Tarot • pick a pile • general reading

Mystery Reading — pick a pile for your message *.☁️’’

Pile 1 — Pile 2 — Pile 3 — Pile 4 — Pile 5

☁️

Please pick the pile that you feel drawn to the most!

Pile 1

Pile 1, I see help being received after a long time coming. Abundance rolling in. You’ve been in a position of recovery for a while, that small sliver of hope you’ve been holding onto during this time will bear its fruits eventually. You may require the assist of outside support / outside support is on its way.

Something in your life previously has been knocked down completely, this thing is still very strong in your memory even now. I know you must feel it still to some extent. You must have empathy for yourself when coming to terms with this. Gentle steps in the right direction: self forgiveness and moving foreward.

I wish you nothing but the best pile 1. You deserve the good things coming towards you, you just need to accept them when they do arrive. Clinging to the past too much will only recreate those circumstances in the present if you’re not careful. The night has been hard and cold but the mornings rays will arrive soon enough. But try not to be too spooked by their warmth ok? It’s something new, and we tend to get used to the things we expect to happen. So when something different happens we tend to get sceptical almost. Your energy being too guarded towards the things you want to attract will make life unnecessarily harder for yourself.

Pile 2

Contemplating your own future plans, pile 2? You’ve been in a period of sleep for a while now, focusing on crafting the things you want to see in your world. The horizons glance yields summertime sadness. Yet that sunset will give rise to the possibilities of tomorrow once the night is over. The night is when the subconscious comes to power after all. Processing the happenings of yesterday, your memories are being replayed and new understandings are being gleaned from them. The behind forces working away when the world sleeps. That’s you at the moment pile 2. Working in the quiet of the night, burning the midnight oil as they say, to chip away at your dreams. A fine piece of work is coming into view. You’re processing the past so that you can create the future.

When the morning comes is something in your control here, when you’re ready the world will open up to you. Tempt the wands of fate and you’ll manifest the best thing you could have dreamed of.

Additional note: Someone’s mad at how well you’re doing in life I’ll tell you that much.. be careful though pile 2. Don’t underestimate the effects of others. You’ll be ok though; I don’t see you being that affected by this negative energy. It’s kind of coming you of nowhere though, so it may be unexpected to some extent.

Pile 3

What goes around comes around. The truth is being unearthed. Someone or something who hurt you in the past is being held responsible. And it seems to have been a long time coming, the righteous will is stronger than lies. Snow is falling. The world has changed and time has past, but your endurance in this situation is commendable. It’s not something you should just let slide. The accountability you’ve been waiting for will come to pass. Things are being payed up. Whatever has happened is something that has haunted you even when your life has changed a new. I sense that your life will also transform even more once it’s fully in the past and no debts remain unpaid. Good luck pile 3. Your patience will be worth it. (This may have been a legal or personal battle, or something else potentially, but the overall message is the same.)

Pile 4

Pile 4, it seems you’re still waiting on the outcome of a decision to pass. Everything is up in the air now, and you’re waiting for new information. Whatever it is you’re waiting on will arrive in good timing, from an understanding source. It may give more of an emotional effect than you were anticipating, this news may be not what you were hoping for. In fact you may be upset or disappointed. But fear not, there is a silver lining to this end. The beginning of a new dream, setting you sights on something higher I see. You’re being redirected towards something better. Whatever your choice here, you’ll be alright. Though I recommend hearing out what else could be out there for you. There’s no need to limit yourself to one path that’s not working when there’s an even greater one for you out there. Traditions can be broken at the drop of a hat. You have no holdover to promise the past your tomorrows. It’s the past, (maybe look into the concept of ‘the sunk cost fallacy’ as this seems to be in your energy at the moment) no need to waste more time on it. Endings always bring beginnings.

Pile 5

How come you’re holding yourself back from what you want? You have the resources to move forward, and yet, you don’t. Because of fear. You want that cup of warm tea and fresh bread, yet you deny yourself the idea of you being hungry in the first place.

I apologise if this is blunt but you need to step up into your power pile 5. No more faffing about. This is a cycle that can break anytime you want. You just need the strength of setting your mind to it. Baby steps if you must. Rebirth takes time after all, even after you are reborn a new, you still need to learn how to walk all over again. How to drink that cup of tea that you’ve always wanted. Gentle reminders can only go so far though, the blinding logic here is that you’ve hit a road block : yourself. Your own cowardice and self victimisation. It’s biting you in the ass man. There’s no need for guilt, that’s pointless, so is feeling sorry for yourself for feeling this way. That’s needless as well. You owe that to no one. Not yourself, you deserve better.

