How To Glimpse Your Future Children With Tarot

Hi Diana, as someone who is learning to read trines, squares & oppositions can you tell us what aspects help show the deities present at our birth? I have been drawn to Pluto most, but am wondering about Saturn, Venus & Diana. Most of my signs are in my Sun in 2nd, Capricorn. My moon, in Pisces, fourth house& I have pluto in Scorpio, 12th house. I also have Moon trine Pluto. Is that trine significant? Any help you can give is amazing, your blog is one of the few on Greco-Roman Deities I trust 💜

How a God Becomes Your Parent

Your astrological parent is the divinity who was reigning at the moment of your birth. How can you tell which god that is? I previously explained it to intermediate astrologers. I am now doing the same for beginners.

Step 1: Look at Your Signs

Which Zodiac sign appears the most in your natal chart? If you see Gemini once, Scorpio once, Libra thrice and Pisces six times, it means Neptune (Ruler of Pisces) greatly outranks Mercury (Ruler of Gemini), Pluto (Ruler of Scorpio) and Venus (Ruler of Libra) in your life.

(To see which god rules which sign, click here. Use this too for the next step.)

Step 2: Look at Your Houses

Which of your Houses is the most occupied? If you see just two planets each in your First House and Fourth House, three planets in your Fifth House and four planets in your Twelfth House, it means Neptune (Ruler of the Twelfth House) outranks Mars (Ruler of the First), Diana (Ruler of the Fourth) and Apollo (Ruler of the Fifth).

(For a sample natal chart calculation, click here.)

Step 3: Look at Your Aspects

The first two steps are sufficient to determine your divine parent. In both signs and Houses, Neptune won. He is the god who was present at your birth.

So why look at the aspects? It is one of the factors that will allow you to call yourself Neptunian. Because a god attending your birth only means he will give you presents and keep you safe now and then. (If you approach him, that is.) But if his presence is strong even in your aspects, then you might just be entitled to carrying his name, and that means you will be among the most beloved of all his children.

CONJUNCTION

This is when two gods find themselves in the same room. We do not know if they will get along.

OPPOSITION

This is when two gods, annoyed with each other, are giving one another the cold shoulder.

SQUARE

This is when two gods are having a battle – hitting, kicking, cursing, cutting up each other.

SEXTILE

This is when two gods are drinking wine together, jesting and laughing with each other.

TRINE

This is when two gods have set their differences aside and made a pact to support each other.

If Neptune is squaring Saturn in your natal chart, that is good for you. These two do not get along. The fact that they were fighting at the time of your birth means Neptune was very much himself in that moment. And if Neptune is trining Uranus, even better. These gods like each other. It means at the moment of your birth, your father was having fun with a friend.

If a god’s dominance in your signs and Houses is clearly undisputed, and your aspects reflect his or her rivalries and alliances, it means you can carry their name, and there are many wonderful favors you can surely claim.

Stress Relief

Moon, Mars, Saturn, Ceres, 5th house cusp, or 6th house cusp may apply.

The majority of these things may work for everybody but I’m listing them as most effective for specific signs based on their rulerships & such.

ARIES: physical activity / physical exertion through sports, fitness, or sex; thrill & excitement, adrenaline; creativity; dynamic motion (not necessarily of the body, sometimes even driving in a car suffices); decisive action & choice.

TAURUS: relaxation, luxury, indulgence, physical pleasure, sensory stimulation; creativity, art in general, working with the hands; nature, animals; making or listening to music, singing; physical comfort and affection; sleep.

CANCER: emotional expression (crying, yelling, venting, etc).; nurturing / taking care of others OR being nurtured / taken care of; cuddling, physical affection, cradling / being cradled; sleeping; soft, safe, and comfortable atmospheres.

LEO: no-pressure performance; self-expression in any form (fashion, speech / conversation, creativity & art, etc); praise & encouragement (given or received); self-esteem exercises; positive energizing interpersonal connection.

VIRGO: problem-solving, puzzle-solving, rationalizing, analyzing; cleaning, organizing, doing chores, practicing good hygiene; self-care, nurturing the physical body, making healthy decisions; relaxation, breathing exercises.

