Full Moon Scrying, January 2016

Hello there, dearest. Once again, it has been ages since I've posted. I no longer wonder how people can 'study' for years and years. Especially if they get as distracted by life as I apparently do.

I have gotten back into an online pagan school that I was once in, that I'm using in part to fuel my desire to finally study my cards again. I am determined to get through them all eventually.

Although it's not entirely related to Tarot, I'm going to be attempting full moon scryings throughout the year. This one was especially important to me, because it is the first full moon of the new year. Last time I did a full moon scrying, it foretold my pregnancy with my daughter (which happened just a few weeks afterwards). This time, I believe it's talking about my career. It's still very new, and just began at the start of this year.

Usually, I use a black bowl of water. This time, I used my amethyst crystal ball. As I usually do at the start of the year, I ask the goddess what the year has in store for me.

The main point was for me to focus. Whether I was looking up or down, regardless of my bipolar mood. Focus, focus, focus. Even if that  means pulling things together or taking one at a time.

There were definite hints of Light and Shadow, which I'd like to attribute to my novel (which is about halfway through), but there were also hints of solid and ethereal (the solid was on top, but I'm not 100% sure if that makes a difference). I'd like to think this is telling me that the words I write down on the page are more important (and more useful) than the ones in my head; the book will never get finished if I don't write it down.

There were also two snowflakes. The closer I got, the more beautiful and intricate they were. They were usually apart, but sometimes got close together and seemed to dance around each other. When they would collide, it was just this beautiful intense rainbow and positivity.

The snowflakes were very much typical snowflake shapes on the outside, but the designs on them were very detailed on the inside. They were done in a series of tiny dots or pinholes, which let a bright light through. Sometimes the designs appeared to be human shaped (Gemini specifically) but sometimes it seemed like an open book. Always with symmetry.

I'm not entirely positive what the snowflakes were referring to. There were a few different things they could have been: my friend Michelle and I, who are two halves of a whole (literally sometimes I think we're the same person), my book and Michelle's (which are two tandem novels that intertwine), or my home life and my work life. 

All in all, I think as long as I focus on the task at hand as they come to me, and remember that FOCUSING is what I need to work on this year, everything will continue to go absolutely amazingly, as it has been since August. <3
