On hiatus. Please read the pinned post before messaging. Tip jar 💙

[charmesque]

Hello and welcome! I'll be using this blog to explore tarot. I've dabbled for many years but find it more motivating to stay consistent when working with others, and so would like to offer card pulls and readings for fun and practice.

This will be a casual endeavor, and I will give readings as I am able. Current plan:

☆ My ask box will be open for tarot queries (roughly) Tuesday through Friday, and I will respond to what I can. I will clear my inbox at the end of the week.

☆ Unless you specify you'd like a private reply, I will publish my responses.

☆ I am more likely to answer open-ended questions that explore the psyche or encourage self-reflection. These sorts of queries align better with my philosophy of tarot and divination, and I find them better to work with. As a personal preference, I don't like readings that claim to mind-read or subvert the agency of anyone involved. My thoughts about predictive readings are developing, but I am currently open to performing them depending on the query. These are examples of good questions:

What should I focus on right now in my work?

How can I improve my relationship to [x]?

What is the best approach to [a situation]? / What do I need to consider when it comes to [x]?

Whereas questions like these are less likely to be answered:

Will [this specific thing] happen? / How likely is [x]?

Does [someone] like me? / How does [someone] feel about me?

How many cats will I adopt next month?

☆ I'll specify what kind of reading(s) I'm doing when I post that I am open for queries.

☆ If all goes well, I may consider opening commissions for guaranteed, more in-depth readings.

☆ Feedback is always greatly appreciated! If my readings are helpful and insightful for you, I'd love to know! I hope they are. And if a reading doesn't really click, that's useful for me to know too!

Thanks for joining me! I'm excited to see how this goes.

Hello :) hope all is well with you. If you are still accepting requests, I would like to participate in your 1 card pull for September. There’s a guy at work that I’ve developed a bit of a crush on. I’ve had small readings about his feelings for me in the recent past and pretty much all of them stated his feelings for me were mixed without much elaboration on how. Although from what I’ve deduced, it seems like he’s maybe physically attracted to me but not so much romantically. If possible, may I please ask how our relationship might develop this month. I might be getting a new job soon (hopefully😞) and want things to advance between us before I quit this one so hopefully something can start up outside of work after I quit maybe :) sorry for the ramble, thank you in advance if you choose to respond. Totally fine if not, have a nice day :)

Five of Swords reversed

This could mean a turning point or a reconciliation. Perhaps some truths will come to light. This card also suggests leaving something behind, letting go of a source of stress or tension, and finding acceptance. Changes in your life -- perhaps job-related, as you've described -- will lead to greater clarity and understanding.

Hi I am R!

Lately everything feels very heavy, like I have to drag my feet forward. I am having to use a lot of energy and still not seeing progress. What is going on? Why does this stretch feel so heavy and am I making any real progress?

Thanks

Oh, I feel this for sure. I think a lot of us are going through it.

I drew the King of Swords. We might take this to mean you've been somewhat stuck in your head, or feeling overburdened with responsibilities and decision-making. You may also be unfairly judging yourself, struggling with perfectionism or burdening yourself with expectations of what you "should" be capable of.

I'm sure you know nothing is permanent and this heavy stretch won't last forever. Be kind and patient with yourself, and if there is anything you can do to lighten your mental load, by all means do. Turn to the people you trust for support, maybe talk things through with them. Try and give yourself permission to let go of internal pressure.

hi! i hope you're doing well. would love a once card reading if possible. what is a concrete way in which i can start healing my relationships with my family? thank you so much. have a great rest of your day! - gk

Two of Pentacles

Balance, priorities, and conscious decision-making. Start small. Pragmatically, figure out if there is one particular issue that is most important -- or most feasible -- to address. From there, consider what practical actions you can take. Understand there will be ups and downs, and that progress will require adaptability and change. A Two, being at the beginning, means there is a long road ahead; but Twos also speak of partnership and harmony, so consider this a good sign.

thank u so much!!!! i'll be keeping this in my mind <3 its kind of funny but i was offered a job that will clash with my semester </3 so i'm gonna try and work tht out but thank u so much!!!!! i appreciate all that u have done!

