♒️☀️, ♋️🌙,♍️🌤️|A place to keep all of my astrology & and tarot posts and express my softness. I also run a small tarot shop if you'd like a reading. Thank you for visiting✨ linktr.ee/divinedoe
Hiiii guys! I've been debating for some time now on wether I should open up a full shop or to simply continue with my word-of-mouth clients (who I love and am very thankful for). I've been doing tarot consistently since 2020, but imposter syndrome has held me back in a lot of ways, from the shop, posting on here as often as I would like, and even putting my readings out in bigger ways (like on youtube).
But because of how receptive and supportive you've all been towards my readings, and as we enter the second half of the year, I'm forcing myself to be brave and go after all the things I want, and thus, we have my Buy Me A Coffee. My pick-a-card readings will continue to be free on here, but you can support me and my content by making a donation of any amount if you feel so generous, and you can also buy personal readings in my shop. There are many readings on there as of now, but I am still adding more, and they're divided into categories for easy navigation.
In the future, I'll launch a $5 membership with exclusive content, but for now, I hope you'll check the site out. From now until July 31, 2026, any purchase will come with a 25% coupon valid for the whole shop!

🫧˚˖🌷͙֒✧˚.🧚🏻♀️Pile 1: The Queen 👑
Hi Pile 1, you embody The Queen archetype. You probably feel an inner strength that drives you to take charge of your life. You're like that friend who always knows what to do in any situation, and most impressively, you trust your intuition to make decisions, even the most difficult ones. It's not that you always feel 100% confident, but you have something inside you that tells you you can do it, that you deserve the best, and that you're made for great things. Your presence may make others look at you with respect, even if you don't seek attention. You simply have something about you that projects confidence and power. People listen to you, not only because you have great ideas, but because your voice carries weight. You know your worth, and that's something you can't hide. It's not boasting; it's an inner truth. Sometimes, you love to surround yourself with beauty, with the exquisite, with what makes you feel good about yourself. Material things and luxurious experiences appeal to you, but it's not just for the pleasure they bring; you like the idea of elevating your surroundings, of having the best because you know you deserve it. Don't be alarmed if you sometimes feel a little alone in your path, because being a Queen sometimes means being in a leadership position where few understand what's going on in your head. But deep down, you relish that independence. You're not one to please everyone, because you know your path is unique and you're not held back by what others think. And no, it's not about being arrogant or believing yourself superior to others. It's about being aware of your own power, your ability to create your reality, knowing that whatever you touch can be transformed into gold. And if you ever doubt yourself, remember that being a Queen also means acknowledging your vulnerability and being true to yourself. True greatness lies in accepting all that you are.
🫧˚˖🌷͙֒✧˚.🧚🏻♀️Pile 2: The Mystic 🦄
Hi pile 1, you embody The Mystic archetype. Perhaps you're that person who always has an incredible intuition about things. Sometimes, you don't need proof or logical reasons to know something is true. You have that sixth sense that leads you to understand people or situations without them telling you directly. And the most incredible thing is that, when you follow those hunches, you're rarely wrong. It's not uncommon for you to be drawn to topics like spirituality, astrology, tarot, or even ancient philosophies. Perhaps you enjoy meditating, seeking inner peace, or simply connecting with something bigger than yourself. The feeling of being aligned with the universe, as if the cosmos is working in your favor, is something that fulfills you. And although you sometimes struggle to explain what exactly makes you feel so connected to everything, you know in your heart that this is your truth. You're not uncomfortable with the idea of being alone with your thoughts or your rituals. In fact, sometimes you prefer solitude because that's where you find clarity. People may not fully understand your concerns or the way you connect with the world, but that doesn't stop you. In your heart, you know the mystical path is yours, and it's okay that others don't understand. If you've ever had that feeling of being "in tune" with the universe, of feeling that coincidences aren't random and that everything has a purpose, perhaps you are one of the Mystics. And, of course, you don't have to have all the answers. Sometimes, the beautiful thing about being a Mystic is being comfortable with uncertainty, with the wisdom of knowing there is so much more to discover and that the truth is always evolving. You see the things others can't, you see the beauty in beyond what feels "normal"; that is really special pile 2 <3.
🫧˚˖🌷͙֒✧˚.🧚🏻♀️Pile 3: The Lover 💕
Hi Pile 3, you embody The Lover archetype. People see you as warm, welcoming, and empathetic. You have a natural ability to connect with others on a deep level, as if you can effortlessly see into people's souls. You're not afraid of vulnerability; on the contrary, you embrace it because you know that only when you show yourself as you are can you create true connections. In your world, authentic relationships are paramount, and you do your best to cultivate and maintain them. You live in a state of constant awe for the beauty of the world, and you're not ashamed to express what you feel, even if it means being vulnerable. Perhaps at times, you find yourself always searching for something that will ignite that spark of emotion, of intensity. You don't settle for the superficial, because you know that true magic lies deep within, in genuine connections that transcend words. And not just in relationships with others, but also in your relationship with yourself. You've realized that self-love is essential for everything else to flourish. And yes, you may sometimes feel a little lost in your emotions, as if your heart is guiding you down unpredictable paths. But that's what makes you unique: that ability to let yourself be carried away by what you feel. People often see you as someone capable of loving wholeheartedly, without fear of rejection, because you know that even in vulnerability there is strength. You're not afraid to give your best, even if it means exposing yourself to pain. And when you do, you do so with the certainty that life itself is worth living that way. This archetype is also related to sensuality,so maybe you enjoy the small pleasures: a good meal, a conversation, a walk at sunset, etc. You know how to enjoy life to the fullest, because you understand that love and enjoyment are what truly give flavor to everything. I love that pile 3 <3!