🗡️🫀

May the blade be in your service, the loyal weapon of your thoughts and motivations, working in your favour. And not wedged into your heart; cutting it open and letting yourself bleed out. The stain of red is only so important after a while, it’ll seem silly in retrospect to have worried so much. Our hearts still beat the same for tomorrow as they did yesterday and the day before. It’s the reminder that you’re still here, and that your dreams still are too.

Pile 6

You’ve been set up to make an important decision soon pile 6. It seems to be something you’re still in your mind about. To the chagrin of those around you seemingly; who just want you to make your mind up already and be done with it. I think you are wise to have waited to put more thought into this. It’s no small choice even if it seems like it on the outside. My advice here is that temperance is a virtue, sometimes the middle path is what yields the most results. A more subtle approach or letting go of false polarities might help here. Whatever decision you make will mean the death of something and the result of new found fortune. Sowing seeds for the first time in a long while. You’ll be alright, use your discernment properly here. Don’t jump too fast just to appease outside forces, that may cause you some regrets. Making a poor decision on your own judgment is upsetting, yet acting in haste tends to make the outcomes even more regrettable if things turn negative. You’ve got this pile 6. Slow down and think clearly, you’ve got enough time.

[mercifullymad]

In capitalist political economies, illness is seen as a drag on productivity. Frequent or prolonged illness is often seen as disqualifying or devaluing an individual's labor power. There is a rush to be over with ill health and get back to work as quickly as possible. Rest is scarce, and all treatment under health-capitalism is rationed along class lines. The ways we encounter medicine reflect this dynamic: care is designed around billable encounters, acute care is the most easily accessible, and our cultural imaginary frames disease as something which is episodic. The provisioning of medical care and the social determinants of health have been based on a system of triage that attempts to devote maximum care resources to those most able to contribute productively to the economy.

pac why people are drawn to you

reminder: these are very general readings. messages can be picked from each pile and apply to you and your current situation. take what resonates, leave what doesn’t :)

pile 1

people are drawn to you, pile 1, because of your ability to make peace with the unpredictable nature of life and the way you are able to embrace spontaneity! they find that those aspects of your personality are naturally magnetic and keep them coming back for more! you know where you stand and don’t feel the need to sugarcoat your true opinions because of other peoples feelings. they see you facing things that would normally overwhelm others, and they see you take control and somehow manage it in stride! you’re an admirable person to others, sure you might have a tough exterior but that just makes it all the more worth it when people are able to sneak past your high walls and make a place for themselves in your life!

pile 2

people are drawn to pile 2 due to your stable lifestyle and personality! people crave normalcy, so you having a more “normal” lifestyle draws people in. they want what you’ve somehow managed to achieve and maintain. you’re able to look within yourself when things start to move out of place and you can fix everything with little to no stress about it. you’ve learned how to identify symbols and patterns in a way that keeps everything in order and on track. you may have a habit of being overly cautious from time to time but that quality is one that people find endearing in a way. you’re the person that people want to have available to talk to when they’re feeling overwhelmed. you have a natural talent of calming people down and being understanding of their worries while giving actually helpful advice!

pile 3

pile 3, people are drawn to you because you believe that there is no “either/or” with you. you believe that everyone has a place and that no one should be limited by choices! you have untapped potential and you see that untapped potential in everyone else as well! you have the type of personality that can somehow have their cake and eat it too if you know what i’m saying lol. you have a unifying view of the world instead of one that sees only the division between people. you see the imbalance and excess in life and turn it into something better. you’re also who people turn to when they have to come to a compromise, you’re a natural mediator and that allows you to spread your knowledge and ideas to others!

if you’d like a more in depth reading i offer paid readings here!! i also have a tip jar if you’re feeling kind,, tips are not expected but they are very appreciated! any feedback is appreciated as well, i hope this reading was helpful to you in one way or another :)

What is soon to begin with the October 14th new Moon in Libra? 🌑⚖️

Whether you're planning something special for the upcoming new Moon or no, let's take a peek ahead at what dear Luna is going to bring into form for you as she begins a new cycle... Tonight's pick a pile reading has three piles to choose from. Pile one has the crown charm, pile two has the lady charm, and for pile three there are the butterfly and globe charms. Choose according to which pile you feel most drawn to, there's no need to second-guess yourself. Revealed cards and readings may be found beneath the cut. ⊹⋛⋋(☌⌔☌)⋌⋚⊹

For those who chose pile one, with the crown charm, what is beginning for you with the upcoming new Moon is an opportunity for material gain, elevation in status, in general an improvement in your quality of life. Earthly pleasures.

