This spread is named for the dark or new moon, the three nights when not even a sliver of moon glow shined in the inky black sky. The moon, especially in the dark phase, represents things that are hidden, and it cries a warning to those who care to turn their ears to its subtle murmurings.
The Dark Moon spread uses only four cards, but they are enough to show you what is hidden from you in terms of karma from a past life and how that karma will manifest if you stay your same course in your current life. The north and south nodes of the moon have been linked to past-life exploration by astrologers. The south node represents the past and the north node the future. In the middle is the current you and your hidden karma.
The image attached is how to lay the cards..
Card 1 - This card represents a major issue or event from a past life that remains unresolved in your present life.
Card 2 - This card represents something hidden from you in your current life related to the incident in Card 1 in which a major karmic debit was incurred.
Card 3 - This card shows the outcome of this hidden karmic issue if you continue on your current life without changing course. If this card shows a good outcome, then you may already be turning toward the path of wisdom that will erase the negative karma.
If the outcome is not pleasing, you might want to focus more of your time and energy figuring out what that hidden karma is all about. If you see a bad outcome -- and only if it is unacceptable -- draw off the next card in your deck and place it on top of Card 2 as show below.
Card 4 - If you've drawn off a fourth card, your former outcome must have been undesirable to you. Card 4 can show you how to overcome your karmic debt in this lifetime by hinting at positive changes you can make starting right now.
Once you have had a chance to make those positive changes, you should do this spread again to see if the outcome is any better or if more changes in course are needed to give you the life you want.
I like this spread and thought I would share it with all of you here, feel free to comment or use it and let me know what you think too!
