Discovering Your Life Purpose with Tarot

You may have more than just one passion. But which is meant to give your soul ultimate satisfaction?

Step 1: Prepare your deck.

Remove the Major Arcana, the Pages and the Knights. Set them aside.

You should have 48 cards left: the Minor Arcana’s aces through tens, the Queens and the Kings.

Step 2: Ask 12 times.

Shuffle your cards as you ask, “What do the powers that be declare this incarnation’s purpose to be?”

Focus intently, ensuring you do not stumble on the words. In case you do, stop. Take three deep breaths, and begin the count from one again.

Step 3: Read the rogues.

If, while shuffling, certain cards jumped out of the deck, read them now, using the meanings you know.

They are clues from the divine. The positive-leaning cards are what will help you achieve your purpose, and the negative-leaning ones are the obstacles you need to overcome.

Step 4: See the answer.

Turn over your shuffled deck, so that the cards are facing you.

Set aside the first 11 cards you see. The 12th is your answer.

Step 5: Heed your purpose.

The Aces

Your life purpose is not only to accept or love yourself, but to admire and worship it. Your past lives were filled with insecurity and self-loathing. In this incarnation, the powers that be want you to set that right.

The Twos

Your life purpose is not only to experience material abundance, but to revel in it. Your past lives overflowed with nothing but scarcity and lack. In this incarnation, the powers that be want you to experience the opposite of that.

The Threes

Your life purpose is not only to speak your mind but to be admired for it. You had no voice in any of your past lives. In this incarnation, the powers that be want you to sing to the world and know what it is like to be applauded.

Spiritual Colors: Let’s Talk About Auras & Chakras

Aura: The color of energy surrounding a person outside of their body

Chakras: 7 pools of energy relating to 7 vital points within the body, each associated with their own color & associations

In my experience Auras & Chakras are related to each other. As you can see colors normally have similar associations. Depending on how connected you are within your body to a Chakra, the more that color will be represented in your personality outside of the body. Variations will occur from day to day, but you will have a prominent Aura color and a prominent Chakra you are most attune with that does not change.

Aura Interpretation

Color, Shape, Consistency, Clarity

Common Prominent Colors of Auras

Indigo Aura – Calm, clear, artistic, introverted

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.

What a Tarot Reading with Me Looks Like

BEFOREHAND

Days before you visit, I will ask you to think of three questions on different aspects of your life. I will tell you that if you wish, for the first, I can simply give you an overview of your past, present and future.

THE ENVIRONMENT

Upon entering my sacred space, you will find that the lighting is warm and dim. You will hear quiet music around you to calm your mind. You will feel cool air that is refreshing to inhale. And the smell will be sweet. Like flowers in the air.

THE OFFERING

I will ask you to sit in front of me. Instead of tarot cards, you will see three wooden bowls on the round table between us.

The first contains dark chocolates. We will each have one. You, as an offering to your higher self, asking its permission to be deciphered. Me, as an offering to the old gods, who will use my voice to speak with.

The second bowl will have hot towels, one for each of us, to cleanse away any lingering negative energies. So that when we both touch the cards with our hands, tarot connects to our true energy.

The third bowl will have a different set of towels, simply for us to dry our hands with.

I will set them all aside, place a velvet cloth on the table, and a tarot deck in my hands.

THE INVOCATION

Together, we will take four deep breaths. You, as you focus on your question. Me, as I calm my body before the old gods take over.

I will ask you to state your query. Let us say it is about love.

You will see me shuffle the cards as I say, "I call upon the Moirai, Holders of Destiny. Clotho, the Spinner, I summon you. Lachesis, the Allotter, I invoke you. Atropos, the Inevitable, I invite you. Venus, Goddess of Love, Beauty and Harmony — everything we desire in life — I seek you."

I will relay your name and query to them. Let us say it is Jane. "I implore you to allow us a glimpse of Jane's destiny. She would like to know about love. Will she find it? When and with whom? What can she look forward to? Anything she should be wary of? We would be grateful for anything you will allow us to know."

So that the cards can touch the thread of your life, I will ask you to cut the deck in half, twice, and to break it in seven piles. I will put the deck back together and start laying out your cards in a Celtic Cross.

