The Voyager Deck by James Wanless, PH.D
Reading for the Month:
For the Reading of the Month I use a Three Card spread which indicates, the opportunities of the month to come, the challenges of the month ahead and the best actions to take to meet your goals.
Opportunities For The Month:
'Opportunities For The Month' indicate the new opportunities available for the month of May. The card of Change/The Eight of Worlds appeared. This card has a theme of seasonal changes. Snow drifts are followed by growing green leaves, followed by fall foliage, with Saturn, the planet of time hidden quietly in the background. There is a chameleon suggesting being able to change to your circumstance. This card represents the inevitability of change and how change is required to keep up with the cycles of life. There is a strong suggestion of being flexible, versatile and adaptable. To keep yourself renewed, alert and creative. This card directs you to branch out and continue to grow. Don't get fixed or overly protective for maintaining the status quo. The card's meaning is…to be sensitive to cycles of change, one thing leads to another, time moves on and nothing lasts forever. Don't be afraid of letting situations go.
On the 4th, there is a new Moon in the sign of Taurus. Taurus is the sign of building and accumulating resources. It is the sign of wealth and financial increase. During this new Moon you are stimulated to begin projects that will bring wealth both physically and spiritually into your life. To do work that is worthwhile brings a tremendous wellness to your spirit. This is also a good time to start over new in some situation…to begin over. A few days after the new Moon, mental planet Mercury joins the Moon and inspires new thoughts and ideas for increasing your resources. Look below and see how the new Moon might influence you for the next 30 days…

Scorpio is also the sign of transformation and personal healing. If there are secrets that have kept you from being at peace or from being able to heal, this full Moon will allow situations to manifest. Also, if there is something you need to know, this is the right time to search for it. The light of the full Moon acts like an 'X-ray' of truth. 'Seek and you will find.' Look below to see how the full Moon in Scorpio might influence you for the next 30 days.
​
Aries: The truth comes out regarding love this full Moon. The good and the bad needs to be talked about whether the other person likes it or not. Certain matters must be evaluated, if not, this love situation will be broken. The tables can also turn and you're the one getting the advice. Prepare for a dose of needed reality.
​
Taurus: Problems in love can twist you in knots this full Moon. Stop reacting to negativity and sit still to see what is really going on. You could be totally off track about what the true issue is. If deceptive in your partnership is going on, you'll be pointed in the right direction to find. The answer is not that far away. Look for it.
​
Gemini: A chance to promote yourself at work materializes this full Moon. A situation surfaces and you're the perfect person for it. Don't hesitate to ask for what you want. You have a lot of cosmic help and it's time you begin to use it. Keep your plans for a new job to yourself. A coworker might want the same and you don't need the extra competition.
​
Cancer: Avoid desperation in love. Loneliness can be a strong motivator, but staying with someone who impedes your growth will cost you plenty in the long run.There is a big difference is being alone and being lonely. Enjoying the presence of your own company empowers the spirit and strengthens your heart. You'll find the right person soon.
​
Leo: The best way to keep peace with loved ones is to let them express their grievances. If you've been running into the same issue with the same person, take time to hear what they're saying. This full Moon sensitizes you to the issues of those who truly matter to you. Avoiding things won't make them go away. Deal with them.
​
Virgo: Your intuition is intensified. The full Moon strengthens your spirit to receive greater psychic information. Not every situation makes sense or has a reasonable or logical answer. You'll be able to dig deeper to find accuracy and resolve important personal issues by 'how you feel' and not what you know. Embrace an intuitive path this full Moon.
​
Libra: 'There's no success without challenge.' Refrain from thinking that better situations appear without a struggle. Yes, you can get lucky, but that doesn't happen often. If something is blocking your progress, do all to remove it, and if the road to success is longer than expected, prepare yourself for the long haul. The easy way is not always the right way.
​
Scorpio: You get honest feed back from a loved this full Moon. Your focus on achieving your best might be off and people are concerned about you. If someone wants to give honest advice be open minded enough to listen. Your enemies won't tell you the truth, only those who care for you will step up. Get a reality check and be glad for it!
​
Sagittarius: Don't ignore that fact that certain are jealous of you. It is true that you have strong protection from your angels, but haters will throw things your way to muddy your path. Keep an eye on your foes and stay sensitive to actions done around the full Moon. You'll know who is working against. Keep your guards up and your prayers active.
​
Capricorn: Be more attentive with your time. If you've been working on reaching a certain goal and it hasn't materialized, maybe you should hash it out and rethink it. The full Moon adds greater insight into current activities and if you want to know the truth analyze what you're doing. You'll know in your heart if you're on track.
​
Aquarius: Keep your thoughts to yourself, but focus hard on getting what you want out of your work situation. Making a positive impression on the job comes a lot easier this full Moon as people seem to notice your every action. Act like a boss and move with authority. You will impress those in positions of power. Yes!!!
​
Pisces: Be brave enough to end situations that lead to nowhere. This includes habits you find comfortable but are unproductive such as taking your time to get things done and relationships with those who don't support your dreams. Discipline is the key to your personal success this full Moon. All you need to determination to make a change and persistence.
​

This card means to have unbending self-determination, to know yourself and value yourself, to have courage to stand alone, to have vision, aspiration and to follow the higher road.

thinking. Gemini is also the sign that accumulates and disburses information. The actions to take this month is to seek the information you need to rise to a higher level.

Take a look below to see how both the Sun and Mercury in the sign of Gemini might influence you over the next 30 days.
Aries: Discard old decisions that are no longer useful. Just because you decided on a matter doesn't mean you can't change your mind.

Changing your position makes you wise.
​
Taurus: Focus on breaking negative habits. Stop doing things what prevent your growth or being with people who interfere with your motivation to progress. Insecurity can be a big issue.
