- Aries New Moon Total Solar Eclipse
The second new moon Aries is on Thursday, April 20th at 12:12 am ET. Four minutes after that we will have a total solar eclipse at 12:16 am ET. Then at 12:30 am ET the moon transits into Taurus. What is a New Moon? The Sun and Moon are together again in the sign of Aries. When the sun and moon are together in a sign (conjunct) it means the moon is starting a new cycle and this second new moon in Aries and Solar Eclipse is happens on April 20th 2023 at 12:12 am ET. Each NEW MOON offers an opportunity for us to plant seeds of intentions that we can nurture and grow as moon waxes (grows) and prune as the moon wanes (gets smaller). A new moon cycle happens every month when the moon meets up with the sun in the sky. I call this a "moonth" When the moon is in Aries there is a collective need to be independent and develop our authenticity by taking courageous action towards our goals and intentions. We feel an urgency to focus, initiate, and set boundaries. What is Aries about? Aries is a fire sign which corresponds to creativity, identity, actions, and personal will. Aries embodies fire energy in the form of a shooting star. Have you ever seen a shooting star? The first time I saw one I felt inspired and energized. I was in awe. Tapping into Aries energy is like that. It brings out our inner leader to assertively take responsibility for our lives and actively design the life we want. Why are we having a second Aries New Moon? The first new moon in Aries happened at 0º while this second new moon in Aries is happening at 29º. The new moon is in the same sign but the energy is completely different. Last moonth we experienced the initiating energy and this moonth we will experience the closing out energy. What are the Aries Sabian Symbols? The Sabian Symbols are a set of 360 phrases that correspond to the wheel of the zodiac. Each one of these symbols holds a story and unique energy field of their own, to further help to understand your path in life. Aries 0º - A woman rises out of water, a seal rises and embraces her This degree is the beginning of the zodiac where the old gets left behind and a new understanding and awareness comes to light. This is the beginning of a whole new impulse, creative and responsive. Aries 29º - A duck pond and its brood This Symbol speaks of families, being with and caring for youngsters, and caring for each other. Finding friends or family that enrich our life can lead to a sense of community, belonging and love.

A solar eclipse occurs when the moon passes between the earth and the sun, casting a shadow on the earth's surface. During a solar eclipse, the moon appears to cover the sun, blocking its light and creating a spectacular celestial display. There are different types of solar eclipses, including total solar eclipses, partial solar eclipses, and annular solar eclipses. In a total solar eclipse, (this is what we are experiencing this cycle) the moon completely covers the sun, while in a partial solar eclipse, only a part of the sun is covered. An annular solar eclipse occurs when the Moon is at its furthest distance from the Earth, making it appear smaller than the Sun and creating a "ring of fire" effect around the edges of the Sun. Chani Nicholas says "eclipses happen in groups, usually of two, and they'll occur every six months. They have a way of defining the year in an activating type of way. They create openings and closings or beginnings and endings." We'Moon 2023 says "April 19th total solar eclipse at 29º Aries obscures our view and our willpower flags. Use this down time to gain fresh notions of where to put your energy, and what's worth pursuing. The return of light offers promise. May 5th penumbral lunar eclipse at 14º Scorpio opens up in revealing ways. Old emotional wounds may surface. Let the returning light bring closure, and embrace the healing of your heart anew. " Six month later on October 14 we will have an annual solar eclipse at 21º of Libra and on October 28th a partial lunar eclipse at 5º Taurus. The Tarot Lady Theresa Reed wrote an informative blog post about this solar eclipse along with mini tarot readings for each sign. Read it here. To read about the tarot cards and the modality associated with Aries, see the Aries New Moon Post . What are the Aries Focus Areas? Use the list of Aries focus areas to set your Aries influenced intentions, goals, and wishes. It is best to keep your list to 10 or less. Also, as the moon waxes, becomes full, and wanes make a note to come back to these intentions, goals, and wishes so you can refine them until they are crystal clear. New Beginnings: Initiating, Taking Action Focusing on Self: Survival Issues, Instincts Assertiveness Authenticity: Honesty, Impulsiveness, Straightforwardness Self Discovery: Taking Risks, Competition, Eagerness Independence: Self-Direction, Self-Reliance, Self-Sufficiency Warrior Nature: Courage, Leadership, Strength, Boldness Self Absorption: Selfishness, Vanity, Anger, Impatience Aries Moonth Spread What is the seed of the Aries Moonth? What begins to grow as the moon waxes in Leo? What do you celebrate/forgive when the moon is full in Scorpio? What do you let go of as the moon wanes in Aquarius?

