12th house and past lives

If you have no planets in the 12th house and are unsure of the house cusp, calculate the sign before your own ascending sign. For example, if you have Leo rising you have Cancer on the 12th house cusp. If you have Capricorn rising, you have Sagittarius on the 12th house cusp 

Sun in the 12th house/Leo on the 12th house cusp: The remnants of social importance from previous lifetimes activate through the spirit, there is a constant pressure to feel understood and gain acceptance, there is a spiritual purpose that in this lifetime is not recognised as they once were. In the past life the individual could have been a social representative, sovereignty, leader, artist, or public figure

Moon in the 12th house/Cancer on the 12th house cusp: The family dynamics and karma from ancestors is passed through to the individual such as past traumas, addictions, spiritual abuse. The individual made a lot of sacrifices, and the natural maternity can be astounding, they give form to the term ‘natural mother’, or 'natural father’. The individual may have been a devoted parent, crone, witch, nurse, or work with women in the community 

Mercury in the 12th house/Gemini or Virgo on the 12th house cusp: Thoughts from previous lifetimes make entrance so the individual can feel as though their mindset is trapped in another time. They can experience strange visuals or flashes with no origin. The individual may be a brilliant automatic writer or channeller because the memories of past life studies are so fresh. In past lives Gemini 12th house may have been a teacher, academic, messenger, writer. Virgo 12th house may have been a calligrapher, healer, pharmacist, nurse, witch. Virgo 12th house may carry on sicknesses from past lives that must be dealt with consciously 

Venus in the 12th house/Taurus or Libra on the 12th house cusp: The individual was a figure of beauty in previous lifetimes, likely revered for their artistry, femininity, and vision. There may have been abundant finances that are not so available in this lifetime, so the individual is used to a lavish life and may accumulate as though this is still so. Libra in the 12th inherits relationship dynamics and trauma from previous lifetimes, there is lingering heartbreak that needs to be healed

Mars in the 12th house/Aries on the 12th house cusp: The individual was forced to constantly fight for their life previously, so the survival dynamics can still subtly activate themselves, there can be unfounded fears about the world and inherited reactivity to danger. The spirit is used to danger, and it needs to be soothed in this lifetime. There may be troubles with men due to abuses in the past life 

Jupiter in the 12th house/Sagittarius on the 12th house cusp: The individual can access tremendous knowledge and wisdom through the portal of the higher mind because this was studied intently previously. The individual was likely a scholar, philosopher, or spiritualist. Because of the divine intimacy that was attained, the individual has inherited an intrinsic belief in the good powers of God and feels secretly protected. The abstract mind had been previously cultivated 

Saturn in the 12th house/Capricorn on the 12th house cusp: The guilt of the unfinished work in previous lifetimes is haunting, the individual feels they have inherited an intense responsibility that they are not ready for. Karmic family dynamics have been inherited that relate to the father, this relationship can be highly pressured or non existent 

Uranus in the 12th house/Aquarius on the 12th house cusp: Intuition and the ability to respond to this has been primed and cultivated in previous lifetimes meaning the individual is open to the flow of profound and developed intuitive wisdom that seems to come from nothing. There is natural spiritual knowledge that has not been consciously learned. In previous lifetimes the individual may have been a social outcast or reject, they may have been prosecuted for their progressive vision or knowledge. They may have been an astronomer, astrologer, occultist, scientist, academic, revolutionary 

Neptune in the 12th house/Pisces on the 12th house cusp: Dreams, visions, addictions, and sicknesses from past lives live through the individual they may be at hostage to previously cultivated psychic activity and psychological escapism. There is generous karma to relinquish, the individual may have been a mystic or mentally unwell. They have naturally adapted to the dreamlike state of reality 

Pluto in the 12th house/Scorpio on the 12th house cusp: This is a lifetime of constant, painful, and severe transformation in order to completely abolish and perish the demons that have been accumulated in previous lifetimes. The individual was a force of goodness and powerful societal change, in this lifetime they are offered the rectitude of focusing on themselves and reconciling the light and shadow

the many faces of saturn

the archetypes have many faces. mercury is not just about being a tricker and the moon doesn’t cry all the time. we’re predisposed to seeing mostly those faces of the archetypes which are strongly expressed in our chart and often remain blind to the rest. 

