So helpful for us tarot neophytes! I’ve really come to love numerology

🌟Tips for interpreting Tarot🌟

1. The most important clues may be in the background!

In the Rider Waite Smith deck, many cards show a figure with a number of significant items behind his or her back. What happens behind one’s back is, for oneself, something unseen, shadowy, something to which one has no conscious access. This could point to the idea that the figure in the foreground is unaware of the nature or scope of their issues. You can’t grasp what you cannot see, and that can reveal a lot about the nature of the card’s meaning.

2. The color of the sky reveals a lot!

Again referencing the Rider Waite Smith deck, the color of the sky on a given card often leads to a simple but important clue for its interpretation.

3. Pay close attention to proportions!

In the image of the Four of Wands, the figures are depicted much smaller than is the case in other images; they fall short. Or perhaps they are of normal height and are painted so small in order to emphasize the comparatively huge size of the wands. This sort of thing can be found in many other cards.

4. Court cards represent developed personalities or facets of oneself!

The Queen: impulsive, an initiator, an investigator (water type)

The King: thorough, intensive, consolidating (fire type)

The Knight: magnifying, expanding, a drawer of consequences (air type)

The Page: makes something tangible out of or with the element in question (earth type)

4. Pay attention to numbers!

Numerology can play a big role in your interpretations of the cards, especially in the Minor Arcana:

Ones (Aces): Something new with vast potential is indicated when you have many aces in your readings. They are pure energy without form - and it depends on you to shape it and bring the opportunities that they represent into fruition. Because they are raw, they are also unstable, and can very quickly overwhelm if not taking care.

Twos: Coming together in pairs is the theme of the twos, and all the complexities that this union represents. We leave the individuality of the ones, and the twos are a taste of union.

Threes: Group dynamics rule the threes in the tarot, and they depict different outcomes that can occur when a group comes together - whether they are groups of individuals, or groups of ideas. Because it is also symbolically thought of as completion (the first polygon, the holy trinity, etc) it also indicates an initial completion of a first phase of some sort.

Fours: The fours usually indicate that some foundation has been created and is ready to grow and evolve. To grow and evolve is the key here, because though the foundation is created, there is some disappointment indicated sometimes because things may not have progressed entirely as hoped for - thus, the fours are also the universe’s way of pushing us to grow and move forward.

Fives: Change, fluctuations and conflict are represented by the fives. After the fours, the fives are amplifications of that same energy. When that energy explodes, the fives ask us to look within ourselves for a deeper reason of why to progress. To move forward and beyond these instabilities, we have to push forward.

Sixes: While the fives represent conflict, the sixes represent the movement away from that conflict into a solution, whether they are internal or external, whether that means reconciliation or letting go. They are the cards of overcoming suffering, light after the dark.

Sevens: When seeing many sevens in a reading it usually indicates that it is a time to step back and introspect. The sevens ask us to assess, and reevaluate whether the path that you are taking is what is best for you. Sometimes this is a lonely pursuit, but this period is needed to go forward with your authentic desires.

Eights: A completion of a second phase is indicated with the eights, and usually corresponds to some sort of achievement, whether in the worldly sense, or in an emotional sense. Growth either way is indicated here, and sometimes it can take place in a form where we least expected it.

Nines: Nearing completion is indicated by the nines, and this can take the form of entering a plateau of some sort. What looks like the finish line, may actually be just a transitory stage. While the feeling of completion is here, it is usually just a pause before the final part of the cycle comes.

Tens: In the tens, we see the actual completion of the cycle, that something has come to a full circle - it indicates that from this point forward, we can move towards a new beginning. ✨🔮✨ Sources: Biddytarot, The Ultimate Guide to the Rider Waite Tarot by Johannes Fiebig and Evelin Burger, Understanding Tarot by Liz Dean

A Story about Cancer Full Moon

This happened to me the last Cancer Full moon of 2020, I believe it was in December or January.

I read and researched a lot about this moon, so I knew it would hit me hard with the mother feelings. I lost my mother when I was 3 years old, so my grandma took care of me all my life, my dad is a nice guy, but he was just not ready to handle both my mother dying and taking care of me as well. And then when I was 22 my grandmother die. So, obviously, I have some abandonment and trust issues to work over.

With the help of Hecate, beloved Dark Mother, I was really able to make a breakthrough those abandonment issues, that very Cancer moon. Ever since my grandma died, I have felt her occasionally, sometimes in my dreams or others in my waking life. But never my mother. Probably because I was too young and I don’t remember her, but I just never have. That full moon, while meditating, the candles I had lit started visibly changing flame size and I very clearly felt my grandmother with me. She led my mother to me that night and I felt her embrace me, tightly as if she had been with me in the room. I wept tears I never knew I still had in me for my mother, and for myself, the mother I never got a chance to meet. I will always wonder, how would my life be different if only my mother had lived? That night I dreamt about my grandmother and my mother. We simply spent time together, just talking. My mother beamed at me. She was so proud of the person I have become, even without her, that I am so strong, so much like her. I feel thankful, Hecate Enodia, for guiding me towards remembering my mother and my grandmother are always with me. They are here with me, they do protect me, I need only close my eyes to feel their embrace around me once more.

I still have longs ways to go, in terms of healing myself and being my best person, but that day will stay with me until the day I die. The day I can rejoin my mother and grandmother, wherever they may be.

Why are piercings still considered unprofessional in the 21st century?

I am probably going to start working at a place where there are no “visible piercings” allowed because its seen as “unprofessional” (I have two helix piercings in my ear). I might take them out but pierce my nipples instead 😈. I think it will make me feel better jejeje

Society can be so stupid sometimes. How does the way I look affect at all my performance at work exactly? I don’t magically change with the presence of absence of a piece of metal in my ear, why do people act like its such a BFD?

How I manifested COVID by accident (ish?)

For all of you people who are still in doubt about whether manifestation is real or not.

Me and my partner moved to Colombia since December, we have both been actively looking for jobs since (my partner has already found one and I almost have one on the hook) but because of money we moved in very temporarily with my father-in-law and his wife. His wife HATED me. Like, not exaggerating, you must be crazy kind of hate. No, like real dislike. Like, if me or my partner went down to the kitchen to have breakfast she would literally leave the room. Her literal last words to me were “for you to be walking around there like a beggar, you are too arrogant, but life will teach you”. Clearly, I don’t have any warm feelings towards this person, either. But enough about this fluffy bunny of a woman.

We stayed with them only two months, we moved out on the 31st of March, she was supposed to leave to another country on April 3, so the day before she went to get tested for COVID and she came back positive (she’s had a very mild case, almost no symptoms) ! My father-in-law (who has been nothing but nice towards me) got tested at the same time as her and came back negative, he got tested again a couple of days later and tested negative. Even though they share a bed and were in constant contact with each other, he still tested negative.

The entire time I was in their house I kept thinking that this exact scenario was going to happen, I just knew it with 100% certainty. Now, what do you think happened? I believed in it so much I gave her COVID? Or I was able to intuit it was going to happen?

I guess I will never really know, but I have learned two things. Karma is an almost instantaneous witch and be careful what you think, because it might just come true.
