Me Vio Como Se Mira Al Través De Un Cristal

I just can't think of anyone who reads as beautifully [and accurately] as you. I'm just so amazed cause after I binged your older pick a card readings, there were 4 readings that always had the same 2 cards, but you read them differently each time! And you explained the meanings so beautifully too. I wonder if you're willing to share how you're so original and diverse in how you read the cards? Thank you so much, darling Diana! You are greatly loved and appreciated!

10 Ways to Read a 5-Card Tarot Spread

1) IMPRESSION

What does one glimpse tell you?

No one looks happy in this spread. The man in the Nine of Wands is worried. The heart in the Three of Swords is hurt. The guy in the Seven of Swords is cautious. The royal in the Four of Pentacles is tense. The boy in the Four of Cups is bored. So whatever the question is, the answer is not good.

2) PROGRESSION

Read the cards from left to right.

You are currently grieving (Five of Cups). But with the help of a feminine figure (Queen of Cups), passion will enter your life once more (Ace of Wands), and you will have something to celebrate (Three of Cups). Your broken heart will not be so broken anymore (Three of Swords reversed).

3) ARCANA

Observe which arcana dominates.

Four out of five belong to the Major Arcana. One Major and one Minor combine to create negativity (The Tower + Nine of Swords). But the three other Majors have beautiful energy. Three trumps two. And more importantly, Major trumps Minor. So whatever sadness there is right now will be replaced with “major” joy.

4) SUITS

See which suit is present and which is not.

Wands and Pentacles share prominence with two each. A Cups card is there too. There are no Swords, which represent our thoughts. Thus, this situation has a lot of passion (Wands) and stability (Pentacles), as well as a bit of emotion (Cups). Even better, there is no anxiety and overthinking (Swords) involved.

5) COLORS

Use color psychology.

This spread is dominated by blacks and grays. Even though the Five of Swords says “Keep fighting” and the last two cards are positive (Four of Swords + Three of Pentacles = harmonious relationships), there is a darkness and a dullness that surround this situation.

6) NUMBERS

Use numerology.

You have one zero, two Aces, and two Twos. Zero means a new start. This is reinforced by the Aces, which are equivalent to the number one – a symbol of beginnings. And number two represents partnerships. Therefore, a new partnership with a new person is predicted to come into your life.

7) SYMBOLS

Look at the symbols on the cards.

That is Apollo on his chariot (The Chariot), ruler of the Sun (The Sun), which in turn rules Leo, who is represented by Strength. Leo’s symbol, the lion, even appears in the last two cards – bottom right in the Wheel of Fortune, and on top in the Two of Cups. Obviously, a Leo will play a huge role in your life.

8) ASTROLOGY

Use the cards’ astrological associations.

The Emperor and the Queen of Wands both represent Aries. The Tower is Mars, ruler of Aries. The Hierophant and the King of Pentacles both represent Taurus. Therefore, this spread is speaking of a connection between an Aries and a Taurus, or just one person who is on the cusp of these signs.

9) DIRECTION

See where the cards are facing.

Four out of five are looking towards The Devil. The King of Cups, The World, The Hermit and The Fool are all observing him. So you are being warned against an abusive person or an oppressive situation. Or perhaps you are simply being told that your soulmate is a Capricorn, the sign associated with this card.

10) INTUITION

Listen to what your gut is telling you.

If you asked the cards if someone is in love with you, and you know a guy who always wears a red shirt, like the figures in the Eight of Cups, Justice, The Emperor and the Three of Wands, then it is probably him. Especially if his name is Michael, because that is Archangel Michael depicted in Temperance.

A simple spell to release stress

When we hold on to excess stress, it creates a blockage in our personal energy system. Imagine that your is body filled with tiny, invisible wires that carry energy from one point to the next. When you hold on to stress in a certain area, you tie a knot in the wires that keeps energy from flowing smoothly to the rest of your body. This can manifest as fatigue, lack of motivation, overwhelm, or other mental and physical symptoms. This spell is designed to untie those knots and let the energy flow freely.

