weekly pick-a-card for 7/6/20

I know, I know, I’m late a day. We’re also gonna shake it up this week because... I got a gorgeous new oracle deck! 

The rules? Simple. Pick a card pile and a crystal that speak to you, then click “read more” and you’ll get a reading with some messages from the universe for this week. 

Left pile - Citrine Center pile - Hematite Right pile - Hematoid Quartz 

Left pile - Citrine

So I randomly picked from among my stones and pulled this little citrine. I should really get a picture, it’s loaded with rainbows and good energy. Citrine is a stone representing the energy of the sun, positivity, light and abundance. 

Your tarot card for the week is the reversed six of swords. Upright, this is a card I usually read about leaving a situation with help. The fact that it’s reversed suggests to me that you’re stuck on something that’s preventing you from moving on to where you need or want to be. Maybe you’re resisting change. There’s some disconnect between your heart and your mind. 

I look at those other two cards and I think the key to moving past whatever blockage you might be experiencing is to look within. Try some meditation or journaling, talk with a friend who cares about you and gets you, draw it out, whatever you gotta do. Put yourself in a place of peace and get some chill - the serenity card - and reflect on getting your heart and mind on the same page.

What is it you want? (Does it have to do with the happiness and positivity of the citrine you chose?) What’s holding you back - is it within your control? If it is, now is the time to start working on it. Let go, take a leap, whatever you need to do. If circumstances beyond your control are in your way, take a look at them. This might be a time for peace and acceptance, and it might help to shift your thinking about these obstacles and begin to regard them merely as delays.

Center pile - Hematite

Hematite is a stone used for grounding, calming, and balancing. Interestingly, it’s a stone that can be magnetized, so sometimes I regard it as a stone capable of subtle attraction of energies, like it can pull negativity off of you.

The tarot card I pulled for your pile is reversed strength. Which like, off the bat could be read as a blockage or reversal of strength, weakness even. I think this is a message about vulnerability and insecurity, specifically. And I think those two oracle cards coupled together are a reassuring message.

So let’s break down the reversed strength coupled with the hematite. This stone specifically is shiny like a mirror, but the reflections are all distorted. Which like . . . I’m getting a message that some belief about yourself that you hold, some viewpoint about yourself, is likewise distorted. And this is where the vulnerability and insecurity is coming from. So a message this week is to examine what you’re insecure about through a lens of groundedness and reality, rather than distortion or bias.

In regards to the other two cards, I think they are a message that you have to “trust in the journey.” The path to self-love and achieving your goals is likely a long one, it won’t happen overnight. It’s not always easy. You won’t always feel stong and brave, and that’s okay. You just have to trust that if you keep going, you’ll get there in time.

Right pile - Hematoid quartz

Look these were random pulls for my crystals, haha, but hematoid quartz is just quartz that has inclusions of hematite in it. So hematite has the properties of grounding and balancing, and quartz has the properties of amplification and clarity, so I think this is a super strong stone for meditating and introspection.

The tarot card I pulled for your pile is death. This might seem like a scary card, and it can be heavy, but it’s not a message about actual deaths. It’s a message about change and endings so that new things can come through. Something in your life might be shifting and changing, and that might be hard for you. The hematoid quartz connection is throwing me a little honestly, but I think it might be a smaller or more subtle change that feels bigger to you than it might look to others. So don’t feel bad about how you react to stuff. It might even be as small as finishing a TV show you were really into. I’m joking a little, but, no matter what is ending for you, this is a message to move on and be kind to yourself about whatever you’re feeling, but also not to dwell. This is a time to make a new pattern.

I think the community card is a message to, of course, connect with others. Lean on your friends, reach out to them. This also suggests to me that you’ve got a connection to an identity of people you can tap into, whether it’s people of your demographic group, people with similar interests and hobbies, people in your neighborhood, etc. This is a reminder to stay connected to them too.

And the explore card is I think a message to reach out and embrace whatever new thing is coming your way, even if you can’t see it yet. You might go down a completely new path for this, or find a new community to enjoy. 

-------------------------------------------------

And that’s it folks! Man I really need to invest in a nice tarot cloth (I’m uh... using a t-shirt right now) and taking actually clear pictures. Sorry y’all.

Poll time.... should I do these here on this blog or would it be better on my personal blog @golden-states? It’s just that this blog has active followers and my personal blog is so old it’s mostly inactive folks now. I also used to b a fitblr in my earliest tumblr days. oof. 

Anyway enough rambling... hope this resonated with some of y’all. Feel free to reblog if it did!

6/28/20 weekly pick-a-card

Pick a card/crystal combo and it’ll give you a message from the universe for this upcoming week. (click “keep reading” for the reveal) 

1. Sunstone   ✨  2. Snowflake obsidian   ✨  3. Angelite

1. Sunstone: Reversed Three of Cups

Sunstone represents brightness and embodies the energy of the sun. It’s a stone about abundance, nourishment and self-care, and confidence.