LIBRA: expressing their thoughts; beautification (of self or surroundings); partnership, teamwork, receiving or giving advice, harmonious cooperation; diplomatic debates, peaceful social interaction, pleasant conversations.

SCORPIO: intimacy, sex / sexual release, safe emotional bonding; much alone time, privacy, peace & quiet; expressing their emotions somehow, sometimes vicariously; actively debilitating and/or healing the source of their stress.

SAGITTARIUS: getting away from the source of stress in big or little ways (vacation or even just taking a walk); finding meaning in the situation / their feelings, philosophizing; humor, release through laughter, playful banter.

CAPRICORN: dealing with & reducing the source of stress directly; support, encouragement, warmth & attention, being reminded of their worth; concrete rewards; planning, having solid goals & safety nets, priorities; delegating tasks.

AQUARIUS: community, teamwork, widespread cooperation, a large support system, sharing their circumstance with others somehow; knowing their place & value; having an important purpose & a clear vision; understanding, awareness.

PISCES: removing themselves from reality to recharge through dreams, fantasy, art, or substances; creativity, imagination; emotional expression, often through creativity; crystal healing, meditation, chakra readjustment; sleeping.

Moon in Capricorn;

Capricorn is a mountainous and rocky land. In the Zodiac’s planet, it corresponds to the region closest to the sky, set above the clouds and distant from all other realms. When the Moon is in Capricorn, she feels very uncomfortable; she’s able to see Cancer down below, gently embraced by familiar sea waves. From up here, her home seems very small and fragile, and she misses it deeply. But, for now, the Moon’s got to wear Saturn’s crown and reign fiercely from the top of the world.

A Capricorn Moon symbolizes the meeting of two opposing energies, producing the need to find balance in one’s emotional realm. The individual may feel constantly polarized between being sensitive and unbreakable, experiencing intense feelings but not really expressing them as they come. In Capricorn, the Moon’s waters flow swiftly on rocky ground, suddenly dropping into vigorous waterfalls that strike whatever’s on their way below with little to no mercy; the Moon in Capricorn represents a mature and sturdy approach to all obstacles in life (which are generally not few), and so the Capricorn Moon individual has been blessed with the emotional strength to overcome all difficulties they may find in their path with the resilience that other Moons do not have.

As children, these people were taught the value of honour and responsibility, and the maternal figure was probably very quick to teach the child how full of hardships the world can be, passing forward their knowledge on how to overcome calamities and dangerous situations. As an adult, the Capricorn Moon individual may find it very difficult to express their sensitive and fragile form, for they were probably taught, since very young, that they must deal cautiously with everything around them.

Reigning with dominance and authority from Capricorn’s mountains, this Moon loves proving her worth through her ability to work. Thus, those with Moon in Capricorn have an emotional inclination to assert their importance in society and to convey images of competence and skill in whatever they may value, stablishing intimate ties with their objectives and their career. They’re polite, honourable and sincere, with little sympathy for reckless attitudes.

Moreover, in Capricorn, the Moon’s waters are contained at the centre of the mountain. Intense emotions and passionate feelings are restrained and are generally unable to come to the surface. Saturn’s throne teaches the Moon that great things and achievements generally take a lot of effort and a lot of time to manifest, but the Moon also teaches Saturn that success and power are unachievable without the emotional security to actually go out in the world and conquer one’s objectives and dreams. This placement offers the individual both the watery shield and the earthy sword with which they can make their own way onwards to seize their objectives.

Upon a throne carved out of the mountain’s rocky walls, the Moon rules severely. She seems to have aged quite a bit, and she doesn’t look at us so fondly anymore. Her feelings are enclosed in herself, accommodated in Time’s calm embrace. She’s wiser, stronger now.

hi, I was born under saturn and venus and I was wondering how I’d know if I am speaking to them. Thanks :)

How to Know When Your God Has Claimed You

In my family’s experience, it is never just a feeling. It is real and concrete. Neither circumstantial nor fleeting.

APOLLO

The God of Victory will give you a miraculous triumph at the last minute. Whether through a sports match, a final exam in school or a promotion at work… whatever was impossible will take a turn. And at the moment of your win, the Sun will shine on you. If it is raining, it will suddenly stop. If it is a bright day, it will turn gloomy, except right above you.

