Empaths: My Biggest Culture Shock

Hi Diana ! I Wonder if there is a way to get to know your psychic ability/power with tarot ? I Always got the king of wands (sometimes the Queen) but the king have been here since i started

How to Use Tarot to Confirm Your Supernatural Gifts

In this, as in many other things, tarot and astrology are linked.

STEP 1: Look at your natal chart.

See if you have any of these supernatural and mystical placements.

For example: If you have Neptune in the Third House, you have the gift of hypnotism. If you have Pluto in the Twelfth, you have the gift of mind reading.

For some, this may be all you need. But if you require further verification, proceed.

STEP 2: View the card associations.

The Major Arcana and the Court Cards are tied to the planetary rulers and their dominions.

For example: The Magician represents Mercury, and the Knight of Pentacles represents Virgo.

You do not need to memorize this. But keep a list handy for the next step.

STEP 3: Perform a tarot reading.

Using the Celtic Cross, invoke whom you will and ask them for a truthful revelation of your gifts.

If you pull two cards that pertain to the same gift, then you can rest assured that you have the potential to master it.

To illustrate: We know from Step 1 that Mercury in Virgo bestows the gift of physical healing. So if you draw both Mercury’s and Virgo’s cards as listed in Step 2, then certainly, you have this ability.

Dear Lady Diana, thanks to you I just confirmed my connection to my divine parent and my dominant element. You can never know how much that means to my spirituality 🙏🙏🙏 But if I may ask, why is the ascendant almost just as important as the Sun? I read and understood your explanation of its impact, and I thank you for that. But what I mean is, the ascendant is not a planet, so what is the reason behind it?

THE FOUR ANGLES IN ASTROLOGY

Think of them as the North, South, East and West points of your natal chart.

The Ascendant is the East, where the Sun rises.

The Descendant is the West, where the Sun sets.

The Midheaven is the North, which is the highest point, where the Sun shines the brightest.

The Nadir is the South, which is the lowest point, where the Sun’s light is hidden.

If you are wondering why the Ascendant appears to be on the left instead of the right, that is only because a natal chart is projected ecliptically, based on the path of the Sun from our point of view on the Earth.

ASCENDANT

Out of the four, this is what matters most. In fact, in your entire natal chart, your Ascendant is second only to your Sun sign in importance.

Your Ascendant or Rising sign is the Zodiac sign that was ascending or rising on the Eastern horizon the moment you were born.

Because the East is where the Sun rises to start the day, this is where your chart begins – at your First House. That is why it is so important. Because the First House is about the self. It helps your Sun sign define who you are as a person. It acts as your Sun sign’s wingman, and sometimes, stunt double. It plays the primary supporting role.

DESCENDANT

Wherever your Ascendant is, your Descendant is right across from it. Your Descendant is the Zodiac sign that was descending on the Western horizon the moment you were born.

Because the West is where the Sun sets, ushering in the darkness, your Descendant is said to be all the things that you are not, but secretly wish to be. That is why it syncs with the Seventh House of Others. But that is not always true. If your Sun sign and your Descendant are the same, then your Descendant is who you are exactly.

This is why the strength of influence matters: If you interpret all the facets of your chart together, they will begin to contradict each other. When the more important parts of your chart go against the minor ones, feel free to ignore the latter.

MIDHEAVEN

This is also called the MC, short for Medium Coeli, literally: “middle of the sky”. Your Midheaven is the Zodiac sign that was, well, in the middle of the sky, when you were born. It was at the noon position, where the Sun is at its highest.

Because it is at the top, your Midheaven is said to be the top or best reputation that you wish to have. Which is also why the Midheaven syncs with the Tenth House of Career and Honor.

As with the Descendant, you may find that your Midheaven does not resonate with you. For example, when you embody your Sun sign strongly, then all that you want to be seen as is the best version of it. So if your Midheaven contradicts your chart’s stronger facets, feel free to ignore it.

NADIR

Wherever your Midheaven is, your Nadir is at the opposite. It is also called the IC, short for Imum Coeli, literally: “bottom of the sky”. Your Nadir is the Zodiac sign that was below the horizon when you were born. It was at the midnight position, where the Sun is invisible.

