Pile 1 - Serenity

energy check: taurus, libra, gemini

You are on the verge of a new beginning, dear pile 1. A cycle has been closed and another path has opened to you.

As the keyword suggests, this will be a time of peace for you - I've heard "a reprieve" as in relief. Maybe you have been feeling this relief coming for a while now, but it has been delayed for some reason or another, it'll be different for each of you, however this time it's for real - I've heard "it's coming".

With the energy of The World card we also have that many cycles are closing; you're sitting in between chapters, dear, so you may be feeling exhausted and like needing to rest a lot, but that resting your physical body doesn't help much. Partaking in self care "rituals" that can bring you emotional, mental, and spiritual refreshment is advised.

Next steps in your journey: The Magician, The High Priestess, The Empress.

The three cards following your current position can guide you and give you some insight on what to expect in the near future. When you enter The Magician energy, you'll feel like you have all the tools you need to manifest your goals.

After that, The High Priestess is there to guide you in getting to know yourself inside and out, or to illuminate some aspect of your life that will be your focus in this new beginning. And finally, The Empress is you being able to sit in your own power as a sovereign being - you have conquered obstacles and fears through unconditional love and understanding.

Channeled message: "Harmony, calmness. Serenity."

Pile 2 - Adventure

energy check: virgo, aries, leo

A time of abundance, a new adventure, it's what is coming up in your timeline, pile 2.

For some, this pile might be the continuity of pile 1, however this is a reading for it's own collective.

You are sitting in your Divine Feminine energy, dear pile 2. And this energy is manifesting into your life as a creative urge, or an inkling to nurture parts of you that were shadowed or neglected for too long.

There's also a need to embrace, embody, and balance the Divine Masculine energy in yourself and in your life. Are you getting stuck in your head too much? Do you live in a world of ideas and never put anything into practice? The Fool is here to ask you to take action in regards to your dreams.

It's a funny "coincidence", I just paused a movie to tackle this pile and the main character had just said: "life is movement". And that is true, pile 2, life is always moving. It's a never ending cycle of cycles within cycles. But we're not chasing our own tails, we're ascending in a spiral.

The goal is wholeness, if you're wondering. The Lovers, inner union, wholeness.

Next steps in your journey: The Emperor, The Hierophant, The Lovers.

There's not much to say in regards to the next steps of your journey... You already know what you have to do, dear, you already have what you need to start - you only need to start.

Channeled message: "Continuous transformation. The only constant is change."

Pile 3 - Idea

energy check: pisces, scorpio, cancer

funny thing that happened while I was drawing your runes: I tapped into the collective energy of this pile with my eyes closed, and was like "oh, this is my water pile" then I picked three runes from my astrology stash, which I had only the signs in, and voila, the three runes were the three water signs, lmao.

Justice has been served in your life recently, my dear pile 3.

For this collective we have something a bit different. The deck I was guided to use has the Justice card (traditionally card 11 of the tarot) and the card Strength (traditionally card 7 of the tarot) switched positions. I don't believe it was a mistake, to be honest, the energy around it feel very deliberate. I did confirm, twice, if I should use the original order of the cards for your reading and I got a positive answer.

Therefore, Justice has been delivered swiftly, pile 3. Especially with The Chariot for how the energy is manifesting in your life. I've heard "the scales have been/are being balanced."

You may have chosen to close a cycle, dear, or you may have been forced to close one. Whatever it was, know you made the right choice, and that this happened for your highest good. I've heard "you will be delivered." - Whatever that means to you, take it as it resonates.

Oh, some of you may have asked for divine justice. If I recall correctly I did a post talking about this; not sure if it was a PAC or in a Q&A post. So, this is your confirmation that your request has been heard and granted.

Next steps in your journey: The Hermit, The Wheel of Fortune, Strength.

To be honest this doesn't feel like next steps, pile 3. It feels more like simultaneous steps, or continuous steps that you are being asked to take - I'm also getting that for some of you it might feel like you're being forced, and others that you are forcing yourself. Like when life gets rough, but you just need to keep going because the alternative is not good for you.

It's different for each of you, but your guides are supporting you every step of the way, and they want you to know that you are doing amazing and they're very proud of you. I keep hearing someone referring to you as "sweetie", it feels like an older feminine energy, maybe a guide or a relative that has passed away and is watching over you.