Gemini New Moon PAC (or a timeless reading for when you need a change🦋)
Hello hello, everyone! Today is the new moon in Gemini, and this lunar phase this intensifies curiosity, adaptability, and exploring fresh perspectives, and that is what these channeled readings are here to shed some light on for you. As always, reading are 1-4, going left to right. Take a deep breath, focus on a picture that calls to you, and find your corresponding reading below. If you like, please consider reblogging, leaving a comment, or giving me a follow to see more readings in the future!
𝐏𝐢𝐥𝐞 𝟏
5 of wands (#21: Disruption), inverted 3 of swords, 9 of wands (inverted The Chariot), inverted 2 of pentacles (inverted 4 cups)
(If this reading resonates, consider looking at pile 3 for further insights)
Group 1, the shift coming in for you is how you’ve received the uncomfortable parts of life. Whenever you have been met with unexpected pain, betrayal, conflict, loss, or upheaval; the weight felt like it was enough to crush you whole. You may have questioned what you’ve done to deserve this, reacted impulsively in retaliation, or retreated into yourself as a result, thinking that this is simply the narrative of your life, and all carry the foundational narrative that connection is unsafe. Your spirit guides are here to help you reframe and heal this cycle you’ve been in.
It’s time to approach these moments differently. A skill that is ready to bloom in your life is how you process and move forward after these moments. In conflict, instead of meeting fire with fire, try to maintain active listening and empathy. If met with loss, ask yourself if you truly wanted what you no longer have. You loved them, but were you getting what you needed in that relationship? You got fired or had to quit that job, but will you miss feeling drained or will this free up time for you to go after what you really want to do? Instead of operating from a place of lack or scarcity, take a moment to reflect on all sides of a situation. Instead of carrying the tally in the body, release any grudges and resentments (though you don’t have to forgive!). Honor your feelings, but don’t shut down or close your heart to new experiences.
Something that will support you in this work is first sitting with yourself when you’re in times of chaos to reassess your needs, goals, and boundaries; then express them boldly when you’re ready. Be honest about when you need time, if something doesn’t work for you and your thoughts on an alternative, and speak your side respectfully. Be vulnerable without stressing about how others will take it, and keep moving with your head held high. Changes take time, and even if there are set backs, don’t feel discouraged.
If your heart and mind have been calling for something different, an experience or activity that will benefit you in this new cycle is a going somewhere or doing any activity that allows you to reawakens your emotions and makes you feel inspired again. Think a yoga or sound bath class, a small trip to somewhere tranquil, or giving yourself time out in nature during sunrise/set. It’s time to clear the noise and start saying yes to life again in all its fullness.
𝐏𝐢𝐥𝐞 𝟐
Judgement (#6: Caution), Inverted The Chariot (inverted The Sun), Inverted 9 of swords (The High Priestess), 3 of cups
Group 2, this new moon is awakening the need for change in you. Even if you aren’t quite sure what you’re being called towards yet, there is a renewed since of motivation and purpose that you can’t ignore. You are sitting at the crossroads of where you are in life, and the only way to choose your correct path is to reflect and reassess. What choices did you make in the past, and how did they affect you? What role have you played in getting to and staying where you are now? What habits, internal monologues, and things are you accepting that are out of alignment with the life you’re dreaming of?
This may sound scary or harsh, but I feel you are a person who may feel so far away from where you’ve hoped that it has affected your confidence. It may feel like your life will never be what you want, that it doesn’t feel safe to try without a guaranteed outcome, that the cards of life dealt you a bad hand, or that maybe you’re just not good enough. By reflecting, we are able to see how just how much power we actually have to shape our lives, and when it comes to the things out of our control, we only need to take the time to shift gears. This will also strengthen your discernment and intuition. Less wrong turns will be taken when you know what didn’t go right before and what siimply feels…off, wether you can explain it or not. That job feels too good to be true? That contract has bad energy? Walk away and don’t look back.
Somewhere that you should express yourself more boldly is with your internal voice and how you talk to your guides! Doubt or self depreciating thoughts kicking in? Check it and counter it immediately. This does’t have to be met with positivity, but even a firm “stop” can interrupt a pending spiral. Talk out loud to your guides, higher self, or higher power about how you’re feeling, your dreams and fears, and ask for signs to confirm you’re heading in the right direction. Your work this lunar cycle is internal.
An experience that can support you in this time is being somewhere that you can connect with others and share joy. Think a meet up with friends, a group dinner, a block party or community gathering, a pride event (happy pride!!!), or even a creative space with good vibes. Remembering how good life can feel helps with getting out of our heads.
𝐏𝐢𝐥𝐞 𝟑
Justice (#14: Leadership), The Tower (Justice), The Emperor (inverted 3 of swords), Inverted 9 of pentacles
(If this reading resonates, consider looking at pile 1 for further insights)
Group 3, BAAAABY, when I say I could feel the karmic energy pulsing through this reading? Balance and justice are the two key words for this reading. Your guides want to let you know that if you’ve been questioning if it’s worth your while to always do the right thing, to be the upstanding one, to be considerate and to take everything graciously even though it feels as if others just get to do whatever they want with no repercussions, or that life is indifferent to your goodness; the answer is an emphatic “yes”. I know it’s hard not to feel frustrated, especially if you’re in a time where things feel like nothing is playing out in your favor, but it is essential that you continue to move according to your values. You are here to be a leader, someone who stays in their own lane that takes them higher than the rest, rather than following along with others. What you put out into the world will always come back to you. If you put out good, good will return in kind. If you put out ugliness, life will show you just how ugly it can get. No matter how others are acting, it’s important that you remain true to the person you carry yourself as.
A skill that is trying to emerge for you in this lunar cycle is to have faith in the face of disruption and upheaval. When unexpected things happen, it’s so easy for us to fall apart and become overwhelmed, but this time is asking you to embrace these moments and continue on with the belief that it’ll be sorted out in your favor. It’s difficult, but it can help to also receive these moments as opportunities for growth. Maybe it will give you a chance to reassess where you are, your desires, and be honest about what was or wasn’t working for you. Maybe it can be a time to shed beliefs or patterns that are no longer serving you. Either way, these moments are often for your highest good and to realign you with the path you’re meant to be on. When the unexpected comes, it is to clear the debris and to call in what has a place in your life. The universe knows what its doing, so continue as you have been and let the course be run.
For communication, this cycle wants you to take charge and be more intentional with yourself and others. Create rules for yourself, devise a plan for things you want to accomplish, make calculated moves for your future, set clear expectations and boundaries with others and uphold them, and speak up about what matters to you. Now, I don’t mean to do this like a dictator. Continue to speak and move with tact, but not with passivity. This isn’t the time to play small! Roll your shoulders back and step into the role of authority that life knows you can handle.
If you’ve been in need of a refresh, take some time in a space that allows you to drop any mask or artifice and helps you remember your true needs, what “success” and “abundance” mean to you. Take a trip somewhere that helps you reconnect with yourself and others in an organic way. A retreat, a trip or visit to a calm place, spend time in nature, or go somewhere comfortable but minimalist. Any place that can help you turn down the noise is what you need right now.

6 of cups (The Empress, #44: Limitation), Inverted High Priestess (The Moon), King of swords (queen of swords), 9 of cups
Group 4, I feel a lot of softness in your reading. I took your message in two ways, so hopefully either will resonate with you. On a spiritual level, you are being called to tap into your faith and inner wisdom. Instead of doubt, fear, or comparison, trust in the abundance the universe has in store for you. This is a time for growth, manifestation, and “birthing” new ideas into the world. The universe has so many blessing waiting for you to accept them, so instead of looking at what others have, go inwards and connect with the well of fortune inside of you.
On a career and financial level, you may feel disconnected from the work you’re doing. For some, you may need to explore new opportunities that align more with your values, passions, or interests. For others, you may be drawn to launching a new business, project, or product that is based around nurturing, reconnection, and slowing down. Trust in your inner voice and your own talents to guide you towards success, but don’t be afraid to ask for help or to seek out people with more experience than you. People will be happy to assist you with getting where you’re trying to go, and humility will carry you a long way.
A skill that is emerging for you in this cycle is your ability to heed your inner knowing and to use your emotions as a compass. Maybe you are someone who has trouble lacks faith in yourself, rely too heavily on external guidance, are disconnected from your intuition, or don’t hear your inner voice clearly. Because of this, you may keep finding yourself out of alignment even if you don’t know why. Sitting with yourself will become an important part of your evolution. Journaling, meditation, engaging with your dreams, or even paying attention to little twinges in your body will slowly become your guiding force and allow you to stop holding yourself back from your full self and what you truly want.
Something that can assist you on this path is communicating you thoughts, feelings, goals, and intentions directly and confidently. The king’s and queen’s energies encourages bringing facts and logic to the table while remaining morally upright and standing firm in your decisions. Be self-reliant where you can, and call on others when you understand your limitations. People will take your dreams seriously when you do too!
If you’ve been in need of a refresh, an experience you need right now is something that spoils you a bit. Something indulgent and that feels like a treat! A peaceful retreat, a destination you’ve always dreamed of going, a wine tasting, a spa or pampering day, or a charming restaurant with a price you would normally save for a big accomplishment. You deserve to celebrate yourself every so often, and this is one of those times. Don’t fret, the universe will replace any money spent (though don’t go too wild), so enjoy yourself for once.
And that concludes our readings! Thank you so much for taking out the time. What pile did you get, and did it feel relevant?

