the thing is life continues to be hard and brutal and test me in some really painful ways but also I’m doing soooooooooo much better than I was a year ago because so many things have changed that needed to change and my coping skills are better, my sense of self is more stable, my relationships are more stable. so like so much to be thankful about every day even though I almost never am because I’m ungrateful and self-absorbed in the moment.
#all of last year was just everything being upended#change on change on change#and so of course I was like ‘it’s been a year aren’t I DONE now’#and of course that is not life lol#(The best moment in the Barbie movie really was the ‘life IS change’ line)#but also sometimes you reap the fruit of hard things#and moving out and starting counseling#have both been huge#as things I needed and NEVER wanted#but I feel so glad for them now#and also just some of the stuff both of those changes have pushed me to examine#has led me to be so much more stable#overall I think#and like/ I’m still not happy all the time lol#there are things that are breaking my heart#and because I’m me there’s things that are breaking my heart that I know and things I’m probably not aware of#but I really do think some of the biggest things are settling#anyway will I feel terribly horribly sad soon? Yes probably.#But they are countered by these moments where my life feels for the first time like something I want to think about with my whole brain#and something that is enough to fill my whole heart#and it never did before. I was always like ‘yes yes my life that’s so good’ but also I was always trying to look away from it#and lose myself in endless distractions#and even sometimes the most beautiful side quests of my brain were still side quests#because I didn’t want to look at my life straight on#and somehow some equation has flipped and I don’t think of my life last now#or only out of the corner of my eye between my obsessions#out of fear and anxiety. Like I’m on my own kid I can face this! Etc.#and what I see is a life that IS good and has so much for me to do and there is so much to love and I DO have what I need#even if not’s what I ordered from the menu of life ANYWAY this is way more detail than you needed lolllll BUT YEah#just wanted to say it. thank you for listening

THINGS YOU CARRIED FROM YOUR PREVIOUS LIVES ⚖️
Please read : This is just a general reading and may not be 100% true all the times. Please use your brain before making any decisions. Kalki tarot is not responsible for your actions and life decisions.
PICK ONLY ONE PICTURE AND ALLOW ME TO TAP INTO YOUR ENERGY.
Pile 01
I can see you lived by a river, it seems to be the country side. Green grass and shallow wind is what I feel where you belonged. Your sense of belonging in nature comes from this lifetime. You felt comfortable laying over the grass and just looking at the clouds. You were an innocent human being. Your heart held deep sense of purity for everyone and everything. You belonged to a foreign country, different from where you are right now.
I'm getting one more lifetime for you, where you wanted to be a saint or a nun or something like that. You wanted to attain moksha so you decided to take necessary actions but your responsibilities held you down. You could not leave your family or responsibilities i guess.
Your were an emotionally intelligent human being. It can be your gift in your current lifetime to be knowledgeable about spirituality and mysticism. You were born with healing abilities and you may also be a psychic.
Another gift you carried in this lifetime is of alchemy. You may be interested into witchcraft and rituals. Try to practice it more, it will really work well for you. Don't use it for bad things though. You have the power to create and manipulate energies. Your soul possesses infinite knowledge about spiritual. Unlock your hidden potential for its best use.
One more thing I'm seeing is that you carried a lot of burdens too from your previous life. Some traumas or fears, it can be anything. This is the reason why your psychic gifts were blurred or you were just not able to believe in your self, you have wounds from past life too. Healing is needed.
Pile 02
Dear Pile 2, you were someone very helpful and empathetic in your previous life. You were a gentle human being, you may have active water placements in your chart which influence you the most. You were and still are someone very deep and emotional. You understand people around you but sometimes you feel misunderstood. You feel different from everybody else. Yes you are different and it's not bad to be different. You are indeed a very special human being.
In your previous life too, you were a nice person and you did many humanitarian works. All the good karma you did is coming back to you in this lifetime. Please don't let your pure soul get corrupted or influenced by negative people. You often struggle with patience, you get anxious and restless when things don't go as you planned or when you don't see results when you want it. This is what you carried in this lifetime too. Work on having patience. You will definitely reap the fruits of your labour, but before accepting divine timing only!
Again with the fool card, your energy is very restless and childlike. You have the curiosity of a child and you crave adventurous things in life. You can't sit at one place for a long time. But this over restlessness may make you do foolish things. You should try to shift your energy from wasting it on useless things to creating something with your creative mind. You are someone who can build a castle in the sky. What i mean is you have the potential to start from scratch and turn it into something big. Use your energy here rather than doing foolish things.
You were like a wise sufi saint in your past life and you've also carried a lot of wisdom from there. Sometimes you go like where am i even getting these wise thoughts from lol. Yes! You are a street smart person. Use your potential to create something big.
Pile 03
You were someone who used to run behind success. You had or still have a fear of failing and that comes from your past life. You were in a high position in your previous life and you constantly used to work hard for keeping up or maintaining what you had.
You lacked the need to rest. And due to this you became a little too much workaholic. You were too much indulged in your work life that you kind of forget your presonal life and relationships. You will be forced to address the fear of failure in this lifetime too.
And the karma for not addressing your personal relationships is that you will not have any genuine connections in this lifetime. But don't worry, once you accept balance in your life and address your mistakes, things will start aligning for you.
Have a balanced approach and towards work and personal life. Don't be too rational, listen to your head anf heart both. And try not to force yourself to work hard. You will not fail! Don't worry.

PAC: HOW WILL YOUR REST OF 2023 GO.
Close your eyes and take a deep breath. Ask yourself questions "how will my rest of 2023 go" and see where your intuition is taking you.
This is a general reading so it may or may not resonate with you
Pile-1 , pile-2, pile-3
PILE - 1
Hii, welcome to your pile. I hope 2023 has been treating you well. Here is your reading:
SEPTEMBER: You're trying to get your life structured this month. You are making a timetable or anything to get organised or even just try to devote time to things like doing workout everyday, spending time with yourself. Some of you could be waiting for someone's text and are not able to sleep because of that. So don't worry about it. Whether you receive that text or not, it will depend on fate. You sometimes have to let things go. Rest of you are overthinking about your future a lot so remember that overthinking won't take you anywhere, put efforts and take care of your health. You could have some issues with someone about how they want different things than you. For, some of you, it is internal (especially for people whose initials are R, T, A, N). Expect something to change and it will be fruitful.
OCTOBER: this month is more about reaping benefits of the seeds you sow. You will be dating someone. That person will be flirtatious and dramatic. Plan your steps with an eye to the long term. Don't make decisions quickly, analyse pros and cons according to the long term. Have some patience because you never know when you will receive something good. Learn to understand when you have to listen to your heart or mind. This will come very handy this month. Do not feel trapped because you will be longer stuck in that situation. Plan what to do next step carefully. Trust your intuition. Especially, do some chakra meditation. This month is about making decisions, thinking and falling for someone.
NOVEMBER: you will be leaving a bad habit behind. That habit which was holding you back and making you feel trapped. It can even be a person. Try to bring fun into things. Do not do them as some chores but make them fun. This month you really need to believe in yourself and have some self love. A lack of self confidence can keep you back from getting what you want. You have to realise that you are powerful and you can take back anything you want. A journey is now complete. You will also get success. I am not getting a lot for this month but learning to love yourself is the main highlight.
DECEMBER: you will have a financial windfall in December. Expect to receive money and some person who will support you. What I am getting is that, carry a notepad with you and write down whatever ideas you are having. You will have to learn how to communicate effectively. If you are getting some good ideas then implement it. Review your past and present and see how far you have come. Do not hold yourself onto certain standards or judge yourself, do whatever you feel like and however you feel like. You can also go to someplace or even purchase a vehicle. You will realise your dreams and will go after them this month. You will also try to come out of your comfort zone and feel more optimistic.
This was your reading pile 1. I hope it resonated.
PILE - 2
Hii, welcome to your pile. I hope 2023 has been treating you well. Here is your reading:
SEPTEMBER: you are not seeing something clearly this month. It seems like you are trying to ignore or take granted all the things you have and wishing to have other things. Many people who chose this pile are trying to manifest something important. If you will be focusing on what you don't have, you will not be able to manifest. Show some gratitude and see how fast things come for you. And also someone needs to hear this " A bright future is manifested through hard work and creativity." You will also feel satisfied from the work you have done. Many of you are afraid to take action even though you have plans and everything. So, take this as a sign and take some action. It will be great for you, if you will be fearless and pursue your dreams.
OCTOBER: you will get a friend with whom you can share your feelings with, without feeling any sort of judgement from them. You can feel a little powerless this month but if you realise how wonderful you are, then you will be easily able to overcome challenges. Leave people who are no longer serving you and align yourself with people who have high spiritual ideals. This month you will need to come out of your box and consider new and creative modes of accomplishing your goals. But you will be looking at the future with hope and optimism so that hope will make you do hard work. You might also question your plans but you will also come to the conclusion that your plan is not wrong but something else is.
NOVEMBER: expect to receive some good news. And you will also be able to be successful in your work. It doesn't matter if you are working or school but this month is great for you. If you are required to make some career decisions, then follow your passion. BE THE BEST AT WHAT YOU DO. you will also be able to stop procrastinating and put efforts in your work. If you have to make decisions, then do not overanalyze it as you will be more confused by this. Reach out to others when you are required to do. Take advice from people. Some of you will feel like they are leaving some things behind so know that you are on the right path.
