Be True to YOU this Capricorn New Moon

Dear Moon Muser,

To all you seekers who have been led to me - may you find your way home to your self. May my words and art bring you what you need when you need it.

The New Moon is a time of hope. Time to plant your seeds, water them, and tend them well.

I work one-on-one these days to help you BE YOU and be true to yourself.

I practice what I preach. The stars, cards and stones speak to me. So do the spirits, the ancestors, my guides. Their teachings stretching back in time and forward.

Listen. Teach. Share.

Blessed Be & Sparkly Blessings!
Kathy Crabbe

Song by Kathy Crabbe (Lefty Oracle Deck)

#3. “Song” from the Lefty Oracle Deck

Mantra: I contemplate.
Affirmation: I sing a song of joy.
Element: Earth

Song
I call to me a flower,
this poem,
this life,
this magic,
where gentleness and god/dess preside.

I pluck a song
of forgetfulness
and gently, 
so gently, 
move on.

When this card appears in a reading it’s time to kick back and enjoy life for a while. Relax. Sing. Play. Chill. What restores peace to your soul? Do it. If you can’t find peace then find quiet. Give yourself permission to let your hair down, kick off your shoes and be yourself.

In my own life I seek grounding and peace in nature, in painting and in meditation. These feed me, so I make sure to include at least one of them in my day and hopefully all three.

King of Cups from the Paulina Deck by Paulina Fae

#4. Three of Cups from the Paulina Tarot

Affirmation: I acknowledge my intuition.

About Kathy Crabbe
I am proud to be an artist and soul reader, in business since 1993. I love my work and hope you've enjoyed coming along for the ride and allowing me to be of service to you through all the creative, healing work I do. Thank you.

The awakening of my intuitive gifts came at age 40 when I found myself creatively blocked so I switched to my left hand which awakened my right brain and inspired me to create a Lefty Oracle Deck and become a professional soul reader. I have since published 4 oracle decks with the Fairy Herbal Oracle deck coming in 2022.

I live in Southern California and soon in the 1000 Islands, Canada for half the year with my pooch and partner in homes we’ve built ourselves.

Cancer New Moon Soul Reading

Enjoy the video I created below just for the Cancer New Moon along with a Cancerian Goddess and Lefty Oracle card from my hand painted oracle decks.

Cancer Goddess: Circe (Zodiac Goddess Power Deck)

Cancer Affirmations

• I care deeply for others

• I see the wounded child within us all

• I teach others how to care and wash their wounds

• I am sensitive and receptive

• I am safe and protected

• My home is my heart

Nurture your Cancerian roots

- Be quietly at home with your family
- Protect your home as if it were a sacred temple
- Ease your fears and reconnect with your true feelings
- Feel compassion for all living things
- Open your heart
- Acknowledge pain and sorrow

Circe or ‘witch’ was a fate spinner and a weaver of the destinies of men.  She was called ‘The Goddess who commanded all the lights of heaven’ by Pliny an ancient philosopher. Circe lived as a witch and a weaver in a little stone cottage by the sea where she concocted magical herbal potions to ensnare sailors shipwrecked near her shores, turning the nastiest ones into swine.

Lefty Oracle: Margo Recaptures Her Innocence

Mantra: I remember.
Affirmation: I am beautiful and free and I reclaim ME.
Element: Water

If this card appears in a reading it’s time to look back at the fun parts of your childhood. What memories spark good feelings? Are you able to tap into those feelings in any of your current activities? In other words how do you feed your child self that still wants attention? She or he is a part of your psyche that may need some extra care and attention right now so give yourself some precious time to do just that. Break out the crayons, the bike, the ball, the clarinet, the glitter wand and make some magick happen. Do something that touches your inner child-self and makes her/him feel happy and loved. Like the butterfly wings in this card’s imagery it’s time to fly, transform and awaken yourself perhaps by leaving things behind, or by remembering and loving the old you or by stowing away all parts of you that are no longer needed.

In my own life whenever I sit down to draw or paint I feel as though I’m feeding my inner child and bringing love and joy into my life so I try to do that every day because I usually feel better afterwards (and during!)

Creative Journal Prompt
When you look back at your childhood, what pops out for you as a favorite memory, or two, or three? Why are they your favorite memories? Are you still in touch with that side of yourself and the people or places in those memories? If not, why not? Take one small step today or this week to re-connect with those people or places and write down a plan for this in your journal.

New Moon Astrology

Moon Opposes Pluto and Saturn: You may feel emotionally ‘off’ - perhaps too emotional or disconnected. It’s best now to DO NOTHING because this transit will only last a few days.

Jupiter Sextiles Pluto Exactly on July 27 (and October 11): A good time for visionary dreams or you may just feel lazy!

If this card appears in a reading you are more than ready to forge ahead. You are brave and you are going for it; nothing or no one can stand in your way. Simple.

In my own life this card also speaks of raw, naked ambition and flaunting it without shame or fear. It’s a feminist card, a fighter card, a power card. Blessed Be.
