General Collective Message

I have been trying to do a pick a card all this week and it's been severely thrown off and I cannot focus besides feeling ill today after doing the first pile, and I don't want to throw away the message I received because 1. I received it 2. I literally cannot pull for any other message 3. I'm not even drawn to my decks right now

So if you have dominant fire signs in your chart and your focus right now in life is around relationships then this is for you

I'm not going to copy and paste the entire message, because a good portion of it deal with moving in some way? So if you are in a situation where you are physically moving house, then you can read the portion below, and if not then you can skip to the next section:

...So the way it’s showing up now is that there was an emotionally fulfilling relationship, and there’s definitely something involving a relocation that was possibly even long distance, and it was such a drawn out argument that cause it to possibly end...and for those of you where this isn’t romantic, it’s more like one person isn’t budging with a living situation and it’s not helping either of you. There’s an agreement and it keeps being changed by someone.

For those who are not dealing with any sort of relocation, the rest of the messages can be applied below

**This should be used for general guidance or insight into a situation, NOT as an answer**

Original Q: How you are viewing this dynamic Original A: You have two cards here that speak to quick mood changes and ones that are reliant on external things...However when it’s unbalanced it can do it too much for reasons unknown to the querent. So this combination gives me signs of someone who might be basing their emotional reaction on the other person — so they may not usually be upset by someone leaving an empty jug in the fridge but with this person in particular, it can piss them off... Your person is showing up as someone who might’ve gone through a change recently? Or...I will take this in two ways. It could be someone who might’ve recently changed their ways of viewing things and they’re trying to be more diplomatic about it. Or this could be someone who is trying to get out of this diplomatic energy because they are the unbalanced version of a Libra; the one that pleases others too much which can cause this frustration within you. Let’s say you both agreed on spending less or not going back to a certain place to eat, but a friend requested to do the exact opposite and this person immediately OK’d it. I can see how that causes a welling of irritation.

Original Q: How is this dynamic truly playing out Original A: Person A seems to have been trying to hold onto this and were the one who might’ve been voicing their (honest) feelings the most in this dynamic. They’re showing up as someone who is willing to take action and even when this fell through, it’s something that they wanted to do so...they’re going to continue on with it anyway. At some point they have as felt cornered by the other party or like they were asking for too much because I’m staring at this person in the middle of the five of wands instead of the whole card. Regardless, very straight-forward. Person B just seems very unprepared and like they wanted to make the other person happy but they never expressed themselves when they should’ve. The best way to explain The Lovers is that they felt overwhelmed, I don’t want to say trapped. It might be that Person A just took up more space in this situation? Like when the waiter comes to ask if everyone is ok and someone goes yes without checking on everyone else, this person might not have the strength to cut in and ask for something, so they get overpowered by Person A often, but I don’t think Person A would’ve minded that (honestly it feels like they were pushing for them to fight back). So a lot of cancellations happened which dampened Person A’s — it affected how they thought Person B felt towards them. With everything that came with the ‘move’ (or some sort of stronger commitment) they seem like they weren’t ready and it implied a lot more so they tried to force breaks on it indirectly. It feels like the ‘can’t we still date and just not that blahblahblah’ and Person A wasn’t messing with that, is all.

Again, if this isn’t romantic it can be translated into having to pay rent and think about having a shared space or be responsible for things they’ve never had to be responsible for, or a parent not ready for a child to venture off on their own (ten of pentacles was clarified by the hierophant so).

Original Q: General Guidance Original A: Don’t forget how amazing you are. There is a side message about taking rest and how there’s no need to always be doing something. You’ve accomplished a lot and I get the notion that you are someone who...when you want something you want it. It’s not that you’re impatient but you’re not held back for anything. There is a need to start putting yourself first. I always peek under the back of the deck and shark is here, which speaks to someone who is draining your energy so you need to leave them. That, combined with this entire spread honestly, is a loud message to start taking care of yourself. You should also build a small community of your own, especially if you have just moved out by yourself or in with new people/into a new area. The main message is to honor yourself and by extension, remind others of how amazing they are as well. There is a lot of flowers/greenery in the cards I pulled for you. You should step outside more if possible. I’m not sure how much you’ve either been focused on work or something else, but taking walks to just be in nature to reconnect with yourself would really help this healing process, or your creativity process if you make things.

