💫🔮 pick a card that you feel the most called to and receive a message below the cut 🃏 ✨

card one // the empress

(libra moon/venus, venus in taurus, taurus midheaven, venus in the 2nd & 4th house)

things feel good, don’t they? the checkbook balances and you get the things you want. you are rising above and allowing self growth to take place. take on any challenges your way with a clear level head and you’ll be light as a feather as you ascend further to the best version of yourself. creativity or love may be fueling you at this time and take some time to decompress with ritualistic self care and relaxation.

card two // six of wands

(leo sun/rising, pisces moon, natal mercury rx, sun in 10th)

you may have went through hell and back to get to this point. the end is right along the horizon, i promise you. please don’t get discouraged by situations or opinions thrown at you. you’ve worked so hard and your efforts are about to show. remember to stay humble and allow the struggles you’ve faced to transform you— not hold you back. just a few more steps and victory at last.

card three // the world

(aquarius rising, pluto in scorpio, saturn in capricorn or 10h)

in case no one has told you, the universe is proud of you. you’ve hit tremendous milestones throughout a rocky road but you may be jaded or not seeing the whole picture. in the grand scheme of things, your mistakes or misfortune does not matter when the world moves on twice as fast. if you feel like you’re spinning under the pressure, this may be a good time to start a new hobby. there’s a pent up energy that is just begging to be released.

PICK A PILE READING - your shadow side vs. your best side

welcome back my tumblr friends, i am slowly getting fed up seeing the same readings done over and over again (no hate to anyone ofc) so i decided to do this fun reading which will focus on your shadow and your light side. as always, since this is a collective reading take what resonates and leave what does not.

pile 1: you are so so so ambitious even you yourself don't know when to stop, especially when it comes to mental and physical exhaustion, you were taught growing up that you had to succeed at all costs no matter what you were going through. there's a deep inner voice saying "if i stop, i'll fall behind" and i want you to know that that's not the case for you, pile 1. stop pushing yourself so damn much, stop forcing movement and start going with the flow instead. your light side is so wise, balanced and principled and it's a side that wasn't naturally given to you but it had to be "earned" through a series of heartbreaking events (which may or may not include repressed trauma and pain that you still are yet to work through), your light side sees through the illusion of your drive to push yourself to exhaustion and it's asking you to listen to yourself more, to stop and wait instead of forcing to prove yourself through effort. learn when to stop vs when to act (on your own natural accord, not through anxiety).

pile 2: strong earth/water houses energy here, you either DESPISE rules and do everything you possibly can to go against them or you love them so much that you'll do anything to enforce them (for yourself only of course). if i had to guess, i'd pick the latter since the four of pentacles reversed was also present: you hold onto outdated beliefs out of a scarcity mindset, you were taught to believe that rules are rules for a reason and that you shouldn't break them under any circumstance (and that was, of course, a lie). said rules could have something to do with applying logic when it comes to manifestation, disbelief in manifestation or more. you need to absolutely go against what you were taught to believe in, let go of those limiting beliefs that no longer serve you on your journey. your light self is all about transformation, renewal and levelling up so i am SURE that you'll do just fine in rebelling against preconceived notions that do not belong to you. let go of expectations that are not yours to uphold, your light self thrives on cutting away limitations and the old versions, you are amazing at embracing your full transformations. use your transforming powers wisely instead of creating new cages for yourself, my little phoenix rising.

pile 3: you are your own biggest critic pile 3 and that's your shadow side: insane perfectionism and self obsession with standards that you apply to yourself only. your inner judge makes you constantly think that you're not enough and that you need to try harder or else you'll be a failure (tw: ed, i feel like some of you might be currently struggling with that and just know that that little voice inside your head is NOT there to help you, it's there to critique you to the point of going mad about it, pls get help if you are currently going through something like this). you're so afraid to fail publicly that you forget about your light self and your innate ability to be LOVED by the public, you're so good at bringing people together and they absolutely adore your presence. you are so strong for others that they actually can't even imagine what goes through in your head and it's ironic because you're so scared of what others think of you when there's simply no need to. stop chasing perfection and start to connect with others, share your burdens because that's your power.

thank you for reading <3

Pick-a-Carp: REM - Random Emerging Messages (From Your Dreams) 🐠🌑🔮

*･ﾟ✧Masterlist | *･ﾟ✧Ko-Fi

Sup y'all, it's time for another pick a card reading! I have always enjoyed dream interpretation, long before I discovered tarot. Amazing insights and revelations have come through by understanding dreams, at times being more predictive than waking signs. Although it can be hard to be really into dream interpretation when I can't remember most of mine upon waking. 😅

