Here’s the March Tarot Challenge! No need to do something everyday. Do as much or as little as you like.
Shuffle + Search - is a technique where you shuffle, turn the deck over, and look for a specific card. Then you read the cards on either side of it as significant in some way. Can be read intuitively.
Pull Out + Draw - remove the card in question, shuffle, then pull 3 cards. Can be read intuitively.
Card Study - pull out the card and jot down notes of your observations, what it reminds you of, or journal on it generally.
Feel free to download the bingo card, cross things off, and upload it so you can show off what you did at the end of the month. Hit me up with any questions and I hope you enjoy!

Future Career Pick A Card
Directions: Take 3 Mindful Breaths and Pick The Work Set-Up That Attracts You The Most!
Disclaimer: This is a general reading. It may not resonate for everyone and that's okay! If you are having trouble choosing a pile, take a minute to relax and then try again.
Pile One:
What Career Path Is Pile One Looking To Go Into?
Judgment, 9 of Cups, 4 of Swords
I feel like this is my Legal Studies, Politics, and Healthcare Pile. A lot of you are looking to go into Law or careers where you feel as though you are doing the right thing. You may want to go into careers where you are representing people or being a voice of reason for someone. You all seem to be problem solvers or at least interested in conflict-resolution based careers. Those of you who chose this pile are probably all or nothing people. I don't think a lot of you have any Plan B's or C's. You probably decided very early on what you want to be or do and that's what your heart is set on. You are looking for a career that has everything that you want. A career that fits your wants and needs and is a source of fulfillment for you is ideal Pile One.
These Are Some Careers I See You All Looking To Go Into/Be: Lawyers, Judges, Administration, Healthcare (Doctor or Nurse, a Veterinarian as well), Legal Work, Therapist (Mental Health, Massage, Etc.), Yoga or Meditation Instructor? For some of you, I see jobs where you are the Middle Man like for example a Hiring Recruiter.
What Career Path Is Best For Pile One?
8 of Cups Rx, The High Priestess, Strength
Pile One, you need to go into a career path that you know you won't walk away from. A career path that is sustainable for YOU. Regardless of the pay or whatever other constraints there may be, you need to find a job that satisfies your soul and not just your financial or social needs. I said before how I think that you all may enjoy conflict-resolution careers. It would be best for you all to find a career from which you can learn from or solve problems within. You would likely excel in careers that involve caring for someone or something in some way, shape, or form.
These Are Some Careers I Think You Would Excel In: Healthcare (Doctor, Nurse, Vet, Psychiatrist, Psychologist) Detective Work, Professor or Teacher, Guru, Counselor, Medium, Psychic, Astrologer, Tarot Reader.
Significators: French, Frenchie, or French Tips, Aries, Spring Months (March, April, May), 20+, Dyed Hair, "Not Yet", 444, Libra, 7th House Placements (Specifically Mercury and Sun), Strong Pisces, 12th House Sun or Moon, Moon and Neptune Dominant, Leo or 5th House Placements.
Pile Two: (This Pile was very similar to Pile One. If you felt drawn to that Pile go and give it a read and see if it resonates!)
What Career Path Is Pile Two Looking To Go Into?
5 of Swords Rx, The Star, The Wheel Of Fortune
The first thing I saw and heard was "Giving Back". This is my Humanitarian pile. A lot of you are likely studying or wanting to study Humanitarian Studies. You likely find yourself leaning towards careers or social endeavors that benefit not only yourself but the rest of the world as well. Your ultimate goal in a career is overcoming challenges, compromising or ending a conflict of some sort. You all want to change the world and give the up and coming generations inspiration and hope for a better world to live in. You want renewal. A fresh start.
These Are Some Careers I See You All Looking To Go Into/Be: Public Service, Tech and IT Jobs, Motivational Speakers or Anything To Do With Public Speaking, Freelancers or Non Contract Workers, Nonprofit Organization Workers, Health and Safety Professionals, Human Rights Activists, Scientists, Researchers, Entrepreneurs, Advocates, Social Workers.