Hello everyone! Thank you for meeting me for another reading. Today is the blue full moon, and as it is ruled by Sagittarius and we move into the halfway mark of the year, I've been thinking a lot about truth and stagnancy, which inspired me to do this as a collective spread for anyone who may also feel stuck or unsure right now. This reading is timeless and will find you when you need it! As always, the readings are going left to right and 1-4 piles. If you enjoy or ressonate, please considering a like, reblog, and a follow if you'd like to see more.

The World, (Inverted) 3 of swords (XLII The Eel and Iris: Safety), (Inverted) Knight of wands, (Inverted) Knight of swords, #48 Success, Bottom of deck: (Inverted) The Tower
Note: “Successful” by Ariana Grande was playing in my head during your reading, and I take that as a good sign
Group one, your spread physically made me feel your hesitation. You have are struggling with fear of completion, feeling whole, and confused about your self-identity. There is the end of a cycle on the horizon, but for some reason, you are resistant to accept it. You may not feel like they’ve done enough yet, are healed enough, or apprehensive to know who you might be without the identity, plan, or narrative you’ve carried with you all this time despite no longer fitting in that narrow box.
The awareness you’re missing is how your avoidance of closure and resistance to processing pain is keeping you stuck, because it’s never let go, only suppressed. It’s somewhat ironic because though witnessing your pain in full seems too painful, that same pain might feel so familiar that it has been integrated into who you believe you are. But who are you really underneath that? Who have you forgotten?
Growth starts with remember the person that you made yourself stop being. You may have once had a larger than life personality or moved through life in a unconventional way (say your interests or ideas), but criticism and rejection made you believe that this part was “wrong” and needed to be quieted in order to blend in and avoid any further harm. This time asks you to understand that times have changed since then. You have so much more power now, and under the mask you’ve worn so tightly, your true self is hiding and eager to make its reappearance. It is time to step into your power, because its safe to be true now.
As you move forward, take time to look within and be honest with yourself about the things you’re dissatisfied with, what you want things to look like instead, and what steps or opportunities you can take to start moving towards the alignment that life wants for you. Your key to success is tied directly to your authenticity, so start with self honesty and begin to shed all artifice.

10 of swords (XLV: The Antelope and Wheat: Nourishment),(Inverted) 2 of wands, (Inverted) Ace of cups, 4 of cups, #10 Truth Bottom of Deck: Nine of swords
(If this resonates, maybe check out pile four for further insights)
Oh pile 2, come here so I can give you a hug. A betrayal or painful ending led you to your lowest emotional point, and it has damaged the optimism you may have once had. You lost the you who existed before that, and the trauma and emotional exhaustion has made you come to the conclusion that you’ll never fully recover because your relationship with hope has been severed. This pain is stored deep in the body and mind, the shadows of the experience follow you like a ghost, and you have internalized it as insecurity and self-doubt. Though you’ve continued moving through life—have you been living since then? You may have numbed yourself, are hypervigilant anytime something even remotely looks like it again, and you are afraid to trust anything, even your own discernment.
Because of this distrust, even though there is a voice inside you that is calling for more, you are afraid to take another risk. Thinking about long-term goals spurs up so many “what-if?”s. What if you try and it fails? What if you choose wrong and waste time with nothing to show for it all? What if the attempt to grow takes away what little you have now? There is a part of you that feels unworthy of taking up space and to think you deserve the things you want. Maybe even others have made you feel looked down upon or like the dreams you have for yourself are too trivial to take seriously. All these factors have compounded into a singular conclusion: staying comfortable feels safer until you have certainty. You fear the power of choice and almost wish there was someone who could just tell you what the right course is.
The only way to restore your confidence and faith is to face the emotions you’ve never fully allowed yourself to process, wether alone, with someone you trust, or with the guidance of a professional. I know the thought of sitting with what happened to get here may feel hard to imagine, but your pain is shackling you to the past while your future is waiting for you to break free. You are so much more than your worst moment, and in this season, you are being asked to shed and release this emotional attachment so you can move forward with a sound heart.
As you move forward, try to prioritize presence. It’s hard to see the beautiful things in front of us when we’re always looking back, and we can’t feel things like joy of contentment when we are trying not to feel anything at all. I want you to remember that you don’t have to suppress desire. You are allowed to want more. A better life, love, friends, opportunities. Anything you can imagine, you are worth it and more, so be honest with what you want and go for it! Instead of ruminating on what could go wrong, imagine what could go right. The self-defeating habits and depreciating thoughts no longer serve you.

Pile 3, please step out of the shadows for a moment. I see that your comfort zone is avoiding the spotlight. There seems to be a wound around being seen, whether due to self-comparison or previous shame. You may once have been really confident and never afraid to say things directly, but your outgoing nature was misconstrued as being difficult, attention-seeking, or dramatic; and you made yourself smaller as a result. For others, when you see people that you admire, especially successful people, you see everything that you believe you aren’t, leading to severe imposter syndrome and fear that you could never compete. Because of this, you never show just how much you can do or show others your unfiltered self, finding it safer to stay in the background or in the shadow of others.
A unresolved struggle you have is your relationship with confrontation and competitiveness. You may have a history with clashing with others (boy, do I relate to you here), struggle with feeling heard, or face internal conflict of always viewing yourself in relation to others. Something you are being called to do now is to unpack your wounds around communication and your right to exist in a space like anyone else. You don’t have to argue to be heard, you are allowed to protect your voice, and you don’t have to fight to have a seat at the table. People’s inability to see your point doesn’t make it wrong, and the success of others doesn’t mean there isn’t enough to go around.
To move forward, you should embrace the abundance around you that can be accessed through opening yourself up. Instead of envying others, why not get to know them or be curious about how they got to where they are? If you have something you want to put out into the world; your voice, thoughts, a project, an idea at work, be brave and let the creativity flow. Instead of arguing, heed the old adage that you catch more flies with honey than vinegar. Focus more on showing understanding, present your point with calm confidence, and take in that being heard isn’t the same as being right. You are in a season of growth and softness, and it’s time to put your guard down.
Remember as you do this work that a big part of the process isn’t simply action, but action that is supported by surrendering. Don’t do it with the hope of a specific outcome, but because it’s what feels right and that it’s a new experience. You never know what rooms you may end up in or how your life could change with a seemingly simple decision, but regardless, anything is more fulfilling than stagnancy.
Call all of the power that you dimmed back to you and see how easily things fall into place.

