Astrology, Witchcraft and Tarot Cards.

I'm a Marxist. At least I think I still am. Which means you have to be atheist. Otherwise it really fucks everything up thinking there is some divine plan outside of everyone's control.

That being said. I grew up around astrologers -- my aunt being one that was paid quite a bit for "readings."

Scientists say that it works by "open association." The explanation behind the various signs you have (you have a lot more than 1 in your "chart") are so broad that they can be applied to almost anyone. When they can't be -- they can be explained away by contradicting signs you have in your chart.

So this all might be very fake and kind of Jewy (the three wise men were astrologers), but I still find it interesting sometimes. Particularly since most of your actual existence in the world is made up of thought patterns and ideas that might not even be correct.

the hang up a lot of people have is they need to know their birth location and time.
If you're bored I can tell you what I think it means.

Again, its all most likely bullshit anyway. But you'd be surprised how many millionaires and billionaires are into this stuff.

google liberation theology and i'll consider reading the whole post

All those people are completely missing the piece where you need to drop that shit and unify people regardless of their cultural background. Rather, they proselytize and preach. Therefore, people reject the logical foundations of Marxism along with the less logical religious bit.

Liberation theology only works in a non evangelical environment for converting existing Christians to more leftwing politics.

Edit: You know you're soooo god damn cleaver poke. I can just see that condescending little grin right now. Did you even consider that maybe I was trolling you on that prison population post? If it was up to me id just roll up these newspapers I have around my house and smack that smile right off your face.

it's all kinda vague nonsense that lets you read whatever you want to believe about yourself. the same test told me i was "decisive and unwavering once comitted" then two paragraphs later told me i "lacked focus and indecisive, feeling a tug from the other side of the coin". tells me i have a "disdain for routine" but "respect tradition and rules, preferring a sense of order"

it's just a bunch of fluff conflicting statements that ultimately say nothing and let the reader believe what they want. if you find solace in it, great, but there's better stuff to get into, like, y'know... philosophy or whatever wonkie was peddling

It doesn't screw it up. Plenty of faiths fundamentally support some forms of alms or tithing. And are socialistic in nature. Though the priesthood isn't necessarily elected by the proletariat. To benefit the proletariat.

Symbols are important. The Persians as “three wise men” is vastly superior to them as astrologers. Please learn to read

[JurisDictum]

A quick cliff notes thing:

Rising sign (ASC or ascendant) is your outword personality

Sun sign (the one they always talk about that changes once a month) is your inner nature

Moon sign is your emotional nature

Mercury is your intellect and communication

Venus is your appreciation for beauty and love (the kind of women your into as well)

Mars is your drive and ambition (and the type of guys your into)

Jupiter is where your luck is essentially.

The rest of the planets are considered more generational than personal.

On top of what "sign" something is, there is what "house" something is.

1st house is body and individual

2nd is property and possession

3rd is communication

4th is home and family

5th is romance and children

6th is health and service

7th is relationships

8th is shared resources, sex, and death

9th is travel and philosophy

10th is career

11th is social groups

12th is secrets and visionary typ energy (whatever that means)

So feel free to cite an example of why a certain planet or house position is like you or completely not like you. I mean if your so damn convinced there is zero to it.

[clevergirl]

Mine says I should be a writer. I feel like that is definitely a strength. And it pretty much says I have great wisdom across the board. But that i am insane and prone to obsession and frivolity, especially when I ignore my own wisdom and needs.

Little known fact: The magi weren't Persian, they were Armenian. Given their copious use of Drakkar Noir, it's a common mistake many make. But the Bible clearly states they all three drove separately to Bethlehem in low mileage used BMW 5 series sedans with way too many layers of clear coat. So yeah, Armenians.

“12th is secrets and visionary typ energy (whatever that means)”

That was most interesting to me so I checked this one out first and... well shit...

http://astroarena12.blogspot.com/2016/01/saturn-in-12th-house-accepting-aloneness.html?m=1

Okie that’s depressingly accurate. Long post but...