What Career Path Is Best For Pile Two?
The Emperor, 4 of Swords Rx, Ace of Wands
Pile Two, you need to go into a career path where you have the opportunity to lead. A career path that offers you stability and structure. A career path that is practical and logical according to your own needs. All jobs will make you feel stress, but I would advise you to enter a career that provides you with the sanctuary you need to rest and recuperate. I feel like those of you who chose this pile get tired or burnt out pretty quick? Extroverts with low social betteries? It would do you well to enter into careers that you see yourself building a future off of. Additionally, for some of you I think jobs that are more hands on and interactive would be better for you. Careers that provide you with passion, action, and excitement!
These Are Some Careers and Career Titles I Think You Would Excel At: Self Employment, CEO's or Bosses, Government Based Careers, Entrepreneurs, Engineers, Military, Managers, Administration, Manual Labor, Tech and IT Jobs, Freelancing, Careers That Allow You To Travel, Sports or Athletics. This Pile has a VERY strong Masculine Energy. A lot of you may find yourselves in Male Dominated Career Paths, and you may have a lot of Masculine Energy in your Natal Charts as well.
Significators: Aries, Leo, Aquarius, Libra, Spanish, 10th House Mercury, 10th House Uranus, Chart Ruler in 11th House, Air and Fire Dominants, Mars in 1st or 10th, Libra Mercury, Sun-Mars and Sun-Saturn Aspects, 555, Aquarius Midheaven and DSC, Uranus Dominant.
Pile Three:
What Career Path Is Pile Three Looking To Go Into?
Queen of Wands, Queen of Cups, Page of Cups Rx
Creative Workers. A lot of you who chose this pile may have struggles or are currently struggling with finding the career path that suits you. You WANT to do a certain career, but you may think that you NEED to do another career because the career you dream of is unrealistic or out of reach or maybe just doesn't fall into your life plans or budget. You are likely searching for a career that you have an emotional connection to. Although money is important to you, you're not really concerned too much about monetary matters, because you know that you can't be happy in a career that doesn't speak to you. You want a career that you get excited about being able to do, a career that allows you to feel as though you are in control of your own life. A lot of you want to work with kids and young people, I can tell.
These Are Some Careers I See You All Looking To Go Into/Be: Elementary School Teachers, Leaders of Some Kind, Child Counselors, Midwives, Nannies, Children's Book Authors, Music Teachers, Singers, Poets, Interior Design, Home Business (Maybe a Daycare), Family Therapist, Realtor or Real Estate. In contrast to Pile Two, there is a lot of Feminine Energy in this pile. You all may find yourselves in Female Dominated career paths and you may have an abundance of Feminine Energy in your chart.
What Career Path Is Best For Pile Three?
King of Swords, The Chariot, Justice
Pile Three, I would advise you all to go into career paths where you have structure and routine. A lot of you who chose this pile have very strong morals and values with all of this watery energy here. You are kind and empathetic but you are also logical and firm. You would do well in a position of authority, where you are allowed to demonstrate and enforce self-discipline and hardwork. You will likely be known for your candor and integrity in your careers pile three. You value honesty and fairness, and it will show regardless of what path you choose. You would thrive in careers that allow you to teach others about the wonders of the World, whatever that may mean to you.
These Are Some Careers and Career Titles I Think You Would Excel At: Counselors, Networking, Mediators, Influencers, Authors, Motivational Speakers, Auditors, Elementary School Teachers, Family Therapists, Behavior Technicians, Children's' Book Authors, Interior Design, Home Businesses, Real Estate.
Significators: "Soon", Cancer, Sagittarius, Gemini, 20+, Fire, Musician, 10th House Sun or Moon, 1st House Moon, Mercury in 9th House, 4th House Stellium, Water Dominant, Pisces Moon, Cancer Midheaven, Libra, Saturnians.

Blog Event: TWST Year IV Anniversary – I've been Dreaming...
