🚨 Someone is checking your social media… WHO and WHY? 😲

Are you ready for some intuitive work?

Pick the collage you’re instinctively drawn to.

Don’t overthink it.

1. Person: 9 of Cups and Queen of Cups • The Why/Thoughts: Knight of Wands and Page of Pentacles

This is not a casual viewer. This is someone who feels you.

With the 9 of Cups + Queen of Cups, this person is emotionally invested in you in a way that borders on indulgent. The 9 of Cups is wish fulfillment. So right off the bat, you are someone they enjoy watching. You’re not stressful to them, you’re not confusing at all…you’re satisfying. There’s a sense of “I like what I see, I like how they make me feel, and I keep coming back for more.”

Layer that with the Queen of Cups, and now we’re getting into someone who is deeply intuitive, emotionally aware, and attached quietly. This is not loud obsession. It’s soft fixation. This person picks up on your moods and if your energy shifts in any way whatsoever, they notice. Yes, even through a screen! They read between the lines of your posts. If your tone changes even a tad, they pick up on it. If you disappear, they feel it.

Who is this, realistically?

This points strongly to someone who already has an emotional bond with you. This can be past or present. Someone who understands you, or at least believes they do.

So, this could be somebody you had a romantic or emotional connection with, a situationship that never fully closed, or someone who developed feelings and never said it outright.

Now let’s talk about what’s going on in their head.

With the Knight of Wands + Page of Pentacles, their thoughts are…pretty impulsive, curious, and slightly all over the place.

The Knight of Wands is attraction, desire, and movement. When they look at your page, their first reaction is physical and immediate. Baby, you catch their attention fast. They might feel these urges to reach out, react, or say something that is bold (at least to them)… but they don’t always follow through.

Then the Page of Pentacles grounds it. This is the part of them that slows down and starts observing more carefully. They’re studying you, watching how you move, what you post, what you’re building, and who you interact with. There’s a “let me learn more before I act” energy.

So their thought process looks like they go from, “Damn… they look good.” (Knight of Wands hits first) To then going, “Should I say something?” And then it’s, “No… wait. Let me watch a little more.” (Page of Pentacles steps in) “What are they doing lately? Who are they around? Are they growing? Are they different?”

They go back and forth between wanting to act and choosing to closely observe.

This is someone who checks your page often not just because they like you, but because they’re invested in your evolution. They’re watching your story unfold in real time!

✨

2. Person: Strength, 8 of Wands, 3 of Cups • The Why/Thoughts: Ace of Pentacles reversed, High Priestess reversed

This person is still in your social orbit but now there’s hesitation, delay, and a very intentional pullback in how they engage with you.

With Strength + 8 of Wands reversed + 3 of Cups, we’re still looking at someone connected to you through friends, mutuals, or shared spaces. This isn’t a stranger lurking in the shadows. This is someone who knows you/knows of you, sees you around, or has direct/indirect access to your life.

Here’s the twist. The 8 of Wands reversed shows that their interaction with your content is not natural or free-flowing. They are not reacting quickly, not engaging openly, not liking everything in real time. In fact, it can look like them watching your stories later instead of immediately, viewing but not liking, typing something… and deleting it, and intentionally slowing themselves down.

Then you’ve got Strength, which now hits harder. This is someone actively restraining themselves. Not just casually holding back. They are actually disciplining themselves not to act.

With the 3 of Cups, this still ties them to your social environment. It would be like a friend who pulled back, a mutual who’s keeping distance, and/or someone who used to interact more freely but doesn’t anymore.

This can even be somebody who has to see you in group settings and is trying to “stay normal” while quietly monitoring you online.

Now let’s get into their thoughts because this is where the internal conflict really shows.

With the Ace of Pentacles reversed + High Priestess reversed, this person does not feel secure about what they’re seeing…and they don’t even trust their own read on you.

The Ace of Pentacles reversed shows them being like, “I missed my chance with them.” “This isn’t something I can build on anymore.” “There’s no real opening here… or I messed it up.”

So when they check your social media, there’s already a sense of loss or limitation.

Then the High Priestess reversed comes in messy. This is someone who overanalyzes your posts, reads into things that may not be there, and feels like they “know something” about you… but can’t confirm it.