So for this Pisces New Moon, this reading will look into what kind of dreams you may be having and the messages they're trying to tell you. We have many dreams at night we don't remember, so this reading will take a deep dive into those hazier ones into account as well as the more significant dreams. Pick any one of the three beautiful koi fish varieties:

1 - Asagi - Blue/Silver 💙 2 - Showa - Black/White 🖤 3 - Utsuri - Orange/Black 🧡

Pile 1 - Asagi 💙

4 of Cups, Queen of Swords, XVII Star, 10 of Pentacles; Full Moon Sagittarius, 3 of Prisms, 3. In the Light of the Moon, Spider, Self-Care

Hi pile 1,

Your dreams focus mainly on the past. You may be having rather realistic dreams of situations that have already happened. There is a skeleton key present in these dreams in order to unlock a passage. This dream must be processed to clear old stuck energy that's keeping the conscious mind tied back. It may require seeing things from a different angle or point of view, or looking at the dream in a new light. This dream may be annoyingly repetitive but it's not without purpose. The message is relentless for you to receive it, so it uses the same dream or similar set-up to stay direct. Like solving a long tricky math problem on a practice test.

This dream may likely involve family members or close friend groups. You may relive confrontations you've had with them previously, or dream that you're getting into conflict with those you are otherwise on good terms with. You may get emotionally meshed with others' energies which appear in your dreams as a bigger tide in your imagery (they may even appear taller in dreams). It's important to apply clear judgement when it comes to these scenarios. Having a bad dream where a good friend cheats or fights with you is trying to help you understand how your emotions contribute to relationships; it's not a reflection of the actual state of the relationship. So this friend may be testing boundaries from within the safe confines of your dreams so you can figure out how to respond to such situations. In waking life, pile 1, you may need to review how you see your individual self as distinct from your community. Your dreams want you to center and reclaim your mind and boundaries so these scenarios can't phase you or your future decisions, because no, it doesn't have to happen like last time.

Your dreams show you are a caring person with great regard for your community's well being. With Spider, I think of the web, so this could be an online community or just one that feels tied together as a unit. This could also represent a large work environment where you collaborate with many people. Despite this, the Spider is largely an solitary being. These dreams could have people trying to call you, or talk to you, even if you're not able to hear what they're saying. Your reverie is swimming with their collective energy, but in doing so is also asking you to instead look towards yourself for insight. Let's say you have a reoccurring dream where a love interest keeps blasting your phone but for some reason you can't answer it, or the phone dies as you answer it. Consider what you would want the person on the other line to say ("I think you're really cute"), then ask if these are affirmations you can give to yourself now ("I think I'm really cute"). The Star card says you can provide yourself with the positive feeling you may be seeking in your dreams. They're wanting you to come back to yourself and stand on your own two fins--er, feet.

Pile 2 - Showa 🖤

6 of Wands, X Wheel of Fortune, 8 of Wands, Ace of Pentacles; Void-of-Course Moon, 5 of Relics, 42. Gentle Moderation, Butterfly, Take Charge

Hey pile 2!

Regular, practical matters seem to be the main concern here. This could be your physical body, housing, work, or your finances. The symbols in your dreams represent everyday worries like running errands. However, the dreams that start out as casual can quickly become unstable or chaotic. Grand plans like an expensive flight could be made only to suddenly cancel, or you may have dreams of getting lost and struggling to find directions only for the scenery to constantly morph itself around. Each scene may wildly change the circumstances and elevate activity in sleep. Emphasis is placed here on releasing your worries. Occasionally, they may be pointing out certain stressors or physical issues in the body. Overall, there is a need to take control of your circumstances as the captain of your ship, and you may find that with more time and awareness, you can tap into lucid dreams.

Out of all piles, your dreams likely make the least amount of sense. It could involve a lot of sudden frenzy or inexplicable changes, like seeing strangers turn into floating pumpkins or going to a doctor's clinic only to find that you are the doctor. I feel this is because you normally have your head on your shoulders in your waking life, and you may come across to others as steady and dependable. So when things go awry in sleep, these elements force you out of your comfort zone to showcase how you would react to a variety of scenarios. Many of these dreams come as a direct result of an every day worry and can be interpreted in a straight forward way, despite the seeming randomness. Going to the library to drop off a book that turns to glittery bats when you pull it out of your bag, for example, may simply be reminding you of a library book that's actually due.

You have the 6 of Wands, here, so it looks as though the events your dreams are based from largely resolve themselves even if it can stir you up in your sleep. Many of these things are fated to happen anyway, so there's no need to fret about them, and in fact worrying and overthinking may make the situation worse. So if you have an embarrassing dream about a job interview, it could be a reminder to practice answering questions beforehand. There's a good chance you will still do well at the interview as your dreams are helping you to see that you can handle any sudden disruption in plans and see your goals through. The caterpillar is destined to change into a butterfly no matter what, so it's okay if it has dreams that the cocoon string doesn't come out right or the wings look strange. It's all part of adjusting to big changes in life. The important thing is to not rush into doing something out of worry and to work at a steady pace. Remember that no matter how weird or utterly out there your dreams get, you're at the helm and with practice, you can decide how the dream ends.