- Dandelion – A Flower of Many Names & Healthy in All the Ways
Dandelion Leaf, Flower, and Root are all medicinal. (Dandelion Flower to Seed Cycle. Filmed by Neil Bromhall over a one month period) What are the names of Dandelion? Dandelion Also Known As Tarxacum officinale Flower of the Sun Lion’s Tooth Blow Ball Fortune Teller Piss in Bed Wish Plus, many more names Dandelion may have so many names because the roots, leaves, and flowerheads are all edible and medicinal. It is native to Europe and Asia, but it grows globally. The European colonizers thought so highly of it they brought it with them across the seas and spread it across the United States. Everywhere else they went, they spread Dandelion making it prolific worldwide. (Hourdajian) (Dandelion grows wild in NYC) Why is Dandelion villainized? In the United States, Dandelion has been villainized as a weed because she grows where she wants. The website Science and Plants for Schools says that some weeds can cause harm such as: poison animals and crops, be a host to pests and diseases, and block drainage and irrigation channels. However, they do not mention that many weeds are highly revered and medicinal. Dandelion is loved by animals, from bees to bears. It creates drainage channels in compacted soils and restores mineral health to abused soils. It aerates and attracts earth worms to soils making them beneficial to any garden. (Weed). Also, dandelions are pretty in flower and seed. As a child I called dandelion seed heads "wishes." I would take a seed head and my blow my wishes into it whenever I found one. Blowing dandelion seeds is one of the ways the plant is so prolific. As the seed head flies away it can travel hundreds of miles depending on wind strength. Dandelion seeds do not need to be planted and can germinate on their own under most conditions. (Hourdajian) Another reason why Dandelion has a bad name is because she interferes with the dream of the sprawling green lawn with no agricultural value. The green lawn is perceived as a status symbol and was popularized by patriarchs of the United States; George Washington and Thomas Jefferson in the 1770’s. Take a look at David Botti’s video; The Great American Lawn: How the Dream was Manufactured, to learn more about the American Dream of owning a house with a great green lawn. Does Dandelion have folklore? While the plant is a villain to some, it is a savior and revered by many. The North American Indians have folklore around Dandelion, summarized like this: “A long time ago, there lived a Medicine Man named Kosi Agu, Flower of the Sun. Kosi had two friends that were always at his side and ready to help him carry out his duties as a medicine man. They were the Eagle and the Mountain Lion. The Eagle brought messages and medicines from the sky and high mountain tops while the Mountain Lion gave Kosi strength of body and protection whenever it was needed. Together the three worked tirelessly in helping the community, Kosi by caring for the community’s sick, the Eagle by flying and collecting herbs high up the mountain, and the Mountain Lion would help by digging up roots from the earth when they were needed. When the time came for the three friends to return into the earth they asked to be buried in a meadow where in their place a plant would grow. The Flower would be like Kosi Agu’s name and heart. The leaves would be like the teeth of the Mountain Lion, and the roots would be like the legs of the Eagle. The plant helped the sick and fed their bodies, today you can always count on Dandelion to help you stay healthy" (summarized from text by Walking Night Bear & Padilla ) What are the medicinal properties of Dandelion? Today Dandelion is considered a medicinal plant by herbalists. It assists the gut, liver, and kidneys in functioning at full potential. Susan Weed dedicated a whole chapter to Dandelion in her much referenced book Healing Wise. She says Dandelion root is hepatic meaning it strengthens and nourishes the liver and its functioning. It is a tonic that nourishes the functioning of a muscle, organ, or system, it invigorates, and strengthens all activity. It is a digestive stimulant. And, it is also deobstruent defined by Weed as slowly loosening and removing obstructions to health and the healthy flow of life. Dandelion leaf is nutritive , providing vitamins and minerals to assist with health wholeness. The leaf is also stomachic meaning it nourishes and strengthens the stomach. Dandelion flowers used externally are emollient (softens and soothes) the skin. The flowers are also hepatic , strengthening and nourishing the liver and its functioning. Dandelion Herbcraft ideas Tea Vinegar Infusion Tincture Oil Flower Essence Who is Dandelion in tarot? Inspired by the Fool, in the Herbcrafter's tarot, I made a Dandelion vinegar to use in my salad dressing and in cooking. This is a great tasting way to infused my foods with the medicinal benefits of Dandelion. I purchased dandelion leaves at the farmers market. If you live in the country or have a backyard, and know an area that is not poisoned by weed killer harvest it. Dandelion leaves in the spring are delicious added to salads. In the summer harvest the flowers and leaves to make teas (infusions), tinctures, flower essences, vinegars, and oils. In the autumn harvest the dandelion root to make tinctures and teas (infusions). Dandelion Vinegar Recipe Loosely fill a jar with dandelion Fill the jar to the top with Apple Cider Vinegar Cover the jar with parchment paper to prevent metal lids from rusting. Or use a plastic lid. Infuse for 2 - 4 weeks. Strain vinegar, compost or discard plant material. I use my dandelion infused vinegar on salads or sip it to be bold and audacious as the Dandelion Fool from the Herbcrafter's Taro t suggests. Sources: Botti, David. 08/09/2019.

