Aquarius New Moon Blessings

Dear Moon Muser,

It's a New Year and the first New Moon so I pulled a card from one of my five oracle card decks and I meditated. Take a moment now to contemplate the card I pulled below and to envision your emotional boundaries surrounding and protecting you in this Brave New World.

My job is to paint and explore Otherworlds; to heal and be healed. What is your job this year?

How will your boundaries protect you?

Ask the Fairy Kats and Herbs for help, if need be. Then make your New Moon Wish for the moonth ahead and sprinkle it with fairy dust.