DECEMBER: I see that you are still carrying things which you should have completed in November itself. But listen to your brain when you have to find some solution to anything. There can also be some unexpected change like you have to move to another state or something but it will be sudden only. You will also be ignoring the information which is presented right in front of you because it will not be exactly what you want to hear. Don't be deterred by challenges. Know that a challenge is something which makes the things worth doing. You will also be able to manifest something and make good progress in some endeavours
This was your reading pile 2. I hope it resonated.
PILE - 3
Hii, welcome to your pile. I hope 2023 has been treating you well. Here is your reading:
SEPTEMBER: you are going to take control of your life. Some of you are going back to school or even deciding to. You are trying to show more gratitude or forgiveness to other people. It's like trying out a new thing where you basically change your life maybe by doing different manifestation challenges or something. You might also do some more self- care like doing skincare, working out, eating healthy etc. This month is going to be great for you as you will be able to come in contact with your inner child.
OCTOBER: you are moving into a new direction. Maybe you are planning to start something new or following something which you always wanted to do. October is going to be great for you to take action as this month is about moving forward. But you could also question yourself, if you should move forward with this. You are planning things for a bright future and hence comparing traditional vs modern methods. You will also receive some good news. If you are doing something creative for free, then expect to earn something from them. This month will bring you lots of happiness but it will also require you to work very hard.
NOVEMBER: the good news which I mentioned above, looks like you are going to have a celebration in November because of it. You also are going to be cutting off toxic people or those people who are no longer matching your energy. This will make you feel alone and constantly overthinking about it. You could also be starting to question your decision, if that's the right thing to do. You might focus on worst-case scenarios. You are also becoming a lot focused on your career or education this month. It looks like you are taking back the control which you needed. You are also recognising all the blessings and being grateful for them. For some people, some person in your family might get married.
DECEMBER: you are going to be in touch with your spiritual side much more. Like you could start meditating for balancing different chakras especially the third eye. You are going to listen to your intuition or even feel more confident in that side. You are also going to give yourself proper rest like hibernating. Some self-reflection will really help you so much this month. You will also be hanging out with your small group of friends or the people you trust most. In October, i said about overthinking. Looks like you are going to let go of all the fear and worry this month.
This was your reading pile 3. I hope it resonated.

This is an out there question but out of the cast of twst which characters can you picture becoming serial murderers? If so, what type (i.e lust killer, power/control etc…) and how would the murders be (planned, clinical, ritualistic, etc.)
Sorry for the screwed up question and feel free to not answer if it makes you uncomfortable. I just have an interest in criminology so I’m weird that way :/
Anon! It took so long for me to finally write this post, but I’ve been excited about your prompt ever since you sent it lol Screwed up questions are always a joy to come up with answers to with this cast, so I hope I managed to write something that was worth waiting for.
I’ll also note that we do have a hc list about twst boys murdering for the first time, and while I won’t reference this post here too much, some of the ideas for this post feel like a continuation/result of the unfortunate circumstances some of the characters found themselves in that first post. I also feel like some of these boys don’t fit the role very much, but I’ll mention it when I write about them!
That being said, let’s profile these assholes~
Riddle – pretty easy one: he’d be someone who sentences people to death for disobeying the law, so technically his Unique Magic thing but more aggressive. There are actually a bunch of options for him; it could literally be him abusing Off With Your Head, or he could end up being a judge or a prosecutor who has a reputation of sentencing people to death a lot… Of course, he would feel like it’s justified, and sometimes it would really be justified by an actual law, but I would still technically call him a serial murderer for that lol But if he isn’t in any way related to law or authority and ends up being a doctor, he could still abuse his power there and kill off those who he considers to be criminals. To be completely honest though, I don’t think Riddle is super likely to end up like this, but if he does it once, he might struggle with guilt and double down on this kind of just punishment super hard.
Ace – I don’t think he would do end up being a serial killer unless his circumstances force him to. I see him as someone who could get in huge trouble when he gets older, like shady stuff with creditors for example, but he still wouldn’t want to take someone else’s life. Still, if it’s either you or the guy who came to steal your kidneys to sell them, you’ll end up cutting the guy’s throat with a knife given a chance, and then escape. What would make Ace a serial murderer is that he would have to kill off a bunch of guys to be completely “free”. So I guess he’s fighting for his own freedom by actually reaping the fruits of his own mistakes.
Deuce – he would either kill someone on accident and then either run forever or turn himself to the police (hence not becoming a serial killer) or actually in a weird twist of fate become someone who is a vigilante of sorts. Deuce might actually end up thinking that this is his only way to pay for his missteps as a young delinquent. Of course, Deuce doesn’t really want to kill, and at first he would spare everyone, believing that they would learn their lesson, but after that time he’ll think that he has no other choice. He could do it with delinquent gangs, or, if he works for the police, he’d do it with actual criminals. But he would still have some principles – he would only kill those who ended someone else’s life, or at least did something very horrible.
Trey – there he is, our first “killing to protect someone” guy! The worst version of Trey would probably go very far trying to protect Riddle from those who try to overthrow him, or even give him any kind of critique. He knows that this is wrong, but this is the choice he made: the first murder would be very justified in his head, very forced and necessary, but after that point he’d just go further and further down the rabbit hole. He would be very careful about it though, and no one would suspect him for a very long time. He wouldn’t poison anyone with food, that’s too obvious, but he would definitely use his scientific knowledge.
Cater – there was one guy who moved a lot and changed a lot of schools and was unhappy with his family life that ended up trying to blow up a school to feel anything because we live in a society (yes JD from Heathers), so my go-to is to think that there is this worm in Cater’s head that sometimes tells him to do something horrible, but this doesn’t necessarily mean that he would blow up NRC lol You know, maybe it’s more of an American Psycho situation. No one would ever think that I am the one doing it even though I am not even hiding it very well, so I continue doing it. Or something? To be honest, I’m 50/50 on that one.
Leona – he doesn’t have any big ideas and he definitely isn’t forced to do it, and knowing Leona’s luck, he probably wouldn’t be able to pull off an American Psycho situation either. Even if Falena covers up his crimes, it wouldn’t really help Leona gain anything, so it doesn’t make much sense… I think if Leona starts killing people off left and right, he would mostly do it out of boredom and frustration.
Ruggie – he would work as someone who cares for elderly, but only the rich ones, and then would poison them little by little over a long period of time by adjusting their dosage of medicine. He would pick grandpas and grandmas who have turbulent relationship with their kids, and then somehow frame the kids for the death, getting a bunch of money from the deal. This is just one thing Ruggie could do for money though; of course he prefers to work within the system and work hard And smart, but he is also perfectly aware that the system is rotten and someone is going to take advantage of that. And that someone might as well be him~
Jack – another vigilante, but if Deuce hunts down criminals, Jack would hunt down those who work within the system and are the reason it’s rotting. So corrupt policemen, rich assholes, even very powerful people: those who are making things worse for others in Jack’s own mind (he has his own idea of justice…) are his targets. He also really wants to be calm, clean and collected about it, but I also see him as someone whose emotions would take over, and he wouldn’t stop even after the guy is already dead.
Azul – either power or pettiness, or ideally both – Azul loves to multitask, after all. Killing some guy that disrespected him and getting his business and wealth as a bonus? Perfect scenario for Azul. He wouldn’t mind trample on others for his own gain, and his tactics are pretty predatory, so at some point it might start involving ending someone else’s life, but one thing to note is that Azul rarely does anything by himself. He is very creative with the ways he wants his enemies to go (the tweels love his sick ideas), but he would rather order others to kill than dirty his own hands.
Jade and Floyd – a rare occasion when I write about them together, but they are almost the same when it comes to this topic: they mostly do it for funsies. That includes coming up with new ways to end someone else’s life (this is why Azul’s ideas are the best), playing with new toys (Jade has a big collection of weaponry, Floyd loves using whatever lies around), or even just killing time. But these days they try to pace themselves because otherwise this whole thing becomes terribly dull and boring, so their go-to is to either wait for a very good occasion, or for Azul to give them a new mission.
Kalim – wait a minute, this guy isn’t a serial killer, he’s a cereal killer! 🥰 Sorry, I had to make this joke once. In all seriousness, I don’t see Kalim becoming a serial killer, buuut if we’re bending canon to force a sunshine boy to do horrible stuff, he would either do it in a situation similar to Ace’s (got kidnapped, was forced to shoot everyone), and absolutely hate it because he really wants bad people to become better and is very forgiving… or he would get so deeply disappointed in bad people not becoming better that his brain would completely melt and he would start going “… it can’t be helped, can it?”. But once again, one really has to bend canon and put Kalim through a lot for this to happen.
