Occasionally, my post about the not taking abuse for how/when offering a free service (divination, art, whatever, it all works the same, but tarot was the focus) gets new notes.

And I smile, knowing that I just encouraged one more person to be one less person who takes that crap.

Happy spoopy day. If it’s your thing, may your day be joyous. If your day is more somber, may your reflection and reverence be fruitful.

Me? I’m gonna carve some spoopy pumpkins, watch some fav movies, and maybe send some thoughts out into the world. Also my fiancee is gonna make a yummy chili and I am psyched. I love Autumn.

Hi there! I really need some help and I was wondering if you could do a reading for me... I have a friend who I think she has feelings for me, and I don't know what to do... So could you ask, "what does tatiana feel about me?" I would appreciate that a lot, please... if you can't, its fine and I understand.. good vibes for you

Hello there. A warning first, that Sassity will not ever do readings about the other person in relationship questions like this. The connection of the reading is between the cards and the person asking of them, not anyone else. Second warning, Sassity is MEAN about love questions. It’s not personal on my behalf. That said, my personal number one advice in “do they like me” queries is usually… Have you asked them? Have you asked yourself what you would do if the answer was yes, if the answer was no? Food for thought!

Sassity sez:Time to be bold and enterprising. If you want something, including knowledge, you have to set out for it and acquire it. Most things in life will not come us, we have to go to them. It’s time to put on the hiking boots. However, in this journey, you need to realize that the journey is not about yourself - you’re asking about someone else’s heart… and you need to not judge the result based upon yourself. Hearts are fickle, fragile, and whimsical, very rarely controlled by logic. Be cautious about putting off some self-searching about this situation. What do you want from it? What are you expecting? What if what you find is nothing like you imagined? Projection of ourselves onto others is the number one failing in any sort of connection.(Three of Wands, Inverted Judgement, Inverted Lovers)May your footsteps be worth it!

Hi Snowy! I got really attached to someone but it looks like the universe wants to throw everything in my face so that I lose them. Any advice from Sassity is more than welcome! Thanks

Hey Cabin! It’s good to see you again. <3 Glad to know you’re still around and kickin’ it, and I’m honored for your continued patronage. Good luck with your Person, eh? Feel free to hit me up just for some chatting. I’ll put the kettle on.

Sassity sez:Time to cut the bullshit, eh? No minced words between us, you know us by now. The Queen is a call to demand honesty and clarity, both from yourself and others. You may be hellbent on keeping them, but if the Universe and/or the Person isn’t putting in the work too, is that a sign? Is there equity in the attachment? Be wary of pigeon-holing “me/us against the world” thought. While we tend to want signs, sometimes a bad string of luck is just a bad string of luck… be wary of ignoring the potential that it COULD be a bad connection for you (Maybe because they aren’t as invested in the attachment as you are/don’t want emotional equity, hmm?). Getting sucked up into the novelty of a connection we cherish can place us in a blind vacuum, where we aren’t seeing the bigger picture and we aren’t seeing the Truth of the other person because we’re infatuated with the intensity and novelty of the other person. TL;DR? Be clear and concise in communication, be honest about the goings ons, and don’t fall victim to emotional blinders.(Queen of Swords, Inverted Knight of Swords, Inverted Four of Cups)

What will become of the situation? Sassity can be as harsh as possible. I'm in a very frazzled state because of said situation. I like sassity's clear cut advice, so any would be appreciated. Thanks!

I can respect looking for that harsh, cutting insight. It signals to me a real desire to truly work on a problem. You have my utmost empathy. Good luck to you, and yours.

Sassity sez:There is an individual that is the crux of your outcome, someone charismatic and passionate… but who naturally brings conflict with them. After all, no partnership is without it’s faults no matter how seamless, and with intense emotion is often intense strife. This does not necessarily indicate a romantic/sexual outcome, so be wary of pigeonholing this person. If it’s yourself, watch how far out you extend your blade when you strike. Release from the frazzle is coming, and resolution of the turmoil is on the horizon - that doesn’t mean it will be easy or simple, but healing IS coming/possible in your scenario. We actively caution against peering for simplicity or longing for how it “used to be”, it will harm and hamper you both in the present and going forward. Don’t look too far forward for solutions, this puzzle will need to be solved in the now.

May your footsteps be worth it!

