November 2017 Full Moon Tarot Reading

The Taurus full moon is upon us, and as is customary I have pulled cards to deliver to you a full moon message. This month I am using the Paulina Tarot by Paulina Cassidy. 

The cards I pulled for this occasion are The Hierophant, King of Pentacles, and The Chariot. 

The Hierophant implores you to seek wisdom and knowledge, and also to share the wisdom and knowledge that you have gained over the years. We are each of us both teacher and student. You can open yourself to divine guidance and wisdom at any time. If you need help, ask for it. If something is bothering you, talk to someone who can help. The Hierophant also asks, what grounds you? What is your foundation? What have you built your life upon, and how easily can you be uprooted? How well does what you value truly sustain you? 

The King of Pentacles nudges you to treat yourself. It is all too easy to fall into a miserly mindset both with ourselves and with others, even though a generous spirit gives and receives equally in joy. In honor of the Taurus moon it would benefit you to consider how you could make your life more comfortable in a physical way (Pentacles is related to the element of earth, so in a sense, the King of Pentacles is king of earthiness and sensuality). Pay more attention to your body, how you move, how you eat, whether or not what you wear makes you feel good, etc, and make changes where necessary. You are reminded that this life, this earth, this body is a gift and to make use of your senses, to delight in the bounty before you. 

The Chariot asks you to recognize the ways in which your desires and actions are at war. How can you shift the balance in your life so that you honor yourself while also doing right by others? It’s all too easy to get caught up in either end of the spectrum: people pleasing or complete selfishness. Fill your needs, but don’t forget to do what you can for others as well. The Chariot also sends the message that, if you’ve been going through a rough time lately, your determination will see you through. 

Bright Blessings! ���✨
