wolf moon thoughts + tarot spread

hey there.

happy almost full moon! the first full moon of the year always feels special, regardless of the astrological specifics. this week’s full moon, happening on the 25th is in leo. there’s something spicy about this moon being called the ‘wolf’ moon and it also being in the sign of the lion. it has an underlying fierceness to it. it’s like, “look at me, pay attention. i’m here, and i’m not going anywhere” and i dig that energy. now, how you experience this energy is going to depend on what house leo is in for you and everything else goin on in your natal chart. leo is in my 10th house, which means i’m thinking a lot about recognition, and the ways in which i need to take up more space. this is what inspired the tarot spread i want to share with you.

before i get to the spread, i want to just say that full moons always have a way of wiping me out. i really wish they didn’t. i wish i had the capacity and stamina to do all of the lunar workings and be the ultimate witch™️ every full moon but i don’t. if you don’t, i hope you know that’s ok. just meet yourself where you’re at and create a ritual that’s supportive of wherever that is. or don’t. you can also do nothing and just admire the full moon. that can be it’s own ritual, ya know?

if you have the energy to pull some cards, i hope you’ll try this spread out:

i was going to write some more paragraphs here, and talk about recognition and creativity.. but.. i’m honoring what i said above. i don’t have the energy. it’s not even the full moon yet, but i’m already feeling it. this is a subject i’d like to dive into a little bit, so i might do so in a future blog post this week. maybe i’ll post my own card pulls for this spread and talk you through it.

if you tried this spread, i would absolutely love to see what cards you pulled, and what you thought of it! dm me or tag me in your pics on instagram @ astral.sludge!

ok. that’s all from me right now. i hope you have a special full moon.