Pile 3 - Utsuri 🧡 (cw blood imagery & brief mention of trauma)

V Hierophant, 10 of Swords, 9 of Wands, 9 of Swords; Full Moon in Cancer, 2 of Prisms, 41. Convey Your Meaning, Crystal, Eternity

Hello, pile 3.

I see the main theme in your sleep could involve reconciliation with a loved one. You may have a lot of one-on-one dreams involving confrontations and heated discussions. There could be a lot of miscommunication, a struggle to speak, or an inability to get one's point across in the dream. Words which ache inside your throat in waking life can finally burst within your dreams, words which you may have held onto for perhaps years. Your dreams are a place to bring out and vent what is difficult or even impossible to manage while awake. Your mind is seeking to let go of a major issue to achieve peace. If these really are words you wish to let out, I recommend both a dream journal to document what's being said along with a regular journal to help you air out things that will otherwise filter into your sleep.

For a few of you, the dreams may recall a painful encounter or event in the past, which can feel mocking when it comes back around, as though it can disappear for a long while only to suddenly reappear at the most unusual time. Let's say the trauma involved a bicycle accident: the accident may appear in different forms, like the bike turning into a helicopter, but with the same emotional response. You may think, "that was almost a decade ago, why am I still dreaming about this?" This is due to having a more emotionally detached state while in the dream world, allowing a more introspective consciousness to come through. Ultimately, with the 10 of Swords, it's helping you process it through so it doesn't overwhelm you while you're living your life. Your mind is slowly healing itself by "analyzing" these dreams like an audience member watching a movie to help you feel safe in your skin upon waking.

You may feel interested in checking out pile 1 too because I also see repetitive dreams in here. Only in this case it may not always be a dream based exactly on reliving a memory, but rather different scenes that involve the same core lesson or emotion in every one. You may even have a sequential dream that ends and restarts itself like a chapter in a book, or experience nested dreams in which you wake up to the alarm only to still be dreaming, which could create déjà vu. This is to help you gradually learn from past turmoils and errors while freely letting go of past hangups. Your dreams do not show you these visions to scare or frustrate you, but to build the pieces together to create a more unified psyche. They're breaking up old crystallized patterns of thought so the shadow isn't lurking over you like the volcano in the 9 of Wands. It's building the new staircase to your personal freedom by allowing you the opportunity to rewrite the scenario as you see fit. How different would the same dream feel with just one little detail rearranged? Try to imagine how it would feel if the bicycle turned into a Pegasus and allowed you to soar high.

tarot & astro notes: elemental & qualitative connections

Elements The Tarot suits align beautifully with the four classical elements in astrology, each bringing its own unique energy and attributes.

Wands represent the Fire Element. This suit embodies the dynamic, passionate, and creative energies of Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius. Wands inspire us to take action and pursue our passions with vigor and enthusiasm.

Cups correspond to the Water Element. They symbolize the emotional depth, intuition, and empathy found in Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces. Cups guide us through our emotional landscapes, fostering love and emotional connections.

Swords are linked to the Air Element. This suit reflects the intellectual, communicative, and observational qualities of Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius. Swords challenge us to think critically, communicate clearly, and navigate mental challenges.

Stones (or Pentacles) represent the Earth Element. They signify the grounded, practical, and material aspects of life, resonating with Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn. Stones remind us to focus on health, wealth, and our physical reality.

Qualities Each number in the Tarot deck corresponds to one of the three astrological qualities, further deepening the connection between Tarot and astrology.

2s, 3s, and 4s are aligned with the Cardinal Signs: Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn. These cards represent initiation, leadership, and the drive to start new projects and endeavors.

5s, 6s, and 7s correspond to the Fixed Signs: Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, and Aquarius. These cards embody stability, persistence, and the power to maintain and develop what has been started.

8s, 9s, and 10s are associated with the Mutable Signs: Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, and Pisces. These cards reflect adaptability, change, and the ability to navigate transitions and transformations.

Symbolism The symbolism in each Tarot suit is enriched by its elemental and qualitative associations.

Stones (Pentacles) represent health, wealth, and the physical realm. They are linked to autumn, a time of harvest and material abundance, emphasizing the importance of grounding and nurturing our physical well-being.

Wands symbolize creativity, action, and passion. Associated with spring, this suit encourages us to embrace new beginnings, take risks, and follow our creative impulses.

