New Moon Tarot Reading 4/17/26
This is a ritual that I follow, and that’s drawing a few cards during the new moon. I often use a spread for new moon readings. A tarot spread is basically a layout. According to the layout, cards are picked and placed in certain positions. Each position poses a certain question, and the cards falling in the position give answers.
I am using a new moon spread that I got from littleredtarot.com. The spread requires four cards. I have put a picture of my spread below. We read a spread from left to right. It’s just like reading a book.
Let me tell you what each position means.
Card1: Where am I?
Card 2: Message I need to hear.
Card 3:What do I need to do?
Card 4: Guidance: North Star
I got the Sun card for position 1. I feel I am free in the sense that I left my job. I really wanted to get out of the teaching career, so that’s like a first step. I moved in with my partner in our new space. I have a lot of time to do things that I want to do. But at the same time, I feel vulnerable and just like a baby. I feel I am starting all over again. I was surprised to see the Sun card in this position because I dont feel exactly sunny. I feel so confused and lack clarity and determination. But at least this card reminds me of what I have for now.

King of Wands in position 2 suggests that I need to have faith and confidence in myself. I wish I could believe in the skills that I have. I need to direct my energy into meaningful things. I think King of Wands is certain and direct, and his actions are purposeful.
Five of Swords in the third position wants me to try and see if something works, and if it doesn’t, then just move on. And the way I am going on about my life may bring some setbacks. I need to accept them and get past them.
The Seven of pentacles is the guidance card. It is asking me to reflect and pause before taking any action. It is asking me to review what has and hasn’t worked so far. Things may not start immediately; I need to be patient.
I am not an Aries moon, so imagine trying to follow through with this advice. Maybe I could certainly try some breath work.
And I also do tarot readings. You can dm me on Insta at www.instagram.com/tarotnymph if you want me to read your cards.
I hope that we all have renewed energy and life post this new moon!
