Tarot and the moon: It’s a magical month
Yasmin Boland is an award-winning astrologer and moonologer. She uses the divine wisdom of the moon and the cards to guide us through the month!
The whole of the moon
July brings another eclipse – this time around, it’s a Full Moon eclipse in the sign of Capricorn.
This is a big deal astrologically and energetically speaking. Full Moon eclipses are always trickier to handle than New Moon eclipses because Full Moons are about letting go and moving on, and most of us humans don’t like too much change! So what to do with this Full Moon? In particular, if there is something going on in your working life that you know it’s time for you to give up, just do it. If you hate your job, then now is the time to start looking for something new. Focus on what you want professionally now and it will be easier to let go if and when work you no longer love starts to fall away. Hanging on to a job just for the money is not recommended. And if you know you should leave because you just feel it in your waters, jump before you are pushed, if you can.
If you’re really into your work, then this month could be the tipping point for you to get the acclaim you deserve. This eclipse also reminds us all that working too hard is a bad idea! Get a work/ life balance, if you don’t have one, sorted ASAP! This month, we’re asking the cards – what do I need to know about my working life? Close your eyes and use your index finger to pick card 1, 2 or 3.
Card 1 CHOOSE PEACE
If you want to know what to do next in your working life, here’s a tip; think about your various options. Which option brings the greatest feeling of peace? That is the option you should go for! If you’re having an argument with someone at work, this card is a strong message from the Universe to let it drop and to ‘choose peace.’ The message for you is: ‘There is always a peaceful alternative to conflict.’
Card 2 COME OUT OF THE CLOSET
Not necessarily in the usual sense of the phrase! This card simply suggests that you’re not being totally honest with yourself or someone else about how you feel about your working life. It comes with the message: ‘It’s time to reveal who you really are to yourself and others. This may involve having a heart-to-heart discussion. The more authentic you are, the higher the energy and success of all your projects.’
Card 3 PURIFICATION
This is the card for anyone who is working just for the money. You need to purify your attitude to work, so to speak. It comes with the straight-talking message: ‘Purify your motives and intentions (about work) so they are purely about service and not about fear.’ You might think it’s an impossible dream to have a job which lifts you up but this card suggests that if you put your focus on ‘how may I serve?’ you could end up in a better situation.
