There is also a video uploaded on youtube for this reading - support on there is supported.

Readings are under the read more.

Pile 1/Cat

This was a bit of a confusing pile, since it seemed like there were multiple messages in it that didn't seem to go together.

The first tarot card for this pile was the Knight of Pentacles. This card is often associated with slow progress. A lot of focusing on details with this card.

The second tarot card for this pile was the Page of Pentacles. This card is associated with learning new skills, likely something that you can use to earn money/further your career in some way with this card being a Pentacle.

The third tarot card for this pile was The Emperor. This card is often associated with taking charge and being a leader. I feel like this is what you're working towards and/or trying to behave like.

The kipper cards for this pile were House and Thoughts. This suggests some thoughts about the house occurring for you. This can be thinking about some changes to the home or the dynamic in the home.

The lenormand cards for this pile were Heart and Child. This can be associated with a first love/past sweetheart. I also feel like this can be connected to caring for a child (likely yours if you have one) - with that aspect, I think that some of the thoughts related to the house may be connected to changes associated with the child's growth/desire for more independence.

The affirmation card for this pile was I Am At Ease And Happy When I Am On My Own. Basically, about not relying on others for your happiness.

The love oracle card for this pile was 32. Undeniable Evidence. This is associated with some kind of physical evidence of a relationship (like how rings are associated with engagement and marriage). This does suggest that a relationship (if you are in one) may get a bit more serious, as someone gives some kind of token to show commitment to the connection.

The oracle cards for this pile were Choosing Your Path - All Is Possible and Horse - Care For Others And Let Them Be Free. I feel like the choosing your path is something that many of you have been in the process of doing with the tarot cards that had came out. I feel like the path many of you are choosing/have chosen/are being encouraged to choose is one that has you in more of a leadership role, whether that is even simply you being in more control of your life. The horse card I feel like relates to those of you that having a child/the changes involving a child dynamic since it's you trying to find a balance on showing your care but also not controlling them too much. Even for those of you without the child dynamic, it can be about examining your behavior in relationships if there is a tendency to wish to control/change others.

The runes for this pile were Hagalaz and The Rings. Hagalaz can be rather destructive and testing. This does suggest that you're going through some testing times. The Rings are associated with commitments and partnerships. I do like that rings with that Undeniable Evidence card for those of you that are in a serious relationship.

Pile 2/Bear

The first tarot card for this pile was the 9 of Pentacles. This is associated with independence and having worked hard to get to where you are at.

The second tarot card for this pile was the 6 of Cups reversed. This card is often associated with the past. With it coming out reversed, it suggests that there may be a bit of living in the past or dwelling on the past quite a bit.

The third tarot card for this pile was the Ace of Cups. This suggests a new emotional opportunity or outlet is in store for you.

The kipper cards for this pile were Pathway and Child. I feel like this can be interpreted a few ways. The main one that I feel is that you are being encouraged to make a choice with an innocent, unbiased perspective. Another is that you are having to make a choice related to a child, whether it is related to a child that you have or if you are considering having children.

The lenormand cards for this pile were Garden and Book. This has to with secrecy and groups. This could be connected to a meeting of some sorts that you're keeping a secret. It could also represent a meeting/gathering/etc where you learn some kind of secret or information that you hadn't known prior.

The affirmation card for this pile was I Have The Courage To Be The Happiest Healthiest Version Of Myself. This is encouragement to focus on yourself and being your best self.

The love oracle card for this pile was 30. Futile Waiting. This card suggests that you may be holding onto someone who isn't sincere or going to return. Like you're taking a vow much more seriously than they are. That could be connected to that 6 of Cups reversed that came out in the tarot.

The oracle cards for this pile were Wondrous Universe - Walk In Beauty and Deer - Trust In The Support Of The Universe. Basically, I feel like both of these are encouraging you to trust that the universe has your back and you aren't taking everything on by yourself.

The runes for this pile were Othala and the Moon. Othala is connected to values and other things that you inherited from ancestors. I feel like this goes along with trusting that the universe has your back, as well as your ancestors. The Moon is associated with mystery, transitions, and feminine energy. Basically, you're experiencing changes and it can feel like there's more going on than you can see.