So their thought process goes from “Let me check… but not too fast.” Then to, “Okay… what are they really trying to say here?” And next, “This feels indirect… is this about me?” Then, “No, I’m probably overthinking… but still…” And finally, “Yeah… I shouldn’t reach out.”

There’s a push-pull happening internally because they want to engage but they feel like they can’t…and instead, they sit back and quietly spiral in interpretation.

This person checks your social media out of controlled curiosity. They’re trying to keep emotional distance while still staying informed.

And if we’re being blunt about it, there looks like a mix of missed opportunity, suspicion, and restraint here.

✨

3. Person: 8 of Pentacles reversed, 9 of Swords • The Why/Thoughts: 4 of Pentacles reversed, Ace of Cups reversed, 3 of Pentacles reversed

This is the heaviest pile and honestly, the most uncomfortable.

With the 8 of Pentacles reversed + 9 of Swords, this is someone who is not doing well…and you are part of what’s on their mind.

The 8 of Pentacles reversed shows someone who feels like they’ve failed, given up, or can’t get it together. There’s insecurity around effort, progress, or self-worth.

Then the 9 of Swords is anxiety, overthinking, and late-night spirals. This person is not casually checking your page. They are doom-scrolling you.

Who is this?

Somebody who feels like they messed something up with you, maybe someone who compares their life to yours and feels behind, and/or a person who associates you with stress, regret, or “what could’ve been.”

Now their thoughts… oh, honey this is where we really get into it.

With the 4 of Pentacles reversed + Ace of Cups reversed + 3 of Pentacles reversed, everything is slipping for them emotionally.

The 4 of Pentacles reversed shows loss of control. When they look at your page, they feel like they’re losing their grip…on emotions, on the situation, and on themselves.

The Ace of Cups reversed is blocked emotion, emotional pain, and even bitterness. There are feelings here that never got expressed properly, or got rejected.

Then the 3 of Pentacles reversed is disconnection, lack of teamwork, and things not working out. They feel like whatever this was between you…it failed.

So their thought process goes like, “I shouldn’t be looking at this…” To, “Why am I still checking?” Next, “They seem fine… better than fine.” Then, “Meanwhile I’m… here.” Or, “We could’ve had something different.” Even like, “Or maybe I just messed it all up.”

This person doesn’t check your page because it feels good. They check because they can’t let go.

There’s regret, comparison, and emotional blockage all tangled together. And every time they look, it reopens something they haven’t healed.

(This could also be a potentially scary situation, to be honest. The person isn’t mentally well, they seek you out knowing it’s going to make their thoughts spiral… If you really feel a pull to this pile, I would stay very aware just to be safe. It might absolutely be nothing malicious at all! However, I feel it’s important to make people aware of all the possibilities the cards hold, especially if there is the smallest chance of safety issues or anything like that.)

the art of tarot reading

sometimes the cards feel like a puzzle with missing pieces. you know what each card means on its own, but when they’re sitting there together on the table, it’s just... silence.

i created this guide because i wanted to move past that 'dictionary phase.' i wanted to be the one holding the map to have the freedom to sit down with my deck at any hour and actually understand the story it was trying to tell me, without always needing to look elsewhere for clarity.

this 47-page masterclass is for the reader who is ready to bridge the gap between simple definitions and real intuition. it’s about learning the hidden language of the cards so you can finally trust what you’re seeing, on your own terms.

here is what we’re diving into:

rules of the table: how card hierarchy and the way figures face each other can pivot the entire message of a spread.

crossroads & future potentials: specific reading algorithms to help you navigate "option a vs. option b" with total clarity.

contextual shifts: how one card ‘changes clothes’ depending on whether you’re asking about love, money, or your spiritual path.

the reader’s formula: my 3-card algorithm (foundation, catalyst, and evolution) to help you build a solid and honest story every single time you shuffle.

to give you a glimpse of how we actually decode these patterns inside:

the manipulative return: if you ask about an ex and see the devil + 7 of swords + the tower, the universe is handing you a warning. it’s a sign that the return isn't coming to heal, but to dismantle. the foundation is rooted in obsession, and the moves being made are strategic rather than honest.

the cloud of uncertainty: when the moon + 4 of cups + 8 of cups appear together, it’s like a silent fog. the obstacle is an unspoken fear. if the figure in the 8 of cups is turned away, it means you’re not actually stuck you’re just clinging to old patterns that no longer fulfill you.

the rules of the table: we look at the direction of the gaze. if the figure in the 8 of pentacles is facing toward a difficult card, it means you’ve accepted the change and are ready to work. if their back is turned, it’s a sign of temporary exhaustion or resistance.

it’s about more than just learning tarot; it’s about reclaiming your own inner dialogue and building a path you actually feel confident in.

