Ah, great news! Mercury is out of retrograde, so it will still be a few weeks before the kinks from it are out.

We are dealing with New Moon energies in Virgo, as this is a time to make practical choices and set helpful intentions that will benefit your physical and mental health.

So, I am doing a collective New Moon reading, and I am using the following simple New Moon three-card spread and I get the Ace of Swords, Knight of Pentacles, and Three of Cups:

Card 1: The Energy of the New Moon: This card represents the overall energy or theme of the New Moon phase. It provides insights into the opportunities, challenges, or areas of focus that may arise during this time. The Ace of Swords comes up.

The Ace of Swords represents new beginnings, mental clarity, and potential breakthroughs. This card suggests that the energy of the New Moon phase will bring fresh perspectives and opportunities for clear thinking.

It encourages you to embrace your intellect, make decisions based on logic and reason, and cut through any confusion or mental obstacles holding you back.

Card 2: What to Release: This card reveals what you need to let go of or release during the New Moon phase. It can be a habit, belief, situation, or anything that no longer serves your highest good. The Knight of Pentacles comes up.

The Knight of Pentacles represents a systematic and practical approach to life. This card suggests it is time to release any tendencies toward overthinking or being overly cautious during the New Moon phase.

Let go of perfectionism and the need to plan everything perfectly. Instead, embrace a more flexible and adaptable mindset, allowing yourself to take risks and explore new possibilities.

Card 3: What to Embrace: This card suggests what you should embrace or invite into your life during the New Moon phase. It represents the energies, qualities, or actions supporting your growth, intentions, or desires. The Three of Cups comes up.

The Three of Cups represents celebration, joy, and connection with others. This card suggests it is time to embrace the spirit of camaraderie and collaboration during the New Moon phase.

Seek opportunities to connect with loved ones, friends, or like-minded individuals who bring positivity and support into your life. Celebrate your achievements and find joy in shared experiences.

Overall, this reading suggests that during the New Moon phase, you have the potential to gain mental clarity and make breakthroughs (Ace of Swords).

Release any tendencies towards overthinking or being overly cautious (Knight of Pentacles), and instead embrace a more flexible and adaptable mindset. Focus on connecting with others, celebrating your achievements, and finding joy in shared experiences (Three of Cups).

By embracing these energies, you can make the most of the New Moon phase and set the stage for positive growth and fulfillment.

If you want to do this New Moon reading tonight, take a moment to center yourself and set your intention for the New Moon phase. Shuffle your tarot deck while focusing on your question or purpose.

Once you feel ready, draw three cards and place them face down in the above order. Turn them over one by one, starting with the first card, and reflect on their meanings and how they relate to your current situation and intentions for the New Moon phase.

Now, onto the other stuff; when I start the podcast, I may not get to it for weeks or even November. I will let you know, but I will keep you updated.

I cannot set any dates right now as this weekend, I am adopting a puppy! That is so fitting for the New Moon and the Jewish New Year, as it is Rosh Hashana.

Be sure to check my notes each weekday, as I have a daily reading up there, so see you on Monday.