Note: “Pink + White” by Frank Ocean was in my head during this reading, so maybe go and give it a listen
(If this resonates, maybe look at pile 2 for further insight)
Oh, group 4, I genuinely related to this reading in my own way. For you, unlike the apathy and numbness found in group 2, your experiences have made you defensive and thorny around the edges. I feel like your inner critic is nothing short of a bully, and when painful memories or things your bitter about come up, instead of meeting it with compassion, you turn to speaking to yourself with cruelty. The things that have disappointed you have made you detach from your emotions under the guise of being “strong”, because letting yourself be vulnerable and honest about your feelings left you feeling dismissed, exposed, or embarrassed. You’ve compartmentalized those feelings and may be in denial about how much it has affected you without understanding how freeing it would be to simply say “that really hurt me”.
Something that you struggle with accepting is how much you want to belong with a collective or simply be truly known and seen in full. You may have a wound around friendship, groups, and interpersonal relationships. You may be think you’re comfortable being alone because you can’t disappoint or hurt yourself, but I need you guys to know that it’s okay to want a support system, people to turn to when you can’t see the light, to safely bare your soul to another, and to experience the things that connection can teach you about yourself. You can believe that you are healed when you’re only in your head, but the real work is found in one-on-one experiences. Humans are wired to be social creatures, and everyone deserves to have spaces they can depend on, including you.
To attain the community you want, though, it’s important that you not only process your unsolved grief and attachment to the past, but to also make peace with the potential impermanence of connection. Even though it’s sad, some people are here to span our entire journey with us while others are simply meant to get us through the brief time we have them, but the beauty is that we get to carry the people and the lessons they taught us as we continue on. Instead of meeting every loss as grief, instead be grateful for what you learned with them, and if it was someone harmful, thank the universe for removing someone who wasn’t in alignment with you and release them. You will never run out of love because it’s an ever replenishing resource inside of you, so give it freely and with no regrets, and know that what we put out in the world always returns to us in some form.
Above all, as you heal, pay attention to when you’re resorting back to old habits and thought patterns. While they feel safe because they’re all you’ve known until now, everything that feels familiar isn’t for your highest good. It’s okay to build a new foundation even if you can’t picture what that looks like just yet. Start slowly by gently acknowledging your inner critic and reframing the thought. Call your awareness back to the present when your mind starts drifting back to the past. Be progressively more vulnerable with others, even if it’s just something as small by saying you’re not doing well instead of defaulting to “I’m good” when asked how you are. A better reality is on the other side of the wall you’ve put around you.
And that concludes this week's reading! How are you feeling? I wish you guys so much success and I hope this reading helped to shed a little clarity. Again, if you like, a like, reblog, or comment is appreciated. Follow if you'd like to see more readings or DM me for a personal one!

what are you manifesting? + moodboard | pick-a-card
⟡ how to pick a pile: take a deep breathe, and pick the pile that you feel the most drawn to; you are welcome to choose more than one pile
this is a timeless, collective reading. tarot should be used as introspective tool for guidance not as pure fact, allow yourself to take what resonates only
pile one
three of swords, the high priestess, eight of cups, ten of wands, justice, & the world
Hello my angels, welcome to your pile one ♡ Before we start with the reading. I have to be honest there is some heaviness to this pile. But, don’t be scared, just know what you are manifesting is whole different life from the one you have lived up to now.
I feel a sense of overwhelming intensity in this pile, it’s like a solar eclipse. It’s full of transformation energy just flowing. Some would describe you as someone who never stays the same. You are like night and day. Someone who is constantly evolving, growing, and learning.
Like how during a solar eclipse the moon veils over the sun, you have struggled through some dark times. Moments where you felt numbed by the pain, lost, and silenced. You carried burdens that weren’t yours, had people use and betray you with their words and actions.
You have come a long way pile one, give yourself some grace. You gained immense strength and resilience from what you have gone through. And, I am here to tell you, it will get better.
As you grow to release the past and embrace your true self, you step closer to your manifestation. This is about purging the old identity and breaking out of the metal cage that once had kept you locked.
I see many of you going inward, doing deep inner work, spending time alone in your thoughts, and reflecting. When you learn to trust your inner world and self more, you come to realize that it’s not desire that is important but you.
This next chapter of your life you are manifesting full freedom. Freedom from the past. Freedom from repeating cycles. Freedom from being weighed down.
You’re not just manifesting a better life, you’re manifesting a completely new self.

pile two
page of wands, six of wands, king of swords, the lovers, knight of cups & the devil
Hello my angels, welcome to your pile two ♡ theres this rush of excitement I feel in my chest.
You’re embodying this irresistible, confident energy that is playful and flirty that says “I am chosen.” Perhaps, you are new to the concept of manifestation, or if not, I am seeing someone who is looking for a bit of an adventure. You could be going out more and trying new things during this time.
Even if you feel more introverted, I am noticing a lot of people being magnetized to your energy. You’re like a beacon of light. Many find you mesmerizing, in the sense that you are authentic. Some of you are really funny too, you say something and it just instantly lightens the mood of the room.
I believe a part of what you are manifesting my pile twos is being seen and recognized through love. I just feel this is about someone who use to be more closed off and then changed how they want to be perceived. As open as you are to connecting with others and experiencing new things, you are decisive about who you let in. I am hearing strong boundaries and expectations. Many of you could relate to the saying “treat others how you want to be treated.”
Also, do some of you have a crush? Or manifesting love? Because earlier, I felt this light rush in my chest and now I am picking up on someone specific. I see someone who is cool headed, ambitious, witty, and incredibly kind. If we are talking physical traits based on what I see in the cards, they could have long or short brown hair, blue eyes, and a well built body. Someone who takes care of their appearance and dresses nice. They think before they speak, but when they do—they’re so smooth with their words.
But, I do have to address the devil in the room. There’s an undeniable intensity to this connection, one that feels passionate and potent. At the same time, this energy is about you staying grounded in your worth. You are not losing yourself in this connection. You are being invited to experience the depth of love you desire while holding your standards and boundaries.

pile three
six of wands, seven of cups, queen of wands rx., nine of swords rx., & ace of wands
Hello my angels, welcome to your pile three ♡ i am feeling very vibrant and imaginative with this pile. There is something so calming about your energy. I feel this sense of warmth. Your potential is very bright pile three. I see someone who is full of ideas and thoughts and loves to daydream. Some of you may really enjoy visualizing, listening to subliminals, or even writing.
For my pile threes, I feel like you are manifesting a life where you are truly seen and recognized for who you are. There is a strong desire here to step into the spotlight in some form. Whether that’s creatively, socially, or even on a larger scale. I am thinking content creation, fashion/beauty, acting/performing, songwriting, storytelling, or creating art that is personal and speaks to the collective. Theres this energy where you are meant to share something meaningful out into the world.
And, the possibilities are endless for you, but at times you may question yourself or feel unsure about fully owning this version of you. I see someone who has one foot out the door and the other inside. It’s almost like you can see the potential, but are still learning to believe it’s meant for you. Thats where I can see the daydreaming clouding the clarity too. You have a lot that you want to do, but struggle sticking to one idea. It’s like a computer with many tabs open. You may relate to the feeling of often being overwhelmed by your mind.
The beautiful part of this, is that I see you shedding that doubt and indecision, and stepping into a new version of yourself where your confidence and passion lead the way. People will drawn to what you share and say because you have that spark in you that is unique. It doesn’t matter if what you want to do has been done before. People will gravitate towards you because your work has your soul in it.