It may come in the form of an offer, or simply a sudden upswing. The specifics will be different for each person as this is a general reading, but it will be very enticing and exciting to you - almost as if too good to be true.

For most this is a genuinely good offer, but this does not mean that the first to come your way will be certainly good - use your head, evaluate things carefully, you may have to choose between multiple unequal options.

With this incoming opportunity there is a test for you - you must temper your excitement and desire in order for this to be steady, and become reliable, something you can keep for long. Remember the stories of princes turning away beggars at the gate, only to learn that the beggar was a fairy in disguise. If you rush, neglect to show care for others in your actions, deny kindness to those you meet, or seek to do ill with what you gain, you will lose it.

This gain is not only for the benefit of yourself, it is something you can grow until it lifts up others alongside you. Look forward to what is to come and take care what you do with it, pile one!

If you are wanting a more personal look at this or other matters, such readings are once again open, and can be had here. ｡*ﾟ+.*.｡ﾟ

Pile two, with the lady charm, you have been struggling for long to make something work - you've been trying so hard. With the upcoming new Moon for you comes the end of this struggle, and a somewhat bittersweet new beginning. If you try to hold onto what is already lost, it will only draw it out. I know it is hard, I won't tell you it's so simple as that, but it is the truth. Although you must leave behind what you've been trying to force to make work, you will gain something much, much better.

Something truly fulfilling, something that can bring you the wish beneath the wish, is coming into form for you. With the end, you can choose in which direction you now want to go - the world is opening itself up to you. There are boundless possibilities, and even though none of them can truly replace what is gone they will be in themselves wonderful, happy things for you to experience. From your current vantage point, you could not imagine the amount of joy that is soon being poured into your cup!

I hope with all my heart that you will embrace this transition and the happiness to come, pile two.

If you are wanting a more personal look at this or other matters, such readings are once again open, and can be had here. ｡*ﾟ+.*.｡ﾟ

For those who chose pile three, with the butterfly and globe charms, what is beginning for you with the upcoming new Moon is a total upheaval of your life as it is now.

Your horizons are going to rapidly expand, as you step into the world and find that it is so vast, there is so much you could do and see and experience, there is so much available to you you feel you couldn't do it all in a single lifetime. You're coming unstuck from the dissatisfying current circumstance very, very quickly. It may be difficult for you to keep up with things as they fall apart and come together in new ways, it will likely be as uncomfortable as it is exhilirating.

For pile three, things you have dreamed of doing since you were small will be possible for you. Heart's fulfillment after a long time of waiting to be able to have fun, relax, explore, and exist without the constraints that now keep you in place.

A greater amount of control over the direction your life goes is close enough for you to take firm hold of. Keep your gaze forward and take charge.

For some of you, you will be starting a new project in collaboration with others that you will be very passionate about. This project will open new doors for you, and those doors too will open to new doors. For those of you who are beginning such an endeavor solo, expect to find likeminded peers who may become partners in this matter, or at least you will receive very useful advice that will change your mind about a crucial piece of this work from such persons.

Assess things as they play out carefully, seize opportunities as they come, and don't hold back, pile three. Whatever it is that you will do or create is not only something that you need, but also something that will inspire others - a ripple effect of good will come of it.

If you are wanting a more personal look at this or other matters, such readings are once again open, and can be had here. ｡*ﾟ+.*.｡ﾟ

Book Review: Poemas Esenciales, Miguel Hernández

My favorite poem of the book:

Casida del Sediento Aroma del desierto soy: desierto de sed. Oasis es tu boca donde no he de beber Boca: oasis abierto a todas las arenas del desierto. Húmedo punto en medio de un desierto abrasador, el de tu cuerpo, el tuyo, que nunca es de los dos Cuerpo, pozo cerrado a quien la sed y el sol han calcinado.

Tarot • pick a pile • general reading

Something positive about yourself that you’re not appreciated fully

°❀⋆.ೃ࿔*:･

Pile 1

Pile 2

Pile 3

°❀⋆.ೃ࿔*:･

Please pick the image or pile that you feel drawn to the most!

Pile 1

Practical minded, strong mature feminine energy, emotional connection and duality. You know how to take care of yourself and others.

