Want to practice with my new crystal deck, feedback is needed please.

Would prefer someone I have not read for before to see if I can establish connection.

1) Lilypad - done

Reading for Moonchild:

1. Ego/Small Self. 19 Apatite = ACCEPTANCE
This concerns what you struggle with and what is likely to be a major challenge for you. It is to do with accepting the truth and letting go. Could it be that in your heart you know what is real but your mind chatter and strong personality/ego distract you from the truth? Recognise that you are wise (on some level you know what to do) and use that wisdom to deal with the challenge and your life will improve. Think of the challenges as learning opportunities.

2. Values. 9 Tigers Eye = EMPOWERMENT
You like being in a position of strength and power, showing confidence and decisiveness. I’m getting the sense you project these qualities and don’t like showing vulnerability. I feel like this is a Queen of Wands energy, someone who is warm, vibrant, fearless, and not afraid to speak her truth. You seem to be quite a direct person, straight to the point. I’m also thinking quite creative.

3. Foundation Skills or your positive attitudes. 29 Nirvana Quartz = ENLIGHTENMENT
This is really quite beautiful. It’s about opening yourself to enlightenment and being willing to learn. I think you are good at this, opening yourself up to learn and trying to be better. Interestingly this is the second card to mention guilt. If you are carrying guilt around remember to open yourself up and let the guilt go. Don’t punish yourself. You know you are here to learn.

4. Deficits, weaknesses, what has not been learned yet. 3 Mookaite Jasper = THE DREAMTIME
Being unable to balance inner and outer experience. Not being open to new experiences. This could mean that you have a tendency to get stuck in the past and dwell on failure. Like beating the proverbial dead horse. This can also manifest as unnecessarily punishing yourself, being too harsh and critical with yourself which can then overflow into attitudes and behaviour. Please remember to treat any failures as learning experiences for the future. No guilt please, let it go. Remember that everyone makes mistakes, they’re there to learn from. Remember to focus on your strengths and use your skills wherever you can to get through difficulties. Avoid pride and despair.

5. Credits or what you’ve learned from the past. 27 Golden Healer = ULTIMATE HEALING
This is another lovely card. It refers to the healing energy that flows through you. There is potential for healing but the process can be quite painful. It is like your soul is being scoured in order to gain empathy. In other words, painful experiences bring learning and growing. This card would refer to being aware of the learning process throughout. It may not feel like it when you’re in the middle of yet another painful experience but on some level this is happening. You are being tested and transformed. You are becoming a better, stronger and wiser person during these crises. You are aware that this is happening.

6. The new path your soul wishes to take. 37 Lavender Aragonite = ENVIRONMENTAL HEALING
This can refer to either healing your personal environment or working for environmental concerns. At its basic level, it refers to being comfortable with your self and opening yourself up to higher energies to transform yourself and your environment. So for example, if your health is not at its best, then this is a reminder to make sure it is the best it can be. And if you’re one of those people who cares about the environment then this is a message to use your skills and talents to improve it. I think it means that you need to open up to healing energy and let it transform you and your whole life. Look at everything that isn't working and see that it needs to be changed.

7. Guides and Mentors in either the physical/spiritual world. 41 Halite = THE MASTER CLEANSER
This is an earthy vibration so it would be referring to the physical plane. And yet again, this is referring to a cleansing energy. Detoxification and purification would be good things for you to aim for. If you are the sort of person who likes to indulge in drink and other ‘recreational substances’ then please try to steer clear of them because I think this is a message that it would not be good for you, at all. Clear out your life, detoxing/decluttering, whatever you have to do, please do it. Have you been feeling tired lately? Take care of yourself to improve your energy, let go of what does not serve you. Stop holding on to the past and whatever is outdated. Cleanse yourself, clean up your environment. If you have friends/buddies/teachers who are into this sort of thing, this would be a sign to cultivate their friendship/experience and learn from them. If you have trouble in this area, they can help you to move on. Enlist their help to help you make changes in your life.

8. All that you are in higher dimensions. 8 Garnet = PASSION
You are a passionate soul with a courageous heart. Your soul wants to express passion. You may not realize it but you have so much to give. Just being your strong passionate self inspires others. I kind of see you as a competent ‘warrior’ sort of person who can inspire others to be strong as well. It’s like you can be a catalyst for change.
Have others remarked on your tendency to being aggressive? This is something you need to manage carefully. It could even be due to a past life where you were too aggressive. One way to deal with the energy is to channel your aggression into creative projects. I would think that passion can be expressed in various ways and I hope that you find more ways to express it (not just romantic relationships, just to be clear).

