Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Pile 1
I see that they think about going out with you on a nice date where you guys dress up, they think about flirting with you the whole time during the date and giving you flirty looks or touching you whenever they can. They think about having some food and a lot of drinks so you guys can be comfortable with each other then they want to go home with you or to a hotel so that you guys can have sex and spend the night together. They think about how they want you guys to be patient and do some foreplay before having sex, they want you both to be really turned on and horny when it’s time to have sex. They want to have passionate sex and show you how much they care for you/love you, they want you dominate them or tell them what you want in the bedroom. Once they have you alone they would want to kiss you passionately and take your clothes piece by piece and feel your skin along the way, they would want you to feel how turned on you make them. They would have passionate and fast paced sex with you because it would be hard to control their desire for you, they would want to do multiple rounds with you and I see that the more rounds you do the slower they would go it’s just the first round or two would be more energetic. I see that they think about having a few passion filled nights with you but they don’t want anything long term or serious. Signs- Pisces, Scorpio, Virgo. Initals- Y, O, U, D

They think about your back/butt or how good you look when your arch your back, they think about doing stuff with you that they’ve never did with anyone else or they think about fulfilling your fantasies. They think about how experienced you are in the bedroom or how well you know their body, they think about how they want to show how experienced they are and that they can make you feel good anytime. They can tell when you’re thinking about them or they feel like you know when they’re thinking about you, they feel like you have a good intuition and you know stuff about them without them having to tell you. They think you’re very attractive without showing off too much skin, they think your face is very alluring and you look innocent/sweet in public but you’re very different in the bedroom. They think that they’re more attracted to you than you are to them, they think you have a hold on them sexually and whenever they see you they think about doing naughty things to you. They know you bring out a more primal/dark sexual energy from them and you make them act kore dominant or obsessive over you, they try to control their feelings/attraction for you but it’s hard.

They think a lot about the times they’ve kissed you or had sex with you and they compare it to other people, they feel like you guys had more chemistry compared to others in their past.

Pile 1- The Devil, Six of Coins in Reverse, The Hanged Man
Oracle cards- "Billionaire: Are you hoarding wealth to fuel your King or Queen Baby dreams? Do not pass Go, do not collect a million dollars, don't even go to jail or pay taxes- think about doing some good and using your hoard to end WORLD HUNGER ALREADY!"
"Black Square: Apparently, you are only down for doing the bare minimum during an incredibly significant time to stand up and advocate for human rights. Drawing this card reminds you that your actions need to not be just performative, they must be based in real knowledge and include follow-through, both online and IRL (in real life). You don't have to be on the front lines, but at this point in history, you can't be silent either."
Tumblr media
Hi my pile 1's 😭 I feel like it's been forever I hate being away from my blog for too long cause I start to miss y'all literally lol.
So anyways for your reading today I feel like Spirit is wanting to draw attention to maybe some addictions, self sabotage is what I heard while shuffling the cards. I feel this heavy energy of someone purposely messing up their own blessings in a way I feel like maybe someone's stuck in this very heavy energy but also not really doing anything about it? Like maybe you know something's not good for you, maybe it's a connection or even a job that's tiring you out, it's something along those lines but you just can't stop it, you know? I heard someone needs to do an energy cleanse! I heard take some time off. Maybe someone's drowning themselves in something like studying too much, there's something about over doing something. Someone could have very curly hair here.
So I'm hearing here someone should take the time off and do something fun, relax a little. I think there's a message here also of feeling like you haven't done enough of something and you're obsessing about it mentally a lot and spirit is saying just take a little break from it and endulg in something else, something that makes you happy and makes you feel like you, you know? Even if it's just taking a walk while listening to your favorite music or maybe reading your favorite book and watching your favorite movie, you know? So with the six of coins here I'm also getting a message of like you've worked really hard already and you've done a great job honestly it's okay to rest and not be perfect already already, Rome wasn't built in a day I'm hearing!
The hanged man is just confirmation you've definitely been making yourself sick and stuck by obsessing over this thing. I also feel like maybe you're stuck because spirit is wanting you to see things from a different perspective, like in my garbage pail kid tarot card Wacky Jacky is hanging and all stuck in a tree but while she's stuck she realizes she sees the world in a whole different perspective and it's then new ideas come to her. Approach your goal from a new angle!
I feel like someone here is also someone very important with a very hard position and that might be why you work so hard, you have a lot of pressure on you maybe. Take what resonates!
Hope you enjoyed this reading! Let me know, I love you and take care ♡

