What It Means To Find Random Hair Everywhere

Hello Diana! I absolutely love all your posts! When talking about tarot you recurrently talked about astrology could you tell us more about it please? Thank you for everything, have a lovely day

Tarot and Astrology

The stars are carved into the cards. A reader’s ability is fragmentary without knowledge of astrology.

Each Major Arcana is a sign or a planet. This is crucial when you are identifying people. Who will you marry? Who will your child be? A Pisces or an Aries?

The Fool is Uranus. They are both eccentric.

The Magician is Mercury. They are both intelligent.

The High Priestess is The Moon. They are both intuitive.

The Empress is Venus. They are the Queen of Queens.

The Emperor is Aries. They are natural leaders.

The Hierophant is Taurus. They embody stability.

The Lovers is Gemini. They represent duality.

The Chariot is Cancer. They carry their home with them.

Strength is Leo. They are the epitome of bravery.

The Hermit is Virgo. They are both analytical.

Wheel of Fortune is Jupiter. They are givers of abundance.

Justice is Libra. They both strive for fairness.

The Hanged Man is Neptune. They both love introspection.

Death is Scorpio. They are the masters of evolution.

Temperance is Sagittarius. Both need balance.

The Devil is Capricorn. Both are tied to the physical.

The Tower is Mars. They are destructive.

The Star is Aquarius. They both have many dreams.

The Moon is Pisces. They are the mystics.

The Sun is The Sun. They represent vitality.

Judgement is Pluto. They are both vindictive.

The World is Saturn. Commanders of the material.

And when predicting the future, the signs’ corresponding Court Cards indicate timing. When will your dream come true? A month from now or two?

Knight of Wands is Mutable Fire Sagittarius. End of November to most of December.

Queen of Wands is Cardinal Fire Aries. End of March to most of April.

King of Wands is Fixed Fire Leo. End of July to most of August.

Knight of Cups is Mutable Water Pisces. End of February to most of March.

Queen of Cups is Cardinal Water Cancer. End of June to most of July.

King of Cups is Fixed Water Scorpio. End of October to most of November.

Knight of Swords is Mutable Air Gemini. End of May to most of June.

Knight of Pentacles is Mutable Earth Virgo. End of August to most of September.

Queen of Pentacles is Cardinal Earth Capricorn. End of December to most of January.

King of Pentacles is Fixed Earth Taurus. End of April to most of May.

Start here. If you can remember these, reading tarot will be a breeze.

Good day Diana 😁 I wonder, if I do the Celtic cross for, say, a job. And the beginning seems good, but the ultimate outcome is bad. Could I simply quit the job? Would the bad outcome still happen? Or just happen sooner? Is it possible to get out of the ending of the Celtic cross or is it sure to happen? Are there indicators?

How to Change the Future that Tarot Predicted

1) Look at the advice card in the spread.

If the ultimate outcome is good, this card will help you ensure that it happens.

If the ultimate outcome is bad, this card will tell you how to avoid it.

2) Look at the card at the bottom of the deck.

If the overall reading is positive, this card will tell you how to make it last.

If the overall reading is negative, this card will tell you how to change things.

Hello there! Hope you're having a wonderful day ❤️ and also wishing you a very happy new year 🥂 I wanted to ask you if you could suggest some questions that we can ask our deck, when we first get it, for self-readings? Thank you!

When I have a new deck, what I do is not an interview but an agreement.

I overhand shuffle the cards face side up, while telling them my name... what I need them to do for me... and what I promise to do for them in return.

After my every statement, I note the card that lands on top. That is my deck's response.

"My name is Diana. You are mine now."

Card on top is Strength, with the lady petting a lion. My deck is submitting to my authority.

"I need you to speak only with the voice of The Fates and of Venus."

Card on top is the Six of Cups, with a boy handing a gift to a girl. My deck is promising to give me what I asked for.

"Though sometimes, Mars and Pluto speak to me too. Do let them through."

Card on top is Death. The card of Scorpio, whose ancient ruler is Mars and whose modern ruler is Pluto. My deck says yes.

"In exchange, I promise to take care of you."

Card on top is the Two of Cups, with a loving couple. My deck would love that very much.

"You will not rot on a shelf. I will always come to you for help."

Card on top is The Fool, with a man ready to begin. My deck likes the sound of that and cannot wait to start.

