New Moon Reading July 2012 (Updated)

Because I was out of country last month, I skipped my new Moon reading. This time the Moon is in my 12th house, a time for inner reflection.

Here is the spread for what is coming up till next new moon

New Moon July 2012

The theme or focus is a relationship or a contract. The trigger is Coffin. An ending or a worry is making me concerned about a particular connection or a contract.
This is not happy sign at all.

The four corners give us a concern or issue:
Coffin - Anchor tells there is a pain or an ending related to work. I take Anchor as daily routine because I don't have a job. The daily grind is becoming painful. Whip-Snake is an eloquent man. This person is some one who is making things tough for me. There is a persistent pain or worry related to complicated discussions  between a man and a woman. I guess it can be between me and the project partner or it can be me and this really important romantic interest.

What will happen:
Ship - Lilies - Ring - Moon - Clouds I see a movement and a change with this man and this relationship which is more based on strong attraction and thing will clear up soon. The Clouds card is important because the lighter side of Clouds towards Moon shows feelings will soon be clear enough. Ring-Moon and Ring-Lilies shows a strong sexual attraction. The Clouds can be an ex- coming back in the picture. I feel there is a change or problem coming up involving another man.
Lilies as person card is usually an important male in querent's life and Clouds is usually an ex male. The presence of Snake card adds to this, it is practically a love triangle, where Snake is the lady between King of Spades and King of Clouds.

Columns and Diagonals:
Past: Coffin - Lilies - Snake
There has been a short term problem or an ending because of a man and a woman because there was an upheaval between them. Lilies-Snake can be upheaval.

Present: Ship - Ring - Clouds
The change or the movement involved in the relationship/contract is seeing rough times right now. The direction is not clear.I can assign this to contract as well since I'm having no clear answer from the developer.

Future: Whip - Moon - Anchor
There will be some discussions at night which will put things back to stability. We can say there will be success because Anchor is the final card and the Moon and Ring add stability to this card even though the Clouds add a certain level of ambiguity.Whip + Moon can be emotional discussions and Moon - Anchor is stable emotions.

There are two 10s in this reading which means a change of scene or holiday, yes after my exams I am having free time on my own and Two Kings show agreement or favour. I'm looking forward to that.

Good luck to everyone for the new Moon!

Full Moon Update:

The things which start at new moon see their peak during full moon. The things started getting too rough in both terms of an important connection and a software contract I had. The men involved in both situation were acting shaky (Lilies and Clouds with Snake). I have had my fair share of troubles during first two weeks of the new moon and now things have started to settle down. I have already discussed the matter with both men involved in the two situations represented by same card 25-RING in this reading. There have been some serious discussion, some even got heated up (11-WHIP&Rod) but I see stability within next week of this full moon.

Update on Next new moon:

Ok The Whip came in as a heated discussion I had with the developer. He was fixed that I don't get his point and I was fixed that I just want him to fulfil his part of the deal & I don't care about rest of stuff. Things are pretty stable now (Anchor) but there are still unclear situation and uncertainty (Moon-Clouds). My reputation is still at stake.

New Moon in Gemini Reading (Updated)

We had a Solar Eclipse with the New Moon in Gemini on 20th of this month. The New Moon was at 0 degrees Gemini I pulled two sabian Symbols for last week and this week, both in Gemini. This New Moon, energized with the Solar eclipse was in my 9th house of higher education, travel and foreign matters. I am expecting to make some travel plans this month, and I hope that it happens just as I want it but nothing has been confirmed yet. The New Moon reading says the following.

New Moon in Gemini 2012

The First card usually expresses your thoughts at the moment. The 27-LETTER shows that I have been anticipating a news which I am. The Clouds and Bear around it shows that the news is expected to clear up some doubts and provide me with the strength which I need. The Mountain however, is blocking the news.

This was right since its been five days now and the expected news has not yet arrived.

The Mountain in the middle will cause delays. The central card anchors the reading and this time the anchor is the Mountain which is card of obstacles and delays.

Past: Letter - Clouds - Garden
There have been anticipated a news which is causing trouble, confusion among me and my peers.

Present: Bear - Mountain - Scythe
A lot of power and strength is required to get over the mountain and make a quick decision.

Future: Roads - Child - Key
A decision promises a fresh beginning and new start.

