How was that Aries Full Moon for y’all? I have been on edge for over a week. The kids and my paras have been too. Everything feels like it’s on fire, and it’s getting exhausting… quickly!
Every month, I do a free reading option over on Instagram for the full moon. All you need to do is comment on the post. I’ve been doing this for a few months now, and I’ve realized each month that there is often a recurring theme or energy within these readings.
This month’s recurring card was…
The King of Wands!
This card came up in a quarter of our readings. There is a deep collective call to sovereignty and creativity. As we turn towards winter and the dark time of year, don’t forget to light and stoke your own inner fire, however that may look for you. The King of Wands is a master of creative flow, of sparking fire and passion. He’s a good ally energy, especially if you struggle with seasonal depression.
I know that the salamander is associated with this king traditionally, but I have really been vibing with lion energy when I think of the King of Wands. I work with lion energy daily for work, as I need a lot of leadership skills within my position, and they don’t come naturally to me, as any form of redirection to adults feels like inciting conflict to me.
If you feel connected to animal energies, I think finding an animal that reminds you of creativity, inner fire, passion, the ability to transmute, etc. and connecting with that animal as a means to help you connect with this king can be very helpful.
Cinnamon is the spice in this deck associated with the King of Wands, and we are in cinnamon season! We have sweet cinnamon for autumn and spicy cinnamon for winter. Either way, it is a warming spice that has the spiritual properties of this king.
This Aries Full Moon is asking us to connect deeply with our creativity and passions.
What themes came up for you this full moon? How is creativity flowing in your life? Do you have an animal that you feel particularly connected to? I would love to hear from you!
Here is the affirmation for the King of Wands from The Spirit of Herbs:
“I acknowledge my inner fires and use my strength to direct my destiny.”
Wishing you well this week! May your life offer what you need in this moment.
With love,
Aventurine ✨
