Send me your tarot education questions 🫰

Hello, rebels! I really want to work on the education aspect of this blog and I would love to know what questions you might have in terms of:

interpretation (I will NOT help interpret specific spreads, this is more so about the technical skills vs. the practical application, i.e. how to read cards that come out sideways)

general (i.e. how to choose your deck, which divination methods I use & for what, etc.)

notes (specific things that might stand out to me in terms of cards, etc.)

any other questions you have in terms of learning tarot!

If you are unsure whether your question falls into any of the categories, do not worry. Send in your question and I will sort out the ones I won't answer. ♡♡

Disclaimer: My teachings are rooted in my personal knowledge and interpretation of tarot and its practice. This reflects my chosen approach, but it’s essential to note that tarot has multiple valid interpretations and methods, and my way is just one of many.

How I read cards coming out sideways

Disclaimer: My teachings are rooted in my personal knowledge and interpretation of tarot and its practice. This reflects my chosen approach, but it’s essential to note that tarot has multiple valid interpretations and methods, and my way is just one of many.

A summary of what I do:

I take it as is and read it as either a 'stuck' energy or as something that has not been decided yet, i.e., the outcome depends on a choice that needs to be made (depending on context). I then read the most likely outcome as the direction it would have when turned clockwise (90 degrees). All cards before the sideways card are interpreted as outcomes based on past choices that have already been made and lead to the sideways card. It's more of a "fork in the road" for me, meaning that depending on what you choose at that point or based on what you do, the outcome can change (as for every reading, but in such cases, the possibility of multiple outcomes is highlighted). Again, the card is leaning in a direction that can be determined by how it would fall if it were to be turned 90 degrees clockwise. I love sideways cards; they make spreads a lot more interesting. Again, cards following the sideways card are based on the choice the cards are leaning towards, aka., the choice you are leaning towards at this moment in time. You can get some additional cards if you want to for the opposite direction, i.e., if the card is leaning upright, for the reversed position, to get a fuller picture of the two highlighted outcomes. However, as always in Tarot, things can change depending on your choices. There are multiple outcomes for everything. But in spreads like this, the choice is highlighted.

So to put it into steps this is what I do:

Determine if this is a stuck energy or if it's a choice to be made. This can be confirmed by taking a look at the context of the cards. What is this spread telling us and what was the question inspiring this spread?

Determine what position the card would have when turned 90° clockwise. -> This is our most likely outcome.

Read the cards AFTER the sideways card as cards linked to the most likely outcome.

The cards BEFORE the sideways card are unaffected by the outcome but are most likely leading to it.

Optional: If you want a fuller picture you can get additional cards asking for the outcome if the card is turned 90° COUNTERclockwise. -> Please note though that energy, at this point in time, is not leaning towards said outcome. But it is still a possibility.

If you read your bottom decks, I tend to read it (in cases as such) as the energy that influences that choice/that feeling of stuckness.

I use tarot primarily through jumpers because I never get that intuitive nudge to stop shuffling. However this also means that sometimes cards come out sideways. I personally developed my own system for understanding these as they are, but how do YOU read them?

[koolkidkook]

Your word is the most powerful command, so respect it. You say you’re gonna start exercising, do that. You say you want to focus on yourself? Do that. Disrespecting your word builds mistrust with yourself. The only reason you believe you can go against your own word is because you believe it’s not worth respecting. Are you worth respecting? Your answer should be yes. If you don’t feel that way, no shame, ever, what are things you can do or become to be respectable to yourself? Remember, this has nothing to do with other people, only you. Let go of perception and focus on yourself own perspective. Do you want to be around someone who never keeps their promise? If not, why would you be that person to yourself? Treat yourself with kindness and with the highest regard. I don’t know you, but you do, you know what you need, you know what you like now feed yourself with that. Consume things that make you feel great and that uplift you. Be conscious and intentional with what you bring into your life, practice that. If you’ve never considered these things before(even if you have), always practice humility with yourself because you’re not gonna always get it the first try. This can be hard but you bitch you’re harder! With time and consistency, you’ll find that you have the confidence to do shit and to be shit. You got this!! Be your biggest lover! You are the love of your life!

with love, koolkidkook (๑>◡<๑)♥︎(●´ω｀●) (you with yourself)

THE TRUTH ABOUT ESCAPING TWIN FLAMES AND OTHER MLM NEW AGE BULLSHIT

"You don't get rich writing science fiction. If you want to get rich, you start a religion."

