Part of the reason I never put effort into working with Hera and worshipping Her is because she's the Goddess of Motherhood. I want nothing to do with motherhood. Nothing.

I prayed to Persephone and Hera answered. I felt Her presence so strongly I could barely breathe. She is incredible. Since then I have had an important realization about Her: Hera is not the goddess of forced or unwilling motherhood.

She will never stand for being cruel or harmful to children. But you just don't want one? That's fine. I genuinely believe that women can pray to Hera to avoid pregnancy if they don't want kids because She will never force you to have a child against your will.

Since realizing that, I feel much more connected to Hera. She does not like to be misunderstood. I really look forward to getting into worshipping Her now.

New Moon in Gemini, May 22nd, 2020 (and other current astrology notes)

🌱The astrological happenings are curious and intense right now. The cosmos are aligned in a way that brings about big changes, shifts in perspective, and a re-evaluation of ourselves and our lives. This new moon is a powerful time for tapping into this energy and starting anew.

💫Now, we’re seeing karma from the past 8 years being cleared up. The last time this particular alignment happened was in 2012, the end of may and early june. Think back to your life at that time. What changes happened for you? What actions were you taking? The karmic results of that time will be showing up in the coming days, especially near the time of the new moon.

🌱Venus is currently retrograde and squaring Neptune–this points us towards taking a look at relationships in our life, finances, and material comforts. We might be re-assessing relationships not only with other people but with things like money, food, social media, etc., and we’re looking at our relationship to ourself. 

💫Mercury in Gemini being in a square to Neptune makes our mental health a huge focus–some people may be struggling mentally, and some people may be taking more action to improve their mental health or nurture their mind. If you know mental health will be an area of focus for you or this square has a heavy impact in your personal chart, be sure to take care of yourself and be patient with yourself as you sort through any mental health challenges that may arise. This energy will pass.

🌱This new moon will highlight new beginnings, new environments, making progress in your life. It is unlikely that things which enter your life now will be things you have experienced before–get ready for something new and unexpected. If things break on you during this time, you’ll likely have to replace them rather than repair them. This includes situations and relationships.

💫Since the new moon is in Gemini, and Mercury rules Gemini, be on the lookout for a message from the divine or from spirit. As Messenger of the Gods, Mercury will bring to you hidden information or truths now, as long as you’re paying attention and trust your intuitive insights. Since the moon is the subconscious, intuition, and emotions, you might be discovering these truths through subtle insights, or how things make you feel.

🌱Because of the new moon in Gemini and many other Gemini influences in the sky right now, the area of your chart where Gemini resides will become active right now. Look at any houses and planets that are influenced by gemini in your personal chart.

💫Mercury is also conjunct to Venus retrograde now until June 3rd, which suggests that people will be coming into or back into your life. The collective right now is making connections with people who are a vibrational match to where we are headed. This is the time for moving forward and outgrowing old patterns, exploring new territory. Pay attention to who reaches out to you during this transit and around the time of the new moon. Again, the dynamic of these people will be different to what you have previously known or experienced.

🌱We’re spending time decluttering our lives in order to bring in this new and exciting Gemini energy. We’re unveiling the truths in our lives and finally able to gain a bit of clarity. 

💫However, we could also be faced with a lot of indecision–especially if any of your personal planets fall within the mid-degrees (15-25) of mutable signs–these would be places that you personally are feeling indecisive or confused. This indecision is coming mainly from the Mars in Pisces square to the new moon in Gemini.

🌱Things are growing quickly and may come in multiples. Things that start now, during this new moon, are likely to have effect on your life in the long-term future.

Hi, I'm Ai. I have a question if you're still doing free readings? I've been feeling called to one or two gods/goddesses but I've never worked with deities before and I can't really decipher who it is from tarot alone. Are you able to tell me who it is? (Or they if it's more than one?)

I’m not really advanced enough to identify deities really for other people, its been a struggle even for just myself as someone who’s a beginner but I did pull a few cards for you! Maybe my insight will help you out.

I think the knight of wands card will be your clue here as to who it is. I see the figure in that card being the deity and you being guided by it towards the three of cups and seven of pentacles. whoever this deity is, they are a person of action and ambition, motivation, words that involve doing and going for it. three of cups is about celebrating and happy times and love energy, especially in groups perhaps like gatherings. and seven of pentacles is about your hard work finally paying off and being able to see the growth of what you’ve planted. Your deity is saying aim for this, the arrow is there and they are holding it, you just have to run and go for it. You could possibly have more deities, but this is only one that came through i’m feeling

Things to Consider in a Tarot Reading (Other Than Card Meanings)

It’s important to look at the meanings of tarot cards, but it’s very possible to pull even more out of a reading that individual card meanings. Here’s some other stuff you might consider bringing into your interpretation when it feels right:

🍄The position of the cards. This is why spread design can be so important! I’ve had instances where all the cards, in their positions, had the subjects looking or pointing towards one specific card. It was wild. What did it mean? Maybe nothing, but maybe something very significant, depending on the question!

🍄The visual element of the cards. Sometimes what’s depicted on the card can give more specific insight than the actual book meanings. The pictures were done that way for a reason, so don’t be afraid to give them their own weight! Also, sometimes the spread as a whole will have a flow of design (like when one half is much brighter than the other) or a specific card is WAY more colorful than the other cards on the table. Any of these could potentially carry meaning.

🍄Jumper cards. This is when a card pops out while you’re shuffling! I usually just put them back… UNLESS the question has already been presented, and I’m shuffling with that question in mind. Then, I keep them as extra advice, bonus cards.

