movement is a state of mind.
Speaker 1 (48:07):
My mind is flexible, my eyes are open, my perspective is.
Speaker 2 (48:14):
Wide.
Speaker 1 (48:15):
I don't know. Just write your you know, like I'm
just giving you some juice, but you relate it to yourself,
and then write those intentions. And before I pull this
last card and we we wrap this up and see
what the closing message is going to be. If you've noticed,
none of the questions that I've asked have been like,
(48:36):
you know, am I going.
Speaker 2 (48:37):
To move next month?
Speaker 1 (48:39):
Am I going to be able to be happy in XYZ?
Speaker 2 (48:42):
Am I getting a new job?
Speaker 1 (48:45):
When I work with Oracle Cards, it is rare that
I ask a specific question about a relationship or a
work thing. I will be thinking it, like before I start,
I will say, Okay, this relationship is weighing on me,
or I'm really concerned about my direction with work today
and I don't know the answers, so I throw that
(49:07):
up there. The universe knows what I'm struggling with. I
don't have to spell that out specifically. I keep this
open ended because I can relate all these things to
the minutia that I have questions around. So keep these
questions open ended, and know that the universe is responding
with the messages you need for specific circumstances. And loosen
(49:31):
your grip on the details. And again remember North note
in Pisces, loosen the grip on the details, surrender to
the mystery, and that is the energy we'rein. Okay, the
last card that I'm going to pull. The question is
how will this lunar phase enable me to grow? What
is in my future? What is the future.
Speaker 2 (49:52):
Ahead of me?
Speaker 1 (49:53):
What is the highest outcome? What is the highest path
forward through all of this? All right is being revealed?
What is my highest outcome? What is the highest path
forward through this lunar face? I love this and I
pulled it in reverse, So, okay, what is the highest outcome? Oh,
(50:15):
you're gonna get out of your own stubborn way, Amanda,
and y'all. It's the heal the ouch card. It's the
sweetest little card. There's a raccoon and a fox, and
the fox has like an ice pack on its head,
and the raccoon is like the doctor or the nurse,
and he's tending to the fox. And so heal the
ouch is is the card and the number is thirty eight,
(50:38):
which is the number eleven three plus eight equals eleven
master number eleven. So interconnection of the head and the heart,
interconnection of the human and the superhuman. But heal the
ouch I said, what is the outcome of all of
this is that my suffering will be alleviated. And in
reverse to me, what that says for you, for me,
(51:00):
for all of us is the fear and the doubt
and the pain and the stuff that we are hanging
onto that I'm hanging onto that I'm like, Yeah, but
who am I gonna be if I don't have this
drive or this motivation or this success or this relationship?
Like or are people gonna be mad at me?
Speaker 2 (51:16):
You know?
Speaker 1 (51:16):
All that stuff that we cling onto. It's saying the
other side of all this, y'all, And Amanda, is you're
gonna really heal it. The more painful it is, the
bigger the healing. That's a really sweet cart. I'm gonna
read you again the message, the message in reverse heal
the ouch Ah forgiveness is the healer of the soul, y'all,
(51:43):
this is so funny. I forgot that that was the
main message on this card. I've been like practicing a
lot of forgiveness lately of myself and other people and
attitudes and behaviors and thinking about my parents. I mean,
just on so many levels, forgivenesses. You know, forgiveness justis
me down, like you know, if I'm not forgiving someone
or something. And so I've been just saying thank you
(52:05):
that I'm so forgiving, that I'm letting go, that I'm
practicing acceptance whatever it may be around. So for that
to be the main message here is this is my reward,
this is my outcome, is that I'm gonna be able
to forgive and it's gonna set me free.
Speaker 2 (52:20):
And it's reminding me that I need to keep.
Speaker 1 (52:22):
Flexing my forgiveness muscles, become open and willing to practice
forgiveness actively. And you know what else, it tells me that,
remember how I pulled it in reverse. Over the course
of the next thirty days, I may encounter a lot
of things that I'm gonna be tested and gonna have
to practice a little forgiveness around. The cards are cheeky, right,
like That's the other thing I read into the card
(52:43):
is you know what, Amanda, if you want to really
forgive and really be set free, then all right, over
the next thirty days, we'll give you some things to forgive.
We'll see if you really mean it, girlfriend, Like, that's
what it says to me. All right, here's the message reversed.
