Tarot Observations

I have been thinking a lot about how to simplify the tarot minor arcana because I don't see many people do this. Most of the time the focus is on the major arcana.

6 of wands: it is good for me NOW

6 of pentacles: it is good for you NOW

6 of swords: it will be good overall LATER

6 of cups: it was so good overall BEFORE

I find it very interesting that six is a number that represents one thing overall.

Good Fortune

The few things that change in-between each suit is when the good stuff happens and who it happens too. The good thing is still gonna happen. The suit lets you know the details of the good fortune. However, it also represents sacrifice. Someone is always at a loss in each suit.

Obviously there is plenty of nuisance that each card carries but my aim was meant to see the commonalities between each 6.

Divining in Darkness: Winter Divination Customs

by Keziah

Winter. The word evokes a sense of chill, of cold, crisp air, and of dark, long, quiet nights. Darkness is often seen as a symbol of confusion or unfamiliarity, of uncertainty, of not knowing the way forward, but darkness can, indeed, be a powerful ally in the art of divination. Darkness can be the backdrop for some of the oldest and most varied forms of divination still known to us, and it can also be a tool itself, a key player in our divinatory practices. Two such realms of divination that rely on darkness in their own ways will be explored in this piece, two schools of divination that are perfect to welcome into our winter practices and traditions.

FIRE DIVINATION

As a backdrop, darkness serves its purpose in divination in many ways. For those who look to use fire as a divinatory tool, it is in the depths of darkness that fire is most useful to us, to ward off the chill of winter, as well as to brighten the space we inhabit.

Divination by fire is called pyromancy – from the Greek πῦρ / pyr (meaning ‘fire’) and μαντεία / manteia (meaning ‘to divine by’ or ‘divination by means of’). Fire is held as sacred in many cultures, partly due to the importance of fire as a means of survival throughout history. Fire is seen as a powerful element, a conduit of pure and strengthening energy, and, in many cultures, a symbol of life or a symbol of a god or gods. It finds a vital role in many religious and magical rituals – from the use of candles to the use of bonfires and pyres. Just as there are many ways to use fire in ritual, there are just as many ways to use fire in divination.

Pyromancy is a great method of divination to include in your winter practice, and there are some amazingly simple ways to do so!

Basic Pyromancy

Pyromancy in its most basic form is the act of divination by the observance of flame. One way to do this is also called fire scrying – when one stares into flame to see what symbols or images appear to them there. This can be either a physical event, in that the shape, symbol, letter, etc. appeared in the dancing flames; but it can also be a symbol or image that is mentally received, that forms in the subconscious or psychic mind whilst one is focused on their scrying.

Fire scrying can be done with just candleflame or with a larger fire, such as in a fireplace or campfire.

Another easy way to divine by fire is by using the sounds of fire instead of scrying for images. With a fireplace or campfire, one can divine by the sounds of the pops that the burning wood makes. Some practitioners will speak questions to the flames either aloud or in their minds, taking the pops sounding off after the question as their answer. One can assign meaning to these sounds – for example, one pop means yes, a series of pops or crackling means no, and silence means that the answer is inconclusive.

Using Candles

Observing the behavior of a candle flame is a wonderful way to use fire in divination. Some methods can be as simple as speaking or thinking questions to the flame and then watching the flame for a response. One interprets as they will – perhaps a still, sturdy flame indicates a negative response while a wildly flickering flame indicates a positive, or vice versa. The ways these responses are interpreted is purely personal and up to each individual reader, and different behaviors the flame may exhibit have different associations across varying cultures.

Another method of using candles in divination is ceromancy (alternative spelled carromancy) – divining by use of candle wax. There are many ways to perform ceromancy. One of the simplest forms is to light a candle and let the wax drip down, observing the wax as it melts.

Does it accumulate more in one area than another? Does the accumulation form a distinct shape or symbol? Does the wax instead melt smoothly, burning into a puddle at the base of the candle? Does the wax drip steadily?

