You want to see how a nation falls? First, make sure every family unit is fucked. The foundation of the beginning of a ruined society is a dysfunctional family unit. A household that is lacking warmth and affection is a breeding house for psychopaths…or sure-victims of them. How is this not obvious to everybody? Well, in our case, I guess the Boomerangs just didn’t care…enough?

An entire generation of selfish psychopaths preoccupied with order and rules, obsessed with the idea of a ‘perfect image’ even at the cost of the authenticity of their children’s Souls. Tell me if they ain’t breeding new generations of psychopaths? But…who fucked the Boomerangs in the first place? And who had fucked the generation that fucked the Boomerangs? 考えきれない。There’s no end to thinking about it. But!

Not all hope is lost. For we have us—OURSELVES! You, who are reading this, who are blessed with this peculiarly RARE thing in the world: self-awareness. That you’re curious about the roots of your sorrow; that you’re trying to be better; that you’re willing to face your own demons so you grow in character, all because you care enough not to perpetuate the cycle.

There is Hope is us. In people like you and I. For this spiritual work alone, you are going to be blessed with the utmost beautiful Love, first, by finding it inside of yourself~

Finding Love for 🐞Fire Signs - Silver Alchemist (Ramon Llull)

5 of Cups, Queen of Wands, XIX The Sun

You know, Fire Signs are passionate. So passionate they often get way too invested in whatever matters to them. That’s why when betrayal or any other kind of a fallout happens, they find it so difficult to calm down, let alone move on from. I want you to know this isn’t a failure of your character or anything like it, not necessarily, no. You care. And that’s a wonderful thing. And it genuinely, usually, takes A LOT to finally get a Fire Sign to stop caring.

That’s the one thing about you: PASSION. Within the context of this reading, could it be that you’ve been putting your passion on the wrong things, the wrong people? Because you’re not a quitter, right? Maybe you’ve had this tendency of wanting to make sure things work out; after all, you’ve invested so much into this thing, project, people, whatever. Not quitting on the wrong things will only drain you of high-vibrational, positive spiritual aenergy left in you, babe. Then…frustrations and sadness are just going to drain you of more physical energy.

Low energy also makes people irritable, unmotivated and non-optimistic, right? Let not the harshness of your connections with people dim your natural brightness. What’s really important to figure out now is how you can shift your focus on being passionate about things, places, work, and people that truly, truly, bring joy and sunshine into your Life~

Finding Love for 🐍Earth Signs - Silver Magus (Merlin)

XV The Devil Rx, 7 of Cups Rx, VI The Lovers Rx

I tend to think that Earth and Water Signs are the TRUE psychopaths of the zodiac LMAO Underdeveloped Taurus, Virgo and Caps are so incredibly selfish and self-centred that they make human interactions such a misery business. And due to the nature of their Earthy-ness—meaning they can be quite hard to shake—Earth Signs can be quite bigoted about certain viewpoints they hold. Within the context of this reading, Earth Signs literally make a hell out of their very own existence through their inability to connect human-to-human with other…humans.

Or is it really an inability? Is it not simply a refusal? An Earth Sign must ponder this upon itself. Maybe you’ve been in refusal to be more empathetic because it is paramount to be empirical in any situation? Perhaps you’re the type of person that values objectivity above all forms of subjectivity? But the Human experience is subjective. Approaching all types of human connection with an eye of business or with the mind of an objective researcher will only hinder your capacity for real empathy.

The Human experience is an empathetic experience. People feel things and sometimes those feelings are heavy and burdensome and they get the better of us—that’s just the reality of being alive XD If you could give yourself the grace of a more subjective point of view when viewing yourself and the many experiences you go through, then maybe it will be that much easier to notice how other people also base their decisions for forming connections through a very subjective lens—and you will see that being this way creates a more true bond between people.

Does all this sound too subversive for logical Earth Signs? XD

Finding Love for ⛲Air Signs - Red Alchemist (John Dee)

XVII The Star, Ace of Cups, 3 of Cups Rx

The Star is associated with Aquarius, right? Whoa, the epitome of Human intelligence :D Air Signs are intelligent and very interested in people—in human relations and understanding what makes people tick. That’s why Air Signs make the best friends and confidants…as long as they don’t run their mouths hahah Now that is a matter of character. What kind of person are you in your friend group(s)? Do you play different characters in different groups? Sounds like a lot of fun XD

Air Signs do tend to have (or belong to) different groups of people depending on function. It’s very interesting. Air Signs can be the glue that connects different groups of people who, without Air Sign, would never have come into contact with one another. Gemini is the fun-loving funny member of a group. Libra is a charming diplomat who’s considerate towards everybody. Aquarius is the pioneering CEO who gets everybody working towards a goal. Ideally, well-developed Air Signs would be these things :D

You should really value this unique intelligence of yours that has the power to eradicate all crazy unreasonable differences in the world, you know. You of all people, I’m very certain, have this keen ability to get to the roots of everybody’s mental problems. After all, you are mental. Air Signs usually don’t get a lot of credits for being empathetic or whatever and that’s true for the most part. But what you do have is this INTEREST in people, and that’s good enough for starters XD It makes you a good person, you know.

Literally, you’re the type that can make friends with just about anybody. You are polite and charming—and those with Venus here are often very beautiful, too!

Finding Love for 🐝Water Signs - Green Astronomer (Nicolaus Copernicus)

VII The Chariot, 3 of Swords, Queen of Cups Rx

Hey, what is your Truth? What experiences and emotions have shaped the being that you are today? Do you know for sure? Have you analysed all the feelings you’ve ever struggled with, as well as those that make you realise, Life truly is worthwhile? It’s those moments you’re reminded of what’s good about your Life that you feel gratitude, isn’t it so? Alongside nostalgia and the desire to return to a much simpler time. Time when feelings were a lot easier to process, perhaps. But Life, and this world, needs to keep going on as per Universal Mandate.

What’s left in the past can still be regenerated in the future and it can get even better, too—now that you’ve grown up. Now that you’ve healed a little, or a lot. Heartbreaks with Water Signs always heal when we return to the pool of our authenticity, located deep in the core of our being. Therein lies the tears and the beauty that make you such a deeply compelling character to converse with. If Humans aren’t ready to listen to your truths, write about them; turn emotions into songs or poetry or painting; what have you. Water needs to flow somewhere. Nourishing a lot of life from there.

Water Signs, are Love. Nurturer of Life and nourisher of Human emotions. You should really appreciate the poetry of your sheer existence. So, don’t let this world convince you that there’s something wrong with you because you’re sensitive enough to care about a lot. That’s your strength. It just needs to be directed and redirected to the right things/occasions/people and places. Be generous with your Love and compassion, but take no shit from those who can’t learn to be grateful for a Love as rare and precious as yours~ Know your worth, babe. You’re worth a gazillion dimes.

Snow Day PAP

What do you need to reflect on?

Reading done: Jan. 9, 2024

Decks used: Rider Waite Smith, The Wild Unknown, Spirit Halloween

I thought it would be fun to do a pick-a-pile reading today. I'm using three different tarot decks for these readings. I've placed three crystals on each deck as well to give more energy into the reading. Focus on the energy of each pile and go for the one you feel intuitively drawn to.

Pile 1: Rose Quartz

Ace of Wands [-> Page of Wands, King of Swords, Ace of Swords], The Empress, VI of Pentacles, IV of Cups [-> The Lovers]

You may have been feeling a bit impulsive lately, especially with your spending habits. You've been very generous during this past holiday season, but now you're wondering if it was worth it. You're used to being the provider, and you're wondering when it will be time for others to give back to you.