For group one, this next journey in love will be an interesting and surprising one. The person coming towards you is…complex. Internally, they are someone who has a history with hardship and unexpected disruptions, which has built a person who functions through perseverance and determination despite all odds—as to be honest? They’ve never really had another choice. This hyper vigilance has led them to be reserved and analytical in all situations, though they still carry a cautious optimism, but talking to them might feel difficult at times. They could either be withholding or indirect conversationally, not wanting to give too much away, or they might come off a little scattered when relaying their raw, initial thoughts as they have a lot going on in their mind at most times. Deep down, they want to feel truly heard (not only listened to), to fully trust their ideas and thoughts, and to have a space to fully let their guard down without anticipating the next event.
Outwardly however, especially to you, this person will command a room and draw attention. The way they carry themselves is so confident and self assured, possessing an air of strength and control that’s sprinkled with just enough charisma that it makes you want to follow their lead. As you get to know them, you’ll find that beneath the ambition and charm is a compassionate, deeply empathetic soul whose emotional balance brings a sense of calm to even the most chaotic situations. Their serene yet stable energy has a way of grounding you and gives you full confidence in their words, and if you’re someone who may struggle with anxiety, sensitivity, or overthinking; they will be able to support your feelings without being thrown off themselves. Everything about them will pull you in and you won’t know what to do with yourself.
Now, you may meet your person in two vastly different environments, though either will be by pure chance. On one hand, you may run into them in a busy, spontaneous, or “lucky” location: a two day pop-up event, signing up for (or even winning) the same raffle, at the airport during a layover or in the TSA line (say both of your bags got flagged for inspection, how romantic), a music festival, carnival, or any other rapidly moving space. On the other, it could be somewhere calm, associated with learning, or a place to be reflective. This could be talking after a sound bath or yoga class, running into each other at a local cafe or bookshop, while sitting in a tucked away garden, or in a place you may go to think (say on a walking trail or at a peaceful looking spot).
As for when this will happen? This love is going to show up when you heal or move on from a situation that you’ve been holding on to. Be that a current relationship that’s no good, a break up that has taken awhile to recover from, a job that’s stressing you out, or any situation that has you resisting necessary change. Once you release, decide you’re ready for a new beginning, and start to work on yourself this connection will drop into your life and bloom when you least expect it.
“Soulmates” and “fate” kept jumping out to me in this reading! This connection will be one built on love, admiration, and respect. You’re going to be down bad about them, but the good news is that it will be completely mutual. I see this being a deep, lasting connection where you both feel as if you’ve unlocked something bigger in this life through being together. You are exactly who the other needs.
Angel message: ”Live, love, and learn”
Forgive yourself and meet yourself with gentleness, because when we are self critical or find ourselves unable to give ourselves grace for the regrets that we carry, we blind ourselves to love. From others, from ourselves, and even the care of the universe. Meet yourself with the compassion you deserve, understand that you are being held with love just because you are alive, and understand that the progress you’re making now is all that matters. You are worthy of all things good, so stop being your own bully!!!

Group 2, I see this connection being a mature and gradual one. Your person feels so lively! They are someone who seems to always be in motion, diving into everything head first, decisively, and enthusiastically. Because of this boldness, they are a person with a big sense of fulfillment and contentment, likely having had vast experiences and accomplishments. They may be well traveled or fascinated by learning about other cultures, and they likely have a love for life and people as a whole. This person is warm, cares about connection, and sees themselves as a part of the collective.
To you, this person will feel like pure sunshine. Everything about them, from their appearance to their energy and kindness, will seem radiant. They’re physically engaging, probably always talking with their hands or holding themselves with no guarding, and it makes them feel so safe and inviting to anyone near them. Their presence will feel like they’re lighting up the room, and you will admire their optimistic outlook on life and people because it is genuine and gentle. As you get to know them more, you will understand that this warmth stems from their own personal hardships that they’ve healed or are actively healing from, and it will make them all the more admirable, because how could someone be this sweet after something like that?
You will meet this person in a space that doesn’t carry any of that same lightness. This could be a chaotic and toxic workplace, a support group, a retreat to decompress, or maybe you just find each other during a mutual hard time. This relationship may appear during a time where you begin to realize that you aren’t defined by your achievements, as you may not be in a place where you’ve reached where you’re “supposed to be”. When you start to realize you can’t measure your worth in external examples, this person will show up to validate you and that you’re heading on the right path.
The outcome of this relationship might be a little shaky, but there seems to be hope there. You, them, or both of you may feel like you’re not quite in the place to be committed because you’re trying to get through the inner work you’re doing. However, your mental connection with this person will be strong, and even if it isn’t stereotypically “lovey-dovey” (though there will be romance too!), there is true intimacy there. You both can be open and vulnerable with each other, you connect on a real level, and even if it might take some time I can see it growing into something solid and lasting. Don’t rush, give each other time, and see where it takes you. Even if it doesn’t become a traditional relationship, I can see you still forming an extremely close bond.
Angel message: ”The truth will set you free”
Spirit says it’s time to be honest with yourself about the self-defeating behaviors that are holding you back from the life you’re trying to create and the person you know you can be. Right now, you feel as if you are a victim to your circumstances and your self esteem is low, leading you to doubt if anything will ever get better. Understand that you have the power to change your circumstances, even if it takes time, but it starts by being real about the role you’re playing in your own suffering. Stop evading the issue through escapism (shopping, food, alcohol, sex, tv and fandom, etc) and face things head on. You’ve got this!

Group 3…have a seat. It’s okay, hold my hand and walk with me. This person gives me the vibe of a “brooding artist”, with them being admired and highly regarded for their degree of work, knowledge of their field/craft, and their ability to work with others to achieve the highest outcome. Unfortunately, despite their success, this person seems to someone who is fixated on their failures, losses, and regrets. They have a hard time seeing the positives and a difficulty in moving on from the negatives of their past.
You are drawn to them because of their quiet confidence and air of strength. You love their empathetic nature, the way they have no problem showing up and supporting others, and how steady they seem. Despite this, you will also be able to tell that while they don’t mind being there for others, they never quite seem to truly let you in to their emotional world. There is a discomfort and unease when you try to return the same shoulder that they so freely give, and the emotional distance will often lead to misunderstandings or you feeling left in the dark all together.
You may meet this person in two types of environments. One is a space that feels uplifting, peaceful, and renewing. Calm and open spaces like a botanical garden or a stargazing spot, creative environments like an art classes or a museum, somewhere hopeful like a charity event or through helping others, or healing spaces like retreats or spiritual/meditation courses. It will be somewhere that makes you feel connected to the larger world. On the other, it will be somewhere of high visibility or that is a marker of success. This could be a work or networking event, an award ceremony, or a place either one or both of you are doing public speaking. This will spark initial interest out of feeling impressed or inspired by the other.
This encounter will happen when you’ve reached a place of balance in the core parts of your life (ie. your work-life balance). You might be in a time where you’re juggling multiple tasks and responsibilities that don’t leave you with much free time. Once you find what works and start moving in line with what feels best over what is “right”, this person will enter the picture, pushing you to gauge your intuition further.
The outcome of this seems…tenuous. I absolutely hate the term “situationship”, but that is what this energy seems to be giving. Despite the connection, desire, and effort, things will likely feel ambiguous. Maybe they feel so content with you in their life that they don’t feel the need to make things “official”, or maybe you’re compromising on what you really want for the sake of keeping your access to the bond. If this is to work out, their will have to be a real acknowledgement of what it is, what the pros and cons of the situation are, and to not let to many outside voices influence the way either of you choose to move within the connection. If it does become a committed thing, please prioritize privacy and transparency with each other, because otherwise, it could degrade quickly.
Angel message:
“Extend yourself to those around you. Overcome shyness and reserve and let the people who inspire you know that you were there and want to make friends. You will be met with an open heart and life-changing relationships will unfold.”
If you have gone through life feeling misunderstood, out of place, or the odd one out, spirit wants you to know that identity no longer serves you. It is time for you to put yourself out there! Visit the spaces that interest you, be open to talking to new people, and watch how quickly your tribe begins to form. You are in a place where people who recognize, understand, and mirror you are ready to take space in your life, but you must be open to allowing them. You never know who you will meet and where those relationships can take you.