Pile 1, I believe you have more balance within yourself than you realise. I get the vibe that you may consider yourself as more polarised in terms of your personality traits and capabilities than you actually are. You’re got a positive sense of duality within your energy. Not ignorant of your emotions regarding things but ultimately very practical minded. Perhaps paying more mind to all your aspects will make you feel more whole in a way. As this variety in your traits is something you’ve not fully appreciated yet. You’re also a lot better at fostering connections with others than you realise.

Pile 2

Strong emotional fortitude. A sense of grounded optimism and confidence. Talented and competent.

Pile 2, I feel like you don’t appreciate how solid your ability to lock in and get the things done that need to be done is. You have a good sense of optimism to you, and it’s not a naive or toxic kind, you have a very real grasp of yourself and how to consider things in a positive manner. ‘The glass may be half full right now, but I will work to make sure it becomes filled.’ You’re competent at what you do and I hope you realise that. You’re also a lot better at balancing your emotional processing than you realise. Even when things get tough, you persevere, stand firm and still continue onwards. Steady growth wins the race.

Pile 3

Visionary, optimistic and enthusiasm. Looking past the veil. Unwavering love of your life. Strong direction and hopes.

Pile 3, you’re quite the optimist. You look ahead towards the brighter things in life and don’t loose sight of your hopes and aspirations. There is an unwavering hope in you, it still stands strong no matter what has happened to you before. You’re willing to grow and try again even after hardships. You see past the darkness of life even when it seems all encompassing. I fear you may have diminished this aspect of yourself to become more conscious of other people around you, who may tend towards more pessimistic attitudes. A little realism is helpful, but wanting to aim for the best possible outcome is nowhere near foolish. You’re better at making decisions than you realise, I feel you may second guess yourself a lot, and the cards want to remind you that you’re in good hands: your own.

[mercifullymad]

It often seems to me, here [in the U.S.], that a person believes that if they tell you their story, that that’s who they are. And sometimes these stories are constructed of the most banal, secondhand, psychological and spiritual cliché, and you look at a beautiful, interesting face telling a story that you know doesn’t hold a candle to the life that’s secretly in there. So what I think happens here a bit is that there’s a reduction of identity to biography. And they’re not the same thing. I think biography unfolds identity and makes it visible and puts the mirror of it out there, but I think identity is a more complex thing.

pac messages from the archangels

reminder: these are very general readings. messages can be picked from each pile and apply to you and your current situation. take what resonates, leave what doesn’t :)

pile 1

archangel michael, the great defender and protector, sees your effort and is here to let you know that your hard work is not going unnoticed! you will succeed and grow at your own pace. it may not be as soon as you’re hoping for, but it will come to you in due time. you’ve worked your way through dark times and you’ll continue to be able to work your way through any difficult times ahead. michael recognizes the fact that sometimes you need a friend to help you out along your journey, he knows how important a good connection with someone can be. he wants you to know that the friends you have now are always going to support you but he will send more people your way so don’t worry about finding any new people to befriend. archangel michael will send good, kindhearted people your way to build more connections with!

pile 2

archangel raphael, the divine healer, sees how run down and hopeless you’ve been feeling as of late. he wants you to know that he is always there for you. whenever you need some guidance, call upon him! send a quick prayer or even just a thought his way and he will do whatever he can to help ease the pain. you might need to shake things up a bit to feel more like yourself. plan a vacation, go on a road trip! go somewhere new with no expectations held! changing your environment will allow you to spread your wings and get back to your old self again. even if it’s a solo trip, it will give you the opportunity to become friends with yourself, that way you can get back into the drivers seat of your life so to speak. give yourself the chance to explore and heal through trying new things! archangel raphael will be with you throughout the entire process, he won’t let you go down a path that’s not meant for you.

pile 3

archangel gabriel, the great messenger, has noticed your apathy and indifference about things. he’s seen you lose your spark, he wants to help you get that back. he knows how hard that might be which is why he’s here to listen. feeling heard is super important when it comes to feeling valued. sometimes we feel like we’ve been screaming for ages and no one has noticed, but archangel gabriel always notices. he’s always listening, waiting for you to reach out for his divine guidance. he oftentimes helps people reignite that spark that we tend to lose every once in a while. he can help stimulate progress and push you towards more creative ventures! you just have to let him in and let him guide you!

if you’d like a more in depth reading i offer paid readings here!! i also have a tip jar if you’re feeling kind,, tips are not expected but they are very appreciated! any feedback is appreciated as well, i hope this reading was helpful to you in one way or another :)

💝🌈 What's coming next in romance?

Today's pick a pile is centered around romance, specifically things happening (or at least starting) within the month of June 2023.