This Empress card can also deal with fertility, so if you've been a bit too impulsive, you might want to be a little more cautious. Being snowed in can bring boredom a bit too easily.

A new creative vision or project will have you feeling a stronger sense of personal power. Communicating your ideas clearly will be beneficial to you. Perhaps you've been wanting a baby, or to take your relationship to the next level. Take the time to make a decision and then communicate effectively.

If you've been waiting to act on your crush, make sure you do so with a clear head.

The overall lesson is to pause before communicating your thoughts and ideas. Whether it's for business or personal relationships, concise thoughts lead to progress.

Pile 2: Blue Calcite

Son of Swords [-> Mother of Wands, II of Pentacles], Daughter of Cups [->II of Wands]

I'm getting the sense of two separate people here. One who is determined in achieving their goals and may even be a bit too forceful with them. They person comes off as very intelligent and usually grounded. On the other hand, there's someone who is quite the opposite: very creative and in tune with their emotions. This person might have trouble staying grounded. Each of these people can learn from one another.

For this first person, they're doing all of this because there's something they're protecting. Perhaps they're used to being the provider, or being provided for, and they have a lot to prove. New job prospects might be making them feel more possessive during this time. They need to embrace this change and have faith in themself.

For this second person, they're really feeling that sense of direction. Perhaps they lacked it in the past as their head was always swimming with new ideas. This person should be aware of their thought patterns at this time if they want to realize their goals. They should try to be more positive towards themself.

What's the lesson they can learn from each other? -> IX of Pentacles

Loyalty and devotion. By devoting themselves they'll be able to create the happiness they deserve. This could be a happy home, a happy career, or even a happy life. Perhaps even together. It takes a lot of hard work to pay this off, but both individuals are used to this. If they rely on each other, maybe even take a note out of each other's books, they can find this harmony.

Pile 3: Peacock Ore

[The Hermit, Eight of Swords] -> The Star

Note that I'm using the Spirit Halloween deck. It's very novelty and the art rarely matches the meaning of the cards. I'm feeling drawn to using the imagery for this reading so it will be partially that and mainly my intuition from the cards.

This snow day is a perfect day of reflection for you. Spend some time alone with your thoughts to get them in order. You may have been feeling ostracized as of late, so alone time may not seem welcoming, but I urge you to sit with it. Find solace in it. It may be uncomfortable, but it's necessary.

You stand out from the crowd, and this may make you feel like a victim at times but know that you are glorious within. Removing yourself from the crowd may be necessary to sit with your individuality and learn to appreciate it.

There's a brightness inside you that is full of hope. You can share this with others, but it's important to love yourself first. (I saw a tiktok the other day of someone living in a European country discussing a cultural difference of how competition amongst others can bring resentment and it's fueled by insecurity. She said, "I can't be your friend until you are your own friend first". That's immediately coming to mind here.) Use the time of quiet and stillness to learn to love yourself. Pour into you before you pour into others, this way your cup doesn't become empty.

Closing message of this reading: The Tower, The Sun

Building up your confidence will prevent unwanted energy from shaking you. Let the lightning strikes in the background of this Tower moment to ignite the fire within you. Rest is needed to be reborn.

war deities - ares

ares: greek god of war, bloodshed, & courage

"not ares, who is a god immortal, not even athene could take the edge of such masses of men and fight a way through them." - homer's illiad.

out of all the gods, ares was the most unpopular on mt. olympus due to his aggressiveness, bad temper, and constant need for conflict. additionally, ares is often featured being humiliated in some sort of way in most of his myths.

while ares is depicted as being a very selfish, bloodthirsty god, he was protective and very loyal to hera.

ares & heracles

cycnus, the son of ares & pelopia, was favored by ares due to his violent nature. he was said to slaughter any unlucky traveler he came across to use their skulls to build a temple dedicated to his father.

heracles was either ordered to kill cycnus by apollo or fought him after being challenged by cycnus himself.

upon his son's death, ares flew into a rage. he fought heracles, nearly winning until athena stepped in to protect heracles. heracles was under athena's protection for quite a while out of fear he would be killed. athena warned ares about his temper, but he refused to hear it. deimos and phobos had to help ares, leading him away from the brutal scene with nothing but a bruised ego, countless injuries, and one less child.

another version of this tale states that cycnus fought heracles with help from ares. the battle ended in a stalemate, as zeus broke up the fight with one of his thunderbolts. later on, ares confronted heracles in a later altercation over in the greek city of pylos. ares, in common theme with a lot of his myths, was gravely wounded and defeated.

the areopagus

alcippe, a daughter of ares and aglaulus, was either assaulted by or nearly assaulted by halirrhothius, a son of poseidon. ares killed halirrhothius to avenge alcippe. poseidon, angered that ares slaughtered his son, took ares and had him tried for halirrhothius' death in athens.

ares was acquitted from the murder charge (slay king). the hill he was tried on, was referred to as areopagus - meaning the hill of ares. athenians tried numerous cases on this hill due to this myth.

Hello hope you are doing fine

I would like a reading please 🙏🏽 what my spirit guides want to say to me ?

Thank you so much for giving your time and energy 💕 have a nice day/night

Hi!

Thank you so much for your patience!

For you, I drew two cards from my Forager’s Daughter tarot.

First, I asked how your guides see you/what kind of person do they see you as. For this I got the King of Wands. This card speaks of an energetic and friendly person, confident in their own beliefs

Secondly I asked what advice or tips did they have you for, and drew the Eight of Pentacles. They remind you to work hard at your goals, that just because it may be easy to cut corners doesn’t mean you should. Take care in ensuring each part of your plans in life are completed to the best of your ability.

Of course, nothing is set in stone and the cards offer one possible message.

Hope this helps,

Abalancedrose.

Pygmalion and Galatea Tarot Pick a Pile

In the Greek myth of Pygmalion and his sculpture Galatea who through divine intervention becomes a real woman, we are presented with an artist king of Cyprus who has spurned love, women, and desire for companionship. Completely turned off by the women of his country he decided that he would never marry or find love. However, depending upon the version of the myth he either creates or is given a statue of such beauty that he calls upon the Goddess of Love, and the patron of his island to bring him a wife that is of equal beauty, having found that he wants to have a companion just like her. Aphrodite turns the statue into a person and the two get married and have a daughter.

Photo by Quino Al on Unsplash

Like all Greek myths this myth has many iterations, but they all follow a similar theme even if some elements change. One element that has been added over time is naming the statue. In the myth, the statue isn't named, but over time we have given her the same name as a nymph who is the unrequited love of Polyphemus. Galatea means "Milky White" which would be the color of the marble she would have been sculpted out of. Another key feature is that Pygmalion decides he no longer wants the type of love that the women of Cyprus are willing to give. He finds them depraved. This has been read in many ways and all are valid. Misogyny, that he only wants a woman who can't speak to him, or he is a misogynist who learned the error of his ways and wants companionship from women at the end. Or another form of narcissism, the artist who can only love something that is a reflection of himself.

While all those are valid interpretations of the myth. I'd like to explore the story in a different way. Aphrodite is a goddess of Love and Beauty. Pygmalion lived on Cyprus, her home island and he shunned love and the rest of his people on the island to create his statues. He created his own beauty because he decided the people were too ugly and vulgar. The statue of Galatea is often a divine inspiration, not something he decided to create but something that is created in a manic drive. He falls in love with the statue's beauty and asks Aphrodite to bring him a wife as beautiful as the statue. In the end, the statue is brought to life and he marries Galatea and has a daughter with her, rejoining his community. How many of us turn away from everyone and everything when we decide that things have turned too ugly for us to face. To me, this can also be interpreted as a story of facing the fear of the ugliness of the world to accept the truth of the beauty that is also found in it. Because we can't lock ourselves away, no matter how badly we want to.