"You're not alone dear. It's hard, right now, and we see your suffering, but it'll be over soon, rest assured... and take it easy. You've done an amazing job, and we're all very proud of you." - your guides (and grandma)

Channeled message: "Loyalty, idealism. Being in company of the truth."

Pile 4 - Athena

energy check: sagittarius, aquarius, capricorn

You are the star, pile 4, literally. Athena's energy came through strongly for this collective, when I saw the owl picture while searching for the pile images, I immediately knew it was a sign.

I only have three tarot decks, so I had to be creative and mix the three to get your cards, pile 4. This might be a sign for some of you. Maybe you always felt like you had to make do with what you were given in life.

This was a great lesson, dear, a hard one, but one that is invaluable. You have become the wheel, pile 4. That's why your life doesn't look like the life of your peers. You're on a different timeline than the people around you, and yes that is very difficult to live with.

You may feel you have no friends, or that you never truly connect with the friends you make. And that's because you and them are on different vibrations, your consciousness literally inhabit different realities. There's nothing wrong with you, my dear. You're only walking a different path.

Next steps in your journey: The Moon, The Sun, Judgment.

I can't say much about your next steps, pile 4. Not only because it's different to each one of you, but because The Moon is the veiled card. It's the card of illusion and disillusionment. The unknown awaits you, pile 4... well, in truth, it awaits all of us.

Whatever lies ahead, know it's going to take you to extremes - the moon and the sun. But, it'll be fair, or fairness will prevail in the end. I'm being guided to say: "we reap what we sow."

Channeled message: "Letting yourself go. Time heals everything."

2. Can we get different spirit guides if we don't like the ones we have right now?

This is a bit funny for them, it apparently "happens" a lot, like this complaint is common. The answer is yes, but it depends. Again, they know things we do not have awareness of, hence our "demand" for new guides can be an ego thing. So, it is possible, but only if some law has been violated, or if they themselves choose to part ways. Now, that is not common at all, and it's not "abandonment" but protection for them.

What do you mean by 'protection', Liliana? I mean that this only happens in extreme cases, like someone going down a very very dark path, and the spirit guides - as evolved souls - can and most likely will choose to walk away as this is their way of respecting your free will. They do want me to clarify that even in those instances, they are still your guides, but they most likely won't be near you "at all times" since being near you would also mean having to be in that lower vibrational energy that inadvertently attracts lower vibrational souls and entities, which can be dangerous to them. They will do their job and try to "take you out of there", but you are a sovereign being, you have free will, and if you choose to be in a lower vibration, or be around lower vibrational people, or in lower vibrational places, there's not much they can do for you "but pray for your soul and wait".

3. Can spirit guides become too controlling if you give too much power away?

This is also an interesting question, and a bit complex. The answer is no, our spirit guides assigned to us before birth cannot become too controlling, they in fact do not have control over us or our lives.

Our higher-self has the control over our lives, and in certain circumstances the spiritual hierarchy also has control over our lives, however this only happens if/when a spiritual law has been broken - yes, we can break spiritual law even if we are still incarnated. You probably know this by the name karma. Karma is spiritual law taking place, we usually think of karma as only the consequence to bad actions, but Karma is the law of cause and effect that governs actions, both here on Earth and in the spiritual planes.

While your spirit guides are "bounded by oath" and cannot control your life, they in fact can only act on your behalf with your permission, or with your higher-self permission; other beings in the astral can in fact become too controlling if you give your power away. These are in their vast majority self serving entities, that may manipulate/deceive you to sign a contract with them. These contracts are void in most cases, due to the manipulation/deceiving part, and can be effectively broken if you invoke divine justice. That's why it's important to always stand in your power and do not idolize things/people/places/etc. When you put things on a pedestal you are effectively giving your power away.

4. Can spirit guides ruin our lives on purpose/punish us if we do not do what they tell us to?

"No."

They were very adamant in having that answer first and as directly and blunt as possible. We already established the nature of spirit guides, and what they can and cannot do, what they effectively have power over. So, I find that that simple no is enough, however I shall also add that this question ties to a behavioral pattern that is very very common in self-serving entities - especially those who are considered "demonic" in nature.