Pile 2- Queen of Wands Reversed, Seven of Wands Reversed and Three of Cups.
Oracle cards- "Troll: Are you a Necessary Evil? Do you feel you must play Devil's Advocate? Or are you someone who hates themselves so much they feel they have to try to get others to feel the same way? If you answered "yes" to one or more of these questions, please seek help or therapy, or get a hobby."
"Bitch: Are you being a Bitch, or just making sure they can't take advantage of you? Stand up for yourself, but make sure you don't steamroll anyone in the process. Do no harm, but take no shit."
Tumblr media
Hi pile 2's, hope you're doing amazing 🤩
So right off the bat I'm picking up shy energy lol, someone who's maybe more reserved or introverted. I don't want to say basically Spirit thinks you should be loud or more outgoing but I definitely think you'll go through a time period of weird energy and out of the ordinary situations happening that are forcing you out of your comfort zone. You might not get any more extroverted but I definitely do see branching out might help, sitting with your close friends and just letting yourself let loose or just enjoy the company. You might be someone who people look at and not get the big picture right away, like they have lots of accusations about you but you're kind of closed off so these accusations aren't 100% true because there's more to you than people know, you're just not the type to go and give yourself away that easily. You might be someone who prefers to keep a very close knit group of friends, I heard something about trust issues.
You could be petite, someone who doesn't look like they're very strong and that's what surprises everyone when you finally do show them you are indeed strong. You can be loud and extroverted too I think it's a choice to really be in this shell of yours, maybe it's what's comfortable and that's exactly the problem, when we're too comfortable we don't see the point in changing. Like why fix it if it isn't broken? But you hold great significance, you're just a significant person to the universe and I'm not even sure if you're aware but you are lol.
It's crazy because I'm picking up mixed messages lol, with the Queen of Wands in reverse it makes me feel like someone here is very down and unsure about themselves, needs to take some me time and get away from socializing but with the Three of Cups someone here needs to "stop being alone so much" is how I channeled it, advising you to go out more with the people you love and celebrate, have a good time and just have fun so take what resonates as you know yourself best and what applies to your situation.
With the seven of Wands I'm getting a message of someone who's stressed, you maybe have felt very tired, over worked maybe, even dealing with certain responsibilities or relationship makes us feel tired and all worn out so take this how it resonates. You're on the brink of giving up, maybe you felt like it's not worth it or simply just can't find results you've been wanting to see, maybe this thing is literally killing you because Spirit is stressing you drop it enough to take the stress off you. I wouldn't advise anyone to just give up, but Spirit used such words as "drop it" like maybe the thing you're supposed to drop isn't serving you and that's why it's making you feel so bad. I'm just hearing Spirit even ask if you think all of this is worth it? This is something tough that's been bothering you, it could even be as simple as negative thoughts with all of the wands energy here, I think this is a group in their head a lot always trying to hold themselves accountable and very motivated to just do right. I heard a message that it's hard coming up for new creative endeavors because of all of the negativity in your thoughts holding you back, this energy is blocking your ideas. It's like you vs you almost, I think you have the power to help your dreams manifest all on their own just with your thoughts alone so keep a check for your energy, watch who you share your energy with because it's important and powerful. You're powerful I heard!
I hope you find this helpful! Take care angelz love you! ♡

