Corn Moon Reading

It’s that time again. I haven’t done (or have done, but haven’t actually spent any time with) my full moon readings since the last time I posted here.

It’s appropriate, then, that this be my first post from the new Temple: a one-bedroom apartment where the sun first rises over the state of Indiana. I moved in the night before the full moon, and performed a simple Esbat and house blessing (which I will write about later), and did my monthly reading.

THEMES
Me / You – 1^st, 7^th	Ace of Swords		I really have no idea where this is going. “Focus on your self and let time take care of the rest”?
Me / You – 1^st, 7^th	8 Disks
From Where To Where – 4^th, 10^th	XXI the World		Neither of these cards come as a surprise this month. I just finished disassembling one life and must now begin building a new one.
From Where To Where – 4^th, 10^th	XVI the Tower
Fire – 1^st, 5^th, 9^th	Ace of Swords		Two aces – air and water. Another water card – the highly auspicious 3. But there are no fire cards in my fire trine. My passion is a hurricane, not a firestorm.
	Ace of Cups
	3 of Cups
Earth – 2^nd, 6^th, 10^th	3 Swords	Heartbreak, failure.	My material world has come apart and must be put back together. Nothing I didn’t already know.
	3 Disks	Craft and process.
	XVI the Tower	The shiny red reset button.
Air – 3^rd, 7^th, 11^th	Knight of Cups	Feelings and their expression.	My mind is going to be on everything but my mind this month. That’s something I’m going to have to be careful of.
	8 Disks	Patience and meticulous process.
	4 Wands	Completion and stability.
Water – 4^th, 8^th, 12^th	XXI the World		Again the major arcana speaking of completion and reconstruction. And again with the air-water connection.
	XX Judgment
	Queen of Swords	Discernment, brilliance

There haven’t been many surprises in this reading – well, except 8D, which might refer to my transforming relationship with Aradia (who has not moved to Sunrise, IN with me) or might refer to something new coming along much sooner than I would have expected or wanted.

There are only three major arcana cards in my reading, but they’re all doozies: XXI, XX, and XVI. I have pressed the shiny red reset button on my life.

Given the amount of upheaval in my life, it’s no surprise that my elements are out of balance. My air and water are cross wired – QS in my water trine, KnC in my air ; the AS and AC in my fire – and I have no wands except for the 4 in my air. I’m going to have to work very hard to keep from getting completely out of balance.
