๐APRIL & MAY 2023๐
โก๏ธApril 21st – May 14th – Mercury Retrograde
โก๏ธ๐May 5th – Full Moon in Scorpioโ๏ธ
โก๏ธMay 5th – Lunar Eclipse (happening during the Full Moon!)
โก๏ธApril 21st – May 14th – Mercury Retrograde
- Reflect & Declutter: Take advantage of this introspective energy during Mercury Retrograde to evaluate unresolved issues and clear your physical and emotional space.
- Old News: Exes returning during Mercury Retrograde? Proceed with caution and think about whether it’s worth the potential risks and conflicts.
- Slow Your Roll: Stay mindful and take it slow during Mercury Retrograde. Use this time for introspection and emotional growth.
โก๏ธ๐May 5th – Full Moon in Scorpioโ๏ธ
- Release what no longer serves you: The Full Moon in Scorpio illuminates what is hidden beneath the surface and can bring intense emotions to the forefront. Use this energy to release any negative emotions, limiting beliefs, or behaviors that are holding you back. Consider performing a releasing ritual, such as writing down what you want to let go of and burning it.
- Embrace vulnerability: Scorpio is associated with transformation and intimacy, so use this Full Moon to deepen your connections with others by opening up and showing your vulnerable side. This can be scary, but it can also create a stronger bond and help you release any emotional blocks that are hindering your relationships.
- Focus on abundance: Scorpio is also associated with abundance and manifestation. Use this Full Moon to focus on what you want to attract into your life, whether itโs love, money, or success. Set intentions for what you want to bring in and visualize yourself already enjoying it. Remember, as within, so without.
โก๏ธ๐May 5th – Lunar Eclipseโ๏ธ
- Review your intentions: Eclipses bring powerful energy that can help you break through old patterns and manifest what you truly desire. Take this opportunity to review your intentions and see if they are still aligned with your goals. If theyโre not, revise them and set new intentions that reflect your true desires for the future.
- Practice self-care: The energy of a Lunar Eclipse can be intense, so itโs important to take care of yourself during this time. Make time for self-care practices that nourish your body, mind, and spirit. This could be as simple as taking a relaxing bath, going for a walk in nature, or meditating.
- Trust the journey: Eclipses can also bring sudden changes and unexpected events that can challenge us. Remember to trust that everything is happening for a reason and that you have the inner strength to overcome any obstacles. Use this time to practice surrendering to the flow of life and trusting your intuition to guide you forward.
Did you catch the BONUS SURPRISE LIVE? There’s an extra message for each sign this week (timestamps are in the description).
I announced the contest winners (and also am running another contest). I am looking for your best, most offensive suggestions for something to put on the back of a pair of pants (that has to do with Minnow Pond Tarot/Astrology/Tarot). Leave your words of wisdom under this video only The Winners get a Free 5-Question Personal reading from me.
I can’t wait to read what you all come up with. I laughed my ๐ off for days from the fake “apology” video last week. Yes, that Apology was FAKE. Let’s Be Clear, I stand behind everything I do here at Minnow Pond Tarot. If you’re not sure what I am talking about, watch the Apology Video Here. Definitely check out the comments for a good laugh.

YELLOW PAD CHALLENGE๐
Day 12 – Reflecting on Your Progress and Celebrating Achievements ๐
Welcome to Day 12 of our 30-day scripting challenge! Congratulations on completing the first 11 days of the challenge. Today, we’re going to take some time to reflect on our progress so far and celebrate our achievements.
It’s essential to acknowledge and celebrate the small wins along the way to achieving our bigger goals. Celebrating our accomplishments helps us stay motivated and inspired to continue taking action towards creating the life we want.
๐ Your challenge for today: Take time to reflect on your progress so far in the challenge. Write down any changes, improvements, or breakthroughs you’ve experienced since starting the challenge. Reflect on your victories, no matter how small or big, and celebrate them! Consider ways to reward yourself for your accomplishments, and schedule that reward into your calendar.
Taking time to recognize the progress we’ve made can be incredibly motivating and help us stay on track towards achieving our goals.
Take at least 10 minutes to complete this exercise. Embrace the power of scripting to help you recognize and celebrate your progress along your journey.
As always, if you have any questions or need further guidance, do not hesitate to reach out. I’m here to support you on this journey.
I’ll see you in the next newsletter for Day 13, where we’ll dive into shifting our mindset to overcome limiting beliefs. Get ready to embrace a more positive and empowered mindset!
๐If you missed any of the previous days in this 30 Day Yellow Pad Challenge, you can find them all if you click the button below.
Reward your small wins. They’ll add up and eventually outweigh the big losses.
