Full Moon Tarot Reading: Your Monthly Audit, by Moonlight

I will not tell you the full moon is the reason your ex texted. I will tell you that once a month the sky hands you a deadline, and most people waste it.

In tarot, the full moon is a point of culmination. Whatever has been building comes into full view, including the parts you have been avoiding. A full moon tarot reading uses that moment to take stock of what is finished, what is still unresolved

and what you are carrying out of habit.

Why the moon matters in tarot

The moon runs through the whole deck. It has its own card in the Major Arcana, sits at the feet of The High Priestess, and appears in the Minor Arcana in the Eight of Cups and the Two of Swords. Wherever it shows up, it points to the same things: intuition, the subconscious and whatever is not being said.

The phases of the moon and the tarot work well together because they do related jobs. The moon marks beginnings, reflection and mystery. The cards bring up answers that are buried in the subconscious.

What The Moon card means

The Moon is one of the most evocative cards in a tarot deck. It appears when something about your situation is hidden from you, usually by a mental block you did not know you had. In a health reading, The Moon turns your attention to your mental wellbeing. It asks you to look honestly at recent events, and at older ones that still have a hold on you. It is a prompt for reflection, and it is never a diagnosis.

Tarot through the moon phases

New moon: beginnings and intentions. Ask what you want to start.

Waxing moon: momentum. Ask what needs your effort.

Full moon: culmination and clarity. Ask what has come to a head and what to release.

Waning moon: rest and reflection. Ask what you have learned.

Three reasons to book a full moon tarot reading

1. You see yourself clearly. At the full moon the cards focus on the relationship you have with yourself. For people who spend the month managing everyone else, this is rarely comfortable and always useful.

2. You close what needs closing. Many professional tarot readers treat the full moon as a time of transformation. A full moon reading shows which situations have run their course, so you stop feeding them and regain your emotional balance.

3. You get ready for what is next. Full moon readings are aimed at unlocking potential. Trusting your intuition and knowing your worth is how you recognise an opportunity when it arrives, and the reading prepares you for both.

It also gives you a standing appointment with yourself. One evening a month, on the calendar, with a reader who has done this for more than twenty years.

My full moon ritual

Full moon rituals are part of my own practice, for personal and professional readings. For clients, I use full moon tarot spreads chosen to fit the purpose of the session.

My decks get attention too. After a run of full moon sessions I leave the cards out in moonlight to release the energies they have picked up. I also cleanse them with a sprinkle of sea salt, with clear quartz and amethyst placed close by, and finish with a ten-minute meditation to charge the deck.