Summary: There were a few things which kept repeating throughout the reading: your strong and take no prisoners attitude, excessive focusing on what went wrong, the need for clearing and healing. You are such a strong person! Hello Queen of Wands This came through very clearly. But it seems you suffer when you hold on to obsessive feelings. Don’t beat yourself up about past failures and don’t get stuck on what is going wrong. Let go of the past. It’s time to heal.

I’ll leave it there for now. Does any of this resonate, or not?

@Lilypad - here is yours.

Ego, the restricted view of yourself. (what you are struggling with) 35 Soulmate TWINFLAME
Feelings of not being whole and complete. Like something more is needed and not sure how to get it.. I suppose the obvious meaning is yearning for a soulmate but under that is the feeling of not being enough as you are, right now. Like there is a hole inside you needing to be filled.

What you value. 49 Graphic Smoky Quartz THE STABILIZER
You would like to be more stable within yourself while exploring new options. Seems to indicate that you like exploring things that other people normally wouldn’t, breaking new ground. Discovering new things, new horizons, that kind of attitude. Forward thinking. The flip side seems to indicate a lack of trust in yourself and your abilities (again).

Foundation skills, your positive attitudes. 18 Citrine ABUNDANCE
Lovely card to have in this position! With a happy and playful attitude, you have a sense of child-like wonder that is infectious. You bring joy to others with your uplifting spirit and make them feel good.

Weaknesses, deficits. 8 Garnet PASSION
Inability to express your true passions. Could have trouble letting go of inhibitions and fantasies. Sometimes may self-sabotage. Could also indicate unwillingness to take action (procrastinating). I think this indicates a lack of confidence in oneself.

Credits, the riches of your past, what you have learned. 12 Quantum Quattro SYNERGY
Amazing healing power and physical vitality. I think you have a great capacity to deal with anything life throws at you and you can somehow stay optimistic in spite of it all. The other thing I’m getting is that you’re still learning many different things and that as you grow and unite them as it were, you will be a very fully developed and whole person. I think you are still getting there (you are young so you have time ) Like your talents will synergize, sort of thing. Also, I think you are pretty smart and know what makes you feel good and so you take advantage of that, like you know how to heal yourself when you feel down.

Life Path, the new direction your soul wishes to take. 9 Tigers Eye EMPOWERMENT
Yes you knew this was coming This is the quality you need to bring more of into your life. The need to assert oneself (wisely). You need to unlock those talents you are hiding and use them. While being sensible and realistic, meeting all your goals and staying grounded in reality. Stretch yourself and when you find yourself accomplishing goals, you will naturally grow in confidence.
At one level this stone typically indicates creativity so I would think you need to honor your creative spirit - this is very important and central to your being (Correct me if I’m wrong but don’t you have North Node in the 5th house? Expressing your uniqueness is part of your soul mission. For some people it’s children. For others it’s most definitely not children but creative pursuits. Think about yours.)
The bottom line: do what gives you joy (not the joy that comes from eating chocolate chip cookies or similar but a sense of fulfilment type of joy). This increases your sense of well-being. Find time to do it, O Creative One .

Guides, mentors, those who can help. 2 Flint PORTAL POWER
This is Scorpio energy and involves bringing light into the darkness, transformation. It is an earthy frequency so it’s referring to your every day life, as opposed to spirit helpers (not saying you don’t have spirit helpers, just that the focus right now is elsewhere). There is a sense here that you will need to strengthen your energetic boundaries, not let negative people get to you. Distance yourself from the negative people who hold you back (I’m thinking family members or similar who distract you). Surround yourself with supportive people – this is important to maintain your well-being. Strengthen and maintain your boundaries. Be careful about who you spend time with.

All that you are. 34 Moldavite METAMORPHOSIS
This stone represents Scorpio energy again and indicates that you are in a process of overall transformation. You are a child of the stars and an evolving spiritual being with a high energy that can sometimes find physical energy heavy. Remember to get in touch with your soul when you get stuck. As your energy raises, you will feel more like yourself. Heal yourself at all levels for more well-being and remain aware of your divine origins. This card also has a divination meaning that says as you reach for your limits, dramatic changes will occur.