Pile 3/Bunny

The first tarot card for this pile was Temperance. This is connected to patience and remaining calm. Basically, I feel like you're trying to remain level-headed despite the challenges that are getting thrown at you.

The second tarot card for this pile was the 9 of Wands. This is connected with standing your ground despite the challenges that are coming at you, many of which are often repetitive issues. These challenges can be rather tiring and are likely wearing you out.

The third tarot card for this pile was the King of Pentacles. This is someone who is very practical and good with the finances. This again suggests to me that you are trying to be practical with how you're handling situations.

The kipper cards for this pile were Main Female and Family Room. The main female card often represents you (or a significant female in your life, likely a family member in this case with the Family Room card). I feel like you're likely focusing on your family at this time, possibly taking on more responsibility for some reason as that King of Pentacles.

The lenormand cards for this pile were Fox and Mice. This can suggest some issues at work, involving deception or other issues. There can also be gaslighting or suspicions involved here.

The affirmation card for this pile was Whatever I Choose To Believe Comes True For Me.

The love oracle card for this pile was 2. Unrequited Love. This can involve unrequited love as it is usually thought of. It can also involve someone being oblivious to someone else's crush/feelings for them.

The oracle cards for this pile were Staying Focused - Hold The Course and Badger - Bring Your Life Into Balance. I feel like these are all things that you're working on doing and are being encouraged to keep doing.

The runes for this pile were Tiwaz and The Crossroads. Tiwaz is associated with leadership and authority. It is also connected with knowing your own strengths and a willingness to self-sacrifice. The Crossroads is associated with making changes and/or having choices to make.

Pile 4/Dog

The first tarot card for this pile was the 8 of Pentacles. This is associated with working on things and getting them done. It can also be associated with working on mastering a skill.

The second tarot card for this pile was the 2 of Swords. This is associated with having to make a difficult choice. Sometimes this choice is difficult because you don't want to make it. I feel like this choice is connected to having to choose to pursue your dreams or stick with something that you've been working on for awhile.

The third tarot card for this pile was The Star. This is associated with hopes and healing.

The kipper cards for this pile were Unexpected Income and Lovers. This does kinda give me sugar daddy vibes. It could also be like a relationship comes in unexpectedly. Possibly learning that a partner has more money/financial security than they previously let on.

The lenormand cards for this pile were Key and Whip. Together these cards can suggest an angry/aggressive response. I also feel like it could also be an aggressive realization/secret coming out.

The affirmation card for this pile was Every Experience In My Life Helps Me To Grow. Basically, trying to look at even the unpleasant situations as a stepping stone that helped you grow, whether it was simply learning that you didn't want to be in that type of situation again.

The love oracle card for this pile was 43. Object Of Ridicule. This card is associated with someone coming at you with the intent to mock you or trying to make a fool out of you. I feel like you don't let it get to you too much and are able to see how it simply makes that person out to be a creep for having those intentions.

The oracle cards for this pile were Overcoming Obstacles - You Can Overcome Anything and Cow - Give With Unconditional Love And Grace. Basically, you're more capable than you may realize and not blocking yourself off from giving/showing love.

The runes for this pile were Kenaz and the Woman. Kenaz is connected to passion, creativity, and revelations. The Woman is associated with feminine energy, possibly literally representing a woman. It can also be associated with a healing and nurturing energy, like The Empress.

ATEEZ Kim Hongjoong Tarot Reading - Future Spouse

Disclaimer: I do tarot readings for fun, so please read them with a grain of salt. Don’t take my words too seriously and just keep an open mind. Tarot is a divination tool that can’t predict the future, as every single individual has their own will and makes their own decisions. Tarot should be seen as a guidance and a good friend that just has your best interest and gives you advice when needed. I’m not putting anyone in my readings on a pedestal nor am I trying to harm anyone. One last side note, I’m not a native speaker, so please excuse any wrong spellings or poor grammar.

