Hologram Tarot 2024 - Last Quarter Hard to believe we’re already here, but it’s time for the final quarter reading of 2024. To celebrate surviving another year of medical challenges and hopefully being on the way to a solution, I got this beautiful Antique Anatomy Tarot deck by Claire Goodchild. First card pulled was the Three of Blades. Don’t panic! Mourning is a natural (and healthy) part of any grief process. Sometimes that grief comes from what we’ve had to give up or let go because of life circumstances. Locate those wounds and process the pain while holding the lessons it brought close to your heart. With such an emotional release, you can refocus and realign. It’s possible to be grateful for where you are and what you have while still mourning what could’ve been. After all, you survived this, and that’s something to be proud of. Take a break for a moment to enjoy what you’ve worked so hard at on your recovery journey. Treat yourself to celebrate. And when you’re done relaxing, take some time to get curious about where life goes from here. You’re being supported during this big internal change, so ask yourself, “by this time next year, who do I want to be?” or if that’s hard to answer, simply ask, “how do I want to feel?” and focus on that first. Let enthusiasm for the inner adventure light your creative fire. Our overarching energy is the High Priestess. We had this card in the first quarter of the year as well, so think of it as a nice bookend to a transformative year. Intuition is like a muscle, it takes practice to learn to discern. Part of it is also embracing the mysteries of life. Without clear cut answers as to why strange things in life happen, it’s up to us to explore what these things mean to us. Our Angels of Abundance oracle card reminds us that sometimes we hold ourselves back from receiving from a place of guilt or feeling like we don’t “deserve” anything good in life. Either because we’re rebuilding from mistakes that cost us something precious, or because we have old programming about needing to “earn” support. Challenge these ideas about yourself and your worthiness. Remember, you can’t change the past. All you can do is focus on each present step.

I did the Marigold Tarot Deck last night, now I'm doing the Antique Anatomy Tarot. It's a great deck! I am really looking forward to having a good relaunch of the Etsy. Technically it is open now.

TO MY FREE READINGS-- HOPE YOU LIKE THIS DECK. It's the one I want to use for your readings. After I finish digitizing it into TableTopSimulator, I will be able to use it in my process (where I draw the card for real, then replicate it in TTS, so I don't have to fumble with actually taking a photo, just take a screenshot).

PS, did my best on the alt text for those images but 🤦‍♀️🤷‍♀️

The Hanged Man. Art by Claire Goodchild, from The Antique Anatomy Tarot.

NUMEROLOGY: 12

ASTROLOGICAL CORRESPONDENCE: NEPTUNE

ELEMENT: WATER

COMPANION CARDS: THE EMPRESS, THE WORLD

At first glance the Hanged Man can cause feelings of unease and fear, until you realize that the rope around his neck is loose, and he is there voluntarily. Technically, he can walk away whenever he wants to, but he understands that it's where he needs to be right now.

The Hanged Man is all about suspended time and the act of taking a break. Sometimes doing nothing at all can help you to view a situation through a new and renewed lens.

There is also an underlying energy of acceptance with this card. Understand that there are some things you can't change, and that occasionally you need to give something up in order to gain something better. 

Keywords: Introspection, sacrifice, reflection, perspective, acceptance

For the three kings divination test! My name is Setanta (he/it), my king is the king of wands (I'm assuming that's what you meant? I can resend the ask if not), it's an in court question, my element is water, and my question is: how do I get back into being creative for its own sake? School has really drained me of my energy, and I want to start enjoying doing my own writing for fun, but I can't make myself for some reason. Just kinda looking for advice! :D

Three Kings Divination Explanation

Ah, not quite what I meant about King or Queen, that just represents which of the two "higher Court" members I use for the reading, so in this case, you're the King of the Court of Water! So congratulations, you have been sent from the Court of Fire to reign in the absence of the King of Water and thus temporarily take that mantle.