🍄Reoccurring numbers. Maybe you do a four card spread for a friend, and you get the four of cups, four of swords, four of wands, and the Emperor! (IV.) What does that mean? What does the number four symbolize? Well, a lot of things, potentially, depending on what you study. Some tarot designs incorporate the Kabbalah’s numbered paths in the tree of life, others go with numerology. Maybe, the number four just means something special to you or the querent in particular.

🍄A bunch of cards in order. I’m not talking about when you forget to shuffle. I’m talking about when you give it a really good shuffle and you still get the ace, two, and three of Pentacles all in a row. This can be seen as a sign of progression, or that the events are all much more closely connected than anticipated. It can also mean it happens over a shorter period of time than normal. It’s up to you, your cards, and the contexts.

🍄Proportions of different features. Maybe you’re doing an obstacle spread, and your obstacle is something like the nine of swords. That’s pretty nasty, but if all the other cards in the spread are Major Arcana, then it’s probably not going to be that difficult to surmount. The reverse can also be true. Additionally, a high number of reversed cards in a spread typically signifies a lot of confusion, conflict, and turmoil.

🍄Reoccurring symbols. Beyond just the four suits, because that’s a given! But maybe your spread shows a lot of cards with images of fire, people dancing, or birds. Do these mean anything to you or the querent? What do they typically symbolize?

🍄Any hiccups or unusual events during the reading. Once I had a querent pick up a card to examine it, drop it, then pick it up and put it back reversed. Since it was the overall outcome card, I interpreted that as a heightened ability to change her own fate in this given situation, since she had turned the card from quite a bad omen to a good one. Sometimes little accidents like dropping cards, accidentally shifting them, or laying out the spread wrong are meant to be there and add to the meaning!

I hope this gives you some ideas! Feel free to add more. What do you interpret alongside the cards in a reading?

[strawbryxomystic]

If you still do free readings may I request one on what's blocking me from my manifestations coming true? I've been trying to manifest money through income streams but I can't see it paying off yet and i'm starting to get discouraged eventho i've been seeing various signs to be patient. Thank you hun! - LS scorpio/virgo/sag 💗

Sure! 

I’m kinda reading this multiple ways, so you tell me what you think!

Because of the World card, I almost feel like this has to do with the current crisis we’re all in ‘in the world’ and whoever or whatever is trying to help you, the Queen of Cups, is trying to help you manifest your goals but it also has to do it in a way that is realistic in terms of what is happening in the world. 

I also see it maybe as internal, you could be struggling to manifest because you’re sort of unbalanced right now in terms of finances, maybe your job isn’t the best fit right now or maybe you’re going back and forth between paying bills and having money, not so much ‘struggling’ but definitely there is money juggling itself around you, but the World and Queen of cups will be there when you figure it out and offer you success.

Hey!! I'm PR Gemini-western Sagittarius-hindu .Can you ask my guides that I did correct by messaging to GD Sagittarius and will he reply back?

Hello! I know this was kind of a more time sensitive one so instead I’m going to give you advice on the situation 

I get the feeling someone, probably you, is giving out time and energy that isn’t being reciprocated, and its leading to miscommunication and disharmony, i think you are a very independent and compassionate person who might need an extra push to try to force the other person to listen to you and hear you out, because the nine of wands is telling you not to give up.

i redid my altar today, its so pretty! i put a lot of thought and symbolism into it, and im going to go a little in depth. 

the shelf at the top represents deities i worship, the two paintings are aphrodite and hades. the panpipes represent hermes and apollo, the little figures of animals represent persephone and demeter, and the sugar skull represents santa muerte. theres a little bit of snake skin out of view but that represents hekete. 

the mirror at the bottom in the middle, represents the human ego, the baseline of morals. at the bottom is an animal pelt, and next to those are representations of “good” and “evil”. 

the coyote skull represents life and death, which sprout from eachother. the mortal and pestle represents man, women and those who break the binary. and the incense and crystals represent earth and her energies. the pearls represent the foundation of love, all types of it (basing this after the greek types). the bark and smudges in the middle represent the protection that comes from love. 

the crystals and divination tools represent the energy and strength the divine give us. and of course the cup, crystals, candles and incense represent water, earth, fire and air. 

blessed be!!

[strawbryxomystic]

Hi there I would like a free reading please. I am wondering about my love life in the future. Thank you so much -AM (Libra)

Hii!!!

Here is your reading :)

I get the feeling that the next relationship you or the person might be a bit stuck in the past about an old relationship that may have been traumatizing or regretful, but I think with seven of pentacles it is saying the both of you work hard to overcome that, the relationship can be fruitful.

[strawbryxomystic]

[witches-ofcolor]

Is it weird for a non black poc like me to find it uncomfortable that white witches try to appropriate non black poc traditions? For example white witches trying to appropriate middle Eastern culture by trying to claim membership into worship of Mesopotamian, Assyrian, Babylonian and even Egyptian pantheons? It feels really yikes????

Why would it be weird? I think it’s perfectly normal to fel uncomfortable about appropriation, no matter the ethnicity or race. 

[vaguelyconcernedtriangle]

Religion is either open to everyone or it is a cult.

Not to mention the fact that no one really has exclusive claim to the gods of a culture that’s been dead for millennia.

[witches-ofcolor]

This is really Eurocentric, gross, and incredibly racist. Sorry that you've had such terrible experiences with white religions but leave our cultural and folk traditions out of it. You truly have no idea what youre talking about. You just seem edgy and dumb.