THE READING ITSELF

I will speak the position and name of each card as I lay it. After the spread is complete, you will hear me explain each of the thirteen.

The lights are dim for two reasons. Because the Fates live next to Hades and are not used to harsh lighting... and so that the light is focused only on me and your cards, when I show them to you one by one.

As I explain to you the symbols on each card, presenting them as evidence for every message, you will know that my words are not merely based on assumptions or taken from a scripted template. Because instead of hearing highfalutin words, you are seeing your very life... the people around you... your darkest fears... and your greatest hopes... painted on the cards right in front of your eyes.

I will speak your name repeatedly, helping you grasp that these hidden truths are being revealed to you directly.

After I have explained each card to you, I will close your reading by highlighting the advice, the warning, and above all, the prediction you received.

I will ask you if you have any clarifications. Instead of those, you will have exclamations. You will say something along the lines of, "I thought you would only say generic things. But instead you described my life in detail." You will start laughing or crying. Sometimes both. I will offer you a tissue box so your tears do not wet my cards.

We will move on to your next question, repeating a part of the invocation.

AFTERWARDS

You will ask me when you should come back. I will tell you that you probably should not. That sometimes, a person only needs to have one tarot reading in her life.

But in a few days, weeks or months, when my predictions have come true, you will come back anyway, asking more about your tomorrow and your yesterday.

for those of you that like Omens. found it on pinterest, don't know original source

The Significance of Rings

Rings add weight to the area of life that the finger represents, or could reveal imbalances. A ring placed with intent can enhance areas of your life. This can be strengthened by rings with corresponding crystals. When a ring is worn unconsciously, it more likely refers to the negative trait or imbalance that corresponds with that finger. Left hand: Corresponds to your personal and private life. Connected to family and personal identity or internal issues. Your left hand reflects the energy you take in. Right hand: Relates to your public life. Connected to work and your relation to society. Your right hand reflects the energy you give out. Middle Finger Element: Earth Considered the finger of cultural identity. It reflects how you related to justice, law, order, and responsibility. Can also signify inner security or materialism. Consciously placed ring: Reduce anxiety, improve stability, desire for self-development. Unconsciously placed ring: domestic unhappiness, insecurities, judgmental, lack of security. Crystals: garnet, onyx, agate, topaz, tiger’s eye, jade.

Index Finger Element: Water Considered the finger of personal identity, how you relate to and see yourself. Associated with leadership, ambition, and self-confidence. Consciously placed ring: Boost self-esteem, increase authority, improve confidence. Unconsciously placed ring: Damaged self-esteem, feeling not good enough, feeling better than others, controlling personality. Crystals: tourmaline, lapis lazuli, peridot, opal, emerald. Ring Finger Element: Fire Represents your extra-personal identity and self-expression. It represents creativity and love of beauty. If it’s a wedding ring or engagement ring, it represents success in finding a mate. But if bought by the wearer it can represent self-love. Consciously placed ring: Strengthen creativity, express friendliness, improve aesthetic awareness. Unconsciously placed ring: Creative frustration, concern with image, desire to be liked. Crystals: garnet, ruby, pink tourmaline, diamond. Little Finger Element: Air Considered the finger of impersonal identity. It reflects communication and sexuality. Also represents confidence in relationships and strength. Consciously placed ring: Improve communication, express sexuality/sexual identity, gain confidence in regards to relationships. Unconsciously placed ring: Poor communication, lies, difficulty with sexuality/sexual identity Crystals: blue topaz, sapphire, aquamarine. Thumb Element: Ether Your thumb symbolizes your spiritual identity. It relates to your will power, determination, and application of personal energy. It also reflects your ability to reason and apply logic. As the thumb is separate from the rest of the fingers, and a very useful finger, it also represents strength, independent thought, and freedom. Consciously placed ring: Boost energy level, increase will power/motivation, provide comfort, increase reasoning, increase personal strength and independence. Unconsciously placed ring: lack of energy, feeling powerless, lack of control, poor reasoning, feeling trapped, stubborn/stuck in own way, need for control, aggressive/forceful Crystals: moonstone, diamond, amethyst. Rings on all/many fingers This can indicate a negative circumstance that you are being faced with. It shows a likely lack of feeling safe or secure in your world, and that your putting on a front. It can also signify avoidance to deal with issues affecting your life.
