Tarot + Oracle + Lenormand Spreads
Moon in capricorn-
That hit home for me oh my gosh
Moon in Aries: Feels ill equipped for the world. A temperamental, abandoned child. There is often a fight for survival, a fanatic charge by a screaming inner child who has been lacerated and left here. Suffers migraines. Coping mechanisms may not be developed, the individual may constantly lapse into the framework of the abandoned or bruised child during times of stress or heavy emotions.Â
Moon in Taurus: Strongly fears being abandoned, and despite giving an aura of calm, the insides resemble quicksand. Can privately binge, over indulge, and self destruct. Feels easily rundown or catches colds easily. Struggles letting go of anything with their emotional investment. Can be haunted by memories.
Moon in Gemini: Emotions are too confusing and complex to be made sense of. The emotional nature can feel like a personality of its own. Itâs hard because the individual just wants somebody to teach them how to feel and what to do. Inner needs change rapidly. The individual neglects their own emotional needs, often invalidating their authenticityÂ
Moon in Cancer: Fears of being left are consuming. The emotional reactivity, fears, and demands of the inner child express the individualâs deep feelings of inadequacy regarding their own sensitivity. The individual leaves claw marks on anybody who tries to leaveÂ
Moon in Leo: The devouring needs of the inner child charter relationships. The individual is drawn to the comfort of unconditional love, safety, and validation that was denied as a child. Severely wounded by invalidation, they search for a mother figure everywhere they go. Reacts dramatically, but fails at explaining themselves leaving people unsure of how to helpÂ
Moon in Virgo: The temperament is a battlefield and the nervous system is in overdrive. During times of distress, the reflex is to withdraw and martyr themselves. Their agitation can be unpredictable. Emotional distress manifests through physical and digestive changes and lack of wellbeing.Â
Moon in Libra: Emotional needs are disregarded and ignored. Often the individual feels that their own traumas and experiences are less valid than others. The hollowness inside could swallow the universe. Requires a very close relationship with the mother and becomes severely wounded if this is not actualised.Â
Moon in Scorpio: Emotional experiences are intense and lonely. The inner child is screaming, self destructing, and demanding answers for its isolated existence. Pelvic cramps with no organic causation. Early betrayals and traumas run into deep ledges of the psyche and can rule the individualâs whole emotional life and responsiveness as an adult.Â
Moon in Sagittarius: The feeling of being lost can become consuming. This can generate a powerful need to control, or be in control. Feelings of escapism infuse with rage and cause severe reactivity. The individual can struggle managing substance misuse. The moon is sentimental and fixed, the moon wants safety and security and time away to be held and nurtured. Sagittarius desires the opposite. Two conflicting needs collide. There is no safe place.Â
Moon in Capricorn: Afraid to ask, the individual secretly longs for comfort and guidance. There is a frightened child in the body of a full grown adult. The individual is wounded by their lost childhood. The world feels hostile and unwelcoming, cold and unforgiving.Â
Moon in Aquarius: Feelings are intense and unforgiving, the individual feels compelled to distance themselves from emotions to restrict them from becoming ultimately consuming. The condition of human existence is devastating. During severe emotional torment, the Lunar Aquarius can experience complete numbness and the sense of exit from their own bodies.Â
Moon in Pisces: Loneliness is exaggerated here. An emotional compass without any direction, feelings take on a life of their own. All life, love, and suffering is born and dies here. Spiritually insatiable, can devote themselves to any guide, creed, or guru that seems to offer salvation.Â

Dear Lady Diana, thank you for telling us how to invoke our higher self. However, I don't know how to really know when I'm in contact with them when I read tarot. I fear that I'm just convincing myself that I am but in reality it's only the conscious me or else, that I'm unwittingly channeling the message of other entities.
Is there a "universal" way for being sure that you'd be willing to share with us? I'll be forever grateful.
When you have been speaking with your higher self for a long time, you just know. The presence of a pretender would feel like pants that are three sizes too big, or baby shoes being put on by an adult.Â
But if you are not yet used to communing with your higher self, keep reading to know when it is present.
Entities and ghosts can access our minds. That is how they convince us of their charades. They mimic the voice of our dead loved one⌠show us an event from our childhood⌠and speak to us of secrets we never dared tell anyone.
But there is one thing in our mind that even the most powerful undead are incapable of retrieving. Our olfactory memories. Our recollection of odors. The scents that we remember. Because unlike our other senses, what the nose records is simply too personal.
Visual and auditory memories are the easiest to access supernaturally. They are stored like DVDs in our minds. Almost anyone can play them.
Tactile and oral memories are more difficult to grab ahold of. By their nature, they are hidden from outsiders. But since occult beings can see the visuals and hear the sounds that go with them, they can mimic what we once felt or tasted.
And yet, no two people smell something in the exact same way. Our genetic differences or the make of our physical bodies means that when you and I smell the same molecule, I may detect something citrusy while you may detect something floral. Our olfactory memories are hidden from anyone outside of our own existence. Apart from us, only our higher and shadow selves can access them.
So before beginning a ritual involving your higher self, ask it to âshowâ you a scent from your distant or recent past. Voice it out loud, if you wish. Any entity who is listening will not be able to cheat.
If a minute passes without the scent you asked for showing up, invoke your higher self again. At the moment, it is not present.

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.
This is how they show themselves to me⌠how they always have to the women in my family.
⢠The Fates â The Wheel of Fortune
⢠Venus â The Empress
⢠Pluto â Judgement
⢠Mars â The Tower
⢠Uranus â The Fool
⢠Neptune â The Hanged Man
⢠Saturn â The World
⢠Mercury â The Magician
⢠Charon â Death
⢠Jupiter â The Emperor
⢠Apollo â The Chariot
⢠Diana â Strength
⢠Athena â The Star
⢠Asclepius â Temperance
⢠The Graces â Three of Cups
⢠Hephaestus â Eight of Pentacles
⢠Dionysus â 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.