L. Ron Hubbard (Founder of Scientology)

I won't lie to you. What got me into tarot was a very raw and real dream about a man I've never met in my life. I had this dream when I was 15 and it felt like I was floating in a parallel universe.

Dreams with this "stranger" kept coming and going and during a search I stumbled upon the concept of "twin flames".

As with anything NeW AgE it is nothing new. All New Age bullshit are concepts familiar to human civilizations for thousands of years. In all ancient cultures these concepts show up again and again.

Astrology, cartomancy and other forms of divination and guidance have been used by Mesopotamians, Egyptians, Greeks and Hindu people for centuries. They were villainized after the come up of Christianity.

I always have believed there is a higher power. Some name it Allah, others Moses, other Dias etc. Doesn't matter, it's one God above us. Actually contrary to what many want you to believe the Ancient Greeks didn't have "12 Gods" but 12 (and much much more) expressions of DIVINITY. Metaphors and symbolisms.

Hermes Trismegistus has written everything about "manifestation". Others just repackaged it. Some help us understand the concept and others just want to make a quick buck.

All people have some primal needs. Connection and love. Money and wealth. Wanting to be beautiful and powerful. Some people prey on that and, in my opinion, the self-improvement industry will only keep on growing.

The concept of twin flames can be found being expressed by Socrates in the dialogue "Symposium" by Plato :

“Now, since their natural form had been cut in two, each one longed for its own other half, and so they would throw their arms about each other, weaving themselves together, wanting to grow together...

This, then, is the source of our desire to love each other. Love is born into eve­ry human being: it calls back the halves of our original nature together; it tries to make one out of two and heal the wound of human nature.

Each of us, then, is a ‘matching half’ of a human whole, because each was sliced like a flatfish, two out of one, and each of us is always seeking the half that matches him."

Sidenote: Obviously I used only two snippets of the dialogue. Socrates' stance on homosexuality and other matters of love can be found in there and it is a good read. It will definitely show you that some concepts have been around since humans walked on this earth.

Moving on, I want to give you some tips on how to best use astrology and tarot/oracle cards as TOOLS to better yourself.

1. First try them yourself.

Don't let others dictate how you see astrology and tarot. Go online and search up your birth chart on astroseek or visit the Light Seer's Tarot/Muse Tarot website which has an incredible pick a card feature.

Don't contact an astrologer or tarot reader before familiarising yourself with the tools and "taking the magic out" of them.

2. No one and mean NO ONE can predict the future 100%.

In our lives there are moments who seem synchronized. They make you believe in fate. I do believe that God intended for us to live through some things but I also absolutely believe in FREE WILL. I always say that to clients especially those who have tarot readings.

Tarot and astrology can help you see the paths laid in front of you. They help you dive in your unconscious mind. Don't let anyone fool you that they are magical and whatever the cards say can not change.

3. If you purchase a reading don't purchase a love/romance one at first.

Don't get me wrong. I love love and romance. I love doing love readings. They are sweet and sexy.

BUT. Even in my love readings I incorporate a "general energy of you" for the person. I do that cause I want to show to my client, who trusted me and chose me that a tarot reader can be vetted.

Sadly even with PAC readings I can see that the romance ones are read and reposted way more than ones that assist with personal development. I try to keep a balance and do both.

The thing is a good tarot reader, astrologer even a therapist or a fitness trainer want to help you become INDEPENDENT. I don't want you to keep coming back and purchase love readings about your ex.

It's toxic. I won't accept that.

4. You are perfect the way you are.

Telling you that "yeah, you have an issue right here and it can be fixed by doing so and so" is okay.

Telling you that "YOU SHOULD LOVE YOURSELF. YOU DON'T LOVE YOURSELF THAT'S WHY YOU WON'T FIND LOVE UNTIL YOU DO THAT" is toxic. People control you this way.

It's like saying give me more money. Ask me how I can make you LOVABLE.

Your other half won't cheat, manipulate or make you feel awful. Your ex who was an asshole is not your Twin Flame.

Light up the flame within and love out your dreams. You will attract people who will adore and love you by being AUTHENTIC.

Anyone that abuses you and puts your flame out should GO.

5. All big corporations prey on your weaknesses & Do not trust anyone who tells you they are the only ones that can set you free or solve your issues.

Be disciplined. Control yourself and your mind. Read "The 48 Laws Of Power" and other books on influence and manipulation. Learn how narcissists and cult leaders operate.