This is a little weird and I don't really like to post my messages like this but, this pile didn't even want to follow the spread I traditionally do for this question so, trusting the flow of things I guess lol

[sixthwater]

Love your celeb posts. Possible to do one on Chris Evans and his wife?

Hello, thank you <3

Shortly in the new year my Patreon members will be able to vote on which celebs they want me to read on next. There will be a notice when this is implemented.

[sixthwater]

Ooo my natal chart craves community, I’m whipping up a piece and I’m having a spiral trying to figure out where a modern topic would land traditionally and now I wanna have a Discussion™️

[sixthwater]

This was originally finished some time last year and then I had small revisions throughout when allowed. I don’t know much about these two besides Harry is ‘highly sought after’ ?, and the ‘wild child’ in relation to The Royal Family where you’re expected to adhere to social guidelines and be proper — things like that. For Meghan, she’s a normal girl? She was in some TV show (thank you person who said I remind them of her) and her mother is black. So from those things I can see how their relationship is a fairy tale. I don’t know much about The Royals and I will continue to stay ignorant.

My request for these two is based around their love life in general, so I will be conducting a Synastry Reading for them. As always, I will look at them as individuals and then together, and we’ll throw in the Composite for a Patreon special.

Prince Harry

So I can see where his reputation came from. Not only do all of his planets funnel into Venus, but he also has a devilish Jupiter sitting in his First House. He can come off as someone who can be witty, sweet, and fun. Also someone who plans ahead...or is resourceful? His Sun is weak and his Venus can be indulgent, so there’s a high chance that he prepares for betrayals or hard times more than people realize; keeping information close to the chest, saving more than needed, keeping close connections with the right people, etc. However some actions he makes will have a chance to come back to cause him harm due to impulsivity or looking over minute details.

Where he ‘indulges’ would be with the nightlife, hobbies, or with his relationships. I don’t see it too heavy considering the placements and signs. He prioritizes value and comfort, but if he struggles to understand himself or feels isolated, then this part of him that needs to have fun and be carefree gets activated. It most likely deals with feeling disconnected and unable to authentically/fully express emotions as Saturn sits in the Eleventh and Mars in the Twelfth.

His situation is interesting because he especially craves it for satisfaction, but it’s like he can look not touch. So there’s that bubbling up of emotions until the damn bursts and then he ‘acts out’ before he’s okay again — because his Moon has been deprived of what it needs. Like a plant that’s been deprived of water, it will die. So when you look at his Descendant that’s ruled by the Moon, and see it’s in a position where it’s emotionally barricaded, it’s a little worrying. Which essentially can just mean that his love life is planned out for him in his case, but I can also see it as you can’t have certain toys or go to certain events because you need to go to these verified events etc. However I’m yet again getting off track.

A good partner for him would be someone that’s understanding of emotional numbness and patience. Sometimes he’s just not going to understand why he doesn’t feel and if he reacts a certain way he may not have an explanation. Also going at a slow pace. It’s not that he is a homebody himself but being high profile is stressful, he absolutely would want to empty his schedule in some instances. That would include going out to just watch the clouds sometimes, he just needs to not be thinking, is the point. So something like that would be good for him, however it’s most likely that his partners will also be well known (most likely due to him) and he’ll find them due to things he enjoys doing at the time. It’s most likely not clubbing with Cancer and Taurus involved, he needs to feel safe doing them (familiar actions).

Meghan Markle

She could be drawn to people who are well kept and can run businesses like well oiled machines. The type of characters you see in TV Shows that walk in, speak uninterrupted and people are speechless in awe or with bruised egos — those. The reason being is that she needs someone to match her energy and make up for what she feels she lacks. This is simultaneously true because her Sun is fine, but it’s like she’s constantly looking for something she already has. People will view her as pretty, popular, loving, a very sweet girl — but that’s about it. If anything, people could assume she doesn’t have control of her emotions or good boundaries so it’s easy to step over her. Again this isn’t a natal reading so I won’t go into depth, but this might’ve eventually been internalized because she does have a healthy amount of confidence but when she’s experiencing low moments I think those comments/moments might come back. Maybe that’s why I heard ‘megan megan megan’.