Jamil – a vigilante whose only mission is to protect himself lol I can see a scenario in which Jamil starts killing off influential people out of spite. He could never kill Kalim or anyone from the Asim family, but he has no relation to other families or wealthy colleagues of Kalim’s father, and he hates their greedy grease faces so much that killing them is actually a huge stress relief. But also, his killing off Kalim’s potential assassins and other mercenaries who try to attack him would also count as serial murdering…
Vil – I think he would start out as an impulsive killer who let his emotion and stress take over. And it doesn’t even have to be with Neige, he might “accidentally” (i.e. he didn’t think the punch was that hard) kill off someone rando who was harassing him, and then after that point he’ll start doing it from time to time. Of course, he would suffer from guilt, but overtime he’ll try to dull this emotion with more killings. He believes that he only kills those who are doing bad things with young actors in the industry, but he did kill a couple of nasty and obnoxious guys who were pretty much his stalkers. The difference is just that he poisons the first ones and tries to make it as clean as possible, and he gets very emotional with the second ones.
Rook – this guy is all over the place, and yet in his head he has this whole thing figured out. He honours people that he kills, he takes the flower from a young and blooming tree to make sure that its beauty lives forever between the pages of his diary… Rook Hunt has a lot of weird ideas, and I can see him as all kinds of serial killer: he could create installations with people’s dead bodies, he could consume people for food and use their hair and skin for craft, he could literally put a body in a glass case and freeze it or taxidermy it, he could punish those who, unfortunately, only steal from other’s beauty and thus aren’t beautiful at all… I guess Rook Hunt is an amalgamation of every criminal from Hannibal TV series lol
Epel – pretty similar to Ace, I think. He definitely needs to be put in a horrible situation in which he doesn’t have much of a choice but to kill. But also I think after some point he would start feeling so helpless and weak that he would become more aggressive, and maybe even start taking it out on people who are completely unrelated to his troubles, just to make himself feel at least a little bit powerful. He is pretty good at cutting and is pretty fast, also good at hiding, but he is also sloppy, so he’ll get caught pretty soon. The world will be charmed by the image of a pretty boy doing horrible things… and then they’ll give him a stupid nickname and he’ll get mad lol This is your true punishment, Epel.
Idia – I don’t think he would be capable of becoming a serial murderer, not only because of his psyche, but also because of the logistics – it’s easy to do a lot of things to ruin someone else’s life while sitting in front of your pc in your dusty dark room, but it’s not easy to murder someone like that. I mean, he could hire an assassin on darkweb… or maybe he could create a virus that explodes phones and computers. Never mind, where there is a will, there is a way lol But in terms of will, I think Idia would only do something like that if he feels like he has no other choice, i.e. if he (or Ortho) is getting severely bullied. He does joke about killing off everyone who mischaracterises his favourite anime girl though lol
Ortho – a little yandere. We’ve seen him being willing to murder a bunch of people for Idia’s sake multiple times now, and it was just him being silly lol While he learns more empathy and starts to value others more overtime, his number one priority is still Idia, and he would easily be willing to anything to protect him… or simply out of jealousy!
Lilia – he already had his share of serial murders, our local mister war criminal lol And given how much time he had to reflex on his past and on the life and death in general, I don’t think he would go for it right now. But he isn’t a saint and it’s not like he would avoid murder at all cost, so I can see him easily killing off a bunch of people while trying to protect Malleus or Silver or, in case of Malleus, to take revenge for dishonouring or even just disrespecting him.
Silver – he wouldn’t! He is a good boy that values life too much. I think he is one person in NRC who is aware of his ability to kill (he has to protect Malleus, after all), but would do anything to avoid it at all cost.
Sebek – while generally he isn’t super bloodthirsty (surprisingly), he would get bloodthirsty real quick if Malleus himself or his honour is in danger, or if Sebek feels like it is. Yeah, pretty similar to Lilia, but Sebek is much more hot-headed, much less mature and much messier in general. It’s possible for Sebek to become a version of himself that kills people off for Malleus’ sake even without Malleus asking him to. Malleus could not even be aware of that person existence, and Sebek would think that he has this duty to “clean”. He is a fanatic, and while he is super loyal and obedient, he is also very entitled and acts according to ideas in his head (including fae superiority). Similarly to Riddle though, he would partially do it to dull the feeling of “oh no I did something horrible”, but a lot of it would genuinely be his desire to serve Malleus in the best way possible and to eliminate everyone who doesn’t share his adoration of him.
Malleus – pettiness. I don’t think Malleus would do something like that out of any major reason or great idea, the only thing that someone powerful like him really needs is pettiness. He also isn’t just some guy that hangs out in his basement sharpening knives; the scale of his actions would be massive. The worst version of Malleus murders people for fun, out of spite, to command others’ attention, completely on a whim, fully embracing his god complex and somehow being a spoiled brat at the same time. He might come up with some Great Idea of course, he might even start thinking about fae being superior do other beings, but all of that would just be pretty words to cover the fact that he is very petty and deeply unhappy. This Malleus combined with previously described Sebek would be a very dangerous combo…

Chris Evans & Alba Baptista Love Reading 💕 Lovey-Dovey relationship?🤔 June 2nd, 2023
Note: I made this reading only for entertainment purposes. This reading shows just a current energy. My interpretation of cards may vary from other readers. Feel free to share your vision. Please pay attention to images of cards, some of them are quite intriguing👀
Chris’ side
His thoughts about Alba: 6 of Pentacles represents generosity, fairness and giving/receiving help. What you give - you receive. He may see her as someone who is generous, kind and willing to lend a helping hand. He may appreciate her willingness for sharing resources, time or support with others.
5 of Wands signifies conflict, competition and challenges. He perceives some level of competition or conflict in this relationship. She may have a tendency to overreact and make things out to be a lot worse than what it is. Such a conflicting drama queen. She may be a lost soul without any meaning in life. Moreover, Alba may have low self-esteem and that's why she can seek validity from others.
5 of Cups represents loss, disappointment and emotional healing. He thinks that Alba is emotional, sometimes even pessimistic. In some cases it's hard to please her. It seems that she doesn't truly love herself. She may have a tendency to play a victim and blame others. Chris may see her as someone who has experienced significant setbacks or losses in the past. Ace of Wands indicates new beginnings, passion and inspiration. This card from Nicoletta Ceccoli deck, these cards are more like oracle ones. So, Alba is young, passionate and half naked in Chris' eyes.🔥
His feelings towards Alba: 9 of Swords represents anxiety, worry and inner turmoil. This relationships took away Chris' peace of mind. He worries a lot about it. Also it can indicate that his trust has been shaken and now he questions all her actions. Lots of overthinking. It feels like a trap for him.
7 of Wands represents defensiveness, standing your ground and asserting oneself. This relationship is threatened by public eye, outside circumstances or even a new person. He needs to be guarded all the time. He basically can't relax. Sometimes he feels being misunderstood (duh, a huge age gap and different cultural background). Additionally, it seems that he is afraid to get hurt and is putting up walls around himself. He needs healthy boundaries.
6 of Swords signifies transition, moving on and finding peace. Chris may have a desire for a sense of peace or resolution in a relationship. He may be seeking a shift from any conflicts or challenges towards a calmer and more harmonious state. The question is Chris wants new beginning with or without Alba? The Hanged Man represents surrender, suspension and a shift in perspective. This card from Nicoletta Ceccoli deck, these cards are more like oracle ones. So, he may literally feel that Alba is a two faced lady. There is no dynamic in such relationships. But, they are tied together by some common issues and responsibilities that feel like a burden.
Alba's side
Her thoughts about Chris: The Star is a card of hope, inspiration and optimism. Duh, Chris is a shinny star in her eyes. I don't know if she was a huge fan of Captain America or not, but it looks like that. There is a significant sign of admiration. She thinks that he is so intellectual, artistic, philosophical and idealistic by nature. He radiates inspiration. Maybe, she has a huge hopes about him. 7 of Pentacles represents patience, perseverance and reaping the rewards of hard work. She sees him as someone who is diligent and hardworking. She likes his efforts and the dedication you put into his pursuits. He is patient and has the ability to wait for the fruits of his labor to manifest. He is focused on long-term goals.
King of Pentacles embodies stability, abundance and practicality. Alba sees him as someone who is reliable, powerful and wealthy (duh🤑). Such a perfect husband material. He is down to Earth, calm and has practical approach to life. He has great observational skills and leadership abilities. Also he loves nature and animal. Moreover, she sees him as a person who possesses a strong sense of authority. 3 of Pentacles represents collaboration, teamwork and craftsmanship. This card from Nicoletta Ceccoli deck, these cards are more like oracle ones. Alba may think that Chris is a part of questionable company/group of people (she even may be a part of it too). Seduction, secrets and sweet lies. 🤫
Her feeling towards him: 8 of Wands represents swift action, progress and movement. She may feel a sense of excitement and enthusiasm. A girl has massive crush on him. Strong attraction and passion towards Chis, viewing him as someone who ignites a sense of forward momentum and energy in her life. Lots of texting.
9 of Pentacles symbolizes independence, self-sufficiency and enjoying the fruits of one's labor. This relationship that is privileged. She may feel a sense of admiration and appreciation. Alba enjoys his company, but I don't think that they live together. She loves that he is accomplished, successful and self-assured.