Five of wands (4 of swords), Inverted judgment (inverted 10 of wands), Inverted the Chariot (Justice), 10 of cups (inverted 5 of pentacles), Inverted 9 of swords + inverted ace of pentacles, #14: Leadership
Okay group 4. Your person is a complicated little fire cracker. On one hand, they’re lively, competitive, and maybe a little argumentative. They love environments where they have to test or challenge themselves against others to come out on top, and they have a lively, restless energy about them. Internally, they are actually someone who longs for more slow, calm time. Being in a space that requires so much of them can be draining, and in private, they have to find ways to recoup. They can actually be more quiet and introspective than people may think, and having time where they can turn off, rest, and be tranquil is time they crave.
When you look at them, you see through their stubborn, combative nature to the humanity behind it. They are fatigued and overwhelmed from carrying so many responsibilities, and it shows on them in private. You may meet them by trying to be one of the few spaces they can relax and let down their guard, bringing needed lightness to their hectic daily life.
You may meet this person in two environments, though both of them are kind of stressful. One may be during a hectic, upsetting moment where things aren’t going right. A missed flight or chaotic airport experience, an event with many hiccups, picking up a birthday cake that’s completely wrong and other annoyances. The moment may be brief and tense, but it won’t be the only time you meet. On the other hand, it could be in a formal, serious setting. Think jury duty, at a government job or building, something involving decisions or contracts, or in a space with group responsibility.
The timing of this connection will come when you are moving into a period of contentment and harmony, with newfound assistance, opportunities, or stability coming after a time of difficulty. You will be in a healthy and balanced place, which will enable you to be open to the possibility of the relationship.
As for the outcome of this relationship, it seems like it will be a healthy one, though with challenges. Like your initial meeting, the start of the relationship may be rocky and not have completely solid ground. You might have challenges where finances make it hard for the other to show up in the way they’d like, you both might not live in the same space and the long distance might be undesirable to either of you, or you may go through a period where you aren’t sure if either of you is ready to commit. If you are both able to stick it out, you will get to a place where the anxieties and overthinking from the beginning fade away, especially as having self-security and a healthy since of detachment will allow you to just enjoy the relationship without holding on to it too tightly and stressing. I can see this connection adding to the happiness you’re building in the long run.
Angel message: ”Lead with cool, calm, and steady confidence”
You are moving from the background and into the role of a leader, even if it’s just of your own life. Where you once where under the control of others or unseen for your abilities, others are now seeing your competency, focus, and dedication. You’re shining so brightly, and this is your time to roll your shoulders back and show them what you can do. Do not overcompensate or stress in trying to prove that you deserve the opportunity or accolades, just be yourself and rely on your skills. People will admire your enthusiasm and will happy follow you without you auditioning.
And that concludes this reading! I hope you all enjoyed, and again, any like, reblog, or follow is appreciated. See you next time!
Hello, all! As the year is winding down to a close, I wanted to give one more reading before the new year.
As someone who deals with seasonal affective disorder (though mine is in the spring/summer months) and also an awareness that, while the holidays may be great for some, this time of the year can be rough for many, I wanted to do something in time for Christmas (since I had to miss my Thanksgiving window😓). I hope this reading brings you some comfort and some ideas for how to support yourself as you navigate this time and what may come up. Please let me know which pile you pick, share if you enjoy, and more than anything: take care of yourselves.
The pictures are piles 1-3, going left to right
(This reading talks a lot about wounds from past experiences, so if you may not be in a space for that, I totally understand! Please use discretion, and I'll see you for another reading in the future)

------------------------------------------------------------------
Oh pile 1, going over your reading made me really emotional. During this season, your past experiences return with a vengeance. It seems that throughout your life, you were around people who rarely, if ever, took your thoughts, feelings, or accomplishments seriously, leading to you to question your own reality. You tried harder to prove yourself, you spoke louder to be heard, you learned more and brought it back…only to still be dismissed. This may have resulted in you doubting your abilities, your intuition, and your voice; leading you to fear doing anything without input, because what if they were right all along? How can you be sure?
You may have also been in a environment that frequently changed or was met with a sudden disruption that altered things drastically, leading you to feel helpless. Maybe you never found solid ground after that, even if many years have passed, and you feel like you are passenger in your own life. It’s almost like you’re left to whims of the world and whatever it chooses to throw at you.
To cope during this season, it’s important that you take time to sit with yourself, reflect, reframe your thoughts, and to speak life into the wounded smaller version of you inside that’s holding on to it all. You have always been worthy, your feelings and thoughts mattered, and there was so much wisdom in you from the beginning. None of that is gone, it is only whispering, and they just need to know it’s safe to express themselves now. It’s equally important, though, that you examine how your traumas are showing up in your behaviors towards others and how you approach life. Maybe being unheard has made you defensive, you hold on to things/people too tightly because you fear loss, you try to control situations to maintain “control”, or you’re just waiting for life to turn around instead of taking action.
If you are able to do this while still being gentle with yourself, you’ll understand that you neither have to prove yourself to anyone else nor are a victim to fate or timing. You are actually in the driver’s seat, you are more capable than you’ve given yourself credit for and though life may be random— you can shift along with it if you try. Change might have meant loss at some points, but did you know it can also signal a new beginning? The things we gain are often better than what left, in many forms. As you walk into this new phase, understand that even if you are unprepared in some way, you have the ability to adapt with time and patience, because you are who you’ve always been, and it’s time to get back to your core self.

