As the celestial dance unfolds, we find ourselves standing under the enchanting glow of the New Moon in Taurus. Symbolizing new beginnings and growth, this cosmic event presents a unique opportunity for us to harness its powerful energy and manifest our desires. You know I am actually a true skeptic about a lot of this stuff, including my own work with the tarot. How the heck does a deck of cards seem to magically allow me to hear my intuition? What?! And I DEFINITELY have not believed in any new moon/full moon mumbojumbo that’s for sure… UNTIL in 2016 on New Years Eve I decided to give the New Moon Manifestation stuff a try and HOLY MOLY. A literal miracle happened two weeks later. The very thing that I “wished/intended” for to happen – which was virtually impossible by the way – happened. WTH. So, in this blog post, we’ll explore how to conduct a New Moon manifestation ritual, incorporating the energy of Taurus and the guidance of tarot cards. We’ll also discuss various ways to honour and connect with the New Moon today. So, are your ready? Here we go!
- Setting the Stage:
To create a sacred space for your New Moon ritual, find a quiet corner where you can focus and feel at ease. Light a candle, burn some sage or palo santo to cleanse the energy, and create an ambiance that resonates with your intentions. Take a few deep breaths, grounding yourself in the present moment.
- Tarot Guidance:
Draw a tarot card to gain insight and guidance for your manifestation process. As the New Moon resides in Taurus, cards like The Empress or The Ace of Pentacles may hold particular significance. Reflect on the card’s imagery, symbolism, and messages. How does it relate to your current desires and aspirations? You can also use my New Moon Spread to gain even more insight, clarity and guidance on any New Moon throughout the year. Download it right here.
- Intentions and Affirmations:
With a pen and paper, write down your intentions for this lunar cycle. Focus on what you wish to manifest, envisioning the qualities, experiences, or transformations you desire. Be specific, but also open to the universe’s wisdom and surprises. Once your intentions are written, recite them as affirmations, infusing them with belief and passion. Also – important – to really feel what it would be like to already have this in your life/work/relationships. This is a huge part of manifesting many people don’t realize or forget to do.
- New Moon Ritual:
a. Charging Crystals: If you have crystals, gather them and hold them in your hands. Visualize the energy of the New Moon infusing them with its power. Set your intentions for each crystal, charging them with the purpose you wish them to serve.
b. Elemental Connection: Step outside under the night sky if possible. Connect with the elements by feeling the earth beneath your feet, inhaling the scents carried by the wind, and acknowledging the fire within you that burns with passion and determination. Embrace the connection to the natural world, recognizing your place in the universe.
c. Burning Ceremony: Write down any self – limiting beliefs, fears, or obstacles that hinder your manifestation journey on a separate piece of paper. Safely light a fireproof dish or cauldron and burn the paper, releasing those limitations into the flames. As the smoke rises, visualize the negative energies dissipating, making room for positive transformation.
- Honouring the New Moon Today:
Beyond the ritual, there are various ways to honour and align with the energy of the New Moon throughout the day:
a. Meditation: Practice meditation to quiet the mind and connect with your inner wisdom. Use this time to reflect on your intentions and deepen your understanding of your desires.
b. Journaling: Write in your journal, allowing your thoughts and emotions to flow freely. Explore your dreams, fears, and aspirations, and note any insights or inspirations that arise.
c. Nature Walk: Take a leisurely stroll in nature, immersing yourself in the beauty and tranquility around you. Let the serenity of the natural world amplify your connection to the New Moon’s energy.
The New Moon in Taurus presents an opportune moment for transformation and manifestation. By embracing a New Moon ritual and incorporating tarot cards, we open ourselves to the universe’s guidance and the power within. As we honour the New Moon throughout the day, we deepen our connection to its energy and align ourselves with the cosmic forces at play. So, let your intentions take flight, trust in the process, and let the transformative magic of the New Moon in Taurus unfold!
As always I love to hear from you! Comment below if you have ever had an experience working with the energy of the New Moon!

“Nature’s essence and the wild woman intertwine, blossoming into untamed beauty.”
The life cycle of a berry beautifully mirrors the essence of the wild woman. Just as the berry begins as a seed, the wild woman is born from a seed of untamed spirit and innate wisdom. She carries within her the potential for growth, transformation, and fierce authenticity.
As the berry sprouts and blooms into a delicate flower, the wild woman awakens to her true nature. She embraces her wildness, tapping into her intuition, instincts, and primal energy. Like the flower, she radiates a vibrant energy, unapologetically expressing her authentic self to the world.
As the flower transforms into a small, unassuming fruit, the wild woman’s power grows and ripens. She gathers life experiences, wisdom, and lessons, becoming an embodiment of feminine strength, resilience, and sensuality. Her essence, just like the sweet and juicy berry, entices and nourishes those who are drawn to her energy.
