New Moons are like a blank slate, they remind us that it's possible to make a fresh start, to begin again, and choose to embrace new opportunities. They are also a wonderful time to turn within and reflect on all that came before, what we’ve learned and how we move forward. Navigating this stuff on our own is hard! I hope these messages will help you figure it out.
My approach to the Tarot has always been less about knowing the future and more about problem solving or opening our mind to new perspectives or possibilities. Each of these messages will come with something to consider, some personal reflections, some ideas for creative endeavours, and mini mission.

Unakite - Death Card
Some endings are more important that others. Some are more heartbreaking than others. And some, are more freeing than others. The only consistent thing about endings is that they will eventually happen. We often have no control over that. But we can control how we experience that ending and what we learn from it.
Personal Reflection
- What endings are you facing?
- How are you feeling about that ending and why?
- What opportunities does this ending present?
- What can you learn?

Sunstone - Strength
What does it mean to be strong? True strength is not measured in pounds or kilos. It is measured in all the moments you face resistance in your life. The moments when you feel like you will fail, like you want to quit, but you keep taking steps forward. It’s not about how many times you fall, it's about how many times you get back up again.
Personal Reflection
- Where are you feeling weak in your life right now?
- How might you face that weakness, or take steps to move beyond it?
- Is there an area of your life that could use a little more compassion?
- List all the ways you are showing up, even when you don't feel like it.