Pile 3- Seven of Cups, The Chariot and King of Wands.
Oracle Cards- "Black Square: Apparently, you are only down for doing the bare minimum during an incredibly significant time to stand up and advocate for human rights. Drawing this card reminds you that your actions need to not be just performative, they must be based in real knowledge and include follow-through, both online and IRL (in real life). You don't have to be on the front lines, but at this point in history, you can't be silent either."
"Red Flag: No matter how often you try to bleach the red flags white, they only turn back to red. You have been warned- now PULL ANOTHER CARD!"
"Cult Leader: You are not a guru, a Timelord, or a demigod. You are an egomaniac who needs minions so you can feel like an authority to compensate for your own feelings of inferiority. Grow up!"
Tumblr media
Hi pile 3! Hope you're having a fantastic day where you are!
So right away I'm picking up a message of not seeing the bigger picture, this pile feels more like a "How to Manifest more quicker" lol. I'm hearing this very slow moving energy, someone refusing to move on to the next chapter though you might be aware it's time to even but I'm getting a sense of fear. Even if you are unaware of these changes there's still so much anxiety and fear surrounding you at these times because the universe is basically forcing you to move lol! Move or be moved I'm hearing.
So overall I feel like someone in this pile might have lots of distractions, someone might have adhd and a hard time concentrating on tasks. Spirits drawing your attention these times and reminding you to stay focus.
With the Chariot card I feel like there's some movement here that needs to happen, you need to take action. I think that's the best way to help your manifestations right now, maybe someone here even forget exactly what they were manifesting and Spirit is like "Uhh HELLO? DO YOU REMEBER THAT THING??" lol. I heard someone's just been away from the job a little too long, I even get from the Seven of Cups it might've been you were distracted with something else that just sparked your attention better, but all that glitters isn't gold!
So I think you're working on being in this King of Wands energy, someone who is very productive, knows what they want, speaks up about anything, rather it's an idea they have or just wanting authority. I feel like a few of you even might know exactly what this is, I feel like a few of you might not even have a specific dream you want to manifest just clicking on the reading for fun lol but there's still a secretive message here I think you'll understand as you apply it to your situation.
Spirit is asking you to maybe think about the roots you want to plant and start from there, stay true to your craft and perspective and be committed.
I hope you enjoyed this reading! I love you, see you soon ❤️ ★

Your Future Spouse’s Love Language 💕💌✨
Pick An Image ✨
Tumblr media
Image 1
Love Language : acts of service
Image 1 your future spouse will enjoy pampering you and making sure all of your needs are met. Acts of service helps this person to feel useful to you. They fix things around the house and always volunteer to repair anything that you may overlook or have no time to address. This person will be super handy and makes any problem seem like a piece of cake. This person will be locked in to this connection because you make them feel needed.
Tumblr media
Image 2
Love language: physical touch
Image 2 your future spouse will bring a fun element into your life. If you are a homebody this person will bring you out more and introduce you to all of their friends soon after meeting you. They will find you irresistible and unable to keep their hands off of you. They will find any reason to show you affection by giving you massages, offering to wash your hair, give you foot rubs, or do things for you like painting your nails. Your future spouse will be fiery.
Tumblr media
Image 3
Love language: words of affirmation
Image 3 your future spouse will be someone who wants to speak life into you and your dreams. They have been through a rough patch in their life which gave them profound understanding of how their new partner deserves love, respect, and honesty. There is a public separation that was messy and now this person is so guarded and pushes everyone away that gets too close. They will always tell you beautiful encouraging words whether you are feeling up or down. They will be your biggest supporter.
Tumblr media
Image 4
Love language: quality time
Image 4 your future spouse will be torn between making money or pouring into their new love. They travel a lot for work which has thrown a monkey wrench in any hopes of keeping someone serious in their life. This is going to put them in a crossroads. They value their career but it is getting in the way of their happiness. They want to build with you because they want to invest their time and complete attention to you.
Which readings resonates? 🪬🧿💙✨

King of pentacles rv and 5 of swords
I see that you may feel defeated at work or with your career, you may have some conflict with a coworker or you feel like you can’t focus/move past a hurdle. For some of you I see that you’re starting to resent work or the place you work at, I see that you may be dealing with someone who’s too aggressive or overbearing and for some of you I see that you need to be more aggressive or overbearing in order to gain control. Be more optimistic/energetic and don’t be afraid to lead, have more confidence. I see that you need some new ideas or inspiration, you may feel like you need help because things are chaotic. Initials- C, L, O, K