All big companies do not sell you products (I will probably post this part by itself too).

They sell you emotions, feelings, status. BMW doesn't sell cars, it is selling power and prestige and confidence.

Nike doesn't sell shoes and shirts, it is selling dreams of being powerful and different, of making it in the jungle, of WINNING.

But there are some companies which I'M NOT GOING TO MENTION by name who influence you by breaking you down. Astrology apps that send you negative predictions about your day to make you anxious so you will check back every single hour. Cult like influencers who sell "How to get rich quickly" courses that cost thousands of $ and offer no value.

Be careful. Be prepared. Be strong and firm.

I hope everyone who was taken in this cult (wait ! myy username is the siren cult, lol) can find peace and the power within them.

Make sure that you are taking care of your body and your mental health, some of you could deal with some issues relating to your health in the near future, if you don’t pay extra attention to what your body is trying to tell you. Take time away from your work, to check in with yourself and a take care of your needs. Some of you could also deal with anxiety, depression, or other mental illnesses that may/will have an impact on your overall health and on your studies if you don’t take care of yourself first and manage to find balance between yourself & school.

general message • 🎓

Balance is needed when it comes to your school life. You need to know when to work and when to stop to have some fun.

However, I do see the universe will be blessing you with new friends to replace the old ones that were removed from your life, so no need to stress. I see you will have more fun and more in common with this person or these group of people than in your previous friendships. If some of you are into the occult/mysticism , i see you finding friends that are interested in the occult or share your interests. grades & academics • 🎓

Some of you could be majoring in law or something dealing with lots of writing and reading, so you will be doing a lot of writing and researching in terms of school.

For some, you guys could have periods of discouragement and you are being asked to have faith that your circumstances & luck will change around for the better. Believe in yourself because great things are coming to you soon. 

general message • 🧠

Have you forgotten all the reasons of why you decided to further your education. I feel like some of you are currently bored with school or you feel a lack of purpose/motivation to fully commit to school this time around. You are being asked to rediscover why you decided to go to school and figure out if this is what you want to do long term because only you know what’s feel right for you, and only you can make that decision. Right now, you are to focus on the negative aspects of school and you aren’t considering the positive aspects of school. If you continue to look at school from a pessimistic view, it will soon begin to affect your work and you will begin to procrastinate and slack off, so try to change your outlook and attempt to change you mindset and perspective to something more positive. Remember that success doesn’t happen overnight, it usually takes a lot of effort, hard work, patience, and determination to make it to the top and to remain there.

social life • 🧠

Some of you could be the leader in your group of friends. You are the person that everyone comes to for advice or when they are in need of support because your friends may view you as wise, trustworthy, and great meditators/listener. There will likely be some sort of conflict in your friend group that will require you to assess the situation, make sure that you are listening to both sides and taking in consideration of everyone’s feelings, needs, and wants before coming to a decision. You could also find yourself reconnecting with friends from you past, if you are open to receiving them again, just make sure to set healthier boundaries with each other.

grades & academics • 🧠

Some of you could be foreign exchange students or you could be studying abroad, I channeled the Middle East or Africa. In terms of your academics, Your classes may become much more rigorous and the work load is tedious, so you will be having a hard time with school and it will be weighing on you. Your work load will likely increase or you have more responsibilities than you had before. You could be majoring in something that requires lots of writing or you will be expected to write a lot this upcoming school year. You are being encouraged to ask for help and support, if you begin to become too overall. Start by dividing your responsibilities by working and focusing on assignments that are far more important first, then work on the tasks that less tedious at a later time. You must focus on staying balance and taking more time out for yourself because you will experience periods of being burnt out and stressed out from overworking & overextending yourself to the point of exhaustion. Whenever you are feeling burnt out, you should to take a break and put time aside to prioritize & reward yourself for the work that you do complete regardless if it was only a little work. You may want to give up, but things will get better because you are almost at the finish line, so keep going no matter how challenging things may be at the moment, your hard work will eventually pay off. Create a schedule for your school work or try to tackle three task per day to help ease the load off of your back. Remember to work smarter, not harder!

overview • 🧠

I see you hanging in there and eventually things will turn in your favor, however, this will require you to change up your routine, take risks, and to have tunnel vision to make it through the school year. You will be able to conquer any challenges that may be in your path, you just have to stay focus and keep your eyes on the prize. Make sure that are studying and you are being your own motivator, you don’t need to always get motivation or inspiration from others. Take time to sit with yourself and contemplate what you envision yourself in the future and the goals that you want to achieve in the near future. Make a game plan and stick to it and make sure to cut out any distractions as you go within.