2 of Swords represents a state of indecision, inner conflict and needing to make a choice. There may be some uncertainty or conflicting emotions present. Now it's getting jucier. Look at the image of this card below. We can witness a throwing knife target scene 🎯 A blindfolded woman doesn't do it all alone. There are her familiars aka minions/friends, who observe the situation well. It gives a vibe that Chris was somehow targeted by Alba (maybe, even her team/friends) or there are people who helped her to meet him. She might use different sources or get some advises from others on how to build relationships with Chris.👀
The Fool is a card of new beginnings, spontaneity, and stepping into the unknown. This card from Nicoletta Ceccoli deck, these cards are more like oracle ones. There is a major miscommunication, Chris and Alba listen to each other, but don't hear. Complete immaturity. 🥁
Their relationships in general
In short - meh. 4 of Cups represents contemplation, introspection and a sense of dissatisfaction. There may be moments of emotional disconnect or a sense of longing for something more or someone new. Bored as hell. A feeling of being unfulfilled or uninterested with each other. Someone of them may not fully appreciate a partner.
The High Priestess represents intuition, mystery and deep inner wisdom. There are so many secrets in this relationship. Lots of information is hidden from public eye. They may have spiritual or intuitive connection between them tho. Look. Someone of them (especially Alba) may use services of witches, tarot readers to improve this relationships, give what another partner needs. Also she or he may read all these readings about them online. So, hey, Chris. Hi, Alba. How are you doing?
8 of Cups represents the act of walking away, moving on and seeking emotional fulfillment elsewhere. There may be periods where Chris or Alba feels a need to step back and reassess the relationship's direction or its own emotional well-being. A period of emotional distance or a desire for personal growth and exploration. The obvious differences between the two of them are becoming increasing difficult to overcome. In the best case scenario, they will go on a spiritual journey together
King of Swords embodies intellect, clarity and rationality. A suite of swords isn't about romance, it's all about cold calculations and dry logic. I assume that Chris is very independent guy and that's why he chose a girlfriend from another country, he needs to have a personal space and no control. I doubt that Alba matches Chris intellectually. They may talk a lot, but what about emotional fulfillment? It's important to balance the intellect with emotional understanding.
5 of Pentacles represents hardship, financial struggle and a sense of exclusion. Again there is a feeling of being abandoned, unloved, unappreciated or ignored by a partner. A complete coldness. Moreover, there may be challenges or difficulties they face together, potentially related to material aspects of their lives.
Final thoughts from a tarot reader: Honestly, I don't know what they are doing with each other. I can get Alba, Chris is like a golden trophy. But, basically, it's just a waste of time. They may have this feeling (even without realization) that all world is against them, that's why they need to get even closer to fight vicious enemies. Simple Romeo and Juliet effect. They need to work on their personal grows, self esteem etc for sure. If you have some insights and wanna share your thoughts all about it, feel free to do it.

Tonight is the Full Corn Moon named because this is a time of the corn harvests. The August Full Moon is also known as the Sturgeon Moon because this was the time when wild sturgeon and Salmon would be abundant in rivers and streams. At this time our emotions will be heightened, our senses will be sharp, things that were hidden or in the shadows can now be seen.
This is the first of 2 Full Moons this month, the second Full Moon will be at the end of August making it a Blue Moon.
If you have been feeling stuck in a situation or that everything has been standing still lately, get ready because this Full Moon will be bringing with it a wind of change. The whole of earth is going through a massive transition at the minute, Summer is fading and Autumn is coming in, leaves are starting to change colour on the trees, plants and flowers are dying and seeding the earth for next Spring. But at the same time crops in fields are flourishing with the harvest, fruit is now at it's most ripest. We will feel this energy of transformation, we should use it to help transform and shape ourselves into what we want to be.
The Full Moon is in the sign of Aquarius. The time is potent to follow our hearts and to create new pathways. We have shed our skin, now is the time to emerge and start turning the visions we have of ourselves into something real. There will be some deep emotional changes happening now, don't fight them, let them come to the surface we must move with the changes, allow what wants to come forth, and trust our inner knowing and guidance.
Your enthusiasm, idealism and creativity will be at an all time high. You will be bursting with new ideas and energy. You could have sudden insights into the future and where it is you are going. Dreams will be wild and vivid and could even be prophetic. You can move from a breakdown to a breakthrough now. You are experiencing a transformation in consciousness, big changes are coming.
Sometimes your growth can feel weird and strange when you are no longer connecting to your past. But truly, the old way of living no longer works for you. You are experiencing new aspects of yourself and life. You are giving birth to the new you, and giving birth is painful. This is real work. This is real growth. There is so much to celebrate right now. Realise that to live out new, promising visions there's a need to restructure and grow. A new vision of the future will be illuminated, it is up to you what you do with it.
Most of all tonight's Full Moon will be about healing. Let the Air element of Aquarius blow away negative thoughts and feelings and take you on a journey of discovery. Let go of the past and welcome in the future. This is the harvest and it is time to start reaping what we have sown, your hard work will start paying off. Take the gifts life offers you and make the most of them.
Have a Blessed Full Moon, May the Goddess watch over you.

Shawn Mendes:
This is the request for this reading.
Angel of pleasure:
Shawn is a person who takes pleasure in the things he does. He loves his work, his music is his passion. It’s not about hard work, achievement or performance. What is important for him is to make the most of every moment of his life. He accomplishes more when he is surrounded by less stress and effort.
Shower of abundance: Abundance can take many forms, including having more time, opportunities or clear ideas. Time to think, reflect, be healthy and mindful.
Drop it: the ego lives in the past and loves to rehash it’s suffering over and over again. Something is distracting him from the joy of the moment. Where is his attention at? Is he focusing on the past or the present? That’s the question. Bottomline, it is time for him to let go. Drop it.
Be patient: sometimes our mental state works at a slower pace, and we need to be patient. As long as it is in the process of coming into realization, we also simply needs to be patient. And give it time.
Integregrity: he is slowly demonstrating truth and honesty of his soul. He admits he has a mental health issue and needs time.
Release: he is in the process of giving and releasing the unwanted energies to the loving forces of the Universe.
Attraction: there was a lot of attraction between him and Camille. And they enjoyed being together. It was hard to recieve so much attention for being in a genuine relationship. It got to them both. Both the good and the bad attention were too much.
Let go of control issues: he had to let go. It was hard to keep controlling the situations in his life. His privacy was invaded. His work was affected and his mental health took a toll.
The world: when he first started he had the world. World at your feet” is not just an idiom when it comes to the World Tarot card. There were fulfilllment and harmony. To encounter the upright World card in a tarot reading is to encounter success and accomplishment. Despite the difficulties and hardships he’s encountered, he stood strong and persevered. The seeds he had planted were blooming and he could reap the fruit of his labor. Everything had come together, and he was in the right place, doing the right thing, and achieving what he had envisioned.
Three of pentacles reversed: slowly we saw a change. The success was too much. A young man retreated. When reversed, the Three of Pentacles represents the undesirable effects of lack of focus and collaboration. For the most part, people consider the words that represent this reversal to be unfavorable. After all, phrases like lack of collaboration, no motivation, poor quality workmanship, few goals, not learning from mistakes, and little growth aren’t exactly positive. But we shouldn’t think of the Three of Pentacles’ message as a character attack. Instead, consider it a reminder, a wake-up call, to figure out what might be holding us back. And that was what Shawn got. A wake up call. It was time to take care of him and his mental health first.
Knight of cups: follows his heart. Knights are also action-takers, so this card could be telling you that now is the time to take action.
So where is Shawn today? How is he doing?
Temperance: Balance, peace, patience, moderation, calm, tranquillity, harmony, serenity. He has been working on himself. Little things doesn’t bother him no more, because he appears to have an endless supply of patience.
9 of pentacles: It signifies enjoying the fruits of one’s labor and independence in different aspects of life. This tells us he is in a much better place. According to research, self-reward can not only bring you joy, but is also good for your mental health. So he is doing the right thing, taking care of himself first.
How does the future look for him?
The 2 of swords reversed: It predicts that he will see the truth of a matter after a period of confusion and indecision. This card appears in a reading to reassure you that the end is near. You will be able to see and finally move on to a healthier place in the future.
3 of wands reversed: Reversing the Three of Swords signifies overcoming anguish, pain, sorrow, and melancholy in a general sense. Reversed, it is a Minor Arcana card of optimism, getting through loss or depression, and letting go of the pain. So this tells us that he is getting better and better everyday, and working on himself to be in a much better headspace.
Will he soon be working on more music?
5 of cups: The Five of Cups is the card of grief, loss, sadness, and disappointment. This card shows a man crying over three knocked down cups. He is so absorbed in his loss that he doesn’t see that he has two upright cups behind him. He is missing the opportunities that are still available to him.
It is a no for the immediate moment. As he still needs to concentrate on self work.
9 of wands: if you have pulled the nine of wands upright, the answer is yes to all your wishes. But in the future when things settles down even more for him, he’ll definetely be back and does what he love.
I hope you enjoy this reading. And please keep in mind that this is done for entertainment purposes only. I use tarotcards and oracle cards actively in my readings, as well as my intuition. Energies come and go, what is relevant for today’s reading might change in a few weeks time. But some aspects will always remain constant and the same. Thank you.❤️

How to Save for a House: Tips for First-Time Homebuyers
How to Save for a House: Tips for First-Time Homebuyers
Saving up for a house might seem like a big task, but it's one of the most important things you can do, especially if you're buying your first home. Picture this: you walk through the door of your very own place, knowing that every step you took to get there was worth it. That feeling of pride and security—it's what homeownership is all about.