Day 8: Who I Have Been - King of Cups - Ah, self controlled benevolent ruler... with emotional and creative constipation a mile wide. You’re supporting the needs of others, and the practical needs of yourself, but where was your song? Your dance? This is not the time of monarchies and you have no throne to sit upon, besides your own skin. Practical caretaking may provide a plant life, but going beyond that may sweeten your fruit. Not to mention make life suck less. Who Am I (Jean Valjean? 24601?) - Inverted 7 of Pentacles - There is no shame in waiting until an opportune moment to pluck your reward... there is shame in being so anxious about your reaping that you let it all rot on the vine. The chance of loss increases the longer you fester and sit in your corner panicking rather than acting. Your unease and wariness creeps into all you do and the choices you make. Who Am I Becoming - Inverted 5 of Cups - Time for healing is approaching, if you can admit to needing the healing. Grief ends, bones knit, flesh mends. So too does risk of loss decrease in favorable times. Looking around you, you’ll learn how to utilize support that has been available to you all along. You know, if you try. Or you could not, that’s up to you, human. (I like to imagine that Sassity has the temperament of most cats. “You can pet me. I guess. If you want to. In the manner in which I approve and only that manner.”) (Private readings are always available here or through etsy here

[tarotonhigh]

Day 7: Summer - Inverted Death - Shake off those damn cobwebs. You finished something and you got lost. Dust weighs more than chains sometimes, and you’ve dug yourself into a fine hole. Well, get the hell out of it and revitalize yourself. Ta fucking da, like a phoenix baby. Fall - Inverted Temperance - System’s out of whack, things are all off balance, and your refusal to commit because you’re afraid of fucking it up is gonna screw you over. Drowning in still water is the world’s most painful death, and it occurs all too often. Stretch out into your desires, bring honesty to your table. Winter - Inverted Judgement - If you keep your fear of changes and you continue to delay things, you’re going to hurt for it. We mean it, it’s really gonna smart and it’ll take a while to get out of it. Keep your eyes peeled for opportunities to diffuse tensions, especially on the material resources and family relations level. Cough cough, hint hint.

Additionally, the room mate checked the next card just to see... and Spring would’ve been Inverted 7 of Cups. Sassity was refusing the last step of our agreed upon shuffle pattern, and after 5 attempts I just accepted what it had to give and it was this shit again. Inversions were the top. six. cards.

Man, Technology, amirite?

Three Days worth of Memes underneath this cut. Day 4 - outlook on the week, Day 5 - teachings, day 6 - situation outlook

Day 4 - Week Ahead: First Third - Inverted Lovers - Passion can burn you away just as easy as it can warm you up. It doesn’t affect the flame one bit and it’s not going to go around you. Attacking the problem head on is not always the best solution, especially when your head isn’t screwed on straight. What’s blinding you, and where are you bound? Second Third - Inverted 5 of Wands - Watch the teeth there kitten. You’re coming down off a conflict period, and the grace of your landing depends entirely on you. The fight going down can be avoided, or deftly solved if you think clearly and keep a constant check on yourself. Or it could devolve and explode in your face. Your choices are on you. Final Third - Inverted Tower - It’s your purgatory time. As you float in the ether of the fall out from this week, there’s many things to consider, process, and incorporate. You could feel like things fell all to pieces, but even so there could be enough to rebuild even better with new knowledge. Be alert for Divine kick in the pants and giant “over here, moron” signs floating in front of your face. Or, don’t. That’s cool too. We don’t care. (Much) Day 5: What Can I Teach - World - Composite is the name of the game. Bring together different mentalities, strategies, lifestyles. Your gift (for now) is weaving and interlacing, and finding a point where you can stand back and say “Doneski!” Packs don’t happen, they’re made. A critical component of that is understanding, and that’s your highlight reel this time. Who Needs My Teaching - Inverted 8 of Swords - Well I mean, historically, the one who needs it most is the one who is gonna resist it the most. People resist help most easily when they’re most in need. When it comes to psychological advice, that’s the worst. (And hint: you can teach yourself things) Where to Begin - Page of Wands - Generally speaking, at the beginning. That’s the obvious statement, but it bears saying. Energy is intense, but hard to access when your head is spinning or you don’t know where to start. Taking the time to piece out where you are and where you’re going can really facilitate getting the process kickstarted. Day 6: Situation - Queen of Pentacles - The search for roots, a home, a hearth. The desire to “mother” and care, to give warmth and support. Your desires and weaknesses are centered in this place strongly, and you are keenly aware of what it takes to feed a family. Fiscally and emotionally. What I Can’t Change - Inverted 9 of Wands - Obstacles and set backs. Life’s spice of wonder. Can’t stop ‘em from coming, but keep a tight eye on your reactions to them. Times of restrictions or specific necessity will come and go, and you can’t avoid it. What I Can Change - Inverted 2 of Pentacles - Who is currently juggling the balls is not in your control. Who is juggling them in the future is entirely up to you and the choices you make. There’s all sorts of red tape and paperwork in this world, and filing appropriately can change the power balance dramatically. So, get on that shit.