Cups stand for love, emotion, and empathy. Aligned with summer, the season of growth and warmth, Cups invite us to deepen our emotional connections and nurture our relationships.

Swords represent thought, challenge, and observation. Connected to winter, a time of introspection and mental clarity, Swords prompt us to confront challenges with intellect and clear communication.

how many relationships eunwoo had? ive seen him talking in an interview that he had only one gf. is that true?

cards: four of swords rx, knight of swords rx, eight of swords rx

He may have had only one girlfriend, yes, but there were more connections, in my opinion. They either just never got to an "official stage" or he actually didn't want to even try (so making it clear from the get-go that he's not looking to date anyone, just befriend or something...).

With the King of Swords at the bottom of the deck, too, I feel like he looks at love and relationships very coldly and logically, so it either checks all of the boxes or it doesn't happen. And, yes, he might be the type who prefers to focus on his career first, and then explore more of his love life and all that.

hi mimi, can you do a reading on cha eunwoo's future romantic partner or fs? thank you❤️

Cha Eunwoo future spouse

Ace of Wands rev, The Hierophant, 2 of Pentacles, 4 of Swords, Ace of Cups, 7 of Swords, 8 of Cups, Knight of Wands, King of Wands, Justice rev, The Chariot, 8 of Pentacles rev, 9 of Cups.

They are a calculated maybe even manipulating person. I wouldn't say like in general but they are the type to manipulate people to get what they want. They are determined and know what they want and if they don't find what they are looking for they will go elsewhere. This person can be a bit hard to please and will very much show you if they are interested or not. They are quite traditional, probably Korean but I also feel that they could be a liar and have issues with being truthful. On the more positive side they are quite determined, "I want it I got it" type of energy. They only put effort in things they deem "worthy". Their energy is a bit masculine. This person is well off, either they come from a rich family or built themselves up they are rich. They will either have a crush on him or vice versa and it's possible for them just to flee and just be alone together. They are balanced and busy, possible earth sign?

Greetings, (T/W: d3ath mention)

Little PSA but kpop tarot readers please for the love of God DO NOT do any readings on Astro's Moonbin because it is so disrespectful. His family, members, friends and fans are mourning and it doesn't matter who they are but please don't do readings on people who have passed, especially not with insensitive questions about how and why.

It has come under my notice that Astro's Moonbin has pas/sed away. It is such a shock to me and millions of fans as this was so sudden, he has left us and become a part of one of the star in the sky and I hope his family and members are getting utmost amount of love and support.

These days we have no idea how difficult and horrible life can be and how suddenly things can take turn for the worse. Take this time to mourn, heal and love. Look out for loved ones and spend lots of time with them 🩷

𝐄𝐈𝐆𝐇𝐓 𝐎𝐅 𝐒𝐖𝐎𝐑𝐃𝐒 ✦ 𝐏𝐀𝐆𝐄 𝐎𝐅 𝐖𝐀𝐍𝐃𝐒 ✦ 𝐒𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐍 𝐎𝐅 𝐂𝐔𝐏𝐒

𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞 & 𝐫𝐞𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩𝐬

You are going to be in situations where sooner or later you will realize how easy it actually was to get out of them. There’s a lot of limitations being imposed onto you, and these are based on ideas and values that do not resonate with the person you actually are. During this season you will feel as if you are forced into conformity for the sake of others, almost suffocated by norms and expectations that are not relevant to your personal development, but they are useful to keep you in the places where you need to be. It seems as if this is the moment when you realize you don’t need to repeat the same cycles over and over again just because you are comfortable with the results, as the outcomes from these situations are not exactly fulfilling yet they are good enough to keep you wanting to try again just in case this next time it turns exactly the way you want.

𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬

Your need to move forward and go beyond what you already know is going to manifest in a way that could be too impulsive, there’s a chance that after an impulsive decision to change you will be faced with a feeling of uncertainty due to not knowing exactly for what or what it is that you are changing exactly. There’s going to be plenty of opportunities, plenty of new paths to follow, and way too many options for you to choose from. Don’t lose yourself in the anxiety and overwhelm from this, your intuition and your passionate nature will lead the way to the best possible journey.

𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐲𝐥𝐞

During this season it is possible that you are faced with the possibility to explore and reset your actual journey, this is something that will manifest rapidly and it’s very likely there’s not much from this time that will stick with you for the long run. But, I think it could be beneficial to go along certain impulses if you’re willing to figure out what exactly did that impulse try to communicate to you. There’s plenty of self imposed values and ideals that do not exactly belong to you, and plenty of needs stemming from them that are not yours. It wouldn't be too bad if you let go of a few imposed structures. This moment in time will provide you with opportunities to learn by experiencing the world in the way you are meant to, even if everything seems uncertain and unstable, you have nothing to fear about having to adjust to chaotic changes instead of having to adjust to a forced monotony.

𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞 & 𝐫𝐞𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩𝐬

This season is coming with plenty of abundance. You might feel as if it is a matter of luck, but in reality things are going your way because you are going your way. This moment in your life is meant to test your ability to stay in your lane and care for the things you have achieved at this point of your journey. It’s very likely you are now beginning to understand how much power you have over your own joy and your own prosperity, and this season will provide you with opportunities to learn how to navigate uncertainty and how responsibilities are not meant to be limiting, but more so a key part in your exploration of what independence actually is. You will become more aware of how you need a certain amount of order and limitations to fully embrace your individual essence, as these responsibilities are what keep you motivated to grow.

𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬

There’s going to be plenty of satisfactory outcomes for you this season, which don’t involve being overly proud or overly confident, they have the potential to lead to new ambitions that might conflict with your comfort in living a pretty individualistic life . Your accomplishments will demand you to rethink your path and your long term objectives, as you are now committed in ways that at times might feel overwhelming. You are going to get a lot of what you always desired, but it will take you some time to get used to it, and to be properly grateful about this new life.

𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐲𝐥𝐞

You will no longer feel alone or alienated, instead, you will take a lot of the protagonism in both new and old spaces where you might have felt left aside. People are catching up on how good you’re doing, and your creative energy is quite contagious. The current season usually feels overly unstable and uncertainty is riddling everyone, but you are actually in a pretty good moment in your life. Keep your priorities straight even if you choose to go out of your way to help others. You definitely understand the importance of generosity, but don’t let it come from your ego. Be mindful of how you present to others and be ready to deal with jealousy.

This is your season, and it shows. Your creative energy and your wisdom will allow you to fully be in charge of the type of experiences you want to contribute to your personal growth. Maybe right now it's not the best time to seek out the life changing events, but instead it would be just as nourishing to your intellect and your soul to open up for the life changing people who will most likely show up to you this season. You will inspire and be inspired in ways that are unexpected, and also by facing challenges alongside people who share your values and ideals. Right now it is key that you don’t look for validation by asserting your position in any kind of hierarchical way, but instead by allowing your individuality to be the main source of power and drive to further allow your virtues to show themselves naturally.

𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬

In plenty of situations you will be challenged to find the balance between community and individuality, especially when it comes to conflict that's caused by miscommunication or an illusion of order breaking apart. This season will provide you with opportunities to learn how the greater good is just as necessary as your own wellbeing, and how you should be in spaces where your ideals and values are shared. You are not meant to submit to anything, but instead you are meant to cooperate in a way that's honest and genuine to your essence as a person.

𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐲𝐥𝐞

There's going to be a lot to overcome, both in the material sense as in the more existential and emotional senses. You are beginning to find confidence within yourself, and your journey is becoming more and more complex, this brings out plenty of conflictive energies into your life, yet not all of them are meant to be seen as a mere inconvenience, some of them are actually necessary obstacles to overcome for you to go as far as you want to go in life. Although at the moment you could be feeling limited by an unfair power dynamic or by a restrictive sense of order, you have the capabilities to work out a way around most things in your life. It is very important that you don’t shy away from facing the adversities in your path as they will follow you if you don't solve them.

History, Evolution, and Diversity of Western Astrology

The Allegorical Skies of Mesopotamia, Chaldea, Egypt, and Greece

Today, in the Río de la Plata region, we informally celebrate Astrologer's Day. This day was established by Boris Cristoff in the distant year of '87 to break the stigma surrounding the practice of Astrology and related disciplines. It secularizes the celebration of the Christian Epiphany associated with the Three Wise Men.

I took the trouble to investigate whether Cristoff was a Christian man, but neither the press where he worked for so many years nor what I could read in some of his books showed the slightest evidence that this was possible. Instead, he seemed to exude secularity, as any good Uruguayan enthusiast might. Thus, Boris decided to secularize three mythological astrologers to honor the profession for which he left behind a career in architecture.

Additionally, it appears that a supposedly global association of astrologers has had its international day established on the vernal equinox since the '90s. However, my research revealed that they do not give it as much importance as we Uruguayans and Argentinians do on this day.

So, Happy Astrologer's Day! A warm hug to the watchers of the constellations, lunar mathematicians, and star decoders. I also celebrate my own art, Magick, and its artists—the magicians, weavers of the invisible, illusionists of the ether, and multipliers of doors.

The journey of Astrology begins with humanity gazing at the night sky in search of answers to the mysteries of existence. At its core, observing the stars is a silent dialogue between ephemeral human hopes and the vast Cosmos.

