Full Moon in Aries
It is an Aries Full Moon on this day in the constellations. This is a time that corresponds to peaks, culminations, and heightened activity and feeling. It is a good time to see your projects to the finish line, but remember to rest and nurture your system amid the activity of the moment. Trusting your instincts. Trust your passion. Trust the paths that light your heart on fire. If you are looking for daily information in an astrology app I use the Chani App for focused astrology delivered each day. Theresa Reed is also another very experienced astrologer and tarot reader that offers many resources. I highly recommend her. I will share more resources over time, that I have found useful, educational and inspiring. Astrology is a beautiful life map to help create rhythm and structure to your days.
This full moon finds me immersed in a class online. I will share about it in a later post. Taking classes is a wonderful way to stay engaged and grow in ways that enable you to find communities that perhaps you do not have in your own current community. It enriches me and helps me to take paths that I had not been living before. I have been involved in many trainings, classes, webinars, workshops both in person and online for decades. One thing often leads to another. The range of things I have taken have gone from a few hour workshop, to days long classes, multi-month trainings and finally full multiple year trainings. Being a life long learner is very important to me.
Reading books of course is a part of this self-development. However, a developed class allows for much more exploration. Opportunities for community and friendship are always present. The amount of time you put into your classes or learnings is in my experience - how much you will develop and learn related to the class. I have done both things. I have taken classes and let them wash over me without a great amount of work put into them. Other trainings I have put in daily concentrated work and effort and I grow so much more if I do this. I get out of the class - what I put into it. The responsibility is on me. The teacher has done their part in the offering. Now it’s my time to decide how this will manifest in my life. I am always more pleased with myself if I do the good work.
In this current class - as in most classes, I tend to use a tarot deck to travel along with me as guidance, inspiration and personal development. Daily draws bring a unique focus to the lesson or theme for that day. How is the card showing me to work with this days teachings? It broadens what the teacher offers and brings some personal insight as to how the teaching can work in my particular life. Throughout the day - I may draw a card when a question comes up - for clarification. It is an inspiring and visual way to keep my thinking living in an imaginal and magical way. I love the artful way of looking at things through the tarot as a helpful tool.
The tarot is also very useful in setting up a small altar for my learning. There can be a larger arching tableau for any learning opportunity you are so fortunate to be in. I always count my blessings when I am enabled to take a class. Tarot used as creating a creative tableau for particular modules, questions, learnings is so helpful. The image might allow you to discover something that was outside of your thinking. I believe living with tarot and working with a variety of decks facilitates movement, discovery and internal dialogue along with imagination in my studies. I am always grateful for insights brought to me through working with the tarot as both a personal and a business tool.
What do you see here that might speak to you in your own life today? Look at the reading with a curious and open mind. The reading has meaning for me. The relevance you might find is in you own thinking. I hope that you find some measure of inspiration and seeking. May good things find you.
