New Moon Tarot Spread
New Moon
The new moon is the time in the lunar cycle when the moon moves conjunct the sun; the moon has moved into the same location as the sun in the cosmos. For that reason, whenever it is a new moon the sun and the moon are both in the same zodiac sign.
The sun is no longer illuminating the moon and she goes dark. This is the moons time to retreat, just like any other life cycle, we all must take time to regenerate and renew.
There are typically 12 new moons per calendar year, one in each of the zodiac signs. On occasion, you will get two within the same sign.

A beautiful ritual during the new moon is this four card tarot reading. Light a candle or use crystals in your space to set the energy. You can also use this suggested reading with oracle cards.
Take your time to shuffle the cards. This about the new moon and the lunar cycle while you do this to set intention. As you draw each card to place in its location, think of the specific question to that card.
Card 1: Where am I know?
Card 2: What can I release?
Card 3: What do I need to regenerate and renew this new moon?
Card 4: How can I manifest my desires?
Journal the cards that you pull so that as the lunar cycle progresses, you can refer back to your New Moon reading. Especially once you reach the Full Moon and you really want to focus the moon’s illumination into manifesting your intentions / desires, you can revisit card #4.