Rows:
Letter - Bear - Roads = A news about someone strong and protective is making me make a choice
Clouds - Mountain - Child  = I have no idea how to get to the other side of the mountain where my new start is awaiting me.
 Garden - Scythe - Key = a cancelled event, cutting back from socialising will bring some solutions, answers.

Diagonals: Letter - Mountain - Key
The delayed information will arrive, but after a while.

Roads - Mountain - Garden
The decision is tough one to make but it will bring joy.

Letter - Child - Garden
A news about a gathering involving young children.

Roads - Clouds - Key
The uncertain options are making the answers unclear. No options, no answers, no certainties.

Letter - Roads + Scythe
a news about parting ways will come up unexpectedly.

Garden -Key + Bear
some event is definitely happening and it will bring security, strength and power.

Update June 3, 2012
Delays have been in everything I'm doing. The email I sent to my instructor which included my almost completed project was not delivered and I got late by two freaking days. (Letter-Mountain)


The longer it takes the Letter to get past the Mountain, the longer my confusions will stay (Clouds) because I need the instructor to have a look at my developed project and let me know if he needs any modifications. There is so much going on and its not going on like it should rather too slow. I have been facing delays in everything. The energy of the Mountain is risen really high around the Full Moon coming on June 4. 


I also had some data copied from the Uni lab into my flash drive and after an hour and half, when I came back home and checked it, there was NOTHING in the flash drive. The quicker I need the data, the more delays  faced. Turned out Uni was closed for the weekend. Further delays. I'm feeling even more crabbier now (Bear-Mountain). 

Another Dream interpretation reading

I had another disturbing dream last night which is keeping upset even after waking up and trying to forge it. This dream had one main character who was a friend in high school and he had a crush on me. I on the other hand was more interested in his friend. So after many years we came in touch last year when he invited me to his wedding and he was insisting that I must come. I was happy for him. In my dream things were different. I had joined high school again to improve my grades (which I have always wanted) and this time he was the teacher (wow) besides that there were two more people in that dream, my high school boyfriend, and the guy I was with few months ago.Both appeared for very short time . So my past was kind of theme. 

Q: What did this dream mean to tell me?

dream interpretation

Row 1: What was the Dream about:

The theme was my relationships, and them too romantic ones, from past. The Key indicates there were some important lessons in this dream about love and relationships. Ring is the first card which represents your current thoughts, so yes I was wondering all morning, if he still thinks about me. My best friend(our mutual friend too) says he does, although he is married now and has a kid.

Row 2: What the dream symbols mean:

Rider + Lilies = a man of foreign origin. Rider+Lilies has represented one of the guys from the dream. He is older and wiser than me and it was more like a Ring+Lilies relationship. The Stars symbolise new path, guidance and hopes. I believe someone will come towards me, who can bring me some guidance and hope.

Row 3: How the dream affects my waking life:

Snake - Storks - Man

There are complications which will resolve and a change is needed regarding a man. 

Columns: Past: Ring - Rider - Snake

There has been a relationship which ended badly.

Present: Key - Lilies - Storks

A definite help for moving on once the key lessons have been learnt.

Future: Heart - Stars - Man

new love, with a new man.

Corners:

Ring + Man + Heart + Snake

This is a man who is bound in a relationship , which makes our love life complicated.

I know who this is about. 

Central Cross:

Key + Rider + Stars + Storks

There is sure arrival of some guidance, hope and a change.

Diagonals: Ring + Heart with Storks a definite change in love and relationships

Snake + Man and Key , a Man with a lady or a man who is complicated or troublesome, will prove helpful.

Over all what I gather from this spread is that there is going to be a change in my life which involves a man. The cards which touch this Man are new (Stars , Lilies, Storks) I have no idea who he is. 

"When" question using 3x3 - Updated

I have found this spread precise, to the point and expansive than a linear spread of 9 cards. I would rather have dealt a 5-cards linear spread for "when" question but I wanted some extra details too. Therefore I used 3x3 spread.

This question/Reading is from journal dated April 19th 2012:

The question relates to the bad depressing time I'm having recently. I am not a person who would like being hopeless, drained, depressed and drowned but this time the situation does not looked quite favourable.

Q: When will this period of depression end?

