Embrace the power of a new energy. Be reborn within the fire. Keep your eyes set upon the horizon. Believe in limitless possibilities. Know that your time has come. Abandon uncertainty. Go forward with confidence.
Hey, y'all! I hope everyone had a good weekend! So, this is a Pick A Pile reading. I haven't done these types of readings a whole lot but I thought I would try something new. Just choose what pile you feel drawn to. You can even pick more than one pile if you feel called to do so. Then, just scroll down for your pile! Let me know if you all like these types of readings or if you like the readings based on astrological sign better or if you have any suggestions of readings you would like to see from me. Thank you! I hope you enjoy your reading and please feel free to leave some feedback of what you thought of your pile and if it resonated with you!
Love,

Welcome, Pile 1! You all chose the pile with what I believe is the Agate. You may have been drawn to this pile because you need to release some blockages in your life. The Agate is a very grounding stone and it helps balance your energy while connecting you to the Earth's energy. It has a very gentle, soothing nature. So, maybe you are in need of some gentle guidance and that is why you picked this pile!
Let's start with the Fool Reversed. This card can be seen in two ways. You may be holding yourself back by being too cautious or you may not be focusing on the right things and you are heading down a path that is not for your highest good. So, now is the time to stop and take a breather. Just take a moment to pause and look around at where you are right now. Is this the path that you truly want to be on and is it the best for you? Is this what will lead to true happiness in the future? The Fool is all about taking chances and choosing the path that feels joyous and happy. Don't allow yourself to be led down a path that does not feel right for you.
The next card I pulled for you is the Queen of Pentacles Reversed. So, right now, I think that you have a very "all work and no play" sort of attitude. You are very focused on working hard and making money. You don't really put your focus into much else. You may feel that by staying focused on your work life will help you feel successful but honestly, I feel like it's a coping mechanism and a way to feel safe and secure. Focusing on your work life keeps your mind busy and keeps it from straying to things that feel a little less safe. You may also be choosing careers that feel safe and secure instead of choosing a career that you really love. So, it's time to really reassess your priorities and remember that the universe will give you both passion and security as long as you don't doubt yourself and your ability to succeed.
Lastly, the 7 of Cups is about choosing what the next move will be. This is a card of choices. So, there is a very important choice coming to you within the next couple of weeks. I'm really getting career vibes from this pile but it could be something else as well. I just feel like some of you may be getting a career opportunities or multiple opportunities soon that you will have to choose from. It's important to figure out what choice is best for you. Make sure that you are focusing on what will make you the happiest. You don't want to be stuck with something that does not allow you to grow and evolve. Don't choose something that will make you miserable. Instead, focus on joy and passion when you make this choice.
Well, that concludes your pile! I hope you found this advice to be helpful. Please let me know what you thought of your pile and if this guidance resonated with you. Also, if you have any suggestions for future Pick A Pile readings, let me know!
Love,
Tara
Pile number 2, you all chose the Rhodochrosite crystal! This is a crystal of unconditional love. This crystal connects to the heart chakra. So, you may have a blockage in your heart chakra or you may be having some difficulties with love, self-love, or relationships in your life and that is why you picked this pile.
So, I will start this off by saying that I do see someone new coming into your life. However, I don't think they are someone you expect or someone that is your "type". I just feel like this person is very different from anyone you have been interested in the past and you may feel like you never thought you would be interested in a person like this. I feel like with the Hierophant Reversed and the 4 of Pentacles, you are a kind of traditional and conservative person, especially in terms of relationships. You like to stick to the tried and true types of relationships. You have a very traditional view on relationships and there's nothing wrong with that. However, I do think that the universe and your spirit guides are trying to get you to be open to new things and new ways of thinking. Relationships are supposed to help us grow and evolve into the best possible version of ourselves. By sticking to the same type of person and the same type of relationships, you are never going to get that growth and healing that comes from a truly healthy relationship.
So, just prepare yourself for someone to enter your life that will challenge everything you have ever believed about love! While it may sound kind of scary, I think it's a very good thing. Rest assured that this is someone who is very committed to you and very loyal. However, I think they may challenge you to step forward and take the lead in the relationship sometimes. They will help you be more vocal about your wants and needs instead of just always trying to please others because they are so opinionated and they will challenge you to stand up to them when you want something. In return, you will help them be more compassionate and calm when it comes to helping other people. I'm getting a lot of Aries or Aquarius energy from this person.
Overall, I think this will be a very positive, healthy relationship once it gets going. They may just make you very nervous and unsure at first. So, just give it time and don't dismiss them too quickly because they aren't your usual type. I hope that guidance is helpful! Please let me know if this resonated with you and if you have any suggestions for future Pick A Pile topics.
Love,
Tara
Pile 3, you chose my favorite crystal of all time, Larimar! So, this is a very soothing and calming stone. It is a crystal that soothes anxious minds and calms your soul. It helps you relax and find serenity. So, you may have chosen this pile if you have been worrying a lot lately and feeling very anxious.