Because it is at the bottom, where it is hidden, your Nadir is said to be who you truly are when you are alone. The no-pretenses version of yourself. That is why it syncs with the Fourth House of Home. Because you are your truest self when you feel at home.

As with your Descendant and Midheaven, your Nadir may not resonate with you. Because out of the four angles, only the Ascendant is of prime importance. If your Nadir contradicts who you feel you really are, then do not let it change that.

Planets on the Angles

If a planet lands on any of these four, simply read it as you would a House placement. Jupiter on the Nadir is the same as Jupiter in the Fourth House, just as Mars in Ascendant is the same as Mars in the First House.

Add Some Oomph to Your Spells with Magical Timing

Like herbs, oils, and crystals, you don’t need to work with magical timing for your spell to be successful. You can cast a spell at any time, no matter your intention, and get your desired results. However, working with the energy of the sun, moon, and days of the week can add an extra power boost to your magic.

Think of it this way: certain energies are dominant at certain times. Those energies are easier to connect with because they are closer at hand, so to speak, so you can bring them into your life and your spells more easily and in a more powerful way. That doesn’t mean you can’t call on other energies during these times — it just means that you may not connect to them quite so easily.

If you choose to work with magical timing in your spells, there are several yearly, monthly, weekly, and even daily cycles you can align your spells with.

The Cycle of the Sun: Solstices and Equinoxes

These are the turning points that mark the solar year, and are associated with the relationships between day and night, light and dark, summer and winter. Each solstice or equinox marks the end of one season and the beginning for the next. Because they are so rare and so potent, these days are a great time for your “big picture” spells or for spells that need a big power boost.

Winter Solstice. The winter solstice marks the shortest day and longest night of the year, and falls between December 20 and December 23, depending on the year. In some pagan traditions the winter solstice, or Yule, marks the beginning of the new year — you may choose to set intentions for the coming year on this solstice. After the winter solstice, the nights start getting shorter and the days start getting longer — so spells related to healing and bringing things into the light are especially effective at this time of year. The winter solstice marks the end of the “dark half” of the year and beginning of the “light half” of the year; at this point, our focus turns from inward reflection to outward manifestation. You may choose to think of the time between the winter solstice and spring equinox as a “planning phase,” where you examine yourself and your desires, decide what you want to work on in the next year, and make plans for manifesting what you want.

Spring Equinox. An equinox occurs when the day and the night are exactly the same length, representing a perfect balance between light and dark. The spring equinox marks the beginning of spring and occurs between March 19 and March 22. The Christian holiday of Easter and the pagan holiday of Ostara are both related to the energy of this equinox. At this time of year, the natural world is coming back to life as winter begins to fade. Plants are beginning to grow, and baby animals are being born. This is a powerful time of year for fertility magic and any magic related to new beginnings. You may choose to think of the time between the spring equinox and the summer solstice as a “planting phase,” where you “plant the seed” of the things you want to manifest and begin doing the work to make it happen.

Summer Solstice. This solstice marks the longest day and shortest night of the year. It occurs between June 19 and June 23. As I am writing this post, we are coming up on the summer solstice (June 20, 2020). Life, fertility, and growth are at their peak during this time of year, which makes this solstice a perfect time for big manifestation spells. At the same time, this marks the end of the “light half” and beginning of the “dark half” of the year, so after the summer solstice our energy shifts from outward manifestation to inward contemplation. You may choose to think of the time between the summer solstice and fall equinox as the “harvest phase,” where you reap the results of your hard work and manifest your desires in the physical world.

Autumn Equinox. This is the other time of year when the day and night are perfectly balanced. The autumn equinox occurs between September 19 and September 23 and marks the beginning of autumn. This is traditionally the time of year when crops are harvested, and many pagan groups celebrate harvest festivals around this time. Nature is beginning to die or go into hibernation in preparation for the coming winter. This is an especially powerful time of year for shadow work or for magic related to endings and transitions. You may choose to think of the time between the autumn equinox and the winter solstice as the “reflection phase,” when you retreat from the outside world to rest, focus on yourself, and do your inner work and self-healing.

Important Note: This post lists dates for the solstices and equinoxes in the Northern hemisphere. In the Southern hemisphere, the seasons are reversed. If you live in the Southern hemisphere, you would observe the winter solstice in June, the spring equinox in September, the summer solstice in December, and the fall equinox in March.