Are you have the strength and willpower to achieve everything that you desire, even when obstacles are in your path. Ask yourself these questions because this define the next step in your path and determine if you will succeed in the end.

general message • 🏆

Like I state above, you have a lot of goals and plans for the future as it pertains to school. All the hard work and focusing on the bigger picture will eventually pay off in the near future because you will be able to celebrate the fruits of your labor. By staying focus and dedicated to fulfilling and reaching your goals, you will be able to overcome any obstacle that stands in your way. Don’t lose focus of your dream because it will open many doors and windows of opportunities for you in the near future. The future looks very bright for you. The time for planning is over, it’s time for you to take action to grow and expand.

social life •🏆

you will find yourself making friends with people that are older than you or who are very mature for their age. Some of you could even join a club or decide to pledge which will help you gain connections and open the doors for you in terms of school and your future career. These friends of yours will have similar goals and aspirations as you, and you can expect them to be very supportive, trustworthy, loyal, and keep you grounded. These are connections that can last for years and people that you can confide in, or even ask for help when are struggling, they will give you sound advice and help along the way.  This person will likely be a masculine energy, or embodies a lot of masculine energy regardless of their gender.

grades & academics • 🏆

You will have a lot of responsibilities coming into the school year because you simply cannot grow or achieve your goals, if you don’t struggle along the way. You will be expected to  work together & collaborate with others, so be open to others opinions and ideas because you can really learn from other people’s input. Some of you could be very stubborn and dismissal when it comes to work with others and this is not a good trait to have if you expect to be successful. You guys are really intelligent, but other people are also intelligent and you should give them chance to share their ideas and intelligence with you instead of being overly critical and independent. Let others have a chance to lead for a change. It’s okay to do things out of the box sometimes, everything isn’t always black and white. Consider it as a different and new way of getting closer to your goals. You grades will be fine as long as long as you learn to work with others and stay on top of your work. 

overview • 🏆

You can possibly met a fire sign or earth sign masculine or feminine that can serve as a mentor to you and help you during your school journey. This person is well connected and has a lot of experience and knowledge to offer if you are willing to listen and learn from him/her. For others, you will be successful in your endeavors as long as you don’t doubt your abilities. If you see an opportunity, you should go for it without a doubt. Focus on building connections with people and networking to gain more opportunities and new learning experiences to get your foot through the door and closer to achieving your goals. Always be ready to be adaptable and ready to shift to the next thing if things or plans do change. Don’t get discouraged nor get anxious, trust that things will always work out in your favor, even if you don’t have all the answers.

What I Have Learned As An Ex-Occultist, Now Reformed Christian

(Let's Discuss Some Trends)

I studied and practiced various forms of occultism for over 13 years. I also professionally taught a course on energy work to people. I have dedicated a bit portion of my life to understanding the ways of the universe. Here is what I have learned and how there are some misconceptions and confusion surrounding Christian vs Witches argument. I hope this enlightens you. This comes from a place of education and personal experience.

In an age of uncertainty, people crave meaning. They search for purpose, identity, and control over their lives in a world that often feels chaotic. Many turn to ancient spiritual practices, astrology, tarot, manifestation, numerology, and even modern psychology-based tools like personality typing in an attempt to find answers. These beliefs, once considered fringe or mystical, are now seamlessly woven into everyday life—showing up on social media, in wellness spaces, and even among those who identify as Christian.

But where does the Bible stand on all of this? Are these practices simply misunderstood, natural, and even compatible with faith? Or is there something deeper happening?

This isn't just about listing what is "allowed" or "forbidden." It’s about understanding the why—the real spiritual and natural implications behind these practices, the scientific truths intertwined with them, and the biblical framework that helps us discern what is of God and what is not.

Astrology: Are the Stars Really Speaking?

Astrology is one of the most socially accepted spiritual practices today. It isn’t just about daily horoscopes anymore—it has been rebranded as a tool for self-reflection and personal growth. Many claim that astrology isn’t about divination but rather about understanding oneself through planetary influence. After all, science confirms that celestial bodies affect nature—the moon influences the tides, solar cycles impact the earth—so why wouldn’t the stars influence human behavior?