how do archetypes express their different sides most clearly? through aspects. in this post, i’m gonna go quickly over the expressions of saturn, one of the most multifaceted gods. it’s very easy to conclude saturn is one-dimensional and lacks complexity since it’s an archetype known for its connection to limitations and respect for clear and direct laws and authority. that’s why we often forget how complicated structures, one of the main things associated to the saturn archetype, are.

saturn is also connected to conflict. yes, we’re used to think about mars when it comes to confrontations or about mercury when it comes to arguments and debates. but saturn really steps in when things are about to get tense. this is not the martian way of stepping up face to face to the problem and telling it to shut the fuck up. this is not the mercurian propensity to turn everything into an intellectual butting of heads or the jupiterian inclination for endless philosophical debates where they get the final word. no, this is about friction between two opposing archetypes that you can’t turn away from before you raise your level.

i’m gonna explain this a bit. saturn is, in its very nature, an androgynous archetype. just like mercury. this means it combines two opposing principles - this is also what it teaches us how to do. that’s why when saturn is aspecting a planet, it’s there to teach that planet how to balance its nature with the exact polarity of its nature in order to attain its most perfect and elevated expression. saturn pushes you to gaze into the abyss of the negative expression of every archetype it aspects and to work hard on managing it and containing it. and to use it for your own good rather than just run from it. 

that’s why saturn demands conflict. it doesn’t let you turn away from the tension and it keeps you in its chokehold. “choke me daddy”, as the memes would say lmao

let’s have a look at the polarities it underlines when it aspects the planets.

sun in aspect to saturn - expression of the self vs control of the self. if you consciously develop the sun more or it’s more dominant in your chart, you’re going to rebuke anything you perceive as an attempt to restrict your self-expression, identity, and needs of the ego. if you consciously develop saturn more or it’s more prominent in your chart, you’re going to suffocate your desire to shine and express yourself authentically and to live feeling as if you’re not fulfilling your creative & individual potential. the key to balance is use control on the self not as a form of restriction but as a way to direct your growth and expression in the direction that you authentically feel inclined to take.

moon in aspect to saturn - nurturing the inner child vs telling it to behave. if you consciously develop the moon more or it’s more prominent in your chart, you’re going to expect everyone to baby you and go around calling everyone who isn’t eager to be your emotional slave “toxic” - you might also focus hard on meeting everyone else’s emotional needs and on making them feel completely comfortable, thus disregarding your own comfort. if you consciously develop saturn more or it’s more dominant in your chart, you’re going to scold yourself for every emotional expression or even for feeling anything and to expect the world to always treat you coldly, which will make you react to it with the same harshness. there will be a feeling of “the world is hostile so it’s not safe for my soft parts to be out there”. the key to balance is to let yourself feel emotions without trying to restrict them or encourage them in the process and to take a more analytical approach afterwards when you decide whether you need to provoke more of this feeling in your life or to learn how to avoid it.

mercury in aspect to saturn - theory vs practice. also known as intellect vs experience. if you consciously develop mercury more or it’s more prominent in your chart, you are going to focus too much on rationalizing things and analyzing them, leaving behind any practical understanding of the matter. if you consciously develop saturn more or it’s more dominant in your chart, you will scoff at people who don’t have substance behind their theories and speak without experiencing something first. you may be inclined to disregard the power of the mind and to be the kind of person that wants material proof of everything and “won’t believe it until i see it”. the key to balance is to accept the importance of both functions and to put them to work together - theorize boldly but then try to apply it in practice or freely analyze your experience in order to crystallize their essence.

venus in aspect to saturn - loving yourself & others as they are vs pushing yourself/them to be better so you/they are deserving of love. if you consciously develop venus more or it’s more dominant in your chart, you’re going to lack the drive to develop your gifts because you’re going to feel like what you have now is enough. there is a tendency to stay in bad relationships because it’s easy for you to see the beauty in everyone and to not demand anything better. if you consciously develop saturn more or it’s more prominent in your chart, you’re going to struggle with maintaining a healthy self-esteem and you’ll find it extremely difficult to love and accept yourself. you’re going to feel like you’re never good enough - the same might be seen in your relationships with other people, you’re often focusing on their weaknesses and pushing them to be better, forgetting to celebrate their strengths. the key to balance is to learn the importance of every stage in life and that living in the present is vital for creating the future - love the Self that lives in the now because she is the creator of the Self you’d love to be in the future. the artist is just as important as the artwork and in the end, they are one and they have been one all along.