Let's break it down a bit. Imagine you're chatting with a friend over coffee, and you mention your dream of owning a home. They might nod in agreement, sharing their own aspirations. Maybe they've heard that buying a house is a smart financial move, a way to build something that's truly yours. Or perhaps they've seen how having a home creates stability, a safe haven in a sometimes uncertain world.
Now, let's throw in some numbers. Did you know that, on average, homeowners have a higher net worth than renters? It's true! Owning a home is like planting seeds for your financial future. Every mortgage payment you make is like tending to that garden, watching it grow over time. And when you finally pay off that mortgage? It's like harvesting the fruits of your labor, reaping the rewards of your hard work and dedication.
But it's not just about the money. Think about the memories you'll make in your own home—family dinners around the kitchen table, lazy Sunday mornings in bed, backyard barbecues with friends. These are the moments that turn a house into a home, the moments that make all those late nights and early mornings worth it.
So, why save up for a house? Because it's more than just a roof over your head. It's a symbol of everything you've worked for, everything you've dreamed of. It's a place to call your own, a place to build a life, a place to call home. And trust me, when you finally get those keys in your hand, it'll be a feeling like no other.
Setting a Savings Goal:
So you've decided you want to buy a house. That's awesome! Now, let's talk about setting a savings goal to make that dream a reality. But hold on, don't let the idea of saving a big pile of money overwhelm you. We're going to break it down into smaller, more manageable pieces.
First things first, figure out how much money you need to save. This includes not just the down payment for the house, but also things like closing costs, moving expenses, and maybe even a little extra for unexpected surprises. Once you've got that total number in mind, it's time to divide and conquer.
Instead of trying to save up that entire amount all at once, break it down into smaller milestones. Think of it like climbing a big mountain—you wouldn't try to reach the peak in one giant leap, right? You'd take it one step at a time, celebrating each little victory along the way.
For example, let's say your total savings goal is $50,000. Instead of staring at that big number and feeling overwhelmed, break it down into smaller chunks. Maybe your first milestone is saving $5,000 for the down payment. Once you hit that goal, give yourself a high-five and set your sights on the next milestone.
But here's the thing: life doesn't always go according to plan. Maybe you hit a rough patch and have to dip into your savings, or maybe you get a promotion and can save more than you expected. That's where flexibility comes in.
It's important to be able to adjust your savings goal as your circumstances change. Maybe you need to lower your monthly savings target for a while, or maybe you can afford to bump it up. The key is to stay adaptable and keep your eyes on the prize.
So, when it comes to setting a savings goal for buying a house, remember: break it down into manageable milestones, and stay flexible along the way. Before you know it, you'll be unlocking the door to your very own home sweet home.
Making a Budget and Trimming Expenses:
First off, let's think about all the little things we spend money on without even realizing it. You know, like grabbing a coffee on the way to work or ordering takeout instead of cooking at home. These are what we call non-essential expenses, and they can really add up over time.
So, one way to save more money is to take a closer look at these non-essential expenses and see where we can cut back. For example, instead of eating out at restaurants all the time, maybe we could try cooking at home more often. Not only is it cheaper, but it can also be a fun way to bond with family or friends.
Another idea is to think about transportation. Do you really need to drive everywhere, or could you save money by taking public transportation or carpooling with coworkers? It's worth considering, especially when you think about how much you spend on gas, parking, and car maintenance.
Now, let's talk about tracking expenses. I know, it sounds like a hassle, but trust me, it's worth it. When you keep track of where your money is going, you start to notice patterns and habits you might not have realized before. Maybe you're spending more on eating out than you thought, or maybe you're splurging on stuff you don't really need.
But here's the cool part: once you start tracking your expenses, you become more aware of your spending habits, and that awareness can be really motivating. It's like shining a light on your finances and saying, "Hey, I can do better than this!" Plus, when you see those little victories—like spending less on groceries or resisting the urge to buy that fancy new gadget—it feels pretty darn good. By cutting back on those non-essential expenses and keeping track of where your money is going, you'll be one step closer to reaching your goal of owning your own home.
Developing a Saving Strategy:
Alright, let's talk about how to save up for your dream home with a solid plan. It's all about being smart with your money and setting yourself up for success.
First off, there's this cool concept called "paying yourself first." Basically, it means that before you spend money on anything else, you set aside a portion of your income for savings. Think of it like giving yourself a little present every time you get paid. It might sound selfish, but trust me, it's the key to reaching your savings goals.
So, how does this apply to saving for a house? Easy. When you get your paycheck, the first thing you do is put some money into your house savings fund. It's like putting money in a piggy bank, except this piggy bank is going to help you buy your dream home.
Now, let's talk about maximizing your savings. One way to do this is by setting up automatic transfers to a high-yield savings account. This is basically a fancy way of saying a savings account that earns you more interest than a regular one. By automating your savings, you're making sure that money gets put away before you even have a chance to spend it.
Another strategy is to use any extra cash you come into, like tax refunds or bonuses, for your house savings. Instead of blowing it on something fun, why not put it towards your future home? It might not be as exciting in the moment, but trust me, it'll pay off big time down the road.
So, to sum it up, developing a saving strategy for buying a house is all about being proactive and disciplined with your money. By paying yourself first and using strategies like automatic transfers and cash windfalls, you'll be well on your way to making your dream home a reality.
Avoiding New Debt:
Let's chat about why it's important to steer clear of taking on new debt when you're saving up for a house. But first, let's clear up the difference between good debt and bad debt.
Good debt is stuff like a mortgage, which is a loan you take out to buy a house. It's considered good because it's an investment in something that can increase in value over time. Plus, mortgage interest rates are usually pretty low, so it's not too expensive to borrow money for a house.
Now, bad debt is stuff like high-interest credit card debt. This is money you borrow to buy stuff you don't really need, and it usually comes with super high interest rates. That means you end up paying way more than the original cost of whatever you bought, and it can really add up fast.
So, when you're saving up for a house, it's super important to avoid taking on any new debt, especially the bad kind. Instead of using credit cards to buy stuff you can't afford, focus on saving up for your future home. Trust me, it'll be worth it in the long run.
But what if you already have debt? Don't worry, you're not alone. Lots of people have debt, and there are ways to manage it while still saving for a house.
One option is debt consolidation, which is basically combining all your debts into one big loan with a lower interest rate. This can make it easier to keep track of your payments and save you money on interest in the long run.
Another option is refinancing, which is when you replace your current loan with a new one that has better terms. This can be especially helpful if you have high-interest debt, like credit card debt, that you want to pay off faster.
Taking Advantage of Down Payment Assistance Programs:
Okay, let's talk about getting some extra help for your down payment when you're buying a house. There are actually programs out there that can give you money or loans to make it easier to buy your dream home. It's definitely worth checking them out.
First off, where can you find information about these programs? A good place to start is the website for your state or local government. They usually have a section all about housing assistance programs, where you can find out what's available in your area.
You can also talk to a housing counselor. These are people who know all about buying a home and can help you figure out what assistance programs you might qualify for. You can usually find housing counselors through non-profit organizations or government agencies.
Now, let's talk about some common worries people have about these programs. One big concern is whether you'll be eligible for help. The good news is that there are programs for all sorts of people, including first-time homebuyers, low-income families, and even veterans. So, don't count yourself out before you've even looked into it!
Another worry is the application process. Some people think it'll be really complicated or take forever to get approved. While there might be some paperwork involved, it's usually not as bad as you might think. Plus, housing counselors can help guide you through the process and make sure everything goes smoothly.
So, in a nutshell, down payment assistance programs can be a great way to get some extra support when you're buying a house. By checking out resources online or talking to a housing counselor, you can find out what help is available and take steps toward owning your own home. Don't let worries or doubts hold you back—there's help out there if you know where to look!
Maintaining Good Credit:
Let's chat about how to keep your credit in good shape, which is super important when you're looking to buy a house. But don't worry, it's not as complicated as it might seem.
First off, let's talk about some easy ways to improve your credit score. One thing you can do is check your credit report for any mistakes. Sometimes, there might be errors that are dragging your score down, so it's important to catch them and get them fixed.
Another tip is to become an authorized user on a family member's credit card. This means you'll have access to their credit account, and their good credit habits can help boost your score. Just make sure the primary cardholder is responsible with their credit, or it could actually hurt your score instead.
Now, let's talk about why maintaining good credit is so important beyond just buying a house. One big reason is that it can help you get better deals on other stuff, like car loans or credit cards. When you have good credit, lenders see you as less of a risk, so they're more likely to offer you lower interest rates and better terms.
Another benefit is that good credit can save you money on things like insurance premiums. That's right—having good credit can actually help you pay less for stuff like car insurance and homeowners insurance. It might not seem like a big deal, but those savings can really add up over time.
So, to sum it up, maintaining good credit is key when you're looking to buy a house. By checking your credit report for errors and taking advantage of strategies like becoming an authorized user, you can improve your score and set yourself up for financial success. And remember, good credit isn't just about getting a mortgage—it can help you save money in all sorts of ways.
Be Patient and Persistent:
When it comes to saving for a home, patience and persistence are your best friends. It's not always easy, but with the right mindset and some strategies to keep you motivated, you can make your dream of homeownership a reality.