The 9 of Swords Reversed does reflect those anxious thoughts. While you do still have anxiety and worries that you are dealing with, I feel that you have made a lot of progress lately in terms of coping. I feel that some of you have started therapy or counseling lately. For others, you may have started to talk to someone close to you like a friend or family member about these worries and that has helped you deal with and release them. Whatever it may be that you have been doing to help cope with these anxious thoughts, know that your spirit guides are right beside you cheering you on. I don't know why but I get the urge to tell you how proud your guides are. You have come such a long way and they have been by your side through it all. They see how strong you have become and you've done it all by yourself. All this progress you have made is because of your own strength and perseverance and that is something you should always take credit for. You are truly stronger than you realize and they don't want you to forget that.
The Devil Reversed suggests that you have let go of a lot of negative forces and toxic ties in your life. You have become aware of what causes negativity and what is causing your anxiety to become worse. With this knowledge, you have allowed yourself to let go of things that are not in your highest good and because of this, you are in a much better place now. While you still have things that you are dealing with and things that you are working on in regard to your mental health, you should take a second to stop and be proud of how far you have come. The Star suggests that it is safe for you to hope and dream. I feel that you are so close to achieving something that you have been hoping for or dreaming of. So, keep fighting and don't lose hope. Be proud of how far you have come and how much work that you have put into coping with your struggles. You are strong and you can handle anything life throws your way.
I really hope that you found this guidance helpful! Let me know if this pile resonated for you and if you have any suggestions for future Pick A Pile readings.
Love,
Tara
For people who chose Pile 4, you chose the Ocean Jasper!
For people who chose Pile 4, you chose the Ocean Jasper! Ocean Jasper is a very supportive crystal. It helps you find peace after a particularly trying period in your life. So, if you have been going through some obstacles and challenges a lot lately, this is most definitely the pile for you and hopefully the following guidance will help you as you move forward.
So, for this pile, I'm getting two different messages - a love message and a career message. We'll start with the love message and then move on to the career message. Feel free to read both or just read the message you feel you need the most right now.
Love: For those who are experiencing a lot of obstacles in the love life right now, you are being urged to not give up on love just yet. I feel like a lot of you are close to giving up. You have been through relationship after relationship and they just haven't worked out. These could have been a series of f*ckboys or it could have been relationships that just didn't work out for whatever reason. Whatever the case may be, I do feel that you have been feeling very down about your love life and wondering if there is someone out there for you. Rest assured that there is!
I feel like you have recently come out of a difficult relationship or connection. Your spirit guides want you to know that this is the last difficult connection you will go through before you meet the person that is meant for you. Know that your person is right around the corner and you just needed one more challenge to teach you something valuable about yourself before you were ready to meet them. So, keep your head up and don't give up yet! They are coming. It's just a little bit longer. I feel that they are coming in quick. They will most likely come into your life when you least expect it or in a way that you don't expect. I just get an element of surprise here, like you won't see them coming. I feel that they are very passionate and outgoing. I definitely think they will be the one to make the first move and they won't be shy about letting you know that they are interested in you.
Career: For those who are starting to lose hope in their career, I do feel that you are right on the verge of an awesome opportunity. This is most likely a shot at your dream job or an opportunity to do something that you didn't expect but will end up absolutely loving. A lot of you have been on a rollercoaster lately when it comes to your career. It's been a lot of ups and downs and you have started to feel a little weary and tired of the drama, disappointment, and the setbacks. Know that all of that is coming to an end. You are coming out of a very challenging period and going into a much smoother, much more positive energy in your career. Your spirit guides want you to stay strong and persevere. You are so close to manifesting your dream opportunity. Keep focused on your passions, your goals, and what makes you feel happy and inspired. That will lead you on your correct path. Don't let the obstacles and the setbacks get you down. You are so close to the finish line, don't give up yet!
I truly hope that you can find some peace in this guidance and that this advice can help you as you move forward. Please let me know if this pile resonated with you and if you have any ideas for future Pick A Pile readings.
Leo New Moon + The Lionās Gate: What Does Your Heart Need from You Right Now?
Good evening, lovelies! Strength here once again.
Blessed New Moon to all. As usual, this lunar phase is all about new beginnings, but paired with the energy of Leo and the lionās gate portal, this is a great time to turn your generosity inwards, and to take the time to set some powerful intentions. My goal with this reading is to help you determine what intentions might best suit you now!
Along with the collective message that follows below, you will also find a Pick-A-Card reading for a more tailored message beneath the 'keep reading' cut. Pick the pile (or crystal) that calls to you! š
Collective Message: Judgement, Wheel of Fortune, Eight of Cups
It comes to no surprise that this is a time for change, release, and review! Some questions to ponder now: How have you succeeded? Where have you failed? What lessons have you learned thus far? Be honest with yourselfāwhere do you want to go next, and how will you get yourself there? Change is inevitable, but your actions will determine what happens next.
Our collective hearts need a moment of reflection so that we can clarify our next powerful step. Set your intentions when you've determined what that step might look like!
Ask yourself: What Does My Heart Need from Me Right Now? Then, choose from Pile 1 (Serpentine), Pile 2 (Sodalite), and Pile 3 (Rhodonite). When you're ready, scroll down for the card reveal and its interpretations!