mars in aspect to saturn - acting on impulse vs planning. if you consciously develop mars more or it’s more prominent in your chart, you’re going to look down on all sorts of thought out and structured long-term investments and actions and lack impulse control, acting mostly on your instinctive drive. if you consciously develop saturn more or it’s more prominent in your chart, you’re going to feel your impulsive drive constantly restricted and as if you constantly have to restrain your instinctive urges like some sort of wild animal. there is a difficulty in starting any action. the key to balance is learn how to harness the impulse so it can drive the plan forward. know yourself better and learn how your impulses arise and why - then be prepared to use them when it happens in a way that benefits your goals.

jupiter in aspect to saturn - puer aeternus (the eternal boy) vs the old man. if you consciously develop jupiter more or it’s more prominent in the chart, you’re going to experience difficulties settling down and being responsible, you’re going to feel as if everything is trying to “tie you down” and is an obstacle to your personal freedom. if you consciously develop saturn more or it’s more dominant in your chart, you’re going to purposefully restrict your freedom and constantly create structures and hierarchies that give you the feeling of stability that you crave. a part of you, the part of unlimited creative potential, may feel suffocated. the key to balance is to understand they are both sides of the same coin and can’t live without one another. the old man can teach the eternal boy how to realize his creative potential and the eternal boy can help the old man reconnect with that part of us that feels free and just experiences life without judgement or limitations.

uranus in aspect to saturn - the perfect world of the spirit and the mind vs the flawed and mortal world of matter and physical incarnation. if you consciously develop uranus more or it’s more dominant in your chart, you’re going to seek out an escape or a way to defeat the messy world of emotions and matter and you will live mostly in your head, denying yourself the rest of life. if you consciously develop saturn more or it’s more prominent in your chart, you’re going to try to castrate the immortal and limitless world of ideas and abstractions and to deny yourself the power of rebellion against the prison of matter. the key to balance is to channel the hunger for perfection into incarnating physically that world of ideas and abstractions - can be through your work or your art. this is a generational aspect so it affects on a less personal level.

neptune in aspect to saturn - perception vs judgement. if you consciously develop neptune more or it’s more dominant in your chart, you’re focusing too much on understanding others and putting yourself in their shoes. this emphasized connection to the entirety of the human consciousness may drain you and leave you unable to define and defend your own boundaries, to choose what is good for you as opposed to what is good for others - sometimes we all need to make that choice if we don’t wanna turn into doormats. and this kind of behavior can be extremely damaging for the people around you too, not just yourself. if you consciously develop saturn more or it’s more prominent in your chart, you’re going to put effort into shutting yourself away from anything that makes you feel connected to the whole and a part of everything. you may be too cautious of who you let close to you and who you approve of in general and to judge everything harshly, thinking everyone is always out to get you. the key to balance is to perceive the world in its wholeness and to judge what is best for every part of the whole, realizing that everyone deserves to be happy and satisfied without someone having to sacrifice themselves for it. this is a generational aspect so it affects on a less personal level.

pluto in aspect to saturn - tearing yourself down vs building yourself up. if you consciously develop pluto more or it’s more dominant in your chart, you’re going to always seek out for ways to destroy yourself even by creating drama and harmful situations/relationships for yourself in order to become someone else, someone stronger and more powerful. if you consciously develop saturn more or it’s more prominent in your chart, you will be stuck on bettering and maintaining structures that are no longer necessary or useful just because you don’t want to destroy what you’ve invested time & effort in. the key to balance is to work on knowing yourself better so you can pick which structures of your life/personality are needed and which aren’t and to fearlessly destroy those that serve no purpose, building the new ones from scratch. this is a generational aspect so it affects on a less personal level.

