#oracle deck can fall under tarot i guess idk

[lunapwrites]

This week, because I felt like treating myself, I picked up a new Oracle deck. The one I've been using up til now is a Goddess Oracle, and while I've found it very helpful during specific issues and it will absolutely still have a place in my practice, it is extremely gendered in its expression and so I needed something that spoke to the genderless cryptid in me. Sooo animals it is haha. Anyway, I worked it into my month at a glance practice as I finished up my work day today, and so far... I think we're vibing. Here's the whole mess.

I started by drawing the rune for the day: Hagalaz.

First, the fact that I am ending the month of June on the exact same rune I started it on is... telling. This month sucked! There was a lot going on, and very little of it was good. This rune represents chaos, destruction, transformation, etc... It means "hail" so... consider the damage that hail does. That's kinda where we're at here. But the important thing to remember here is that the storms are temporary, and you learn where not to park your car in the process. So I'm coming out of this month a little worse for wear, but we're learning.

Next, I drew my cards specifically with the intention of looking forward to the month of July: what am I coming in with, what are we going to encounter, and what am I leaving with?

NEAT.

So Four of Cups absolutely tracks. I am... not really in a good place at the moment? This whole chronic illness thing has been kicking my ass on a psychological level as well as physical, so... yeah, the depression card makes sense here lol. I'm coming into July with sad bitch energy.

King of Wands is an interesting play here. About half the time it shows up, it's representing my partner, and I think that's the case here - he's an island in the sea of awful. However, given the arguably negative aspect to this card's position, it's most likely also warning against setting unrealistic expectations for myself. Which... tracks.

This is supported by our good buddy Ten of Swords here in the future position, which... well, the good news is that the ten card is the "completion" card. There is a light at the end of the tunnel and The Horrors are going to be concluding. The bad news: I still have to finish experiencing The Horrors. Which... I guess I expected. This ain't gonna resolve itself in a day.

In short, July is also gonna suck, but... in a less depressing way? And it's probably going to look up in August. So that's... Good I guess lol.

So finally, I decided to check in with my new Oracle deck about what energy I should approach the coming month with. And the answer it gave me:

Keep finding happiness in the little things, and hold onto that light at the end of the tunnel. Don't let circumstances keep you down.

So... deep breaths. It's gonna suck. But remember to see the good, no matter how small.

kaylor reading under the cut

okay so first i asked if taylor and joe were dating for realsies and got the queen of cups reversed

which is a big no and is a card that reads manipulation to me normally, but under this circumstance i read it as a pr relationship which is technically manipulating the general population and her image. i forget the second card damn my terrible sense of foresight.

i asked if her and karlie were ever in love and got the 8 of wands which is literally the falling in love card so i mean — i asked if they’re together still and got the queen of swords which in this sense is taylor making calculated decisions (which didn’t answer my damn question but it made sense anyway)

i asked if josh was karlie’s baby’s father and got king of swords reversed so big no, then asked if austin was the baby’s father and got the 7 of cups reversed which is the correct choice (whereas upright it means many choices). i asked if this baby is taylor and karlie starting a family and got the 10 of cups which is pretty self explanatory good god (emotional fulfillment) and the 10 of wands reversed fell out with it so something is a huge huge burden on this relationship...

i asked what the burden is and got the tower reversed which is an inner revelation (not sure on whose part but i’m guessing taylor’s) and asked for clarity on it and got the 6 of wands which means... victory??? i didn’t understand so i asked for clarity and got the six of cups reversed and realized it was someone from her past that has negative emotions attached (hows this relate to the six of wands??? thinking about it i reframed victory as “trying to win” and furthermore “trying to win over”)

so when i got someone from her past i immediately thought dianna. i asked if dianna had anything to do with these burdens going on and got the wheel of fortune which is a huge yes? and also by chance... something totally happened by chance and now she’s involved... i got the fool rx which is my card for a risk that didn’t pay off, that can be interpreted in different ways with dianna. maybe the past relationship when she didn’t stay to take a chance o someone else and it didn’t pay off?

i asked WHY is she involved and got the world reversed which is unfinished business. 👀 going back to the fool and a risk that didn’t pay off, i think dianna (and maybe taylor??) felt like there wasn’t closure perhaps?? all i know is it says these two have unfinished business and it’s causing a strain on her and karlie.

anyways i kept flipping with that and got the 4 of swords which shows dianna finally moving into action for something. maybe waiting for thr right moment and now was it? (to be honest i have no idea any timeline for all this, i have a hard time with timelines or timing in tarot)

i asked one more time WHY is dianna involved bc at this point i’m like this has to be a joke and got the knight of swords which i read as ‘knight in shining armor’ (i feel like knight of cups suits that better but the sword is literally defending someone so it works fuck the court cards man)

and this was where i was like i need to stop bc my heart can’t take it rofl i truly don’t know if i can take this seriously but i’ve been so on the money with my mom’s readings (about her marriage) that it’s spooking me so!

i added my black mirror oracle deck into the mix to see what the shadow sides of these three players are and GOD DAMMIT

taylor: fragmentation (just go read the lyrics of mirrorball my god)

karlie: atonement (literally, for what? idk kushner stuff idk)

dianna: hiding your true self (this makes me think of her commitment issues and stuff, like it makes me think she truly wants to settle down but i don’t keep up with her! but it reads just as it says, hiding your true self)

and there you have it, do what you will with this fjsjdbdbskks