This is also a tactic used to manipulate us into signing contracts with them. There is a piece of advice that can help tremendously, and that is in your dreams, do not sign anything. And if you have signed something inside a dream, you can ask your higher-self and your guides help to invoke divine justice. You do not need to know what it was, who did it to you - because yes, it can also be someone incarnated that is manipulating you through the astral.

If you suspect your free will has been violated, you can invoke divine justice and the case will be looked into by the spiritual hierarchy. Also, I know this sounds a bit scary, but know there are no consequences for doing so. This is a right you have as a sovereign soul, and this is you reclaiming your power. To make sure, I'll give you the affirmation you use, either out loud or in you mind:

"I invoke divine justice, for my highest good, in divine harmony, with the most benevolent outcome. Thank you, thank you, thank you. And so it is."

Again, you do not need to know the details, if you suspect your free will has been infringed in any way, feel free to invoke divine justice - I, in fact, advise you to do so. Now, more than ever, is an auspicious time for doing do, as Earth is shifting into the 5D and we in the astral need all the help we can get to balance the scales.

I hope, and intent, that this helps you and many others! Thank you for your questions. Wishing you a lovely day. ^-^/

Oh man I got to buy more decks, lmao. Doing free readings is giving me so many ideas and my decks are very niche, I need to expand, lol. Okay, to answer your question I'm going to use the Color Meditation cards, the Lenormand deck, playing cards and also my diy deck. I will also channel info, so we can have a visual representation of your vibe.

Also, this reading is based on your energy. So, we got: 32. Wisteria (Peace), 30. Blue (Clarity, Balance), and 8. Scarlet (Flames, Life) at the bottom of the deck. I'm getting the aesthetic that blends modern elegance with what I can only describe as empowerment. I was guided to a playlist on spotify and the woman on the cover is literally the vibe I was getting through my mind's eye - her name is Nessa Barrett. But I'm not getting that this is about the way she dresses, it's more about the vibe she exudes yk? Specially in black and white pictures. I'll put some pics below so you know what I mean.

This song also stood out to me while searching, mostly due to the thumbnail, but I actually watched/listened to it and it does "resonate" with the vibe I'm getting. Someone who found herself after going through a lot, and was able to rebuild herself and now stands in her power - I've heard "sovereignty."

Which is actually mirroring the cards I got from Lenormand: 24. Heart, 21. Mountain, and 25. Ring at the bottom of the deck. I heard "committed to self-love." So, despite the music being about toxic love and being unable to move on from it, I'm getting the opposite here, watching it I'm almost seeing like she already moved on and is letting go of the memories, and we see the man burying a past version of her while she has already grieved and now is living happily.

From my diy deck, which is based on the 12 Jungian Archetypes, we got The Hero, and The Explorer. We also have The Magician at the bottom, but I'm seeing this more as the magician in tarot, like you can manifest what you want for yourself and for your life.

With The Hero, you are "the leader of your life" I've heard - you might have some aries placement, I'm actually getting that it might be an aries rising? Or maybe this is a (pre)dominant energy in your chart so this is how you come across to others. Confident and sure of yourself, put together.

And with The Explorer I'm getting literally a free spirit - nearly wrote a "free soul" - you might like to explore, to learn new things. You also come across to others as someone well known, like someone who "knows their way around", who has traveled a lot and learned a lot. I'm also getting Sagittarius energy here. You might want to try a lot of (new) things in life, or you awaken that desire in others.

Okay, to close this reading, we got: Queen of Clubs (Wands), 2 of Hearts (Cups), and 8 of Hearts (Cups) at the bottom.

I'm being guided to use these to look for images on pinterest, lol. Here are some that I feel embody the energy I'm picking from these cards, and from you:

I could go on forever, lol, but I think this is enough, and it's quite late here already. I hope this answers your question, SJ!

Thank you for your request, wishing you a wonderful day!

I'm being guided to get a channeled song - funny that I was already picking up on this in the previous reading I just did, lol. Aaand, we got the song: The Only Thing by Zola Blood. (link will open spotify)

I'm getting that the song isn't necessarily a channeled message, maybe is more about how you are feeling currently, or the energy you are "sitting in."

I was guided to rephrase the question to "What will C.R's love life look like in the next 6 months?" and, also, I'm using the Healing Energy Oracle deck. We got the cards: Freedom, Goodness, and Harmony at the bottom of the deck.