Date of Reading: October 8th 2023

Decks: Ethereal Visions Tarot, Wild Mystic Oracle, Dreamscape Oracle, Romance Angel Oracle, Love Oracle, island time wellness love Oracle, Angel Answers Oracle Cards

0 The Fool, IX The Hermit, XVIII The Moon, Four of Wands, Nine of Wands

this is someone who wants to explore the world with him and wants to go on adventures

they’re very creative and love to travel

they try to see the good in everyone

but could get taken advantage of easily because of that

someone playful and carefree, someone who allows Hongjoong’s inner child to feel safe and sound

they have a pretty innocent and pure aura and energy surrounding them, like they can’t hurt a fly

but they’re very protective over their loved ones and won’t stop standing up for themselves and their beliefs

they adapt to their surroundings easily and have no issues fitting into different societies

but that also means they could wear a mask most of the time and are hard to read to protect themself

Hongjoong needs a lot of time to actually get to know their true self

but he kinda likes that aspect, it’s like going on a treasure hunt and discovering something new, he doesn’t seem to mind that

I see them as more introverted than extroverted, but still a very social introvert (getting INFP vibes)

they like social gatherings with their loved ones

they could be a dancer or just generally love to dance

it’s someone very determined to reach their goals and desires

forgives but never forgets

once you’re in their inner circle, they’ll give their everything to you

whenever they feel like they lost themself, they will log themself out of this world for a moment and need some time alone

they put a lot of work in self care and soul searching and will help Hongjoong do the same

they’re a night owl and love to daydream

I’m seeing long deep talks at night between the two of them

it’s like having your bestie over for a sleepover and you guys keep talking about anything and everything throughout the whole night

it’s someone who values this connection as much as Hongjoong does, they take their relationships serious

relationships are sacred to them

but they could play hard to get or generally are hard to pin down

I’m not saying they have commitment issues because this doesn’t feel like it, it’s more like they know their worth and won’t settle for less

could be like Hongjoong has to really put a lot of work in to get into a connection with his fs

I see someone who has been through a lot of karmic lessons and karmic relationships

they’re pretty deeply wounded but extremely strong

both of them actually teach each other to love themselves and be less harsh to themselves

they maybe could’ve been together in past lives

they will have a constant honeymoon phase

he’s looking for true love and finds it in his fs

they maybe want to build a family together or just generally build the best life for each other to grow old in stillness and happiness

his fs has this energy that allows Hongjoong to be completely free of any worries

I don’t think he has met them yet

could have Pisces placements

could be someone who’s older than him but looks younger

objectively very beautiful with maybe longer curly hair and puppy or boba eyes

Love,

~Nicky 🫧

Hi! I'm here to participate in your exchange game, it sounds like fun lol.

I love learning vedic astrology through your blog, I feel like it's more interesting learning from someone who speaks the native language of the practice you know? They notice things that you don't!

I'm going for the tarot reading option. So here is your reading!

Decks used: True heart Intuitive tarot, sacred earth oracle, blue bird lenormard & astrological oracle

Cards that I got: Wheel of fortune, 6 of discs, king of swords, 2 of cups, king of cups & the hermit

Oracles I got: Anchor, Tower, Fox, Absence & specialisation

Your future spouse to me is someone very mature. They could most likely be your age or just around your age, if they are older however I don't see them being that much older than you ( 2-4 years max).

They give me the impression of an introverted soul, someone very wise and knowledgeable. He is a very patient person as well. Emotionally stable and calculating.

He could have grown up in a low income family when he was younger. His parents may have had financial struggles. His parents have put a lot of effort ensuring your future spouse gets proper education, and never submitted to any obstacles. His home life growing up was also relatively harmonious, his parents are very kind and loving to him. From this, I feel like he grew up with a lot of love and respect for them.

He may have been a great student, he probably has a very good or at the very least stable job that allows him to live comfortably. He is also very generous to other people with his wealth and knowledge. The type to help others without expecting anything in return. He could also have accumulated a lot of good karma in his life.

Your love life will be very harmonious. With the two of cups I feel like both of you will be soulmates who are understanding and kind to each other. In the deck I'm using, the two of cups depicts two lovers exchanging cups in front of the Taj Mahal!