Study the wax and interpret it as you will, as interpretations vary from culture to culture, creed to creed. For example, in some practices, piles or mounds of accumulated wax are said to signify a strong, sturdy footing one stands on, while in others these mounds may instead symbolize a roadblock or obstacle in one’s way.

A well-known method of ceromancy calls for heating wax until it melts and then pouring the melted wax into cold water. The cold water will solidify the melted wax once more, and the ribbons of wax will form shapes or symbols in the water. These shapes, along with the movements of the wax in the water, can be used to divine.

A variation of this method calls for holding a lit candle sideways over a bowl of cold water, so that the melting wax drips directly into the cold water. Observe the behavior of the wax as it falls into the water, as it solidifies, and it drifts or sinks into the bowl below. What can you see in the wax and its movements? What do the shapes it forms mean to you? What does the behavior of the wax say to you?

Using Smoke

Another form of divination connected to fire or to burning is capnomancy – divination by smoke. Capnomancy can be performed with any smoke but is commonly done with the smoke of a campfire or pyre, the smoke of a candle (either an extinguished candle or by the smoke around a particularly active flame), or the smoke from incense (which is called libanomancy).

One reads the ribbons of smoke. Perhaps symbols or images or letters appear in their curls, or maybe the behavior of the smoke speaks to you.

Some methods interpret the posture of the smoke – curling smoke being read as a bad omen and straight, upright smoke being read as a good omen.

Other methods interpret the thickness and volume of the smoke – a strong, thick pillar of smoke and a lot of smokiness is said to be a good omen, with a weak plume and little smoke being a bad omen.

With libanomancy (the burning of incense for divinatory purposes), certain incenses are preferred over others. To name just a few –

Frankincense has long been used for divinatory purposes through the ages and across many cultures and religions.

Cinnamon is a powerful multi-tool when it comes to witchcraft, and its connection to divinatory skill is but one benefit this powerful herbal ally provides. It is believed that cinnamon can strengthen one’s psychic skill, promoting psychic and subconscious awareness and awakening the psychic within. It can also be used in protection magic, money and prosperity spells, love spells, cleansing work, and healing spells, and is known for its association with good fortune and fertility, thereby being a handy tool to utilize in any divining surrounding questions of love, financial matters, and health.

Hibiscus can be used in incense for divination, especially for divination pertaining to dreams or spirit communication.

Likewise, jasmine incense is good for divining via communication with spirits and ancestors, as well as divination for further clarity in the realm of our dreams.

Camphor incense is not only associated with strengthening one’s gifts for prophecy, but also for cleansing a space and one’s energy, which is ideal for divination.

SCRYING

As a tool itself, darkness is essential in many forms of divination, though perhaps in none more so than scrying, which often relies on darkness as a focal point to steady ourselves, to open our minds, and to clear our minds of any unnecessary clutter that stands in the way of deeply productive divinatory practice.

Scrying is an ancient and beloved divinatory method which involves gazing into a surface or area (often a reflective surface or into darkness in a room, sometimes at the sky or even at the backs of one’s eyelids) and opening oneself to receive visions or images implanted upon the subconscious or psychic self. This is often done via entering a trance or meditative state, though some scryers find they need not fully induce a trance state to receive images or messages. Scrying, like fire divination, is a great method to include in our winter practice because of how available darkness is to us during this time of year.

Using Dark Windows

Many scryers like to use dark, reflective surfaces to scry in. This can be a black bowl filled with water, a pane of glass against a black background or with black paint upon the backside of the glass, or any other dark, reflective surface. Using windows at night, particularly if you live in an area where there is not much light interference from streetlamps or neighbors or the headlights of passing cars, can be a very accessible method of scrying, though this method can also be easily disrupted by situational circumstance outside of one’s control.

That being said, should the darkness of your window remain undisturbed, it absolutely can be a tool for scrying. With the nights of winter longer and darker than the rest of the year, winter is the perfect time to give this method of scrying a go.