In general terms, we can say that Astrology, as we know it, took its current form in classical Greece. It was precisely in Greece, between the 2nd and 1st centuries BCE, that the concept of an astrological chart or natal chart was developed. Although its historical roots are in the Mesopotamian civilizations, this original Astrology did not include planets, signs, or houses as we know them today. Instead, it used the relative positions of planets concerning star formations as oracles applied to events of nations rather than individuals.

Another significant component of Greek Astrology, in addition to the Mesopotamian influence, is the Egyptian aspect. However, the Astrology of the Egyptian civilization also did not have signs or houses. It was almost entirely sidereal – that is, related to the stars – and was not used for personal predictions but rather to understand the destiny of the nation personified by the Pharaoh and for sacred ceremonial rites.

Both Mesopotamian and Egyptian forms of Astrology focused primarily on predicting the cycles of floods, river overflows, and the sowing calendar – all crucial events for the survival and prosperity of these civilizations. In modern Astrology, Mars and Saturn are still considered "malefic planets" because, in the Sumerian calendar, they were visible during the dry season, associated with death.

Classical Greek civilization, and later Hellenistic, granted Astrology the role of predicting individual destinies. From Ptolemy's era, the current form of modern Astrology is recognizable. Ptolemy's great work was to systematize Astrology, stripping it of the superstitious elements of archaic religious character to make it compatible with the philosophies of Aristotle and Plato, adopting a more rational view of the cosmos.

The Tropical Zodiac

There are significant differences between the tropical zodiac and the constellations that gave rise to the names of the zodiac signs. The tropical zodiac is defined symbolically and mathematically from a specific point in the sky: the origin point of the coordinate system, or 0 degrees Aries, which is the intersection between the celestial equator – the extension into the sky of Earth's equator – and the Earth's orbital plane, known in ancient terms as the apparent path of the Sun along the year against the backdrop of fixed stars at the March equinox. With this definition – starting from the spring equinox in the northern hemisphere – the tropical astrological year correlates stably with the vernal point, the seasons, and the tropics, hence its name.

The zodiac signs are 30° segments on the ecliptic, occupying equal plots established by dividing the 360° ecliptic into 30°. The symbolic characteristics related to the interpretation of the signs are divorced from the constellations that gave them their names during the Greek period. This is the system used by the vast majority of Western astrologers today.

Depending on how the sky is divided, the constellations can overlap in different ways. The ecliptic crosses more than 12 constellations, and which ones to consider has been a topic of discussion for centuries. The tropical system, on the other hand, is an idealization to achieve a perfect, repeatable system without adjustments that result in arbitrary interpretations.

The astronomical phenomenon known as the precession of the equinoxes was already known at least since the 1st century BCE among the Mesopotamian civilizations. In Greece, its discovery and measurement are attributed to Hipparchus of Nicea. Because the precession of the equinoxes is a notable effect over time – 50.3 arc seconds per tropical year – and the 0-point of the Aries constellation varies according to the system adopted by the interpreter, the tropical system is considered more rational and precise in its measurements, even though it is an idealized and simplified model.

The Main Orientations of Modern Astrology

Today, Astrology has two main trends that use the same tools but adopt different approaches: humanistic Astrology, focused on describing personal factors in natal charts and psychological tools; and rational Astrology, focused on predictive aspects.

The zodiac and its signs, the planets – including celestial bodies not considered planets by science like the Sun, Moon, Pluto, asteroids, certain mathematical points, etc. – and houses are symbolic constructs for both astrological trends. The planetary positions used are the real apparent positions, but the interpretive context known as signs comes from the tropical zodiac.

A minority of Western astrologers seek to reintroduce sidereal Astrology into traditional Astrology. Specifically, they aim to use real constellations with a zodiac not synchronized with the seasons but with the background stars. Interpretatively, this represents a return to a mechanistic view, establishing a causal relationship between the planets and human behavior on Earth – ideas that Astrology abandoned a couple of millennia ago. The notion that Astrology serves to predict people's destinies is what critics of Astrology, who know nothing about it but want to appear critical, rational, and intelligent (more intelligent than others), still think. It is also what some horoscope enthusiasts believe. It is curious that, more than two thousand years after being abandoned, both Astrology's harshest critics and its most ardent believers share this ridiculous belief.

The mechanical problems that sidereal Astrology currently faces are the same as in ancient times, namely: constellations vary in size and overlap; the width of the zodiacal band is variable; signs can be more or fewer than twelve and do not always correspond with fixed calendar dates; the system's starting point can change at the astrologer's discretion. These discrepancies also bring interpretative problems in deterministic issues and due to the lack of firm tradition, making it difficult to assign meanings if new signs and variables are continually added ( Let's be honest: there aren't many astrologers with scientific inclination and/or resources to dedicate their entire lives to serious Astrological studies with modern tools)

However, there are sidereal astrological variants such as Chinese and Hindu Astrology that do work, but it's important to understand that their approach is not individual as in Western Astrology. Trying to interpret Eastern Astrology in a personal context is similar to the issue of trying to import karma and other Eastern concepts into our Western religions, including pagan ones.

