🌹 tarot tips for sexual readings:

⎡QUESTIONS ⎦⇁ so, this is a simple trick but priceless. once you run out of ideas, flip what you asked the deck to the other person/perspective. if you inquired “how are they like in bed”, you now ask “how would they experience me sexually?”. i got the most eye-opening results with this ‘inverted question’ method.

⎡SUITS ⎦⇁ the minor arcana excel in nsfw readings. why? the four suits show you what type of tone is set to a t. swords are serious and thought-out sex with sharp movements, wands signify loud and aggressive romps in multiple places or rounds, cups are romantic, sweet and emotional, while pentacles are slow, trusty, and drawn-out lovemaking that’s domestic. 

⎡ELEMENTS ⎦⇁ don’t forget that the suits come with elements as well, and interpret accordingly. e.g. swords as air show you encounters that leave you breathless, wands as fire show you that both partners will be burning up with sweat, cups as water show you that it’s gonna be all wet and spit/kiss-heavy, while coins as earth are a more grounded experience without any horizontal positions, and that the person has your favorite scent.

⎡TROPES ⎦⇁ the major arcana are perfect to determine what kind of sex life a person wants overall rather than the details. see them as erotic archetypes that get to the core of the person. they show central sensual needs and most importantly, relationship goals. and, by the way: the kind of sexy clothes the person prefers to wear.

⎡REVERSALS ⎦⇁ unless you’re the utmost pro with a decade of tarot practice under your belt, or pretty advanced, make life easier and keep reversals out of sexual readings. for other questions yes, but i find that reversals are tricky with 18+ questions if you’re a beginner. especially when you focus on reading the imagery.

⎡DOM/SUB ⎦⇁ if you’re asking about bdsm VS vanilla: swords and wands are the kinkier suits. cups and coins are way tamer. in the same vein, you can find out what type of sexual role they prefer this way. hard doms come with swords if they are strict. soft doms, usually pentacles. brats show up as wands (exception: the king/queen/knight show a dominant). soft subs = usually cups. 

⎡COURT CARDS⎦⇁ if a royal appears for a person you’re asking about, you know that they are experienced or know their stuff. unless it’s the pages, those show you’re dealing with a novice or shy person (cups and coins the most in that case, swords and wands the least). the knights, 50-50. beside the knight of coins they are or have been the most sexually active at least.

⎡ACES⎦⇁ Most tarot readers interpret them as stages of initiation, like a first date, first time. I think you can add another meaning given their number in the suits (1): They can stand for the singular person getting it on by themselves rather than couple activity. The aces tell you the most about masturbation habits. On top of that, it’s how they want to become ‘one’ with their partner.

⎡HARMONY⎦⇁ if there’s one thing a deck can do, it’s this. the tarot will give you lightning-fast reflections on whether your intimate time would be/is/was harmonious or not, healthy or not. should you however get a card that is ambiguous in meaning, focus on how the image makes you feel like and you know the answer.

⎡SPREADS ⎦⇁ for a mysterious reason, the tarot seems to like 5-card spreads for sexual readings. it seems to be the sacred number right here. maybe it’s how the body has five outermost points, the four limbs and head. so, a star-shaped spread works wonders congruently.

Getting Started: The Seven Laws of Magic

Magic is an inherently mysterious thing but there is a strange logic to its nature. Describing said nature is a difficult thing. How does one describe something that can never truly be known?

The answer for most of history? poorly. Practitioners of the arcane arts are not known for straightforward explanations. I will do my best to explain the basic mechanics:

The Law of Contagion: Once together, always together. The part of the thing is the whole of the thing. By performing magic on a strand of your hair, one can effect your entire body. The more intimate the connection, the more powerful the effect. A cigarette butt you smoked will have almost no effect, but a phial of your blood will be extremely effective. Magic using this law is known as Thaumaturgy.

The Law of Sympathy: Like attracts like. The image is the thing. A drawing or representation of something can gain its properties. A photo or drawing of you will have a similar thaumaturgical connection to you. Combining sympathy and contagion is the basis for poppet magic.