With Freedom it seems that you'll - I heard "continue" - to be single. But this energy actually feels so good, and we got the Goodness card right next to it as well. I think you'll accept and "embody" your "singlehood" C.R.

I'm feeling you'll be at such a good place within yourself that your love life will be at the back of your mind - I've heard "your love life will take a break"? Maybe it's you'll take a break from your love life, or like, from worrying about it?

Your guides are asking you to focus on yourself, and don't worry about this.

They're also holding me hostage so I can't tell you much, but I can tell you that once we focus on yourselves life suddenly flows easier.

Be at peace dear, do what makes you feel good, enjoy your life to the fullest - I also heard "but don't do anything crazy" and "take care of yourself."

Your guides love you very much, and they want you to be happy - but to be truly happy we need to find happiness within ourselves. And if it's not there we create it, we nurture ourselves until our cup overflows.

Some phrases that are standing out to me in the cards:

I realise my wounds create doubt.

Resentment and guilt. (i almost wrote guilty, so you might feel guilty about something, your guides are asking you to heal this)

I open myself for the divine love within me. (I slightly altered this phrase to match what your guides want you to know)

Feed on the positive. (meaning to focus and also nurture the positive in your life)

Through gentleness... support... and love, to myself.

Thank you so much for requesting, darling. I hope this was helpful. Wishing you a wonderful day! ^-^/

Will you meet your romantic significant other on the 2nd half of 2026?

I just want to point out that I had a bit of "trouble" getting the phrasing of this question right. So, your guides might be wanting you to "drop the labels" a bit. To answer this question I was guided to use the Wild Child Oracle deck, and we got the cards: XXV. Mirage, and at the bottom of the deck, XXIV. Light.

Interesting that I almost wrote the Light card first, despite it being at the bottom of the deck. Right away what I got is a no, you won't be meeting your significant other yet. This is due to you still having some healing to do, more specifically, with the Light card here, this is about your spiritual growth. Yep, bellow the Light card we have the card VIII. Cocoon Stage.

What I'm getting here is that you are still - I've heard "you are still due to have a spiritual awakening." And that this might actually be the catalyst to it - by this I mean this reading and you interacting with me. (I have that effect on people, sorry, but it's for your highest good.)

Oh, I just noticed that the tarot deck I was going to use at first - which I abandoned in favor of the oracle per your spirit guide's counsel - actually is facing up so the bottom card is visible, and that card is none other than The Fool. So, yeah, this here might be a new beginning for you, HSM.

I also completely forgot you asked a second question, but that actually ties in with what we just talked about. Therefore:

2. What can you do to heal yourself? (your guides dictated this question)

"You must connect with your inner child, and allow the masks you wear to fall flat on earth... the same earth that your soiled feet walk everyday. Purify it. To purify you. You are not your thoughts; these are vile accusations of another person's mind. They are not truth, they are not for you, but for those who spell it themselves. Heal child, heal. Your heart is made of diamond coins, not of thorns and mud. Heal child, heal."

I channeled this from, I believe, your higher-self, HSM.

There is a need to show yourself love, and compassion. There's a need for acceptance, both of yourself and of whatever you went through - I've heard "of whatever happened to you."

To answer your questions specifically; you'll only see your worth when you look at yourself through your own eyes, and this is how you'll heal your self-worth/self-esteem issues. This can be difficult at first, but you need to ask yourself everyday whether you are looking at yourself through your own eyes, or through the eyes of those who hurt you - even if it wasn't their intention.

To close this reading I got guidance from the Healing Energy Oracle for you: Here and Now, I Am Light, and Harmony at the bottom of the deck. These are the phrases that are standing out to me:

I always have hope.

No matter the ordeal... I open my Heart to others. (this might be a confirmation instead of advice)

I have the power to bring light into my life... (and turn my life) into something beautiful.

The future does not exist... I focus on the present moment.

There is no danger.

Everything happens when the soul is ready.

Thank you so much for your request, HSM! I hope this was helpful. ^-^/

This person will be different. They may have unorthodox ways, or simply have a different background than yours - like those drama tropes where the couple are from different social classes yk? But it may not be a class thing here, we have the Hierophant reversed, so it can be anything from their appearance not being your "type" to a different religious upbringing, I'm not getting that they are from a different culture than yours though or from a different ethnic background, they could be mixed but I'm sensing that's "as far as it'd go", so even if they are mixed ethnicity their cultural background is mostly the same as yours.