But the wild woman’s journey doesn’t end there.
Just as the berry offers its seeds to the world, the wild woman shares her wisdom, teachings, and feminine power with others. She becomes a catalyst for growth, inspiring those around her to embrace their own wildness and step into their authentic selves.
As the berry’s seeds disperse and find their place in the fertile soil, the wild woman’s legacy continues to thrive through the lives she touches. Her wild spirit and wisdom ripple through generations, reminding others of their innate power, connection to nature, and the importance of embracing the untamed aspects of their being.
So, let us honour the wild woman within us and in others.
Let us embrace the cycle of growth, transformation, and contribution, just as the berry embodies. May we celebrate our wildness, nourish our souls, and inspire others to reclaim their own wild nature. Like the berry, may we embody the innate power and beauty of the wild woman and leave a lasting impact on the world.

Did you ever just feel that no matter what you do road blocks are being thrown up in your face time and time again? You “feel” like your intuition is leading you down a certain path and then BOOM… the Universe hits you with a road block. So you go, “Hey shitty Road Block, I’m not gonna let you stop me, I’ll just bulldoze you over!” Or “Hey Road Block, you don’t fool me, I’m just gonna walk aaaaaalll the way around you!”
Only to be met by, you guessed it, another road block.
I can’t tell you how many times this has happened to me.
A million billion times.
And it is only looking back with hindsight that we can clearly see what was leading us there and why we were pushing so hard to create an outcome.
Hindsight is a fascinating thing.
-
understanding of a situation or event only after it has happened or developed.
“with hindsight, I should never have gone”
They say hindsight is 20/20, but why is that? Why can we not trust our intuition and instinct in the moment? What is it that is clouding our judgement so much that we refuse to see or can’t see that the path forward is just not meant for us?
There are several reasons why we may not listen to our intuition and therefore miss the path laid out before us:
- Lack of Trust: Some people may not trust their intuition and rely more on logic and rational thought. They may feel that their intuition is unreliable or that it cannot be trusted.
- Fear of Making Mistakes: Fear of making mistakes can prevent people from listening to their intuition. They may worry that following their intuition may lead to negative consequences, so they prefer to rely on more objective measures.
- Social Conditioning: Society often places more value on logic and rational thought than on intuition. As a result, some people may have been conditioned to ignore their intuition and to rely solely on objective measures.
- Overthinking: Overthinking and analyzing situations can also prevent people from listening to their intuition. They may become so caught up in analyzing the situation that they ignore their inner voice.
- Lack of Practice: Listening to intuition requires practice, and some people may not have developed the skill to do so effectively. With practice, however, people can learn to recognize and trust their intuition more readily.
As a result, if you believe in this sort of thing, The Universe or your higher self needs to – at times – create extremely strong and loud road blocks in our way in an effort to steer us in the right direction.
So, what do you do then when you get the sense that the Universe is saying “no” about a current situation in your life?
Well, you can stop all efforts and just WAIT and do nothing. See what comes up from that quiet of lack of motion. Sometimes when we take a pause that is enough to allow the answer to bubble to the surface. Or, you could get a reading of some kind or therapy. Either of these options allow a third party to help you – using tools like the tarot – to circumvent your logical brain and the inner critic and the ego to tap into the clear powerful voice of your own Wise Mind. You could also use what I like to call Deep Listening which you can read all about in a previous blog post HERE. Or you can simply plough ahead and see what happens. Sometimes it might work out, sometimes not, I have been known to pick this option on a number of occasions.
When to really stop all of the presses, though, and understand that The Universe or whatever that force is is indeed trying to stop you and steer you in another direction:
- Injury or illness – if your body is suddenly not well, even back pain or headaches, it is time for you to pay attention to where you are at in your life. Myself I pivot to the thing that feels most in alignment and pay attention to my body signals.
- People you love are reflecting back to you that you are “not happy” or “seem very stressed” – if you have people in your life that you love and trust they, at times, will have a better insight into your well being than you do. Pay attention when you hear people you trust in your life start to tell you they are worried about you.
- Other things keep pulling at you – those times when road blocks are happening over and over, pay attention to the things – sometimes one thing – that keep tugging at you persistently. It could be a nagging feeling or a “gut feeling” that keeps coming up. This is your intuition and “The Universe” trying to talk to you!
- Conflicts in your relationships – this one is a bit more nuanced but never-the-less no less powerful. When we are dragging ourselves down the wrong road the toll this can take on our psyche and very being has a direct affect on those around us. If you are generally unhappy because you can’t make a thing happen, it might not be your thing.