The Law of Correspondence: As Above, So Below. The gods are like us and we are like them. When viewed closely, atoms resemble solar systems. The big effects the small. The idea that there is a sort of harmony between similar patterns no matter their size. This is the basis behind astrological magic.

The Law of Resistance: Some things are more magically conductive than other things. Everything exists on a spectrum of “magical“ to “mundane“ and the less magic something is, the harder it is to effect with magic. The same extends to people who, for whatever the reason, simply have a harder time being interacting with magic. 

The Law of Balance: Magic seeks equilibrium, and therefore, every magical action has a cost. No magical act takes place without some sort of power behind it. Energy will not move unless something is moving it, be it a practitioner or the natural energy of the moon. A body in motion will stay in motion, a body at rest will stay at rest unless acted upon by an outside force.

The Law of Reciprocity: If you don’t know where its pointed, its pointed at you. If it doesn’t have enough energy, it will get get energy from you. The process of getting hit with your own improperly constructed spell is known as Recoil. Safe practice often involves setting up wards to act as a barrier between you and any mistakes.

The Law of Reversal: That which is done by magic can be undone by magic. For every spell there is a counterspell, for every ritual a counterritual. Every ward can be hexed, every curse can be dispelled. This does not mean countermeasure will be easy or efficient.

Moon phases | their meanings in your daily life:

cursed image send by: @plutoswrath

I think all of us heard many times about new and full moons each month. We are always given a theme of what they will bring in our life and that they are very important as to how our day that evolve.

Full and new moons always affect the relevant signs they are formed in more than the others moon signs. For example if we have a new moon in leo, this moon phase will affect leo and aqua moons the most, and then all the other signs.

Im not here only to discuss about the full and new moons but rather the whole Lunar circle the moon goes through each month and also share what is most suitable to do in your daily life through the moon phases

There are 8 moon phases during each month (29 days in average but it is almost a month).

The order of the Lunar circle goes like:

The new moon

The Waxing Crescent moon

The first quarter

The Waxing gibbous moon

The full moon

The Waning gibbous moon

The last quarter

The Waning Crascent moon

You can check what moon phase we are having currently here

Lets get with the moon phases.

I. New moon: 🌑

Keywords: new beginnings, a new fresh start, clear slates, new goals and wishes

During the new moon, make sure to make a plan of what you want to achieve and do this current month. Its the best timing to throw all unwanted thoughts and negative emotions or people that bring you down. Its the beginning of a new lunar circle and the end of an old lunar circle, so lets not forget to learn the lessons of the previous circle even if there were hardships and let downs. You need a mental rebirth and not to erase all the experiences you have gone through. Regain all your strength and clear up that head of yours for whats to come. New moon wants to prove you that despite your wrongdoings in the past, you can start again stronger than ever.

Astrology explanation: The current transit sun is in conjunct with the current moon, showing us that our ego and spirit is in the best time to align with our inner emotions and heart. Communicate with what pleases you, what displeases you but also what you need for this month. Your mind may be filled with more emotions of excitement or need for change. It is the time to do so.

II. The Waxing Crescent Moon: 🌒

Keywords: self confidence, planning, setting your goals in action, motivation

During the Waxing Crescent Moon, work on your self-confidence and the trust you put in yourself. Motivation can be build up once you hype up yourself that you can reach the goals you set this month. Be compassionate and reassure yourself. Right now, is the moment to build a strong base and start working on the goals you set in the new moon. Ignoring this phase may result in catching yourself off guard in situations you will come across later on. Take even the smallest first step towards those goals. During this period you will most likely feel more motivated or energetic, so use that energy to your advantage.