ascendant in aspect to saturn - who you are vs who you think you should be. there is a limiting quality to your self-expression and fear of being judged for behaving in a way that’s not approved by whoever you see as an authority. if you consciously develop your ascendant more or it’s stronger in your chart, you may develop quite a scandalous reputation or appear as someone inconsiderate and uncooperative. you may give off a “i will not give you what you want” vibe that pushes people away subconsciously. if you consciously develop saturn more or it’s more dominant in your chart, you may restrict yourself painfully and feel like you’re suffocating from pretending you’re someone you’re not. you’re the voice of the inner judge that is constantly scolding you for being who you are and giving off the wrong message. the key to balance is in self-reflection - you need to learn how to discern between who someone else wants you to be, who you are and who you want yourself to be. certainly there are traits that others want you to be that you aspire to develop for yourself simply because it will elevate the Self you are now. instead of adopting those traits out of fear for being judged or abandoned or alienated, focus on filtering out those that truly don’t match your authentic desires and on trying to develop those that you find worth in.

north node in aspect to saturn - the road ahead vs blocks and obstacles. if you consciously develop your north node more or it’s more prominent in your chart, you’re going to rush forward to fulfill your life purpose without stopping to learn the lessons that the path is actually paved with. and that sorts of…defeats the purpose. if you consciously develop saturn more or it’s more dominant in your chart, you’ll be so stuck on removing any barier from your way and on dealing with your hardships that you’ll get carried away from actually moving forward and from remembering you have aspirations you wanna reach. the key to balance is to deal with obstacles in the way that the person you imagine yourself to be after fulfilling your life purpose would deal with them. that’s how you become them.

/conjunctions, oppositions and squares will be felt the strongest and demand attention; trines and sextiles are more balanced in general but there is still work to be done; inconjunctions often manifest in your life in ways that you’re not quite aware of and need extra conscious effort to be noticed/

Hi Diana! You mention a lot the Fates on your posts.I got really interest on ow to get a bigger contact with them.Could you tell me how I can have a proper and respectful contact with them?And what can I use as offerings?

The Ritual of Meeting the Fates

Unlike Venus, the Fates do not bestow beauty. Unlike Apollo, they do not gift victory. Unlike Pluto and Mars, they do not promise potency.

The Fates are the authors of destiny. Clotho, who spins the thread of life... Lachesis, who decides its length... Atropos, who one day cuts it.

As their devotee, not only are you granted glimpses of what has been, what is, and what will be, but the ability to change what they have written already.

That is why their patronage does not come cheaply. Worshipping them is not for everybody.

1) Approach at the time of your birth.

You may perform this ritual on any day, for the Fates can hear you at any time.

But it must be on the same hour as when you were born, to symbolize your desire to be reborn as their seer.

Once you begin, there can be no breaks in between.

2) Have an elder cut your hair.

With a knife that has been in your family for at least three generations, have your blood mother, grandmother or another elder cut three inches of your hair.

Tie your locks with a ribbon you owned as child. Bury it in the earth of your childhood home, where you have memories, sad and glad.

This is you burying your innocence. As a servant of the Fates, you will see things no "child" can.

3) Find a mirror as tall as you.

Place it in a locked room free of noise and sunlight. Stand in front of the mirror in darkness, with only a white candle in hand for light.

In your own language, tell Clotho the birth name of the one you most love... tell Lachesis the name of the one you most envy... and Atropos, the name of the one you most despise. This is you revealing to them who you are deep inside.

Look into the mirror. Stare until your face warps into that of an old woman. That is the Fates accepting you into their service.

The ritual is done.

Build them an altar. Give them books. Mortals' tales to entertain the authors of life. Give them food. To nourish them when they visit you on earth.

Invoke them for divination and vengeance. Count on their revelation and guidance.

But if your face did not warp into an old woman's... your plea has been rejected.

Do not try the ritual again, or three years of your life will be taken.

Major Arcana Cheat Sheet

The Fool: The Fool is a very powerful card in the Tarot deck, usually representing a new beginning – and, consequently, an end to something in your old life. The Fool’s position in your spread reveals which aspects of your life may be subject to change. The Fool portends important decisions ahead which may not be easy to make, and involve an element of risk for you. Approach the changes with optimism and care to gain the most positive outcome.