The 12th House isn’t called the “house of isolation” for nothing. But, as I’ve said a few times before, let’s not limit it to prisons, asylums, hospitals, and monasteries. That’s how they classified the 12th House in the olden days, when it got labeled by traditional astrologers as the gloomiest, scariest house. Keep in mind, though, even though I’m not a fatalistic astrologer, I do think that the 12th House is quite possibly the scariest house in the birth chart, alongside the 8th House. It’s not because it’s a “bad” house but because it represents the thing human beings are taught to fear: aloneness. So, having Saturn in your 12th House can feel like a burden, if you let it feel that way.

A lot of times the types of men you are attracted to are related to your mars sign while the types of women you are attracted to is related to where your venus is at. With men it would seem like you like scorpio types (Deep, sensitive, sexual, assertive in a tactical/strategic way) with self-confidence and developed bodies (first house characteristics). With women it is Aris in the 5th. Which is a very fiery and romantic combination. Also these women would be very lively and strong.

Having Uranus in the first house, especially on the ascendant is associated with being trans -- its amazing how often I see that in trans.

All your heavy challenging planets are stacked in 7th. The relationship house. You have pluto saturn there. I would predict losing people to death TBH.

The good news is jupiter in the 2nd indicates fortune and material abundance. It goes well with mars being on your ascendant which gives a driven and ambitions disposition. Although it probably also indicates a combative personality.

That with the 7th house stuff probably indicates a lot of turmoil in relationships. Especially since capricorn moon can be associated with cutting off emotions and turning cold. Its not just hitler that had capricorn moon keep in mind. It was like Washington, Lincoln, Jefferson. In general its a kind of careerist/statsmen like moon that is prone to feeling secure when their career is doing well.

Mercury (communication/connections) in the 6th isn't bad for the health field I might add. Your northnode (destiny) is in gemini which is actually a more technical/intellectual style however.

Its kind of a busy day so I might get to more later.

Thank you, JD! Some of that hit me in the feels pretty hard.

[JurisDictum]

Just to double down on something I said after a second look here. Your real work in this lifetime is supposed to be with relationships/partnerships. The part that is naturally should come to you is the career development and owning stuff.

You can also link aspects. Trines/conjunctions are the harmonious ones and squares/oppositions are the difficult ones.

Magic think this all maybe...but if you take a look at what passes for "politics" these days, I feel relatively unembarrassed talking about this.

[Cecily]

Yeah I noticed that ;)

So I looked into Gemini north node and I’m excited if that’s my destiny: becoming a better and better communicator, talking to as many people as possible, being truthful, and learning everything I can while examining it from all perspectives up to and including the point where I’m a hypocrite (shoutout to TERF Whitney), then teaching what I’ve learned. That’s a badass destiny.

Those are all quirks I don’t consider widely applicable to everyone, but all those are things I do and strive for. I think can still fit them nicely with the medical field — educator is one of my career goals, too.

I’ve been trying to figure out what my Saturn / Pluto in 12th mean together and that’s a pain to do. Both kinda scary individually. Those are my Akira psychic powers or something + karmic debt?

[FatherSioux]

It seems Western cultures have turned the focus on rational thought and have largely ignored the intuition side of life. I'm trying to divert some of my energy to exploring the spiritual and intuitive side of life. It's easy to see the flaws of an overly rational being, the same can be said for overly spiritual being. My hope is to strike a balance.

[Cecily]

^ I’m very well grounded in rationality, I think, but I also have what seems to be unusual sensitivity to the experiences of other people, usually negative emotion. Like feel what you feel.. I’ve broken down crying with people, often, when they share a painful story because I’m there feeling the whole thing with them. You talk to some interesting people at a gas off the highway between a few states.

One women escaped from a cult. She seemed troubled/inbriated and I come to find out her son has her newly on pot instead of her psych meds. Poor woman was so damaged by the brain washing of that cult, but I think her life only improving from what I could tell when I was talking to her. She shared some very private stuff with me and stopped midway through the conversation and told me I don’t know why I’m saying all this but there just seems to be something special about you.

Another women was a survivor/witness of the Kent State Massacre (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kent_State_shootings). This the was hardest story I’ve heard in my life and I wish I could remember it better. I just remember the emotion and that this lady was wounded to her soul and needed me to hear her story.

Yet another woman, absolutely beautiful, asked if she could join me smoking, and told me she used to be a con and now she’s working for the feds. She actually just listened to me and told me that as she was leaving and wished me luck getting to California, but she was so pretty and cool, and I wanna work for the Feds so I can be, too.