This card is a message urging you to make amends
for any harm you've done to another appraisal for yourself. Honestly,
(53:06):
have you been selfish, greedy, inconsiderate of others? Have you
harbored resentments to those who have harmed you in the past.
Practice deep and radical forgiveness. In order to be free
to no healing. You must surrender to old hurts and
begin anew Forgiving yourself and loving yourself is important too.
Be humble and willing to admit your weaknesses, know the
(53:28):
imperfections of the human personality. Walk tall as you take
the path of the shaman, the wise elder who is
willing to go into the shadows to bring healing light
to old wounds. One of the things about this deck
and this card is Collett Baron Reid has been in
sobriety a long time, and this is the first deck
(53:50):
I bought, and I was new in sobriety, and you
can tell that this basically comes very very much out
of the Book of Alcoholics Anonymous. It's got a lot
of jargon around the ninth step of AA, and so
I resonate with it. I have someone who walks me
through these things and practicing amends. So what comes out
(54:13):
of this card for me and for all of us
is up. I probably need to really look at my
side of the street and recognize where I need to
make amends. So not just practicing forgiveness. Are there areas
in my life where I need to make amends And
I can think of a couple right now, right off.
But I'm not just going to dart out and make
those amends. Remember the other cards that we got in
this spread. I'm going to actually step back and I'm
(54:37):
going to seek out some wise counsel talk through this
and have someone help me recognize my side of the
street in order to be able to fully and holly
in a place of neutrality, loving and acceptance, make those
amends where they're necessary. If they're necessary, and amends just
may be saying a prayer and forgiving somebody in your heart.
(55:00):
Or it may not be a conversation, it may be
something with your own being. So what I love about
this message for all of us is a praise yourself honesty.
Have you been selfish, greedy, or inconsiderate of others? Well, sure,
we're human. We get selfish and self centered. We do
that all the time. And I can think of recently
(55:22):
where I've been selfish or in my own self and
not helpful to other people or open to other people
because I've been hurt or my feelings are hurt. So
this is a wonderful reminder if I'm open and ready
to do the shadow work, it also means that I'm
going to have to take action and have some maybe
(55:43):
difficult conversations, but from a higher perspective and an openness
and willingness to look at my own side of the
street and take the action to clean that up and
to correct it by any means necessary. So I would
journal around this car, and then this for me would
be something where I would sit down with someone else
(56:04):
and ask for some insight or guidance into the healthiest
action for me to take. So that was a lot
of fun, and I hope you all enjoyed that, and
I hope you got some really great insight for yourself
in how to pull an oracle card spread and work
with it, especially during a full moon, because it is
so centered around letting go, closure, healing, illuminating stuff.
Speaker 2 (56:27):
You know.
Speaker 1 (56:28):
And I love how the last card basically said, you
know what's going to come out of this is you're
going to need to clean up your side of the
street too. You're gonna forgive, but you may need to
be forgiven or at least ask for that. So it
means I'm gonna have to roll up my sleeves over
the course of the next month. And it's funny because
I feel like that is coming, Like I can feel
that coming in my energy field, and I'm not afraid
(56:49):
of it. It's just like, no, I want to heal
and be better. So for the next full moon, whether
it's a regular full moon or an eclipse, definitely pull
your cards, write your intentions out, use these, be amazed,
and then when you finish, take that anchor card, that
very first card that you drew, and put it somewhere
(57:13):
significant so you see it. And for all of us,
the message here is slow and steady wins the race.
Speaker 2 (57:19):
Slow down, y'all, let's slow our role.
Speaker 1 (57:22):
And if I see this every day, I will practice
it better every day. So use the spread and be
able to reference it. And then I would keep your
journal next to your bed or whatever works for you,
and over the course of the next thirty days and
even through the upcoming new moon cycle, taking notes on
what's being revealed, what you're learning, how you're practicing, how
(57:44):
and look at your intentions and what is starting to
come to light. Where are you being tested, Where are
these things being revealed more deeply and truly.

In your experience.
Speaker 1 (57:54):
Keep tracking and correlating the data because it will exercise
those psycho spiritual muscles, it will interconnect the head in
the heart, and it will also create a rapid acceleration
of your growth and your healing. In the show notes
the description, there are all the links to the blog
and new and full moon ceremonies. But I hope you
