Aries New Moon Soul Reading (I Will Survive and Thrive)
Spring has Sprung AND it’s the fiery, impulsive New Moon in ARIES on April 11.
So, get ready to give yourself a soul reading by picking-a-card from one of my 4 hand painted oracle decks pictured above. The reveal is below. First, take a few relaxed breaths and then make a wish.
By the way, both Spring and the New Moon are THE BEST TIME to set your intentions for the moonth (and the year) ahead. At the bottom of this post you’ll also find a 13 minute video filmed in an incredible succulent/cactus garden in bloom near my home in Temecula, California.
“I Will Survive and Thrive” is the affirmation of the month so say it loud and say it proud.
New Moon in Aries Soul Reading
Card 1: Ande was ready for any adventure (Lefty Oracle Deck)
Mantra: I am brave.
Affirmation: I am ready for any adventure.
Element: Fire
Ande was ready for any adventure (Lefty Oracle Deck)
Song
I am strong, brave, and ready;
a warrior in heart, mind and body.
I am prepared, excited, and lucky;
armed with knowledge,
grounded and guided by intuition.
Whatever happens
I will survive AND thrive.
I am blessed
and oh, so grateful
for being alive.
If this card appears in a reading get ready for an adventure! It may be external or internal; in the mundane world or in the magical realms. You are prepared, your mind clear, and your heart steady. If you don’t yet know the destination or when you’ll arrive that is okay too. It will be revealed in time. Trust that you ARE on the right path and that you will be guided. Signposts will appear along the way. Trust is required as well as surrender. So be present and enjoy the journey.
In my own life I have used this card to help a loved one pass over to the Other Side. She was adventurous so this card appealed to her and helped her trust the blessings of her final journey.
