for kalliope

Happy belated birthday, Kalliope! A thousand thanks for participating in my tarot ask game! This feels random but the question I chose for you is sort of Halloween inspired, sort myth inspired since your name is greek inspired. I thought it was fun so I really hope you enjoy it!

(fluid: he/him, she/her, they/them | libra sun, cancer moon, gemini rising | dealer’s choice: “If Kalliope were a mythological creature, what sort of figure would they be?”)

Bottom of the deck: King of Coins. From left to right: Seven of Cups, Page of Wands, Ten of Wands. For you, Kalliope, short story: You would be a genie. Not like Genie from Aladdin. Yes, you’d be blue, but you’d have free will— no lamp or anything like that— for the most post. You travel where you want, when you want. You had hobbies, interests. It’s just that you do have to grant wishes. It’s part of the whole “genie” thing. Ridiculous, I know. For a while, you tried not granting wishes, but it quickly became apparent as to why you had to. It was a dark time. So you make it work. You have fun with it. Mostly, you can be found need on shores, near bodies of water. And living forever has its perks. In ancient Greece, you stumped Hermes—though, he wasn’t that bright anyways— literally. After a bad wish, you turned him into a tree for bit after you saw him chasing dryads. In 16th century France, Descartes almost bested you (but not quite). And in today’s time? It’s a bit less fun, because everyone usually wishes for the same thing. But on occasions, you’ll wander into a random town— usually a small one— and ask the first person you see what they would wish for if they could have anything. Even predictability can be fun sometimes. The guy wishing he had a fast car to impress his friends? Granted. He is now one of the fastest cars on the market. You changed him back after a year. No harm, no foul. The woman who wished to win the lottery? Clearly she’d never read of The Lottery by Shirley Jackson. But you had. And so on. However, it was this, surprisingly that made you appeal to modern mortals. They began to seek you out as a way to “test their wits” against you. So for years you offered a deal. Three guileless wishes to the first mortal that could best you. You became a sort of legend, which was hard in 21st century. And in truth, it was good fun. Of course, no one ever did best you, but you never expected them to. After a millennia or so, you have up your corporeal form, something genies rarely did, opting to become myth and legend. The other option I got from this is a sort of dark genie. You have no name, no one form. Or, at least, if you had either of these things, the mortals didn’t know. In the early days, you dwelled in a cave, made of lapis lazuli and clear quartz. There was a town nearby and as small towns do, a rumor began. Apparently one that encouraged thrill seekers and those seeking wealth to ransack your dwellings. It was widely known that no one ever made it back. Illusions were your specialty. Once someone crossed the threshold of the cave, they found themselves ensconced in an illusion depicting their greatest desires. And the illusions you cast depended entirely on the character of the one who had ventured in. If they were pure of heart, they saw their desires and dreams exactly as they had always imagined them. But if not… And in truth, they rarely were good at heart. Not many “pure of heart” go wandering into caves that promise riches at the cost of “never returning”. Actually, sometimes you returned them to their town, though usually a decade or two had slipped by before you realised they had been there. (After all, you had better things to do then pay attention to dazed mortals.) Other times, they grew old there, trapped in illusion. please let me know how or if this resonates, as much as your comfortable with. i value all feedback, long or short.

helllloooooOooOoOo i’m santee or you could just call me E

i’m here to join your tarot reading so here’s my question- What will my first kiss b like?

I’m 20 and i haven’t even held hands or been in my first relationship and idk i know at the right time it will come but yk i get a lil curious sometimes. oH and i like men, just men, men with cool tattoos and nerdy to b exact 😭

I hope that this finds you well and i hope you have a beautiful and wonderful day and month from when you see this message. And with that being said, i bid you a farewell and look forward to your response ✨

Hey, Santee! I want to start by telling you that i was super excited to do your reading. I felt it would be— as first kisses are— fun, exciting, and maybe a little awkward. I don’t know if you read my disclaimer at the bottom of my “welcome” post, but essentially it says that love readings from me are.. interesting. While I’m happy to do them, they usually end up answering a question you didn’t necessarily ask. This reading was no exception. I received a lot of information through my senses during your reading. I think it’s going to be the answer you’re looking for. It’s all included here, so you’ll see what I mean. I’ve never had a love reading turn out this way, so I’m super interested in hearing your feedback and if anything resonates with you— or even if it doesn’t. So let’s get into it.

Alright, so before I began the reading, I got this neon pink energetic signature from you. (The picture is what resonated with that energy. Not that you’ll make a poor choice, it’s more of a ‘look back on it and smile fondly’ energy) What you’re attracting is first love energy. As I was shuffling with your intention, I began to see a boy, brown or black-haired and a few patchwork tattoos, leaning in. He comes across as your description of “nerdy” but not overly so. The energy of your first kiss: fluttery feelings and scattered “oh my god, is this happening??” thoughts from you. From him: a sort of unexpected confidence. Although he comes across as nerdy, I’d say he’s more sure of himself than he seems. After that, I saw hand holding!