I know that this is a bit of a more positive spin than a lot of the interpretations you might encounter, but I am not a Greek mythology scholar. Just someone who has fun with literary interpretations and tarot readings. So I will also do a tarot draw today based on this interpretation of this story. Today we are going to do a three-card reading of what fear you need to let go of, what it is you need to help you succeed, the guiding muse on this path

Pick one of the three images of Pygmalion and Galatea and your reading will be below

1. Pygmalion and Galatea by Jean Leon Gerome(1824-1904)

Two of Wands, Page of Swords, Six of Wands

You have a fear of making a big decision that could push you further ahead toward a big reward or some type of goal that is outside your comfort zone. Making changes is difficult, scary, and change can be hard to process. But without necessary change there can be no growth, without taking risks there can be no rewards. What can help you process your fear and the thing you need to focus on is all your exciting new ideas and all the amazing new adventures that can be had if you do take that risk. Sometimes it can help to try to look at something with fresh eyes and from a different angle or even seek out advice from someone who might not have the same level of investment or experience to get a whole new perspective on your situation to help you reframe everything and overcome the fear you are experiencing that is stopping you from moving forward. Your guiding muse is knowing the type of recognition and acclaim you will receive at the end of this process. You will be celebrated for the work you have put in and that fuels you to continue on.

2. Pygmalion in love with his statue by Jean-Baptiste Regnault(1754-1829)

Eight of Swords, Eight of Cups, Ace of Wands

Your fear is consuming you with negative thoughts. It is like you have been caught up in life's game and you are nothing but a pawn to be played with. Just a piece to be cast aside or sacrificed when it is useful. The fear of catastrophe is crippling you and keeping you from living your life to its fullest. You need to let go of everything that isn't serving you and move on from it. Whether it is a relationship, a job, or a project, the Eight of Cups is calling you to move on. It can be hard, but the negativity of the situation could be contributing to the catastrophic thinking and world outlook you are having difficulty escaping from. Look to your muse which could be anything from a new opportunity to something new that entered your life that is bringing a spark of inspiration, and open yourself up to new passions and inspirations in both the physical, emotional, and spiritual realms.

3. Porcelain Group of Pygmalion and Galatea by Etienne-Maurice Falconete (1716-1719)

Five of Cups, Six of Pentacles, King of Pentacles

The fear that plagues you is that you might be a disappointment, that your actions might cause you regret, or that your endeavors might end it a total failure. This fear of disappointing those around you or disappointing yourself causes you to not act, or to not be as open as you might want to be. However, it is important to remember how much you have to give, and how much people appreciate you and what you do for them. You have a lot to offer, even if it doesn't feel like much to you, or it feels inadequate. Utilize your guiding muse here and have confidence in your knowledge and abilities. You are successful and have a proven track record. People trust you and when you make mistakes and own them people trust you more. If you are feeling unstable, look to someone who embodies the qualities you also want to bring into the world, it will help be a beacon for you.

Thank you all for reading my Greek myth interpretation and then the tarot readings. I've been trying to combine the things I love in different ways and I hope you all enjoy it too!

Please share any info or any of your favorite myths from anywhere with me or any of your favorite divination or witchy stuff. I love learning about things.

[cheerstotheelites-if]

Could you explain how does astrology magic work please?

Finally I can talk about how insane and endangered this magic is.

This a Blessed Magic. Currently only three members of the family blessed by the late god of fate and his son the god of stars are left and still actively using it. This magic is at the risk of dying out because of it, since the oldest member has no heir, the eldest daughter has no intent on marrying, and the youngest daughter is too busy with college to fully learn.

Tarot is a common practice in this family, often asking the Arcana or the Zodiac for divination or for any glimpses to the future. Having also the Blessing of the god of fate, they can change fate; either weaving it to another, aligning it to something else, or even cutting it off.

The Top Ten's Number 1 has been in his position for 12 years because of his magic. Seeing that it's a Blessed magic, MC won't be able to access all of its full potential nor learn all it, but they will be able to do a few things Number 1 will teach them.

Summoning

If Necromancers summon fiends, Astrologists can summon either their Zodiac or the major Arcana that represent them

An astral guide or an assistant in finding answers, or glimpses to the future, or hell, even fighting

They have a will of their own, so don't be bossy to them

These are servants of the god of fate and the god of stars respectively, and they expect respect from you, since they are a) centuries older than you with way more power, b) work directly under gods, c) you are asking them for help and their time to assist you from their busy schedules, so always say thankful to them that they answered your call despite it

Tarot Deck

You'll have your very own Tarot deck for free

Can be used for divination or combat

You can summon things from the cards, like the Swords, the Wands, the Penticles, and the Cups to assist you in battle or for any other means

They are lesser servants in the Arcana, but still treat them with respect

You will be using this to summon your major Arcana too if you ever need them

Astral Summons

Ever wanted to summon the star bears Big Dipper and Little Dipper and let them maul your enemies? Now you can

You can summon the Astral Beasts or one of the Astral Weapons from the sky itself wield them or let them assist yoh

They'll disappear back into star dustonce their use is done, they become extremely injured, or they're broken

It's very hard to actually injure or destroy Astral Summons, but you'll never know when that could happen

All of them look normal, until you see the insides of an Astral Beast's mouth or the inner workings of an Astral Weapon, and see their constellation inside

THE QUEEN’S INTRO

THE FOUR QUEENS – WANDS, CUPS, SWORDS AND PENTACLES

The Queens in the Tarot represent the Watery part of their Suit. They apply their feelings and emotions (Water) to the natural way they approach life as directed by their governing element.  Their focus is inward.  Therefore they are more relaxed in general and not as outwardly active and demonstrative in the world as their male counterparts, the Kings.  This is not to say that they are passive and introverted.  On the contrary these Queens are extremely dynamic in their own way.  They are multi-faceted and multi-talented.

This is because they are representing the archetypal personalities of mature women: wives, mothers, sisters, friends, home-makers, carers, nurturers.  The Queens are also representing the modern woman of the world today. The women who study, have a career, run a business and live independently.  The Queens have the ability to combine all these aforementioned qualities without forsaking their own inner essence.  They are the peace-keepers and mediators in each of the Royal Tarot Families.

On the Kabalistic Tree of Life the Four Queens reside in the 3rd Sephira,Binah along with the Four Threes of The Minor Arcana.  See The Kabbalah section for information on The meaning of each Sephira.

The Rank of Queen in the Court Card Family display her as:

Wife, partner or consort to the King

Mother/Step Mother or Carer to both the Page and Knight

Daughter of an older Queen

Sister to all

Friend to all

In the above roles her governing element along with whether she is reversed or not will play a major part in how she conducts her relationships within and without the family and how she deals with situations that arise out of same.  The Queen must play many roles.

She is no different from any modern-day woman who is trying to maintain balance in her life by multi-tasking and trying to find time for all, including herself.  As you explore the individual personalities of these four Queens some will feel very familiar to you and studying them will be a doddle.  This is because we already know these women.  We have met them before on many occasions.  We might recognise our self in one or possibly parts of us in all, one might be your mother, your sister, your partner, friend, boss or work colleague.  You might recognise your old school teacher, neighbour, the woman who runs the shop down the road or even the nurse who cared for you when you had surgery last year.

