It\u2019s that time again.\u00a0 I haven\u2019t done (or have done, but haven\u2019t actually spent any time with) my full moon readings since the last time I posted here.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s 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.\u00a0 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.<\/p>\n

There haven’t been many surprises in this reading \u2013 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.<\/font><\/p>\n

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.<\/font><\/p>\n

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 \u2013 QS in my water trine, KnC in my air ; the AS and AC in my fire \u2013 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.<\/font><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
