Be Your Own Parent || A Full Moon in Taurus Ritual and Intuitive Tarot Message

“ It was worth it then, It is worth it now and it’s going to be worth it.”

by Kirsten Renee

“It was worth it then, it is worth it now and it’s going to be worth it.”

- Full Moon Affirmation

Recently I’ve been having a lot of conversations about parenting and backgrounds. As people we tend to forget that at some point we become responsible for our own selves. As children it was our parents or guardians responsibilities to care for us and to make sure that we were fed, had clothes, went to school, etc. it was their job to make sure that we had the basic life necessities. Those moments as children have led us into our adult years and now some of those ways need to be rewritten for many reasons. First of all, you’re the ONLY one that is responsible for yourself now and if that scares you that’s fine. Don’t let that fear stop you from doing what needs to be done though. Maybe you didn’t have the best childhood or your parents didn’t teach you how to be a functioning person. It’s now on you to correct whatever trauma they placed upon you or you can keep dysfunctional cycles going.

It’s never too late to change your narrative or find yourself seeking solid ground, it’s okay. The great thing about The Universe and Goddess is that when you put in the work, the reward comes. You’re the best partner you have so don’t sabotage yourself due to fear and laziness. Your most important job should be the care and love that you have for yourself. If you’re not well in every way then how do you expect for anything to get done. You’ve got bills to pay, you’ve got work to do and some of y’all have children of your own to care for. You’ve got responsibility to yourself to make sure that you live the BEST life that you want. Do yourself a favor and show up when you need to.

Growth comes with the understanding that you’re going to go through shit. You’re going to be pushed down and it’s probably going to hurt. . . A lot. You’re also going to be triumphant and joyful because of the new heights you will reach. Becoming who you are means accepting who you are not and once you realize that you will be able to accept the change that comes. Move forward knowing that the life that you want is full and rich. You’re the best thing that could happen to your goals and life’s purpose. Everything must be balanced in order to even out the playing field. You’ve got to feel the sadness with the happy, go from wet to dry, be hungry and full. Every action has a reaction and with that you make the choice of what outcome you are willing to accept. What are you doing that is aiding what it is that you want? Align your actions with your deepest desires and you’ll be sure to reach your goals.

Intuitive Tarot Message

The High Priestess (Reversed) + 6 of Swords

In order to move forward you must learn discipline and patience. Whether you’re wanting to move forward in your career, relationship or in whatever placement you are in life. When it comes to juggling life and all of the components that come with it. Life can be overwhelming and the simple fact that you’re alive should motivate you to not get stressed by it. You’ve got time to do what needs to be done, you just have to make it happen. Growth and moving forward through life is a direct result of the choices we make. If you’re wanting to run your own business but you’re not putting any work in your “business” will be just an idea.

The way that you move behind the ideas and goals you create is what makes it happen. The universe influences what moves, it aids the motions that we create for ourselves. You’re not going to get the help you want without putting in some work. True elevation starts with recognizing in order to see what’s next you’ve got to leave things behind. Like the snake sheds so do you and it’s okay for you to want that for yourself. There’s nothing wrong with change or being someone new, you can reinvent yourself as many times as you see fit. Just be sure that you’re doing it all for yourself and not to fit any one else’s ideals of who you should be.

Full Moon Tarot Spread + Ritual

October’s Full Moon ritual is very simple and can be done during the day or night! I personally enjoy doing my moon rituals right before the sun comes up, I like the in between light and dark. This ritual will be focusing on what actions we need to take in order to align with our desires. This ritual is super simple and doesn’t require a lot of items, nor do you have to do anything elaborate.

What you’ll need

Notebook/ Notepad
Your favorite pen
A warm drink
Your favorite crystals
An open heart

Make sure that you’re in a quiet space and somewhere you won’t be disturbed by anyone. Do whatever you need in order to quiet your mind and connect to spirit. During this time you can shuffle your deck, meditate, do yoga, dance, etc. anything that helps bring you closer to source and allow you to be open with yourself.