Met a Hell’s Angel, which was interesting in and of itself because we were in Pagan territory, and I could feel the evil coming off this guy before he told me that, after I severely botched some small talk:

Guy is grumbling about something. Ha, sounds like you need a vacation. I’m a Hells Angel. We don’t get a vacation. Oh, wow, is that fun? (Please murder me). Dude gets right up in my face and asks me if I could kill someone. I thought a moment and said no, no I suppose I couldn’t. Then, no, it isn’t fucking fun.

This is more like tales from redneck gas stations than I think I’m an empath now so I’m just gonna leave it at I think pursuing spiritual growth is something that might actually be dumb for me to pass up, because I suspect have natural talents there and I want to strengthen them.

[Cecily]

Rationally, I’m mostly just curious what’s it’s like on the other side. I think it’s important for me spiritually, too.

[JurisDictum]

I know Saturn/Pluto in the 12th sometimes is about hidden enemies. It is the house of secrets, visions, and spirituality generally. It might be about a kind of spiritual blockage or intensity getting in the way of surrendering. It would also indicate that you have spiritual work to do on yourself over your life -- and that it is difficult/intense.

[Cecily]

At least someone did.

Some of the stuff my friend gave me last night. She was asking me if I felt an affinity for the the new deck she opened and passed it to me. I thought they were really pretty, but she grilled me if I just thought they were pretty or... 3 cards slipped out of my hands and onto the ground. The only one face up was XIV Temperance, my favorite card. So yeah... this deck was meant for me.

The two face down were XIII Transition (Death) and XII The Hanged Man. Yes all of these cards would have been together in the deck, but they are all super relevant to my life atm and it’s interesting those three chose to fall together.

I was shuffling my tarot cards and considered whether to draw a card of the day. Immediately after, I see the 3 of swords face up in the middle of the deck. I didn’t put you in like that... So I take out the card and look up its meaning. I decided pain, suffering, and heartbreak sounded scary, so maybe this wasn’t the theme of the day after all. I put it back in the deck and shuffled several more times.

I flip through my book of tarot spreads and see a neat 2 card spread I haven’t done before: Letting Go in Order to Gain. That sounds interesting.

[1] [2]

1. What I will let go of.
2. What I will gain (accomplish, realize).

https://i.imgur.com/UOk5Psg.jpg

3 of swords (https://www.biddytarot.com/tarot-card-meanings/minor-arcana/suit-of-swords/three-of-swords/) again... That’s my card of the day alright. Luckily it’s reversed. Ace of swords (https://www.biddytarot.com/tarot-card-meanings/minor-arcana/suit-of-swords/ace-of-swords/), too. This is kind of a badass reading:

1. Letting go of pain and suffering. Power of the past diminishing?
2. Inspiration, creativity, and clarity. On the verge of intellectual breakthroughs. Power in the present increasing?

This is what the website says I should do until I pay them more money:


Strategic


Take the time to fully reflect or muse about a goal that you want to achieve until the related patterns and issues emerge for you. Remember that this musing time is essential to strategic thinking.

You can see repercussions more clearly than others can. Take advantage of this ability by planning your range of responses in detail. There is little point in knowing where events will lead if you are not ready when you get there.

Find a group that you think does important work, and contribute your strategic thinking. You can be a leader with your ideas.

Your strategic thinking will be necessary to keep a vivid vision from deteriorating into an ordinary pipe dream. Fully consider all possible paths toward making the vision a reality. Wise forethought can remove obstacles before they appear.

Make yourself known as a resource for consultation with those who are stumped by a particular problem or hindered by a particular obstacle or barrier. By naturally seeing a way when others are convinced there is no way, you will lead them to success.

You are likely to anticipate potential issues more easily than others. Though your awareness of possible danger might be viewed as negativity by some, you must share your insights if you are going to avoid these pitfalls. To prevent misperception of your intent, point out not only the future obstacle, but also a way to prevent or overcome it. Trust your insights, and use them to ensure the success of your efforts.