Astrology explanation: The current transit sun is in semi square with the current moon, meaning that this is a period you should rely on yourself and not others. You may find it hard to focus your energy on the goals you set but you know you have that power in you to do so. It needs hard work and dedication and you can make it if you realise where you stand and what you truly want. Its a period to focus on yourself and change your approach in matters if you catch yourself slacking off

III. The first quarter moon: 🌓

Keywords: reflection, small pause, appreciating yourself, recognising your efforts, rearrange stuff if you need to

During the first quarter moon, take a small pause to see where you are, what you achieved from the goals you set and see if there needs to be any rearrangement in the way you have done so far. Its time to reflect. Check if you have pressured yourself with the goals you set. Challenge is amazing but not to the point it exhausts you. If you feel like things are not working out the way you want, try and clear your mind first. A blurry and frustrated mindset wont help you at all. However, remember to praise yourself no matter the amount of things you did since the new moon. It is indeed a self reflection day but no need to judge or step on yourself.

Astrology explanation: The current transit sun is in square with the current moon and that shows that some uplifting problems may arise if you have been ignoring the previous moon phase. If you feel emotions of dissatisfaction, disappointment or pitifullness, then you have been slacking off and have reached a point you are feeling lost. Take a pause to breath, get your shit together and then continue with a new plan that will work out this time. Remember you do this for yourself.

IV. The Waxing Gibbous moon: 🌔

Keywords: Mindfulness, reaction, action, clear mindset, carefulness, take control

During the Waxing Gibbous moon, try to wake up from your small previous pause and make sure you have set your new goals if you were unsatisfied or stay loyal to the ones you set since the new moon. You should pay attention to small details around you in this this moon phase. Consider your emotions and listen to your guts. If you feel satisfied with how things are going, then you surely do something the right way. If you feel more in a bad mood or in the void, then sth is going slightly wrong with the way you handle or work towards your goals. You may also feel things are getting more intense since the full moon is right after this moon phase. Thats why the need to do things right is very strong at the back of your head.

Astrology explanation. The current sun is in sesquiquadrate with the current moon and that means that even if you feel a bit disappointed in yourself, you should take the action to stand up on your feet. Take control, dont lose yourself right before the full moon. You have come very far.

V. The full moon: 🌕

Keywords: manifestation, divination, inner growth and work, intense emotions

During the full moon, there is a very high tension in energies. You will be in some sort of conflict, trying to understand if you should side with what your mind or heart says. As a result you may struggle to come in terms with how you feel, either if its good or bad. Full moon is a day (okay night but whatever) where you will be more critical of yourself. The effort and hard work you put these two last weeks will be revealed. We are at thw climax of this Lunar circle so if you worked hard, you will be rewarded. If you didnt work hard and decided to push aside this lunar circle, you may be much more sensitive and judgemental than usual.

Astrology explanation: The current transit sun is in opposition with the surrent moon so we know everything will be so hypersensitive. There is a split between your spirit and your feelings. Try to keep them together even though i know its so hard to do so. Dont let the full moon doubt all your skills. You may take things much more at heart than other times. Be careful also not to be critical with others cause other people will also be more sensitive this moon phase and your words could hurt them.

VI. The Waning Gibbous Moon: 🌖

Keywords: Review, Evaluate, take notes, reflect, meditate, be generous

During the waning gibbous moon, if you feel like you have been rewarded for what you have done these weeks that passed, you will get the responsibility to pass down this enthousiasm you feel to others. Make sure not to over do it because this is a period you should calculate and tale notes in what you have done. For my babies that feel down or empty after ths full moon, take this opportunity to evaluate what has happened and what was the reason it went wrong. Meditate and try to tame down the disappointment. Realise that its never too late to start all over again even from this point. The disappointment you feel right now is because you expected more from yourself and knew you could have achieved those goals. SO DONT GIVE UP! Set new and easier goals; goals that you will surely do so the confidence and belief in yourself will appear again. You just need a small push to stand up right now. Surround yourself with the right people but make sure to focus on yourself.

Astrology explanation: the current transit sun is in sesquiquadrate with the current moon so that means that this is a period you should focus on you and only you. Sesquiquadrate focus on the change a person goes through after a disappointment or a failure so right now, may be a period like that for some of you that you have "failed". Sesquiquadrate wants to show you a way out, and thats through focusing on yourself and your wrongdoings.

VII. The last quarter: 🌗

Keywords: Release, Cleanse, let go, move on, stand up, FORGIVE.