In regards to how she finds her partners, it’s about the same as above. Her dating area will have to be somewhere that’s comfortable to her and will probably be from the comfort of her home. Considering Capricorn sits over the seventh, but with Libra involved...something like dating apps or if they still do those speed dating things? It has that hint of sweet romance (?) to it but it’s structured enough to help her feel comfortable. It’d definitely have to be fun considering the planets conjunct her ruler as well. Basically a bit traditional, sweet, comfortable — all those things.

I really want to just talk about her as a person beyond love. Either people are projecting way too much onto this girl or she’s focused on something else right now. I don’t know what it is but I can’t pay attention to love, so let’s move onto their Synastry and Composite.

So Meghan is ‘exactly what Harry is looking for’ while Harry gives Meghan that comfort she seeks. As mentioned earlier, Harry cannot easily merge certain areas of his life so then he might go overboard in one area. Meghan comes in but she brings this ‘hard’ energy. By this I mean that she highlights areas that people would usually avoid when first getting to know someone else (how much do you make, what are your political views, should you you share a bank account, etc). Which I find interesting because her visuals are definitely what got his attention, and then she opened her mouth and it probably made him second guess at first. Like I mentioned with Meghan, she’s not a cute person who doesn’t have a thought in her head; she’s very ambitious and she’s not afraid to prove herself, it can just be drowned out by people trying to talk over her. She could’ve also challenged a few perceptions of the world that he was raised with.

They both bring each other down in different ways, but through the same influence.

A big piece of this is that her mars lands in his seventh house, which can both give energy to the partner but also cause arguments depending on what’s happening. For Harry I think he genuinely does need someone to get him motivated for some more personal things in his life, but he can most likely get frustrated with her from time to time. So he might see her as someone who can be assertive and handle her business but it can slowly turn into someone who can be explosive or too emotional, and then swing back to positive.

His mars falls within her sixth house so usually he would get on her about health, routine, managing her life, etc. However I see this as him suddenly joining her on trips or outings — whatever she’s already planned he’s just suddenly attaching himself to it when he ‘needs’ to, because his mars is already affected. Then Harry’s saturn falls within her fifth, so it can also be absorbed into what’s going on with that sixth house. It’s like whatever hobbies or interests that can affect her image, his energy leads to a restraint. It’s like she cleans herself up because of him and I hate wording it like that, but that’s what it’s showing itself as. Like how they claim people want to raise themselves up to someone else’s standards? That’s what this energy is doing. So this creates a push and pull, he will want activity one day which can give friction to her venus, and then next week he’ll pull from it.

There’s then the issue with finances, but it speaks more to like...access and doubling back to him struggling with that balance. So it kind of feels like she will have to rely on her own finances or if she wants to join finances period/give him resources she can’t because there is a restriction or disagreement in that area. There will always be a tug-of-war when it comes to public perception of her in regards to him and their relationship, it’s showing up in their synastry and it can cause tension within the relationship.

Shravana's lunar influence

Lately I've been having an urge to talk about nakshatras that I've unintentionally neglected. Enjoy this one_ something born partially out of knowing Shravana natives, partly from theoretical interest.

When people who know a thing or two about astrology approach the subject of power and influence, Shravana rarely comes up.

It's a lunar nakshatra, the last one, hiding its sensitivity under Saturn's restraint_ the black veil that straightens every uneven curve or line, reaches every loose end and towers the flow with its authority and importance.

This is the domain of Capricorn, natural sign of the 10th house, where the sea goat ascends to the mountain top, if you will. It's where the person stands on top of the highest point, seeing everything but participating in almost nothing that is beneath it. It's where you know where each thing belongs, but where you cannot touch them or rearrange them directly. Because you're seen. You see and you're looked at, you hear and you're listened to, you know and you're known. The pressure is high when you're close, but up on the mountain, far away from the madness, it falls. But this lunar mansion is about much more than the house of its sign.