"I will not use you in crowded places and on dirty surfaces. You will be highly regarded."

Card on top is the Nine of Pentacles, with a privileged woman safe in her lush garden. Yes, my deck would enjoy being protected and pampered.

"But be careful not to let anyone else through."

Card on top is the Seven of Wands, with a man on the defense. My deck will make sure they cannot enter.

"Unless of course I summon someone in particular."

Card on top is the Knight of Wands, with a traveling knight on a horse. Yes, if someone specific has been called, my deck will open itself to that soul.

"So let us do our first reading."

Card on top is The Sun — a happy child with open arms and nothing on. My deck will gladly tell me all I need to know. There are no truths it will not show.

I have stumbled upon this post many times and every time it bothered me that you have to scroll a lot to know the words soooo…. I made this in Word, trying to be less cluttered (sorry for bad quality)

ORIGINAL POST BY @youstrology 💖

Hello Diana! I was wondering if empaths are real. A lot of people are quick to self assign themselves as empaths but I'm not sure if it's true. I know witches are able to read minds at times, but my question is more like... Are they as common as people make them out to be? I would suspect it's a more rare ability... (Thank you for your time!)

Empaths: My Biggest Culture Shock

The global online witch community is dominated by white people from a Wiccan or a New Age background. Most of the time, their concepts are absolutely foreign to a traditional hereditary witch like me. I spoke about this before: twin flames and all. But among all of their terminologies, “empath” was what shocked me the most.

The fact that an empath is a special type of witch

A witch is a mortal touched by magic. Someone who can see beyond what the eye can see. Hear unspoken words, feel unexpressed emotions, taste what isn’t there, sense what hasn’t happened yet. Bend the laws of nature and defy those of gravity.

An empath is a mortal who can experience others’ experiences. Feel someone’s joy or sorrow. Hear someone’s happy or tragic thoughts. Absorb the living’s and the dead’s memories in certain environments. Understand the state of mind of some animals.

So if you are a witch, you should be able to do anything that an empath can. If you cannot, then you have not reached your full potential yet.

I was surprised that empath is being treated as a special subcategory. These skills are magical, but within the realm of witchcraft, they are ordinary.

The fact that people think the weak are the strong ones

Any witch who is going through a spiritual awakening may have a hard time coping. Because one moment, life is normal. The next, it feels like you are in a horror or a psychological thriller.

But the best of us survive without a scratch. And then we learn to accept our new “normal”. We move forward, attuned to our more powerful selves.

And yet I have read countless accounts of those who failed to attune... being hailed as powerful empaths. Those who cry in public for no reason. Those who wake up in the middle of the night shaking. Those who are overwhelmed by the emotions around them.

They are those who failed to adjust to their new reality. They should not be hailed or admired. They should be helped and advised. Their body is not accepting their new identity. Their conscious self is rejecting their higher self’s authority.

If the above upheaval is something you are going through, here are tips on how to survive your spiritual awakening and how to strengthen your magical powers.

The Shop Is Open!

I've been working on this for a long time and I'm so excited to finally announce a soft opening for my readings! I picked up my first set of cards in 2014, and what started as a hobby has become a deep passion and a calling. I'm really excited to share that with y'all in a more official way.

Right now the listings include your standard card readings, plus a few other methods of divination, with more on the way. My favorite offerings, though, include the reading bundles, which combine several different divination methods together around a theme to give a really unique, comprehensive reading in a form you can't find anywhere else! Eventually, once I figure out the details, I want to start selling helpful witchcraft supplies as well. Maybe even zines!!

What's more, the entire shop is 20% off from now until November 14th to celebrate the opening. I would absolutely love for people to come check me out and leave a review. Tell me what kind of things you would like to see added to the shop!

Dear Lady Diana, just 2 days on your blog taught me true pride as a witch. Everyone else on here talks about witchcraft as if it's just a fandom. Thank you for being diffrent. But I apologise in advance because I'm aware my question would sounds stupid to you.😪 Here it is anyway. If My Sun is in Libra, do I count that as 1 point for Lord Apollo (Sun) or 1 point toward Goddess Venus (Libra)? I'm sorry. I usually do plant magic. So lost with astrology.😪 Thank you so much.

HOW A GOD BECOMES YOUR PARENT: SAMPLE NATAL CHART

Click the above link and read carefully before you proceed.