- Celebrate Your Courage: The Leo Full Moon Guide

As the Moon reaches its fullest expression in Leo, it invites us to step into the spotlight of our own lives, embracing courage, creativity, and authenticity. The Power of the Full Moon The Full Moon shines its brightest, revealing what has been hidden or suppressed. It offers a time for reflection, celebration, and release. This is the moment to look within, acknowledge your progress, and shed what no longer aligns with your path. The Leo Moon Mood When the Moon is in Leo, the energy is bold, expressive, and heart-centered. This is a time for: Stepping into confidence – Present your ideas, tell your story, or promote your work. Creative expression – Write, dance, paint, or engage in any form of self-expression. Celebration – Honor your achievements and the people in your life. Generosity – Share your time, resources, and appreciation with others. Courageous action – Take a bold step toward your dreams.

Leo Full Moon Ritual: Charge Your Spiritual Tools The light of the Full Moon amplifies energy, making it an ideal time to cleanse and charge your spiritual tools.

Charging Your Tools Place them outside under the moonlight, on a windowsill, or in a special place.For each item, set an intention: "I invite the light and manifestation power of this Full Moon to bless and amplify this tool, so it may serve its highest purpose. Blessed be." In the morning, offer a prayer of gratitude to the Moon for its guidance and the renewed energy within your tools. The Leo Full Moon reminds us to stand in our power, embrace joy, and express our true selves without hesitation.

- Pisces New Moon - Dream, Imagine, Manifest: Working with the Pisces New Moon
The Power of the Pisces New Moon Every New Moon is an invitation to plant seeds of intention, tapping into the cosmic energy available to us. When the New Moon occurs in Pisces ♓, it calls us to dream, reflect, and integrate —encouraging deep inner work and devotion to our highest dreams and visions. Pisces, the last sign of the zodiac, is the realm of imagination, intuition, and surrender . This is a time to allow inspiration to flow, trust your inner wisdom, and take action on the dreams that feel most aligned with your soul’s path. As the Moon waxes and grows, so will the intentions you set. Pisces Energy & Influence Pisces is a mutable water sign , symbolized by two fish swimming in opposite directions—one toward reality , the other toward fantasy . This duality speaks to the Piscean ability to move between the seen and unseen, between logic and intuition, between the physical and the mystical.

On the flip side it is about deception and illusion. 🌊 Neptune - The Hanged Man Neptune the planet of spiritual and inner psychology is the ruler of Pisces and in Tarot is assigned the Hanged Man Card.