Shravana's main symbol is the ear, and another is three footprints on a pathway. The native here goes on a journey that they can never fully know the destination of. It's the place of passivity that was not a choice, it's the sensitivity so perceptive and so deep that you might start to think that you're going mad. It's the knowing you know but cannot explain, the influence you receive from others and the information it gives you. It's the connection between everything and the invisible lines that can only be felt by you. And all the downloads, all the feelings, all the senses and the sensation, all that_ dressed as insignificance, fragility or weakness.

The main symbol of Shravana teaches about its passivity and immersion. What cannot be explained by logical terms is only proven by seeing. Shravana has the attentiveness necessary to piece together different parts, and eventually, it sees the whole picture. Shravana is attentive, but it never focuses on just one thing_ or it risks having its grasp on another.

To most of the watchers, Shravana's energy is non-threatening and unengaged. But in reality, it hears it all. You think they're non connected to anything that's of interest to you, but they are. They're connected to everything, they know how to connect everything.

10th house_ the house of influence and legacy, Capricorn_ the sign of climbing up the mountain, Saturn_ the strict balancer that takes as much as it gives, and the Moon_ the fusion of all the influences around it, the "mystical" knowing_ all of them are parts of what constitues of this lunar mansion.

The 28 nakshatras (including Uttara Ashadha's "sub-nakshatra", the Moon's brother_ Abhijit) are all attributed to one of the seven sages (saptarishis), 4 nakshatras for each one. There's a classification that's rarely mentioned: Shravana is Mleccha caste. "Mleccha" means "outcast". Some sources classify it as the lowest one, others say it's "outside" of the system entirely. Mleccha nakshatras have the same sage ruling them_ sage Vasishta, the knowledgeable one who was said to be born from Brahma's mind. These nakshatras are the only caste that are also grouped together under the same sage, and they're the only caste that form a pattern on the zodiac/nakshatra wheel. All Mleccha nakshatras (Bharani, Ashlesha, Vishakha and Shravana) have immense power that is unavailable to other lunar mansions, having the freedom to operate out of the caste system and possessing knowledge/power that gives each of them a unique mission. Each one is remarkable and, in my opinion, a key point in the journey through the constellations. Shravana's mission is about uniting humanity.

(This mission can be attributed to other nakshatras like Revati or Dhanishta in different ways. I want to discuss Shravana's role in this, and how it's been it immortalized in mythology and popular culture).

Vishnu, holding humanity together

And Aragorn, King Arthur, Superman

Viggo Mortensen, Henry Cavill and Charlie Hunnam, all have Shravana moon.

Shravana's god is Vishnu ("all pervasive")_ the preserver, the savior and protector of humanity, the one famous for his various avatars (beings who contained his energy/incarnations), often numbered as ten.

Etymology behind his name: it might derive from the sanskrit root that means "to work" or "to perform", but the more agreed-upon translation is "all pervading", "all encompassing or "omnipresent". "Vish" can mean "to enter/pervade", therefore, Vishnu is "the pervader" or "all pervasive".

Vishnu, as a deity in Hinduism, is part of the Trimurthi_ a trinity of Gods, along with Brahma (creation) and Shiva (destruction). He's the middle point between creation and disillusion. Blue skinned, and often depicted near a lotus flower, he manifests a portion of his energy anytime the world needs him to fight evil (kind of like a superhero, no?).

His birth is not a definite story, but he was associated with the cosmic ocean. His emergence is tied to him preserving the balance of the universe.

Despite being an important and a famous deity (one of the principal deities in Hinduism), he was not actually a major deity during the vedic period. There were some Rigvedic hymns that associated him with the Sun, and one of them tells the story of his three strides across the universe ( interesting, because one of Shravana's symbols is three footsteps on a pathway). Some of Vishnu's epithets are Narayana (the resting place of all beings), Hari (remover of sins and afflictions), Govinda (protector of cows) and Vishwaroopa (the universal form, omnipresence).