Some Conclusions on Astrology

Astrology is symbolic. It uses the tropical zodiac because it physically correlates with the solar year, is mathematically consistent, is philosophically adequate for predictions, and generates a poetic language rich enough to be a common symbolic substrate for many people.

Western sidereal Astrology, though minor, exists. This trend revives the idea that constellations and planets have a causal influence on people.

Eastern sidereal Astrology also exists. It doesn't have the same focus as Western Astrology, and attempting to use it for horoscopes is as problematic as trying to fit any Eastern concept into the West.

Modern Western Astrology is neither causal nor deterministic. Despite the language it uses, Astrology is closer to the principle of correspondence. Among the two predominant trends in modern Western Astrology, most astrologers are humanistic, focusing on the psychological and introspective aspects of human beings, not on predictions (nor technical research).

There are ways to convert a tropical natal chart to sidereal zodiac systems. These calculations are complicated, and that's why there aren't simple tables floating around the web like there are with horoscopes, each more ridiculous than the last.

Astrology didn't get stuck in Antiquity, the Middle Ages, nor the Renaissance sages. There are ancient branches of Astrology that remain very useful, but there are also new ways of interpreting the sky and zodiacal cycles. Astrology is a diverse art, with many serious practitioners, and many more who aren't as serious.

Astrology in Western Magical Systems

In 3rd-century Gnostic Alexandria, Hebrew Kabbalists compiling the Sefer Yetzirah considered Astrology, due to its similarities with Kabbalah, as one of the great spheres of symbolic correspondences between the Microcosm and the Macrocosm. If Astrology and Kabbalah have something in common, it's the idea that each person has good or bad luck based on how they leverage their conditions and circumstances. Practically, Kabbalists found equivalences between the twelve signs, houses, conjunctions, oppositions, and elemental associations with the structure of the Tree of Life. Although they share similarities, Kabbalah and Astrology also have differences, especially philosophical ones. The most immediate is that Astrology fascinates by referring to a more personal orbit, while Kabbalah is transpersonal, metaphysical.

Over the centuries, rationalism discarded the web of symbolic relationships and analogies that Astrology had woven as an allegorical map, confining it to the realm of superstition. It wasn't until the last century that Carl G. Jung validated it as the atavistic imprint of our cultural patterns with his theory of archetypes.

Astrology is a model of knowledge that doesn't deserve the sad fate of oblivion, nor to be reduced to the star ephemerides of black horoscopes because it belongs to the sphere of mythical-symbolic knowledge, like the Arts. If intellectual laziness – often disguised as inner freedom – doesn't produce good botanists, good cooks, or good electricians, why would it produce good magicians, good tarot readers, good astrologers? A minimum of Astrology knowledge allows for a better interpretation of the Tarot, especially of decks from orders like the Golden Dawn or some of their followers, like the Rider-Waite-Smith deck, the most popular in the world.

Many people don't have the money for a course, but they can start by ignoring horoscopes and other astrological nonsense. In this century, we have the opportunity to learn like never before, and we can reflect on the freedom we have in the destiny

Pick a Card: New Moon Messages 🌙

pic source - pinterest

*･ﾟ✧Masterlist | *･ﾟ✧Ko-Fi

Hey folks, I'm back for a brief pick a card reading for this new moon solar eclipse. It's snowing here too much to see the eclipse but I got good pictures from last year to remember by. So I thought I'd do a mini reading on what you may need to know for this moon month. I'll be coming out with another pick a card shortly so stay tuned!

{alsoalso: my blog just turned 2 years old! wowie!}

Pile 1 - Crystal 🖤 Pile 2 - Frost 🤍 Pile 3 - Liquid 💛

Pile 1 - Crystal 🖤

4 of Wands, XVII Star, VII Chariot; Supermoon - Emotions are running high, Retrograde - Review, Venus in Virgo - Discrimination, Limitless: "Know your worth."

Hey pile 1. Despite the usual quietude of new moons, you got the Full Supermoon card! I'm feeling a spark in your pile. I think out of all three, you are the most optimistic when it comes to the next few months after this eclipse. You are ready to engage in something special in your life that will bring expansion into your overall life. What you've been hoping or praying for may come into manifestation after this lunar cycle, and it may rock your world a little bit. This could be a graduation you're looking forward to, or a special event you've been invited to. I'm largely getting "event", that this will involve going somewhere. It will infuse you with a sense of hope and wonder.