Let's start by sharing some stories of real people who faced challenges but didn't give up on their goal of buying a home. Take Sarah, for example. She worked two jobs and sacrificed nights out with friends to save up for a down payment. It took her longer than she expected, but she never lost sight of her dream. Finally, after years of hard work and determination, she was able to buy her first home and create a place of her own to call home.
Then there's Mark, who faced setbacks like unexpected medical bills and car repairs while saving for a down payment. Instead of getting discouraged, he adjusted his budget and found creative ways to increase his savings, like selling stuff he no longer needed and picking up extra freelance work. Despite the challenges, Mark stayed focused on his goal and eventually achieved his dream of homeownership.
These stories remind us that saving for a home is a journey, not a sprint. It takes time, effort, and sometimes a little bit of luck, but it's absolutely possible if you're willing to put in the work.
Now, let's talk about some strategies for staying motivated during the saving process. One powerful technique is to visualize your future home. Close your eyes and imagine walking through the front door, decorating the living room, and hosting gatherings with friends and family. Keep that image in your mind whenever you feel tempted to splurge on something frivolous, and let it remind you of why you're saving in the first place.
Another strategy is to create a vision board. Grab some magazines, scissors, and a cork board, and start cutting out pictures of homes, furniture, and décor that inspire you. Arrange them on the board in a way that feels meaningful to you, and hang it somewhere you'll see it every day. Having a visual representation of your goal can help keep you motivated and focused on what you're working towards.
Draw inspiration from real-life success stories, and use strategies like visualization and vision boards to stay motivated along the way. Remember, the road to buying a home may have its twists and turns, but with determination and perseverance, you can make your dream a reality.

Weight loss is a ballgame of 80% diet and 20% exercise. As the famous proverb says, “abs are made in the kitchen”. But this does not always have to be a punishment. Sticking to the same diet plan seems to be severe, boring and upsetting. But there is a lot of food to help you lose extra pounds.Quick to loose, early to gain: In order to not fall in the trap of dieting and binge-eating, it is important to remember that slow, consistent efforts reap long-term results. Crash dieting or drastically cutting down calories initially will cause that number on the weighing scale to plummet down, but then excess calorie deficit kicks in the defense mechanism of the body to load up those energy reserves and conserve fat.Remember, weight is only one of the criteria for fitness: While healthy weight and Body_mass_index
are desirable in the normal range, remember that athletes and most body- builders would be in the ‘over-weight’ category if measured by the conventional scales.
Overall fitness has little to do with weight: Aim to get fit, and those pounds will melt. After all, what good would cutting down food do, if you are miserable and hungry all the time? Set out for your goal with a positive mind and determination, half of your work is already done.
Shift your focus from weight-loss to getting fit: That will instantly boost your mood, up your energy and put you in a better frame of mind as it sounds like something you can achieve.
So, coming to the question of: What to eat?
Stick to whole, unprocessed, Raw foods including fresh, seasonal fruits, vegetables and salads. Salads sometime before meals really help limiting your food intake and provide you with all the essential vitamins and minerals.
Say no to artificial sugar, sweets, desserts, ice creams, packed food, fried food, all junk food all sugary drinks, artificial juices and sodas. Even deep frozen foods are a no no since they have preservatives. Remember, in addition to piling up waste calories, your internal organs and arteries also get damaged.
The combo of sufficient carbohydrates and proteins with lots of greens and salads is ideal for meals as the carbs will provide enough energy and the fiber will keep you fuller for longer.
Do not skip meals. It’s outright dangerous and unhealthy.
Check your smoking/drinking habits. Try to limit and stop them altogether.
Religiously record when and what you ate/drank and also how hungry you were when you started eating and how were you feeling then. Often, we have a lot of bites of stuff here and there without consciously realizing how it is adding to the unneeded food and calories. Also list if what you had was FUN or FUEL food. Fun foods are those which do not serve any useful purpose to the body except empty calories. The ratio of fuel to fun foods should be 9:1.
Limit tea/coffee intake. 1 to 2 cups a day with little sugar are fine. But please do not have tea empty stomach first thing in the morning. Trust me, it was very hard for me to give up my morning tea but I did and I am very happy now

Six of Coins from the Hoodoo Tarot
I've mentioned that I don't use tarot cards in a predictive sense. So many times a reader will say something is going to happen and it doesn't happen. There could be so many reasons for that, but rather than decide that tarot cards don't work, I have embraced tarot's power to sort me out mentally and emotionally. And I allow those predictive cards to give me hope and motivation—which keeps me moving forward.
I just pulled the Six of Coins from the Hoodoo Tarot. From a predictive lens it means money, money, money! The deck's author Tayannah Lee McQuillar lists the cards associations as charitable giving, debt repayment, loans, grants, scholarships, philanthropy, financial aid, receiving money owed, earning money, and sugar daddies/mamas. McQuillar also includes giving in a larger sense. She indicates the card can also signify equality, mentoring, helping others, and those who care about the community.
An impactful feature of this deck is the connection McQuillar makes between tarot and hoodoo traditions of the American south. In Black Southern culture, an itchy palm has always been said to signify money is coming to you. McQuillar also includes plant associations for each card. Hoodoo healers used a lot of traditional plant medicines in their practices. The plant associated with this card is the Four-leaf clover, the plant of luck.
Turning away from the predictive possibilities of the card, I lean into this card being a symbol of luck, of efforts being rewarded, of abundance flowing my way. Energetically, it gives me a lift, that suggests I will reap the benefits of my hard work. Psychologically, I draw comfort from the possibility that I am building up a bank of good luck for myself through the way I'm moving through the world.
Luck to me is not just something you sit back and receive. It's an opening of the way that is in direct response to where you have been putting your energy and your efforts. The way I think of it is the money needs a pathway to get to you and the luck needs to know where to land. So where have you been putting your efforts? The 6 of coins suggests fruit will flow from that labor. And just that mere suggestion is a release for me. I feel a wave of positive energy that my time and labor is not wasted.
If you're reading this, take a look at foundations you have laid and check to see if they are bearing fruit. If you don't have a flowering happening ask if you have been making space for your dreams and making pathways for money. And I don't mean it in an all-intensive, create a business type of way. I mean it in foundational ways, like the conversations you have, the places where you share your passions and your work, the things that you make.
Are you in the sandbox doing? Are you playing with your ideas and sharing them with the world? Are you making a space for the luck to land? It's your job to clear the space, to show the world where the things that matter to you live, and that you have the heart to breathe life into your visions. Then it's the universe's job to work in concert with you, send you bursts of support and energy—sometimes in the form of money, sometimes in the form of synchronicity, and sometimes in the form of luck. That's how you know you're on the path.
Wishing you lots of blossoming and abundance on your path, and welcoming lots of blossoming and abundance on mine!
🙏🏾🙏🏾
Onward,
—K. Ibura

how did the Spn writers get away with The Empty fiasco?
I wnatedto confirm something so I went on the wiki page and they just contradicted everything over time
I makes me so angry
but also the relationship between billie and shadow makes me curious, she threatned to throw sam and dean in empty when she was just a reaper
while the shadow itself confirmed that God not having power over its domain was a lie.
How did Billie have that power? does that mean any reaper can do that?
then why didn't the OG death send Godstiel to empty? wouldn't that have solved the levaithan probelm?
Good question about how Billie would have had the power to throw Sam and Dean into the Empty. Also Billie seems always very serious about upholding rules. So not only wouldn't she have the power, it would be OOC for her to abuse her power like that.
One possibility is that was just Billie's expression of her disdain for the Winchesters keep being resurrected. Another plausible explanation I can think of, is this would not have violated the rules. That Sam and Dean were already destined to go to the Empty when they die. Which meant, they were not human anymore after having been resurrected too many times. Of course then both went to heaven in the finale, but perhaps that's because Chuck's rules no longer applied (and they were always exempt from the show's rules anyway).
The whole OG Death and how he dealt with the situation in 7x01 made zero sense and was just the Winchesters prevailing over any logic and cohesion of the narrative. He got enslaved by two humans and then does nothing to retaliate after freed by Godstiel?
Death not sending Godstiel to the Empty on his own accord was probably because he didn't generally kill anybody who wasn't "supposed to" die already (as he tried to show Dean when he made Dean death for a day, there is a natural order of life and death, and Death upholds it and does not interfere). He probably doesn't see the Leviathan or the resulting death of humans as a problem for him, but just part of the story of the world that unfolds which he stands outside of.
It sort of calls into the question of whether "the natural order" was decreed by God. Because they presented Death as being equal to God ("in the end I will reap God too") it would suggest the natural order was outside of God's domain. But God created life (and with it death), so how could the rules of life and death have stood indepdent of God?
I also hated that they made Billie a villain in the last minute. Like if Billie wanted to kill all the people who had been resurrected due to Chuck's manipulation of the rules, she could have done so already. She was Death. If OG death could be enslaved to kill, it meant that Death has the power to kill anybody they wanted.
I could keep going down rabbit holes, but it's not going to be fruitful trying to make sense of all the plot points. There is always going to be the need to "suspend disbelief" for any fantasy stories to make the story work. When there are that many seasons and so many different writers espcially I can see how it may be difficult to keep things straight. But sometimes the contrivance is so excessive it's hard to overlook it even if you want to believe. Sometimes (as the case with myself) one doesn't want to be cooperative with the writers' intention making those inconsistencies even more glaring.