Help others understand that your strategic thinking is not an attempt to belittle their ideas, but is instead a natural propensity to consider all the facets of a plan objectively. Rather than being a naysayer, you are actually trying to examine ways to ensure that the goal is accomplished, come what may. Your talents will allow you to consider others’ perspectives while keeping your end goal in sight.

Trust your intuitive insights as often as possible. Even though you might not be able to explain them rationally, your intuitions are created by a brain that instinctively anticipates and projects. Have confidence in these perceptions.

Partner with someone with strong Activator talents. With this person’s need for action and your need for anticipation, you can forge a powerful partnership.

Make sure that you are involved in the front end of new initiatives or enterprises. Your innovative yet procedural approach will be critical to the genesis of a new venture because it will keep its creators from developing deadly tunnel vision.


Ideation


Seek a career in which you will be given credit for and paid for your ideas, such as marketing, advertising, journalism, design, or new product development.

You are likely to get bored quickly, so make some small changes in your work or home life. Experiment. Play mental games with yourself. All of these will help keep you stimulated.

Finish your thoughts and ideas before communicating them. Lacking your Ideation talents, others might not be able to “join the dots” of an interesting but incomplete idea and thus might dismiss it.

Not all your ideas will be equally practical or serviceable. Learn to edit your ideas, or find a trusted friend or colleague who can “proof” your ideas and identify potential pitfalls.

Understand the fuel for your Ideation talents: When do you get your best ideas? When you’re talking with people? When you’re reading? When you’re simply listening or observing? Take note of the circumstances that seem to produce your best ideas, and recreate them.

Schedule time to read, because the ideas and experiences of others can become your raw material for new ideas. Schedule time to think, because thinking energizes you.

You are a natural fit with research and development; you appreciate the mindset of visionaries and dreamers. Spend time with imaginative peers, and sit in on their brainstorming sessions.

Partner with someone with strong Analytical talents. This person will question you and challenge you, therefore strengthening your ideas.

Sometimes you lose others’ interest because they cannot follow your abstract and conceptual thinking style. Make your ideas more concrete by drawing pictures, using analogies or metaphors, or simply explaining your concepts step by step.

Feed your Ideation talents by gathering knowledge. Study fields and industries different from your own. Apply ideas from outside, and link disparate ideas to generate new ones.


Intellection


Consider beginning or continuing your studies in philosophy, literature, or psychology. You will always enjoy subjects that stimulate your thinking.

List your ideas in a log or diary. These ideas will serve as grist for your mental mill, and they might yield valuable insights.

Deliberately build relationships with people you consider to be “big thinkers.” Their example will inspire you to focus your own thinking.

People may think you are aloof or disengaged when you close your door or spend time alone. Help them understand that this is simply a reflection of your thinking style, and that it results not from a disregard for relationships, but from a desire to bring the most you can to those relationships.

You are at your best when you have the time to follow an intellectual trail and see where it leads. Get involved on the front end of projects and initiatives, rather than jumping in at the execution stage. If you join in the latter stages, you may derail what has already been decided, and your insights may come too late.

Engaging people in intellectual and philosophical debate is one way that you make sense of things. This is not the case for everyone. Be sure to channel your provocative questions to those who similarly enjoy the give and take of debate.

Schedule time for thinking; it can be energizing for you. Use these occasions to muse and reflect.

Take time to write. Writing might be the best way for you to crystallize and integrate your thoughts.

Find people who like to talk about the same issues you do. Organize a discussion group that addresses your subjects of interest.

Encourage people around you to use their full intellectual capital by reframing questions for them and by engaging them in dialogue. At the same time, realize that there will be some who find this intimidating and who need time to reflect before being put on the spot.


Learner


Refine how you learn. For example, you might learn best by teaching; if so, seek out opportunities to present to others. You might learn best through quiet reflection; if so, find this quiet time.

Develop ways to track the progress of your learning. If there are distinct levels or stages of learning within a discipline or skill, take a moment to celebrate your progression from one level to the next. If no such levels exist, create them for yourself (e.g., reading five books on the subject or making three presentations on the subject).

Be a catalyst for change. Others might be intimidated by new rules, new skills, or new circumstances. Your willingness to soak up this newness can calm their fears and spur them to action. Take this responsibility seriously.

Seek roles that require some form of technical competence. You will enjoy the process of acquiring and maintaining this expertise.