Ultimately, his main mission is to maintain the cosmic order, and he sends his avatars on Earth during the most trying times, when he has to intervene to support the fight against evil.

I've talked so much about the seeming distracted or detached nature of Shravana natives in the first part of this post. They (often unintentionally) conceal their power, deeply absorbed in the environmemt around them, to the point where they are not just seeing anything in particular, not at all, but rather seeing the whole of it, or, hearing it. Shravana is about "pervading" into the behaviors, thoughts or minds of others, probing into their psyches without trying, seeing so much because you read between the lines, not just what's obvious, because you listen to every side before drawing conclusions, because you do not seek something specific, but rather are receptive, because you are one with the flow. And this passivity or receptivity, the thing that might give Shravana natives the "normal" or "unremarkable" look, is actually natural byproduct of their attunement, and the perfect cover for their "specialness", necessary to protect them and their sensitivity/vulnerability in a harsh world.

Shravana's yoni animal is said to be a Vanar_ being from other dimensions that dwells in forests. Like a special conciousness that enters into Shravana natives in many fictional stories, where they become a vessel for a superhuman conciousness/power, Shravanas themselves probe inside even the most secretive of environments, like spies. So much of it can lead to Shravanas sacrificing themselves or their identity to be of service to humanity/people around them. This tendency even manifests in real life Shravana natives, who often feel like they cannot pinpoint who they are, or what their actual personality is, since they can be so influenced by everyone and everything around them, things that other people do not even suspect are there.

To draw the fascinating parallels between all this and the characters shown above, all of them start out as naturally humble beings who do not look like they're made for power, seeming unremarkable and feeling out of place.

Superman_ an alien who gains power on Earth, a stranger in our land, who paradixically helps and represents humanity, and all the best human qualities. He is a classic Shravana archetype.

King Arthur, who started out as a young boy who no one believed would pull the sword out of the stone (in most Arthurian stories anyway, details vary through different retellings). He created the round table, where all members were equals (the Shravana theme of fellowship and the true humility of the ruler who represents the people, not eager to distinguish himself or to exalt himself above his men).

Aragorn_ the heir to the throne of Gondor, who has spent a lot of his life as a lonely ranger, concealing his true identity. Yet despite his attempts to stay hidden, his noble qualities shine through. It was the kind of nobility that even the dirty clothes of a ranger could not cover. In the end, just like the previous characters, he accepts his mission and responsibility to care for and sustain the Middle Earth. One of the most memorable storylines was him assisting King Theoden of Rohan in battle, despite the fact the King protested and reminded him that he was not the ruler of his kingdom. Shravanas don't need to be in power to hold influence.

All of them came ro rescue when their worlds were in dire circumstances, and led the people through the tough times.

It is almost inevitable that with such sensitivity to everything around them, Shravana natives face difficulties regarding their identity, and sometimes, self-assertion. But no matter how powerless they might seem to others, or even themselves, they always hold special influence over the people around them, influence that can only come from someone so humble that they might not even recognize it.

...

Here is my post about Aragorn and Arwen, and a little bit about the Vanar/monkey yoni (Purva Ashadha and Shravana) pair dynamic.

Hey politicians can you do something worthy of our time and make illegal to work when the moon is void

[sixthwater]

out of context thought:

you cannot stop the planets from rotating, you need to either be a meteor or have some other inhuman force to change your transits

you can choose to not listen to the advice in that tarot reading that popped up on your feed, it's based off of your energy from two minutes ago

[sixthwater]

adding onto this: using divination for guidance and not answers or for directions is always the best way to use it

I remember for almost two years I was desperate to know if I would be in a better place financially and I kept getting messages along the lines of 'no, but maybe if you tried something different that would help' , and I ended up trying something different without realizing it and I got exactly what I was hoping for (a better situation). If I had just taken those readings as a no and dusted my hands off and let life pass me by, I'd still be in a miserable place. Use this stuff as guidance, not a death sentence.