Upright, the three of cups represents socializing, celebrating, shared happiness, time with friends. The reversed three of cups is a blockage of that energy, going so far as to represent jealousy or alienation.

Together, I think this stone and card are a message to you to take care of yourself this week and not worry so much about what others are doing, or what their opinions are. Don’t rely too much on others this week, instead look within for the answers you need. Trust yourself! Believe in yourself! While your friends and family may be a reliable support system, it’s important to know you can tap into your independence and make sure you can take care of yourself, too.  

2. Snowflake Obsidian: Reversed Hanged Man

Snowflake obsidian is a centering and grounding stone. Obsidian on its own is generally used as a stone like a mirror to reflect our inner selves. Snowflake obsidian is great for drawing your thoughts to the surface to examine them, while staying grounded and secure, removing negativity, and looking objectively.

The hanged man upright is a card about patience and stillness, maybe feeling stuck but needing to remain still to see the way out/forward. The reversed hanged man is a card I usually read as trapping yourself, staying where you are for no reason, futility, and stalling. 

Whatever you’re holding onto, let it go. Whatever’s not working in your life, move on. You need to do what works for you so you can be freeing yourself, and advancing. The snowflake obsidian I think is a message to be gentle with yourself, practice mindfulness, and stay positive and peaceful. No need to cut ties permanently with something, but this is a sign that it’s time to start moving on. 

3. Angelite: The Empress

Angelite is a stone about peace and compassion, and is used to enhance attaining higher levels of consciousness and communication.

The empress is a card representing motherly energy, security and comfort, nurturing, and sometimes tapping into creative energy.

Together, I think this card and stone are telling you to go easy on yourself this week. Treat yourself with love and kindness. You deserve peace and to give yourself some grace. This week would also be a great time to help, support, or mentor someone else. Look for ways you can share kindness with others, so long as you are in a position to give love and energy. You can’t fill others’ cups when yours is empty. So take care of yourself and those around you with extra intent and focus this week.

i’m using the Llewellyn tarot, and because I’m lazy, didn’t put on a pretty/fancy background. Stay tuned for next week’s reading on Sunday 7/5/20!

weekly tarot pick-a-card, 7/12/20

hi friends you know the drill - pick one of these sets below [amethyst (left), amazonite (center), or rose quartz (right)] and i’ll send u some signs for the upcoming week :)

Left set - Amethyst

You got the four of pentacles for your tarot, a card about material stability. It’s also a card about gathering power, maybe momentum even, in achieving your goals. Finally, something is starting to feel secure and stable. (I’m almost getting a vibe here about clinging to something, so maybe what’s settling out is actually stagnating. Be aware of that.)

I think the reflection card coupled with the amethyst (a stone used for protection, intuition) make up a message to examine the things you’re holding onto. The figure on the tarot card is holding one of the pentacles close to him, he’s got another two under his feet. What are you protecting, that you might fear to lose?

There’s also a pentacle at the figure’s head, which I read as potential to expand in new directions. If you weren’t holding on so tight to what you already have, what else could you welcome into your life? What could you let go of? Evaluate whether this security you’ve found is serving you, or if it’s tying you up.

Center set - Amazonite

There’s a lot of movement going on here!!! You got the ace of wands as your tarot card. Wands are a fire suit about movement and energy. And the ace of wands is about new beginnings - rising to a challenge, opportunity, and inspiration.

The amazonite is a stone named after the Amazon river, which in turn was named after the group of female warriors from Greek mythology. So there’s a connection to power and courage. For modern uses, it’s a stone used as an energy filter, or to promote hope and empowerment, as well as clarity of the mind.

I’d say all of these together are a message to HOP ON IT!!! Believe in yourself, your ship is coming in and now’s the time to swim out to meet it if you gotta! The direction card specifically is a message to take a look at your compass - channel this inspiration and make sure you’re charging in the direction you really want and need to be going in. Harness this energy so that it serves you. You’re in control here.

Right set - Rose quartz

Your tarot card this week is the reversed page of wands. Upright, I read this card as a card about self-expression, flexibility, and openness. So I’d read its reversal as a blockage of this - you’re in a headspace that isn’t conducive to those things. Maybe you’re not presenting the true version of yourself, you’re blocked off to receiving truths about yourself, you’re holding onto rigid, outdated beliefs. The rose quartz is a stone I use for promoting self love. So this card coupled with this stone suggests to me that something’s going on with your self-image and the way you love and express yourself. 

The explore card I think is a message to explore your inner self. What are you holding back on? What are you trying to bury about yourself, what truths can you uncover that you can share with others (if you like, if you feel safe)?