The Cycle of the Moon: Lunar Phases

If you don’t have time to wait for the appropriate solstice or equinox, you can still connect with the cosmos in your magic. One of the biggest pros of the lunar cycle is that it happens roughly every month — so you never have to wait very long for the next full moon. The moon is also associated with magic and spirituality in several traditions, which makes it an especially powerful astral ally for witches.

New Moon. The new moon is when the moon is completely invisible in the night sky, and is the phase opposite the full moon. The new moon is a powerful time for shadow work (because it deals with things that are hidden) and for magic related to new beginnings.

Waxing Moon. The moon is waxing when it appears to be growing in the night sky; this is the phase between the new moon and full moon. This is a powerful time for any magic that deals with drawing something in, building something up, or strengthening something that already exists.

Full Moon. Many witches believe that the full moon is the most powerful time of month for any kind of magic. This is a good time to cast any spell that needs a serious power boost. The full moon is also an especially powerful time to release what no longer serves you or to work healing magic.

Waning Moon. The moon is waning when it appears to be shrinking in the night sky; this is the phase between the full moon and new moon. This is a powerful time for any magic that deals with sending something away, banishing negative energy, or bringing something to an end.

Dark Moon. The dark moon is the three day period immediately before the new moon. In some traditions, it is believed to be bad luck to cast spells during the dark moon. Other traditions hold that the dark moon is the best point in the lunar cycle for destructive magic, such as curses and hexes. Many modern witches don’t recognize the dark moon as a separate moon phase at all. I personally like to use the dark moon as a time for self reflection, and may focus on shadow work during this time.

Magical Correspondences for the Days of the Week

The days of the week also have their own unique magical energies, and each day is linked to a certain planet and to certain deities.

Sunday. Sunday is, of course, connected to the Sun and solar deities. Sunday is the best day of the week for any manifestation magic that needs an extra boost. Its energy is also associated with healing, personal growth, power, and success.

Monday. Monday is associated with the Moon and lunar deities. Monday is a quiet, introspective day, and can feel very ethereal. It’s the best day for magic related to intuition, nurturing, and shadow work.

Tuesday. Tuesday is associated with Mars and with gods and goddesses of war and action. (It is named for the Norse/Germanic god Tyr/Tiw.) Tuesday is a very “active” day, and is good for magic related to action, activism, victory, or finding courage.

Wednesday. Wednesday is associated with Mercury and with gods and goddesses of wisdom, learning, and communication. (It is named for the Norse/Germanic god Odin/Wodan.) Wednesday is all about mental activity. It’s the best day of the week for magic related to thought, travel, communication (written, spoken, or digital), and learning/study.

Thursday. Thursday is associated with Jupiter and with gods and goddesses of prosperity, wealth, and protection. (It is named after the Norse/Germanic god Thor.) Thursday, like Jupiter in astrology, is all about outward expansion. It’s the best day of the week for magic related to career, prosperity, and wealth.

Friday. Friday is associated with Venus and with gods and goddesses of love, fertility, and sensuality. (It is named after the Norse goddess Freyja, or perhaps the goddess Frigg.) The energy of Friday is fun, lighthearted, and sexy. It’s the best day of the week for magic related to love, beauty, and sex/sexuality.

Saturday. Saturday is associated with Saturn and with time and wisdom. (The day and the planet are both named after the Roman god Saturn.) Saturday is practical and wise, but it does have a little bit of a dark side. It’s the best day of the week for magic related to banishing and protection.

Magical Times of Day

Okay, so you’d like to start working with magical timing, but what about emergency magic and last-minute spells? What if you don’t have time to wait for the next full moon, or even the next Sunday? You can still align your spell with magical timing! There are several moments of power each day, and each has its own magical associations.

Sunrise. Sunrise is, of course, the birth of the new day. This makes it the perfect time for spells related to new beginnings or expanded possibilities.

Noon. This is the peak or high point of the day. This is a powerful time for healing magic.

Sunset. Sunset is the end of the day, and forms a gateway between light and dark. This is a great time for spells related to accepting endings, releasing that which does not serve, and moving on from the past.

Midnight. If noon is the peak of the day, then midnight is the peak of the night. Midnight has a very ethereal, transformational energy. Like with the full moon, some witches believe that any spell will be more powerful if cast at midnight. This is a powerful time for both banishing and attraction magic.