There is still something in common here between you two, despite them having something unorthodox about them. I hope that makes sense.

Now, we have the Page of Pentacles and the 4 of Cups, which tells me right now this person is focused on themselves and on their finances.

I was also guided to draw from the playing cards - a Copag deck might be significant here, maybe they like playing cards, and the smell of the cards stood out to me, which made me think about new books, so you might first meet at a bookstore or a store where new items are being sold, something along those lines.

From the playing cards deck, the Ace of Cups came out on top of the Page of Pentacles, so this further confirms that this person wants to get their life together before getting involved romantically with someone. I'm also getting that they are working on themselves in other areas too, like they are trying to love themselves and improve themselves... I'm getting that they are quite mature, but they might be young age-wise, probably around your age.

We have three eights here. This person is currently exhausted from their circumstances. The 8 of Swords came out beside the Page of Pentacles, so their finances and the need to be financially independent is currently stressing them out. We also have the 8 of wands beside the 4 of Cups, so they have a need to take quick action, but they might have a need to have everything under control and this acts as a block, or at least slows down their progress.

Speaking of a need to take quick action, I almost forgot to mention that we that the Strength card at the bottom of the tarot deck. So they might be a fire sign, or have a fire dominant chart. This is also symbolizing their character, they are someone who is resilient, and I'm hearing "mature" again; they know how they want their lives to look like and won't stop until they achieve that vision. I just heard "they'll grow up to be a beautiful person."

Finishing our line of the playing cards, we have the 8 of Pentacles at the bottom of the deck. Which brings me to what I think is some insight they wanted to share about their background. I'm getting that this person actually comes from money but for some reason they weren't allow to have access to it. We also have the Queen of Wands, the 9 of Wands, and the King of Pentacles.

The 9 of Wands is on top of the Queen, but beside the King. At first I thought this was about this person and someone they were in a relationship in, but that's not the case at all. This is actually about their parents. They might be divorced, separated, or just have a really difficult marriage.

But what I'm getting here is that, despite whatever issues and difficulties this person might have had with their parents, they are still very very important to them. They might have had a strict upbringing and this caused a rift between them and their parents, like emotionally, but their parents still play a big part on their lives.

To close this reading I asked for a message from your guides to you:

We got cards 34. Fish, 13. Child, and 27. Letter - using the Lenormand deck. Your guides are asking you to reconnect with your inner child at this moment. The card Fish traditionally means finances, but here I'm getting that this is about your emotional world and your subconscious mind. Maybe there is a limiting belief about money that stems from your childhood that needs to be looked into and "dissolved". The card Letter is also giving me that you might want to journal about your childhood to figure out this - I was going to say maybe write a letter to your inner child or to your younger self, but your guides are saying "no" and that it's for you to literally write about your childhood.

I also got a card from the Healing Energy Oracle for you; Wisdom, and Positive Action at the bottom of the deck. The positive action is reminding me of what we just talked about - writing about your childhood.

As for Wisdom, this passage is standing out to me:

"I don't force things to happen faster than the Universe has decided for me."

I hope this was helpful, M! Thank you so much for your request, it gave me a few ideas for content that will bring a lot of value to our lovely community here.

May divine source guide you on your path. Take care! ^-^/

We got The Lovers and The Fool, so he might actually have a crush on you too!

What does he thinks about you?

The World! On this deck this card is depicted as a couple dancing, so I'm getting that he definitively vibes with you, lol. I'm also picking up that you makes him feel expansive? Like you broaden his horizons.

How does he view you?

The Sun came out, so you really light up this person's life AM! But we also got the 7 of Cups, so he might not see you clearly due to his crush yk? Or he feels like you give him mixed signals. He might also daydream about you - i've heard "you two."

Oh, and I also think he wonders what you feel or how you view him as well, because when I was shuffling the cards for this question I mindlessly started asking "How does AM views/feels about PA?" lol, sometimes that happens and it's due to me tapping into the energy of the person I'm reading for, in this case I was reading his energy. I hope this makes sense, lol.

I'm literally getting a deja-vu right now... Interesting.

Anyway, let's see if there is potential for a relationship!