- Noticing feelings of envy or jealousy of others – another nuanced one but if you are moving down the wrong path and someone you know is moving down a different one and you start to think, “Dang it! I WANNA GO DOWN THAT PATH!” Then that is a HUGE HINT that that path is more in alignment with you and where you should be going.
All in all we all have experienced when we feel like The Universe is deliberately f-ing with us and foiling our plans at every turn, but like that Garth Brooks song says, “Thank God for unanswered prayers” because sometimes things are not meant for you, no matter how badly we think we want them.
If you are struggling with this in your life at all right now or in the future I can help! Reach out to inquire about readings or coaching with me and we can help you get clarity about your path together. One of the quickest ways to get answers on if a path is a yay or nay is a tarot reading or a coaching series so you don’t have to waste one more second of your precious life bulldozing road blocks out of the way down a path that was never meant for you.
And a final message from a colleague of mine, if things aren’t going your way try to remember this:
“Not rejected – redirected.”
LOVE. THIS.

Mystified by how to learn to read the tarot?
Are you fascinated with tarot cards but have no idea where to start? I mean, how the heck are you supposed to memorize the meanings of 78 cards and the endless combinations in spreads anyway?
You’ve had your deck since your were a teenager. You used to pull them out at sleepovers and giggle over the meanings you would read in the little booklet that came in the box. It was all fun and games, but there was a part of you that knew that there was much more to these mysterious and ancient cards, but you could never quite put your finger on it.
Then you put them in a junk drawer for ten years.
Once in awhile you would remember they were there and take them out, dust them off, and maybe even shuffle them. You may have even done a little three card spread and looked up the meanings in a book.
And it was pretty bang on. But still, there seemed to be a key missing.
I get it. This was me too! I knew that “reading” the cards was not the same as “reading” the meanings in a book card by card. Oh sure, there was always that audible gasp like, “Holy crap! Yes! That is ME!” But I never really felt like I was using tarot cards in the way I knew they could be used. So, I started to dive deeper and began to really study, and do readings for myself every single day. For years.
And then it started happening.
The cards started to “speak to me”. I know, f-ing nuts, right? But it’s true! After twenty years of reading tarot I can safely say that I have developed some unique ways of learning the cards and how to actually read a spread… without using a book. And you can too!

I don’t know about you, but for years and years and YEARS, I would pull out my dusty deck of tarot cards out of my drawer, and get all excited. I would take out my Learning the Tarot book by Joan Bunning, and I would sit down to learn how to read these god damn cards once and for all.
And thirty minutes later be all like, “GAH! IT’S SO HARD! What the F do these stupid f-ing cards mean anyhow?!!!”
No really, it was rough.
I would then toss my deck back into said drawer, and forget about them. I knew that I was missing a huge piece of the tarot puzzle. There had got to be a way to connect the cards somehow, to make sense of a spread, to actually… you know.. do a reading. But I had yet to get anything to click, and it was driving me nuts.
Fast forward a few years when I stumbled across a technique that changed my tarot reading angst forever, it’s one of many things I teach in my upcoming beginner’s tarot class Dabbler To Diva, but right now I’m going to share that technique you.
Have you ever read a children’s book? Like a Berenstein Bears or some other picture book with illustrations on one page, and words on the other page? Well, you can do the EXACT SAME THING with tarot cards.
No, really, stay with me here.
You can tell a little story using the images on the cards, and guess what? This is actually a very powerful way to access your intuition and get some bomb diggity insight into a situation!
Let me show you what I mean.
Let’s say you are having problems with your hubs, like he is not listening to you, or you are feeling unhappy but can’t put your finger on it. You have been unhappy for AWHILE, and you just don’t really know why. He’s a great guy, a good father and husband, but there’s just something. And you decide to pull a couple of cards to help uncover what that could possibly be. (This is exactly what happens in a reading, by the way, we work with the cards to help uncover exactly this kind of thing.. but I digress). So, you pull these two cards and put them side-by-side like this:
And then all you do is put yourself or the person asking the question as the central character in this “story”:
You are grieving something you have lost, perhaps a way of life, or a light hearted way with your husband. You feel that you have lost some of your feelings, and are focusing far too much on what is missing or gone, as opposed to what is still left standing. Focusing on the negative in your relationship (the spilled cups) and not lifting your head and focusing on your many blessings, is what is contributing to this feeling of unhappiness. The Ace of Cups is literally your cup runneth over with love and many many blessings. Turning around and focusing on what you have, will lead to MORE gratitude and love and positive feelings!
See?
Easy peasy……
Try it for yourself! Think of a situation and flip a card over, and just use the image like an illustration of a story and give it a whirl! Comment below how it went!