Using Ice

For those of us who live in areas where winter means ice, ice scrying is an accessible and fun seasonal method of divination. Though, you don’t have to use ice that has occurred naturally, and we’ll go into an easy at-home method of ice scrying in just a moment.

Now, how to ice scry. As said before, scryers often like to use reflective surfaces. Sometimes, ice isn’t reflective. In fact, usually ice is reflective when either there is only a thin layer of ice atop a body of water that hasn’t yet frozen underneath, or when ice is beginning to melt, leaving a thin layer of water atop ice. So, either of these circumstances provides a great, natural scrying surface. However, for those who don’t necessarily need an extremely reflective surface, ice can still be an especially useful scrying tool.

Water is a powerful, natural ally in divination and witchcraft. Often associated with spirit work, spirit realms, spirit communication, with change and growth, with slow, stalwart strength, and with adaptability, water can be used a great deal in divination, an art with which its spirit and energy often aligns. Ice being water in a frozen state gives us an opportunity to utilize water’s energies in new ways.

Water scrying is quite common. Ice scrying less so. But that doesn’t mean that it is necessarily any less effective. In fact, some scryers may find it easier for them to enter the state of mind they need for scrying using ice – something still and solid – instead of water.

For an easy at-home ice scrying session, try filling a bowl with water and freezing it just enough so that at least the very top layer is ice. Then, you can use your bowl of icy water in a dark room with one or two candles lit nearby. The dim light of the candles helps provide a shine atop the partly frozen bowl of icy water. Sit before the bowl, staring into its dark, icy surface, and do whatever feels right to you to enter the state of mind you need for scrying, whatever best enables you to receive visions, messages, and images.

Both divining by fire and divining by scrying are a great way to broaden and deepen our connection with the winter season, as well as being a way to help link our practices to the seasons and the natural cycles of time. For those of you who choose to take up any of these methods of pyromancy or scrying, I wish you the very best in your endeavors. Happy winter!

Advice I'd Give to My Younger Self.

Be unapologetic about your presence. Never enter a room with your head lowered. Hold your head up like you are proud to be who you are. Take up space. Be bold in your actions. Let your voice be heard.

You don't have to be perfect. Get over perfectionism and the fear of being embarrassed. Learn to own all your flaws and insecurities and continue to do what you love.

What other people say mean nothing. Never loose sleep over anyone’s opinion of you. They are not God and they don't define you.

Believe in yourself. You can be successful just like those people you look up to. You have what it takes. Hone your skills and be great too.

Appreciate your unique gifts and qualities. Stop comparing yourself to others and changing yourself to fit in. Always stay true to yourself.

WHAT ARE THEIR REAL FEELINGS FOR YOU ? 🦢 pick a pile ♡

disclaimer : only for entertainment purposes and may not be 100% correct all the times.

This reading is not about love, crushes, fs etc. Not about romantic connections.

Pile 01

This is a very sweet energy 😭 whomever you are asking about really appreciates your presence in their life. They might suffer with a low self worth or feelings of being unworthy and unloved. But you, fill their cup with so much of love and care. Your affection makes their cry. Like how can someone be so sweet and loving. They can't believe that such an innocent and unconditionally loving person really exists in their life. They are very grateful for you. They also have invested or started saving some small amount of money for you both. It's a small start but will definitely help you both in future. This person is thinking of the long term with you. You give them hope to survive in this cruel and harsh world.

Pile 02

This person feels like you are different from everybody else. They find you unique and interesting, maybe you have some niche interests which most people don't have or smth like that. They find it really intriguing about you. They find your aura motherly and nurturing, but you also have great boundaries when it comes to people. This person feels like you trigger them to change. Your words of wisdom really screws up this person's mind in a good way ofc. That's why they find you interesting. They want to know more about you. It's like a mysterious aura surrounds you. They also feel like you have struggled a lot in life, people may have betrayed you and they see you with respectful eyes for that. They also find you very giving materialistically. You don't hesitate to pay for a friend who has forgotten their purse, they notice that kind nature of yours. They also feel like you are leader like.

