New Moon Cancer Giger v Sumerian v Vibrational

This reading I did twice actually, once on Wednesday with the other readings thinking the new moon was Thursday, then today. I shall do both in this blog since they had some interesting comparisons.

1. Emotional Temperature- what your emotional health is during the new moon? 

2. Need to Nurture- how we can feed our souls during this moon cycle? 

3. Drop your Guard- this had been guarded for too long? 

4. Sideway Stride- what needs to be tackled head on and not side step around? 

5. Connections- How you can improve your relationships at this time? 

Saturday's Readings (on the new moon)

 Giger

1. Emotional Temperature- what your emotional health is during the new moon? The Empress

Personifies the living, nurturing side of the souls embedded in the depths of the goddess since the Great Mother (origin of all life). Under her influence you do not have any elevated ideals. You have all that you need to accomplish your goals within your Earthly means. 

For RWS, Empress is about pregnancy and the mother aspect of womanhood, interestingly enough I got this card in this same position on two days... I am on my menses both days, so definitely in touch with the cycle of women right now. 

2. Need to Nurture- how we can feed our souls during this moon cycle? The Devil

The Devil card in this deck is about using men as sex slaves to fulfill empty sexual desires.

I don't physically feel sexual desires, perhaps it is latent in my subconscious. 

3. Drop your Guard- this had been guarded for too long? The Moon

Moon supports a positive coordination between the emotions and the Will. Indicates inner exploration of your emotions in the aura of your surrounding world. It can be an indication you are losing yourself in your emotional swamps. It also symbolizes emotional needs arising from depths (answer to the Mystery of Life and outgrowths of unstilled longings).  

Guarding the emotional needs? Need to be more vulnerable? Yes I've been in hiding the past few months... Also am "on the moon," this is a moon card, and pulled on the super new moon... interesting coincide. 

4. Sideway Stride- what needs to be tackled head on and not side step around? The Chariot

Here reigns the carefree god of discord, who applies the force principle of the ego without heeding the losses caused by his aggressive and dynamic behavior. He ignites a firework of actions in order to seize the initiative. 

I think this is telling me to go head on into business. 

5. Connections- How you can improve your relationships at this time? The Magician

Personification of activity, self-realization, and the striving for power. She is easily excited by the prospect of adventure and exhibits an intense force. You know what you want and this enables you to achieve your goals. You have hundreds of ideas and want to achieve them all at once. 

Another card that seems to be screaming "go head ways into business ventures." Coupled with The Chariot's "seize the initiative," this one saying I have tons of ideas seems to be screaming "take the ideas and go!"

Sumerian

1. Emotional Temperature- what your emotional health is during the new moon? Ūmu Dabrūtu (Destruction)

This is the physical manifestation of storms within our plane as opposed to Ugallu. This temperament of Ūmu Dabrūtu is destructive, the tsunami or tornado that wipes cities from the map. 

Yes I've been a bit moody the past few weeks, but calm and happy today. Perhaps I'm in for more aggression? 

2. Need to Nurture- how we can feed our souls during this moon cycle? Ugallu (destruction)

This is a storm deity who electrifies practitioners with the power of storm to rain destruction down upon their enemies. 

Feed the soul by raining destruction down upon my enemies? Sounds fun... unless two storm deities are leaning towards there is an actual storm coming around LA. 

3. Drop your Guard- this had been guarded for too long? Kusarikku (guardian/protection)

This is Kusarikku's protection card. He is found among many temples, sometimes paired with Uridimmu or Girtablullȗ, as an guardian of the entrance. 

Protection is being guarded too long? I should take up arms and fight, but drop protection? eh? 

4. Sideway Stride- what needs to be tackled head on and not side step around? Bašmu (life cycle)

This is Bašmu's cosmic life cycle incarnation. He is the destroyer of worlds, of whole universes. He consumes the planets, stars, etc. then digests them into blood, which is then excreted for new life to be formed from it. 

Destruction and rebirth, rawr! 

5. Connections- How you can improve your relationships at this time? Lahmu (magickal warfare-protective)

Lahmu is a complex being I am going to be working with to expand into more cards. This is where he empowers the practitioner with lightning and teaches the strategy of magickal warfare for the practitioner's defense and reinforcement. 

Improving my relationships with others by being smart, strategic, and prepare to defend myself if necessary.

Vibrational Medicine

1. Emotional Temperature- what your emotional health is during the new moon? Listening (Resonance is reverse)

At first I noticed it was green, heart chakra and square for earth platonic solid. After a few weeks of combat and lock communication without feeling heard, perhaps I'm in a calmed state to listen now. Not only listen to the words of others, but listen to my body. The opposed word, Resonance, is interesting as I've felt myself vibrating with intensity for months and right now is no different. 

2. Need to Nurture- how we can feed our souls during this moon cycle? Healing (Marriage is reverse)

Another square, but this time more intense and on the solar plexus colour. Healing seems to be a common theme in the spreads the past few months. 

This card always hits me hard in the gut no matter the orientation or if in a positive or negative location in a spread. I should meditate on it. 

3. Drop your Guard- this had been guarded for too long? Time (Consistency is reverse) 

Time is guarded, with consistency in opposition. The image looks like a simplified atom, like health. Perhaps I am guarding what time I have left with my health or I'm guarding my time and health so hard I'm not allowing my healing. 