The Bible acknowledges that stars have purpose. Genesis 1:14 states that God created them as “signs and for seasons.” The Magi followed the Star of Bethlehem to find Christ. But there is a difference between recognizing the order of creation and believing that celestial positions dictate human identity or fate. The issue with astrology isn’t just about the mechanics of the universe—it’s about where we place our faith.

Isaiah 47:13-14 speaks directly to astrologers, calling their wisdom powerless. The fundamental problem with astrology is that it shifts trust from the Creator to the creation, making the stars a source of guidance rather than God. The Bible teaches that true wisdom comes from God alone, not from patterns in the sky. It is not the existence of cosmic order that is problematic, but rather the belief that human destiny can be written in the stars rather than in God’s hands.

Some argue that astrology is simply another tool for self-reflection, much like psychology. But psychology, at its core, is based on human observation—while astrology is based on an ancient spiritual belief system that attributes power to celestial forces. Understanding personality and behavior through science is not the same as interpreting planetary alignments as divine guidance.

Numerology and Angel Numbers: Messages or Misinterpretations?

It’s easy to see why people find meaning in repeating numbers. There is something undeniably mysterious about looking at the clock at exactly 11:11 or seeing 444 everywhere you go. Even in Scripture, numbers hold significance—seven symbolizes completeness, twelve represents divine authority, forty is a number of testing. God clearly uses numbers with purpose.

But biblical symbolism and numerology are not the same thing. The Bible never suggests that numbers carry hidden messages meant for personal guidance. When God speaks, He does so through His Word, the Holy Spirit, and conviction—not through secret number sequences.

The problem with numerology and angel numbers is not the recognition of patterns, but the belief that these patterns hold personal, supernatural guidance apart from God. This is where it overlaps with divination—the attempt to extract meaning from creation rather than the Creator. Romans 1:25 warns against worshiping creation rather than the Creator, which is the core issue at play. Recognizing patterns in life can be natural, but attributing spiritual authority to them can become a distraction from true faith.

Tarot, Mediums, and Psychic Readings: What Power is at Work?

Tarot cards have exploded in popularity, with many claiming that they are not a form of divination but rather a tool for self-reflection. Even those who do not believe in spirits or the supernatural use them as a way to access their subconscious. But despite the modern rebranding, tarot has its roots in divination—an attempt to seek knowledge beyond natural means.

The Bible is explicit in its warnings about divination and communication with spirits. Deuteronomy 18:10-12 lists these practices alongside sorcery and witchcraft, not because the rituals themselves hold power, but because they open doors to spiritual deception. Many psychics and tarot readers claim to receive messages from spirit guides, yet 2 Corinthians 11:14 warns that even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. Even if one does not actively seek out supernatural entities, engaging with tools that have been historically used for spirit communication creates an invitation for deception.

If guidance is what one seeks, the Bible offers an alternative—James 1:5 states that if anyone lacks wisdom, they should ask God, who gives generously to all. The issue is not the desire for knowledge, but where that knowledge is sourced from.

Spirit Guides, Ancestors, and Energy Work: Who Are You Really Communicating With?

Many spiritual traditions emphasize the importance of connecting with ancestors, spirit guides, or higher beings. The belief is that these entities provide wisdom, protection, and insight into life’s challenges. Yet, the Bible presents a clear stance: Ecclesiastes 9:5 states that the dead have no part in earthly matters, and attempts to communicate with them result in deception rather than enlightenment.

This isn’t to say that honoring one’s ancestors is inherently wrong—many cultures carry traditions that respectfully remember those who have passed. But when communication is attempted, or guidance is sought from them, the line between remembrance and spiritualism is crossed. Scripture warns that the only mediator between humanity and the spiritual realm is Jesus Christ (1 Timothy 2:5). Any other form of communication leaves room for forces that disguise themselves as benevolent but are anything but.

Chakras, Energy, and Crystals: Natural Science or Spiritual Influence?

It is undeniable that the human body operates on energy. Electrical impulses run through our nervous system, and frequencies affect our environment in ways science can measure. However, the spiritualized concept of energy work—balancing chakras, aligning vibrations, or using crystals for protection—moves beyond science into the realm of faith in unseen forces apart from God.

