Divination Offering
And here is another one. If you have a question, I'll be happy to use geomancy or the tarot about it. That said, keep in mind that 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 your question stated below with a little bit of background about your situation. I would appreciate very much if you replied back to it so that we can both work towards making it useful for you and also for me to refine my divining skills. If you want to know how your week or month or the likes is going to look like or you want to gain insight into a situation, I'll be happy to assist you.
Please note Be 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. 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.
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 offering this service! I'd like to ask about my general challenges with energy levels and how I can overcome those challenges to continue on my chosen spiritual path. As background, I had some health issues in the past and also seem to be very sensitive to seasonal energy flows--I can accomplish a ton in the lighter half of the year but much less in the darker/colder half. Based on divination, my own and from multiple people in this community, I am pursuing an intensive nei gong program that starts with physicality or material plane work. Not a strong suite of mine, but probably why it's a good idea to stretch myself and grow! I'd appreciate insight into why I am struggling to advance in the program and ways to get past those barriers.
Thanks!

Thanks for your question! I will get to it shortly

What exactly is what you find that is making you struggle? Study course, determination, enthusiasm?

perfect, that makes it clear for me. I'll cast a divination and share it with you.

Thanks for your patience. I did a spread based on Strenght with the cards being: 1 - how are you strong - X of Swords Reversed 2 - how are you weak - The Lovers Reversed 3 - when do you need to be strong - Strength 4 - when do you need to be weak - V of Swords 5 - What strengthens you - The World 6 - What weakens you - VII of Wands 7 - Why are you struggling to advance - IV of Wands Reversed 8 - What do you need to advance - V of Wands 9 - What is the outcome of you apply it - Two of Wands
The way I am interpreting the cards is that you have already the insight into looking that you need to do something for your situation and healing. That is good but it seems to me that you might be getting frustrated with the goal itself. To get past those barriers my Tarot is making an emphasis in organization, but not a maddening one but one that tames. Just as the women is taming the lion, she is not closing the lion's mouth shut with force but rather she has tamed the lion with a gentle touch. If it's the case that you are putting too much energy into many things, then my Tarot suggests that the way to solve it is to give each task it's proper time and place to finish it, without creating anxiety or the likes for the others. Say, if you don't have the time to put into you nei gong practice because you have house work to do, then don't become preoccupied with that but rather recognize and accept that's the case and see how much time you can actually put into you practice comfortably. Basically, given the VII and V of wands, it seems to me the energy is there, it is just that it is being wasted as friction. If you are the kind that is too hard on themselves as most of us are, then put yourself attainable goals that you can congratulate yourself for in order to start getting the sense of success.
Does this help?

Glad to hear it! It seems that it is more a matter of friction more than anything else :-) Strength coming in the position of when do you need to be strong was also particularly telling for me.

Moving to Morelia
I'm planning to move to Morelia in Mexico for about a year, starting this summer, late June or early July. And I would like to know what I need to know. So my question is: "What do I need to know about living in Morelia?"
I'm a gringo from the US. I've been to Morelia before for a week. My Spanish is intermediate, B1-B2 for reading and writing, and A2-ish for speaking and listening. Learning Spanish is a big part of the reeason for going. I intend to rent an apartment and work an IT remotely. I'm bringing my dog.
I'm happy to answer, explain, or clarify if you need any more information. I think that I would like a tarot reading, but I defer to your judgment on the matter.
Thanks,
Tim
Re: Moving to Morelia
The cards you drew, are:
You - VII of Swords Reversed What do you need to know about living in Morelia? - Three of Pentacles The outcome of living in Morelia - The Moon Reversed, Page of Swords, IX of Wands The motives for moving to Morelia - IV of Cups What to keep in mind - Two of Swords, The Empress, reversed and the Two of Cups reversed.
My Tarot is suggesting that you look into the motives and reasons for you to move there. May I ask what are they if you have them clear?
Overall it seems to me that you also need to approach the situation with caution, again in the sense of your motives to move there. If you are leaving something behind the Tarot is asking that you face those things. It also seems that you will have to work quite a bit. Is your remote IT job on the light side or on the hard side?
Is there something you don't like or don't want to see or face that is making you want to go there? My Tarot suggest that you keep that into consideration and think it carefully.
Re: Moving to Morelia
I want to go to learn Spanish, because the cost of living is low, to not be in the USA when it goes crazy, and force myself to work on myself in a challenging environment (foreign country where I don't know anyone, introvert, only a middling command of the language, etc.).
In a very real sense I am running away. But the only thing that I am running from is the chaos in the US. All of my other problems are about me and they are coming with me.
Getting in shape, doing LRM exercises every day, and trying new things and being out going are all going to take real effort and dedication on my part. A complete change of venue is a good time to establish new habits.
Thanks,
Tim
Re: Moving to Morelia
Well, you DO know someone in México ;-)
Hmm ok so I over read on the running away from something. It is not internal, it is the crazyness. What crazyness is looming?
Hmm. If it's not something you are running away, except the crazyness then I need to calibrate what the two of swords mean. Perhaps the focus on your LRM practices.