During the last quarter moon, reconsider what went wrong with a more clear mindset. It is time to let go of the cause that brought so much negativity or laziness to achieve but for this to happen, you need to find the root of the problem to truly let go. This negativity im talking about could refer to some insecurities and fears you have of challenging yourself but also some beliefs that limit you. Due to them, you were unable to manifest what you wanted. Whatever is holding you back, should be left behind. Forgive yourself and become stronger by accepting where you did wrong. Some of you may hold some anger, grudges or regrets. This is the perfect timing to let go of this type of emotions. Forgiveness is the key. To my babies that felt satisfied with this full moon, remember how and why you accomplished what you just did. It wasnt an easy period for you as well. Let yourself relax and release all stress and anxiety you felt in this Lunar circle. You deserve it most than anyone.

Astrology explanation: Current transit sun is in square with the current moon so this is a challenging period for you. Many things come in question but the point is to learn to overcome every hardship and pain we have experienced. Square puts you in this position of conflict and doubting so you will mature further and grow internally. Take the lessons it needs to give you and dont stay on your ego and how your feelings were hurt.

VIII. The Waning Crescent Moon: 🌘

Keywords: Kindness, Compassion, accept the failure and the success, give it a go next time, try again

During the Waning Crescent moon, i swear if you didnt reach the goals you set from the new moon but is still harsh on yourself, I WILL BITE YOU. Accept what has happened and dont give up. Let yourself regain all the energy that you have wasted. Dont beat yourself up cause we really cant give our best all the time. Learn from your mistakes,pick yourself up proudly and get ready to set new goals you truly want to achieve in the next Lunar circle. If you are from the ones that feel they achieved most of the goals they set this month, CONGRATULATIONS BABY. Make sure to also regain your energy cause a new circle is coming and you will need it. You can give yourself a break but if you want to set new goals, meditate right now and then give it your all just like you did this Lunar circle.

Astrology explanation: The current transit sun is in semi square with the current moon which means that you should prepare yourself what is about to come. Semi square, square and sesquiquadrate have a very similar energy as i have mentioned in another post of mine, so coming to a close, semi square wants to reassure that things are coming to an end with the wounds getting healed and ready for the next Lunar circle.

How and when to cleanse your tarot deck

It's very important, especially if you sell readings, to keep your deck nice and clean. Working with energy means that a part of it can always remain in the deck and come back later to affect your readings. Your deck deserves love and care 💖

🧚‍♀️ When 🧚‍♀️

After readings. I recommend this one for bigger readings or those that drained you out of energy. If you sell readings or do them for strangers, I would say after every reading.

If cards from the previous reading show up in the current one (more than one). This basically means there is energy left from the other reading and it can interfere with the outcome of the current spread.

When you buy a new deck. Anyone who touched it can leave their energetic imprint on it and even if that is not the case, cleansing the deck helps you start with a fresh energy.

If you are in a bad mood/state. I personally think every reader who practices tarot at least once in a while has a connection with the cards and your energy alone can impact the reading.

The readings are unclear/confusing. This can be the result of many mixed-up energies.

When you haven't used your deck in a while. Old energy that has to go!!

Someone else touches the deck. While this is good if you are reading for the person that did it, you can't let anyone else touch it. As mentioned above, energetic imprint.

🧚‍♀️ Ways/Methods 🧚‍♀️

Knock on the deck three times. I do this before every single reading as it's quite simple.

Shuffle while imagining the energy leaving the deck.

Put a crystal on top of it and leave it for a while. Crystals I recommend : black tourmaline, rose quartz, amethyst, clear quartz, smoky quartz.

Leave it in the moonlight throughout the night. I've seen a lot of people doing it on full moons which makes sense.

Pass it through candle/incence/sage smoke.

Put in the middle of a circle of salt and leave it there for a while.

You can also leave it in the sunlight as well.

Meditate with the intention of cleansing while having physical contact with the deck.

I've also seen people organizing their decks by suits. I personally don't do this but everyone has different ways of doing things so try whatever feels good to you!