So, I'm not getting a straight answer here. I was told to switch decks and then they draw my attention to the fact that the deck was all over the place, like half the cards where upside down so I had to take time and fix that since I don't read reversals like that. Then I asked again and got the 4 of Swords and the 4 of Cups. Before that I also heard spirit say "it's not the time to know."

And we have the 3 of Swords at the bottom, so I'm feeling like you might be disappointed with this answer, but know that this is for your highest good. And that this is not a no! It's just a "you need to focus on yourself and your life right now", so that you are ready to get into a relationship and make it work.

I'm also getting that this person is also being guided to "get their life together", so if you two do the work and are still meant to come together, you will. Don't worry about it darling, and even though we didn't receive a no, sometimes redirection is protection. Not that this person would intentionally hurt you, but sometimes we have experiences with people that we wish we hadn't had yk? It saves us the heartbreak and sometimes, the disappointment is so great we get scarred for a long time and shut off wonderful experiences with other people because we're still hurting too much from that one person who broke our hearts.

Again, this wasn't a no. It's just a focus on yourself and if it's meant to be, it'll be in time.

Thank you for your request, wishing you a lovely day!

We got the 8 of Wands, The World, and the 8 of Cups. Bottom of the deck is 2 of Pentacles.

So, I see that you put in a lot of effort into them, and that now that they're out in the world, you truly let them go and is hoping for the best. With the 8 of Pentacles I see mixed responses for the energies, put you definitively made a few eyebrows be raised in interest. Some people might be too invested in themselves to give your work a real chance, but this is due to their big egos getting in their way - the deck I'm using has a woman facing their reflection in a lake mirroring that famous narcissus painting. But there is also someone watching from afar, so there are people curious too. I pulled a clarifier and got The Lovers, so the overall energy is extremely good! You are definitively being perceived as someone motivated and committed to your work, and your work is being seen as inspirational and even beautiful.

Now, let's check to see if at least one of them will get accepted:

Oh yeah! We got 7 of Wands and 10 of Pentacles. I asked for one more card and got the Queen of Wands, but "accidentally" pulled the Wheel of Fortune with it.

Yes, at least one of them will get accepted. The 7 of Wands in this deck is a bit different and while looking at it I'm seeing in my mind's eye a meeting in an office. When paired with the other cards I'm getting that you might actually receive job offers, like people "literally" fighting to hire you lol, and this might be a bit chaotic for you. But you'll get the deal that is best for you, both with the 10 of Pentacles and the Queen of Wands.

This will definitively boost your confidence in yourself and in your work, and will be a - I've heard "a well deserved change" in your life. I'm also feeling that this will also help you step into your north node, your "destiny" per se. This is definitively the path towards your highest self, dear.

Congratulations in advance! ;)

Thank you so much for your request. I wish you all the best!

KD came out as the King of Cups, he might be a water sign or have significant water placements, but this can also mean that he is open emotionally towards you.

He sees you as the Queen of Wands, which came out with the King of Swords but I'm feeling his energy coming from the king, so he's trying to stay rational about how he perceives you.

As for what he feels about you... oh my. The 4 of Wands came out, but also The Devil... the energy I'm getting here is that he feels/sees that you are "marriage material", and he'd love to make you his wife so he could enjoy you "properly". This is getting NSFW, and that's totally not the vibe I was expecting. Since I don't know if you're comfortable or not with this direction, I won't get into it.

We also have The Hermit at the bottom of the deck, so he might be conflicted about his feelings - the deck I was guided to use portrays a woman with her back turned to us walking away while embracing herself, and I'm getting through it that he might feel ashamed of his "lesser desires" for you, maybe he wanted it to be only the pure and innocent thing with the 4 of Wands. I've heard "but he is a man, and he has needs."

With the hermit it does feel like he is pretty much repressing himself about how he feels about you, specially the ones that relate to the devil energy. I don't feel any bad intentions from him towards you though, just "incredible attraction" - in his own words apparently.

Ok, how does he feels when he hears good things about you?

Aww, that is so cute, lol. The 9 of Wands came out and I've heard "he feels like he is missing out."

I asked more cards and they gave me the Queen of Cups and the 2 of Cups. Yeah, I'm getting he definitively sees you like THE match for him. But maybe he doesn't know how to approach you because you two don't know each other well?