House Breakdowns: The Tenth House

[Uncut Version]

The Tenth House is usually associated with our vocation. It can be how others perceive us, the impact we leave on the world, the perception that strangers have of us in a ‘professional’ sense. It’s how we want to be remembered.

For those that use Placidus, the Midheaven marks the beginning of the Tenth House, however that’s not the case with the Whole Sign System. The Midheaven is the highest point in your chart, so considering Whole Sign splits your houses evenly, it means your Midheaven becomes a ‘floating point’ within your chart. Using this system, your Midheaven will either land in the Ninth, Tenth, or Eleventh House. That being said, let’s get into it, shall we?

Tenth House - Idea of the Career

Aries: Involves use of the physical body, leadership roles, entrepreneurship Taurus: Involves finance, beauty/art, stability Gemini: Involves multi-tasking, jack-of-all-trades, communication Cancer: Involves nurturing, emotions, familial bonds Leo: Involves self expression, creativity, children Virgo: Involves organization, ‘uncredited’ work, service to others Libra: Involves justice, mediation, beauty/art Scorpio: Involves research, transformation, use of shared resources Sagittarius: Involves teaching, traveling, religion Capricorn: Involves tradition, capital, structure Aquarius: Involves humanitarianism, technology, forward thinking Pisces: Involves art, healing, behind the scenes

The Tenth House will give a blanket energy of what career you might have, they will not point you towards what specific path you’ll land on (that’s why there’s so much to take into account).

Midheaven - Ideal Careers

Aries: Athlete, Martial Artist, Soldier, Welder, Firefighter, Extreme Sports, Dancers, Law Enforcement, Firearms usage, etc Taurus: Bakers/Cooks, Gardeners, Bankers, Financial Advisers, Esthetician, Aromatherapist, Vocal Teachers, etc Gemini: Sales, Writing, Languages, Communication, The more the merrier! Cancer: History, Archaeology, Genealogy, Education/Teaching, Social Work, Working with children, Culinary Arts, Real Estate, Hotels, etc Leo: Art, Entertainment, Executives, Management, Government Officials, Working with children, etc Virgo: Administration, Executive Assistant, Accountant, Cataloger, Auditor, Jobs needing precision, Behind the scenes work, Mundane work, etc Libra: Lawyer, Mediator, Humanitarian work, Public Speaking, Marketers, Creative endeavors, Designers, Artists, etc Scorpio: Therapy, Investigation, Researcher, Mortician, Hospice, Medicine, Mortgage, Loan Officers, Investments, etc Sagittarius: Teachers/Mentors, Counselors, Language, Work that allows exploration, Philosophers, Religious work, Activism, etc Capricorn: Business, Traditional jobs, Executive work, Established business, Politics, Work that comes from the earth (farming, construction and more), etc Aquarius: Technology, Science, Improving upon the old, Inventor, Astrology, Social Sciences, Humanitarian work, etc Pisces: Music, Healing arts, Expressive work, Hospitals, Charity, Clergy, Emotional work, Work could involve water elements (from marina to barista), etc

Ruler of 10th House/Midheaven - Direction of Career

Sun: Involves Leadership/Authority, Creativity, Drama, Government, etc Moon: Involves the Public, Traditionally Feminine work, Advertising, Real Estate, etc Mercury: Involves Communication, High Volumes of Information, Language, etc Venus: Involves the Arts, Finance, Healing, Social Relations, etc Mars: Involves a Highly Competitive Career, Military, Physical Occupations, etc Jupiter: Involves Religion/Philosophy, Travel, Teaching, etc Saturn: Involves High Level of Responsibility, Organization, Business, etc