Another message I receive from the reversed page of wands is to take your time. This reversal suggests pessimism and haste, so I think a sign this week is to go easy on yourself and come forward with your inner truths when you’re ready and the time is right. Transformation takes time, there’s no rush. Just be kind to yourself.

i would love a general 3 card spread :) i'm concerned with how to best occupy my time and what to focus on during this strange time.

Oh yeah I feel ya, for sure. The three cards I pulled are:

Justice

This is a card about, well, justice. Truth and clarity, consequences, life lessons, cause/effect.

Reversed page of pentacles

Upright, this is a card about reliability, hard work, and focus. Its reversal is about laziness, stalled communication, or even spending too much time working/studying that your social life suffers.

Reversed king of pentacles

Upright, it’s a card about balance, determination, material success. Its reversal is about a lack of control, even corruption.

So given the context, I’d interpret these three cards as a general read on what the situation is right now. I think Justice is an especially strong message to focus on what you know to be true, and focus on the facts of your reality as it affects you and your community. 

I think it’s interesting that you got two reversed pentacles, being that pentacles are a suit that details your outer surroundings (rather than inner feelings/thoughts), which suggests that your surroundings are really affecting you right now. Pages are usually about communication, so I think that the page is a message to make sure you’re reaching out to your friends and family, not just to socialize but to genuinely check in on them.

Even tying that in with the justice card, it might be a message to focus on social justice issues. part of that could be checking in on local businesses, disabled people, people who’ve lost their jobs or are disproportionally affected by the virus, etc. It might be good for you to get involved in a cause greater than yourself to get out of your own head a little bit, whether that means donating time/money, or just delving into becoming more aware of social justice issues. Maybe even just call your grandma or something!

The reversed king of pentacles is giving me the message that you need to find your balance and find some way to feel in control of your situation. Whether that means making a to-do list and sticking to it, not letting your whims/vices rule you (screen time, snacks, napping), etc. I have in my notes that this card tells me the message, “Keep your word.” So if you said you were going to do something, try to accomplish it!

The king of pentacles upright is also a card about being proud of yourself. So also, I think its reversal is a sign that you need to remember that this is a tough time, and you’re handling it the best you can, and not to be too rough on yourself if you need to step back and do some self care. 

Hope this helps!!!!!! Good luck to you, hope you stay safe, healthy, and happy.

ok great, could I get a reading about my career? everything is so uncertain rn and a major concern is where I will end up with my job and career and I'd love any insight the cards can give 💕 thank you

Yeah sure! I’m in the same boat honestly. I’ll pull 3 cards for you:

Reversed king of cups

Upright, this is a card about compassion, control, and balance. I’d say the reversal is about a loss or blockage of these. You might be letting your emotions guide you right now, when you need to explore situations with a more logical form of open mindedness. 

Reversed seven of cups

Upright, this card represents a variety of options and possibilities, so this reversal indicates a lack of choice, grim reality, feeling trapped. Alternatively, I have in my notes a message to beware of something being too good to be true.

Reversed seven of swords

Upright this is a card about self victimization, but I think its reversal means you’re turning over a new leaf, letting go of outside expectations.

So, overall, this might look like a pretty bleak reading, but I think the key lies with the seven of swords. It’s letting go of anything self-sabotaging or letting go of something that’s holding you back. I’m really getting a sense of your current imbalance and worry from a) what you said and b) the cards in this reading, so I also pulled a card about what form the solution might take, or what you need to focus on to resolve your worries and improve your situation. I pulled the reversed four of swords. That’s a card, upright, about rest and recovery from burnout. So I think this means, you’re facing burnout, but you’ve got to be in a state of awakening and mental strength, and it represents an ultimate recovery.  The key is self-care, that’s a message I have in my notes for this card. This is no time for sleeping, you’ve got to wake up and hop on it.

So yeah, I think the advice here is, don’t sleep, don’t slack. Don’t see yourself as a victim or put yourself in a victim mindset, you’ve got to rise above despair and any self-pity. (Take a five minute pity party if you need it, but then keep moving!) Use your logic to examine the paths before you and doors open to you. Don’t mind the closed doors, just keep on moving. The only way out is through.

I think you’re gonna be okay in the end, it’ll just take some focus and determination. Good luck to you :)

for the tarot reading, 💕👽 I’m waiting on admission to a masters program I really hope I get into, how should I be feeling about that?

For you I pulled the seven of pentacles. Interestingly, this is a card about things coming to fruition. It’s about a manifestation of ideals or goals. You’re almost there!!! I think this card is a good sign and you should relax. Even if this masters program doesn’t work out, there are other avenues of success available to you, I’m sure. But I have a good feeling about this one. :)