Pile 03

They feel like you are a very hardworking and focused and goal oriented person. You want to achieve big things in life. The person you are asking about may be a mentor or a teacher or someone along those lines. They see how diligently you do things and even the smallest things are carved with perfection. They definitely know that you are gonna make it big in life if you continue doing so. They wish well for you and see you as their junior.

Not much is coming here as this person sees you from a distance and you guys may work in a professional setting but they will definitely be nice to you if you initiate some conversations.

what you need to hear right now: channeled from spirit

message: I love this type of art, I have tons of it on my Pinterest but anyway that's sort of beside the point, I feel called to do a message but I feel very low on energy within as of late. I want to try and keep this one short, sweet, and clear. As you know, especially if you're a light worker or intuitive, shifts within the collective, within energy however it comes are always felt first by us. If there is a symptom of change, I'm feeling it 10x over so that I can prepare to relay that information to the collective because I would honestly consider myself to be a vessel. As I cope with my life and my own human experience I am also in the process of collecting important information so that I can guide the collective effectively and let me tell you, I've been through some SHIT with the opening force of 2024. Anyways, enjoy the reading and I pray that you find what you're looking for and what you need with me in my space today.

"we've been watching you juggle both the physical and the spiritual within your hands for the past couple weeks, you may feel as though your worlds are colliding your the sky and the ocean has folded over with you in the center. There comes a time in one's life when the elements that make up their world must come into alignment and fuse with one another. You were told to learn what it meant to be a balanced individual, and so as you completed and closed off karmic lessons and overcame blockages you became closer and closer to equilibrium and these moments now are crucial as what you had needed all long is on its way to be delivered to you. You've been learning what it means to manage your time, manage your energy, and spread yourself where needed to obtain the results you desire. You have one foot in the spiritual realm and one foot in the physical world. Your development as of now is so incredibly important and we're supporting you in your journey forward.

Things may appear to be slow, backed up, or difficult at this time but movement is coming in quickly and to be expected soon. You've planted your seeds to receive and as you deserve, you shall. within the next two weeks for some of you and even a couple of days for a select few of you, things will begin to move forward or pick up momentum. Set your intentions straight and make sure that they are unwavering. there is success on the horizon, whatever is difficult or isn't working out for you that will change. You've grown so much, and your only job at this time is to nurture yourself and your manifestations, show yourself grace, ask for healing, ask for closure, and ask for the necessary tools to care for yourself as one should. And become clear and aligned with whatever you are manifesting, and put yourself in the position to receive by doing the work on your end and meeting us in the middle with your will and your gratitude. If there's a will there's a way even if you don't have everything in the world to offer in exchange. Come to terms with your power and the part you play in your world.

A select few of you are royalty within the spiritual realm you are kin of spirits who are highly respected and praised in the beyond and that is why the pile you chose depicts the divinity of a matriarch holding her child. Look for gold jewelry and gold trinkets and items if you choose to go out shopping or collecting. You feel called to build something or may have an idea, honor your ideas, and put actions behind what you desire to reap. Those of you who know that you are divinely protected are being heavily watched over and shielded, there could potentially be gossip by those of whom you've left behind or parted from but their tongues will be stilled when they speak of you they summon your spiritual court ( your ancestors, your spirit guides, guardian angels and all deities who call out to you and respect you.) their karma is sharp. Pay no mind to any negative energy sent to you by others. They talk only because they want to be paid great attention to but the audience lies in front of you and the universe's love and support is more than evident on your side.

