You have emotions, ambition, patience, curiosity ,love, dreams, compassion I can't stop writing for you literally. If this doesn't feel like your current self then this is your Higher self coming through this reading and letting you know how amazing you are 🫰. You're the "Dream Man" or "Dream Woman" . You are lovable because you feel emotions on a deep level. You know vulnerability and you know how to express love. You make people feel seen heared. On the other hand you're hardwork always showing up for yourself and for your dreams. You have the energy of surrender like you know already everything is going to be taken care of by the higher power. You are lovable because of your mindset. You're loveable as your are.
PILE TWO
My lovely pile two, you never really saw what love, happiness, joy looks like but you have been always loving, joyful, happy towards yourself as well as for others. You know why? because all of this exists in you. You hold the essence of love, happiness, joy, gratitude. You have always struggled in your life for everything you want. You have always worked extra hard for everything you want and need but still you choose to be happy, kind and content. That's why you are loveable and you know why people have never been able to love you the right way because your kind of love needs experience, patients, tenderness, compassion, happiness, gratitude, kindness, love. All of these things are not something we gain from outside these are daily choices. You chose to be loving even after all the chaos . You made the choice of being like this everyday. Not everyone is brave enough to choose to be like this. You are loveable because of your choices. Am proud of you pile two. 🫂💗
PILE THREE
I am not lying am literally crying right now. Pile three today you have became the safe place once you prayed for. You have this protective energy which makes people feel safe when they are with you. Today you have become the person once you needed. For a lot of you, your inner child is coming up and saying they are proud of you. You can be someone who is very childlike in their nature but this is all because of you. You kept your inner child alive. You've been through deep hurt but you always choose yourself and that's powerful. You might have lost your loved ones early in your life or you could be the neglected child who just wanted to feel loved. Loving you is like breathing because you can provide safety and a sense of security, you hold the essence of home. After a tough day coming to you feels like coming to home. Your strength is lovable, your ethics are lovable, your aura is lovable. Your mere thought is lovable. The way you protect is lovable.

Today's Pick-a-Pile reading explores what your Villain Era looks like, the catalyst that awakens it, and the lesson your transformation is here to teach.
🌹 Take a moment to clear your mind.
🌹 Look at the piles and choose the one you're most drawn to.

🔮 — Lilith's Lantern Readings
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
🥀 (Pile 1)
Cards Pulled: Queen of Swords, Justice Reversed, Death ⚔️🖤
Your Villain Era begins the moment you stop explaining yourself.
The Queen of Swords shows a version of you that has learned through experience. You're no longer interested in pleasing everyone or making yourself smaller to keep the peace. Your words become precise, your boundaries become firm, and your silence speaks louder than your explanations ever did.
Justice reversed suggests this transformation is born from betrayal, unfair treatment, or realizing you've given more than you've received. Rather than seeking revenge, you're learning to stop carrying burdens that were never yours.
Death marks a profound transformation. By the end of this era, the version of you who constantly sought approval no longer exists.
Overall Villain Archetype: The Unapologetic Sovereign
To some, you'll seem cold. To those who truly know you, you'll simply be someone who finally chose themselves.
✨ Era Theme: Boundaries • Transformation • Self-Respect • Liberation
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
🗝️ (Pile 2)
Cards Pulled: The Devil, The Tower Reversed, Strength 🐍🔥
Your Villain Era begins when you stop pretending everything is fine.
The Devil asks you to confront the chains you've accepted—whether they're unhealthy relationships, limiting beliefs, or the fear of disappointing others. This isn't about becoming destructive; it's about becoming honest.
The Tower reversed suggests you've been resisting an inevitable change. The longer you avoid it, the louder life becomes. Your Villain Era arrives when you finally allow the old foundation to crumble.
Strength reminds you that true power isn't domination—it's self-mastery. The strongest version of you isn't driven by anger but by unwavering confidence.
Overall Villain Archetype: The Chain Breaker
Your greatest rebellion is refusing to remain trapped in a life that no longer reflects who you are.
✨ Era Theme: Freedom • Courage • Authenticity • Inner Power
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
🕯️ (Pile 3)
Cards Pulled: The Hermit, Five of Wands Reversed, The Star 🌑⭐
Your Villain Era is quieter than most—but no less powerful.
The Hermit suggests you begin pulling away from people, places, and expectations that drain your spirit. Some may misunderstand your distance, but your solitude is preparing you for something greater.
The Five of Wands reversed shows you've grown tired of unnecessary conflict and competition. Instead of proving yourself, you choose peace, discernment, and protecting your energy.
The Star reveals that your Villain Era ultimately becomes your healing era. Once you've stopped living for other people's approval, your authentic light becomes impossible to ignore.
