Ok so moon phases during readings. My bff was trying to conceive and I did a spread for her during a waxing moon, that guide was helpful for interpreting what came up (especially the cards I wasn’t expecting).
But it got me wondering. Has anyone else noticed the moon phase affects which pregnancy cards show up in a reading? Just curious if that’s a thing or if it was coincidence.
The Tower for my first pregnancy. Which tracks.
Mary K. Greer has a great chapter on this in ‘Tarot for Your Self’, about how disruptive cards can signal major life transitions like that.
Three months. We’ve known each other three months and I pulled the Sun for a fertility question about this guy.
Like… major arcana. Not exactly subtle. And now I’m kind of spiraling about it (because who wouldn’t be). Anyone else get big cards like that when asking about kids?
Well played, tarot. The Empress showed up in my boyfriend’s reading and I kind of laughed it off, then a few months later, positive pregnancy test. From a freak birth control failure.
Like… okay then
Reversed Queen of Pentacles in a fertility reading. For me this has always pointed to self-nurturing more than anything else. The cards may be asking whether this soul is truly ready to pour their resources into another being (money, emotions, physical energy).
Sometimes the message runs deeper though. The body preparing for new life requires tending first. Proper nourishment. Healing attention. That quiet work of making oneself a vessel gets overlooked so often in these readings.
Has anyone else found this card speaks more to readiness than rejection?