You are about to succeed heavily, many things will be given to you, prosperity and congratulations are in order, the people will see. you are in a position to receive well in your finances, so well you will be able to give to others or keep your abundance in full cycle forward and back to you. We once told you that you would be compensated greatly for your hardship and the spiritual council has spoken and reached a solid verdict on your reward and the size and volume of the gifts you're about to receive. Do nothing but nurture thyself and expand from this point forward. be easy with secureness in your good fortune, do not let your fear or your anxiety eclipse you there is no purpose for any of it."

-

II.

"You asked to be free of the things that threaten to hold you hostage and one of the biggest of those things happens to be you. It's time for change and it's time for growth. As you step into the new year you have no choice but to be reset now after years and months and weeks of being broken. You need to be able to heal properly. It's time to come clean and be honest. There are many things within your life that have made lasting impressions on who you chose to be or what you chose to do for your survival even at the expense of others, even those you held dear to you. The process of living an honest life is not an easy one. It is easier to be deceptive, to use your pain as a weapon, or to do what you need to do to survive even if it means stepping on others in the process or not meeting the needs of those you've awoken to you. It is hard work to be in alignment, it is hard work to always take accountability, it is hard work to look at your shadow and truly acknowledge it, you know more than anyone."

interception: I'm getting the energy of the film "warrior" with tom hardy in where he plays a character named tommy who ends up having to fight his brother for a large reward in a wrestling championship. He was a marine in the military and has childhood trauma that shapes the way he presents himself to others and navigates in his interpersonal relationships and of course what his goals and purpose are in the film, I'm not going to spoil it for you but if this is your pile, I recommend you watch it. it's on Netflix. it also really does a good job of highlighting an aspect of ourselves that we carry in our spirits to marry ourselves to our trauma or particular factors of it to hide from troubling or conflicting emotions or circumstances. things that are "inherently" bad or negative in theory but can look "desirable" or "acceptable" to us because our motivation for accepting it happens to be a heavily skewed one.

" It's time you finally free yourself from your karma, from your vices, from your shadow, and from aspects of yourself or your life that threaten to keep you stuck or stagnant. You can't take with you all of these things into the new year, into the new world, into your new life. The devil is in the details and he has done nothing but hold onto your ankle this entire time. It is your responsibility to make the changes that you've been asking for or craving. You may fear loss or the reality of the damage you've caused, the opportunities you've put yourself in the position to lose. You will sit with yourself, you will look at yourself in the mirror or you will suffer and continue to do so under the hand of your own decisions. What you are owed in compensation for a hard life cannot be received if you cannot put yourself in the position to receive them. There's a need in life for personal given grace as well as accountability for the part we play in events and circumstances that take place in our lives, take time to self reflect, forgive yourself, show yourself grace and in turn find the courage to communicate with those you've wrong and/or begin your journey forwards.

In our lives, the consequence we bare the burden of however heavy the weight is never the full and eternal end there is always something after. You've proven yourself to be resilient, to be a force. Use your strengths and allow them to will you forward into the next chapter of your life. Someone significant in your past could've heavily admired you or seen in you things you could not see in yourself as they were able to sense higher beings in others however troubled their karma was. The love they had for you is the love you are about to receive from yourself. The things they saw in you that you could not see you are preparing to embody in full. Ace of pentacles upright for you here signifying abundance coming to you when you are able to open yourself up to receive it all. remain committed to your cause."

-

III.

"You're seeking out personal closure or looking for solutions to an issue that you don't have on end. Don't make the mistake of running from completion or leaving doors ajar because it is difficult to close them shut you know what you need to do. You need to make the proper investments for your life, you need to work for your improvement or to receive the life you have felt you were entitled to all along but the mistake you've made along the way all this time is attempting to take short cuts and be strategic, deceptive or ingenuine in your method to try and deceive. You are used to putting on a mask or trying on costumes to appeal what others desire from you so you can receive the result you prefer from them, their approval, their support, their validation. Your biggest enemy is the closet full of masks you've accumulated they work against you, they push people away, they scare people of value, and they mislead as you've asked them to. Your life and it's events however unfortunate or difficult have existed to serve you a purpose and put you on your righteous path forward in alignment with your highest self and the life they live but instead you've sharpened it and allowed it to be used as a weapon against others and against yourself.