Overall Villain Archetype: The Silent Revolution
People may call you distant simply because they no longer have unlimited access to you. Your greatest act of rebellion is choosing your own peace.
✨ Era Theme: Healing • Independence • Discernment • Authenticity
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
🌙 Remember: Your Villain Era isn't about becoming heartless—it's about reclaiming the parts of yourself that were buried beneath guilt, people-pleasing, fear, or expectation. Sometimes the person others call the villain is simply the one who finally stopped abandoning themselves.

Sometimes we beat ourselves up because we think we're stuck and need to do something to keep moving, but sometimes we need to be "stuck", and other times we're not stuck at all, we're just growing in ways that we cannot see yet.
My guides gave me a card spread a while ago to explore where I currently am in my tarot/spiritual journey, this really helped me understand the energy I am currently navigating. With that being said, this is a general reading with 4 piles, so we won't go as in depth as the card spread can take us. Only take what resonates.
Happy new moon in Cancer!
Reading below the cut.
Pile 1 - Serenity
energy check: taurus, libra, gemini
You are on the verge of a new beginning, dear pile 1. A cycle has been closed and another path has opened to you.
As the keyword suggests, this will be a time of peace for you - I've heard "a reprieve" as in relief. Maybe you have been feeling this relief coming for a while now, but it has been delayed for some reason or another, it'll be different for each of you, however this time it's for real - I've heard "it's coming".
With the energy of The World card we also have that many cycles are closing; you're sitting in between chapters, dear, so you may be feeling exhausted and like needing to rest a lot, but that resting your physical body doesn't help much. Partaking in self care "rituals" that can bring you emotional, mental, and spiritual refreshment is advised.
Next steps in your journey: The Magician, The High Priestess, The Empress.
The three cards following your current position can guide you and give you some insight on what to expect in the near future. When you enter The Magician energy, you'll feel like you have all the tools you need to manifest your goals.
After that, The High Priestess is there to guide you in getting to know yourself inside and out, or to illuminate some aspect of your life that will be your focus in this new beginning. And finally, The Empress is you being able to sit in your own power as a sovereign being - you have conquered obstacles and fears through unconditional love and understanding.
Channeled message: "Harmony, calmness. Serenity."
Pile 2 - Adventure
energy check: virgo, aries, leo
A time of abundance, a new adventure, it's what is coming up in your timeline, pile 2.
For some, this pile might be the continuity of pile 1, however this is a reading for it's own collective.
You are sitting in your Divine Feminine energy, dear pile 2. And this energy is manifesting into your life as a creative urge, or an inkling to nurture parts of you that were shadowed or neglected for too long.
There's also a need to embrace, embody, and balance the Divine Masculine energy in yourself and in your life. Are you getting stuck in your head too much? Do you live in a world of ideas and never put anything into practice? The Fool is here to ask you to take action in regards to your dreams.
It's a funny "coincidence", I just paused a movie to tackle this pile and the main character had just said: "life is movement". And that is true, pile 2, life is always moving. It's a never ending cycle of cycles within cycles. But we're not chasing our own tails, we're ascending in a spiral.
The goal is wholeness, if you're wondering. The Lovers, inner union, wholeness.
Next steps in your journey: The Emperor, The Hierophant, The Lovers.
There's not much to say in regards to the next steps of your journey... You already know what you have to do, dear, you already have what you need to start - you only need to start.
Channeled message: "Continuous transformation. The only constant is change."
Pile 3 - Idea
energy check: pisces, scorpio, cancer
funny thing that happened while I was drawing your runes: I tapped into the collective energy of this pile with my eyes closed, and was like "oh, this is my water pile" then I picked three runes from my astrology stash, which I had only the signs in, and voila, the three runes were the three water signs, lmao.
Justice has been served in your life recently, my dear pile 3.
For this collective we have something a bit different. The deck I was guided to use has the Justice card (traditionally card 11 of the tarot) and the card Strength (traditionally card 7 of the tarot) switched positions. I don't believe it was a mistake, to be honest, the energy around it feel very deliberate. I did confirm, twice, if I should use the original order of the cards for your reading and I got a positive answer.
Therefore, Justice has been delivered swiftly, pile 3. Especially with The Chariot for how the energy is manifesting in your life. I've heard "the scales have been/are being balanced."
You may have chosen to close a cycle, dear, or you may have been forced to close one. Whatever it was, know you made the right choice, and that this happened for your highest good. I've heard "you will be delivered." - Whatever that means to you, take it as it resonates.
Oh, some of you may have asked for divine justice. If I recall correctly I did a post talking about this; not sure if it was a PAC or in a Q&A post. So, this is your confirmation that your request has been heard and granted.