How do you shuffle cards without the riffle shuffle? I try to mix the cards around but I find it doesn’t shuffle well.

How to Shuffle Tarot Cards

The gentle overhand shuffle, mixed with deck cutting, is the traditional and respectful way of handling tarot cards. You will find many tutorials online, usually with playing cards. Here’s one.

Hi dear Diana ♥, I'm reading/studying some of your posts, and while I was reading "Strict Tarot Traditions We Observe in the Family" this point caught my eye: 10) Enchant your decks. “So that anyone who touches them without meaning you well shall suffer a fate too cruel to tell.” How do you do thaat!? I wanna knoooow~ ♥ tons of love for you, dear!

How to Enchant Your Tarot Decks

This spell was originally intended for traveling fortunetellers who often came across thieves and other villainous strangers.

1) Wait for the witching hour on the same day as when you were born.

If you were born a Wednesday, perform this spell on a Wednesday.

The chanting must begin at exactly three o’ clock in the morning. Prepare everything else before then.

2) Place all your tarot decks on a glass, wooden or metal table.

They must “stand at attention”.

Make sure they are enclosed in the container they came with when you first touched them, whether that is their original cardboard box, a wooden box or a velvet pouch.

3) Knock on each tarot deck three times to awaken it.

Do it for all of them, one after the other.

Do it forcefully enough that you hear a thud with every knock you make. It is important that an audible sound is made.

4) Chant this incantation three times to weaponize your decks.

“Asmot. Deo. Vir. Birtir. Ligete in omnibus membris tujs quia te corumpere volo.”

This orison must be memorized beforehand. It cannot be written down to be read. And one cannot stumble upon the words.

It must be pronounced correctly for it to work. Speak it phonetically, saying it exactly as it is spelled. As Spanish is today’s most widespread phonetic language, you may consult a Spanish speaker for guidance.

5) Shuffle every one of your decks to lock in the spell.

Take them out of their container, and shuffle them once before putting them back inside.

Store them together in a drawer or a shelf.

For the next two weeks, perform the spell again. On the coming Wednesday, and on the one after that, always at exactly three o’ clock. Only then will the magic be potent enough.

Anyone with a pinch of malice against you who touches your cards or their container will suffer a bout of illness no medicine can cure.

The Saturn rings symbolise the laws of karma, so obstruction with Saturn is somewhat inevitable. But Saturn also constructs internal conditions and rationalisations that result in external obstructions, and it’s most likely the prime experience we are consciously attempting to circumvent that we create. Certainly, Saturn can be the devil inside, re-enforcing to us why we deserve what we fear the most 

🖤 Saturn in the 1st - There is a consuming need to be loved, accepted, respected, and valued. But the mask can be so tightly sewn and programmed that the light is dim and people don’t have an opportunity to truly see them, the connections can therefore seem vague or unreal, but they don’t expose enough of themselves to make these relationships possible 

🖤 Saturn in the 2nd - The sense of being unworthy and void of value makes it difficult to enjoy what they have worked so hard for. They fear missing out on life to survive, but they can be so focused on surviving they forget to live, indulge, and remind themselves that they are important 

🖤 Saturn in the 3rd - Thought patterns regarding lack of intelligence and reduced sense of mental value can create paralysis in the mind. Fear of fearing an exam can become so consuming that the mind is worn down by the time pen is put to paper. They can see the work on the board and feel reduced, telling themselves over and over that they are too ‘dumb’ to learn it and missing everything the teacher says in the meantime 

🖤 Saturn in the 4th - Fear of change can bind the individual very closely to mental and physical conditions. They can lean dependently on personal routines and practices until they become self-destructive ritual and they are forced with desperation to make the substantial internal reflection and change they shy from. It can reach such a low they may be forced to change residence 

🖤 Saturn in the 5th - The sense of not being special enough to love can blind romantic opportunities when they present themselves, the individual can shut off from the person’s affections despite their need and desires, feeling that soon they will be exposed for what they are. The person may feel unworthy of a child or in desperate need for one, increasing stress on the body and physiology and obstructing its natural processes  

🖤 Saturn in the 6th - Fear of losing employment can create a nervous or vigilant nature at work that draws exactly what they attempt to avoid the most - attention. Intense self-consciousness can cause them to make unusual mistakes before superiors and act of of character, much to their detriment 