🎊 HAPPY YEAR 4 OF TWST!! 🎊
For the first anniversary, we had Magic Mystery Letters!
For the second anniversary, we had Twisted Tarot!
For the third anniversary, we had Topsy Turvy Days!
Well… It’s that time of year again, fellas 😎
Like the previous years, this is a blog event and a self-imposed writing challenge I do around February and/or March to celebrate TWST JP’s launch day (the 18th of March). Starting tomorrow, there will be something posted every day to count down to the 18th (JST)!
The prompts for 2024 will center around the titles granted to players who have 10 or more of a particular character's cards. These will purposefully be written in a somewhat vague and/or fantastical manner to give off the feeling of "being in their dream" as a homage to book 7's ideas and themes. The Overblot boys in particular will lean heavily into the “dream” theme. You’ll see what I mean soon ;)
This will run concurrent with another blog event that was announced earlier (Two Ravens at the Writing Desk).
***PLEASE NOTE: The pieces written for these prompts will follow the canon of the main story, INCLUDING BOOK 7. There WILL be major spoilers, which will be tagged when appropriate.***

On New Year’s Eve, during a house party at her home in Richmond, Virginia, Lucy Dacus had her fortune told. She thought why not. On a personal level, 2017 had been a wretched year – a steady conveyor belt delivering the 22-year-old bad news.
“This girl, who I didn’t even know, came to the party and gave me this year-long reading,” she explains. “Month-by-month it was so specific. So far, it’s kind of lined up.”
In the past Dacus has been sceptical about the prophetic powers of the tarot card deck, and was taught that the pentacles (coins) were a symbol of Satan. “It’s hard to look to the future and see nothing, to know nothing,” she muses. “I still don’t know what’s going to happen, but having something to have your mind bounce off is nice. That’s why I like tarot. It gives you something to reflect on.”
It’s all part of a fresh way of thinking for Dacus, a new “mood of just trying to be open to new things.” For so many reasons the past year has been one Lucy Dacus is keen to put behind her. “I guess I could just list things,” she says laughing, but not joking. To begin, some of her close family suffered health problems, compounded by her own serious issues including a bout of appendicitis that forced her to have surgery. She was attempting to buy a house for the first time, a process that proved “trying”. Three of her tours got cancelled.
“It was a little bit miserable,” says Dacus, sitting in an east London cafe. “Towards the end of the year, I just had to laugh… Like, come on!”
Interwoven with these practical challenges she was having to navigate something much more troubling. “I got out of a relationship in 2016, which I was waking up from in 2017 – realising that it was abusive,” she begins. “Letting myself say that, it took many months to come out of the numbness… to stop being brainwashed. So, that’s all been a growth. It’s ended up being positive, but it is difficult wondering how I let that be a part of my life for so long.”
Deepening the ordeal, still, this year of personal upheaval was set to the backdrop of Trump’s first 12 months in office. A vociferous supporter of Bernie Sanders through the 2016 election campaign, Dacus is a passionate advocate for equal rights, attending marches and collecting donations for community organisations at her shows. To have Trump sat in the White House representing her country, she says, felt – feels – “horrible”. “It’s just absurd and I feel like I’m in an alternate universe,” she says. “It’s really hard maintaining hope.
“Coming to Europe I’m embarrassed to be an American sometimes, but then I just have to hope that people know that I am not part of Trump. I’ve thought about wearing shirts at the airport – just like ‘not my president’. In little ways I just want to assert that opinion.”
And then there were the disturbing revelations surrounding Harvey Weinstein (and subsequently many other men) revealed in Autumn 2017, that opened out into a global conversation around the abuse and harassment of women.
“It’s been nice coming out of that really terrible relationship during a time when women are speaking up more. It feels like I’m allowed to say these things now,” says Dacus, crediting the #MeToo movement. “All these horrible, heartbreaking stories of women being mistreated are at the forefront but the solace that people are doing what they need in order to find closure and help each other prevent that happening ever again. For one of the first times I’ve been noticing male friends of mine actually examining their past behaviours.”