 No card pre-selected

3x3 for when question

I did not choose the 29-Lady card for this but it fell in the central theme position. It looks like its entirely up to me when I want to end this period of depression and all along I was sure that it was not up to me. 

First card usually tells your current thoughts:

 Heart, oh how I so feel deprived of love and affection for myself these days. 

Columns:

Past: In the past I have had some great time, some thing nice and warm and also excitement. I was very excited for my birthday actually which was ruined by the way.

Present: Mice - Lady - Letter

Imagine how I'm being eaten up in my head, how worries are nagging at me, and I'm anticipating for some news, a ray of hope, anything to come my way. Basically I'm desperately hoping for a news about a change in the situation.

Future: Looks like a negative message or some shocking message is coming my way which will then bring a change after a brief period of this depression.

Rows:

First row: I do feel deprived of love and affection these days and I'm hoping for a news, anything that will make my day.

Second row: The pleasures and joys of the past have been over. I feel really drained of all the energy I have.

Third row: I'm anxious about a news, anything that will bring a change (Storks) in my situation.

Diagonals:

Heart - Lady - Storks = I' d love a change, which seems to be coming in future

Rider - Lady - Birds = I'm anxious and worried about whatever is happening so fast.

Rider - Flowers - Storks = A good news will bring a change

Heart - Coffin - Birds = A heartache followed by some release of emotions through communication with someone. 

Heart - Letter - Rider = A heart to heart correspondence with someone, may be a man.

Birds - Mice-Storks= Stop worrying and change will happen.

The good news is that Storks is the last card which assures that a change in situation is predicted in future.

The When part can be answered by the central row.

Coffin is the pain which is short-lived. It would have been dreadful if I had seen Cross there.

Flowers are what live for short time. They die fast.

Lady is me, so lots of it already depends on me.

Conclusion:

I concluded from this reading that this period is short-lived, may be 9-10 days on the most, Rider is fast card , Mice is fast card, Coffin and Flowers are short-lived and Change (Storks) is just right around the corner.

Update:

I have a confession to make, when my bad time started, I pulled out Rider for that day. When the bad time ended I pulled Storks on that day, sometimes you can tell when a change happens in situation and the cards say so for that daily draw. During the time when I was going through the depressing phase, I was constantly pulling Cross, so so so many times. Then finally I pulled Cross+Coffin and I knew its over now.I now can safely say that today on April 26,2012 things are a lot better. What helped me the most is heart to heart talk with a friend of mine and then some self-analysis. Some pains are short-lived but they leave their impacts for a long-time. 

Blessings for everyone!

New Moon in Taurus

Another month has passed. On every new moon I will do a new reading for what this new moon shall bring me over the next lunar month. Moon card is one card which is most difficult for me to nail in the readings. The Moon can be so many things at the same time. Last time I pulled out 9 cards in line of nine and overwhelmed myself. I should stick to lesser number of cards but in my opinion 5 cards are too less for a period of one month, talk about being under-whelmed.

This new moon I decided to pull a box of nine, instead of a linear spread.
This New Moon is in Taurus, time to relax, have fun in the green grounds, enjoy good food, actually enjoy everything big.
So I pulled myself these cards this new moon:

Did I say have fun in green grounds? Why do I have Cross next to Garden then? and wait, didn't I mention Moon was the card I cannot nail easily, then why is it next to Cross? Talk about fate!

The First card usually tells whats on your mind, Garden, people, parties, parks, social gathering oh this is what I want right now, remember the fun in the green grounds? There is Cross lying next to it which means there is no socialising, and even if there is, atleast its not to make me happy.

Rows:

Garden + Cross+Moon = An event which is not so pleasant , will bring me the recognition meant for me.
Ship + Flowers+House = A pleasant trip with family, A gift from far away arrives at home.
Heart + Clouds + Dog = Affection for a friend is not easy to convey, unable to love a trustful person.

Update: No trip with family but been pleasantly planning one. I had this one dinner where things were not very pleasant for me. 
The last line was the truest. This month I got re-connected with a friend and it was just not easy to be sure about my own feelings about him. The Clouds ,however, did not stay the longest.


Update May 23, 2012
A gift from far away actually arrived and I was happiest.

Columns:

Garden + Ship + Heart

Socialising with a person from foreign lands who is coming closer. The Ship sometimes represents physical distance as well. I have a friend actually who lives in another state, but we are getting closer with time.