🖤 Saturn in the 7th - The image of the perfect, solid, and unproblematic relationship can be so consuming that the individual searches for a conditioned and constructed ‘spark’ or ‘feeling’ when seeking a prospective partner. It can be so tightly regulated that they ignore, deny, or evade the natural, mysterious, and evocative sensations they generate with the people who can provide what they are searching for  

🖤 Saturn in the 8th - Fear of exposure, vulnerability, and submission can occlude the flow into natural intimacy and interpersonal trust with lovers. They individual can fear the process of letting go and allowing instinct to take over, instead they can watch themselves, create pains, and fail to build into that peak of union they deeply long for 

🖤 Saturn in the 9th - There is significant desire to accredit and accomplish the mind, but feelings of intellectual invalidity can cause the individual to doubt their potential and withhold enrolling into higher education due to ‘never feeling ready’. The intense fear of failing and high expectation can create such severe nerves and mental paralysis that university is extended due to illness, underperformance, and reconfiguring the course 

🖤 Saturn in the 10th - Fear of failure or unreadiness blind successful opportunities when they present themselves, and seeming like they are making no progress only exacerbates this complex. Self-lowering beliefs can obstruct them from stepping into the world they desire to conquer 

🖤 Saturn in the 11th - There can be significant self-consciousness with friends, the taunting complex that they are disliked or purposely left out of things. It can make them quiet and withdrawn socially and threatens the substantial connections they crave because friends have a hard time knowing who this person really is 

🖤 Saturn in the 12th - There is a highly tuned instinct and a great inner knowing that the inner waters lead to the right direction. But they can feel unworthy or undeserving of intuition or helpful guidance and put it down to childishness. There can be a need to prime and perfect the intuition to such acute degree that the flow from heaven is substantially obstructed

I've been drawn to a few Greek deities for a while now, how to know the signs that they're trying to reach out? If that makes sense?

The old gods are not subtle. They are proud. They demand to be seen, heard, felt.

• They give you visions while you are awake.

• They whisper to you before you fall asleep.

• They send you unbelievably vivid dreams.

• Their portraits move, showing you if they are pleased or if they disapprove.

• They appear to you while you are divining, through tarot or scrying.

The Greco-Roman Gods in Tarot

This is how they show themselves to me… how they always have to the women in my family.

• The Fates – The Wheel of Fortune

• Venus – The Empress

• Pluto – Judgement

• Mars – The Tower

• Uranus – The Fool

• Neptune – The Hanged Man

• Saturn – The World

• Mercury – The Magician

• Charon – Death

• Jupiter – The Emperor

• Apollo – The Chariot

• Diana – Strength

• Athena – The Star

• Asclepius – Temperance

• The Graces – Three of Cups

• Hephaestus – Eight of Pentacles

• Dionysus – Nine of Cups

Unlike other gods, they do not love you by default. You have to initiate. Only then will they respond. They do not care for quiet devotion. They want bold admiration. And once you are their advocate, an insult to you is an insult to them. So expect decency from others. Or burn them to a cinder.

Hi Diana! What are the children of each god forbidden to do? You talked about Venus and Pluto, but I’m curious about the rest. Thanks!

Traditional Worship of the Old Gods

I hail from an unbroken line of Greco-Roman pagans. Traditional worship is not something we do in our spare time. It is our way of life. In fact, it occupies the whole first third of our family grimoire. That is why I cannot possibly tell you everything. But here is a primer that should be enough for beginners.

Apollo, Lord of Light

Approach him for the first time after you have gained a significant victory in life. Offer it to him. Your medal, your trophy or simply your pride in your triumph. But do not greet him empty-handed, or he will leave you in the middle of your prayer.

He does not tolerate self-pity, so never come to him with yours. As his child, you were born with the potential to become a champion. Honor him by harnessing it, not by doubting its existence.

Offer him a music box… jewelry… honey… anything gold or that makes a beautiful symphony.

Diana, Lady of the Hunt

Approach her for the first time on a full moon at the witching hour. Do not dare come to her with a problem. She hurts anyone who introduces themselves already seeking a favor. She finds it opportunistic and disrespectful.