While there are some early shoots of positivity, the truth is, the culmination of all of these factors left the songwriter dealing with anxiety for the first time. “2017 was a new state of mind for me – and not really in the best way.”
Lucy Dacus was raised in Richmond, Virginia, about two hours south of Washington D.C. on the east coast. It’s a place sometimes described as “the biggest small town left in America.” The family home was in the rural suburbs and she travelled into the city to go to high school. “It’s hard to tell you in one answer how my whole childhood was,” she says. “It’s a large variety of things. Overall, I’m coming out with my thumbs up.”
In her household music was always there. Her mother is a piano teacher, as was her grandmother. Picking up songwriting was never a big deal, like a second language that was spoken around the house. “That’s how music is – like, it’s just part of my life,” she recalls.
Yet the dream of being a professional artist seemed almost so unattainable that it was invisible. In her late teens, Dacus went to college to study film but dropped out, primarily because she’d end up saddled with huge debt. “That, paired with the feeling of being misunderstood in my programme,” she confirms. “I just didn’t have a lot of like minds in my classes.”
That prompted a move back to Virginia where she took a job in a photography lab developing kids’ cheesy school photos. She’d been writing songs in her spare time and gathered nine of the 30-or-so she had together when her friend Jacob Blizard (now her touring guitarist) asked her to record them for his school project. Her 2016 debut album, ‘No Burden’, was made in one day in Nashville. Blizard passed school, and that album received rave reviews. NPR called it “vulnerable”, while Pitchfork said it was an “uncommonly warm indie rock record”. As a result, 20 different record labels reportedly scrabbled to sign Dacus. She settled on Matador, and began to prepare for what should have been a joyful 2017.
The first time Dacus remembers assuming the role of historian she was seven or eight-years-old. She was writing in her journal – and she smiles now recalling her first entry. It complained about how the babysitter spent the whole evening on the phone to her boyfriend. “There’s a point where I realise I’m journaling and so I stop and go, ‘I should probably introduce myself… I’m Lucy’” she laughs, remembering it clearly. “It’s really cute.”
More than a dozen notebooks, and many years later, she still keeps a diary now. Sometimes she writes every day, other times, weeks go by and then she fills 20 pages. Occasionally she flicks open an old one to either “laugh or cringe” at her younger self.
‘Historian’, then, isn’t just the title of her latest album, but also the way she thinks of herself. A chronicler, of her own experiences, but also those around her. Those pages aren’t just a document of a growing maturity, but also a therapeutic habit that helps make sense of many life events, including that recent damaging relationship. “Seeing that it had been broken for the whole time but that I was just oblivious to it, [reading about] it helps to accept that things didn’t change,” she says. “I just saw it for what it was finally, and so perspective is good.”
Those handwritten journals are sacred, which is why, when her tenth one was stolen on tour a few years ago along with a bag of possessions, it was the notebook she replaced first.
The album itself is a recent history – a narrative burrowing through those myriad dark times. Dacus knew that she wanted it to form a complete story, and wrote the track list before some of the songs. “It’s an arc” she says, that begins in a “relatable place” with the only break-up song she’s ever written (‘Night Shift’) that subsequently delves “deeper into darkness.”
“Then the subject matter gets a little more intense,” she tells me, “– going through identity crises, or loss of home, or loss of faith, loss of a loved one, loss of your life. I feel like I’m pulling people into an uncomfortable space.” She pauses. “There’s then a change where hopefully I’m turning on a light and saying, ‘Yes, all of that exists, but it’s a foil to joy.’”