To close this reading I'll ask advice from your guides. Ok, we have the Knight of Cups and at the bottom of the deck the Queen of Cups.

I just want to note that you two are actually matching/mirroring energies here; he came out as the King of Cups, you came out as the Queen of Cups when other people talk about you. He came out as the King of Swords when we asked how he sees you, and now we have the Queen of Swords for your energy as advice.

Here your guides are encouraging you to express yourself and make your intentions clear, but in a level headed way. So, this would be finding a way to make acquaintances with him and get to know each other, become friends first and all that. Things will progress naturally between you two, but maybe you'll need to reach out first to get the ball rolling, he probably won't reach out first because he might actually put you on a pedestal, like think you'd never give him a chance.

Maybe there is a mutual friend or an acquaintance that knows both of you and could introduce you two officially? Maybe even a relative?

I'm getting that both your guides are working behind the scenes here, so ask for help and they'll show you the way!

Thank you so much for your ask dear, I hope this was helpful, and sorry for the delay in the response!

Wishing you a great day, and good luck, I'm rooting for you!

-> What are spirit guides?

Spirit guides are disembodied souls (aka, souls that are no longer incarnated on a body) that choose to guide your soul while it is incarnated in a body. Spirit guides are often ancestors and relatives that have passed away, soul family members (which can be different from your bloodline ancestors/relatives), and even "random" souls that want to help you in your soul's evolution for whatever reason.

Spirit guides can also be embodied (incarnated) souls, but these are rarer and often serve a specific purpose for your soul's evolution. The people often labeled "gurus" are examples of embodied spirit guides.

A spirit guide mission is to help your soul's evolution while incarnated, we all know how life on earth can be, so we need not only higher guidance, but protection from the unseen forces that try to derail us from our highest good. This mission also helps them in their own soul's evolution; think of it like tutoring. Most of us on earth are on preschool level (also due to the process of forgetting which we all go through before incarnating), and our spirit guides are on high-school or college.

-> How do spirit guides communicate with us?

Spirit guides communicate with us in a myriad of ways - which are really any way they can find, lol. They often communicate with us telepathically - you know that random thought you had that told you not to go somewhere, or to be careful around someone? Yeah, that's them protecting you. However, most people aren't really aware of their own thoughts, so it makes it difficult for their spirit guides to get messages through - that's why mindfulness and meditation are so important, having a clear mind and knowing which thoughts are your own and which are not, can help you discern their messages.

Because of this, they often use signs, symbols, and synchronicities to draw our attention to what they want to communicate to us - think of it like morse code. You paying attention to those and looking up their meaning is already a big leap in your soul's evolution - with time you'll get better at noticing when they're talking to you, and they'll guide you to the right path (the path for your highest good) if you allow them to do so.

Those of us who are more intuitive (aka, in tune with the astral realm) have an easier time receiving their messages, and we are also often led to divinatory tools, such as tarot and the pendulum, to hone our intuition and receive clearer messages.

They are also able to communicate more directly with us through mediums - highly intuitive channelers who have their extrasensory abilities developed and are often able to see, hear, and even lend their bodies to spirit to facilitate the delivery of important messages. Now, this is a different and advanced rabbit hole, so I won't be getting into this topic here.

-> How can we communicate with our spirit guides?

But how can we communicate with them? Well, that's actually the easier part.

Spirit guides are (usually) evolved souls that vibrate in higher frequencies, this allows them to be able to communicate with us telepathically - yeah, they can read our thoughts (without our explicit permission), literally.

What do you mean "usually evolved souls"?

I mean that even souls that are on lower vibrations can choose to help us in our soul's evolution, for whatever reason - but their reason is usually self-serving, instead of coming from unconditional love and a desire to be one with source (aka God, aka the creative force of the universe). We are also able to communicate telepathically with these entities, but for them to hear/read our thoughts we need to give them our permission, usually all it takes is to engage with them by answering what they're saying. Which is why the most common advice when dealing with lower vibrational entities - usually labeled demons or demonic - is to be aware of your thoughts. In the bible Jesus said to "watch and pray", this means "watch your thoughts and think higher thoughts (pray)" - by doing so, you are keeping yourself in a higher vibration and these entities have no access to you - they'll usually leave you alone after a while because they have no patience to deal with this kind of behavior, lol.