For this reading, the Antique Anatomy Tarot is the querent and the King of Elixirs along with the head of the Court of Water, the Neopets Tarot is the Queen and the Queen of Cups, and the Skyrim Tarot is the Fool and the Knight of Voice.

You are the King of Elixirs, head of the Court of Water. Your advice to yourself is the Page of Rods upright and Strength upright. You're on the verge of a snap from stagnation to creative activity, but you need to think calmly about it - you need to make opportunities for yourself to indulge in creativity. Make it bad, but make it.

In my practice, I don't associate the Major Arcana with elements unless they come built-in with elements in the deck already like this deck has. Strength is associated not just with Fire but also with Leo. Water and Fire are enemy elements who have a similar approach and would work well together if they could just mediate for five minutes, but Fire would rather suplex Water into a wall and Water wants to drown Fire in the kitchen sink. They would benefit each other well by just talking.

Your Queen is the Queen of Cups, the Soup Faerie. She is a Faerie who lives in Neopia Central and spends her days stirring her magical cauldron of soup, which she gives for free to broke Neopians. Her advice to you is the Ten of Cups upright and the Knight of Wands upright. There are many fun things you can do to create, especially for yourself, but sometimes the greatest way to get back into the creative streak is to talk to a friend or family member who encourages your creativity! Charge forward and create, don't merely wait for the mood to strike.

Well look at that, another Water-Fire duo...looks like the Court of Fire misses you. Perhaps doing a Fire-focused creativity spell, potentially involving candles if you can burn them safely, might be something you should look into.

Your Fool is the Knight of Voice, Arngeir of the Greybeards. He is the highest-leveled Greybeard and the only one of the four who can speak safely without rattling the walls. His advice to you is the Knight of Spells upright and Justice upright. He advises that you focus on things that spark your passion, like pieces of media you enjoy, but also warns that focusing solely on creativity might make you arrogant. A balanced approach is called for, so don't burn yourself out by focusing on creation to the detriment of your physical health.

As established, I don't usually associate the Major Arcana with elements unless the deck comes built in with them. On the other hand, Justice depicts Talos the Stormcrown, the King of Earth and Sky, the Dragon of the North. This is the Earth and Air, the mediating elements between Water and Fire, that has been missing in this reading. Finally, someone is here to reel things back and take a realistic approach.

It's not often that I receive the same card from multiple decks in these readings, so is there someone around you that you can describe with the Knight of Wands? Someone passionate, creative, who you enjoy talking to and can speak on equal terms with? Perhaps this is the friend you should make in order to give your creativity a phoenix-esque resurrection.

Please reblog this with feedback or send feedback to the ask box, as this is part of a test of the Three Kings Divination!

These readings wipe me out, so any insight, munching and crunching, and rambling thoughts you have about the reading will be very helpful with me analyzing how well this spread is doing! Anything you feel is pertinent, interesting, or personal - including your own interpretations of the cards or elements, if you wish - are welcome! Feel free to reblog this to whatever blog is most appropriate!

Moon Phase: Waxing Crescent

Venus.

Expansion and growth. Leaving behind what no longer serves you.

You're in a period of abundance and opportunity right now! The opportunities that you're facing are endless - whatever it is that you're going for, now is the time to be making those bit movements to set your goals in motion. The Empress urges you to do what's right for you at this time - growth can't be achieved if you're not placing your seeds in fertile ground.

Getting Capricorn and Pisces vibes here!

If you'd like a more in-depth reading or a reading about something else entirely, reach out to me! :)

reacquainting with the antique anatomy

card: fig. iii, rods

element: fire

signs: aries, leo, saggitarius

matters: creative and spiritual matters

the imagery here is of three upright rods, the two on the outside featuring hooks turned inwards. the middle rod has no hook. the flowers are red, almost look like poppies? i'm not really getting too huge of a vibe, just a sort of.. steady energy, almost. not calm but consistent.

upon reading the definition, this card is about the completing the initial stage of a new adventure. or, getting over the hump of starting something new. it's kind of about planning for the future but reflecting on what's already been done.
