This three-card reading reveals the energy unfolding in this lunar cycle. Together, they show the bigger picture and theme for this period — how we are learning to “lean in” to deeper trust and faith.
The key lesson we’re learning in this lunar cycle under the theme “Lean In” is shown through the card “The Moorland.” This is a time to contemplate and examine if we are living according to other people and society’s expectations, or if we are acting in alignment with our soul’s intention. There is no right or wrong here, and this is not the time to harshly criticize or judge ourselves. Instead, it is an invitation to look deeply at what it means to live as your authentic self.
This process begins with knowing your own worth and understanding what you truly want. It’s easy to know what we don’t want — we don’t want stress, struggles, toxic environments, or feeling stuck and stagnant.
But do you know what you do want?
Do you know what it is that you want to feel?
Ask yourself this simple question and use the answer as the foundation for setting your intention. Setting an intention is one of the most potent yet simple spiritual practices there is. It’s different from setting a goal or an expectation.
When we set an intention, we’re giving direction to how we want to live our lives. Instead of trying to control every single variable so that life unfolds exactly as our mind expects (because this is where stress comes in), this is the moment to lean into the Universe — or whatever you call the bigger presence that surrounds us all.
This is when we begin to experience being “in the flow,” as shown in the second card. Once we break free from expectations — whether from others or our own minds — that’s when the magic happens. This is true surrender to the Universe. We set our intention, then allow the Universe to reveal the how by leaning into our intuition and acting upon the guidance we receive.
In order to live in alignment with our soul’s guidance, it means that we are also leaning into and believing in the part of us within ourselves that has the strength, the wisdom, the resilience and willpower to carry out the action. Once we do so, we find that amazing synchronicities and miracles can happen.
As we experience what it feels like to be “in the flow,” the gift is revealed in the third card — “The Holy Grail.” The holy grail is not something external that we must search for; rather it is an inner quest. When we stop looking outside for an answer to our happiness, and remember that within us we already hold the key to all answers, we reclaim our power.
Reclaiming our power means we are less affected by the negative news, chaos, fear, and anxiety that are going around the world right now. We are no longer living in a program designed by others for us, rather we are now co-creating a new path that aligns with our soul’s purpose and allows us to live out our highest potential.
The sacred self-care card for this lunar cycle is “Beauty Ritual”. When we stop seeking for validation, approval, worth, and love outside of ourselves, we begin to live as the beautiful beings we truly are — inside and out. This card invites you to express your own beauty in a sacred, intentional way.
If you love putting on makeup, remember the intention of doing so. Is it to please others or to fit into society’s expectations? Is it because you feel you’re not beautiful enough and want to cover up your face? Or is it because you genuinely enjoy the process and feel good doing it?
Think about the message you’re sending to your body and the self-talk behind your actions. Are you doing it because you feel good or guided to do so, or because a part of you still screams, “I’m not good enough”?
In my dream one night, I entered a room and wrote the words “just gotta have faith” on a blue piece of paper with a gold marker. I realized I had written those words before but they were a bit faded in the background. I feel this perfectly captures the key message of this lunar cycle — we are constantly reminded that we “just gotta have faith.”
When we lean into our soul and the Divine for trust and support, we discover that the holy grail has always been within us.
I lean into the part within myself that has the strength to do so.
I recognize that my interpretation of the cards is largely based on reflections of my personal life experience and you may or may not resonate with what I share. I find that sometimes by sharing what’s going on in my life, others may find that they are going through something similar in their lives. It’s important to know that you are not going through this journey of life alone.
I highly encourage you to look at the cards as well and feel into the messages and energies of the cards yourself.
Read the messages and notice what sensations come up. Do you feel light or tense? Look at the images of the cards, and notice what draws your gaze. What thoughts and feelings arise? Do you like or dislike the card, or certain elements in the image of the card? Why is that and what does it remind you of?
Your intuition is your inner compass. My oracle card reading only serves as a reference point, an invitation for you to reflect and ponder and to work your magic. I don’t claim to predict the future, nor can I do that. Take what you resonate and leave what you don’t.
Card reading is a great intuitive tool for us to find some clarity and guidance in our own life, but remember ultimately you are the one who get to decide and live the life you want.
