6. Disseminating Moon

The intensity of the Full Moon has abated — and what are we left with? That's what this card is asking you.

It suggests that the situation you're asking about has now peaked and it's time for you to regroup and learn from your experiences rather than blindly forging ahead. Have faith that what is happening is for the best. Try to accept the way things are now, and give yourself and others time out to relax. Breathe; we can't be 'on' all the time. If you feel you've hit an obstacle or even failed in some way, now is the time to reflect on how to do things differently next time. Be honest with yourself if you feel bad about your current situation and then remind yourself that life goes in cycles.

I am where I am and it's okay.

• You should know where you stand either now or very soon. • You need to take some time out for your own good. • It's time for you to share your wisdom and experience with someone else. • Avoid falling into a slump.

The Disseminating Moon is the first Moon phase after the explosion of energy that comes with the Full Moon. No matter when you pick this card, it suggests you're at a more tranquil point in the life cycle of whatever situation you're asking about. This is not the ideal time to start something new. The Disseminating Moon is the time to breathe out. Give yourself some time off and think about what has passed.