Perhaps you'll meet him there? Or you will meet him while travelling. He could live in a different state/country than you. He may have gone through the dark night of the soul, may have went through a period of isolation during his youth.

Maybe he didn't have that many friends in school? He is the type to be protective of his energy. He may also be into esoteric knowledge with the 'specialisation' card. Could be religious or spiritual.

He could be a teacher, a lecturer or an IT specialist, any career that has to do with communication and intellect.

In terms of astrological signs, I'm getting Leo, Virgo, Capricorn and Libra. Libra was very persistent tho, the card kept flying out even after I put it back in the deck lol.

This is all I'm getting at the moment. I hope you enjoyed your reading! ♡

Oh, and here is my D9 chart. I'm not very accustomed to vedic astrology as I am to western astrology so I'd like to see what you think. I read somewhere that my dk is Saturn. Just ask me if you feel like something is missing!

Hi Thank you so much for participating and for exchange is really amazing 👏 💖 . You can tell me if i need to add for length. i am open for any suggestions.

Your future spouse can be famous or they can have leadership qualities they can be a person who hold authority and may be guide a lot of people can be famous can shine like a sun and may be main character energy . They can be into money making or can look like person who have comfortable living. They can be emotionally present for you when you need them or they can look very young and charming . There can be chances that you may be face some problems in case of emotion compatibility or there can be delay to understand it . The main focus of the marriage can be related to home may be they or you both focus on bringing or building a home where you both can be happy in your life . They can be fortunate for you or moving with them can be fortunate for you may be your travel a lot or shift abroad after marriage. They can own a lot of property or money . Chances can be some people can harm the reputation of marriage but it won't last long may be because work place or peoples but it won't lastlong cause yiur future spouse it determined to make a safe home for you there can be a lot of love in marriage and luck because of them . There work can be related to logical thing and communication where they can use there will power may be medicaland psychology. Over all people view your marriage as this is basically depends or communication and you deal with it with intelligent and there can be some secretive about it but you guys don't give to much attention or other people view cause you know how you make your home . Your expenses can be go into health related problems it important you to take care of there health problems. There can be gain into marriage fom medical feild or they lesson or hardships you are going to face . Just don't give up sure you both are power couple.

Feedback is required for my improvement

DAILY ANGEL MESSAGE!

Take a deep breath, let it out slowly, say this prayer and then keep reading: “Thank you angels for revealing to me what I need to know!”

MESSAGE

Lord Shiva is with you right now to awaken your sense of connection to life itself. You are moving through a deep transition and things will be clearer from this point – you will know exactly what you need to do and where you need to be. This is a powerful time, as you will transcend the limitations that others have set for you. It is a time of innovation, ideas, stargazing, soul travelling and soul revealing. Shiva, the lord of dance, is here, with his sacred sound of OM, to lead the way.

ABOUT

Shiva is one of India’s trinity of male god figures. He is depicted wearing a cobra around his neck, representing his capacity to tame fear or the ego, surrounded by stars, showing his connection to the cosmos, and holding a trident, acknowledging the three aspects of divine masculine power in India: creator, preserver and destroyer. He is known as ‘the destroyer’ because of his warrior-like energy and ability to destroy fear. He is a facet of the divine father energy and offers paternal protection, support and guidance. He is also acknowledged as ‘the cosmic dancer’ because he helps coordinate the interaction between Earth and the cosmos. He has the capacity to help us move beyond the fear of failure and into clarity and connection.

Resting on a sacred stone positioned on the cliffs of the Jurassic coast, I revealed my first earth magic oracle cards. Surrounded by butterflies, watching the water under the sun, my past, present and future cards surfaced.

Ocean, Ebb and Flow my past, the Ancestors being my present card and my future and time for reflection during the winter solstice. Breathing in new life and clarity looking towards the solstice. A time where I paint and create from September through to March.

