Tarot by the Moon is a wonderful new book by a new Llewellyn author, Victoria Constantino. Tarot readers often pay attention to the energies of the world, including the Moon.

Enjoy these excerpts from the chapter on June: The Strawberry Moon.

As the berries of the field ripen into their fullness, the Strawberry Moon shines its light above them. June’s full moon is also known as the Rose Moon, the Mead Moon, the Dyad Moon, or the Hot Moon.

The Strawberry Moon tarot spreads included in this chapter explore what is ripe and ready for the picking, where there is sweetness that is yet undiscovered, what new deliciousness can be created, how to find relief in sticky situations, and what would benefit from pruning.

The spells and rituals in this chapter include drawing in positive circumstances, amplifying the sweetness in life, and creating a good luck talisman.

Tasting the Sweetness of the Vine

There is a saying that timing is everything; while it may not be everything, exactly, it can be helpful to know the best actions to take, as the choicest moment to advance to the next step is not always readily apparent to us. Use this spread as a guide to help you gain insight on how the fruits of the vine, those opportune situations, can factor into the various elements of your life and how you can make the most of them.