DIANA

The Goddess of Fertility will bathe you in silver. When you look in the mirror, you will see yourself wearing a silver necklace you cannot feel on your neck. You will hear people compliment a silver bracelet you cannot see yourself wearing. You will see photographs of you wearing a silver dress when in reality the fabric was black or red.

MERCURY

The God of Wit and Trickery will give you a tragedy. Something unexpected and shocking. But almost immediately, you will find that this disaster has led you to something better than you ever imagined. That is him whimsically turning your car around, showing you the right way to your destiny.

VENUS

The Goddess of Beauty will scar you. Something will wound you. An accident will make you bleed. And then the very next day, you will see no trace of it on your skin. It will miraculously heal. That is her letting you know that she can give and she can take away, now that you are hers.

MARS

The God of War will spill blood in your name to christen you. That boy in school who has been bullying you will find himself in a wheelchair. Some villainous adult you have been feeling threatened by could suddenly die. You will come across books and websites about making your dreams come true and being ambitious and true to you.

JUPITER

The God of Abundance will give you a windfall. Your parents could suddenly get promoted, benefitting you directly. A distant aunt you did not know you had could die, leaving you an enormous inheritance. You could win a raffle draw you would not even remember joining. He likes to throw a party for his new children.

SATURN

The God of Harvest will balance the scales for you so you can start again. Anyone who cheated to get ahead of you will suddenly fall. Someone you deem unethical or immoral could lose everything they have. He will not give you an advantage, but he will take away others’ head start so you can compete fairly again.

URANUS

The God of Chaos will give you endless waking visions. You will spend a whole afternoon in a chocolatier only to find out the next day that it never existed. You will have a long conversation with a man only for someone to approach you and say, “Why are you talking to yourself?” He will let you travel through the veil to different times and realities.

NEPTUNE

The God of the Hidden will whisper in your ear. He will tell you secrets about people, places and things. It is a test. If you use this knowledge to hurt the innocent, you will never hear from him again. But if you use it to destroy only the cruel and the deserving, he will keep talking.

PLUTO

The God of the Underworld will physically visit you. You will wake up in the middle of the night to find a tall, hooded figure standing a few feet away. You will feel sleepy. When you wake up again, you will see him sitting on your bed, silently watching you. The next time you open your eyes, you will see his face inches away from yours. He will not be smiling, but it will feel so comforting.

Hiya! I've been seeing a lot of 11:11, 11:33, 11:44 and 11:55 along with a lot of 22:22 and 22:44 ever since this really big turning point in my life. Do you know what that means?

Anytime you see number patterns like these, know that the Universe is winking at you and letting you know that you’re flowing with life. Numbers reflect the planetary influences in our lives.

Numbers, Planets, and their Meanings

In general, odd numbers are active and dissonant while evens are receptive and in balance. 1s are about expression and identity -- the sun. 2s are about connection through expression and are represented by the moon. 3s represent action, change, and reflect the energy of Mars. 4s are about family, home, and self as we materialize the energy of Mars. 5s represent Jupiterian fulfillment and the abundance that wants to come in if we are willing to grow (not always a pleasant process). 6s appear in our life when material joy has been attained. It represents the highest earth-bound joy we can receive and is represented by Venus. 7s represent the first spiritually-aligned numbers. It is the highest point before descent down the Maya pyramid of life to the last 13th step. It is both destructive and creative. 7 is where we meet the results of our karmic deeds, and so it is represented by Saturn. 7 represents the veil between the spiritual and material world and appears when outer and inner worlds are not in alignment. 8s represent our drive towards the creative and material stability of the north node, Rahu, but like the infinity of the 8 itself, it is a process that is always in motion looking for equilibrium. 9s represent the south node, Ketu, in their inner-harmony and spiritual consciousness and represents completion. These are the forces of the planets making themselves known on Earth.

In addition, the planets rule numbers, so numbers are always in relationship to one another. The sun and moon (1 & 2) rule themselves, but Mars (3) rules the number 9. So those with life path 9, or strong affinity with the ideals of 9, are ruled by Mars as well. Mercury (4) rules the Jupiterian growth of the number 5. Jupiter (5) rules Mars. Venus (6), like the sun and moon, rules itself. Saturn (7) rules the progress of the 8. The north node (8) rules Mercury, the materialization of consciousness. The south node (9) rules the deeds of Saturn. 