Soon we travel across the UK, to sacred sites like Stone Henge over to live in an ancient castle in our van. I hope to return inspired to paint for the winter during hibernation. I’ll post as I travel earth angels .::. Thank you for being here in this sacred space Blessings 🌿 Wild Rose

Daily Draw - 27/4/23 - Sacred Rebels Oracle (Alana Fairchild)

11 - Diving for Light

I'm doing this as my daily work for Hekate, mostly to get to know the deck, as well as to hone my intuitive skills in reading. I also want to practice reflective writing, and I'm sure at some points, I'll just draw a card, see it as a prompt, and let my imagination run with it. So that's the purpose of this. I want to attempt intuitive feelings first before I check the book meaning, then see where that leads me and what stands out. Will I come to some kind of grand relevation through this? Maybe, maybe not. Maybe I will just have a tumblr filled with reading notes idk. But I won't get better if I don't practice, so. Here we are.

Also warning, these may be very long, or not very interesting to anyone other than me so. >_>

My initial impressions of this card are that this is the face of a mermaid. Her hair is made from seaweed or sea grass of some kind. She has scales around her face, and what looks like some kind of metalic armour or collar. She has two seahorses around her third eye, and two that hang by her neck that feel like they might otherwise be earrings. She has a calm expression on her face, but her eyes feel like they're looking further away. Whatever she's seen, it's nothing concerning. The top of the card is lighter than the bottom, where you don't actually see the top of the water, but the faint hints of seaweed that fade to white. There are also air bubbles around her face.

Diving for light suggests the need to dig deep before being able to surface. To dive below and leave burdens behind before it's possible to reach the surface and break through the water. I'm carrying burdens I need to let go of because they're holding me back, holding me down. Being underwater can make things weigh less than they do on land, so the true weight of the burdens may not be as obvious until I come up for air.

Water, too, is darker the further down you go. Deep ocean is basically pitch black. Light can only penetrate so far into water before all the wavelengths are absorbed and there's nothing left but black water. Drawing this card may signify I've reached that point of being too far down, and there's a need to come back up. To start moving upwards with healing work so I don't feel the need to hide in the darkness, blind to the work that needs doing.

As a child of Sobek, I've often had meditation experiences where we've travelled underwater together. I lie on His back, holding on tight, and He zooms through the water. I am never afraid of drowning because I don't need to breathe. I am an underwater creature when I'm travelling through water with Him, just like I am a creature of air when I fly with Heru as a bird.

I'm at a point in my life where I'm coming back to practice, too, after three long years of pandemic, post-grad study, and burn-out. Finding those connections again and returning to Sobek's light resonates with me here. Swimming through the water to find Him again, like I always do. He is the water. He is the Nun, the primordial waters of creation. He carries me on His back from the depths of those primordial waters and brings me to life. I rise like Ra on His back, bathed in His radiance. He brings me back, cleansed, healed, more aware of my own limitations and skills, welcomes me back and says, I missed you. I missed you too. HIs gentle presence, His warmth, the way He holds me close and offers me guidance.

We are diving to surface. Going deep before returning. Finding the wounds that need healing and leaving behind burdens to lie on the sea floor. I don't need them anymore. I don't. Let them go. Let them go. I'm diving through the water on His back and I'm not afraid. I'm not drowning. The water is my world. I move freely in it.

Diving deep and getting in touch with my own emotions may also be a call here, because I am notoriously Bad At Emotions, as an autistic person. I don't feel anything very strongly, positive or negative. So getting to know how I respond to things is not always easy when joy, happiness, and being in a good mood all feel - and are expressed - very much the same to me. So perhaps this exercise in card draws is going to help me find that light, to better understand myself and my own emotions. Water is often associated with emotions, after all.

The book says,

"The oracle of Diving for Light speaks of a time when you are called into darkness through life circumstances, situations, relationship challenges or inner struggles that defy clear understanding."

And tbh, given it is the dark half of the year for me, and is a time when I do tend to be more reflective and do inner shadow work, this feels appropriate.

"When diving for light, one must be willing to bear the darkness and understand it has a purpose, much like winter does upon the earth."