Next steps in your journey: The Hermit, The Wheel of Fortune, Strength.
To be honest this doesn't feel like next steps, pile 3. It feels more like simultaneous steps, or continuous steps that you are being asked to take - I'm also getting that for some of you it might feel like you're being forced, and others that you are forcing yourself. Like when life gets rough, but you just need to keep going because the alternative is not good for you.
It's different for each of you, but your guides are supporting you every step of the way, and they want you to know that you are doing amazing and they're very proud of you. I keep hearing someone referring to you as "sweetie", it feels like an older feminine energy, maybe a guide or a relative that has passed away and is watching over you.
"You're not alone dear. It's hard, right now, and we see your suffering, but it'll be over soon, rest assured... and take it easy. You've done an amazing job, and we're all very proud of you." - your guides (and grandma)
Channeled message: "Loyalty, idealism. Being in company of the truth."
Pile 4 - Athena
energy check: sagittarius, aquarius, capricorn
You are the star, pile 4, literally. Athena's energy came through strongly for this collective, when I saw the owl picture while searching for the pile images, I immediately knew it was a sign.
I only have three tarot decks, so I had to be creative and mix the three to get your cards, pile 4. This might be a sign for some of you. Maybe you always felt like you had to make do with what you were given in life.
This was a great lesson, dear, a hard one, but one that is invaluable. You have become the wheel, pile 4. That's why your life doesn't look like the life of your peers. You're on a different timeline than the people around you, and yes that is very difficult to live with.
You may feel you have no friends, or that you never truly connect with the friends you make. And that's because you and them are on different vibrations, your consciousness literally inhabit different realities. There's nothing wrong with you, my dear. You're only walking a different path.
Next steps in your journey: The Moon, The Sun, Judgment.
I can't say much about your next steps, pile 4. Not only because it's different to each one of you, but because The Moon is the veiled card. It's the card of illusion and disillusionment. The unknown awaits you, pile 4... well, in truth, it awaits all of us.
Whatever lies ahead, know it's going to take you to extremes - the moon and the sun. But, it'll be fair, or fairness will prevail in the end. I'm being guided to say: "we reap what we sow."
Channeled message: "Letting yourself go. Time heals everything."
I know I already made a post to this effect but it's so baffling to me when someone defends the fact that headphone jacks are slowly but surely getting phased out by smartphone manufacturers with some variations of "wireless headphones are more convenient anyway" bc like. If we're talking about convenience what I like about wired headphones is that they conveniently have a single plug that makes the same damn pair of headphones universally compatible with every single audio-output-capable device I own, from my phone and my computer to my fucking gameboy and my casette player, it doesn't get any more convenient than that.
"what if someone regrets transitioning" if you are 18 or over in free country usa you can walk into any tattoo parlor and ask for a tattoo that will be on your body forever and ever and ever and they will give it to you with the understanding that if you dont like the result or you regret it later that's your fucking problem and not theirs
I kept forgetting my nighttime antidepressant so I set an alarm where the sound was a recording of me saying "HEY. TAKE YOUR FUCKING PILL" because I thought it would be funny. It was funny about three times, and then it started making me mad and I'd dismiss it right away to make it stop. So I handed my phone to my partner, who made another recording sweetly saying "Okay Shira, it's time to take your medication" and now I don't get mad anymore and I take my pill. The "compassion over punishment" camp has gotta get something wrong one of these days
Love Messages From Your Soulmate To Hear Right Now?!?!?!
Pile One: Your person wants you to know it has not been easy to unravel themselves away from worldly expectations. This is someone who has gone from extreme comfort in the matrix to absolute disregard of it completely. They want you to know loving you was never easy, not because you weren’t worth the risk, but because you are the embodiment of everything they thought was unnatural. To love you and to chose you meant going against everything they were once taught. Everything they understood the world to be had to be unlearned in order to recognize their intense feelings for you. This is not a relationship that made sense for them until they were finally able to be their true selves. This person wants to apologize for how long it took them to become who they should’ve always been. Had they always been in alignment with their authentic self this connection would have never seen as many struggles as it did. Someone wants you to know that anything that ever tries to come in the way of this relationship will cease to exist moving forward. They will always do their part in choosing you. They’re done with any coward ways and they’re ready to be brave enough to stand in their truth. You are the reality that want to be aligned with in this lifetime and in the next ones to come.
