Distractions:

I'm so excited for Halloween! I just bought the Santa Muerte Tarot and Haunted House Tarot from your videos!😍🤗 Is there anything traditional you do during Halloween that you're ok with sharing? Thank you and have a great day Lady Diana!👸

Traditional Ritual for the Halloween Period

Whether you call it Halloween, Day of the Dead, or All Hallows’ Eve, the end of October to the start of November is a time dedicated to remembering the departed: the saints, the martyrs, our ancestors and dearly beloved.

On these days, mortals collectively reach out to the other side, thinning the veil, and allowing the dead to come back for a visit.

Whatever it is you plan to cast – a wish spell, a protection spell, or a malicious one – invoke the dead, so they can power it, guaranteeing its effectiveness.

The day before you perform the above, leave a wicker basket of presents by the true north wall of the cemetery nearest your home.

Fill it with food, trinkets, coins. Whatever little luxuries you have in mind. But its most important content should be a sacrifice. An object you would have a difficult time living without. Something you could not easily replace. Its priceless value could be sentimental or monetary. Give anything less, and your call will be unheeded.

Once your basket is ready, fully cover it with fabric cut from one of your blankets —  something to keep the dead warm during their visit.

Before you leave your basket safely hidden in place, recite these seven names:

ABRAXAS, ECKDULON, HEKU, MEGOS, RUHOS, SECOZOMAY, VATHMIEL

They are demons and angels with different tasks, one of which is shepherding the dead, so that by November 3rd, they’ll safely leave our world.

Whatever you do, never come back for the basket. It is no longer yours the moment you leave it. Whoever throws or gives it away without malice will be safe. But anyone who steals from it is bound to be punished. That problem is not yours to deal with.

I really hope you see this message Lady Diana! I know how many asks you get. My super favorite thing that you do in your pick a card tarot readings on Youtube is when you mention quotes from movies and books to explain what a card means! I've found that that method is what sticks with me the most - both as a querient and as a tarot reader myself. It really makes me remember the cards' messages! Is it ok if I kindly ask for a quote for all the major arcanas? Thank you!

Astrology and Elemental Imbalance

Elemental imbalances occur when an individual has a limited element present in their birth chart and most often an excess of another. An unattended imbalance can cause stress of extremes of an element being projected by ones personality (Think of the knights in the Tarot).

Having 10 planets in the natal chart, including the rising sign, we naturally have a high chance of having an elemental imbalance in our birth chart and personality.

An imbalance of elements often looks like a minimum of 2 planets in an element, often seen as only having 2-0 planets missing from being familiar with that elements associations.

Having aspects from planets  that naturally contain the missing elemental energies prominent in the natal chart (example, if you lack air but have many mercury aspects), this can aid the elemental lack, though it will not necessarily bring the elements in ones personality into balance for the planet will still be in an excess sign (example mercury in pisces), and it will still act accordingly to the element it’s placed in.

Fire Signs: Aries/Leo/Sagittarius 

Air Signs: Gemini/Libra/Aquarius

How to balance your elements

When we are unbalanced, we either draw others to use (or us to them) to act as an external reflection of the things we lack within ourselves, however, its possible to engage in other activities that can help bring our elemental lack into appropriate balance that can allow for self-healing and improved wellness.

At times due to elemental imbalances in out chart, we may be drawn to another who has excess of the element we lack (even signs) as to experiences a sense of ‘ying and yang’ by interacting with another. You may find you personally may greatly clash with another, yet you are reluctant to part because they seem to ‘fulfil’ you in a way you can’t explain.

For the element you lack the most in your chart, see the table below to find out ways you can help bring the lacking element in your personality.