With Retrograde, however, there may also be caveats worth looking into. As I'm writing this, we're in a retrograde, but if you're reading this at a different time it could be referencing a closer period of time for you. Retrogrades make us detach from the usual flow of tasks to think things over more thoroughly. With Venus in Virgo, this is a time to look very closely into details. Some of you may be looking into colleges. Even if you got accepted to a dream school, this is a reminder to look more gingerly into the documents you'll be signing. Feeling rushed into doing something is often a sign to refrain from acting in the moment, but during this new moon it would be good to practice precaution either way.

This isn't to say "avoid, don't do, it's bad", like in this example your dream school could very well be your ideal school. But it's important to know what you're getting into instead of believing that the tiny things will work themselves out without intervention. (If you have insurance and you don't want to get on the schools' insurance and end up paying more, you have to actually notify them!! x_X) If you're meeting someone for a date and something seems off, it's okay to reschedule the date to do a little more research or personal reflection. It's okay if you need extra time to mull big decisions right now, because these big decisions may play a big role in your life. Wishing you the best outcome, pile 1!

Pile 2 - Frost 🤍

XXI The World, Ace of Pentacles, 6 of Swords; Balsamic Moon - A Time For Healing, Pisces - Sensitize, Saturn in Aries - Risk, Self-Care: "Spoil yourself in the moonlight."

How's it going, pile 2. Before pulling cards I felt your vibe being sooo chill yet also warm like a cup of mint tea. This is certainly a time to give yourself the spa day and bedtime you deserve. I'm reminded of Atlas while looking at the World card here, like you've been shouldering a heavy burden for a while, and each sign represents a different responsibility or role you've had to take on in recent months. To others, you've had to play as the funny friend, the smart nerd, the dependable devotee, the cool rebel. And this new moon is bringing a time where the masks come off and these temporary illusions can be put to rest.

There's so much you've had on your plate that this time for healing is truly necessary. Spiritually and physically. It's unseen but I'm getting that there could be issues that develop later on if you try to ignore this need. I'm mainly seeing de-stressing methods, finding relaxing activities or eating food that calms your mind and muscles. I have recently found that it's easy to relieve jaw tension by snacking on something crunchy, for example, so a veggie platter may help when you're studying or working in the afternoon. There's also a spiritual component, although the nonspiritual folks in this pile may be more drawn to simple bed rest, meditation, deep art and music, or nature walks. Those here who are more religious would greatly benefit from activities that are nourishing to the soul, like reading your favorite scriptures or attending community gatherings that uplift the spirit.

The action you choose is not as important as the recovery. That is your primary message from the solar eclipse: do not bypass the need for regeneration, and with 6 of Swords, don't be afraid to move on from the masks that are falling apart. You've either passed or will be soon passing a major cycle and so you must have some kind of intermission before moving forward. It's really easy to wing it and say "I'll be fine," but if your body starts showing weird signs, listen to them! Cancel the class, talk to a doctor if need be, and get some sleep! Spring will have plenty in store for you so please be kind and respectful to your boundaries as you carry on. Take care, pile 2.

Pile 3 - Liquid 💛

6 of Cups, Queen of Wands, 5 of Swords; Blue Moon - Believe in the Impossible, Debilitated - Discomfort, Sun in Pisces - Vision, The Moon: "Take time to reflect."

Hello, pile 3. Your pile lunged itself at me as though the cards were super excited to get on with the reading. I'm feeling the urge to just get out of the old winter cave and be seen. The Queen of Wands in the center confirms that for me. You're coming into the new season with a lot of zest and momentum. You may already have an idea you wish to set in motion and can't wait to get started. However, the cards also say that you may currently feel held back in some way from being able to do so.

This sort of energy reminds me of a runner who's waiting for the marathon to start and is jumping around in place unable to contain their own nerves. Or like a flower anxious to come out of the ground even while it's still snowing outside. There's a certain amount of inconvenience or stagnancy you're having to put up with, which may come with some frustration. "When can I get this show on the road!" I hear. Despite this, the new moon's advice here is to step back and look over your future goals with care. The 5 of Swords can be about pushing something down for something else to rise, so it could be that you're being prevented from an unforeseen issue later down the road that could be costly to you. For example, a flower that pushes too fast to grow above the others may suddenly find themselves frozen over, leaving more room for other flowers to succeed in its place. In other words: "check yourself before you wreck yourself!"

The main message is to take it easy and conserve your energy for when it's finally time to bloom. When you're able to reassess your vision of the future to align it more closely with your values, instead of repeating past patterns, you may find that things will progress faster than you think once the marathon actually begins. And you'll be in a better position to handle it. You still have time to figure things out. Don't wear yourself thin before you've even gotten started, pile 3. Keep your energy tank and emotional reserves in check and the solar eclipse will usher in a beautiful and productive new season for you in the months to come. Godspeed, pile 3!