It is an extraordinary piece of work. Musically it’s a colossal step up, reminiscent of recent albums by Mitski (‘Puberty 2’), Angel Olsen (‘My Woman’) and labelmate Julien Baker (‘Turn out the Lights’). The subject matter is heavy, but it’s never a dreary listen. In fact, it’s charming, funny even – like a brave smile emerging through a curtain of tears. And Dacus has a gift for lyric writing; like the eloquent way she pays tribute to the humility shown by her dying grandmother on ‘Pillar of Truth’. From first to final note it’s evocative and powerful. “The first time I tasted somebody else’s spit I had a coughing fit,” goes the LP’s opening line in ‘Night Shift’. “If past you were to meet future me,” she sings on the final line of the closing title track, “would you be holding me now?”
It’s heartening to hear that the contents of Dacus’ NYE tarot reading were largely positive. The forecast noted that she should enjoy the proceeds of her hard work, but that “something horrible happens in the summer, then there’s kind of a rebirth, growing back into, like, life in an even more knowledgeable and peace-oriented way.” Dacus is about to leave, and picks up a bag of books she’s been keeping underneath the cafe table.
“It could be wrong,” she says. “I’m not superstitious. I’m taking it in. When that does happen I hope I can take my own advice – let it be what it is, and look past it eventually

Catherine energy 3/02/2023 tarot & oracle
With the oracle of energies, we start with the patience card, we are talking about winter 2024 at the end of March. We're talking about strategy here (Catherine's energy is not really present, it's more around her) something is closed and locked. We talk a lot about hostility (internet?) I have the 3rd chakra open archangechamuel = emotion of desire, vital energy, it is immersed in an energy of management of internal and external emotions. We talk about a storm coming, something is coming to an end, we talk about the card of deception, lies, hidden money. We also have the 1st chakra here with Michel, action, security…. we're talking about the community = the people around her have created a safe place for her! It was a victory for them! Catherine wants to get out of there (from her psychological state?) There is something broken inside her!!! She tries to hold on to certain things that make her smile.
with Greek mythology: I have the map of Eos and Apollo, interesting I read like Catherine and William both have the light but each takes a direction. We're talking about vulnerability here, we're talking about a karmic lesson like Icarus who was emotionally violent! We are talking about a new challenge in their relationship between husband and wife. They are embarking on a new path of transformation. We talk about communication and protection. Hygeia = health is reversed. Catherine is still ill. We are hesitant about a health protocol. The drawing ends with Charon = the transition. It is as if Catherine had previously suffered the dark night of the soul.
with tarot cards: We start with the 3 of Wands + Death + 9 of Cups = Catherine has the desire to be reborn emotionally, to rediscover her joy of living even if she is going through a difficult moment with the reversed strength card. But she comes as Empress. There is a king of denarius who is there, he hopes that things will become lighter again. There are discussions about a project, we learned more (this passage is quite complicated to understand)
we are talking about a slanderous woman here, meghan thinks that the press is too kind to Catherine and William?
They found things of her (because above we talk about disgusting things that were discovered!!!!)
OK, I have Charles here and his thoughts, he is thinking about certain things and how to recover?!
There is a king of wands who has a lot of energy around them (maybe an advisor?!) We talk about something that comes up and then accepts help from Catherine.

Tuesday, March 12, 2024 Good morning! Today is about Hope, Renewal, and Opportunity Tarot of the Day: The Star
The Star suggests a period of spiritual tranquility, and happiness. This is a time when you are likely to feel all your needs - spiritual and material - are being met; an ideal time to move on from past hardships, struggles, and challenges and embrace renewal. Be open to new opportunities. New projects, new avenues for income, or even new employment can soon be yours.
Your positive thinking and inspiration make now, the perfect time to do so in a specific way. Make a list of the changes you would like to make in your life. Dream big - you can accomplish anything you set out to do now.
💚 At work, this is a time when you can expect new opportunities to appear so, when opportunity knocks, be prepared to answer – especially if you’re unhappy with your current position.
💙 If you’re looking for love, this is an excellent time to meet someone new so join a group (online) that caters to a passion of yours and start meeting people. 💙If you're already committed, your relationship may move to new, higher, and more fulfilling levels.