She demands that you honor your masculinity and femininity. Attain physical strength. Learn how to defend yourself. Wear your hair down. Keep it long. Have thin, light fabrics in your wardrobe.

Offer her weapons. A dagger, a knife, a gun. You want her protection. So arm her.

Mercury, Lord of the Mind

Approach him for the first time with your favorite book. Something thought-provoking you have owned and loved since childhood. Transfer the ownership to him. That is your first offering.

As his child, you were born with the ability to think critically. You may speak to him freely of your emotional pain. But never of anything caused by your idiocy. Avoid such mistakes, or fix them before you speak to him again.

Offer him handwritten quotes from literature. He prefers ancient writings. Write letters to people you cannot reach, and implore him to send them for you through dreams.

Venus, Lady of Love

Approach her for the first time at your most beautiful. Bathe. Wear your most glamorous attire. Paint your face. Do your hair. Wear jewelry. Bring her a freshly picked red rose and place it in a glass dome.

As her child, you cannot disrespect your natural beauty. Wearing colored contacts would be you complaining that she could have made your eyes prettier. Same goes for dyeing and perming your hair. Style it for an occasion, but otherwise wear it the way she gave it. No surgeries for the sake of vanity.

Offer her chocolates… perfume… anything luxurious or beautiful. She will protect your beauty, and give you even more.

Mars, Lord of the Battlefield

Approach him for the first time at a turbulent moment in your life. When you are battling an illness, poverty or villains. Give him a handwritten list of your ambitions.

As his child, you are not allowed to back down from a fight. He gave you the gift of drive and ambition. Apollo’s children are your leading rivals. He expects you to beat them.

Offer him steak or ribs you cooked yourself. They do not have to be beautifully presented. But use the best cuts only, and flavor them richly.

Jupiter, Lord of Abundance

Approach him for the first time after you have received a windfall. Winnings… a bonus… anything material. How ever much it is worth, give him ten percent, never to be spent.

As his child, you were born lucky. Money and happiness should come to you easily. You are to always count your blessings. That will make them multiply. But if you count your woes instead, he will also multiply them.

Offer him souvenirs from your travel. For that is how he wants his children to spend his gifts – on exploration and vacation.

Saturn, Lord of Earth

Approach him for the first time after a day of hard work. Recount to him all you have done in life and all you are still planning to do. He despises flattery but admires dedication.

As his child, your honest efforts will always be rewarded. Laziness will be punished. You are to take great care of your health, your possessions, your property. You must honor the physical and the material, for they are his domain.

Of all the gods, Saturn is the one who watches his children all the time. Your deeds and words, when matching, are counted as your offering.

Uranus, Lord of Chaos

Approach him for the first time after you have had a vivid dream or a waking vision. That lets him know you are indeed his to nurture. Otherwise, he will not accept your invitation.

As his child, you are not allowed to be normal. You are required to disrupt your community and society. Not with devilry, but with inventions, acts or words that are revolutionary. Declare to the world that you are psychic. If you hide his supernatural gifts, he will take them back and forever turn his back.

Offer him tokens. Anything unique, bizarre or strange. As long as it is priceless to you. Never offer him anything of no intellectual, creative or occult value.

Neptune, Lord of Mysticism

Approach him for the first time at your weakest. He loves comforting his children. Offer him your tears, so he knows you really need him. Tell him of your pains, and he will heal them.

As his child, you are not allowed to shy away from his supernatural gifts. He gave you the Sight so you can embrace the otherworldly. If you run away from your visions and premonitions, he will take them away… along with your sanity.

Offer him your own prose and verse. Stories and poems birthed by your imagination. Tell him of your psychic experiences and your desire for mystical intelligence.

Pluto, Lord of Death

Approach him for the first time when you have been wronged by someone you could not possibly avenge yourself from. Beg him for retribution. Come to him shaking with rage. Anything less will be ignored.

As his child, you were born with power. Power to control this world, and the one beneath it. The dark arts are as natural to you as breathing. Fully embrace them. So long as he feels your hunger for the occult, he will help you master it.

Offer him a list of your enemies, old and new. Never forgive and forget. Show him you crave his vengeance and protection. Place a black mirror on his altar. So that when you pray to him, he can see you, and you can see him.

hey I’m procrastinating so find out which gay childhood character you are