During this spread you’re going to focus on six questions;

Ritual

Full Moons are a great time to release things and step into new phases. Life is all about moving forward and allowing ourselves the chance to face what we keep hidden. The things that go bump in our hearts and what we know can no longer be a part of our world. Growth means to uproot at times and that can be scary, during ritual allow those fears to be removed as well. You are infinite and alive, you are deserving of everything you wish to create.

You can do your full moon ritual any way you want to! You can mix around my steps and even skip them if they don’t resonate with what you’re doing! This particular banishing ritual has no time limit and can be done at any time. Whenever you need to get through something fire magick is a great tool to utilize!

Step 1: Ground yourself - Sit in silence, call out to whatever entity you connect and have a relationship with.

Step 2: Write a list of things you want to disconnect from and burn it.

Invision each thing fading into the unknown as you watch your paper burn!
If you can’t use fire, you can write the list on toilet paper and flush it!

Step 3: Give thanks your spirit guides/angels/ancestors for hearing you and guiding you.

Step 4: Eat something light, dance around, take a shower, or do something relaxing!

This ritual is super simple, you can add your own steps or just do this one! No matter what you do this Full Moon in Taurus remember that you are infinite and deserving. No matter if you do ritual, practice sex magick or even just decide to do nothing your magick is potent!

Blessed be!

New Moon in Aquarius.

by Kirsten F.

Tomorrow's new moon in Aquarius is welcomed with open arms, and it's still Aquarius season so I'm feeling all of the love right now. New moon's have become one of my favorite times, it's when I shut myself off and check in mentally. Of course everyone uses their time differently, but I will say that allowing yourself to be grounded is a necessity. Turn off your phone, take yourself out to eat, run a hot bath, read a book, write, etc... Do whatever your spirit is wanting to do, listen to yourself and trust that whatever you conjure up know that it is destined to be yours if you want it to be.

Use this time to ask yourself the truth. What is it that you want out of this life? What are you doing to be present in your manifestations? What messages are your spirit guides giving you? What part of your self needs some extra attention? These are the questions that you should be asking yourself right now. Utilize the energy that the moon's blessing us with this weekend, there's no better time than the present to live the life you're meant for.

I wrote out my favorite new moon ritual below! Feel free to use it or tweak it to your liking, as always everyone's magick is different so use what you read as study guides!

Kirsten's Guide to The New Moon

1. Turn Off Social Media

It's been one hell of a week, and it's okay to check out of it all. Detach yourself from the world's issues and allow your mind to declutter. Go out into the world, hang out with your girls or your family. Go for a walk, and just sit in nature for a while. Give in to the beauty of the world we live in and appreciate her for all that she's blessed us with.

2. Take A Bath

(or shower!) with your favorite scents that make you feel centered and to add a little boost of energy. Use the crystal(s) that coincide with your personal manifestations, allow yourself to submerge in your own world. Get your favorite bath bomb, essential oils (peppermint oil is my jam right now), and your crystals and sit in the tub! Read a book, drink a glass of wine (or juice), and let your body speak to you!

3 . Do A Self Reading

I like to do a self reading during the new and full moon phases, I tend to find hidden messages from my spirit guides and those messages help me process my current phase better. Whatever your personal form of spiritual connection is. Use this time of self reflection to get to know your own guides better.

4. Take A Walk

There's nothing like going for a stroll in your favorite park, or going for a hike with friends! Being out in nature is the perfect way to find comfort in yourself, be inspired by the breeze, trees, green grass, or whatever is around you. Allow yourself to check out mentally and just flow with the vibes of nature!

5. Meditate

I light my candles, and cleanse my space with sage! I do this once a week any way, but since it is my daily ritual I always make sure to incorporate it into my new moon ritual as well. I also like to stretch during this time! Yoga, or just simple stretches always help me find my center! Also lighting a energizing incense scent can really add extra comfort to your meditation space.

6. Write Your New Moon Intentions.

This is a time for allowing yourself to dream and manifest your wildest dreams. Write down these intentions, write everything that you want to bring into your life. Whether that be love, financial stability, or even if you just want to be more organized. No matter what your intentions are they are yours, and once you write them down you are solidifying them. So be mindful about what you ask the universe to provide you with.