The Magician: The Magician generally associates with intelligent and skillful communicators. His presence in your spread indicates a level of self-confidence and drive which allows you to translate ideas into action. A practical card, the revelations it brings are best applied to the pragmatic and physical aspects of your life, rather then the ephemeral or theoretical. Your success in upcoming ventures in politics or business will likely hinge upon your own strength of will and determination.

The High Priestess: Your identification with the High Priestess suggests you possess inherent good judgment, in the form of strong intuition. She may indicate that reason should take second place to instinct. Your head must trust in the wisdom of your heart for a change. Yet, she is also an aide by nature, and her presence in certain parts of your spread could be indicative of someone close to you coming to your rescue with their own intuition. Intuition is most effective at seeing what is hidden to the senses, so the High Priestess may also come as a warning of concealed facts or influences that are, or will be, important to you.

The Empress: Traditionally associated with strong maternal influence, the presence of the Empress is excellent news if you are looking for harmony in your marriage or hoping to start a family. Any artistic endeavors you are currently associated with are also likely to be more successful, as this card often finds those exposed to strong bursts of creative or artistic energy. That creative energy may not be in the form of a painting or art project, however: This card also suggests a very strong possibility of pregnancy – not necessarily yours, but you might be seeing a new addition to your extended family or the family of a close friend in the near future! This card is a good portent for you and those around you.

The Emperor: Counterpart to the Empress, the Emperor is signifies a powerful influence, generally male in nature. This can also include concepts in your life historically considered masculine, such as leadership and authority, self-discipline, and stability through the power of action. Its positive influences suggest you may be on a path to advancement or promotion, but it can also be neutral. Often a companion to those destined to take on greater responsibility, it may presage change or loss that necessitates you stepping forward to shoulder a greater burden than you have in the past. Whatever the impetus for the change, it indicates you may possess an uncommon inner strength that will compel you act and to lead.

The Hierophant (Pope): Depending on your own nature, the Hierophant can mean very different things. At its root, it represents doctrine, but doctrine can come in the form of teaching and guidance or rigid authority. Where it appears in your spread is also important, as it is most often indicative of your own approach to the moral, religious, and social conventions of the world. Considered wisely, it helps show the path towards fulfillment. 

The Lovers: Your first instinct will most likely be to associate this card as representing love, but, much like love, it does not possess a simple nature. Not only does love comes in many forms, but the Lovers may indicate important or difficult choices ahead in your life. This is bad, in that the choices it portends are generally mutually exclusive, paths to two very different futures, but also good, in that it also confirms that at least one of those paths will take you to a good place. As such, if you happen to find it in your spread, you should consider it carefully, but not fear it. It tells a story of difficult choices, likely painful, but that the correct decision and a positive outcome are within your grasp. 

The Chariot: You have some hard work ahead of you. It may be resolved quickly, but the Chariot is a powerful card, and the labor you are undertaking will probably trend towards long and difficult. You will quite possibly experience rough roads, long uphill slopes, dead ends, and painful setbacks. A good outcome is only assured if the card is upright, but do not let yourself lose hope: This hard road will instill in you a strength of purpose, the ability to overcome through organization and endurance, and the confidence possessed only by those who have done what they thought they could not. Harnessed correctly, few forces can stand against an individual like that. 

Strength: Strength is the rawest form of power, and you possess it in some form. It is a very happy card if you are fighting illness or recovering from injury. As might be suspected, its influence over you, and the use you put it to, can trend towards light or dark. You likely trend towards facing your problems courageously, head-on, and conquering them through perseverance and will. With this ability to overcome life’s obstacles, though, comes the responsibility to control yourself, and it this card may be a warning to take command of your own actions or emotions before they damage you or the people you care about.

The Hermit: There are times in every life, when one must step back and make a careful examination of their situations and decisions. Finding the Hermit in your spread suggests this is just such a time for you. You are in need of a period of inner reflection, away from the current demands of your position. This retreat can be physical, or a search within. Only a deep and honest introspection will lead to a solution, however.