Cross + Flowers + Clouds

Right now I'm going through the times when the Cross period is getting over and there is little happiness coming out of blue (lighter side of Clouds towards Flowers). Although I'm not completely sure what the Flowers is signifying, but I'm happier than I have been over last few weeks.

Moon + House + Dog

This looks like the relationship with family is becoming better, which is a good news. There is more trust, friendship and love for them or from them either way is a good news. Moon+House also tells me I will be having better success at home than last month which was a mess.

Update:
Socializing with this person from a foreign place, this was also true. 
I got a surprise this month, which actually knocked me off my own firm feet but I was still not sure if I wanted it at all. (lowers + Clouds).
The relationship with family INDEED improved a LOT. I'm a lot happier than last month.

Diagonals:

Garden + Flower + Dog

This looks like a meet up with a female friend or meeting some new friend in a park or garden.

Moon + Flower + Heart

a date night? Well I have had Flowers +Heart before and it usually results in being asked out.

Moon + Ship + Dog :

This looks like self-awareness will bring trust or a friend needs some dig in himself.

Garden + House + Heart

Fun time yay.

Garden + Clouds + Moon

A cancelled event which clouds my mood.

Heart + Cross + Dog

Things seem like getting bad between me and a friend.

Update; Did not meet up any good friend, but found an old friend on facebook and re-connected. 
I did not get asked out :( *LOL).
Don't I just love myself. This month I actually had some self-realizations, which resulted in me ending up trusting two people I was darn sure I could never trust. I'm positive about one, while I still have doubts about the one who is handling the modules for my project.
The cancelled event was one. A turn off indeed.
Things did get bad between us, they always do, but everything is under control now.

Combinations of Flowers with rest of cards:

The central card number 5 is always the important one, here it tells me next lunar month will bring me some joy and happiness.

Flowers + Garden: joyous event, happiness, contentment, invitation to an event

Flowers + Cross = negative invitation, the happiness comes with a price

Flowers + Moon = romantic present/invitation

Flowers + Ship = a gift from abroad

Flowers + House = happiness at home, gift from family members

Flowers + Heart = token of love

Flowers + Clouds = happiness is not completely satisfactory, uncertain joy

Flowers + Dog = friendship offer, a friend gives a present

So this is it so far, there are good cards, there are bad cards (Cross and Clouds) but they are both in present column. Future looks good for this month. I'm relaxed!

Cheers, to new beginnings!

Update: I'm liking how the spread has picked up on the energy of this month. I got a gift from family. Friend has not given me any present yet, but we are on good terms after a span of about 6months.

General reading with 3x3

After I did those two readings with 3x3 spread, my friend wanted a general reading of his life.A snapshot of my situation is what I call it.

The most astonishing part is we first decided to take Heart out as pre-chosen significator, but then I decided otherwise and went along with a general. The Heart card has appeared in the centre, emphasizing that the cards are aware that current focus is love.


First card: Scythe
At the present moment he is thinking about getting rid of something, something that is no longer needed.He intends to make a decision and a rather quick one.

Lets look at Rows:
1: He intends to make a suddden decision of cutting back at his social life and bring about some changes that will bring improvement in his life.This is true because he thinks he spends too much time just socialising among people who serve him no good.

2: He is having some lovely chats with some one who is financially independent. The emotional side of Fish (water) also mixes well with the Heart card. His love life is sort of going nice, but a little anxiousness is there.

3: He is looking for a solution which unlocks his path and let him decide what he needs to do.

Columns: 
Past: He cut back with conversations with a really clever one. He thinks the conversations were too much fake and not what they seemed like.

Present: He is having lovely interactions with people which is making him realize some positive things about himself.

Future: A clear financial improvement. An increase of wealth through more than one alternative.

Diagonals: Scythe - Heart - Roads = A heartache made him separate paths.

Storks - Heart - Fox = Some changes in love life have made him cautious.

Scythe - Fish - Fox = Sudden sense of clarity. Cutting at the blurriness presented by water in Fish is cleared out and Fox is presenting logic and guarding up for self-interest.

Storks - Birds - Roads = Changes have made him nervous about what needs to be done, which option to choose. (notice the Twos in all three cards, two birds, two owls, two paths) faced with choices.

