Divination Offering

[open_space]

Some time has passed so here is another divination offering. If you have a question, I'll be happy to use geomancy or the tarot about it. That said, divination is like weather forecasting not a tablet of truth handed down from above, so take the advice I give you through the reading as such. The conditions that divination taps into are also in constant flux, the same as atmospheric pressure and the Moon.

Instructions Please leave a little bit of background about your situation or, if you practice magic, or are up for an experiment do the following. Take note of the time and place where you are and leave it in the comments. Take a moment to put both your mind and and your body into the present moment, feel your weight, your thoughts and your environment, become present. Perform your banishing ritual if you have one, if not, an opening prayer is enough. Before you imagine a door with a sacred sign for you and the time and place of your location inscribed in golden letters. In your imagination, stand up, walk and open the door. You have entered my private divining room, and yes, it has multiple rooms and this one is just for you. In the room there is a table with a red cloth and a deck of cards. Focus on your query or situation and shuffle the cards there. Leave the deck for me to pick up and you can go out the door, close it and return to your body. Close with another banishing or closing prayer or clap once loudly.

Any actions taken from the information of the readings are entirely the responsibility of the querent and do not replace nor pretend to be professional legal, medical or psychological counseling.

Please noteBe sure to ask questions to which you want to know the answer. Also, divination doesn't always tell you about things you already know about, actually, it almost never does! My suggestion is that you question yourself, especially on things that make you think or flinch if any, and consider the points mentioned from a stance of possibility not of confirmation bias or it's diametrical opposite, falsification bias.

If you wish to make a donation for the readings, though it is not required, you can do so through Paypal by clicking the pentacle.

Thanks for hosting another open tarot reading Open Space. I'm slowly making my way through the Dolmen Arch program and did do the SoP banishing and imaginal travel/shuffling prior to posting my question.

Background- My last romantic relationship, which went from 2018-2021, was one hellova ride and coming out of it, I feel older, a bit scarred and more cynical about future prospects. Looking back, I can see areas where I could definitely improve on, and since having more time to myself this January (after cutting off friendship with said ex), I've been focusing on addressing some of those weak spots. This included therapy, the octagon society, grounding more in feeling and practicing communicating more openly and emotionally with friends and family.

With that said, I had set a plan with myself to get out and date again come July/August of this year but I'm feeling a bit anxious as this gets closer. I don't know how much of it is trauma still hiding in my subconcious, worry that I may not find what I'm looking for (an eventual marriage partner) being I'm a mid 30s man or an intuition that I'd be better served postponing dating, working more and looking for additional career opportunities (given your November geomancy reading gave some indication I might lose my current job this year).

Question- If I begin dating this summer, what will my personal experience be like?

Thanks,

Andrew

Hey Andrew,

Thanks for dropping by!

I remember that... please take my best wishes for emotional healing, these things are tough!

Thank you very much for posting some context about your situation, it really does help me in crafting a spread for you, and also for doing the visualization exercise!

Something the Tarot is telling me is that your expectation for partners and a rigidity towards how your emotional healing should be is in the way of finishing the process of healing. However, it seems you've done a good job so far, but please do look for your emotions as you would take care of a child, so to speak. With self-love and patience. My Tarot says you should pursue, with this care and calm in mind, this emotional healing you've been doing with more devotion towards it. You drew The Star for this. Look up a black and white image of this and color it for yourself. Think, what does the symbols in the card tell me about how to heal? See how she is taking water out of pond and watering the land? What does that evoke in you?

For dating this summer, my Tarot suggests it is not a good idea. You drew Death, The Hermit and the Two of Wands reversed. It's a death end and you'll end up loosing your time. Focus instead in healing.

[tamanous2020]

Thanks for your time doing the reading and your feedback. I'll look into getting a coloring version of the Star card for contemplation.

I had to laugh getting that direct of a response from the tarot, Death and Hermit are about the most direct no's I could possibly get! I'll stick to the healing as suggested.

[open_space]

My tarot is very direct... xD I had a chuckle too when I got it!

Feel free to ask follow up questions if you need to.

[open_space]

Also, we can review the "loosing of employment" reading. Remember that the currents divination tap and in constant flux and when you asked there were a lot of layoffs happening. If the currents have changed by now it can be different. I am happy to ask things like: "what should you know about it, what look out for, what actions to prepare for the future, how to prevent it," etc.

[tamanous2020]

A good reminder! I sometimes look at divinations a bit too... concretely/fixed. My company did go through a layoff wave from January-April and seems to have stabilized for the present (and I believe I asked my employment question back in November for what it's worth).

Q- What should I know about my current employment/job for the next 6-12 months?

Thanks!

[open_space]

It really depends on the subject, the question and the diviner. I've had divinations tap into currents that don't change for a lifetime and ones that have changed in a week. If whatever currents that triggered the initial layoff rounds have changed, it is possible that there is further guidance. At the moment, maybe you were at more risk than now, but let me ask the oracle and see. That's why I say divination is like weather forecasting, it's good to keep tabs open, especially for such important questions like that one! Predicating the future is kind of hard, you know :-) Especially when it hasn't materialized!

[open_space]

It still doesn't look very promising and my Tarot suggests you start looking for opportunities just in case, but not too far, say into a different field or something. However, just as my previous reading with Geomancy, my Tarot seems to suggest that if you do get fired, your next opportunity would be better and you would be overall happier. ( I found that quite interesting, out of divinatory curiosity!).

"The combination of fate and luck dwells in you. Take the crease in-between the roads" --I have no idea what that means, but it popped up. Does it mean anything to you?

[tamanous2020]

I appreciate the additional heads up! I'll keep my eyes open for roles that show up on my radar. Further motivation to slim down further to fit into my old interview suits haha

First time hearing that phrase! The thing that comes to mind is a bit more of astronomical bent since I've been reading up on that. My 2 strongest planets, near identical in that respect, are Saturn and Jupiter, which I'd associate with fate and good fortune respectively (and both are in houses that effect career and finances). Halfway between them, I have Venus in Aquarius, whose symbol can resemble a crease, from a certain pov. Perhaps a focus on Venus may be the effective middle ground moving forward.

[open_space]

Yes, and just to clarify I meant it's not necessarily to look into a different field or area, it seems to suggest that just a move would be enough.

Slimming down into your interview suits sounds wise to me!

It might be that and it might be also that you are not too far away from a way out of a hard situation or something like that.

[open_space]

Are you an engineer by any chance?

[tamanous2020]

First time ever getting that haha. I'm a corporate investigator

[open_space]

Gotcha, just asked because there were a lot of tech layoffs and thought that was your area.

[tamanous2020]

You're not wrong! My business is definitely in that tech area/field.

[open_space]

Hey Andrew,

Also, I wanted to ask you since you've dropped by a few times. Which format do you think is more useful for readings? The long, detailed per card description with a picture of the reading or this more concise version where I just post my interpretation of the cards?

[tamanous2020]

The concise version seems perfectly fine by me. I've gotten as much value from this approach vs the longer form , which seems like a lot more effort on your side.

[open_space]

Thank you! I will keep the shorter version then, it's much less work and personally, I think people have found it more useful to give and answer instead of explaining why I am giving the answer. That's my job after all!
