I’ve been reflecting quite a bit these past few months on why I enjoy working with the Archetypes of Tarot, Astrology, and the Moon Phases in Embodied & Intuitive ways.

One major reflection I’ve had is that as a Black Woman, these Archetypes allow me to re-vision and recreate myself outside of societal norms, constructs and stereotypes.

Through the eyes of the 78 Cards I can birth new versions of myself when necessary and whenever I want too. I can be soft and subtle like the Empress, messy, wild and a lil’ chaotic like the Knight of Swords. I can create and mold my own reality like the Magician and I can observe sacred sadness and pain like the invitation of the 3 of Swords.

I study my Astrological chart and find my strengths and weaknesses, where I might be challenged and how I can best rise to the occasion of said challenge. I get to claim and acclimate parts of myself through this map of the stars. Accepting and integrating parts of me outsiders tempt me to reject because it doesn’t fit their narrative of how I should be or act.

Through Archetypes I Re-Imagine & Reconstruct Myself.

And so can You.

These personal reflections feel fitting to share for Thursday’s New Moon in Aquarius, which also happened to coincide with a total of 5 other Planets sitting in Aquarius as well, including Mercury stationed in Retrograde!

Aquarius wants you to Honor your Uniqueness, to Honor all the things that make you special, different, distinct and all the little bits that make you YOU. This Moon is a perfect opportunity to reimagine a future self void of restrictions and limitations. This Moon goes beyond thinking outside the box. Instead, Imagine if the boxes never existed at all. Reconstruct a personal narrative that allows you to accept all the glorious parts of your being, personality and purpose. When we choose to align with a certain Archetype we can imbue our bodies and psyches on both the consciousness and subconscious levels with new habits, traits, behaviors, and processes. Archetypes help us break free from repression (the shadow work of Aquarian energy) and limiting belief systems, both personal and those ingrained through cultural and familial ties.

What inner stirrings are pulling at your heartstrings at this time? What are your gut instincts telling you to pay attention to? Like the Star in the Tarot, which corresponds to Aquarius, we have a guiding light or force calling us forward. And like The Fool, who is compelled by Uranus (Aqua’s ruling Planet) we can rush towards the new and exciting, confidently seeking liberation and individuation in service of our Souls & our Planet.