PART 1: Finding Your Dominant Zodiac Sign

In the above chart, anyone will notice that Taurus appears the most. There are four planets in it: the Sun, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn. Who rules Taurus? Venus. So Venus gets 4 points. Plus 1 more, because the Sun is double. Venus gets 5 points.

One will also notice that Aries appears twice. Because there are two planets in it: Mercury and Venus. Who rules Aries? Mars. Mars gets 2 points.

Aquarius too appears twice. The two planets in it are Uranus and Neptune. Who rules Aquarius? Uranus. Uranus gets 2 points.

A third Zodiac sign appears twice. Sagittarius. The two planets in it are the Moon and Pluto. Who rules Sagittarius? Jupiter. Jupiter gets 2 points.

All the 10 planets have been covered. The North Node, Chiron and MC are not planets. They do not matter. They should not be counted.

So what is left? The Ascendant, which is very important. Where is the Ascendant? In Libra. Who rules Libra? Venus. That is 1 more point for Venus. And another, because like the Sun, the Ascendant is double. Venus gets 2 points.

If we combine Venus’ 5 points as Taurus and her 2 points as Libra, then all in all, Venus gets 7 points.

Obviously, 7 is more than 2. So Venus defeats Mars, Uranus and Jupiter in Part 1. The Goddess of Love and Beauty could very well be your divine parent. But we are not done yet.

PART 2: Finding Your Dominant House

Take one look, and you will see that out of the twelve Houses, only five contain planets. So there are only five contenders.

Take another look, and you will see that one of these Houses contains as many as three planets. The 7th House. It has the Sun, Jupiter and Saturn. Who rules the 7th House? Venus in Libra. Venus gets 3 points. Not 4. Because in Part 2, the Sun is no longer counted twice.

What are the other Houses with planets?

The 2nd House. It has the Moon and Pluto. Who rules the 2nd House? Venus in Taurus. Venus gets 2 points.

The 4th House. It has Uranus and Neptune. Who rules the 4th House? The Moon, which is the domain of Diana. Diana gets 2 points.

The 6th House. It has Mercury and Venus. Who rules the 6th House? Mercury in Virgo. Mercury gets 2 points.

The 8th House. It has Mars. Who rules the 8th House? Pluto. Pluto gets 1 point.

All the 10 planets have been covered. Chiron and the North Node are not planets. They do not matter. They should not be counted.

If we combine Venus’ 3 points in the 7th House and her 2 points in the 2nd House, then all in all, Venus gets 5 points.

Obviously, 5 is more than 2 or 1. So Venus defeats Diana, Mercury and Pluto in Part 2.

The Goddess of Love and Beauty dominates your Zodiac signs with 7 points and your Houses with 5 points. Overall, she has 12 points. Venus is therefore your sole divine parent. There is no doubt about it. You can stop reading, if you wish.

PART 3: Figuring Out the What Ifs

What if Venus dominates the Zodiac signs but Pluto dominates the Houses?

Then compare Venus’ and Pluto’s points. If Venus has a total of 10 points, and Pluto has a total of 5, well, 10 is more than 5. Venus is still your sole divine parent.

What if it is a tie?

If Venus has a total of 8 points, and Pluto also has 8, then you have two divine parents. Congrats.

What if it is close, but not a tie?

If Venus has a total of 9 points and Pluto has a total of 7, then you still have two divine parents. Because a difference of 2 is too little. But 3 is too much.

What if another planet ties my second parent? Does that mean I have three divine parents?

No. If Pluto and Saturn are tied in second place, then stop looking at your chart, and start looking within. Your identity... your temperament... your tendencies... your attitude... your behavior... Is it Pluto or Saturn who reflects them? Only you can tell. If you answered Pluto, then along with Venus, he is your divine parent. Saturn would still strongly influence your life, but if you call upon him, do not be surprised if he ignores you. Your connection is not that strong.

What if I have no clear dominant planet? What if three planets are tied to begin with?

If Venus gets a total of 6 points, and so do Pluto and Saturn, you still do not have three divine parents. In fact, you have no divine parent at all. Your chart is what my family calls lukewarm. On the negative side, if you call upon the three, none of them may respond. On the positive side, your emotional and mental state are likely to be balanced. You have the potential to become a well-rounded person.