Tonight is the Full Corn Moon named because this is a time of the corn harvests. The August Full Moon is also known as the Sturgeon Moon because this was the time when wild sturgeon and Salmon would be abundant in rivers and streams. At this time our emotions will be heightened, our senses will be sharp, things that were hidden or in the shadows can now be seen.
If you have been feeling stuck in a situation or that everything has been standing still lately, get ready because this Full Moon will be bringing with it a wind of change. The whole of earth is going through a massive transition at the minute, Summer is fading and Autumn is coming in, leaves are starting to change colour on the trees, plants and flowers are dying and seeding the earth for next Spring. But at the same time crops in fields are flourishing with the harvest, fruit is now at it's most ripest. We will feel this energy of transformation, we should use it to help transform and shape ourselves into what we want to be.
The Full Moon is in the sign of Aquarius. The time is potent to follow our hearts and to create new pathways. We have shed our skin, now is the time to emerge and start turning the visions we have of ourselves into something real. There will be some deep emotional changes happening now, don't fight them, let them come to the surface we must move with the changes, allow what wants to come forth, and trust our inner knowing and guidance.
Your enthusiasm, idealism and creativity will be at an all time high. You will be bursting with new ideas and energy. You could have sudden insights into the future and where it is you are going. Dreams will be wild and vivid and could even be prophetic. You can move from a breakdown to a breakthrough now. You are experiencing a transformation in consciousness, big changes are coming.
Sometimes your growth can feel weird and strange when you are no longer connecting to your past. But truly, the old way of living no longer works for you. You are experiencing new aspects of yourself and life. You are giving birth to the new you, and giving birth is painful. This is real work. This is real growth. There is so much to celebrate right now. Realise that to live out new, promising visions there's a need to restructure and grow. A new vision of the future will be illuminated, it is up to you what you do with it.
Most of all tonight's Full Moon will be about healing. Let the Air element of Aquarius blow away negative thoughts and feelings and take you on a journey of discovery. Let go of the past and welcome in the future. This is the harvest and it is time to start reaping what we have sown, your hard work will start paying off. Take the gifts life offers you and make the most of them.
Have a Blessed Full Moon, May the Goddess watch over you.

Peeta mellark x male reader
We all know who Katniss Everdeen is, but what if Primrose hadn't been chosen but another boy from another unfortunate family? YOUR family.
Info: This is basically a reader insert and I've changed a few rules, not ground breaking though. The reader is a bit bland for now but I plan for his actions to be different. Because he has different moral grounds from Katniss and such. Would appreciate feedback! FEEL FREE TO POINT OUT TYPOS. GRAMMARLY SOMETIMES DOESN'T DO MY DYSLEXIC ASS JUSTICE
Part one: You're here right now. :)
Part two: Over there, pepperoni. :)
Wattpad account: L0calxDumbass
—--—---—---—----—----—----—---
I sighed, smiling as I watched my brother gather flowers. It was the early morning, I had to go out hunting soon, but then again, it wouldn't hurt to keep him company for a while.
"Nal," I called, it was a nickname short for his name, Kunal. An odd name, to say the least. Mother told me it meant Lotus, her favourite flower.
His strawberry blonde hair swayed towards me, a smile forming on his face. He held a couple of lily's in his hands, his blue eyes glittering. "Y/n!" he said back, waving towards me.
I slowly walked towards him, squatting down next to him. He gave me a lily from his makeshift bouquet, humming. "Look at what I got!" he exclaimed.
I chuckled, roughly putting my hand on his head, messing with his hair. He groaned and in retaliation, he pulled on one of my small braids. It was something my father used to do to my hair when we went off to the woods. I used to hate it, but now I wear it every day, quite funny, really.
"Ow—hey, I just fixed that you little—" I let out, pulling my hand off his head as he let out an unprovoked yell. "AHHH MOM, Y/N'S SWEARING AGAIN!"
I sighed, managing to pry him off me, our heads turning towards our mother, she had the same hair and features as my brother, maybe that's why she preferred him over me.
"Kunal, get inside, time for breakfast!" she called, waving him over. Nal said a small "bye-bye", waving at me before running to our mother who welcomed him with open arms.
She looked at me, I could feel her icy glare. But beyond all of that, her eyes showed a little bit of concern, as if she's afraid. It made sense, district 12 wasn't the kindest of places, illegal hunting is dangerous and she was my mother, after all.
I watched as my brother gave him the lilies, a smile forming on her lips, her eyes wrinkling. My hands tensed a little, I passed it off to the chilly breeze, not wanting to think about this in the early morning. "Bye," I muttered, turning away as I went towards the woods.
My hands gripped the rough bark, scaling up a tree with little to no effort. I arrived at a certain spot, reaching into a hole where my hunting equipment was hidden.
I pulled out a small set of thin, throwing daggers. I looked at it, gripping the leather strapping on the handle. This was the reason, the reason everything went downhill that day.
Yet I still keep it, to honour my father. This set was one of the only things he left when he was executed in the most painful way possible. I let out a hitched breath at the thought of it, holstering it on my belt.
I pulled out a hunting bow, something my friend gave me. I wasn't the best at it, I was better at throwing more than anything. It was worth learning though, it was best used when hunting smaller game like rabbits and squirrels.
To my right, was a nest of mocking birds. I whistled a basic 3 tunes to them, which they listened to and replicated. My lips formed into a small smile, waving at the birds before I leapt to another tree.
My father taught me how to traverse the forest through trees. I remember falling every time I leapt from tree to tree, my father laughing as he caught my hand. Sometimes I'd just fall to the ground, resisting the urge to cry as I insisted to try again.
He and I have a lot in common, I took more after my father more than I did my mother. Both physically and mentally. While my mother was more grounded, my father would never shut up about freedom and life without the capitol.
It wasn't something ideal for life like this. Any word or action against the capitol and you can get executed right on the spot, something I had to learn the hard way.
I've always found the ground limiting, the coal dust in the air quite suffocating. Unlike in these heights, where the air was fresh, cool. You saw so much more, moved so much more. It was a taste of freedom, something I've always wanted.
I arrived at a location hidden away from unwanted eyes. Landing on a large rock ledge that was reachable from above if you leapt or swung far enough. Of course, there were times where I didn't stick the landing and ended up in the thicket of berry bushes, ending up with several, stinging, unwanted "friends".
"I'm early for once," I huffed, grinning as I laid down the rock. I put my leg on top of the other, using my hands to support my head. A small, yellow butterfly landed on my nose, making me smile.
"Hey, owl eyes," A voice boomed, making the butterfly fly away. My brows furrowed as I looked in the direction of the voice. "Finally stopped daydreaming of burning the Capitol down?" he teased, grinning.
I shot him a look, "Mhmm," I hummed, "Daydreaming of throwing them off a cliff instead," I said, making him snort.
"And how do you plan to do that?" He asked, smirking. I threw a small rock at his forehead, scoffing. "Shut it, Gale" I retorted.
He rolled his eyes, a mischievous look on his face "I was going to give you some of this bread I shot, but since you're like that, I guess I'll just have to share this with Catnip," he said, holding up a loaf of bread, an arrow pierced through it.
I laughed looking up at the sky, "Oh come on, don't be like that, Gale," I spread my limbs across the surface of the cool rock. "Don't pick favourites, but— between me and Kat, who's the lucky favourite?"
Gale hummed as if thinking deeply. "Definitely Catnip," he answered making my head turn sharply towards him. I shot him a glare, a look of betrayal. He let out a bark of laughter, just in time for Katniss to arrive.
He held up the bread once more, "Hey catnip, look at what I shot," he said. "He said that two times already," I groaned, raising a finger.
Katniss laughed, the bread handed to her. "Mhh, still warm," she commented, sniffing the crust of the bread after she had pulled out the arrow.
If I hadn't known any better, I would say that they were siblings. Straight black hair, olive skin and same grey eyes. Most of the families who work in the mines resemble each other this way. That's why my family has always stuck out like a sore thumb, like Katniss' mother and sister.
My mother and brother with strawberry blonde hair, my brother, in particular, having my father's blue eyes. Father and I had bright copper-red hair, I shared my mother's green eyes.
From what I've heard my father used to be a merchant, selling various herbs, fruits, plants and meat until he's settled down here for my mother, began working in the mines, along with illegal hunting.
The peacekeepers and the mayor let it slide though, They crave fresh meat just like anyone else in the district. Our district was looked down upon, the capitol didn't really pay attention to it. This is why we can get away with these.
My train of thought was interrupted by a berry landing on my face, making me scrunch my face as Katniss finished a joke with a Capitol accent. The two always told me I was easily distracted, a disadvantage when it came to hunting.
Though I'd say it's an advantage when I'm not busy daydreaming I tend to spot small animals, like that one bird flying west of me, or that small worm crawling next to me.
Gale tapped my hand, which was dangling from the rock. He handed me a piece of bread, some cheese spread on it. I sat up, one of my knees bent, resting my elbows on it as I thanked him.
"We could do it, you know?" He said quietly, effectively drawing my attention, as well as Katniss'. "What?" she asked. I only remained silent, biting into the bread as my other foot dangled from the rock, swinging around.