Wheel of Fortune: Symbolic of life’s cycles, the Wheel of Fortune speaks to good beginnings. Most likely, you will find the events foretold to be positive, but, being aspects of luck, they may also be beyond your control and influence. Tend those things you can control with care, and learn not to agonize over the ones you cannot.

Justice: Justice is a very good card to find in your spread if you have acted with kindness and fairness towards other and, especially, if you have been a victim. It is a significant indicator of a positive resolution, although how and what sort will depend on your own experiences. If you have been unfair, abusive, or otherwise shady and immoral in your dealings, though, pay heed. For the unjust, this card is, at best, a dire warning to change your ways before retribution falls upon you, and, at worst, a simple statement that it is already too late. In neutral cases, it may simply be telling you to seek out balance in your life. 

The Hanged Man: The Hanged Man can be interpreted in two very different ways. All change is a small kind of death, as the old must die to create the new, and it may simply indicate upheaval or change in your future, perhaps beyond your control, but more likely a decision that, for good or ill, you will not be able to turn back from. The other interpretation is one of sacrifice, although whether this sacrifice is small or great may not be easily interpreted. Both interpretations imply permanence, and that you should give very careful thought to the decisions in your life. 

Death: Death is indicative of change in your future. This change can be in almost any aspect of your life, but it will almost certainly be permanent, significant, and absolute. Death suggests a complete severance between the past and the future, and it will likely be painful. Despite the sense of loss that may accompany it, Death fills an important and natural role in life, and leads eventually to acceptance. It is a necessary part of moving forward, and you will find the changes easiest if you embrace them, rather than fight them. Expect the end of a close friendship, a job, a marriage, or even a life, but do not focus too greatly on the negative.

Temperance: An optimistic card, Temperance encourages you to find balance in your life and approach problems with a calm demeanor. It recognizes that opposing forces need not be at war within you. Tread carefully in any major decisions you make, with confidence that good decisions will lead to a good resolution for you.

The Devil: The Devil is in the business of entrapment. It signifies a situation from which there is no escape, or a road leading to one. Forewarning may let you avoid the trap, or it may not. What sort of trap, and how you might avoid it, depends on where the Devil appears in your spread, and what other cards surround it. This card does not foretell doom, only the need for prudence.

The Tower: Dark and foreboding, the Tower is the embodiment of disruption and conflict. Not just change, but the abrupt and jarring movement caused by the unforeseen and traumatic events which are part of life. The Tower in your spread is always a threat, but life inevitably involves tragedy, and you must decide whether you will face it with grace.

The Star: The Star’s presence signifies a period of respite and renewal for you. This renewal may be spiritual, physical, or both. It is a particularly positive sign if you or someone close is recovering from illness or injury. It is a light in the darkness, illuminating your future and your past.

The Moon: Something in your life is not what it seems. Perhaps a misunderstanding on your part, or a truth you cannot admit to yourself. It may also indicate something important being kept from you by another. This may be a source of worry or depression in your life, and the Moon is a strong indicator that you must rely on your intuition to see through the subterfuge.

The Sun: As an inherently good influence, finding the Sun is a positive development. It is suggestive of personal gain, and that personal goals and joy are within reach, if you are willing to invest the effort to actualize them. If you are embarking on a new personal venture, such as marriage or beginning a family, the Sun is of particular influence. 

Judgement: Judgment tells a story of transition, but unlike Death or the Tower, it is not sudden change, or born of luck or intuition, but change that springs from reason. It signifies plans, often long in the making, coming to fruition. If it points towards the future, it may also speak towards the nature of the change; if there is a choice that needs to be made, ruminate and let your mind guide the decision. Logic, in this case, is a better guide than intuition. Be prepared to make a major decision in your life, likely one that will shape the next chapter of your life.

The World: The World is an indicator of a major and inexorable change, of tectonic breadth. This change represents a chance for you to bring about a desirable end to the Old and a good beginning to the New. It is indicative of growing maturity, a sense of inner balance and deeper understanding. It suggests that you may be approaching a more final sense of identity, and the security in the self that comes with age. It also represents the falling away of boundaries, sometimes in the effusive sense of the spiritual, but sometimes in a purely physical sense, indicating travels or journeys in the future. 

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.