Scythe - Key - Storks = A sudden solution which brings changes.

Fox - Garden - Roads = Many treacheries and betrayals made him separate paths with someone.

Here in the situation we can see some positivity going on in present and improvements in future. The Queen and King of Diamond can be a couple so I do not look at Roads as a decision, instead its reaching a solution. It looks like a positive spread for future. Another thing I noticed was that he has two 8's (of spades and Diamonds) in present column: which means according to some authors, a brief affair which causes regrets and this is exactly true for him right now. Also 8 of Diamonds and several Person Cards (we have five here) means a social gathering. I think it will be in future.

 I wish him luck and happiness.

Another 3x3 practice question

This question is a sequence to this post.

Q: What does she need to do in order to have a stable, healthy, long-term relationship?

The other question dealt mainly with what is blocking the way. This question deals with the aspect of what needs to be done.Of course an effort is needed in both regards and remember, both are different aspects, not same.

The first card: hope, faith and new path. This is my wish card, it tells me that we should never give up wishing on the Stars because we never know which one might come true. This card tells that she needs to remain hopeful and keep wishing. Its the power of faith that is biggest of all other powers.

The central card, Child. She needs a new beginning. Sometimes we are so used to the patterns and routines in our life, we forget the essence of life is change. She needs to start it fresh. Again the Child-like belief in things will also boost up the energy.

Columns:
1:A huge power of faith and believe is needed, which will resolve the troubles she is in. It looks like her faith is being blocked because of the negative energy present around. Whip is the negative energy here which needs to end with Mountain/Cross. Whip can also be the aggression which of bottled up, results in depression.
2: The learning about working of karma and the working of power of faith will help her on the way. There is some learning involved. She can not get her wish until she learns that there are burdens which we all have to carry, and this is where the growth comes in.She needs to grow up/learn/mature spiritually.
3: The power of optimism, will eventually shine through the clouds, set backs and hindrances. She needs to be the sun, that one ray of hope which comes out of the Clouds will eventually get her going towards a change.

Rows:
1: One one side of book there is night, on the other side there is day. After every night there is a day. The extreme power of faith and hope is all that helps us learn about the true essence of life.
2: After she climbs the mountain, which can be a spiritual journey too, will come a fresh new beginning and improvements (Lighter side of clouds towards Child). The future right now is unclear, unless the fresh start happens.
3: Troubles/aggression/discussions end and a new change happens.The last line is quite hopeful.

Diagonals: 
Stars - Child - Ship ; An innocent belief in change and movement.

Sun - Child - Whip : The energy needs to be channelized to another fresh start (Whip is something done for second time).

Sun - Mountain- Ship: A move to foreign lands.

Stars - Clouds - Whip: Literally clear up the Confusions so that the stars can come out. She needs some mental clarity.

Summary: In this reading I can see that some major hindrances need to be overcome. There is strong requirement for patience, clarity, faith and hope. It looks like nothing in the material world is holding her back, its more related to her spiritual well-being. Her soul needs to be cleansed and be new before something can happen for her.

All my friends, please send some positive energy her way so that things can eventually work out in her favor.

Blessings!

More Practice with 3x3 spread

I did one with the Flower card appearing repeatedly for me and it worked just really good. I decided to another one for my friend. This time I won't be using any pre-chosen significator card, instead let the cards choose the central card as the most important aspect of the reading.

Q: What are the obstacles on my way to a serious relationship?
A:

The first card tells a lot about the thoughts at the moment. The Roads in this position tell me she is facing choices. She cannot make up her mind about what she needs to do or she simply has to move on, pick one, while she cannot decide which option (suitor) is better for her. The Clover shows there is hope, about more or better options which is stopping her from moving forward. This is where the trouble(Whip) is lying.

Lets look at the central card which is the focus, Moon. Moon card has been my favourite quite recently. This card represents many thing, illusion, intuition, feelings, emotions, romance, recognition, and above all our Feminine side. Now I understand why this card has appeared here. This friend of mine, is full of Mars energy. She is anything but feminine. This is where the problem lies. She is the man she wants to be with and this is where the problem lies. I think this is why the Roads are there in first position. She needs to get in touch with her feminine side and at the core of it she will realize who is good for her.