May I have a reading <3

Oh. Well. I warn you, there’s a reason I call my deck Sassity. Seems you’re tonight’s winner. (Don’t worry, it’s gonna filet me when I stick up my readings for myself from the last three days tonight. Eesh) There’s no returns on freebies. -ducks for cover-Sassity sez:Look, something is rotten in Denmark and you know it, we know it, we all know it. No point in sugarcoating it. Regardless of what context it’s in, there is something in your life right now that has gone foul. Maybe love has been lost and you’re either desperately trying to get it back or trying to force it to revive by spinning insincere sweetness. Maybe you’re in a position to make a buck off someone else’s back. We dunno, but we ARE sure you are aware of it. It’s also been on your mind for a while, and it’s hurting you. You’ve been at an impasse for a while, and it’s time to crack out of it and just… go the way you’re going to go. With some dedication, there is an opportunity to come out of this feeling morally good and some sort of richer for the effort… But it’s in the lower percentages. Watch your feet.(Inverted Ace of Cups, Inverted Two of Swords, Inverted Ace of Pentacles)

[tarotonhigh]

Can I have a reading on my travels; is there anything I need to know? Thanks so much!

Sassity sez:Be wary of treating travels like the solution to your problems. You may get to leave an old scene behind, but you’re taking yourself with you. Family issues, heart ache, career stress, it all goes with. The good news for you is it seems like this is Where You’re Supposed To Be™ and you’ll get a lot of out of this is you keep your mind open for it. Connection issues you’ve been having might make sense once you get your feet on the road again, and if you’ve struggling with the idea of being “stuck”, literally moving around is gonna help. Just, be cautious. Doesn’t. Fix. Everything.

May your foot steps (and travels!) be worth it!(Private readings are always available here or through etsy here)

[tarotonhigh]

If you're still doing free readings. Can I get a reading on where my job search is headed? I have been searching for 2 months and the response are minimal. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks do much! ψ(｀∇´)ψ

Hey Nonny! Good luck with your search. It’s a rough market out there, for sure. -fist bump-

Sassity sez:Things are looking pretty severe to you, huh? It’s tempting to sever off emotions and get cold and rational about things, but it’s important to understand our feelings on matters and how they affect our abilities and perceptions. Ice Queen’ing it up doesn’t help people like you, and right now it’d be a good thing for people to like you. It’s also easy to slip away to another world when we’re detached, to idealize a world where the right moves create the right outcome and we know intuitively what to do. Doooon’t do it. Losing ourselves as we look into the scrying bowl often means we’re closed off to opportunities around us, and there might be a gem hidden in a networking chance around you.(Queen of Swords, Four of Cups, Ace of Cups)

That awkward moment when your last two days of readings went to drafts rather than queued posts, and when you tried to post them, tumblr ate them. Oops. Good thing I wrote down what I drew, but ugh, back log. In the mean time, all 3 for the 6th are still open

[tarotonhigh]

Day 3 - Well aren’t you a wiseguy What experiences do I seek during this Fall - Inverted Six of Pentacles - This is not a story about how your life got turned around, flipped upside down. You probably are up to no good though, and we advise you to watch those rose tinted glasses. Things weren’t perfect they way they “used to be” and emulating the “old days” won’t make these days any better. That said, some awareness and rebalancing of priorities and efforts is in order. Just don’t drop things on your head why you juggle. Why - The Moon - To get out of the knot you’ve tied yourself in. “You’re lost little girl, so tell me, who are you”? Welcome to your life. The pathway looks like an angry toddler scribble and your map is on fire, sending sparks and ash into your eyes. Shifting things around may be the only way you ever see again. Can’t hunt for something if you can’t see what you’re hunting. Can’t hunt for something if you don’t know what it is. What is the easiest way to get it - Inverted Ten of Pentacles - You know how sometimes a used puzzle is missing a few pieces or two? Oh, never anything vital like an edge piece or a major detail shot. Just a few minor bits here and there that just incessantly remind you that you’re missing something. We say you tuned out those reminders, and now you’re trying to play the game like you’re completed. Uh-uh. Don’t do it. You’ll break before you win, if you win. So, easiest way to get your balance back together? Admit to the missing pieces and fill them. (Private readings are always available here or through etsy here)