SUB-PERSONALITIES

It is important to note here that each Queen represented will possess quite strong personality traits as a result of her governing element even though they will have been Watered down or tempered by the influence of Water.  These qualities may seem excessive or overpowering at times but we must understand that in real life we generally have a mix of the elements.  Some of our sub-personalities will be more prominent than others but it is this vital mix that balances our personalities to create our main personality .  The combination of our Primary Personality (Main Fire/Water/Air/Earth) mixed with our Sub-Personalities (lesser Fire/Water/Air/Earth) are vital if we are to function efficiently and successfully in our world.  Any of the Court Card personalities on their own in real life would either be over-powering or un-believable.  We do at times encounter people who have one element in abundance and we usually refer to these people as having very strong personalities. We all know this can be either a blessing or a curse.

FAMILIAR FACES

Remember, you are not looking at scientific formulas or theorems here.  You have been exposed to these Queens as some point in your life since the day you were born. True, some may not be as familiar to you as others and this is because you are not or have not been exposed to them as much as the rest.  You may however have cause to be in the future though so getting to grips with their personalities and sub-personalities can help your develop healthier relationships with people in general.  We tend to naturally gravitate to elemental personalities who are either the same as or are compatible with our own element.  Therefore these archetypal Queens will be more familiar to you and easier to incorporate into a reading.  You must learn how to identify with these Queens and relate them to personalities in your own life.  Once you do, you will instantly understand their presence in a reading and be able to communicate their message.  The same applies to all Court Cards.

For example, if you have identified your friend as the Page of Cups because of her or his loving and sensitive nature.  You know only too well that your friend is quite idealistic about love and falls into it too easily.  You know how hurt and upset your friend gets when they get dumped and their magic bubble bursts.  So, when the Page of Cups comes up in a reading for someone enquiring about their new relationship you know how excited and happy they must feel once the surrounding cards look encouraging.  If the Page of Cups is reversed in the Near Future or Outcome Position you know how devastated they are going to be when things don’t work out. You will also know how they are likely to behave as a result.  You are all too familiar with how your friend reacts on such occasions. With all this inner knowledge of archetypal personalities you can actually be quite predictive.  The remaining cards in the reading will fill in the missing pieces of the jigsaw which is of course the Querant’s story.

The above example is based on the Court Card representing a person.  Remember in the Tarot that the Minor Arcana tell you what is happening, The Court Cards tell you who it is happening to and the Major tell us why it is happening..

It would be wise at this stage to go back over Lesson I of the Court Cards to revisit the various ways to interpret a Court Card.  The Court Cards can be tricky and do take a lot of practice so don’t give up on them to soon.  They are important players in the tarot.  Just like a movie with no actors would be boring if not strange, the Tarot is no different.

SO LET US NOW LOOK AT THE FOUR QUEENS

The Queens are women, aspects of the Querant (sometimes even when the Querant is a man), approaches to life, atmospheres or advice given. The Queen of Wands represents a confident, enthusiastic woman with great inner strength and courage. The Queen of Cups, sensitive, loving, intuitive and very creative. The Queen of Swords, quick minded, chatty, organised with a tendency to be self-critical. The Queen of Pentacles, stable, practical, methodical, reliable and connected to nature and the animal kingdom.

Multiple Queens in a layout can suggest – Women’s Groups, Support of friends,  Gossip, Envy, too much of the feminine influence, lack of opposite sex, being too inwardly focussed.

Three Queens –  Powerful Important Women or Friends, Support, Bitchiness

Two Queens – Close friends, rivals, opposing needs in the Querant or of friends

Several Reversed Queens can suggest groups of unfriendly women who are demoralising belittling or awkward.  Gossip and bitching.  Two Reversed Queens can highlight arch enemies or love rivals.

Absence of Queens – Being too outwardly focussed, lack of feminine touch, lack of caring or nurturing, too much masculine influence, lack of friends and caring support.

Seven of Wands. Art by Camila Quintana, from The Jasmine Dragon Tarot.

Kori Morishita is the Seven of Wands. If you missed her, she’s from The Promise comic, she’s the daughter of the Mayor Morishita of Yu Dao (fire nation citizen) and his wife (earth kingdom citizen), this is important I promise.

After the last episode of the series we see the Fire Nation trying to make amends and one of their attempts was removing fire nation colonies from the Earth Kingdom. But as it happens, some of those places, like Yu Dao had already adopted a lifestyle that integrated both cultures, and the idea of breaking that apart was not an option.

This is why I chose Kori, this card means challenge, competition, protection and perseverance, which are all the things she had to go through to protect her heritage in her hometown of Yu Dao.

I spent april drawing my friends and i’s dnd characters as tarot cards and dare i say it? they fuck severely.

shout out to the mysterious sixth member who we know Nothing about beyond the fact that he’s represented by the fucking Tower

(check under the cut for character info and cards meaning)

Shardinë ‘Sardine’ / The Fool (new beginnings, innocence, spontaneity, free spirit)

She/her. A 19 year old fish person raised by an elderly fishmonger on an isolated island. This adventure is her first time leaving her grandmother, and somehow she’s the most competent of the five anyway.

Mercenaire / Seven of Wands (challenge, protection, perseverance)

He/him. A 38 year old one-armed mercenary with a protective streak a miles wide. Standing at 6′11 feet, he’s considered tiny for the clan of giant dragon worshipers from which he was banished. Believes himself to be cursed to bring bad luck and death to those who hear his name and see his face. Completely face blind. A dad and a friend!

Dukaan / The Tower (upheaval, chaos, disaster)

He/him, and that’s all we know

Ménéhyl of Stormwind / The Star (hope, faith, renewal)

She/her. 20 year old, yet the most naive of the group. Dreams of a fairy tale romance. The daughter of rich textile merchants from a hyper-religious queendom that abhors the very concept of death, she’s recently been revealed to have Death Magic, so you can imagine the kind of stress she’s under

Zarïa ‘Juvisy’ / Justice reversed (dishonesty, unaccountability, unfairness)

She/her. The 19 year old runaway princess of a recently overthrown kingdom. She’s vain, hates men, loves money, and is constantly running away from the consequences of her own actions, from lying about her real name to hiring Mercenaire to protect her and then sending guards after him when his price ended up too high and he took all her money. Currently spying on Oriû on behalf of people who would much rather see him dead.

Oriû, son of Galat / Judgement (judgement, rebirth, inner calling, absolution)

He/him. A 25 year old rebel from the people that Zarïa’s kind has been oppressing for over a century. A poet with a strong sense of right and wrong, he’d like to be nonviolent but will not stand idle in the face of injustice. The rebellion he’s a part of is directly responsible for the death of Zarïa’s family — but they’re not aware of that yet. Ménéhyl accidentally killed his brother with her newfound powers but he’s being a good sport about it.

[hearthandheathenry]

hi, how r u?

If u doing a reading, will love one

I m hs. Been in a new place and struggling to make friends. Made one recently, he is MS. We are close but somethings are still amiss

Want to know if my friendship or bond will grow stronger like best friends and stay? ( Not love but real good friends)

Thanks

Hey there! I'm sorry if this has been sitting for a long time, I just saw that I received an ask!

I'm doing very well, thank you for asking, and I hope your life will also get better in time! High school is hard for everyone, especially if you're in a new place, so don't forget to give yourself some grace. If it makes you feel better, I was in an abusive relationship and miserable all 4 years of highschool, and now I am married to my highschool best friend who is so kind, with a beautiful daughter and watching my dreams come true! So, even if some mistakes are made, we all come to a point in our lives where we can choose to really turn things around and go after everything we want! If you're in a position to do so, I would highly recommend doing so earlier rather than later in life, but know that things will unfold as they're meant to and you will find your power at the right time (and who knows, maybe its now!) If you would ever like some wisdom from someone whos been there and done that and experienced many things and witnessed many things, please don't hesitate to ever ask for advice! I will never give advice I am uneducated on, so I can always direct you to proper resources that may help if I dont have an answer for you. (And this goes for anyone who may want to reach out to me - you are not alone and I will always be a shoulder to lean on when needed!)

