New Moon Monday {almost}
A message for your week ahead 🌈
Capricorn Born fam, hello from Minnesota!
I’ve been coming to you from O'ahu the last few weeks, and I’m back home again.
taking it all for granted
The internet might be one of the easiest things to take for granted in our culture these days, but traveling far always reignites my profound appreciation for being able to write to you from anywhere where there’s a signal.
Talk about magic.
I’m truly grateful and happy that I get to do this work.
What is something you can appreciate right now that you know you definitely take for granted?
Can you acknowledge it somehow? Give a prayer of thanks? Text that person? Say I love you to your body?
My aim with this weekly letter is to work with the cards and other tools to offer you a small slice of clarity, connection to your guides and intuition, and a little grounding to drop into as you step into another Gregorian-based Monday-Friday hustle.
I'll discuss that calendar stuff another time, but I have strong feelings that some people—not all—are not in their best alignment with our structured invention of the “workweek” calendar.
As always, do your best, and allow these Monday messages to shift your energy into a higher vibe or more introspective space.
new moon
The New Moon in Pisces was yesterday, so I’m carrying that energy into today’s letter.
New Moons are an excellent monthly reminder to plant seeds of intention. That might mean evaluating where you’re at and making a plan or goal toward something. It might mean embodying a new practice like smiling at strangers or saying a prayer over your food before you eat.
Whatever shape your seeds take, let this week’s message help guide you.

one
The Sun reversed & King of Pentacles
To release:
If you’re feeling a little foggy or low, this is a note that this soon shall pass. Additionally, if you’ve faced a time recently where your expectations were dashed, this too, is not permanent.
In either case, take a moment to connect with surrender and release what isn’t serving you around this energy. Notice it, thank it, and send it on its way because you’re making room for great things!
To embrace:
The King of Pentacles is that part of us with a full cup. Pentacles represent our “real world” abundance like money, material stuff, and our bodies.
It’s time to step into an abundant mindset. As I mentioned above, double down on gratitude for what you already have.
If you’re the type of person that has trouble accessing true gratitude, try imagining not having the thing first. For example, being able to eat a nourishing meal or take a hot shower or walk your dog…what would life be like without it?
The King is also a giver. Even if you feel like you don’t have much, what can you give to perpetuate the flow of abundance in your life and others? It might be a smile or a donation or a nice text to someone you love.
Plant your new moon seeds now.
two
Ace of Pentacles reversed & The Moon
To release:
Does it feel like you’ve been missing out on cool opportunities? Or have things not gone as planned?
The Ace of Pentacles has a tremendous amount of abundant energy behind it, but there’s something stuck in the way that needs to be released.
Perhaps you’re carrying self-doubt or another lack-based mindset.
As I always say, you’ll know. Take a minute to reflect on what kind of energy you might be putting out there that is blocking new opportunities for abundance in your life.
When you find it, thank it, then kiss it goodbye.
To embrace:
It’s time to sink into your quieter, intuitive self right now. Whatever answer it is you’re looking for, or direction you’re trying to move in, the answers are there in the dark just waiting to be brought into the light.
In other words, trust yourself, dear reader.
Give yourself the gift of your own friendship and wisdom and move forward with confidence that you have what it takes.
three
The Magician reversed & the Page of Pentacles
To release:
It’s time to stop playing small. Even if you think you’re going big, go bigger.
You have so much to give to yourself, your family or friends, and your community that hasn’t even been scratched.
This is a call to release imposter syndrome and the little voice that tells you that you “can’t” or “shouldn’t” or “what if”…
…notice when it arises, then send it on its way.
To embrace:
The Page of Pentacles is the part of you that wants to explore and bring something into being.
Think, a hobby you’ve dreamed after but haven’t started.
Why not?
The energy of the page you’re being called to embrace is that “just start” or “just do it” energy that is the creative force behind all the things you see in the world.
No one can start for you. And there is never a right time (other than yesterday). So learn more about it, join a class, order a book, watch a video, and try it.
