New Day, New Month, New Moon
Time to release that S.O.S. once and for all time, space, and dimensions
Timeless Tarot
I believe in the wisdom of Tarot. Although it reveals prophetic possibilities, it is not fortune telling.
I am continually astonished and humbled by its insightful relevance to questions I ask, for myself and for clients.
What I’ve come to realize, however, is the lasting value of the guidance received. Used properly, Tarot is truly timeless.
Today’s spread was originally posted elsewhere on April 1, 2022, shortly before my first Tarot Tuesday post in this publication only 11 days later.
On occasion I return to the original Card for the Collective series I published on Buy Me a Coffee. When I do, I find that that the random posts I click on offer the guidance the collective most needs to know in the present.
In this case, I was looking for a New Moon spread. This one not only matched the New Moon criteria, it was written for a New Moon occurring on the first day of a New Month.
And once again, I am astounded at the relevancy and timelessness of the reading’s guidance. The original content required only a few text and styling updates.
I would add here, however, that I’m saddened that the wisdom offered in the cards has not yet been heeded to its full potential. Yet I have faith that a New Day, New Month, and New Moon can make a difference.
Perhaps that’s why I was guided to select this message for this day—in hopes that the dire circumstances will finally be resolved.
Tomorrow, December 1, is the first day of a new month (the last of this year), and the New Moon falls on this day. We have the opportunity to let go of the excuses (S.O.S.) and join together for the highest good of the planet and all beings. Let’s not ignore the signs again.
I hope this reading supports you on your journey. Until next time… My best, Shelley
Spread for the Collective
While shuffling the cards, I asked for guidance. New moons are the ideal time to bring in new energy and start new projects. What should be guiding these beginnings?
A card fell from the deck before I was done. This is known as a “jumper,” which means the energy of the card should be considered while interpreting the upcoming spread or pull.
The Spread
The Jumper: 4 of Water, a card illustrated with a pod of humpback whales swimming in luminous waters and assigned the meaning of “Beauty” by the author of the Tarot deck. Good start!
But then the clouds began to gather as I pulled the next three cards, which—from left to right—indicate the past, present, and future influences for the reading.
The bottom card represents the outcome, or future possibility if the guidance is followed.
Past: 5 of Water. “Consequences” pictures a mama Polar bear and cubs on a slab of ice in a frozen, but melting, body of water. The “reflected” image below shows only the mother, no cubs, on a smaller piece of ice. This surely is the energy of climate change we’re bringing into the present. But it’s also an indication of the consequence of human apathy and disregard/disconnection from Nature, our true source of life.
Present: 3 of Air. “Rise Up” shows three herons soaring into the clouds above a small patch of green land surrounded by turbulent waters. Are they abandoning the troubled Earth? Or flying high to see things from a new perspective—one where the warmth of the sun can still be felt?
Future: 5 of Fire. “Choice” requires a closer look. Is the forest on fire and being destroyed? Or, are we looking at a beautiful autumn sunset illuminating the trees? As always, we have choice to determine the future. Which will it be?
Outcome: 3 of Fire. “Lights in the Darkness” reveals a murky swamp with three small candles providing a dim trail of lights.
My Interpretation
I’m a glass-half-full gal, but even if I weren’t, the Jumper card instructs us to view the reading with beauty in mind.
There’s no denying these are troubled times, even for those who continue to look for silver linings. It’s not just the Mama bear and cubs on that melting slab of ice—it’s all of us, our children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren. It’s the future of Earth on the line and we cannot, we cannot, look the other way or leave it for others to fix one day longer.
So, I believe the herons are simply rising up for a clearer vision, as we must. The dismal projections will not be be solved or resolved by yet another Climate Crisis Summit. So far, we’ve seen and heard many promises but minimal change. Not nearly enough, not nearly of the magnitude that’s necessary to turn the progression of species extinction around.
To save and protect Earth, we need to look to nature. The herons are showing us how. Rise up! It’s not abandoning ship. It’s climbing to whatever heights are necessary for the better view and clarity about what the best next steps are.
And so in the future position, today’s card spread asks us to make a choice:
Will we leave it to someone else to put out the fire in the forest and absolve ourselves of responsibility by blaming others for not acting? Or do we see the colorful change of seasons illuminating the leaves of the forest as a glorious tribute to birth and regeneration via natural means?
As always, the outcome card reveals that the future is created by the actions taken in the present.
We can begin as the little lights in the swamp. Maybe there’s just a few of us out there now, but light attracts light. As the lights increase and grow stronger together, change will follow.
I’ve added the heart chakra and Archangel Gabriel candles and the selenite wand to clear and illuminate your path. Blue Lemurian crystal gives strength to your voice and amethyst raises your vibration and heals the mind, body, and soul.