To answer your question, I do one card tarot pulls while shuffling until a card literally jumps out while I channel your question, and my guides have chosen to deliver the 9 of wands out of my deck. The 9 of wands specifically represents: "last-minute challenges on your way to your goal. You have come a long way and are determined to not give up now. With your goal in sight, you find the courage and tenacity for one final push. You have been given a last chance to prove you are worthy of success and it is up to you to rise to the challenge."

In terms of general meaning of the 9 of wands, wand cards represent action, creativity, energy, enterprise, intuition, hope, and potential. They also represent the timeframe of days, springtime (so now), and fire.

My personal interpretation of the card plus your question, is that anxiety or other factors may be affecting you and holding you back from furthering your friendship and creating lasting bonds in this new place. You are understandably nervous and unsure in such a new environment, but my age-old wisdom knows that having confidence and the strength to be yourself will get you the best results, and the most authentic and best of friends. Perhaps you haven't let your guard down with your friend, or may be fronting someone you think he will like more than your authentic self. Take a deep breath, assess your actions, and make the conscious effort to just be you, without fear of losing your friend. If he is meant to be around you, he will accept you for who you are, and will love being your best friend. The same will apply to making other new friends as well. Exude confidence, work on loving yourself, and in turn you will be magnetic and welcoming to others around you. People will feel your warmth, and authenticity is the strongest vibration we exude (seriously, there's been studies! Even stronger than love!) The universe seems to be giving you a great opportunity for self growth and achieving what you want, it just needs you to have the courage to go after it and grasp it! Its a great lesson and will help you evolve and grow in the long run.

From a personal opinion, If you miss this opportunity, don't beat yourself up too harshly. Sometimes we just aren't ready, and life will always be throwing new opportunities our way (the universe wants to see us grow!) But if you can manage to find the strength to grow into your power and overcome your fears, amazing things can happen! Best of luck to you on your journey, and don't hesitate to let me know if you need anything else!

[sixthwater]

Hiii! I followed your personal account, had no idea that you had a tarot & astro blog ahahah

Anyways, I saw you're using the tarot of the divine deck and I had a weird question about it… I got that deck about two or three months ago because I saw it on a youtube pac and I fell in love with it but I have a bit of an issue with it because I feel like it gives me answers that are complete gibberish lol.

I may not be the best reader but when I use different decks, I often see that there is something to the cards I draw (like the theme or similarities between the cards etc), even if I'm having hard time interpreting it. But with this deck it's different, it feels super random. And it doesn't help that some of the imaginery is very extreme (like 10 of swords in this deck, I just cannot read it in a positive or neutral way… and I had it come up as a positive thing)

So my question kind of is, how do you find this deck? And did ever had issues like that with other decks?

Ok I'm now gonna binge-read your pacs haha, loved the last one btw

Hi!!! Really quickly I really enjoy your astrology posts but I'm pretty sure you've figured that out by now but also my bad,,,,,sometimes I treat notifs here like my phone notifs and I forget to check back in fjkdl;sajifeja

So the Tarot of the Divine is actually one of my strongest decks, but I don't use it a lot because it likes romance, and I don't do a lot of romance readings unless it's for my friends or it happens to want to be picked up. I actually didn't believe in the whole deck personality thing until I got three decks and they answered my daily pulls very differently and I started to pick up on it so glad I figured it out before I got this one. (I'm gonna give like two examples)

The thing with this deck is that, for it, it kind of relies on the stories associated with it, to the point that it can slightly change the strength or interpretation of the cards (realizing my horror deck does this too, sorting these under dramatic decks). The 10 of Swords is one of my favorite actually. There's a lot to her but this went with the one involving her father. There's a range of different reasons leading up to why her father took her out to sea to push her off the boat, cutting off her fingers to ensure she drowns, but it always ends the same: in one way or another she is able to grow into something that gives back in a way (she becomes the goddess of the sea, her limbs become animals that the Inuit can then hunt, etc). So it's a betrayal that can give way to a mindset of revenge, but subconsciously along the way the person will have paths open up along the way that can help others along the way or they'll grow significantly from it, yet their mindset is currently clouded until they can heal, but it's not as blunt as most 10 of Swords are.

3 of Swords is another one of my favorite cards because it doesn't directly mean heartbreak but more trust broken between lovers or people. It's a really sad beautiful Japanese tale (The Crane Wife) that relies on someone trusting their spouse who disappears for long bouts of time in order to make something that they can sell for stability, but his curiosity / paranoia gets the best of him, he breaks his promise, and then she has to leave.

9 of Swords is the funniest to me bc it's associated with when Oedipus finds out about his son (so overthinking leading directly to your downfall), 8 of Cups is associated with Moses so it has a more spiritual undertone, 10 of Wands is bittersweet because its about a father who searched for his missing daughter alone until he died and a tree grew from his bones (so I associate that more with family or people who rely on you), 7 of Wands associated with John Henry so pretty almost on point, 9 of Cups I no longer can find romantic when using this deck because it's about a guy basically becoming what the woman wants (because she does not like men) in order to connect with her (so....wish fulfillment? but I used it for a first date reading and it was very insightful), and 3 of Wands is actually one of the cutest cards in this deck because it's about a girl who gets her husband taken so she sets out on a journey to get him back no matter the obstacles in front of her because of the deadline (I think three days or smth)

I actually have way more problems with the original Rider-Waite deck. I haven't wanted to get it until recently so I can go general spreads for wider audiences so they can pick up messages they might need themselves, but it feels like A House in astrology, whereas other tarot decks feel like The Signs. I can get my messages from Rider-Waite but it like...ends there LMAO meanwhile I can get a whole painted story in different ways from my other decks, so I usually try and use my rider deck alongside something else

I absolutely adore tarot challenges by @healer.josephine 🌞 For this month I’ll be jumping into Manifesting with Ease August Tarot Challenge to release blocks to abundance & claim your full manifestation power. ✨ I am using The Forager’s Daughter Tarot - The Afterlight Edition by @jessicaleihoward 🌻 If you wanna join please use the hashtag #manifestationtarotchallenge 🦁 🌞🌻🦁✨🧙‍♀️🪄🧙‍♂️✨🦁🌻🌞 Part One: Current Beliefs 9. What does abundance mean to me? 8 OF WANDS Again, ouch. I’m knee deep in shadow work over here. I never learned how to be wise with my money. I picked up bad habits and it is now demanding my attention. Until this moment (where I am trying to find a new definition), I had associated abundance with fleeting. Perhaps this started in my undergrad years when I would get a bit back from my pell grant before I used it up. Every semester I would get a rush of money and with it a rush of pleasure. And just as quick it was gone. I would say I was being wise with it buying what I called investments (iPod, computer, accordion, etc) since I bought lasting items. But had I truly been wise, I would have started a savings account. It’s hard for me to trust abundance because it ebbs and flows so much in my life. But what if I used that ebb and flow to my advantage? Dare I have the discipline for that? My shadow relishes the rush and the childish irresponsibility. I am face to face with it and it’s uncomfortable. I shall continue doing the work. 🌞🌻🦁✨🧙‍♀️🪄🧙‍♂️✨🦁🌻🌞 #bewitchedsunflower #tarotchallenge #healerjosephine #theforagersdaughtertarot #theforagersdaughterafterlight #successfulkickstarter #jessicaleihoward #augustmagic #tarotreadersofinstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/ChTRRoPMYmA/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

FRONT DESK HOROSCOPES

by Stephanie Maltez

The cards drawn up this month are from The Wild Unknown Tarot Deck & Guidebook by Kim Krans

Cancer, Happy Birthday!!