Pile 2, when I say your guides were shouting during this reading? I just want to give you all a hug, because I can see that you have a deep wound around security and abundance.
I took this reading two ways, so bear with me. For some of you, you may come from an environment where there was a major sense of scarcity. There were limited resources for your survival (food, money, nurturing, etc), an emotionally distant or nonexistent family that left a cavern where connection and affection was supposed to be, or the holidays weren’t celebrated/acknowledged in your home whatsoever; and any single or combination of these factors made you dread this season because it’s when you noticed this…lack, more than ever. You realized that your situation didn’t match with the joyous energy the air, the specials you saw on tv, or what your peers might’ve had and it made you feel isolated and alone. Why couldn’t you have that, too?
For others, maybe you did come from an environment where the holidays used to be great. It was a time of gathering for your family filled with traditions, happy memories, and you always expected it to be that way. But perhaps, over the years, your family is no longer as close-knit, you don’t feel like you belong anymore, or like you’ve failed in being able to keep what you had then up in your adult life. Maybe some of the family back then have grown up, built their own families, and you feel like you’re so far behind them because you’re “stuck” in a life you didn’t expect. You’re lacking something: a home/apartment, a partner/children, money, or a “serious” job and they bring this to your attention (or at least it feels noticeable because you’re the odd one out). You feel dread and self conscious every year that passes and you still aren’t where you’re striving towards, because everyone makes you feel like you must not be trying hard enough despite your reality.
The thing I see from both possibilities is it being hard to appreciate what you have now because it still doesn’t feel like enough. The fear and shame of still not having “made it” follows you around, and comparison is not only blinding you to how far you’ve come and the little life you’ve built for yourself, but also making you fearful to veer too far from what you think is the right path. You don’t let yourself participate in much of anything that isn’t centered around obtaining more, because it feels (or looks to others) like a waste of time. Why would you work on a hobby or take a moment to relax when you could pour more hours into work? Why connect with others when you’re used to not having anyone? Why take a risk or explore anything new when you’re at least are familiar with this current thing? What if it’s a mistake?
But silly, that’s a necessary part of self care and how we grow! Your gift in this season is to give yourself the permission to be curious and reconnect with life. I know it's scary to let go of what we think is keeping us safe, but allowing ourselves to be one with the world instead of auditioning opens our eyes to our full possibilities. Constantly trying to prove that you can have it together too or that you’ll lose everything if you become still for even a second is draining you of joy and creativity, and branching out enables you to find where you’re actually supposed to be. Maybe the thing holding you back is not figuring out what you actually want to do, not what you think you need to do.
Perhaps that hobby you think looks interesting, the “one day” idea that always pops up, that local group/event or friend hang you keep meaning to get to, abandoned hobby, or job outside of your safety zone has been the key the whole time. Take baby steps, don’t pressure yourself, and make sure you’re gently validating yourself for trying and for those who have one, lean on your support system for encouragement as well. Joy isn’t earned, it’s your birthright.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pile three, your reading felt like your guides where squatting down and gently speaking to you through me (maybe because I really relate to you all). I feel like you grew up in an environment where safety, especially emotionally, wasn’t present. Maybe your home environment was (or is currently still) oppressive, harsh, emotionally inconsistent/neglectful, or harmful to you in some way. You may have felt like people failed to protect you, that you have to suppress your emotions, shrink yourself, or try hard to live up to expectations so that you could survive and mitigate further pain. Perhaps all of your needs weren’t always met and you had to find a way to push through it on your own, despite not being ready for those responsibilities and the pain of not understanding why it wasn’t being given to you. I can imagine that this left a scar on who you truly are, your self worth, and your relationship with stability. Even though you’re older or because time has passed, you should be “over it”, you just…can’t.
I can imagine that this season feels hard because if you have to return to that environment, especially if you’re around people who never changed or felt like what you went through wasn’t “that bad” (or worse, won't acknowldge it at all), you just return to being your nervous, unsure self from the past.
To get through this season (and beyond), you’re being asked to face your fears around connection, self worth, and scarcity. Your inner child needs to know that they are safe and that their needs will be met, and that begins with you understanding that you are worthy, period. Of stability, love, success, and happiness. You are at a point now where the world you build now has to be live on a foundation that serves your needs. What aspects would make you feel alive, nourished, fulfilled, and at ease? What can you do to bring more joy into your life? What does your space need (and doesn’t) to feel like a safe home? What does your true, inner voice think and have to say? How can you currrate your life, inside and out, to reflect your inner light?
This is a time to figure out who you truly are and to shed your limiting beliefs. You don’t have to be afraid of being yourself, and if you don’t know who that is? Get creative and try new things! Read, take yourself out on dates, use your hands, meditate or journal, be brave and talk to new people or try vulnerability with those closest to you (who you’ve deemed safe and who respect you). Once you do this, life will begin to unfold for you in the most beautiful ways, and though you can never erase your experiences, those wounds will become a dull pain that can’t be felt over your newfound joy. The safety you're looking for is in you.

I'm so excited to share this reading I created as part of the first scrapbooking challenge hosted by @thehearthscrapbook 🍂✨
Inspired by the cozy, reflective energy of the season, this tarot/oracle spread is meant to guide us through the shifts of autumn with warmth, clarity, and intention.
Whether you're seeking to let go, reconnect, or simply honor your inner flame, I hope this spread brings you insight and comfort as the days grow shorter~!🌰🕯️
The Wood – What fuels my inner fire during this period?
Energy, inspiration, or emotional support.
The Ashes – What do I need to let go of in order to better face this season?
Old patterns, emotions, or situations that no longer serve me.
The Heat – Where can I find comfort and nourishment?Relationships, spiritual practices, or environments that warm the soul.
The Flame – In what area of my life am I shining, even if I don't realize it?
A hidden strength or a gift that is emerging.
The Harvest – What am I carrying with me from the summer that can serve me now?
An experience, a lesson, or an achievement.
🔥Reading Tips🔥
🔥You can use only Tarot cards, or an Oracle deck, or mix them (ex.: cards 1-3 with Tarot, cards 4-5 with Oracle)!
🔥Accompany the spread with a candle, a particular incense that reminds you of autumn, herbal tea (or anything else that comes to mind!) to create atmosphere. Be creative!
🔥You can write down an intention to keep throughout the season and burn on Yule/winter solstice.
As we are coming out of a long, heavy eclipse season–especially one that coincided with the current Virgo south node-Pisces north node axis–everyone might be sitting with the lessons they’ve learned or simply noticing the inner pull that says something is calling for change, especially after concluding with the Aries full moon. In this four-pile reading, I hope that these messages resonate with whoever may need them for October and as we move through the rest of this year. Take a deep breath, focus on the picture that’s speaking to you, and find your results below (numbers are 1-4, referenced left to right).

(5 of swords + Queen of Pentacles reversed, The Star + The Hanged Man, The Salamander and Black Pepper: Inspiration, 6 of wands) Angel message: #23 Boredom
For group one, life may seem “comfortable” on the surface, but you feel in your soul that something is…lacking. The mundanity of your day-to-day is leaving you bored and dissatisfied, because while there is safety in a routine and a predictable life, stability can be a mask for what is really complacency. You may even be in your head, thinking you should just be grateful for where you are and that it should be enough. But your guides want you to know there’s more for you.
It’s important to have or work towards a stable foundation, especially if you have others in your life who are dependent on you, but are you really pouring into yourself or just checking off boxes of what you’re “supposed” to do? While you can have lofty fantasies of things changing or eventually experiencing fuller days, what are you doing to ensure that’s an achievable outcome? As we move forward, Spirit asks that you open your eyes and look at the world of possibilities available to you, which will reveal itself if you can meet life with curiosity through self-reflection and care. Sit and ask yourself what your ideal self or life would look like, and think about the habits and knowledge that person or path would require. Reminisce on something you really enjoyed as a child and return to it, sign up for a class, learn a new subject, find a local or online community involved with an interest you have or for a cause you’re passionate about, or try a hobby that you’ve admired in passing. Think bigger and put yourself out there! You never know what parts of yourself you may unlock and where that new you will lead.