It’s a lot, so here’s a table to help you keep it straight:

1 = sun and rules 1 2 = moon and rules 2 3 = Mars and rules 9 4 = Mercury and rules 5 5 = Jupiter and rules 3 6 = Venus and rules 6 7 = Saturn and rules 8 8 = Rahu (NN) and rules 4 9 = Ketu (SN) and rules 7 

Knowing these relationships can help you understand planetary influences in your daily life without knowing exact transits or personal aspects. 

Using modern rulers as well, 7 rules Neptune, 8 rules Uranus, and 9 rules Pluto. 

Khronos & Kronos

(AKA Chronos & Cronus/Saturn) 

Although these two deities are separate beings, they are very similar in most aspects, so I decided to make a post designed for both of them! 

Small devotional acts.

Wake up early - enjoy the dawn.

Schedule your activities.

Buy a new time-keeping device.

Listen to slow or fast paced music.

Wander around stores with no particular goal in mind.

Be ruthless, but wise, in getting what you want. 

Watch the clock as it ticks.

Embrace the moments where you’re stuck with nothing to do.

Go to bed and wake up at a regular time.

Play a game that has a time limit.

Make/buy a sundial. 

Watch timelapse videos.

Take a long bath.

Don’t take shit from abusive/cruel power figures.

Get an hourglass.

Learn the history of time-keeping in different cultures - it may go back further than you think!

Hang out in liminal places, like a train station or waiting area.

Take what you want.

Either have an abundance of time pieces or none in your room, whichever feels best to you!

Go for long drives, where everything starts to feel blurry. 

 Meditate. Find timelessness.

Please don’t eat your children.

PRACTICE LOVING YOURSELF.

Many, many, many other things not said here.

Use this spread to explore your magic of the season, connect with the Otherworld, and develop a sense of focus. Enjoy!

Dearest Diana, I hope you are well. I wanted to ask for a spell today. Specifically, I want to meet someone again. A quick crossing of our paths is all I need. I do not have a taglock. If it’s not too much to ask I would greatly appreciate it if it was not a ‚dream spell‘ as I have never had a single dream (or I simply can’t remember them. If you happen to have some insight/tips about this as well I’d be grateful). Thank you so much for all the knowledge you provide 🌹

Ritual to Call Someone to You

This ritual only works if you have met the person previously. If sending them a text or giving them a call is something you can do easily, it will fail. It will only stir if your subconscious knows that this is the only solution available.

STEP 1: Summon their subconscious.

On a night when the moon is a waxing crescent, be alone where the floor is stone or wooden. Think of the person’s face as you light a white taper candle. Place it in front of you. Use the wax to make it stand up on the floor. Do not use a candlestick. That will block the light from reaching the person’s vibrations.

STEP 2: Recreate the environment.

Turn off all the other lights except for the candle’s. If natural or artificial light is coming in from a window, block it. Mimic your position when you first or last met this person. If you were standing then, do so again now. If you were sitting or lying down, then position yourself similarly.

STEP 3: Rewrite the interaction.

Take deep breaths to calm your mind. Then close your eyes and imagine your previous meeting. But this time, tweak it. If the person stormed out in anger, then this time around, imagine them calming down and staying with you. If the meeting was somehow cut short, this time, make it last for as long as you want.

STEP 4: Request their presence.

With your consciousness still in the imagined environment, tell the other person why you wish to meet again. No matter how shameful or embarrassing the reason may be, you need to be clear and honest. Telepathy rarely works when your thoughts are deceptive.

STEP 5: Send them on their way.

Imagine them leaving. If in your mind, you are in a bus station, see the bus arriving, and them getting on it. if you are in a bedroom, see them walking towards the door and closing it behind them. Whatever you do, do not leave the session without closure. You would be trapping their subconscious.

STEP 6: Wait for them to respond.

Open your eyes and blow out the candle. Do not use a snuffer. Your breath should extinguish the light, as a way to say goodbye. Then get on with your life. The person will reach out to you once they have had the time to digest the emotion-powered messages you sent their subconscious.