How do one learn tarot, or connect with the cards, I recently brought a deck and cleansed it accordingly but im struggling to connect with my deck. Thank you lovelyy

before i do any readings, i close my eyes and shuffle the cards and say some affirmations such as “i am connected with these cards” “they will guide me to the answers for my questions” “i will use my intuition and energy to guide myself to my answers” while playing some calming music in the background or sometimes subliminal music that you can find on youtube. sometimes i try to imagine a light circling around my body and making its way to my deck just get some energy flowing between the cards and i!

i also recommend watching some videos on tarot such as guides and buying some crystals. i recommend amethyst, labradorite, black tourmaline, smoky & clear quartz, and citrine!

tarot observation: a small difference between the two knights

i found this difference while doing a reading for someone and this is probably something that totally isn’t new. i’ve seen this difference before but i’ve never took the time out to really examine what could be going on here. i just thought that this was interesting when i read it & maybe it could help anyone else with future interpretations since the courts can be tricky sometimes.

knight of swords

he seems more determined. he knows where he’s going and he’s aggressively going for it. he’s going so fast with his eyes on the prize. his horse looks unsure (and honestly a little shocked lol) but it’s racing to where we’re going anyway.

knight of wands

what i found funny was that this was all happening opposite with this knight. his horse looks more sure, while he looks a little unsure to me. what’s driving this knight is the fire element, so he’s passionate and spontaneous. so to me the look on his face reads “i don’t know where i’m going, but we’re going.” very… “fuck it we ball” vibes. and the thing about spontaneity is that because it’s unplanned, we often don’t know what’s on the other side, but we’re doing it anyway.

just a little observation, and i hope this does something for someone. because i did not notice this until i pulled the knight of wands for a friend and was immediately reminded of the difference of demeanors between these two knights & their horses.

On the Importance of Asking Better Questions

When you think of tarot, what is the first thing that comes to mind? For many people, it's "predicting the future."

This, in my opinion, is not what tarot is suited for.

Your question is a tool. The tarot cards are also a tool. An appropriate question is the screw, the tarot the screwdriver. However, most people don't know how to ask an appropriate question. Liken it to a nail instead. You can try to use a screwdriver on a nail, but your results are going to be... lacking.

So, how do we turn the nail into a screw?

First, let's understand what makes a nail.

What makes a weak question?

A weak question starts with the word "will." Why? When you ask if something will happen, you are relinquishing control. You are the driving force in your own life, and when you ask "will" you are taking your hands off the steering wheel of life. This is generally ill advised. Examples of weak questions:

Will ZZ and I get back together?

Will I get a job by the end of the month?

Will I be alone my whole life?

Will I ever be able to move out?

Will I be rich?

These questions are free of personal will, and when our will is not being exerted, then how can we expect to achieve the desired result? The answer is simply that we cannot.

In order to turn a weak question into a powerful one, we must reflect on ourselves. When you find yourself asking a weak question, interrogate your own motives and wants. If you are wondering if you and your ex are going to get back together- do you really want your ex back? Or are you just afraid of being alone? If it's the latter, then the question you really want to ask is: how do I manifest a committed and loving relationship with my ideal partner?

Do you see how this is a more effective question to ask? One leaves you going with the flow. The other identifies your desire, and provides you with concrete answers to help you achieve it.

Let's go ahead and transform the other example questions:

How do I get a position at my ideal workplace?

How can I manifest a life of meaningful connections with others?

What do I need to do in order to move out?

How do I become rich?

If you enjoy receiving tarot readings, I encourage you to try doing this with your questions. Not only will your tarot readers be overjoyed, they will also be able to give you a much more helpful response! A more helpful response means a bigger benefit for you.

And, if you are a tarot reader yourself, I encourage you to help your querents create stronger questions. I understand that it can be frustrating, and of course it isn't your responsibility either. But, if we as tarot readers want to start receiving better questions, we do have to play some part in making that happen.