The Bible does not deny that herbs, minerals, and even frequencies have natural effects on the body. Psalm 104:14 states that God provided herbs for mankind, and modern medicine confirms that many plants have healing properties. The issue is not in the materials themselves, but in the belief that they carry spiritual power. If one turns to crystals for healing rather than prayer, or trusts in chakras rather than in God’s design for the body, the focus has shifted away from the Creator.

Manifestation: Can You Speak Reality into Existence?

Manifestation, or the belief that thoughts and words shape reality, has become one of the most common spiritual teachings today. It claims that by focusing on desires with enough intensity, one can attract those desires into existence. While it is true that mindset and belief affect actions—science shows that confidence, optimism, and perseverance impact outcomes—manifestation teaches something deeper: that individuals have the power to create their own reality through intention alone.

The Bible teaches that only God speaks things into existence. Genesis 1:3 states that God said, “Let there be light,” and it was so. Manifestation takes this divine power and applies it to humans, implying that faith in oneself is more powerful than faith in God. Proverbs 19:21 reminds us that, “Many are the plans in a person’s heart, but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails.”

There is a difference between taking action with faith and believing that one’s own thoughts dictate the future. The first aligns with biblical wisdom; the second borders on idolatry of self.

Seeking Truth in a World of Spiritual Noise

It is natural to seek meaning, identity, and understanding. Many of these practices appeal to deep human desires for guidance, self-discovery, and control. But the core question remains: Where are we placing our faith?

The Bible does not ask us to reject knowledge, nature, or science. It asks us to discern—is this practice leading us closer to God, or is it placing trust in something else?

The world offers many voices. But only one leads to truth.

I just need to write and proof read it and then it’s ready to get posted! If you want to request topics please follow this post on how you can do it. Next week will be a career related PAC. You are still able to make your vote and request your favorite readings. I am so excited, can’t wait to hang out with you more 😊😊😊

Rahdue's Wheel is one of the few Tarot spreads that uses all the cards in the deck. It's very involved and can take about 3-4 hours to complete, especially the first time you attempt it.

Rahdue’s Wheel was first published in Tarot: Handbook for the Journeyman by Eileen Connolly, although she implied that it was around before then. This Tarot spread is meant to help the querent or client access past-life insight and inner wisdom. Connolly recommended Rahdue’s Wheel as an alternative to meditation for people who struggle with meditation.

I’ll tell you what, the work really fucking pays off. After all the battles, all the struggle, taking the pain and alchemizing it to create a healthier, fulfilling lifestyle just for myself; it’s so worth it. Manifestation paired with healing is one of the best things everrrrrrr. You know that feeling when you realize you’re living one of your desired manifestations? 🥹(this emoji is so fucking funny) Got me like damnnnn it’s better than I imagined! That also being something I manifested! Almost everyday, I get a sudden rush of “oh this is actually happening” like my dreams are actually coming true. The past few months it’s been me cultivating and doing the work to heal, to make my visions come true and recently it’s been just confirmation after confirmation, there’s no doubt that I’m on my highest and desired timeline, how every dream no matter how wild (nothing is ever too crazy or too much, you can and will have it all) it is, it’s all now in my tangible space.

A few examples:

I wanted to go to the beach? Of course, and it happened at a five star hotel on a private beach in literal paradise (Krabi, Thailand)!

I wanted to travel, I ended up having the best vacation I’ve ever been on for almost two months ♥︎

I wanted more jewelry? Spent over 400 at Swarovski on pieces that I love, and was gifted a 14k golden ring from my mother that I always get compliments on.

I wanted to pick up sewing, so of course the day I go to buy my first sewing machine I meet my, now good friend, and sewing teacher who teaches me for free.

Literally who I am now is what I wanted to be last year. This all happened to me before I even truly believed this could happen to me because I practiced everyday.

Lastly, I wanted to sing in public. I didn’t know how it was gonna happen but I knew it was. At the hotel I previously mentioned, there was a live music day and I didn’t know it was happening until my family told me, so I thought, “this is my chance!” And yes, it was! I walked into the restaurant with good energy and the lead singer invited me to sing and dance with her!