4. Sideway Stride- what needs to be tackled head on and not side step around? Seeing (Elements is reverse)

I need to tackle sight with elements hiding above. My emotional state the past year has kept me from my old elemental practice and stopped my spirit sight abilities. It should be time to get back to nature and regain my sight. 

5. Connections- How you can improve your relationships at this time? Eternity (Compassion is reverse)

Eternity seems to be telling me patience. Not to be exhausted with people, even if they are repeatedly making the same offense, for they are learning and growing. I will grow back into a place of compassion. 

 Wednesday's Readings (using the new moon spread, not on it)

I did these readings early when I did not realize the new moon was Saturday. I redid the reading on Sat because I wanted to get the super new moon energy in full for the forecast. These are the original ones for comparison.

Giger

1. Emotional Temperature- what your emotional health is during the new moon? The Empress

Personifies the living, nurturing side of the souls embedded in the depths of the goddess since the Great Mother (origin of all life). Under her influence you do not have any elevated ideals. You have all that you need to accomplish your goals within your Earthly means. 

2. Need to Nurture- how we can feed our souls during this moon cycle? Judgement

The future is rooted in patterns of the past; destiny is already within me. 

With my past, this is a scary card to see. Those patterns are not nice ones and if they are to feed my soul this moon cycle, I would prefer to sleep for two weeks. 

3. Drop your Guard- this had been guarded for too long? The Tower

Indicates a sudden shattering realization the shakes fixed ideals; you are unconsciously trying to go astray. If you accept that only things that have become rotten and superfluous can be destroyed, then you can recognize the liberation from things that have become old. Through loss and pain you can create space for new things.

I guard destruction? 

4. Sideway Stride- what needs to be tackled head on and not side step around? Alchemy

Alchemy signifies that your inner desires and your external experiences are harmonious with each other. The card refers to the subtle interplay of the soul and the environment, emphasizing direct action less than listening to the voice of inner feeling. -- also a deep aversion for conflict, will force your view of someone into how you want it to be instead of how they really are in order to avoid it. 

I need to tackle the fear of conflict. 

5. Connections- How you can improve your relationships at this time? Death

This card is said to confront you with the fears in your life, which can be so great that you lose yourself in the dark cellar of your depression. But from another side it can be showing you that the old superfluous forms of life can be transformed at this point. Just as the highest form of health is overcoming of disease, the highest of life is acceptance of death. As a result you will find yourself in harmony with the eternal creative life force. 

This card forces me to confront my deepest fears, which stem from the patterns of the past. So really the cards in 2, 4, and 5 all play off each other.

Sumerian

1. Emotional Temperature- what your emotional health is during the new moon? Mušmahhu (poisoning for protection)

This is one that needs drawn and meaning worked out. She grants use of astral poison for your protection, as well as immunization from the poison. 

2. Need to Nurture- how we can feed our souls during this moon cycle? Ugallu (storm for reinforcement) 

Ugallu electrifies the practitioner with the ability to use storm for their protection and fortification. 

3. Drop your Guard- this had been guarded for too long? Kulullȗ (death, entropy) 

This aspect of Kulullȗ is her in all of her death, wasting, and entropy glory. 

4. Sideway Stride- what needs to be tackled head on and not side step around? Girtablullȗ (enlightenment through pain/pleasure)

Girtablullȗ in this aspect is the epitome of body modification and manipulation; he is the essence of the Church of Body Modification and of BDSM when done for spiritual reasons. When the body is pushed to it's limits in pain during manipulation and modification, it releases the consciousness into the expanse of the Multiverse. You can see beyond the physical world into space-time and beyond. 

Maybe it's time for another session... 

5. Connections- How you can improve your relationships at this time? Lahmu (magickal warfare- protection) 

Lahmu is a complex being I am going to be working with to expand into more cards. This is where he empowers the practitioner with lightning and teaches the strategy of magickal warfare for the practitioner's defense and reinforcement.

Vibrational Medicine

1. Emotional Temperature- what your emotional health is during the new moon? Wisdom (Balance is reversed)

I am in a state of wisdom, maybe a bit imbalanced, but wise none-the-less. 

2. Need to Nurture- how we can feed our souls during this moon cycle? Movement (Flexibility is reversed)

Movement, ah yes it has been my enemy as of late while the more I moved the weaker and more inflexible I got. It seems that movement and I should get acquainted again, I so miss dance. 

3. Drop your Guard- this had been guarded for too long? Incorporation (Genetic Code is reversed)

Incorporation has been guarded for too long, yes I have been reluctant to join the collective of humanity. I can't seem to find a niche, let alone a tribe to join into so I made walls and played with my DNA on my own. 

4. Sideway Stride- what needs to be tackled head on and not side step around? Human Image (Cosmic Body is reversed) 

This strikes home in the level of body image. It is something that I've always struggled with as I've grown up brainwashed with a toxic image of myself, the family saying "if you're fat you don't deserve to be loved" and creating anorexia plus accompanying self-loathing. I have still to shake this when I look into the mirror. Perhaps another card to meditate upon. Maybe if I love my Self, and my body, the autoimmune diseases will start to calm down. 

5. Connections- How you can improve your relationships at this time? Androgyne (Integration is reversed) 

Androgyny is improving my relationships? I already don't care about male/female interactions when I look to friends. Maybe this is more about me being more androgynous or better integrating my selves vs leaning more to one side or the other?