Group 1 āSerpentine: Queen of Cups (R)
In reverse, this Queen is struggling with emotional boundaries. Itās possible that youāve lost your emotions amongst othersā, so your heart may need you to untangle your own from the group; if this is the case, remember the collective message: step back, reflect, then release the emotions that arenāt your own.
On another hand, this Queen may mean that youāre giving excessively to others. This is still the result of lacking emotional boundaries; youāre encouraged to reexamine your boundaries to determine how you might strengthen them in a way that doesnāt cost you your own wellbeing.
For some reason, Iām also called to the green color of this stone and feel the need to remind you that you are worth more than what you can give others, my loves.
Group 2 ā Sodalite: The Star (R)
I frequently pull the Star in reverse when Iām annoying the hell out of my tarot deck, asking too many questions without heeding any of the advice it has given me, lol. Group 2, it is possible you may be doing the same thing, or something like it, such as counting on optimism to get you through obstacles without any actions of your own. Your heart needs you to make a plan that addresses whatever obstacle is before you, be it tangible obstacle or no. Like the collective message, take the time to reflect on whether your current actions are working. Above all, be honest with yourself. No more ignoring the fact that something isnāt quite working.
Group 3 ā Rhodonite: Strength
While meditating on these three piles, I chose this group myself! (Fitting, is it not? It's my alias for a reason, after all.) Our hearts, Group 3, need us to remember that we can handle whatever may be before us right now. Whatever it is, especially if it is ourselves, we can face it with love and compassion, and we will make it out on the other end just fine. Bring out that courageous, wild side of yours for once; it will be the lucky charm youāre searching for. So will both our logic and emotional sides! Find the balance. Youāve got this, and deep down, you know it. š
Keep your eyes fixed upon the horizon. Currently you are not where you want to be, but in time you will possess all that you desire. You will find peace and know luxury. Stay true to the path ahead. Better days are coming.
If you ever get frustrated or impatient while waiting for your desire to fully manifest , remind yourself that the universe is giving you time to prepare your life and your self for this blessing... so focus less on its absence , & more on what tasks need to be done , things you need to let go of to feel 100% prepared!
Reflect : Where do I want to be in my mind / body / soul space when this blessing enters my life?
Good morning, darlings, and happy Strawberry moon! <3
I bought these botanical playing cards a while ago to function as an oracle deck and felt drawn to them for a quick spread this morning. I hope they serve as a reminder to any new readers that you can get creative and start your divination journey anywhere (I personally started with an old, random set of playing cards myself for a tarot deck). Enjoy!
Pincushion: strength, enthusiasm, power
Hydrangea: gratitude, beauty, abundance, peace
Magnolia: longevity, perseverance
Today, take a moment to appreciate your inner strength. You have carried yourself so far, and will continue to do so with inspirable perseverance. Have you expressed gratitude for this fact recently? It might be a good time to do so, especially if you haven't thanked yourself for all you've overcome. It may seem like the fight isn't over yet and the worst is still to come, but remember: every time you thought you wouldn't survive something, you did, and you will survive whatever comes next, too.
New Moon in Gemini - Collective Reading - June 2021
Hello, darlings,
Blessed New Moon! Did yāall see that Solar Eclipse this morning? I missed it sadly, but wow, the pictures I saw were extraordinary. š
Anyyyway. You can read our collective reading below the cut!
Pictured: Four of Pentacles, Three of Swords, The Emperor (R) and Prince of Pentacles (R)
Following our traditional New Moon spread, which you can find here, hereās what the collective needs to hear for the moon cycle ahead.
The Four of Pentacles asks us to consider our current boundaries and resources and determine what is no longer serving us. We may be comfortable and secure at the moment, but change is necessary to develop further and itās time to shake our foundations up! Have no fear, this is no Tower moment, but consider a new walking route, or visiting a new local business. Anything that you find refreshing. š
The Three of Swords is apt, next. Focused around the question, āWhat venture should I begin?ā, this card further encourages giving up something that is no longer serving us. Is there perhaps a way of thinking that is not getting you where you want to be? Is there an unbalanced friendship that needs to be given up? Ask yourself what needs to be sacrificed in order for you to grow from this. It may be painful, but it is necessary, and it will be for the best. <3
Then, what we can look forward to: the Emperor in reverse. Rigid structure, rationality and rules are out, and spontaneity, curiosity, and flexibility are in! On par with the rest of the reading, we have the opportunity to say āyesā to things that weāve always been too scared to try. Within reason, of course, we should expand our horizons, especially if itās rare for us to do so! See where the wind takes you. Personally, Iām excited to go and try a new Hawaiian restaurant this weekend, at my friendās recommendation!
A final (tarot) thought: hiding its face in the background of this reading was the Prince of Pentacles in reverse, a gentle reminder that perfectionism and second guessing gets us nowhere. Take your time to reexamine your current boundaries as they stand and how you may want them to change, but beyond that, take a chance on yourself, friends.
Not pictured, our single Moonology Oracle card states: "Itās time to release negativity ā Full Moon in Scorpio". I donāt know how much clearer this spread can be!
May you all find that little thing that makes you feel alive each day.