(Anonymous) 2023-05-23 01:27 am (UTC)(link)I am carpenter and for the last few years I have experienced a lot of physical pain in my knees and legs, in part due to my job. I am currently exploring with doctors the possibility that it might be a more serious genetic issue of muscular dystrophy. Regardless of what that diagnosis will be, I am trying to determine if I should continue pursuing a profession dedicated to physical labor, or if I should instead redirect my professional life to be one of the mind.
I am very torn- and I have had dreams and ambitions related to carpentry, that I may continue to strive for, albeit with caveats to accommodate my current physical limitations. (I have wanted to learn Japanese timber framing, and eventually become a trade instructor to others). Alternatively, I have long felt I was not fully making use of my intellectual abilities.
I am moving to a new country this summer with my partner, and if there is a season to pivot and choose a different professional course, it will be once I move.
Thank you in advance for your time and energy with this reading.

Hey there,
Thanks for you patience: My Tarot is suggesting that right now you should focus on healing. The way I am reading the cards is that you might not need to do something entirely different if you allow yourself to heal. What My cards are suggesting also is that you shouldn't push yourself recklessly, perhaps this is talking about your job and that you should spend some time with family, take a vacation or something like that and understand the limitations that your physical condition is telling you.
A need for nourishing yourself was emphasized across the reading several times.
Does this help? Do you need some clarification on any part?

Question. "Will my healing endeavours make a difference?"
Background. I have retired from my mainstream job aged 57 and am receiving a small pension. I am trying using different methods to offer distance healing to friends family and pets. And if successful to the wider community via a website. It is early days yet and I am in the data collection stage. Hence to question.

Re: Divination
Gotcha, so make a difference for the people you are sending healing to and for yourself. I'll cast a divination accordingly.
Re: Divination
Hey there,
Thanks for your patience.
My cards are suggesting that you should not overstrain yourself and or think that you can cure all diseases miraculously. Your distance healing will provide a helping hand, new perspective and well being, in some cases a lot but do not make the mistake that you can make all the difference by yourself, overstraining yourself with too much healing or with other types of extreme behavior. It comes to mind for me to say that you should not approach it like a battle against disease but rather as the bringing of wellbeing to people.
It will make a difference for your clients and for yourself, but subtly and gently.

I'd like to ask you to do a divination with the question of what I need to know or work on regarding my romantic future. A vague timeline would be nice, but only if that's something the cards think I should know!
I'm a single dad to a 5 year old and I'm working on myself to try to attract the right woman for me. Sadly success feels distant most of the time.
Many thanks

Hello Seaspray,
Thanks for stopping by!
It does seem to be that you need to focus on healing and letting go, some bitterness?. I guess perhaps from your past relationship? How did that go if you wish to share?
It seems to me that what is holding you back is that you are closed off. Either you are focusing too much on work or on having some sort of structure or something like that that is not allowing you to be more free. Perhaps it is the pain or the fear. But my Tarot is suggesting to try to go out into the world more a little bit.
For what to do about it, this year it seems to be, well what I am interpreting from the cards, is that you need to face whatever is holding you back and really wanting to get into a relationship and doing the things that would make you attractive for it but being cautious about it. Meaning, you might need to look into what is holding you back clearly. Are these habits of mine helpful for looking into a relationship? And start working on those.
I am happy to answer or clarify things if they aren't also.

My Ex was emotionally and physically abusive. Leaving consisted of me snapping and running away to sleep on a friend's couch with our 2 year old son, it's been 3 years since then and I'm doing well and she's in a different city. While I don't hate her it feels accurate to say that there is some bitterness. I wonder if I'm holding on to bitter feelings for her because I don't want to like her, and I want to counteract the emotional bond that will always occur in an intimate relationship.
You talked about pain and fear potentially holding me back, I was a naive homeschooler at uni when I met my ex. She was my first and so far only girlfriend. I'm certainly a bit scared of being burned again. I've been trying to theorise my way to knowing how to make it work through analysis of the masculine and feminine, though I'm well aware that theory without experience is just so much hot air.
I've rationalised what's holding me back as social awkwardness so I need to study how to be and what strengths to develop and emphasise. But from your reading it sounds like that's exactly what's holding me back, when I just need to get out there and screw up when meeting women so that I can learn to succeed with the right one? Does that sound right?
And "getting out into the world a little bit" makes me think that it doesn't exactly matter where I go, just go new places?
You talk about "doing the things that would make you attractive for it but being cautious about it". As far as I have been able to work out what I think I need to do to be attractive is be confident in my own value and in my manner, while being discerning in what I value in other's (in the sense of not falling for the first woman who gives me her number).
And regarding facing what is holding me back can you tell from the cards if it's that I need to work on certain things more or if it's precisely overthinking and preparing that's holding me back and that I need to just go and "do" instead? ( I suspect the latter )
Thank you very much for your divinatory help in showing me what I need to see.

I'm sorry to hear that: I got the abusive part... she drew the queen of swords, I think reversed and the Queen of Cups.
We can dive into this further in the coming days when I get some time for card reading.
Definitely do some emotional work, something like that ought to leave wounds! Forget masculine and feminine. Write all the things you blame her for doing to you, all the things that it makes you feel guilty about and look at them for what they are and what might've made things happen that way in an unmoralistic sense. No need to forgive as step one just write, bring them forward and look at them. That's step one.
