Slow Tarot: Libra Dark Moon Spread
A spread to carry us from the Libra dark moon through Scorpio season. Slow tarot roots us into one spread for the collective for the duration of a moon cycle. This new Libra moon asks us to attune to notions of justice in the midst of a journey – as we travel between agency and oppression, hope and despair. It calls on us to deepen and recommit to our most deeply held values and feel our desires to see those values enacted through the webs that we are connected to in ways that influence the entire collective. This spread asks us, how do we accept what is real in this moment, and also orient ourselves to the practice of hope?
the call of capricorn season
Winter naturally brings constraint, teaching us how to ration and stretch our resources. The symbol of Capricorn, the sign that brings winter to the northern hemisphere, is the sea goat, a mythical creature. A goat subsists in the terrain of constraint, on hardscrabble cliff sides and mountain tops. And what about the sea goat? In the tarot, water often symbolizes the entry to our inner depths. Aligned to the dark days of winter this side of the Earth, the sea goat becomes our guide to surviving the cold darkness by finding sustenance in the depths of our interiority.

These workbooks were created for the Circling Center retreat series of 2023. I had so much fun making them, and think they are useful tools for building your own relational Tarot practice. The first booklet contains four invitations that I consider to be the scaffolding of my approach to Tarot. The second one digs into the archetypes of the Fool, Magician, and High Priestess from this perspective.
