Tomorrow there’s a full moon at 5:24 PM—the kind known as a micromoon. And in May, there are actually two full moons, on the 1st and the 31st. This particular moon is at its farthest point from Earth in its orbit, which makes it appear smaller and a bit softer in its expression. On top of that, it’s in the sign of Scorpio—and it’s May 1st. But there’s more: it’s also Beltane, an ancient Celtic festival celebrating life in its most creative form—love, passion, fertility, pleasure, and creative force. In that, we can interpret a kind of wholeness: the closure of the full moon and the beginning of Beltane—the insights from the full moon and the desire from Beltane. Letting go through the full moon, and creating through Beltane. Do you think that’s cool? A little magical? Many people do. I feel like Instagram is overflowing with notifications saying it’s time to open this portal—one that will close on the 31st, in the sign of Sagittarius. I want to think it’s cool and magical, but my pragmatic side has a few questions. Why is it magical? What is it based on? Ancient culture, yes—but who created these ideas about the moon and its phases? Could it be a kind of programming that “everyone” experiences as magical, and therefore collectively creates that magic? I do think the full moon is beautiful. But when I let go of the magical thinking and stopped carrying all my decks and crystals out into the moonlight, I lost some of that magic. The full moon doesn’t really affect me—I’m in the same mood, and I sleep like a log. But for some, it’s incredibly magical—and if it is, then it should be. Maybe it’s time for you to step into your own portal of self-awareness. To use Scorpio’s mysterious power, the drama, and release what you no longer need—the things that create unnecessary intensity—and begin to find peace within yourself. So that by the 31st, when the moon has completed its cycle, you carry new insights shaped by Sagittarius energy. As for me, I’ll think about it… and knowing myself, I probably won’t reflect much further, unfortunately.

I walk away, I choose my heart From what I knew, I now depart I turn within, I play my role In unity with my soul, I grow I stayed too long in what felt wrong Held on to pain I carried on I lost myself in doubt and fear Forgot that love is always here I see it now, I feel the truth I don’t need proof, I don’t need youth No more hiding, no more delay I choose myself, I walk away I walk away, I choose my heart From what I knew, I now depart I turn within, I play my role In unity with my soul, I grow I lift my eyes, I claim my place No more running, no more chase What’s meant for me will always stay What’s not aligned will fade away I am not lost, I’m finding me In every step, I set me free No more blame, no more control Just trust the path within my soul I walk away, I choose my heart From what I knew, I now depart I turn within, I play my role In unity with my soul, I grow

Mm, what I mean is—when you’re happy, do you sing love songs out of joy? When you’re unhappy, do you go searching for the most depressing songs to reinforce that feeling? Read that last line carefully! Because it’s often like this—music affects us. Choruses stick, sometimes entire songs, depending on whether the rhythm matches who you are. Unfortunately, we often choose music based on our mood. If you’re sad, you look for songs that resonate, that match your feeling. And that can be quite destructive. Personally, I don’t like sad love songs. Partly because it’s not my rhythm (I am a country girl), but mostly because I’ve actually listened to the lyrics—“you’ll never come back,” “you’ve left me forever,” and things like that. These are negative programs, negative affirmations. And yet… so easy to sing along to when your heart is broken. Did you know I’ve created songs for Tarot & the Law of Attraction, but also for runes, chakras, and zodiac signs? The reason is that I work with positive thinking, and I know how deeply music affects us. For me personally, this has been a breakthrough—I’ve started writing again, but now I use a structure with verse, chorus, and so on… and wow, it really flows ;) I’ve created songs for the course “Tarot & Love,” which is coming soon. If I had stuck to logic, it would have been finished by now—without songs. But then the feeling stepped in, and suddenly I found myself creating love songs, based on each card’s energy but with positive encouragement. Yes, as I said—I love to inspire. I know how important love is for everyone, so why not sing it in? Imagine pulling a card for the love energy of the day—you get Strength… mm, sing along: STRENGTH – I Hold Love (I Am Strong Enough) I hold love, I don’t let go I feel my strength, I let it show I trust myself, I trust what’s true I stand in love in all I do I don’t break, I don’t run away I meet my heart, I choose to stay I am strong in what I feel I know this love is deep and real

Every Monday, I host live web meetings for the course “Tarot, Card by Card” in Swedish. It’s an online course where we go through all the numbers, one number each week, across all the suits. This Monday we explored the 8s, which are about response—different forms of response. Another word for it is communication. But the 8s are also an energy (a number) connected to karma and reflection. 8 of Wands can be right now—like me communicating with you. And in that, it would be lovely to receive a response 🙂 At least when the Eight is upright, because then it’s positive communication. But sometimes we also need to receive responses we consciously don’t want. It can be hard to understand how that, in the long run, might be exactly what we need. There is always a reason for every card that appears—it is always exactly what we need, even when we don’t want to hear it. Our soul has a different version of what kind of response we truly need. A bit more challenging is the 8 of Cups, where we worry about what others think. No matter what response we receive, we read between the lines. If someone says we are beautiful, the thought isn’t “thank you,” but “why?” And then the mind starts spinning in different directions—do they want something? Do they really mean it? Am I beautiful? Well… there must be a reason for this. And then the feelings continue to spiral deeper and deeper, until the original message—that we are beautiful—turns into the belief that we are worthless. The 8 of Pentacles, on the other hand, that’s where the response comes from within. We listen inwardly to what we need to develop, and when we do that, we receive feedback from the outside world that we gratefully accept. The fourth Eight—8 of Swords. Now it’s the thoughts that spin out of control. While the 8 of Cups is about what others think of us, the 8 of Swords is about what we think of ourselves—or rather, what we don’t like about ourselves. Self-criticism, distrust in our own capacity, which creates chaos in how we receive and interpret feedback.

You can now read your horoscope (all signs) in Classroom and also listen to the songs for each sign with lyrics. Congratulations to you, born in the sign of Taurus.🎉
