Okay, here’s my experience doing a full moon tarot spread in 2023. I remember it was a chilly night, and the moon was huge and bright in the sky.
I gathered my stuff: my tarot deck, a notebook, a pen, and a candle to set the mood. I found a quiet spot in my backyard where I could see the moon clearly. I lit the candle and took a few deep breaths to get centered. It felt really peaceful out there under the moonlight.
I shuffled my tarot deck while thinking about what I wanted to learn from this reading. I was feeling a bit lost and unsure about some things in my life, so I asked the cards, “What is this full moon shining light on in my life? What do I need to focus on right now?” Then I laid out five cards in a simple spread I found online.
- The first card represented what was being illuminated by the full moon. I got the Moon card, which felt spot on. It’s all about intuition and things that aren’t clear yet, which was exactly how I was feeling.
- The second card was about what I needed to release. It was the Tower. I knew it was time to let go of old beliefs.
- The third card showed me what I needed to embrace. It was the Star, which is all about hope and healing. I needed to trust that things would get better.
- The fourth card gave me advice on how to move forward. I got the Chariot. The advice was to take control of my life and move in the direction I wanted to go.
- The fifth card was the outcome if I followed this advice. It was the World, which represents completion and success. Seeing this card gave me a lot of hope and motivation.
I spent some time looking at each card, jotting down my thoughts and feelings in my notebook. The Moon card really resonated with me. It reminded me to trust my gut feelings more and not to be afraid of the unknown. I realized I had been ignoring my intuition lately, relying too much on logic and what other people thought I should do.
After the reading, I felt a sense of clarity and peace. It was like the moon had shone a light on the things I needed to see. I blew out the candle and thanked the moon and the cards for their guidance. I decided to keep my notebook handy to track my progress and to remind myself of the insights I had gained.
What I Learned
This full moon tarot spread was a powerful experience. It helped me connect with my inner self and gain some much-needed clarity. It reminded me that it’s okay to not have all the answers and to trust the journey. I learned that sometimes, you need to let go of old ways of thinking to make room for new growth. And most importantly, I was reminded to listen to my intuition—it usually knows what’s up, even when my brain is still figuring things out.