Pile Two: They finally understand what “home is where the heart is” truly means. They feel that regardless of wherever you go you will always be where their heart is. You have opened this persons understanding of love up wider than they knew was possible in this lifetime. This is someone who strongly believes they feel more deeply for you than you do them. They feel that they must make this connection count and mean something. They don’t mind living and achieving in the name of their love for you. You help them want more for themselves than just a practical life. They once believed nothing on this earth was more important than money and materialistic gains, they now see how foolish they were for those beliefs. Having a heart that reaches the unseen is more exhilarating than anything the 3D world can offer. This experience with you has made them see that divinity is more than just a concept people talk about to sound spiritual. Divinity is real because they feel it when they look at you. The intensity this love has shown them is proof unconditional love exists. Even if you don’t feel the same as they do it doesn’t matter to them because loving you proved that unconditional love is the true source of all life. Something unexplainable and unintentional has completely taken over their sense of logic.

hello !! this is my first reading on this blog 𖹭 i was very excited to do this and i hope you guys will enjoy it too ! for my first post , i decided to a reading about what your inner strength is, why you're overlooking it , and how can you tap into that energy . please remember English isn't my first language , so bare with my mistakes . make sure to take a deep breath and calm your mind before choosing a pile . trust your gut feeling and go with whatever pile you feel drawn to , even if it's multiple ones . any feedback is welcome ! 𖹭
DISCLAIMER: all of my readings are for entertainment purposes only, as i am no professional tarot reader. readings are not a substitute for professional legal, financial, medical, or mental health advice. you are encouraged to consult with qualified, licensed professionals for any such concerns. this is a general reading, so take what resonates and leave what doesn't.
PILE 1 - 6 of Wands (upright), Page of Swords (upright), The Emperor (upright)
hello there pile 1!! i see that you're someone who has overcome a lot of stuff in your life and, through a lot of self-work, have successfully matured. your confidence now comes from trusting your gut more and loving yourself for who you are, not from external validation. and people can see that! because of all of this public recognition and self-confidence you now have, you could be a bit impulsive and too excited to jump into doing new stuff, like going on trips or starting a new project. the thrill of it is causing you to overlook the finer details, building a more stable foundation, planning your budget etcetc. the cards are reminding you to think more through and not act on any of your impulses. instead, channel your energy into setting firm boundaries, organizing yourself, and even taking leadership roles to guide others. by doing this, not only you protect your energy, but you can tap into that inner strength of yours. good luck and i hope you enjoyed the small reading, pile 1!
songs i pulled: "Sympathy is a knife" by Charli xcx, "Good Graces" by Sabrina Carpenter, "messier" by Tate McRae
PILE 2 - 4 of Pentacles (upright), 3 of Pentacles (upright), 9 of Cups (reversed)
hello there pile 2!! if i had to ask someone when it came to advice for finances, it'd definitely be you, pile 2! you seem like someone who knows how to handle their money right, has clear boundaries (both in relationships and when it comes to handling your resources), and is independent. you're someone who thinks twice before investing into something and often avoid buying certain stuff, because you'd rather save for something long-term. you're also someone who doesn't shy away from saying "no" when it comes to protect your stuff. but because of being so independent, you could be attempting to do everything by yourself instead of asking for help. you're so disciplined and make sure to go through your routine or tasks in your day-to-day life, that you could be missing out on the bigger picture and forgetting what was your ultimate goal in the first place. instead, try to loosen up a little bit, take a step back, and try to not let your perfectionism control your life by taking breaks, going out, doing anything (even if it's simple) that brings you joy. by doing this, not only you stop neglecting your other aspects in life that aren't finances-related, but you can tap into that inner strength of yours. good luck and i hope you enjoyed the small reading, pile 2!
songs i pulled: "guilty conscience" by Tate McRae, "greedy" by Tate McRae, "Nostalgia" by Tate McRae
PILE 3 - 4 of Swords (reversed), The Tower (reversed), Ace of Cups (reversed)
hello there pile 3!! you might have recently come from a period of insolation because of a burn out, in which this period you had a mental awakening. your changed perspective helped you become wiser and your mind can move forward without being influenced by any negative energy blocking it. you know you survived the storm and that you survived it, which highlights your strength that you developed during the time you rested. despite this, a part of you is resisting this change, because of how new and maybe even underwhelming it might feel all internally, causing you to be really careful about stepping back into your usual life. you might internalize all of this or have a hard time letting go of the older habits, even though you're aware (either consciously or subconsciously) that they're not healthy. instead, try to turn that energy inward and nurture yourself through self-care activities, like journaling, meditation, painting etcetc (anything creativity-related), before trying to give that energy to other people, get into new projects or relationships. by doing this, not only you start treating your emotions with more kindness, but you can tap into that inner strength of yours. good luck and i hope you enjoyed the small reading, pile 3!
songs i pulled: "split" by Maggie Lindemann, "Like I do" by Tate McRae, "Potential" by sombr