On the bottom of the deck is the Nine of Cups. Most readers view this as “the wish card”, a promise of desires fulfilled. I’ve found that typically it is a wish fulfilled, usually in an unpredictable way. That is to say, your first kiss will be everything you desire and it will happen in an unexpected way. This is a good thing.

Your first kiss is the transition into the story of your first love.

(No Reversals: Two of Wands, Eight of Cups, Three of Swords)

Your first kiss acts as a doorway to new experiences for you. (I thought of a video game, where there are places that you can’t access until you’ve got a certain number of XP.) Perhaps it will embolden you to go for what you want in unexpected areas of your life. This kiss— and eventual relationship— will challenge you to reflect on what it is you truly want from love, what you expect from it, and maybe even what you expect from yourself. This relationship isn’t one that lasts. But first love rarely is. I anticipate you’ll be the one to realise this first but it’s unclear whether or not you’ll listen to that internal voice. It might be a back and forth, tug-of-war internal struggle for you regarding what you should do. At times, be sure to remind yourself not to take this too seriously. First love is meant to be as much fun as it is intense. The song ‘Like or Like Like’ by Miniature Tigers came through surrounding this connection. Santee, know that looking back on it, you’ll notice a lot of overhead themes you couldn’t have seen in the moment. You’ll grow a lot. And as the picture I sent suggests, this will make a good story one day. Your first kiss and eventual first love will be exactly what it’s supposed to be.

i hope this answers your question in a way you hoped for. whether or not this resonates please give me all of your thoughts. i’d love to hear them.

🚪 with love and blessings, eden

totally forgot if i included the info but: kyra, she/her, a public reading is fine!

thank you 💕!

Thanks again for participating in my tarot ask game. I am more grateful than words can express. Here is your reading!

(she/her | virgo sun, capricorn moon, aquarius rising | “i’d like to know how my future career looks right now/if it’s what i desire. i feel very strongly about it but wanna see what spirit would like to say.”)

©️ 2023. cancersstellium

Kyra, Kyra, Kyra: when it comes to careers, you can have whatever you want. Your big 3 is such a combination. You are a powerhouse. But you already know that, right? Usually, I’d do a past, present, future reading here but I felt such strong confidence and assurance before I even picked up the deck. So, when I shuffled, I did so under the intention of solely looking into what will most likely come to pass under the conviction that you have now.

“I have to ask: can you feel it? The vibration, your vibration? Do you feel light? High vibe? There’s ‘prime manifestation’ vibes here. Iridescent pink bubble, ‘7 rings’ by Ariana Grande vibe. Sultry, Dangerous Woman vibes. Golden God is a Woman vibes. (I feel like you might think me cliché but I’m for real!!) That Divine Feminine Essence energy. The Supermoon playlist on spotify vibes.”

Your space feels so energetically right. When it comes to your career, you’re bringing this sensuality and excitement. I’m excited for you! Though, I genuinely don’t know if I can tell you anything that you don’t already know. Let’s dive in.

From left to right, I pulled King of Cups, Seven of Coins, and Queen of Cups.

The answer to everything lies in your inner emotional and spiritual world. Look for signs that will reflect this back to you in your outer world. It’s all about water. How does the water flow in your household? Does the sink have good pressure? Does your shower? Does the tap leak, even when it’s off? Have you left the water running by mistake recently? What about around you? Any pools of water? Are they clear? Clean? The outer is always a reflection of the inner. Anyway, I’m curious as to what career you’re pursuing because I feel it’s the right one. I’m immediately drawn to the King and Queen of Cups. There’s this sort of rightness in the way that the Queen is on the right and the King of the left. Your divine feminine energy is running the show, and doing it quite well, might I add. And your masculine energy knows that it’s time to back off for now, to just observe. You are in direct alignment with your true desires. Not only are you connected with the surface level of your subconscious but the deep waters of it as well.

However, seeing the Seven of Coins makes me think that somewhere between your deep inner connection with yourself and the surface level connection, there’s a feeling pressure to make the right decision. I get the sense that you know there’s a decision you have to make to either switch up or persevere. You’re spiritual, you already know “everything happens for a reason” and to “trust the process”, etc. but you only want to make this decision one time and be right the first time. I asked about this blockage and pulled the Five of Coins. I feel like maybe this blockage is caused by a “logic-based” fear of adversity or financial hardship? I hear/feel a “I wanna trust my intuition but what if..” type of energy. Your intentions are good, your intuition is spot on, that divine feminine energy within you is everything. Your desires are quickly manifesting from the depths of your inner world, to the surface of it, and finally into your outer world. But that hesitation needs clearing. Clear that and you can have whatever you want. And all you need to do is embody that truth you already know. Remember: it’s not about what we do, it’s about who we’re being while we do the thing.

I want to say there’s also a “physicality” to this, I can’t quite nail down. I didn’t know if so should include that, since I can’t tell you anything further on it, but maybe it’ll mean something to you?

This is going to manifest to the exact degree that you believe it will. You are so in tune with your own magic right now, Kyra.

please let me know how or if this resonates, as much as your comfortable with. i value all feedback, long or short.

🚪 with love and light, eden