🧡 Whether in a general, or a specific way, The Star is a light in the darkness. It illuminates the path creating a unique opportunity to see where you were, where you are, and where you have been brave enough to choose to go. It shows you that you have chosen the right path and you have inspired others in doing so. Breathe deeply and accept serenity. Gun a-màireach (until tomorrow), Lovelies Peace out

[Tarot Challenge] March Tarot Challenge
Hello my dear followers, mutuals, soul family members and other tarot enthusiasts!
I would love to interact with you guys more in a more active way and what could be better than a challenge?
What is the Monthly Tarot Challenge?
Simply put - Each month I’ll come up with a prompt for a tarot reading to be done that month. I would like those of you who have a tarot deck of their own, regardless of your level of experience or skill, to reblog the Challenge post, adding the result of the prompted reading. Or you can make a separate post with appropriate tags and ideally tagging me so I can easily find it. This way we can all try out of the box types of readings, no prejudice, no judgement, just good fun and possibly insight and enlightenment. What do you think? Shall we go for it? Let’s start with the March Tarot Challenge!
March Tarot Prompt
Deck Interview!
What is your general vibe?
What kind of readings suit you best?
What do you think about me as a tarot reader?
How can we best collaborate?
Any message you have for me right now.
You might remember I did this exact interview with my Tarot of Casanova Deck.
Pick a deck of yours and ask it the questions above, pull the cards, record the outcome and share it with us here!
It doesn’t matter whether you interview a new deck or a deck you have been using for years.
It doesn’t matter whether you are an advanced tarot reader or you have just begun with cartomancy.
Few lines or keywords are enough as a result, though I hope you can write more as this is your personal conversation with your deck, possibly a tool you’re gonna be using for years to come.
And because my interview with Tarot of Casanova went so well, here is my entry for this month’s challenge.
The Slavic Legends Tarot
Deck Interview!
What is your general vibe? - Ace of Pentacles
This deck is a seed of abundance and pleasure. It goes to the roots of a matter, making each reading blossoming with wisdom. It’s both vastly knowledgeable but also sort of humble and down-to-Earth. It might not use flashy imagery but its messages go deep and reveal the truth. This deck represents the beauty and genius of a common sense which might be sometimes neglected by tarot readers. The Slavic Legends Tarot has the potential to truly expand its significance and grow onto the tarot reader, aka me.
What kind of readings suit you best? - II The High Priestess, IX The Hermit
This deck loves any readings seeking wisdom and revealing what’s hidden. It’s likely to poke my subconscious mind, forgotten memories, even dreams. This deck can explain it all, bringing light of wisdom to the darkness, pulling the information needed from the bushes, guiding the way and installing clarite where chaos used to be. This deck loves meaningful readings, yet those with a direct impact on the querent's everyday life. It’s not a deck to predict the future, it’s a deck to help the querent create their future and build on wisdom and knowledge.
What do you think about me as a tarot reader? - 7 of Wands
The Slavic Legends Tarot deck sees me as a resilient tarot reader, the one who will often take more than enough onto themselves, trying to do all the work and becoming even more motivated by any kind of opposition. Hard-headed is the world. I don’t back up when the reading sounds unpleasant, I dig deep and carry the information with dignity and over the hills. Maybe my readings aren’t cute and pretty but they hit the right spots.
How can we best collaborate? - XVIII The Moon, XI The Justice
Aww the Moon lady has two dogs just like me! Haha, so sweet! Anyway, we already know each other for a while with this deck. We mostly work very intuitively. This is the deck I can understand very well even when it comes with no booklet. We have a certain mental connection. See the crescent moon glowing at the lady’s head? That’s the clarity of intention. Whatever I ask this deck, it comes with a clear information and message. I respect this deck greatly and it respects me in return, the balance is constantly present. As long as we can maintain a harmonious relationship, this deck is likely to bring plenty of wisdom and joy into my life.
Any message you have for me right now. - 2 of Wands
The vast horizons are awaiting me and my exploring. There’s still so much to learn and so much to experience. I should never stop wondering, craving, and being curious. Life can become an adventure, shall I decide to take the leap and start the journey. And I don’t need to be afraid as I’m going to be guided by a map and protected.