There are 6 piles to choose from - feel free to pick more than one if you feel like it. ♡ Pile 1 has a pink butterfly bead, small blue teddy bear bead, and blue star. ♡ Pile 2 has a charm with a small purple bunny framed by a gold square. ♡ Pile 3 has two silver charms, a magic wand and a cloud. ♡ Pile 4 has a clear red heart. ♡ Pile 5 has a small silver slipper on a pillow. ♡ Pile 6 has a wishing well charm.

The revealed cards & interpretations for each pile can be found under the cut. ₓ˚. ୭ ˚○◦˚.˚◦

♡✦♡✦♡✦♡✦♡✦♡✦♡✦♡✦♡✦♡✦♡✦♡✦♡✦♡✦♡✦♡

For those of you who chose pile 1, with the three small beads 🦋🌟🧸, to begin with this is your pile if you currently have feelings for someone but are keeping them hidden, unexpressed. You're trying (unsuccessfully) to get over this someone you never got with in the first place because you don't see this connection turning to a romantic relationship anytime soon, or that being possible at all. You see this person as off-limits to you for whatever reason. Something interesting here though is that this person isn't actually as off-limits or disinterested in you as you think they are - this dishonesty is mirrored, both of you have a distorted idea of what the other person wants from the other. It doesn't show me why the one you love is keeping their own feelings for you quiet, but I get the strong feeling that if you were to openly tell this person what you wish for from them, offer them a romantic relationship and be the first to bring that possibility out onto the table between you it would go better than you expect. There is potential for new romance to fully bloom, but it is stunted by misunderstanding one another's intentions and wishes. You can only have what you want if you ask for it. Having an open honest conversation, free from expectations (bad or good) and without trying to persuade this person to respond in a certain way but presenting/expressing clearly your feelings without any strings attached - just for there to be no secrets in this regard between you - is what you are advised to do. Not only for the sake of romantic potential, but because it will only become a thorn in your heart if you keep things as they are.

♡✦♡✦♡✦♡✦♡✦♡✦♡✦♡✦♡✦♡✦♡✦♡✦♡✦♡✦♡✦♡

For those of you who chose pile 2, with the small bunny charm, if this is your pile you aren't currently interested in anyone in particular, or are already fully content - this reading is a novelty to you more than something like you came here hoping to see confirmation or be surprised. Rather than seek out anyone's attention or affections, you've been focusing mainly on yourself, minding your own business. You are someone who is very attractive to others because you are so comfortable with yourself, or rather, that's part of what makes you so attractive to someone who has recently developed feelings for you. You don't see this person, either you don't know them well or they aren't even on your radar for romance in particular, and it is this knowledge that you don't need them to be happy that has them feeling so compelled to get to know you, to prove themself to you, to impress you somehow. This person is likely younger than you, or is just more immature than you in some way - maybe they have their head in the clouds a bit too much, aren't very practical, or their actions towards you are just obvious, they don't seem suave or cool - I see them stumbling over themselves a little bit trying to gain your attention. The advice for you here is to just keep doing what you're doing, and let others be the ones to seek your attention, to try to impress you, and not the other way around. This doesn't necessarily mean you can't be responsive, but you don't have to try to make anyone want you. Comfort, contentment, and joy is ahead for you in love.

♡✦♡✦♡✦♡✦♡✦♡✦♡✦♡✦♡✦♡✦♡✦♡✦♡✦♡✦♡✦♡

For pile 3, with the silver magic wand and cloud charms, this message is very specifically for you if you are currently in a relationship and unhappy with it. You know this is not what you want, this is not the love that you hoped for. If all is fair and fine, this is not your pile. Soon this relationship is coming to an end, if you allow it to. I can see that this has been dragging on for some time, because you have hope that this person will at some point have a change of heart, or be moved by your own love and efforts for them. They will not become who you want them to be - you can't change them, they have to make their own choices. All you can do is allow them to be who they are, and decide if this is really what you want. If you choose to let this end, to walk away, then and only then can something new and better come in. You already know what you want to do, if this reading is for you, and you are being given permission to leave. You don't have to feel guilty or ashamed. All of the love you have in your heart isn't to be wasted on someone who chooses not to appreciate it or you. This is not all that is possible - there is better waiting for you. What is coming next for you in romance is a wished-for ending, so that there can be a new beginning. Have more trust in yourself, pile three, you are capable of doing what is right for yourself and you are so fully entirely worthy of love.