"Runaway from the district, live in the woods, you and I, maybe Y/n too if he wants to, we could make it," He said, I nodded, swallowing a healthy portion of the bread. "You know I want to," I interjected.
Gale sighed, "If only we didn't have so many kids," Of course, they weren't our actual children, though they might as well be. He has two little brothers and a sister, Katniss has a sister and I have Kunal. There's also our parents, another mouth to feed.
My mom doesn't really have a source of income, so I'm left working the majority of the month, only taking a break at least for a day. Though the three of us split our games, It's never really enough. We still have times where we would curl up on our cots on an empty stomach. It happened far more often than any of us would like.
With my father gone, I was left to provide for my own family. These forests are practically my home, the only thing missing was Kunal and my mom's icy stares.
"I don't want any children," Katniss responded plainly. "I might if I didn't live here," said Gale.
"But you do," She responded irritably, I glanced between them, chewing on my bread slowly. "Forget it," Gale snapped, sighing,
It would be a lie if I haven't thought of this. They call me a daydreamer because of this, I'd much rather dream of being one with the mocking jays, flying freely without worrying about the Capitol's prying eyes than face the fact that that would never happen.
A trait passed down to me by my father, as I said. We hate the fact that we are treated like caged birds, though used to it, we'll never be comfortable. Unlike my mother.
Sometimes I wonder what drew them to each other.
"What do you want to do?" Katniss asked, making me perk up. "How about we fish at the lake?" I suggested. They both nodded as a grim thought settled in my head.
Kunal turned 12 this year, his name is on the ballot for today, Reaping day. Though only once, there's a slim chance that he might get chosen. He could barely stand against an angry, small mutt, running to my legs whenever he gets scared.
If he gets chosen, I wouldn't know what to do. Surely my mother would resent me even more, why was I her only child left then? No, it wouldn't get to that, surely not.
I clenched my fists as we travelled to the lake, feeling the anger bubble inside me. I remembered one of the many reasons I despised these ridiculous, power-hungry people.
"I'll destroy them one day, don't worry, pa" I whispered, though I'm sure Gale and Katniss heard me. They just knew.

Khr x HungerGames
None of the Arcobaleno remember their memories till they see one another so the only ones who remember are Viper and Verde (District three) and Colonello and Lal Mirch (District 2). Reborn is in district one; Fon is in district ten; Skull is in district four.
In this universe Mini-Quells exist for when tensions become high, allowing the capital to immediately retaliate with ‘well instead of within the age bracket you all have to put your names in :)’ kind-of like the Quarter-Quells but with less fanfare.
One such event happened on the 70th Hunger Games because they could feel the tensions rising. These games were based around siblings and from district 4 13 year old [name] gets drawn and as such Skull age 7 is reaped alongside his sister.
Skull’s sister dies sometime in the first three days in a horrible and traumatic manner leaving him to flee. Eventually someone bigger and stronger than him (not hard he’s 7) ends up chasing him and he runs into a hole in a tree in the middle of a horseshoe shaped lake. A huge octopus muttation eats the chasers and Skull is terrified still but eventually forms a symbiotic relationship with the muttation.
Skull plays tiny and injured and drawing tributes over as food for the octopus. Skull eats oranges for food as the entire arena is an orange orchard. His sponsor sends him a bunch of stuff like makeup and fake blood to play injured and desperate better. He’s a crowd favorite.
Eventually it’s a battle between Skull and the District nine girl smart enough to realise that he was faking and they wrestle with Skull managing to stab her because he was too small for her to really grip. The winning canon sounds and Skull falls into a near catatonic state as he realises it was over and he ends up staring blankly at his bloodstained hands until he’s retrieved. He is unavailable for interview after.
The question of custody comes up as upon learning that her two very young children were going into the death game, Skull’s mother became unstable and after his sister’s death she committed suicide via attacking peacekeepers.
Haymitch gets attached and offers to adopt him “Hey, it’s a tale of one older, now boring, victor looking after a young relevant one, you capitol folk love that shit right?”. Taking after another human being helps Haymitch recover somewhat because he can’t help Skull if he’s drowning in a bottle.
Skull slowly grows more stable but goes ‘blank’ sometimes, especially when triggered by things like oranges (he can’t even look at the fruit anymore) or blood. He is required to go to the district 12 reapings and all that but he is almost always blanking that out and he shows no interest in mentoring anyone until Katniss who looks and acts like his sister.
He gives the two some advice from the perspective of someone who was at an extreme disadvantage; it doesn’t really change anything because Katniss is worldly but they pack on some extra pounds before the arena just in case.
Skull really wants Katniss to make it and when she does he tackle hugs her. The Capitol broadcast this and go insane because omg our fave from four years ago has adopted this years fave as his sister!!! (Peter may or may not survive idk) It is also coincidentally when the other Arcobaleno see him and are like ‘huh that’s Skull’ isn’t it.
The Arcobaleno somehow make their way to Skull and the rest of the fic is the comfort part of a hurt/comfort with the Arco learning his triggers and helping him move past his trauma. Maybe relationships happen maybe not. (SkullxFon4life)

For trivia Tuesday, will you please share a headcanon about what the tributes like most about each of their districts? For as many of the tributes as you want to talk about 😊
This was so much fun, thank you Juno! Gonna put it under a cut because I have a feeling it might be a little long.
Lawrence's favourite part of District 1 is how much freedom it gives her. As a wealthy District who are in with the Capitol, they don't need to be so strict on the people who live there. Her favourite thing to do is walk around the shops looking at all the expensive jewels she hopes to one day buy.
Bim likes the smell of the District after it's been raining. The rain water on the stone of all the masonry works creates a metallic smell which is very pleasing to them.
Tayce likes the sense of community. Despite District 3 being quite poor, everyone in her area knows everyone and therefore everyone looks out for each other. She loves it when there are gatherings, such as weddings or birthdays, where they can forget their lives and just celebrate. She feels safe in the knowledge that if anything happens to her, the community will be sure to rally around her family.
Ellie's favourite thing about District 4 is the feeling of sand between her toes. She's a great swimmer, as most from her district are, but there's nothing quite like being able to stand up in the salty water and feel the foundation beneath you. She finds it comforting, and doesn't mind the grainy texture. (Although she will be fuming for absolute days if any sand gets in her hair)
A'whora likes the winter nights in District 5. She'll creep outside when her nan is in bed and carefully climb up the fence to sit on the roof of her house, looking out at the district all lit up. She likes the feeling of the cold wind in her hair, staring ahead until her eyes blur over and she starts to shiver. Sometimes she thinks that if she looks hard enough she can see the lights of the Capitol.
Sister likes her school in District 6. She doesn't care so much for the people in it, but she likes the routine and learning new things. Her teachers think that she never listens due to her bored facade, but Sister loves learning about the history of the games and about the transport that the district are known for. Before getting reaped she thought it was a shame that she would have to work in a factory like the rest of the family and not be allowed to go to university like children in the Capitol.
Tia's favourite thing about District 7 is the forest. She spends half her days there anyway, cutting down trees, but if she has a day off or she's upset about something, she'll take a walk through the forest, always ending up at the baby ones that only come up to her hips. It reminds her that even if you cut something down, you can always make new life from it. She remembers this whenever she's feeling hopeless.
Veronica likes the market place in District 8. The district itself is miserable, an industrialised wasteland full of factories, but once a week the market will set up and the district will flood with colour. One of Veronica's earliest memories is being carried through the market by her mum and being given a sugar cube for being so well behaved. She takes her siblings each week, and all three of them walk home with sugar cubes in their mouths.
Ginny loves the smell of freshly baked bread. They linger by the grain factories and the bakeries, just on the off chance that they may be able to smell some bread that's just come out of the oven. It reminds them of a home that's long gone, a family that they barely remember. Sometimes a baker or two will take a shine to their eccentric nature and "accidentally" burn a roll or two for them. Ginny longs to work there one day, but decides to stick to harvesting the grain for now.
Asttina's favourite thing about District 10 is the fact that her dad is there. He raised her all alone after her mum died in childbirth, and everyone that knows them admires his love and dedication to her. She worships him, doing everything and anything to impress him and make him proud. Many generations of Mandella's have lived in District 10, and he tells her everyday to keep her chin up because she's carrying their family legacy.
District 11 is incredibly harsh on it's inhabitants, but if you ask Cherry about where she lives, she'll just tell you all about the plants that surround her house. The warm weather is great for the crops they grow for the Capitol, but also for wild fruits to spring up from cracks in the ground. Cherry got her name from one of the plants, a small cherry tree that began fruiting the day before her mum gave birth to her. During the summer she likes to pick as many flowers and berries as she can find and present them as a gift to her mum.
Joe likes the songs of District 12. Forget what the Capitol tell you about music not being popular in the districts - the miners will sing until the cows come home and then they'll sing them a lullaby. Joe revels in the joyful sound of so many voices together, lifting up in a beautiful tune. She'll then go home and recreate it for her sister and niece before writing a new song just for them. Sometimes, if she's feeling particularly outspoken, she'll sing a new song she composed for the men she works alongside. Their voices singing her tune makes her feel happiness like nothing else.
#ahh thank you juno!!#just close your eyes#trivia tuesday#hunger games au#once again I lack self control and just do them all
