New Moon in Aries Tarot: The Star

Help is on the way!

This comes on the night of the new moon in Aries, which is April 16, 2026. It isn’t necessarily a new moon tarot pull, but I think it fits. I’m going to do a quick spiel on the primary card from this pull in this post. I’ll go a little deeper into the full three-card spread on my BuyMeACoffee page.

Keywords: healing, hope, optimism, renewal, release

In most traditional Rider-Waite decks, the Star is depicted with a feminine figure who is nude. She has one leg in the water and one leg on dry land. However, in this deck, she is depicted as someone who is happy-go-lucky. She’s fully clothed except for her feet. Her feet are bare. She appears to be hanging in mid-air after a gleeful leap. Her back is arched, and her face is towards the sky while the star shines above her head. It looks like she’s part of the constellations.

Lately, I have been pulling cards with no questions asked. I shuffle and pull. Every day is spiritual for me, but I’ve been in a heightened spiritual place the past few weeks due, in large part, to financial hardships and figuring out how to navigate them. The Star card says that there’s hope. Things are looking up. After months of little to no work from my “day job” and rejections from even the simplest jobs that I’m overqualified for, this is a relief.

The Deep Dive

I actually pulled more than three cards, but the cards I documented were The Star, Page of Pentacles reversed, and Four of Cups.

A Moment with the Cards: Flamingo in Winter

Snow and ice covered the ground outside of my home when I pulled the Flamingo card from my animal oracle deck. I laughed when I turned the card over because the absurdity of this card appearing in the middle of such circumstances was as ironic as it was symbolic for what’s happening in my personal and professional lives. It is as reflective of my new adoptive name, Sparkle Noir, as it is a message of encouragement for anyone who comes across this. A Shallow Dive Instead of a Deep One To start out on the shallow end of the pool of Flamingo spiritual symbolism, let’s take a look at the color scheme. Pretty much all the flamingos I’ve seen are bright pink birds with long legs. They are known for being able to stand on one leg for long periods. Brightness and balance are what I immediately think of when I see this card. A widespread snowstorm has covered half of the United States, yet here is this card sent as a reminder to remain optimistic even in the cold and dark days. While many...

A Moment with the Cards: A Good Cry Is a Spiritual Bath Part II - Empathy & Heart of Gold

Lately, when I pull oracle cards, I find myself not fully reading into them right away. I’ll take mental notes of my first impressions, but I really have to let them marinate for a few days or even a few weeks. That’s exactly the case for the cards I’m about to share today. First, let me call back a reading I called A Good Cry is a Spiritual Bath because it is relevant. Tears play a huge role in my interpretation of these cards today. The cards for today are Empathy from Paradise Oracle and Heart of Gold from Oracle of Great Mystics. A Shallow Dive Instead of a Deep One Visually, both cards exude softness, which is what one would expect from empathy, I hope. When someone tells you that you have a heart of gold, they usually mean that you have great personality characteristics that are marked by kindness and generosity. For the sake of time-saving, I won’t do a deep dive on my interpretation of this because my personal reflections will say more than anything I could possibly imag...