- SMART Goals: Design the Life You Want
Your dreams deserve a plan! Align Tarot with the SMART Goals framework to bring clarity, action, and manifestation into your life. “A dream written down with a date becomes a goal. A goal broken down into steps becomes a plan. A plan backed by action makes your dreams come true.” - Greg Reid Manifestation requires more than just seeing pretty pictures on a vision board —it requires a strategy to make it happen. One of my favorite tools for designing the life I want is the Tarot . Not only do I use it for self-reflection and decision-making, but I also incorporate it into setting SMART goals —a framework that ensures goals are Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, and Time-bound . I looked through the Tarot deck to see which Major Arcana cards align with this framework, and here’s what I discovered: S – Be Specific with The Magician The Magician reminds us that we have all the tools we need to manifest our desires. He works with creativity (fire/wands), practicality (earth/pentacles), intellect (air/swords), and intuition (water/cups). Action Step: Write down your goal and make it as specific as possible. Instead of "I want to be healthier," say, "I will practice yoga three times a week to improve flexibility and reduce stress." M – Measure Progress with The Emperor The Emperor is all about structure and foundations. He encourages us to define metrics so we can track progress and celebrate achievements. Action Step: Identify measurable signs of success. If your goal is financial stability, define a clear target: "Save $5,000 by the end of the year." A – Take Action with The Chariot The Chariot moves forward with purpose, focus, and discipline. He represents the drive needed to overcome obstacles and reach your destination. Action Step: What steps can you take today to move toward your goal? If your goal is writing a book, an action step might be: "Write 500 words daily." R – Stay Realistic with Justice Justice is about honesty and alignment. This card invites you to reflect on whether your goal is realistic and aligns with your personal values. Action Step: Ask yourself: Do I have the resources to achieve this? If not, what’s missing? If your goal is to launch a business, do you have the financial backing or a plan to secure it? T – Set a Timeline with The World The World represents completion and achievement. Setting a timeline creates accountability and momentum. Action Step: Establish deadlines: What can you achieve in six weeks? Six months? A year? Write it down and commit. SMART Goals Prompts Specific: Write down your goal be as specific as possible. Measurable: What metrics do you have in place to keep your goals on track? Attainable : What actions can you take today to reach your goal? Relevant : Do you have the resources and capacity to attain the goal? If not, what are you missing? Time Bound: What is the target accomplishment date? Use Tarot to quickly identify challenges, strategies, wisdom, and actions to reach your goal SMART Goals Tarot Spread What is my goal? Go through deck - face up - and pick a card that represents your goal. What challenges do I have to look out for? What strategy will help resolve the challenges? What wisdom do I gain from overcoming this challenge? What action can I implement right now? TIP: Move card number 5 to the number 1 position and find challenges, strategies, wisdom and another action. Example SMART Goals Tarot Reading Goal : The King of Pentacles - Start a business that provides a sustainable income (card chosen consciously) Challenge : Five of Swords - Fear of failure, self-doubt, or worrying about what others think. Strategy : Ace of Wands - Lean into creativity, personal will, and enthusiasm. Wisdom : Wheel of Fortune - Life is always changing, success comes from adaptability. Action : Four of Cups - Reach out to potential customers and offer value today. Let me know how this method works for you in the comments section.