Of course! 🥰 Thanks for your kind reply, and best of luck!

[charmesque]

HELLOO!! i’m hb, if u don’t mind i’d love to ask a question 😊 i’m about to have a pretty tough academic sem this fall & it’s also my last (unfort i have a family trip for almost a month in there too), what do i need to do to be better in this time around especially with all these obstacles that keep growing day by day! what would i guess be the best way for me to able to evaluate this and come out with positive results! thank you it would mean the world to me to hear some advice ⭐😊

Nine of Wands reversed

It's your last semester, so it makes sense that a Nine shows up -- so very close to the finish line! The advanced numbers of the Wands suit are also very much about effort, even struggle. This card reminds you to honor your boundaries. Don't push yourself so hard that you burn out. Make sure you have the right resources and support. Take breaks and let things go when you need to. Also acknowledge how hard you've worked! Recognize that what you've done, and what you continue to take on, is difficult. It makes sense to be tired, so give yourself grace and protect your energy as best you can.

Hi, it's K and I'd like to thank You so much Charm for Your answer ❤️ It's definitely the hardest thing for me not to indenify with my fears and worries. I constantly trying to separate my thoughts and reality form emotions and feelings but anxiety can really blur the border and make it complicated to tell what is only fear and what is real. I'll do my best for being courageous and I'll do more work with recognizing my feelings and affrimation that they're only feelings. Once again thank You for Your uplifting reading ❤️ All the best to You Charm! ❤️

You're so welcome, I'm glad the reading spoke to you and I wish you well!

[charmesque]

Hi Charm! I'm W.

I would like to know how I could be more open to love and romantic connections? This seems to be a recurring message in my tarot readings, but I cannot figure out what's up.

I feel I am desirable physically but not energetically. Which leads to guys crushing on me yet keeping a distance.

Thank you!! ❤

The Sun

Optimism, happiness, gratitude. Illumination, as well -- being able to see what's present and true. Nurture the light inside of you, broaden your intentions and choose to do what brings you contentment and joy for the sake of it -- for you. That inner light will radiate out into other aspects of your life, including your relationships and romantic connections.

[charmesque]

hi, I saw that you were doing card pulls, and I’d like to ask what’s in store for me or the general theme of my life in the next few months! thank you!- V

Four of Swords reversed

Finding balance and stability, especially when it comes to your thinking and beliefs. This card encourages stillness and rest, and its reversed position indicates a particular need for it. Find the mental sanctuary to recuperate from stresses and decision fatigue. Think of this as a necessary recovery period. Let it be a time of reflection and recalibration, as opposed to stasis and avoidance.

[charmesque]

hey, how are you?

what can I expect from my first relationship? will it be a long-term relationship?

I don't know if two questions are allowed. if not, answer whichever one you prefer.

I'm ef

Ten of Pentacles

A lovely card! It suggests fulfillment, security, and the flourishing of something built on strong foundations. It also encourages you to stay grounded; to understand yourself, your roots and values; and to keep in mind the bigger picture. Tend a garden with care, and it will sustain you. Steady, patient effort becomes an investment toward future happiness.

I can't say with confidence how this might tie into your questions about a future relationship, but maybe you're able to take this interpretation and apply it to your situation in a way that is useful!

[charmesque]

hi there, i'd love a 1 card tarot for sept if that is ok! :)

i recently got a job interview at a law firm that if i get would help me kick-start my career immensely, i just wanted know if it would go well or will this be another life lesson of delays for me! any advice would also be lovely! thank you for ur generosity! <33

How exciting, congrats on the interview!

For your September, the card I drew was the Seven of Wands. This to me indicates a theme of persistence and resilience. It's a reminder to assert yourself, maintain your boundaries, and stand up for what you value. This is a card that suggests pressure and challenges, but it doesn't strike me as a discouraging message here. Perhaps it means that you are, or will be, in a position of accomplishment that you have worked hard to achieve, but that the hard work isn't over. Hold steady, and push on with conviction!