Lets look at the columns:
1: There is a decision which needs to be taken before a strong love bond can be established.
2: There is some psychic message or a message from the intuition which can be of help.
3: There is a need to straighten things out (Snake is twisted, Tower is something straight and clear).Whip can be discussions with mother or an independent woman who is someone with a "spine".

Rows:
1: If she makes a decision, she will find luck and a younger guy (Whip) may be. This can also be an indication of a tough luck or troubled luck or she can't make up her mind because she is not very hopeful about her luck.

2: She is not sure about her true feelings. Her heart is not comfortable because of the emotional ups and downs she is feeling.

3: This seems like a bond/contract with isolation.

Diagonals: 
Roads - Moon - Tower: The way to success is going by the books. There can be some illusions regarding the alternatives available, but she needs to see them high and clear. Moon and Tower both are about status in society, and recognition. She needs to make a decision before she can be "seen" romantically.

Whip - Moon - Ring : Breaking up from the illusions and bringing some midnight activities in her schedule will bring towards her some recognition and a strong binding relationship.

Whip - Heart - Tower: This looks like a break up which has pushed her into loneliness.

Roads - Snake - Ring : Clearly the road to a serious romance right now is very twisted.
She needs to work great deal on herself before anything can happen for her.

Summary: She needs to find her self-esteem, a woman who is independent (Snake-Tower) might be a great help. Besides that she needs to make up her mind (Roads). The love for isolations she has developed is what is actually the biggest hindrance in her serious relationship. If she can get over these three things, although it does not seem easy, she can get it on just fine.

09 - Flower/Bouquet

This card has started appearing for me since February started and it has been appearing in daily, weekly and every other reading I have done in last seven days. The Flowers card has following meanings according to my research:

1. Something short-lived (they die quickly)
2. An offer
3. A present
4. A charming friend/sister
5. A woman with a loss, divorced or widow (Queen of Spades)
6. The company, people you surround yourself with for entertainment.
7. Creativity, art, beauty

I took a sneak peek at my GT as to what its implying and why it is taking most of my focus?

The cards I get in my GT for February 2012 are:

Book -    Dog  -   Man
Key   - Flower - Clover
Road -  Coffin - Lady

This looks like an offer from a friend, someone I don't know about. Key and Clover tell me its a lucky and important offer. However, the Coffin puts an end to it or turns it in to a bad event, because of a choice which has to be made. Book tells me I know nothing about this offer yet. Dog + Flower can be a female friend who has suffered a loss (Coffin) and is feeling she has no way out (Roads+Coffin).

The Flowers is in house of Bear, Strength and Power, while in house of Flowers is Lilies, which suggests again its an offer from a very important man. The other cards are Man - Flower - Roads - Sun - Heart, this man makes multiple offers which bring further warmth to my heart or warm feelings.

I still have to find out what my friend has to offer but its continuously catching my eye and appearing for me again and again. The surrounding cards look nice and I have to wait and see how it manifest in the almost second week of February 2012 (The card is in house 15).

I did a reading to ask
Q: What/Who is this card trying to bring my attention to?
(Pre-chosen card = Flowers)

From my blog, one must have figured I don't read 3x3 spread because I never really get there is so much going on, but I wanted to give it a try with this question.

First the four corners: Fish+Sun could be emotional/financial success. Stars+Whip means music in my LWB.
This invite/offer/gift can be something related to financial success, and spiritual healing.

Tower+Man+Heart+Clover tells me this single/tall/lonely man is lucky in love.

The Man is a banker or financially independent (Fish+Tower) and is seductive (Whip+Clover).This also suggests the cheerful conversation we have had and still having(Whip+clover). Flower + Stars, Flowers+heart point to being asked out on a date and the Sun tells me it will be something very nice.

Looking forward to this ;)

Update: This was really something worth it. The minute this man stepped in my life, the Flowers card stopped appearing. This man became a friend out of blue. We met and we had this instant click. The GT and the 9-cards spread were very accurate. The friend was not known to me when I did the GT. He came in my life after the GT (probably second week of February). My idea about the second week was right. He is a financially independent and we have had really cheerful conversations. He asked me out for a date totally out of blue. He does things sort of pretty fast. He has been hitting on my really often (almost all the time) and my heart, I just feel like its actually warming up a little :)
I have not accepted the offer yet, but he doesn't seem like the one who will give up.