- Winter Solstice
A Time of Pause and Renewal The Winter Solstice happens on December 21st/22nd, it one of the four cosmic turning points in the year. The winter solstice marks the shortest day and longest night of the year, symbolizing the end of the solar year and the promise of longer days returning. Starting on December 25th, the days grow longer by one minute each day until we reach the height of summer on the Summer Solstice. I like to think of the Winter Solstice as the New Moon of the year—a time for fresh starts, reflection, and planting seeds for the future. I like to think of the Winter Solstice as the New Moon of the year—a time for fresh starts, reflection, and planting seeds for the future. In this analogy, the Summer Solstice becomes the Full Moon, while the Spring and Autumn Equinoxes align with the Waxing and Waning Moons. These connections remind us that our personal growth is cyclical, mirroring the rhythms of the natural world. The Winter Solstice is both an astronomical phenomenon and a mythological archetype—a time to honor the balance between darkness and light, reflection and renewal. Astronomical Perspective: The Sun “Standing Still” The word solstice comes from the Latin sol (sun) and sistere (to stand still). Around this time, the Sun appears to pause in its southward journey along the horizon, lingering at its lowest point in the sky for about three days. This “standstill” is a result of the Sun’s gradual shift along its ecliptic path, a near plateau in its movement before it begins its slow ascent northward. While the Sun’s ascent technically begins immediately after the solstice, the change is so subtle that ancient cultures observed what seemed like a pause in time—a moment to reflect before the return of light became noticeable. When the sun starts to move again, we could say it is the return of the SUN. Mythological Perspective: The Three Days of Stillness For many ancient traditions, these three days symbolized a time of death and rebirth. The Sun was seen as resting or “dying,” only to be reborn on December 25th, a day widely celebrated as the return of light: Yule Celebrates the rebirth of the Sun God and the lengthening of days. Christianity December 25th marks the birth of Jesus, often viewed as the “light of the world” also known as the SON of God. Saturnalia A joyful time honoring Saturn, abundance, and renewal. Also did you know Saturn rules Capricorn? And that Capricorn season starts on the Winter Solstice? This symbolic pause offers a powerful metaphor for our own lives—a chance to reflect on the year that has passed, let go of what no longer serves, and set intentions for the growing light of the new year. Winter Solstice Ritual: A Reflective Tarot Journey To honor this sacred time, consider combining reflection and intention-setting with tarot. Using the energy of the solstice, align your insights with the archetypal wisdom of the 12 zodiac signs. Winter Solstice Tarot Spread: A Ritual for Reflection and Renewal Winter Solstice Tarot Spread: Shuffle your deck and draw one card for each of the 12 zodiac signs, using their motto as your prompt for reflection. Arrange the cards in a circle, starting with Capricorn at the top, and move counterclockwise (mirroring the zodiac wheel). Reflect on the message of each card and its connection to the zodiac’s energy: Winter Solstice Capricorn (I Use): What resources or tools are ready for you to use? Aquarius (I Know): What insights or truths are guiding you forward? Pisces (I Imagine): What dreams and visions are emerging for the new year? Spring Equinox Aries (I Am): How can you embody your truest self in this moment? Taurus (I Have): What strengths or values can you rely on? Gemini (I Think): What thoughts or ideas need your attention or refinement? Summer Solstice Cancer (I Feel): What emotions are calling for nurturing or release? Leo (I Show): How can you share your light and creativity with the world? Virgo (I Analyze): What aspects of your life could benefit from clarity or improvement? Autumn Equinox Libra (I Balance): Where in your life is balance or harmony needed? Scorpio (I Transform): What transformations are ready to unfold? Sagittarius (I Seek): What knowledge or adventure is calling to you? Reflect and Journal After pulling the cards, take time to journal your insights for each zodiac sign. Notice patterns or recurring themes—what stands out as your focus for the coming year? Consider how these insights align with the solstice’s energy of release and renewal. The Winter Solstice: The Cosmic New Year The Winter Solstice is a powerful opportunity to honor the cycles of nature and your own life. Through reflection, ritual, and tarot, you can align yourself with the returning light, planting seeds for the year to come. As the Sun begins its slow ascent, remember that each day brings a little more light—both in the world and within yourself. When Does the New Year Really Begin? Did you know there are multiple ways to mark the New Year? Different traditions, calendars, and celestial events offer unique opportunities to celebrate fresh starts. Here’s a breakdown of some key options: The Cosmic New Year (Winter Solstice): The cosmos gives us its first New Year when the Sun enters Capricorn, around December 21st. Known as the Winter Solstice, this day marks the return of longer daylight in the Northern Hemisphere—a perfect moment for renewal. The Gregorian New Year (January 1st): The calendar most of the world follows today, the Gregorian calendar, celebrates the New Year on January 1st. This date is largely a convention rooted in Roman tradition, but it’s widely recognized as a time to set goals and resolutions. The Lunar Capricorn New Year: The New Moon in Capricorn, which occurs between December 21st and January 21st, offers another chance to align with a fresh start. This lunation marks an ideal moment to set grounded, ambitious intentions in sync with Capricorn’s energy. The Chinese New Year: Rooted in lunar traditions, the Chinese New Year begins on the second New Moon after the Winter Solstice, typically falling between January 21st and February 20th. It’s a vibrant celebration of renewal and preparation for the year ahead. The Astrological New Year (Spring Equinox): For those who follow the zodiac, the New Year begins when the Sun enters Aries, the first sign of the zodiac, around March 20th. The Spring Equinox represents a time of balance, energy, and growth, aligning with nature’s renewal. Are there other ways to mark the New Year? Cultures, traditions, and spiritual practices around the world offer a variety of perspectives. Each of the New Year's mentioned above offers a meaningful opportunity to reflect, reset, and begin anew. Which resonates most with you? May your solstice be filled with insight, intention, and renewal. Blessed Be! 🌑✨