𝐏𝐢𝐥𝐞 𝟐:
(8 of Pentacles, The Chariot reversed, The Quail and Gooseberry: Anticipation, 5 of cups) Angel message: #18 Creativity
Group two: The big theme of your spread is patience. I get the feeling that you’ve been working hard towards a goal, whether that's studying diligently, practicing every day, or consistently releasing your work. Unfortunately, you may be thinking that you’re putting in this amount of effort for naught, because as the days turn to weeks, what you’re preparing for seems as if it will never arrive. The real problem isn’t the time, but your perception.
Instead of enjoying the process and the journey you’re currently on, you are only seeing the experience as the means to an end. Your eargerness to reap the reward is making every action a duty instead of a choice, and that only increases your lack of hope. This new cycle is asking you to stop focusing on things that are out of your control and instead immerse yourself in the process, soaking up as much as you can. Gather the tools you will need so you’re more than prepared when your chance comes, find excitement in your growth, and keep pushing yourself for your own betterment. As the old adage goes, "time flies when you're having fun". If you can allow yourself this surrender and lose yourself in your enjoyment, what you’re seeking will find you without even realizing it. (p.s. They wanted me to tell you that it’s much closer than you think!)

(Page of Pentacles reversed + The Empress, The Emperor reversed + 9 of swords, The Hare and Oak: New opportunities, The Devil reversed) Angel: #53 Rescue
Group three, I’m sensing a lot of pressure. It seems like things may not have worked out in the way that you planned, and you feel like you’re drowning in the disappointment of that unrealized dream. There seems to be some harshness, with either your internal narration or outside forces making you feel worse about how things have played out, leading you to believe that what you’re doing or could do in its wake can’t ever be as highly regarded as the original goal. To move forward, though, you must get out of your head. Punishing yourself is clouding your vision of a new future, and in your loathing, you may be missing out on opportunities that are trying to present themselves to you. These new offers, while they may not initially look like what you’d imagined, may be the springboard that launches you back onto the road you've veered off from, and better yet, lead you somewhere you never even imagined.
It’s okay to feel sad about our perceived shortcomings, as we’re only human, but we cannot stay trapped in our ego. Life isn’t over with a setback, no matter how big it may feel at the time. And more than anything, while outside opinions (especially from those we love or want to be proud of us) may sting, this is your life, not theirs. Think of how you want to continue from here, and have faith that things can and will get better. Roll those shoulders back!

(10 of Swords reversed, Strength + 8 of Wands, The Goat and Willow: Overcoming obstacles + The Frog and Lotus: Metamorphosis, The High Priestess) Angel message: #38 Restriction
Lastly, pile four, I just want to give you guys a big hug. You are emerging from a single/sequence of misfortune or have a history of negative experiences that have left you in a constant state of survival mode. You may still be anxious and scared to relax or trust where you are now, because the fear of the rug being pulled from under you again is something you need to remain prepared for. Safety feels like deceit, and even though things seem to be improving, the ghost of what you went through follows you like a shadow. Spirit wants you to know that you are okay now. You took care of yourself, found the strength to overcome it, and the only thing you should be doing now is letting yourself process the emotions that had to be suppressed to keep going. You are strong, but you deserve to allow yourself some softness.
You may feel like that situation took away who you thought you were, that you’ve lost yourself, and you might not even recognize this new person–but you have to meet yourself where you are. Nothing and no one has taken you from yourself, because within you is a deep well of inner knowing and light, and you will be reunited with this truth by going inwards. I want to let you know that you are not broken, but are instead being renewed. Return to yourself by setting down the pain and picking up the lessons to turn them into power. And most importantly? Don’t project what happened onto what finds you as you continue on. It’s easy to want to protect ourselves from the same experiences, but not everything or everyone is like what hurt or failed us. Embrace opportunities for joy, let people show you who they are, allow yourself to feel optimistic, and don’t let yourself be shackled any longer by what you left behind.

Choose a pile by which picture you resonate with the most.
If your mind is too busy to clearly decide, take a few deep breaths, and use the finger of your non-dominant hand to hover over the images. One will give off the most subtle yet prominent signals, like tingles, a magnetic pull, or temperature. This is your pile. Multiples are also possible.
Pile 1
The Fool, 9 of Swords
Ditch the phrase "Do it scared." When you bulldoze through your fear, you hurt yourself. It is a part of you that you will never transcend, because you need it. You can't expect any sustainable outcome from this violent approach. Your Spirit Guides see your efforts and want you to know that you hit the mark a long time ago already, and they are doing all they can to line you up with more positive experiences. They don't want you to use force against your most vulnerable parts for the sake of progress that is not even due yet.
You were told by misguided people that you are too sensitive, too slow, too lazy when you feel comfortable. This is not the case. The Universe likes slow. It likes gentle, loving approaches. It will meet you where you are at. Trust in your innate worth of good things, and don't whip yourself to places and situations you aren't ready for. Good things will come - for example the much calmer state of mind you will have once you don't betray your own trust anymore by ignoring your boundaries. You deserve kindness, patience and everything you need to feel safe. Listen to your fear. It needs your love.
Pile 2
Strength, King of Cups
Standing ovation for your emotional resilience! Your Spirit Guides are so freaking proud of you. You found a place within yourself where you can watch the waters of your soul ebb and flow in sovereignty. Even the stormiest currents can't rock you enough to lose your focus on what's important to you. You exude an air of compassion towards yourself that is inspiring.
What you deemed impossible and beyond your depth not so long ago is now already second nature to you. What an evolution to witness! Take pride in the thousands of conscious impulses that led you here. Let the imposter syndrome swim its laps, you know where it stems from, and you know that's not the whole story.
Beware of your knack for arrogance, the other end of that spectrum, and the future looks peachy.
Pile 3
The World, The Moon
Your Spirit Guides want you to know that there is closure to a deep rooted doubt on the horizon. They way you are carrying yourself in the last few days is amicable, and benefits the integration of one of your deepest wounds. Healing comes in many forms, and you have experienced a good handful of them already. Buckle up for a whole new variant of dimension in this regard - things you deemed lost forever will be ever so close to your grasp again and provide you with a surge of motivation you couldn't imagine before.
When the shadows of the past cloud your judgement, hold onto the smidge of light creeping through, especially when it seems like a lukewarm joke that just can't be true. From the perspective of despair, hope always seems ridiculous. Well, get a little silly, then. Dancing naked might sound like the worst humiliation, but only to those who haven't tasted that kind of freedom yet. Get ready to hear the music soon.
Pile 4
Two of Pentacles, Queen of Swords
Oh how you are chopping down that bullshit quickly! No time for nonsense is written all over your forehead, and for the metaphorically illiterate, you have no trouble spelling it out ever so clearly. Your Spirit Guides are in awe of your determination when it comes to your boundaries. You are loyal to your highest principles, no matter what. You know for certain that your wants and needs have a valid foundation, and you won't tolerate any projected shame on that part.
In the past, people could drag you into psychological tug-of-wars that left you off balance either way, whether you "won" or "lost". Now you smell that game from a mile away and don't even touch that rope. Just one little advice: Choose your battles. Not every boundary has to be set in stone, and not every crossing of one is a fundamental failure on your part you have to avoid at all costs, or else. Humans are multitudes of parts, all with their own unique set of requirements, and context is always a factor.
But still, look at you and how far your shadow work around speaking up has taken you! Who would've thought that one day you would need a reminder that soft is okay, too? ;)