8 of Wands -- Sudden Movement or Change The Eight of Wands strikes like lightening. It’s a card of news, change, or clarity in an unresolved situation. You might hear from an old friend out of the blue or receive some surprising news that shifts the direction of your course. This card sometimes means literal movement is on the horizon, so be ready to travel if the opportunity arises.

…and Happy Early Birthday Leo!

The Hanged Man -- Sacrifice / Letting Go Many people talk about the art of “letting go.” But what does it really mean? How do you achieve it? The hanged man has all the answers; he’s the master of non-attachment. This card implies there’s a sacrifice or a difficult or painful situation coming up in your life. Though you naturally want to resist and struggle through it, be more like the hanged man. Find stillness, open your eyes, and use this new perspective o learn something. You’re stuck here either way.

Virgo

Daughter of Wands -- Visionary/ Passionate The Daughter of Wands is a free spirit, a truly visionary creature. She usually waits until later to settle down or start a family, as she’s busy with her career. She can be stubborn and much stronger than she looks. As with all the Wands family, the Daughter makes a dangerous enemy. This card can also represent a woman going through a transformation or spiritual breakthrough.

Libra

9 of Wands -- Strength, Stamina, Confidence

As nines usually imply, your journey is near completion. But on this final stretch you find yourself growing weary; doubt and fear are running through your mind. The Nine of Wands asks you to rally your confidence and realize how far you’ve come. Lift your eyes and take a few more steps…soon all your hard work will start to pay off.

Scorpio

The Hermit -- Solitude/Meditation The idea of being a ‘hermit’ is not supported in our society, but in the realm of tarot hermits are highly celebrated and valued creatures. Through meditation, solitude, and stillness they bring wisdom to all. When this card appears, it’s time to step back from the business of day-to-day life and focus on your inner realm. Become more self-aware. If you’re intrigued by meditation, start now. Spend time by yourself. Your inner fire is ready to be lit…it will shine for all to see.

Sagittarius

Son of Pentacles -- Loyal, Quiet, Dedicated The good side of the son of pentacles is that he’s loyal and determined. He’s inventive and can be trusted wholeheartedly. But sometimes this figure becomes stubborn and persistent to a fault. This, combined with his quiet nature, results in his being hard to get to know and socially awkward at times. He commonly has only one or two close friends rather than many.

Capricorn

Ace of Pentacles -- Prosperous Beginnings In the center of even the giant redwood trees…a tiny seedling once stood. Such is the energy of the Ace of Pentacles – it’s the seed that takes root, grounding you for the future. You’re in the beginning phases of a prosperous venture. Stay grounded. Go outside and take time to appreciate nature. You may also find a windfall of wealth headed your way.

Aquarius

The World -- Wholeness, Completion The World is the final card in the journey of the Major Arcana. It signifies completion, harmony, and contentment. It’s rare to experience this energy, as we are usually consumed by wanting, needing, and achieving. So when this card appears, contemplate for a moment the idea of “being whole.” Focus on the image on the card… Close your eyes and envision this radiating energy inside you. What does it feel like? Where is it located? What blocks you from feeling a sense of “wholeness” each and every day of your life?

Pisces

The Moon -- Vivid Dreams and Fears In Many ways the Moon card encompasses the idea of The Wild Unknown. It is the shadow realm, the place where dreams, fears, and mysteries are born. Much darkness can linger here, and if you aren’t careful, this can lead to periods of anxiety and self-doubt …almost as though you’ve lost your way in a house of mirrors. Many great artists have roamed this inner landscape. It’s where imagination and creativity drift freely upon the midnight air.

Aries

Temperance -- Healing, Renewal The great blue heron remains calm and peaceful as she blends the opposing elements of fire and water. The Temperance card asks you to be a moderator much like the heron. Focus on cooperation and compromise. If you’ve been excessive in one aspect of your life, practice self-restraint and moderation now. You’ll find a new sense of healing and balance from brining a little harmony back into your life.

Taurus

Death -- Closure, Transformation. No one loves the sight of the Death card in a reading. We spend most of our lives denying death altogether …so when this card appears, it’s easy to get frightened or think it’s “bad.” Don’t let the drama distract you from the message: something in your life needs to end. It needs closure. This will happen voluntarily or involuntarily. Either way, you will feel a positive transformation begin after the initial forms of suffering have passed.

Gemini

The Star -- Hope, Peace of Mind. Standing outside on a dark night, you gaze up at the stars and sense glimmers of wonder and hope. Even though you can’t find concrete answers to life’s many questions up there in the sky, you can’t help but feel comforted and renewed. Such is the energy of the star card. It is not about actions or situations. It’s simply about connecting to the part of you that is hopeful and serene. This force will bring light back into your life and infuse you with positivity. A lovely card.

[thecrackedamethyst]

And, because I don’t want to neglect the men, here’s a few for male witches (I haven’t been able to find nearly as many!):

Abdecian: Means “to get by asking,” as in a magic spell. (Disclaimer: I have no idea where I got this name. I had it written in my notes, and I remember finding it somewhere, but when I searched it I got mainly my own content on various websites. So… idk.)

Abraxas: A magic word found throughout Greek magic spells as a name of power. The name of the “Great Archon” in Gnosticism, also the name of one of the horses of the Sun. Etymology uncertain. Also spelled Abrasax.

Alaric: Germanic, “all-powerful.”

Alistair: Scottish variant on Alexander, meaning “defender of mankind.” Similar to the chosen name of a certain famous occultist.

Altair: The brightest star in Aquila. Means “eagle.”

Amergin: A druid in Irish mythology, “born of song.”

Aspen: A white tree, associated with fairies. Its leaves turn golden in the fall, and they appear to “shimmer” in the breeze.

Arawn: The Welsh lord of the Otherworld and the dead, and leader of the Wild Hunt. Etymology uncertain; might be a variant of the Hebrew Aaron, “exaulted.”

Aurelius: Latin, “golden.”

Belenus: Pan-Celtic god of light and healing identified with Apollo, who gave his name to Beltane. Means “shining one.”

Briar: Refers to thorny bushes. Same fairy-tale associations.

Eliphas: Hebrew, “God is agile.” The pen name of the famous occultist Alphonse Constant.

Gwydion: Means “born of trees,” a magician and trickster god in Welsh mythology.

Hemlock: A poisonous herb used in spells.

Hunter: Self-explanatory. Modern witchcraft tends to involve the worship of forest gods associated with hunting.

Mabon: Welsh, “divine son,” a figure in Arthurian legend. His name was given to the autumn equinox in modern paganism.

Maddock: Welsh, “fortunate.”

Melchior: One of the Biblical magi, “king of light.”

Merle: A unisex name, from Latin, meaning “blackbird.”

Raven: The bird, associated with death, magic, and prophecy in multiple mythologies.

Rowan: Irish, “little red one,” the name of a tree with the ability to ward off evil.

Simon: Greek, from Hebrew, “hearkening.” The name of an ancient sorcerer, Simon Magus, who founded Gnosticism in early Christianity.

Soma: A name with various mystical meanings in different languages. In Greek, it means “body.” In Sanskrit it means “distill, extract” and refers to the drink of the gods, as well as being another name for the Hindu moon god, Chandra. In Finnish, it means “pretty.”