All this to say, I really want you to know it’s real. This shit can happen, of course it can. So put in that work, love! In my experience, the most fulfilled you can go about this is to heal and find the healthiest and best things for you and only you. It can be hard but once you see little things you wanted start to roll in and then they gradually get bigger and bigger and before you even understand it, you’re living the life you’ve always wanted. With my whole heart, I believe in you. I’ve come to the point where this is just a no brainer, I am rooting for you and I can’t wait to see you get to that point too! I hope this post does not come across as egotistical because showing off is truly not what I am trying to portray. The universe does not care for what you want, it’s gives you your thoughts, words, and commitments. What are you committing to right now that is limiting you? Also, IF THE OPPORTUNITY OR EXPERIENCE HASN’T PASSED YET, DON’T ACT LIKE YOU CAN’T HAVE IT!! Everything given to the earth is specifically made for the beings on earth, of course you deserve it.

with love, koolkidkook (๑>◡<๑)♥︎

“Once when we were going to the place of prayer, we were met by a female slave who had a spirit by which she predicted the future. She earned a great deal of money for her owners by fortune-telling. She followed Paul and the rest of us, shouting, “These men are servants of the Most High God, who are telling you the way to be saved.” She kept this up for many days. Finally Paul became so annoyed that he turned around and said to the spirit, “In the name of Jesus Christ I command you to come out of her!” At that moment the spirit left her. When her owners realized that their hope of making money was gone, they seized Paul and Silas and dragged them into the marketplace to face the authorities. They brought them before the magistrates and said, “These men are Jews, and are throwing our city into an uproar by advocating customs unlawful for us Romans to accept or practice.” The crowd joined in the attack against Paul and Silas, and the magistrates ordered them to be stripped and beaten with rods. After they had been severely flogged, they were thrown into prison, and the jailer was commanded to guard them carefully. When he received these orders, he put them in the inner cell and fastened their feet in the stocks. About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the other prisoners were listening to them. Suddenly there was such a violent earthquake that the foundations of the prison were shaken. At once all the prison doors flew open, and everyone’s chains came loose. The jailer woke up, and when he saw the prison doors open, he drew his sword and was about to kill himself because he thought the prisoners had escaped. But Paul shouted, “Don’t harm yourself! We are all here!” The jailer called for lights, rushed in and fell trembling before Paul and Silas. He then brought them out and asked, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?””

ASTROLOGY ON : HOW TO FIND YOUR PURPOSE

by @thesirencult

Purpose. A heavy word. Some argue we have a purpose and others that we come here as visitors and our path is not predestined.

I'm one of those that believe we have multiple paths ahead of us and with each choice we make they narrow down. I also would argue that our purpose is more of an inner compass and how we approach things, not what we do.

If someone's purpose is to heal then they can heal others through writing music, by teaching martial arts to abused individuals or by being a doctor.

Through that prism I will be exploring purpose through our chart. This is a general guide and if you want a personal reading just contact me. But I believe this essay can help you connect the dots by yourself !

1. The Big 3

Whatever I analyze as an astrologer I first look at the Sun, Moon and ASC. They are out foundation.

A fiery Moon in Aries, along with A Scorpio Sun and Sagittarius ASC would still gravitate to martian themes and have a fighter/survivor/champion's spirit.

2. Mars

Mars can show what drives us. What we are willing to fight for. We can look at Mars and its location in the chart to see what/who gets us going and how/where.

Mars in Sagittarius in the 2nd house can make you great at multiplying money. You are a great value investor in general and have ethical awareness. A Mars in Scorpio in the 6th will channel that spirit mostly towards physical activities. That person would make a great military figure or a rough trainer pushing people to their limits consistently and teaching others self perseverance.

3. Sagittarius/Jupiter + Pisces/Neptune

Another great indicator for me. Where you are a teacher and where you give without expecting anything back in return.

4. MC

Your highest sense of purpose. What you believe people should work towards. What you invest in. A Leo MC works for glory and pride. It doesn't come out of a place of superficiality, as the ASC is in Scorpio, but from a place of what they place on a pedestal.

4-10 axis can show how we are in the house and what we want to look like on the outside.

5. N.Node + S.Node

South is what you are a master of and North what you strive to master in this lifetime. Their location in the chart can show where you start off and where you are supposed to get to.

A S.Node in Capricorn in the 3rd house shows that a person is very good at mental tasks. They have mastered the Mercurial arts and can use that as their starting point to build up. A Capricorn South Node can also indicate Saturnian themes in early life, of isolation and being "more mature" than our age.

If we experience and accept the lessons we will be moving towards our purpose. Isolation will make us soft on the inside with strong boundaries like a crab. We will love those who share our values and have a philosophical spirit and a free minded attitude.

Our ability to focus on details at first will turn us into great visionaries as we evolve. Great historians, entrepreneurs and strategists exhibit these characteristics.