Also, something to note is that in the astral realms, deceit cannot be veiled, so if a spirit/entity is trying to manipulate you, you'll know right away because energy cannot lie.

More practical ways to communicate with your spirit guides are through prayer, which you can do so either mentally or out loud. I know prayer is a term that is usually associated with religion and mantra-like recitation, but prayer is in fact intentional thought. So, yes, I hate to break it down to you if you're religious, but all those people who pray reciting mantras or similar "text based affirmations" are wasting their time if there is no intention behind the words. Prayer IS intention. If you pray by mindlessly reciting words that you don't even know the real meaning behind, that is just you brainwashing yourself.

To close this question, I'll briefly talk about the alternative ways that we can communicate with our spirit guides - these can also be dangerous if not done with the necessary protection - and those are cards, boards, pendulums, runes, etc. Basically the well known divinatory tools, and they can be dangerous because they aren't exclusively tuned to our spirit guides, so any spirit can come through them - trickster spirits, lower beings, entities, dark-side (aka self-serving) deities, demons, etc.

It's also good to note that some divinatory tools - like tarot cards - require an initiation process, those can be extremely difficult to navigate and can, sometimes will, fuck up your life before it gets better (you surviving the "fuck up your life" part is the core of the initiation usually, and the "getting better" is the reward for having survived). It's almost like a cult really, there's no better way to put it; but instead of the common cult image we have here on earth, this is more of a subscription to an "energetic radio station", as my guides put it.

This is it for our first edition! Feel free to reach out if you have questions, I'll answer them to the best of my ability.

How does everyone in your office feels about you overall?

Okay, for the overall energy we got the 7 of Pentacles - I'm feeling that it's still too early and they don't have a formed perspective on you, they're still watching and getting to now you.

I also asked specifically about your supervisors general pov here, and got the Knight of Cups and the 5 of Pentacles in a challenged position. We also have The Chariot at the bottom of the deck. To be honest I'm seeing them as the Knight of Cups, and that they see you as the 5 of Pentacles challenged. It's like they see that you have a "rough" background and might feel insecure about the job, but that you are trying your best to move on from that position. And with The Chariot they also see that you are a determined person, and a fast learner. I'm being drawn to the cup that the Knight of Cups is holding, but I'm seeing it as they extending the cup towards you; so they see your potential and hope they can help you grow into it.

After asking permission to read their individual perspectives on you, I got basically the same answer; CC is still getting to know you so they are unsure of how they feel about you, and KF didn't want to share their individual perspective.

2. What your group of friends at work think of you?

Ok, your group of friends is very closed off and didn't want to share their thoughts. However, they agreed to answer the other question, and yes, there is at least one of them who has romantic feelings towards you since I got the Knight of Cups again. But, other cards also came out, I'm not sure if this is their general concensus on the matter or if this is advice from your higher-self and spirit guides - I'll clarify that in a moment.

The cards that came out where: The Hanged Man, 8 of Pentacles, and 7 of Swords. Bottom of the deck is the 7 of cups. So, it seems that they think it's a bad idea to get involved romantically with someone from work, while asking this question I kept hearing "office romance is a bad idea" and " it never ends well." So even if there is someone who is attracted to you romantically, they won't act on it because their work is more important to them. It does seem that they might daydream about it though, ngl.

I asked for a clarification and it seems that each card is actually both your spirit guides advice and also the energy of each person in your work friend group has towards you. So, someone does has feelings with the Knight of Cups, another doesn't with The Hanged Man probably because they feel you two are too different, a third is too focused on their work with the 8 of Pentacles, and the last is "holding their cards close to their chest" with the 7 of Swords.

Now, I wanted to clarify further due to some energy I was picking up, so I used the pendulum. And, what I got so far it's correct. Also, you spirit guides want you to know that the person represented through the 7 of Swords might be a bit sneaky, so please don't be so trusting with them. Of course it's kind of hard to know who is who, however your guides will show you signs about this person, so pay attention and don't ignore them or brush them off as coincidence.

To close this reading I want to pull a card from an oracle deck - but your guides made me pull one from two different decks, lol. Here are the cards below:

PS: for some reason they wanted me to take a picture of the cards on top of my keyboard.

Thank you for your ask, dear! I hope this was helpful, and sorry for taking so long to answer. Have a wonderful day.