put your strengths and your adaptability where it's needed and not into being a sheep in wolves clothing or traveling through the night in such a way in which you won't be seen. Abundance will come for you and doors will open up for you where you set your intention and where you are unwaveringly honest and true. Reflect on your choices, your habits, and your behaviors in order to decide what needs to be changed and what needs to be improved and do it honestly this time and set the intention to change it not make another mask of it and store it away for another time. It is not your place to control the way everyone looks at you and how you are perceived or if they are willing to give to you or not. You control or manipulate what does not belong to you from places of fear you store deep within you and it is time to heal and ready yourself to move forward and leave a karmic version of yourself behind. Pack up the things you need to bring with you and be rid of the rest. Do not be resistant to change you must move."

baeeeee advice on crushes? school is coming up and i know there’s bound to be one fine man in class 👩🏽‍💻

ADVICE ON CRUSHES THAT ONLY CUPID WUOLD KNOW / HOW TO WIN YOUR CRUSH’S HEART

Hi gorgeous, how lovely! It's been a while since I gave actual love advice that does not regard my besties boyfriend ahaha, so you want a fine man? I got you.

୨୧ signature fragrances and pheromones ୨୧

I love fragrances, and do a lot of research regarding them, I found out about pheromones and I suggest you to try them out, words on the street some people swear that they work(some don’t), you can find them on etsy, I always suggest to take a look at the reviews!

Make sure to always smell in a certain way or generally to smell good, avoid overpowering smells, go for re-applicable or lighter smells, for this is suggest layering or using just a body mist, seeming like an hygenical person makes people gravitate towards you more, also idk why but I always get stuck on feminine scents

୨୧ take care of your hair ୨୧

I feel like this is really important, try to play around with hairstyles or to have a signature one, here's why they both benefit you:

if you switch up hairstyles you keep it fresh, and you can attract curiosity and you knind of understand what looks good on you and you can be more fluid which attracts more people

if you keep a signature hairstyle you're more recognizable, do it enogh to get associated to it, it adds an it factor!

୨୧ Create a signature style ୨୧

I suggest you to check my “how to be pretty when you’re feeling lazy” guide

Now why is having a signature style at school so important? You’re just more recognizable! It’s easier also to stand out in an environment where everyone wears grey sweatpants(looking like they totally gave up on themself😭) and hoodies with air 1

୨୧ Partecipate in class ୨୧

Don’t lose focus on your studies, show that you’re hardworking and smart! Also it’s easier to focus on romance when you know you’re grades are in place, it feels less stressful and you might get approached easily for when it comes to study help or maybe you can find yourself a smart nerdy handsome man that wants to go on study dates with you!

୨୧ Have a signature space ୨୧

Have a spot where people can find you or that they associate with you, you might as well not be there everyday, but be consistent, when you do this you might notice people are going and try to get that place, that’s because it’s an easy way to be notice, “who’s that girl that always sit/eat/hangouts there?”

Now this are the tips that come in my mind! Also a really important one is to improve your communication skills, it will be helpful! And remember focus first on yourself, then on men, that’s all gorg💕

xoxo

Understanding the Love Line in the Destiny Matrix Chart

What is the Love/Relationship Line in Destiny Matrix Chart?

The portion of the chart that deals with your love life as indicated in the image above is known as the love/relationship line in your personal destiny matrix chart. The numbers present in love line can give us insights in our love and relationship life and reveal a few characteristics about our partner as well.

The First Number in Your Love Line in Destiny Matrix Chart

The first number in the love/relationship line gives us insights on what you will be going through or how would you feel when they (your partner) will enter in your life (either live-in or marriage). This energy generally won’t have a major impact until and unless you guys are living together. As per my knowledge and experience, this energy will have it’s impact mostly after a few months of marriage or after moving in for few months with your partner.