Thank you for participating in the challenge!!
I'm always grateful for any feedback.

Surviving Saturn in Pisces 🪐- Tips'n all!
Saturn has been dignified in the signs of Capricorn and Aquarius for the last 6 years. This year, it will end its domiciled reign this March, entering the sign of Pisces. Here are some tips to survive Saturn, in the dreamy sign of Pisces.
Pisces, the sign that rules over dreams, the subconscious mind, creative visions, deep sleep, escapism, intuitive/psychic abilities, latent talents, and art, will host the planet of sobriety, maturity, limitation, discipline, responsibility and commitment, Saturn.
How will this manifest?
Saturn will put restrictions on activities or dynamics that are related to Piscean themes. Relying on intuition or psychic visions will be harder. Sleeping will also be challenging, and so is the ability to remember one's dream. Escaping reality will prove to be difficult; alcohol or numbing substance overconsumption will have serious repercussions. Artistic content creators and creatives might have 'Writer's block'. Also, our ability to practice spirituality and solitude might not go as smoothly as it was.
Why is Saturn like this?!
See, Saturn wants you to commit to things for the long haul. It gives you challenges, so you make the right adjustments, that are needed to sustain such an activity (or a dynamic, or a connection), for long term. It achieves that, by taking the instant gratification factor -that Jupiter provides so generously- and constantly testing you, so you build the mental stamina and discipline to do that thing, for years...
How to survive Saturn in Pisces?
Practice spiritual hygiene; this is by far the most important one and it will get you through that rough Saturn in the Pisces period. Add discipline, practicality, and balance to your spiritual practice. Declutter, don't over-consume spiritual products, don't overdo or over-depend on divination practices (Tarot/Psychic readings)...etc. In short, be spiritual, but don't overdo it, and add discipline to your spirituality.
Practice more grounding. Saturn in Pisces will take away any delusional or rose-colored glass views we might have. Grounding activities might help with coping.
Limit your consumption of media, fashion, and trends. Pisces rules over 'Stardom', so during Saturn in Pisces, celebrities will show their true colors or might expose the harsh reality of the industry.
Limit your consumption of drugs, sedative herbs, psychedelics or alcohol. Overconsumption might lead to serious irreversible repercussions. Saturn wants you to cope, without the use of external sedatives, and want you to be responsible (Saturn) with drugs (Pisces).
Practice discipline in your sleep schedule. Saturn will give you a hard time falling asleep because it wants you to stop taking your sleep for granted and start taking it seriously. Set a timer to wind down, and a specific time that you go to bed, every day. In short, create a sustainable sleeping schedule.
I hope this helps! Also, feel free to ask me more about this topic!

Blog Event: TWST Year III Anniversary – Topsy Turvy Days
🎊 HAPPY YEAR 3 OF TWST!! 🎊
For the first anniversary, we had Magic Mystery Letters!
For the second anniversary, we had Twisted Tarot!
For the third anniversary, we have (drumroll please) Topsy Turvy Days!!
Like the previous years, this is a blog event and a self-imposed writing challenge I do around February/March to celebrate TWST JP’s launch date (March 18th 2020); I’m a little short on time this year, so there will only be 7 prompts total. Starting tomorrow, there will be something posted every day to count down to the 18th (JST)!
The second series of birthday cards, Union Birthday, asks each boy which dorm they would want to be sorted into if not their current one. I have taken their responses to this question and used them as prompts to write about how each boy would fare in their “new dorms for the day”; it focuses on the characters and how they adapt to their new environments and expectations placed on them in their choice of dorm.
***PLEASE NOTE: Topsy Turvy Days will follow the canon of the main story, as well as various vignettes (more specifically, the Union Birthday vignettes) and events. There WILL be spoilers for several of the characters’ backstories and other story events. Spoilers will be tagged as is appropriate.***