This spell is very loosely adapted from the book Light Magic for Dark Times by Lisa Marie Basile, which I highly recommend for anyone looking to bring witchcraft into their self care practice or vice versa.

What you will need:

A piece of white paper

A pen or pencil

A bowl or cup of clean, fresh water (water from the tap is fine!)

(Optional) a few drops of lavender essential oil

Performing the spell:

Set aside some time when you can be alone and won’t be disturbed. If you like, set the mood by lighting candles, burning incense, or playing music. If you chose to include lavender oil, add it to the water now.

On the paper, write a detailed description of the situation that is causing you stress, and of how it makes you feel. Be as specific as possible. What emotions do you feel? Are there physical sensations associated with these emotions? Where in your body do you feel them? (If you are more comfortable drawing than writing, draw a picture that represents your situation and how it makes you feel.)

Keep writing/drawing until you run out of things to say. Get a second piece of paper if you need to. Don’t worry about making it pretty or even legible. What matters is that you get the emotions out and onto the page.

Fold the paper in half, folding it away from yourself; rotate it to the left and fold it again; rotate to the left again and fold one more time for a total of three folds. With each fold, repeat out loud or in your head, “I acknowledge these feelings and I let them go. I release.”

Submerge the folded paper in the bowl of water. Make sure it is completely covered. Watch it soak through, and watch the ink bleed from the paper.

Say, “Spirits of water, keepers of emotion and the subconscious, spirits of healing, help me to cleanse and release. Help me restore my energy.”

Allow the envelope to soak in the water for at least an hour before disposing of it.

APRENDAMOS DEL UNIVERSO -1

Existen leyes y principios “Universales” que afectan nuestra vida a cada momento.

Hay principios invisibles que contribuyen a modelar nuestras vidas.

Es sorprendente que muchas personas crean que todo el “Universo” no es gobernado por leyes, salvo sus propias vidas y su propio éxito o fracaso… entonces hablan de suerte y casualidad.

Pues bien, resulta que somos parte del “Universo”, como del Cosmos, y necesitamos mantener un equilibrio, como lo mantiene el resto de la Naturaleza.

Toma tiempo crecer y sanar, necesitamos el tiempo adecuado para descansar y recuperarnos, si existen leyes que gobiernan nuestra vida, la luna, las estrellas y la hierba que crece en nuestro jardín.

Somos hoy, en este momento, en este mismo instante la causa de lo que ocurre en nuestras vidas y es más aún de cómo hemos transformado esas experiencias de manera única e individual.

Sí, nuestros pensamientos nos hacen ser “causa”, son fuerzas, es manejar energía…

Marco Aurelio, el Emperador Romano decía: “El hombre es aquello en lo que piensa todo el día”, siempre habrá quienes digan: “nada sirve, nada importa, nada cambia, y que la vida es un sufrimiento constante”, en este caso debemos evaluar primero la calidad de vida de este tipo de persona antes de inscribirnos en este club.

El Universo se rige por:

La Ley de desarrollo en ciclos, pues nuestra vida también por analogía.

De modo que siempre habrá tiempos fáciles y difíciles, con la misma inexorabilidad con que una estación sigue a la otra.

Uno de los grandes retos de la vida es enfrentar el invierno, mientras esperas que mejoras las cosas, las cosas siempre han de mejorar “después de la tormenta viene la calma”, siempre es así, el problema es que a veces nos rendimos y regresamos a casa demasiado pronto, hay que tomar en cuenta que la marea siempre baja.

La Ley de Usarlo o perderlo, lo ilustra claramente la Naturaleza cuando un río deja de moverse y se pudre, lo mismo ocurre con nosotros cuando dejamos de movernos física y mentalmente, lo mas recomendable para nuestras vidas es mantenernos “en servicio”; en todo la Creación nos exige que nos involucremos en todas las esferas de la vida, nos brinda el incentivo de la práctica, y al practicar nos superamos.