The Second Number in Your Love Line in Destiny Matrix Chart

The second number in your love/relationship line can tell you about how you or others will perceive them (your partner) in general. In my case, I have number 19 in the middle in my love line in the chart and what that means for me is that my partner can be a source of inspiration for me and others in general. Since, the number 19 corresponds to “The Sun” card in Tarot, which signifies success, happiness & vitality. Therefore, your partner will radiate these properties in themselves as well.

The Third Number in Your Love Line in Destiny Matrix Chart

The third number in your love/relationship line indicates the various money lessons your partner might teach you in this lifetime. Since this number is also a part of your career/money line, these lessons will help you with your career/money as well.

Prompt 11 - Divination

@wolfstarmicrofic October 11, word count 454

Why had he taken Divination?! It was the most boring class! Remus had it right. Care of Magical Creatures was outside. He could just make out the class from the window. Remus had said they were studying Nifflers. NIfflers! Remus was having a great time, and they were staring at Peter’s sweaty palm. 

The next hour dragged, and Sirius let off a dung bomb just to get out of the class ten minutes early. If he ran and used a few secret shortcuts, he’d make it down to the entrance hall just as Remus came back inside. 

He’d just bounded down the final set of stairs when his name was shouted across the stone hall. 

“Sirius Black, come here!” Professor McGonagall was not happy. He looked longingly at the entrance door, where any second now Remus would be coming through, and walked over to the head of his house. 

“Yes, Professor?” He asked. 

“Why had Professor Foxwood's class ended early?” She asked him sternly. He winced, she knew exactly what had happened. “Do you enjoy that class? Correct me if I’m wrong, but I never pegged you for one to sit silently and stare into a crystal ball.” Sirius sighed, she saw right through him. 

“Yes, Professor— I mean no, I don’t particularly enjoy it.”

“You know it isn’t too late for you to change electives. You are incredibly intelligent, and I am certain you could easily catch up if you put your mind to it,” Sirius was shocked. He hadn’t even thought about changing it, he just accepted that for two hours a week for the next three years, he’d be mind-numbingly bored. 

“I’d really like that actually,” He grinned at her. 

“Any idea what subject you’d prefer?” The huge entrance door creaked open, and Remus’s class entered the castle, chatting excitedly about their lesson. Remus spotted him and waved, and Sirius automatically waved back. He turned back to his professor.

“Care of Magical Creatures,” He told her. She nodded approvingly. 

“Excellent choice, Mr Black. I shall make sure your professors are alerted.” 

“Professor!!!” James and Peter came hurrying over. 

“I suppose you want to swap to Care of Magical Creatures too?” A small smile twitched at the corner of her mouth. James and Peter nodded profusely. “Very well,” She sighed and strode away from them into the Great Hall. 

“What was all that about?” Remus asked once he got to them. 

“We, my dear Moony, will be joining you in Care of Magical Creatures,” Sirius beamed at them. Remus groaned. “Don’t worry Moony, we’ll behave,”

“Mostly,” James snickered. Sirius linked Remus’s arm and led him into the Great Hall for lunch, actually excited to find out how Remus’s Niffler lesson had gone.

Tarot Observations

This is now a series. I really enjoy dissecting card meanings on my own. I hope y'all find these useful as well.

4 of Swords: bring stability to your mind

4 of Wands: stability in your community

4 of Cups: discontent in your stability

4 of Pentacles: clinging to your stability

The commonalities to this one is clear.

Stability

The suits represent the numbers reaction to their stability, accomplishment and luck. They also touch on how well you have contemplated these exploits.

The wands are grateful but not to attached. The cups are ungrateful for the peace they have. Pentacles are too grateful and unwilling to give up what they earned for more and finally the swords are regretful. Swords are the most nuisanced in this case because even though they have accomplished heart break, it isn't ever fun.