[charmesque]

Hii, how are you?? I'd like a general one card tarot reading for this week!

Thanks so much!! ❤️

Seven of Pentacles

Evaluation, rest. Pause to size up what you've accomplished so far so that you can continue with firm footing. There is still work to be done, but it is important to take the time to recognize and celebrate your existing progress.

[charmesque]

Hi! I'm K and I'd like to ask what is the best approach to my current situation at uni and letting go of my fears and worries surrounding topics of academia, studies, uni life etc? What do I need to consider when it comes to trying to let go of my fears and worries in that matter? Thank You ❤️

Oh my dear, I relate to this so much, you have no idea 🩵

The card I drew for you was the Knight of Swords. The imagery of the deck I'm using absolutely radiates determination, decisiveness, directness. You must actively choose to be courageous. The phrase "feel the fear and do it anyway" comes to mind. Recognize your feelings, observe them, appreciate them, but approach your challenges with the clear understanding that those feelings are simply an experience. Your actions, decisions, and beliefs may be informed by your emotions, yes, but these are all separate facets of the whole of you and can be disentangled. Try not to overly identify with your worries. The mental clarity of the Swords and the drive of the Knight will help you move through and forward. There may be difficulties ahead, but you are capable because you decide that you are ❤️‍🔥

All my best to you, K!

Readings week of Sept. 1st

(Update, Sept. 7th: I'll continue responding to asks I've already received this past week, but will be generally closed to new requests for now. Keep an eye out for the next round of readings!)

Just quick and simple one-card readings this week! Send me an ask if you'd like me to draw a card for you. It can be focused on a question if you would like to specify one. If you don't have a particular question, I will give a general, intuitive interpretation. Review the pinned post to understand what I do and what kinds of requests I am more likely to answer. Feedback and discussion always much appreciated!

hello again!

thank you so much for answering my question, i really appreciate it. the part about me trying to maintain j's interest is true. i do worry that he'll get bored of me or my physical appearance. i feel i always have to be and look perfect for him. kinda like a trophy. it's something i am working on. im happy he appreciates and sees me.

it seems like the overall message of this reading is to just relax and get out of my head. take everything day by day and develop the relationship organically. i'll try to show up as my most authentic self rather than an ideal version.

thank you again!! 💛

Thank you for your reply! 💙 I'm happy you found something useful in your reading. Your takeaway is quite a good one, and your groundedness and self-awareness here is an admirable quality that I'm sure will serve you well as you continue exploring this connection. I wish you the best!

[charmesque]

Hey, this is R.A.

I just wanted to thank you for doing my reading! Gave me clarity 🤍

You are so welcome, dear! I'm glad you found it helpful, and I hope for you all the strength and support you need going forward 💙

[charmesque]

Hi Charm!

Could I please have a free reading from you?

How can I improve my relationship to J? Spice up our connection a little bit.

Thanks! 💛

Six of Swords ☆ Page of Swords, Queen of Cups ☆ Tower, Nine of Cups, Three of Pentacles

First impressions:

Seeking, exploration, curiosity, insight ☆ upheaval, compassion, learning ☆ a balance of thoughts and emotions

According to these cards, J is a fundamentally curious and inquisitive person often motivated by a desire for truth and an appreciation for novelty. You admire these qualities, and they may in fact be what drew you to J in the first place!

You are a deeply feeling, caring and creative person and you desire a closer, more emotionally intimate connection. But how? You know it can't be forced, nor would you want it to be. Perhaps you worry about maintaining J's interest in some way. Don't fall into the traps of insecurity or think you have to prove anything -- J sees and appreciates you too. Know and share your authentic self, not what you think other people want to see.

It may be that a truth must be revealed, or something personal and vulnerable shared, to deepen the connection. You might learn something that changes your perception or understanding of things. This may bring up complex feelings or take some time to process, but ultimately will lead to clarity and a more solid foundation.

As for actionable advice: these cards encourage you to seek out new experiences. Learn things about each other, be open to surprises, and strengthen your relationship by creating memories together.

Thanks for your query, I hope this interpretation is helpful! Best of luck 🩵