♡✦♡✦♡✦♡✦♡✦♡✦♡✦♡✦♡✦♡✦♡✦♡✦♡✦♡✦♡✦♡

Pile 4, with the clear red heart, there are three different scenarios here: firstly a confession from someone who is serious about you but is unsure if you feel the same, in the second you are the one to confess to someone else, and the third is that some confession has already happened but you aren't sure what's going on between you two now. All three scenarios for this pile share a common thread - a confession that does not have a clear conclusion as to where things stand afterwards, a quick start followed by an abrupt stop, solid/true feelings but something is missing - mostly the timing is wrong. Beginning with the thread where a confession has already happened, one or both of you want to say something more but is hesitating now despite having been so impulsive before. You may feel unsatisfied with how it went, how things are, how you said something earlier but now want to say it a different way after thinking on it a bit more, an unsettled nagging feeling you can't put to rest because you don't want to mess things up. Maybe you fear pushing this person away if you bring it up again - either for appearing like you're pushing your feelings on them, or for seeming like giving mixed signals to them if you were on the opposite end. There's warmth here, but I am not sure if it is that both parties feel the same way or that things are just tender and amiable in general regardless. You care deeply about this person and they also care deeply about you, there is more than just romantic love here but love in a more general sense as well. There is uncertainty with regards to whether or not this person can give you what you're hoping for out of romance, whether you two feel the same way or not. It is also uncertain whether one of you is ready for a relationship to begin with. There is a sense of not wanting to mess up your existing connection with each other by rushing into romance without being certain of these and other matters, or by having it become romantic and then become sour or take focus away from other pressing concerns and areas of life. If it has yet to happen, take the above as an explanation of the future results, whether you are to be giving or receiving. The conclusion for these three is also similar: clarity is achieved only through bold action on your part. This situation doesn't feel like the type to satisfyingly resolve on its own. You are advised to pause for a moment before you act, and be certain of what you want from this all - try not to do too much in-the-moment thinking, that's what led to this to begin with, be clear with yourself before you speak. What do you want from romance? From this person? From saying what you're wanting to say? What do you hope to have happen? Then, raise these to the attention of the other person - allow them to answer you if you have questions, rather than leaving it up to your own imagination. This doesn't have to be so confusing, nor do feelings have to lead to a relationship if that is not what is wanted by both. A more satisfactory resolution is entirely possible. Things are going to progress in a way that will surprise you, in a good way.

For pile 5, with the slipper on a pillow charm, coming next for you in romance is an offer from someone, a show of interest. You don't expect it at all, at least not from the person it will come from. You are someone who wants a serious relationship, and you may feel unsure if this person is really being serious or if they are just playing around. There's a sense of distance between the two of you, either literal physical distance or emotionally being not on the same page. The past clouds your view of this proposition - you might overlay a completely different situation on top of this upcoming person, and feel that you are being tricked or messed with in some way. Try not to make any snap decisions, look only at what is and not what could be. If this person is not serious about you, and so not what you want in romance, you'll be able to feel them out very quickly - they might try to make themself appear more than they really are, whether that be more serious, more poetic, more intellectual, like they know you better than they really do, they won't be curious or open. The facade will disappear like a popped balloon at the slightest prodding. If this person is sincere, they will be patient and understanding and willing to meet you where you're at. It will feel gentle, as if it could melt your heart. Although you tend to be very on guard, pile 5, I can see that you also have secret dreams - ones that you regard as impossible, too good to come true. You don't have to accept this particular offer if it doesn't feel right, but a more important message than the prediction is that your dreams are not too good to come true.. It can be, truly. Such a lovely thing can happen for you. It's not foolish to believe in love, even if you have been disappointed, it doesn't mean it's impossible.

Pile 6, with the wishing well charm, here I see that right now you're feeling rejected, dejected, and alone. It seems impossible for your wish to come true as things are, to you. While you are stuck in this swirl of emotions, there is someone approaching you very quickly and with purpose - someone who has very recently fallen in love with you, who also deeply admires your strength and wit and sees you as just this exceptional person, to whom none can compare. You are unaware of their feelings because you are so focused on your own, but very soon they will make their feelings known to you - not obviously at first, this person doesn't want to rush you or add at all to your heartache, it will be easy to miss but they will not disappear on you. I can see that this person is careful, likes to plan things out before they act, it isn't that they are manipulative but every choice of theirs is made with clear purpose in mind. Whether or not this person is the kind of person you wish for is unknown to me from this reading, but what is clear is that their actions will at least cheer you up, pull you out of your own mind, give you something new to consider.