Which reminds me of some experiences I had with an octopus spirit some time back where it held me in the water after flooding it with ink. I could see nothing, but there was no fear. It was about addressing the shadow, the darkness, and being okay with that. Sitting with it, and with myself, almost in a sensory deprivation kind of way. Being aware that I cannot escape myself, but that this is a safe space to do this.

"The oracle brings particular guidance that althought you are powerful, you are also vulnerable at this time."

Which, WELL HELLO. Guess who's had an urge to do some protection work rn. >_> I have plans for some protection bottles for the house, but I think I will also do some personal talismans as well for extra protection for myself. Regular cleansings and purifications should also help to keep the gunk off and keep me safe from bad shit. I have been neglecting regular purifications ngl, and I need to get back into it. It does help so much.

But I do also heed this as a call for more formal shadow work too. There's fears there that need conquering, and I can't do that if I keep away from the darkness. It is a test, but one I can handle. Because I'm Sobek's child, and His strength is my strength. The water is my playground. We sink into the Lake of Faiyum like Ra to join with Wesir in the darkness of the night, and we will rise again like Ra, reborn, shining with radiance in the morning.

[tarot-and-stuff]

Hi! I hope you are doing well these days. Can I receive a free reading? Since 2024 started, I have been having quite a difficult time adjusting. I want to know how I would guide myself through the first half of the year, so my questions are: 1) what should I expect in the following months/first half of the year? 2) how can I successfully get through these months?

Sincerely, thank you! - 444 anon (I am seeing a lot of 4s right now as I write this) 😊

Hi! I'm doing alright. For the first question I used the tarot and for your second question I used the oracle cards.

Tarot

The first card to come out was Judgment. This suggests that you're being called/urged to do something. This is often associated with something that will give you a sense of purpose. I feel like this may be something you're already noticing a bit (with things like repeating 4s, etc).

The second card to come out was the 6 of Cups reversed. This can suggest a heavy focus on the past and a bit of living in the past. This can be something as simple as a lot of reminders of the past coming up these coming months.

The third card to come out was the 8 of Wands. This is a very busy card. This suggests that things will be/feel busy for you for the first part of the year. This can also suggest that you'll feel like you're having a lot of stuff thrown at you and are kinda needing to just go with the flow.

Under the deck was the Page of Wands. This can be associated with spontaneous communication. This can be you stepping out of your comfort zone a bit (possibly getting pushed out of it with that Judgment card). There could be some unexpected communication from someone from the past too that contributes to that 6 of Cups reversed.

Oracle

The first oracle card to fall out was Grounding - Go Deep, Explore Your Roots. Making sure to ground yourself will be important for you. The roots part also makes me think a bit about ancestry type stuff, so if there are any questions/mysteries that you have about that (or like ancestral cycle type things) that might be something to look into a bit.

The second oracle card to fall out was Crossing Bridges - It's Time For Healing, Connecting, Mending, & Releasing. This suggests that there is some issue that requires healing. I don't feel like this is necessarily a new issue since you had that 6 of Cups reversed.

The third oracle card to fall out was Rainbow Blessings - Blessings Are Showering Your Life. This does hopefully suggest some good things coming into your life, despite the challenges that are also coming at you.

From the top of the deck was Joy and Delight - Open Your Heart To Joy. I feel like this is basically encouraging you to try to focus on things that bring you happiness, even when it may be difficult to do so. It can also be encouragement to pursue things that make you happy.

Mini Tarot & Oracle Readings for Earth Signs!

TAURUS

Mercury's ingress back into Sagittarius last week has kept you in hiding, or at least wanting to escape all the activity around you currently. You would rather observe than participate but your companions don't feel the same. They wanna talk and do stuff! Good luck!

VIRGO

Cards are showing someone learning something new and exciting or someone making travel plans for this Spring. Learning topics surrounding motherhood are coming up here, perhaps learning how to deal with your own mother! Whatever it is, it's deep and very important to you.

CAPRICORN

Learning new boundaries, rituals and/or traditions. There is lots of creative power here to build something sacred with community supporting you. You could be suspicious that this is too good to be true. Instead of worrying about that, do what you can to protect it.