Ruler of 10th House in Houses - Energy of/Actual Career

1st House: Self-employment, a pioneer, being well known or the first within your field, being a leader 2nd House: Trading assets, finances, businessman, singing or speech 3rd House: Working with siblings, communication, writing, marketing, short travel or short trips necessary, constant job change possible 4th House: Working with family or from home, real estate, founder/owner of small business, stay at home parent 5th House: Artist, entertainer, fashion, hobby/passion as career, teacher, working with children 6th House: Service to others, detail-oriented, analyst, critic, doctor or vet, health 7th House: Law, business with partnerships, clientele business, contractor, politics 8th House: Banker, insurance, researcher, diagnostician, death doula, hospice 9th House: Priest, advanced degree necessary, scholar, college teacher, constant travel necessary (long distance or overseas) 10th House: Legacy, government, tradition, what’s been established or going with what’s safe – refer to other placements and signs to strengthen those possibilities. Can also show someone in authoritative or high position related to the sign of work. 11th House: Humanitarian causes, community service, working in a group, helping others gain through group work 12th House: Secluded work, working within hospitals, helping others, working within prisons, working with foreigners or in foreign locations

Divination & You

Find the full post + more on Patreon

The stars and the cards never lie, but we can misinterpret. Divination is a wonderful tool to help ease our worries — if we use it properly. Or understand that most of these tools started as games to pass the time.

HISTORY

ASTROLOGY – Astrology goes back for centuries. It was mainly used for Mundane or Electional Astrology. To see when’s the best time to attack a neighboring town, is this a good business partner, will I be a King, when will I die and from what illness? They used it in a much more ‘practical’ and straight-forward way. They also took notes of when eclipses were happening and associated them to major events.

CARTOMANCY – Playing cards were introduced during the 1400s, and the source is a bit scattered but it gained traction during the 1700s.

TAROT – Originally pieces of art that seemed to be traced back to Egypt according to some. This is a sibling of Cartomancy. They were essentially ‘high end luxury items’ but in the form of playing cards.

and more. . .

PRACTICING

**Anything referencing current events does not reflect my actual opinion but a strong attempt at being objective**

ASTROLOGY

2024 Election

I only really remember a few tarot predictions that were assuming she would win. I think a few astrologer’s mentioned that as well, but I can’t remember everything in detail. However, I do want to go over their transits the day they were announced as candidates:

Kamala

Jupiter in Gemini in 1st, Saturn in Pisces in 10th, Sun Venus Mercury in Cancer in 2nd Mars at some point passes through her 1st, and eventually sits in her 2nd all the way through the election.

Donald

Jupiter in Gemini in the 11th, Venus Mercury in 1st, Saturn in Pisces in 8th Mars moves back into his 11th at some point but it leaves quick enough, the Sun going through his 1st, and Moon joins Saturn shortly

Comparing the two, his are much better than hers. Politics is just a popularity contest and they also need financial backing. Jupiter is in detriment and we saw that in the both of them, just in different ways. Kamala was seen as goofy and there were claims that her campaign was all over the place. From what I saw it was a reach for compassion as well — so that’s her Saturn & Jupiter transit mainly. Meanwhile you can see there’s nothing much going on with her popularity or financial houses. Mars actually hits one of them, so there’s a possibility the party took a hit trying to run this campaign considering it’s aspecting her Tenth and she’s getting transits hitting her Sixth at the same time. So she probably raised a lot of money, but they ended up running through most of it?

Meanwhile his Jupiter is sitting pretty in the Eleventh. I can see this reading as someone being surrounded by friends but no one really gives a shit about them, like none of them will be there in the end for various reasons. Mars joins Jupiter so there could be some turmoil in that area, but it doesn’t impact its strength. I find it interesting that his Saturn sits in the 8th because with his aspects it’s like he can’t use external finances the way he wants to — like he’s gaining external funding but he can’t touch it or if he wants to it comes with a contract.

Astrology is mainly pattern recognition and realizing the qualities of the sign blending with the qualities of the planet it’s sitting in. That’s also why history is a wonderful thing to dabble in or be aware of, because going back and looking at what has transpired and what transits caused that to happen can give us a better idea of what is to come.

Use Direct Oracle Cards for Confirmation

There are times when you pull just the right combination to confuse you. You get a love card but then you get a contractual card, so what’s going on? Well, read the cards as is — remember, the cards are not wrong. So if need be, pull some direct divination cards to throw you back on track. Direct divination cards cannot be transmuted into something else.