As far as possible, shift your career toward a field with constantly changing technologies or regulations. You will be energized by the challenge of keeping up.

Because you are not threatened by unfamiliar information, you might excel in a consulting role (either internal or external) in which you are paid to go into new situations and pick up new competencies or languages quickly.

Research supports the link between learning and performance. When people have the opportunity to learn and grow, they are more productive and loyal. Look for ways to measure the degree to which you and others feel that your learning needs are being met, to create individualized learning milestones, and to reward achievements in learning.

At work, take advantage of programs that subsidize your learning. Your organization may be willing to pay for part or all of your instructional coursework or for certifications. Ask your manager for information about scholarships and other educational opportunities.

Honor your desire to learn. Take advantage of adult educational opportunities in your community. Discipline yourself to sign up for at least one new academic or adult learning course each year.

Time disappears and your attention intensifies when you are immersed in studying or learning. Allow yourself to “follow the trail” by scheduling learning sessions during periods of time that will not be interrupted by pressing engagements.


Restorative


Seek roles in which you are paid to solve problems or in which your success depends on your ability to restore and resolve. You might particularly enjoy roles in medicine, consulting, computer programming, or customer service.

Don’t be afraid to let others know that you enjoy fixing problems. It comes naturally to you, but many people shy away from problems. You can help.

Give yourself a break. Your Restorative talents might lead you to be overly self-critical. Try to redirect this either toward things about yourself that can be fixed, such as knowledge or skill deficits, or toward external, tangible problems.

Let other people solve their own problems. You might want to rush in and solve things for them, but by doing that, you might hinder their learning. Watch out for this, particularly if you are in a manager, coach, teacher, or parent role.

Turnaround situations activate your natural forté. Use your Restorative talents to devise a plan of attack to revitalize a flagging project, organization, business, or team.

Leverage your Restorative talents not only to tackle existing problems, but also to anticipate and prevent problems before they occur. Share your foresight and your solutions with others, and you will prove yourself a valuable partner.

Study your chosen subject closely to become adept at identifying what causes certain problems to recur. This sort of expertise will lead you to the solution that much faster.

Think about ways you can improve your skills and knowledge. Identify any gaps you have and the courses you can take to fill them.

Constant improvement is one of your hallmarks. Seek opportunities to enhance your abilities through a demanding field, activity, or endeavor that requires exceptional skill and/or knowledge.

Use your Restorative talents to think of ways to “problem proof” your work. Identify existing and potential issues, and design systems or processes to prevent errors in the future.

Religion and faith is the business of everyone ... not everyone can learn the highest degree of enlightenment! But the one who believes does not limit himself and does not lose anything from it! And atheists put themselves in the minds of the frame.

I’m less into this stuff as of late, but I had fun scratching at the surface of mankind’s collective occult history. Chaos magic was definitely my style. The idea being that magic works on a certain set of principles and you can strip down any methodology into workable parts and ignore the rest of the dogma (my approach to self-medication tbh). Which was good because there’s a lot of garbage. Crowley and Wicca are way too cringey to touch.

Energy work seems appealing, and I think that’s most definitely worth pursuing further for personal sanity reasons. Tarot is a lot of fun as well. Sigils are stupid low effort for the supposed power they have.

Yeah, this was a good diversion for a few months. I connected so many ideas and gained some real insight into things I was interested in as a child, but didn’t get. Best thing is this got me back into Jung and ultimately interested in psychology again.

This is very useful information for me. I think it will come in handy in the future. Thank you very much!

Give out my D.O.B. and city of birth over the internet? Sounds like a great idea.

[Cecily]

I did that twice today. I’m more open to the experience because I know the universe doesn’t give a shit about my existence.

Has anyone on p99 had success in summoning demons?

[Cecily]

I don’t bother with anything angel/demon related because associations with Christianity. They’re just symbols of a concept, as I understand it, and you use those symbols to channel the energy of that concept, so why not just go straight to the energy and cut out the middleman? Nothing is real. Everything is permitted.

[Cecily]

My studies will ultimately confirm whether science works or not, yes.

not really. magical thinking is selfconfirming. people don't believe in this stuff because they are dumb. they believe it because our brains are dumb.

hope this helps!