I’m really fixated on romance right now for some reason, so here we are with a soulmate reading. I’m of the belief that we don’t just have romantic soulmates but platonic and familial ones as well. However, for this reading, I am choosing to focus solely on romance.

I’m experimenting with a new format. I linked each of the readings to a google doc, this is mostly because they ended up being way longer than I’d anticipated (story of my life). I also thought that it might be more organized to do it this way. I’d appreciate feedback on whether or not I should keep doing it.

Piles to choose from:

Pile 1 - Cobra

Pile 2 - Fish

Pile 3 - Cheetah

Pile 4 - Zebra

Pile 5 - Hawk

[Decks Used: Modern Witch Tarot, Wild Unknown Tarot, Wild Unknown Animal Spirit oracle, Tarot Cats, standard playing cards, and a homemade oracle deck]

This took me 10-11 hours to do, spread out across 3 days. So, if you can support my shop or donate I’d be grateful. Also, please excuse any grammar/spelling mistakes and small incoherencies, by the time I got around to editing the readings I was kind of over it.

Pile 1: Cobra

Who They Are:

Queen of Wands, 9 of Wands, 8 of Pentacles, King of Clubs

10 of Cups, 7 of Cups r, Justice r, 5 of Hearts

7 of Cups r, 9 of Pentacles r, 6 of Wands, 9 of Diamonds

Death r, 7 of Wands r, 8 of Wands r, Ace of Spades

The High Priestess, The Fool, The Hanged Man r, Ace of Hearts

Mother of Cups r

Winter+New Love

I’m getting some self-made energy here, they are likely a very hard worker who puts in a lot of time and energy. Their success, while appreciated, makes them feel very alone. There’s a lot of wands energy here, so they are generous with their money and it’s possible that other people take advantage of that. The Mother of Cups reversed reinforces this idea as she brings the message: “you give too much of yourself to others”.

The High Priestess, Fool, and Hanged Man being pulled together makes me think they function in two very different ways. Either, they overthink literally everything to the point of never making a decision, or they just do things very impulsively without a second thought.

They want a big, happy family, whatever that means to them. It could involve having children or just having a lot of pets. However, due to past relationships, they no longer feel as though they could trust anyone enough to live out that dream. 

They feel disillusioned with love, which gives them a lot of conflicting emotions. Because, again, there’s a lot of wands energy, so they’re a very passionate person. Their current belief that love isn’t real is a direct contradiction to who they are at their core. Winter and new love could be taken literally, like you’ll meet and fall in love with them in the winter. Or, if you wanted to look deeper at it, it could mean that you help them get out of this place of being unable to consider love.

How You Can Recognize Them:

5 of Pentacles, Father of Cups, 3 of Swords, Jack of Hearts

The Devil r, The Fool, The Devil, 2 of Spades

The Hermit, 7 of Pentacles r, 10 of Cups r, 7 of Diamonds

Hanged man, 4 of Cups r, 10 of Diamonds r

“You’re having trouble getting in touch with your emotions”

“You’re not seeing clearly”

Ex

This person has an unmistakable light about them. Being with them is like sitting outside on a nice day soaking up the sun. However, they are still holding on to the past, and this is to their detriment. When you meet them, if you haven’t already, they will be extremely hung up on their ex. They are going to be obsessing over what went wrong and whether or not they can fix it. I can’t tell if they want to fix it to get back together with their ex, because they think it will give them closure, or because they think it will help them avoid making the same mistakes in their next relationship. But, they also don’t actually want to fix anything because that would mean confronting their emotions and they would really rather not. They will likely seem to be existing outside of reality, they are going to be so distracted by this internal conflict that they aren’t going to notice the world around them.  

In all honesty, they will be very difficult for you to recognize. You’ll probably notice them because of their light, but you won’t (and shouldn’t) consider them a potential partner - at least not until they’ve dealt with their issues and moved on. I want to stress that while they are so focused on their past relationship(s), that’s not all they have going on. They are a 3 dimensional human being like the rest of us, but this is just the information I was able to get.

I also want to mention that their family is very important to them, they’re the type of person to call or text each member of their immediate family every day. I also get the impression that you two will be friends for a while before getting into a relationship.

Pile 2: Fish

Who They Are:

Queen of Swords, 9 of Wands, 9 of Cups r, The Tower r, Jack of Spades

King of Swords, Daughter of Wands, 3 of Pentacles, 8 of Diamonds

Judgment r, 2 of Cups r, Daughter of Swords r, The Chariot r, 3 of Spades

The Emperor, 8 of Pentacles, The Magician r, Ace of Wands, 4 of Spades

“I’m sorry”

Best friends 

Between the Emperor and having all of the court cards of the Swords suit, this person has a very powerful presence. They’re almost the kind of person that makes people stop and stare, I say almost because they’re intimidating and people don’t want to be caught staring. Not intimidating in a scary way, they just - and I can’t stress this enough - exude power. They are also very ambitious and highly intelligent. So when they put their mind to something, they will execute it perfectly. Or, at least, they want people to think it was done perfectly. They have a very “everything’s under control” look to them, but they’re barely hanging on by a thread. I feel like one bad day would send them into an existential spiral, because they don’t know who they are if they’re not perfect. 

Nothing’s ever come easily to them and they’ve had to fight their whole life to get the things that they have now. They’ve never had the option of giving up. If they gave up, they were worthless, they were nothing - that’s how they’ve always seen it. I imagine there’s a lot of parental pressure at play here. It’s turned them into a workaholic, there’s no work-life balance to be found. I’m getting the impression that the “I’m sorry” card has to do with this aspect of their life. 

The “best friends” card speaks for itself. With the Jack of Hearts and Daughter of Wands, there’s a playful energy to them. But these are the only cards pointing this out, which tells me that they restrain this part of themself. I think that you being their friend, as well as their partner, will show them that they don’t need to be so serious all the time. This is something buried so deep it’ll need some time and energy to be coaxed out of them.  

This is pretty obvious, but this person’s biggest fear is failure.

How You Can Recognize Them:

Knight of Wands r, 4 of Wands r, 8 of Cups, 9 of Swords

King of Pentacles, The Moon r, 7 of Swords r, Queen of Spades

5 of Pentacles, Mother of Swords, Queen of Wands, 4 of Hearts

Queen of Cups, Daughter of Swords r, Knight of Wands

7 of Cups r, Son of Swords, 4 of Pentacle, 5 of Diamonds

The World r, 9 of Wands r, 8 of Hearts r

You feel as if you aren’t getting the recognition you deserve

Seperation

We’re definitely seeing their more sensitive, playful aspects. However, these are still vastly overpowered by their Swords energy as, once again, all the court cards are out - the Queen’s out twice. Seriously, this person has such powerful energy that it’s the first thing you notice.

I feel like you’ll meet either at work or at school, somewhere where you’re working on a group project together. The people you’re working with aren’t going to take your contributions seriously. But, once they realize you’re right, they’ll claim they were  their ideas all along. The Swords family is very fair-minded, so I think this person’s going to have a problem with that.  

They have this very detached, uninterested persona and once you’ve spent time around your soulmate, you’re going to pick up on the fact that they are deeper than they want people to think they are. When they’re more comfortable with you, which will take some time, you might catch glimpses of them being competitive/hot-headed or they’ll start making jokes around you. If you’re patient enough, they’ll eventually be vulnerable with you.

They have a fear of the unknown and love is foreign to them, so this is definitely a slow-burn. 