The Power of Retrograde Planets

Services

Testimonials

There tends to be a very negative or twisted idea of how retrograde planets function in a natal chart or even in transits along with the meaning behind it. Most tend to describe it as if it was debilitating or as if the planet was unable to excel due to this condition, which isn't the case at all.

In Vedic astrology, these planets are described as powerful because they are able to affect not just the house where they are sitting but also the one behind it. You have to imagine it as if the planet is looking back out of curiosity or desire to do so.

Example: Venus rx in the 5th house affects that house AND the 4th house + any planet that sits in there as well. This means that an extra layer of complexity is added on how this planet functions in a chart and the effects that it gives as well.

It is also said, per KRS, that retrograde planets come with a lot karma or pending actions that must be resolved from a previous life. This topics will vary depending on each planet, and also the conjunction it might form.

If Venus is retrograde, then you have unresolved karma with a certain woman or women in general (specially if Mercury is conjunct it). It can also be related to your romantic relationships, regardless if it was a spouse or not. Business partners and contracts as well that could have been left unfinished.

If Mercury is retrograde, you will feel as if most of your karma revolves around your aunts, uncles, and/or friends. There might have been unfinished conversations, things you couldn't say out loud or share with others that are now pushing you to be more outspoken in this lifetime.

If Mars is retrograde, then there's always situations occuring related to your brother/s (specifically the youngest one), husband (if you're interested in men), to your body, or even land. It means that part of your karma is towards those topics, perhaps in a past life you wanted to have an ideal health/body, marry someone in specific, or made a promise towards a brother and didn't get to fulfil it.

If Jupiter is retrograde, then there was an unfinished desire from a previous lifetime. It might also be unfinished business with a mentor, guru, teacher. As simple as randomly feeling like you have to be extra nice, kind, or giving towards those individuals in this lifetime but unsure of the reasoning behind it.

If Saturn is retrograde, then you have unfinished work in regards to your career, profession, elders, or even karma that is from other life times and are completely unrelated to your current life. Perhaps you didn't get the job you truly wanted, didn't have good relations with elders, or any other karma that was left unresolved.

Also, if Sun/Moon are conjunct Rahu/Ketu or any other planet that is retrograde then they might also display pending karma related to the themes of the luminaries.

After having a deeper understanding of the themes in our lives that we have to deal with regardless of how we feel about it, then we understand the ways in which we can resolve anything that holds us back from other lifetimes.

Think about the situations that are related to those planets, and how you have dealt with them in the past and present. Do you feel a sense of completion, neutrality or peace about them? Or are these matters that still confuse, overwhelm, or drain you?

Journal in detail the answer to these questions and consciously make the decision to move differently afterwards. Accept that you will have to deal with certain matters, be more intentional on how you respond to them, and choose the resolutions that bring a sense of calmness.

Stop waiting around to be picked and hoping for someone to validate you and your goals. Right now, you are already worthy and you don’t need to wait for others to recognize it. Most people only feel good enough when they are chosen by others. Never give anyone the power to determine your worth or tell you what you can or cannot do.

You must to believe in yourself even if no one recognizes it yet. Move as if you already attain your success. Embody that energy now.

Promote yourself. Love yourself. Motivate yourself. Believe in your it factor. You’ve always been that girl/guy. You’ve always had the talent. Stop waiting around for others to pick you. Choose yourself.

How to NOT read tarot pacs :

Do not constantly check up on your person's "current feelings" you can do it like once or twice a month, but almost everyday is a big no! Trust me.

Do not peek into someone's private life especially people who do not know you, like celebrities, crushes etc.

Do not think that whatever a reading says is FIXED and you can't do anything about it. Your life is in your control, tarot just reads your current energy and it can change the moment you decide.

Do not consider every other crush of yours, a twinflame or a soulmate. Give yourself and them a while, don't categorize love or attraction until you both are really close and in a relationship of some kind.

Mindlessly scrolling into 50-60 pacs a day is also a big NO!

Feel free to add more <3

Thanks for reading, stay safe 🙏 🧿