Day 1 - Dear Sassity... October Lesson - Inverted Page of Swords - Hey, watch your tongue there! It's got a cruel bite, even when you want it to be honey sweet. You could meet with a terrible fate if you keep it up... Oh, you already have? Stop taking it out on other people and deal with it! What do you need from me - Inverted Temperance - Would you clean up your internal godsbedamned mess already? It's gross and we don't like to touch it. Remember that sharp tongue comment? Additionally you're all ramped up and maybe not making the best choices/plans. Best check yourself before you wreck yourself. Outcome - Inverted Seven of Pentacles - All that anxiety you have about whether things will come into their own? Worries about will ventures be a success or a failure? Well it won't go away, but life will be a lot more livable if you keep things in mind, and in check. Go weed the garden every now and then, okay? We'll all breathe easier

You are always just so charming when you decide to triple inversion slam me, Sassity.

Day 2 - Coming around the bend... A major change in my life - Inverted Nine of Cups - There's a reckoning a-comin'... Get ready for a major attitude adjustment, bruh. It's coming and it's going to slap you silly. Take everything you've been doing and turn it upside, while tornado'ing. Emphasizing the past or future will wreck your present, and there's someone keep your pants on for you as you vortex around. Thank them nicely, don't get a fat head. Don't mourn the change too much either - it'll be internally liberating ... once you get there. What's the lesson behind it - High Priestess - Ooooh, feminine mysti- yeah no we can't finish that sentence seriously, but hey don't count out any feminine Teachers you may come into contact with in the process... or already on your back. Hint hint. Use your resources. Getting back into with dreams, moods, and emotions is going to be necessary for forward motion. Seems basic/obvious, needs to be said. Getting your balance and finding a walkway spiritually and working on your self-knowledge is in the spotlight of needs. How to integrate it - The Devil (fuq u sassity) - Duke it out with all those ugly bits you've been ignoring! Remember how to be a little more selfish - can't give from an empty cup and all that. Plus, if you want to have success for you you are going to have to start making choices for you... and be damn charming doing it. The best lies are the truths, dressed in the best suit for the situation they're called upon. With a grin on your face and a wink in your eye...

Sassity, that last card was rude. Rude as balls. Good job you beast though, that was a serious twist to wrap my mind around... and also I love that you utilized one of the cards I closely associate with Trickster in His more asshole moments (that I kind of completely adore) as a “how to do the thing” card. Great troll, A+++

Hi Snowy! Glad to see you back :) If there is still an opening for a free reading I would like to ask for the cards' take on my situation. After years of hard work and emotional failures things have been going great for me on a professional and personal level recently. The problem is I've had to move abroad for a few months and I am not sure that when I come back everything will be the same and that scares the hell out of me. Thank you!

Thank you kind friend! (I consider all return people some level of friend, thank you for liking my work \o/ ) Good luck with all those mega things going on. Sounds like a crazy bag of cats… that don’t like each other. It’s worth mentioning that just in a mundane way, “things” will probably be different, if nothing else than because YOU are different! Sometimes “different” can be good/positive… if not uncomfortable, I know. As a Trickster devotee, trust me, I know.

“Oh dear Sassity… what’s the sitch on nonny’s return look like as of this moment?”Sassity sez:Well, thing is, your fear comes from a desire to not be afraid, really. Sounds backwards, I know, but hear us out. Some part of you knows and understands the complexity of the situation, of people, of yourself. There’s a trillion billion facets to everything, ain’t there? Ain’t that some shit? The trick for you, is not to vibrate out of your skin in the mean time because anxiety is the difference between reality and expectations. A few months means a LOT of opportunities for details to change - big ones, little ones, some that hide as the other - and that leaves you a lot of wiggle room to prepare, to be proactive, reactive, and… yes, ruminate. We chastise you not to take this as a sign of “I must be still and quiet and fearless” - no, fear is healthy - but instead as a “Extremes are bad, find my middle ground in my chaos.” The self exploration is half the fun!(Inverted Nine of Swords, Inverted Four of Cups, Temperance)May your footsteps be worth it!(Private readings are always available here or through etsy here)
