Dear Moon Muser,
It’s the New Moon in Aquarius on Feb. 11 at 11:06 am PST and I’ve created a Video Astro/Soul Reading with Cat Herbal cards, a Spirit Animal of the month, some Aquarius Goddess energy plus loads of Astro info too. Time to get relaxed, ground, center and set your intentions for the moonth ahead plus pick-a-card to help bring more healing, compassion, joy and energy into your life.
Dear Moon Muser, Let’s meet in the middle. This spiritual time is for you. To celebrate Mama Moon and yourself. NOW is the time. Be gentle, and begin. This is your sustenance. Be gentle. Be light. Float here for a bit in this space with me and our Moon Musing family. You are safe here and always welcome. The cards featured are from my own self published oracle decks. Look for the new Zodiac Goddess Power Deck to be released in Spring, 2020.
Time now to go deep.
Relax.
Take some breaths.
Choose a card above then scroll down for the REVEAL.

At the Brigit's Garden conference there was a much more health and safety version one made from yarn.
