The New Moon spread

Four cards for the dark of the moon, when the sky is empty and a cycle begins. Nothing is lit yet, so the spread asks small questions: where you honestly are, what you would like to grow over the coming month, and one step you could take this week.

Try it now — turn each card. The shuffle is real.