In both of these readings I got a wave of pretty interesting energy. It wasn’t anxiety or dizziness, but felt similar to both. I felt like I lost my balance, that’s probably how you'll make this person feel. They have a lot of plans for life and you’re not one of them, so they’ll be thrown for a loop.

You can’t help everyone

Over-investment in work

Aries

The first thing that I’m seeing is that this person will probably have some self-esteem issues. It seems to be tied to their abilities more so than appearance.

They have a lot of ideas for projects that they want to work on, but they never seem to start anything, let alone finish. I think this is because they try to be everything to everyone and don’t prioritize themself. They find contentment in the idea that everybody likes them, but this can make them a people pleaser. This can lead to them taking on long hours at work to make their boss happy. It’s also unrealistic because there’s not a person on Earth that’s universally liked. I think this is something they’ll come to realize in their own time.

They may come across as indecisive at times, they aren’t. They always know exactly what they want, but can have a hard time asserting themself. 

There’s a fire that burns bright here, this person has a lot of drive and ambition. This is where that aries energy comes in, they don’t have to have aries placements so please don’t get fixated on that. But, like I said before, they hold themself back by prioritizing other people and neglecting their own needs. They have the potential to be really successful, however they need to start putting themself first. 

This seems like a very sensitive individual, just the thought of doing something under-handed stresses them out. Which is a good thing for other people, because your soulmate’s very charming and could probably talk themself out of anything.

For some reason I get the impression that they have a bit of a sweet tooth.

How You Can Recognize Them:

3 of Pentacles, 4 of Wands r, Knight of Wands, 4 of Spades

King of Cups r, The Magician r

You’re having trouble getting in touch with your emotions

September

Think before you speak

Let’s start with the reinforcements of their self-esteem issues, as well as their people pleasing tendencies. It’s exhausting for them, emotionally and physically. They are well and truly holding themself back, and I think that by the time you meet them they’ll be starting to examine these aspects of themself. This will be something they struggle with for a while and there may be a period of time where they withdraw to think things through.  

The joker in black and white in standard decks is my fool reversed card, but it’s reversed so its the fool reversed reversed. The fool upright, I feel like there could have been a simpler way for my cards to get that message to me. But I also feel like it represents the way your person talks to themself, they make everything just a little bit more complicated than it needs to be. They think in circles, eventually getting to the point but it may take them a while. This may be a contributing factor to their perceived indecisiveness. 

 They want to make a home with you. I get the impression that when talking about it with you, they’ll appear to be cool and collected. Like it’s not a big deal to them. But then they’ll turn around and shout it from the rooftops. It won’t be possible for people to not know you’re together, they’ll just be so loud about it. 

Outside of the need to make everybody like them, they’re a pretty care-free individual. It will be important to them that you have fun together. I think this playfulness is their most defining feature and probably the first thing people notice about them.  

In the first two piles, it looked like they’d be friends for a while before getting into a relationship with their person. That’s not the case here, like I said before, when this person knows, they know. They’re not going to waste time with you.

Soulmate 

Hostile

May

The first thing I’m picking up on is that your soulmate is someone who is very carefree. They also have a lot of romantic energy to them, so they are definitely a hopeless romantic.

The amount of Major Arcana here tells me that this person is likely very spiritually gifted, they might not be consciously aware of this.

This person is kind of a go-getter. Once they decide they want something, nothing’s getting in their way.

There are some conflicting energies here because as happy and carefree as they are, there’s an equal amount of pain and hardship. This is someone who’s faced a lot of hostility, so at first will be fairly guarded. They love the idea of being in love, but have difficulties opening themself up to the reality of love. It’s not all bad, they are making an active effort to heal and not let past heartbreak hold them back.

With the Magician and High Priestess facing each other, this is someone who is likely very in touch with their spirituality. Not only are they able to  trust their intuition, but they also have everything that they need to follow it. Once they have a gut feeling about something, whatever it is, they will trust it more than they’ll trust you, and be right 90% of the time.

 They are very compassionate and probably are used to giving more than they take, which gets them taken advantage of. Part of their growth is going to be finding a balance in this aspect of their life. 

This is someone who values family and most likely wants some kind of family unit, whether that be having children or pets. 

The month of May might be important, it could be when you meet or one of you could be a Taurus or a Gemini.

Death, The Hierophant, Page of Wands, 9 of Spades 

Sensitive

Peaceful

There’s still time to change your mind.

One of their prominent characteristics is their sensitivity. This doesn’t mean that they’re crybabies, they are just very mindful of everybody's feelings. This paired with what we learned about the painful parts of their past probably makes them a little insecure. This insecurity is only a problem when it comes to relationships. They may come across as very confident and flirty, but as soon as it moves past that they start clamming up and getting nervous. It could be bad enough that they have a hard time believing that you actually want to be with them.

They invest a lot of time into their projects, whether work related or personal. It’s likely that they struggle with finding a work-life balance. This is someone who needs to feel productive at every moment of the day. They keep themself busy so that they don’t need to be alone with their thoughts. This isn’t someone that knows peace. It is something they’d like to experience, but they don’t know how to. They have too many thoughts and can’t quiet their mind, their inner-demons get the best of them at times. This isn’t something they express outwardly though, everyone around them probably sees them as someone who, while busy, is fairly laid back. They need a lot of guidance here so if you’re someone who meditates, this could be something you help them with.

It’ll be easiest for you to recognize them based on their sensitivity and active lifestyle. They will be extremely helpful to their friends and family, and would drop everything to be there if needed. They are also, surprisingly down-to-earth.

“You’re my everything.”

You need to hold yourself to more reasonable standards.

This is someone with a lot of pain, they are overwhelmed and feel defeated. I’m getting the impression that it has to do primarily with work/co-workers. It could be that they put a lot of themself into their work and seem to always get passed up for promotions, or they could have even been recently laid off. They’re very ambitious and intelligent, so if they did get laid off, it would be a big hit to their ego. Alternatively, they could have almost reached a long-standing dream, only for it to fall apart at the last second. 

Your soulmate has a lot of fiery passion that they don’t always know what to do with, so they turn everything into a competition. The thing is, they’re only competing with themself. They’re always trying to be better than they were yesterday, even when it’s unrealistic. 

As passionate as they are, they can be very patient when it comes to getting what they want. They know that not everything can be rushed, even if that’s frustrating to them. They try to avoid making reckless mistakes, but sometimes this can lead to them not making decisions in a timely manner. 

They value family and friends greatly, this could be the most important part of their life to them. They’ll test you to see if you can gain the approval of their loved ones. If you don’t, they may begin to have second thoughts. This is a soulmate though, so you’ll likely be very compatible and win everyone over with relative ease.

You are not seeing clearly

Hesitant

When You meet this person, they will be coming out of a very rough period of their life. They are going to be at the start of their healing journey and they won’t have a lot of time or energy for romance. They’re likely very hard on themself, they don’t want to be seen as weak so they don’t express negative emotions. This is something they have to confront in order to heal.

They are going to be in a complicated headspace, there’s going to be difficulty separating the past from the present, and there’s not a lot of balance between their spiritual and physical lives. They either reject the spiritual to embrace the material world, or neglect their physical well-being and focus solely on their spiritual self. 

You know how some people use their trauma as an excuse to inflict pain on others? This person’s the opposite of that, everything they’ve gone through has made them a patient, compassionate person. This will probably be one of the first things you notice about them, how kind they are. They are also very dependable, they’ve experienced going through hard times alone and don’t want anyone else to feel like they have to. 

Overall, they come across as a very good human being, but there’s an underlying tiredness to them. They might be dealing with a little bit of brain fog, so at times they’re slow to process the world around them.