How I manifested a rejection (accidentally) and maybe you're doing it too
Tumblr media
"So how the hell did that happen?"
There's this dude that I've had a crush on since a few months and I've talked to him a few times, and in my head everytime I've talked to him I told myself that he doesn't like me, I kept repeating "he doesn't like me" subconsciously every time someone asked me what I would do if he likes me. And one day I finally told them expecting a rejection and I got it 💀💀
So this guy, he's very cute and has cats and shit but I'm attracted to him just because there's no one hotter, currently (ignore my attachment and deattachment issues).
And if I'm being honest he would have liked me cuz well people ship me with him but I didn't think we'd look good (no hate to him, his personality wasn't the type to click with me and shit yk)
And now why did I think that? Well that's because I was too insecure. Persisting is a very hard thing to do when everything in life wants you to fail but that doesn't mean you can let it.
We are the creators of our realities, we wouldn't have found this unless we were meant for something way bigger. Negative thoughts are never going to leave but it's our job to believe in ourselves, because your thoughts create reality
I know it's so hard to actually persist, but if you can persist in your negative thoughts then you can persist in the positive ones too
Saying negative things or even thinking them manifests negativity, if you think your life is shit it will be shit but if you keep on saying that your life is the best one out there and you're the luckiest person on earth then that will happen. There's no way it won't, if you continue thinking that way then it will happen, failure isn't an option here as you won't fail. Persist. Persist. Persist. That's all you gotta do.
Again, it's your life, you're god.
Dni if: homophobic, transphobic, racist, if you don't care about the people dying in Palestine, congo, etc, anyone whos so religious its toxic or people who hate on religions, I don't like men thank you (just the creepy ones please stay away, I have a taser 🥰), anti shifters, anyone whos older than 25 (leave me alone unless you wanna be a drake)

To My Body
Holy ash, animate dust
Stunted conductor, moonstruck cache
I smell the winter in your nose,
carry you from my bed,
scan the grass with your feet.
With your mouth I taste filth.
Your nerves keep me safe
            and keep me awake.
You are channel 
and dam.
You show me cliffs
and hang me from them.
The conception 
that splits.
The growth 
and growths.
You warm
          and burn.
You sprint, sway, float
break, infect, sprain.
You play, write, know,
block, stop, detain.
Another day.
Senses seen.
More skin to shed;
body to be.
By Rachel Parsons, Fratres Dei Spiritual Direction

i hate that after almost 3 years, I am still so angry. I hate that my abuser gets to post openly and freely online, attracting many vulnerable people and running me off the platform that I grew on first. I hate that people go to him for advice, and I hate that people believe he is the real deal. I hate this man. I hate him with all my heart.
and I genuinely hate that I can hate this much. Everything in me feels like a dark endless void because of him. I can't leave the house by myself for too long. I don't like to be touched. I lock my bathroom door when im home alone. I check that the doors are all locked several times before I can relax. Even when I think I'm relaxing though, I'm not.
I cannot believe that this is happening. I cannot believe that he is growing an audience pretending to be a spiritual adviser when all he is, is a predator. I hate that I don't know how to come forward, or what to do about the situation or my feelings.
I feel so stupid. I feel like I failed myself so deeply. He stalked me and harassed me and scared me to the point where I don't want to be perceived anymore. In the last 2 years alone, I have maybe taken 10 pictures of myself. I cannot stand my face. or my body. I have zero confidence in myself and I feel like I've ruined my own hopes and dreams because I stopped creating content.
It's just.... painful. the same person who laughed at me and told me posting content was a waste of time is now doing the exact thing I did. I feel robbed and I'm not sure if I should feel that way, or what way I should feel, but I do.
I feel voiceless. I have such a fear of being discovered and being seen because of the mental, emotional, spiritual hell this person has put me through, and he gets to collect roses and gifts on tiktok doing the one thing that I love doing.
I'm sorry if I sound like a damn baby (I know, I know), but I just have no one I can really talk to about this, and these feelings needed somewhere to go.
I fucking hate him. Predators shouldn't get to be online scouting out more victims

Ever wonder how the stars shape your journey? I’ve always been fascinated by astrology and its insights into our personalities and life paths.
An astrology reading is more than just predicting the future - it’s a powerful tool for self-discovery and personal growth. I got into astrology as a teenager because I wanted to understand myself at a deeper level. I was hooked once I learned there was more to astrology than just the sun sign. I spent years studying my chart, and still do to this day. I’ve had the privilege of connecting with, and guiding, a multitude of people to help them better understand themselves, leading to increased self-awareness and the clarity they need to confidently step into their power and lead a life aligned with their soul’s purpose.
