New Moon Reading July 2025
Read with all the Oracle decks paired with the Tarot deck. One card from each.

Cards:
Reed - Direct action. You are capable of finding order where others only find chaos. Your results are as sure as the intentions with which you started.

Gorse - Fertility wakes a fire in the mind. The richness of human imagination awakens a fire in the mind. Listen to your creative instincts, and tend the fertile garden of your imagination.

Lady's Mantle - Treasure the small things in life, because it is in the detail that a life grows rich, and every person, every subject, every event, grows richer the more we focus upon it.

Wren - Glimpse the beauty in all things. "Small is beautiful" and that self-realization lies not in grandiosity or apparent power, but in humility, gentleness and subtlety.

Truth - You are called upon to understand your own truth and to speak it clearly. No matter how strange it may seem, your truth is the music of your brave heart. Offer it to the world. Wear Amazonite and keep an image of Foxglove near for speaking truth and expressing feelings.

Death - It is a time of transformation, a total change of attitude, the death of the old. Be reminded that all things have their season. Take courage, for in surrendering to death, in time you will be blessed with extraordinary new life.

Sacred Union - It is now a good time for bringing hopes, dreams and aspirations to fruition. Be joyful and open your heart. Celebrate vitality and love in all its forms, whether it be friendship, romance or new passions.

Ace of Vessels - The Waters of Life - Gather your emotional energies and keep them in balance for healthy, creative and loving interaction with all of Nature, including the sometimes irrational and destructive energies of humankind.

Crystals:
Rhodonite for focusing on creating positive feelings for yourself. Rainbow Moonstone for overcoming negative thought patterns or self-limiting beliefs that may creep into your head during the intention-setting process. Black Moonstone for creating a quiet mental space for you to turn your attention inward and determine what is most needed in your life. Golden Tiger's Eye for helping you get laser-focused on your intention-setting process.

Rhodochrosite for tuning into the wavelength of love and compassion. Clear Quartz for mental clarity. Pyrite for encouraging you to be independent and self-reliant this week. Peach Moonstone for solitude and quiet moments.

I've decided I'm no longer keeping any Starseed/Lightworker type decks. It's a type of religion/practice that doesn't speak to me.

Independence Day Reading
(Waxing Gibbous Moon)

Cards:
Justice - perhaps the only justice needed right now is justice to yourself. The Law of Nature is stepping in to serve justice and help you find balance today. This may be between work and play, relationships and responsibilities, etc.

Transformation - Sometimes a change of habit is enough. Other times only a complete transformation will do. It is time to gain a fuller understanding of your soul's purpose and that will require transformation, a rearranging of your world-view and practices that bring your actions in line with your ideals. Nature is here to help bring you into balance.

Keep a picture of, or a real piece of, mullein to bring awareness and light to consciousness and understanding of one's higher purpose.
Wear Amethyst to aid in transformation.

Crystals:
Blue Lace Agate for hope and joy in celebrating the small steps you've taken toward creating a happier life. Citrine for manifesting and turn things over to the Universe and let the energy of the Cosmos take it from here. Coffee Moonstone to help you relax and appreciate the calm moments leading up to the full moon. Snowflake Obsidian is about balance and taking time to appreciate the balance between intense action and a period of rest.

Went on Hero Forge and designed my PF2e (Pathfinder 2e) Stone Order Druid. She's a Gnome with the Oread (Earth elemental) heritage. Her hair is metallic silver, skin like crystal and eyes/lips the color of amethysts. She's also a medic, so a good healer.

First Quarter Moon Reading

Connection to nature is required of you. You must take responsibility for your actions. Face the coming week with honesty and integrity and trust to right and appropriate action. The concepts of forgiveness and reward are not appropriate here. One reaps what one has sown. Balance will be maintained by nature. The justice it dispenses is long-lasting, and it is both merciful and irrevocable in its final conclusions. Resolve any conflict or conclusion that is troubling you to become receptive to creativity or inspiration.

Redemption is on the horizon. It's also possible someone or something you thought you had lost forever will return to you. Pay attention to the physical realm, and be aware of the effects generated by everything you do. Use careful consideration and avoid a lack of forethought as it can hamper your forward passage to redemption. When you let go, or even forget a situation or relationship, it has a chance to grow. It takes skill to know when to pay attention to something and when to leave it alone.

Crystals: Rose Quartz for getting honest with yourself about the people and things that are holding you back from reaching your true potential. White Moonstone for reinforcing the progress you've made since the new moon. Angelite for clear communication while you're shedding old patterns and beliefs. Carnelian for keeping yourself motivated and on track with your goals.
