Each month under the darkening light of the Waning Moon, I pull cards from The Storm Cloud Oracle to guide us through the coming weeks. After the Dark Moon, a time of dark skies, rest and reflection, the next lunar cycle begins afresh. 

For each Dark Moon reading, I pull one card for the collective, a theme for the month, and another for each Zodiac sign. Together they offer insight, wisdom and guidance for the curious and the questioning.

These are your messages from the storm.

The card for all

The Planchette

The Planchette asks you to build a bridge between your conscious and subconscious mind, and bring something hidden into the light. Knowledge beyond the tangible world wants to become known.

This card calls in communication - with your intuition, your higher self, or the spirit world - and reminds you to stay open to messages from beyond the veil.

 

 


Scorpio - The Skeleton Key 

Reading: The Skeleton Key is a card of opportunity and possibility - you hold the power to unlock any door you wish to walk through. Paired with the Planchette, you’re encouraged to listen to your intuition, that quiet inner voice, to guide you toward the right path. If all doors were open, which one would you choose?

Sagittarius - The Bad Penny

Reading: The Bad Penny appears when it’s time to make a change - to break a habit or pattern in order to move forward. Paired with the Planchette, this could call for some deep shadow work. Your subconscious has something it wants you to know, something that will help you break a destructive cycle. Open the channels of communication, Sagittarius, and listen.

Capricorn - The Arrow

Reading: If you’ve had a scattergun approach to life lately, The Arrow is here to tell you to focus your aim. You can only hit one target at a time - stop trying to do everything all at once. The Planchette reminds you to trust your gut and follow your intuition. When you focus your energy and attention, there’s no goal beyond your reach.

Aquarius - The Rat

Reading: Less is more, Aquarius. The Rat urges you to slow down, stop chasing “more, more, more,” and appreciate what you already have. The Planchette asks whether you’ve been ignoring something - a voice within, or a message from elsewhere - because you’re too caught up in the everyday hustle. Take a beat. Sit with yourself. Listen.

Pisces - The Hourglass

Reading: Be patient, dear Pisces, trust the flow. Everything meant for you will find its way to you, in its own time. If you have been wishing and waiting for something to happen, The Hourglass reminds you to be patient. Don’t wish your life away looking to the future. Paired with the Planchette, however, perhaps these cards together remind you that some things are already unfolding beneath the surface. Trust your intuition, listen for quiet guidance, and let time work its quiet magic.

Aries - The Witch

Reading: The witch is a reminder that you are a powerful, magical being, even when, especially when, you don’t feel like that at all. The planchette encourages you to listen to the part of yourself, that knows this deep down. You have been ignoring her for too long. Perhaps, even, you have an ancestor who has a message for you. Connect with your magic this month dear Aries, you are made of stardust, don’t you know.

Taurus - The Coffin

Reading: The Coffin asks you to lay something to rest. There’s something you need to release so you can move forward. But let’s be clear, dear Taurus - you’re not being asked to bury it and forget. The Coffin and the Planchette together urge you to listen to your subconscious, to understand what it’s been holding on to. It’s time to acknowledge it, grieve it, and finally let it go

Gemini - The Pentagram 

Reading: Draw a sacred circle around yourself this month, Gemini. The Pentagram and the Planchette give you permission to set boundaries and reclaim your energy. You don’t always have to be in service to others or giving parts of yourself away. Spend some time with your inner twin - your subconscious self - and allow the two of you to reconnect. You’ll feel renewed for it.

Cancer - The Draped Urn

Reading: Consider this a cosmic tap on the shoulder, Cancer - your ancestors want to speak to you! The Draped Urn and the Planchette both ask you to listen to voices from the other side. The Urn reminds you of all those who came before you, who survived so that you could thrive. They want the best for you and are offering wisdom and love whenever you need it. Let them in.

Leo - The Crow

Reading: The Crow reminds you that you get what you give. The energy, time, and heart you invest - in your craft, your relationships, your dreams - will always return to you in kind. The Planchette asks you to bridge the conscious and the unseen, to tune into the subtle signs around you. Together, these cards urge you to act with intention, listen for guidance, and trust that your efforts are echoing through the universe — ready to return when the time is right.


Virgo - The Toadstool

Reading: The Toadstool encourages you to let go of perfectionism and embrace the unknown this month. Things might be messy, unfinished, or not quite right, but perfectionism is the enemy of progress. Don’t hide away your talents, gifts, or yourself because you don’t fit the expected idea of what they should look like. There’s a voice in you that wants to be heard - let it speak, without judgment.

Libra - The Sacred Heart

Reading: The Sacred Heart asks you to live with compassion, kindness, and love. Paired with the Planchette, it suggests that this side of you is ready to come into the light. If you’ve been feeling down, stuck, or trapped in a negative spiral, these cards urge you to soften. Be gentle with yourself, lead with an open heart, and don’t let yours turn hard.
