Seems fitting that my draw for the new year is the upright Wheel of Fortune!
What does this mean?
This card is about luck, change, and fortune. The wheel symbolizes life is always changing – if you’re going through a rough patch, remember that it will end! Good luck and fortune will come in time. “This cycle shows why it is so important to cherish the blissful moments in your life and make the most of them while they are within reach – because in a flash they could be gone.” (Biddy Tarot) However, even when in a period of good fortune, life will return to normal. It also reminds us that karma comes back always, don’t forget it!

The best time to harvest is on a warm, sunny day, just after the dew has dried and just before the flowers form. But you can harvest basil as you need it.
Harvest by pinching off leaves as needed once the plant is strong enough to handle it. If taking a large harvest, leave at least two shoots intact. It will grow back in a few weeks.
Hang upside in bunches or lay flat on a drying rack to dry. Ensure proper ventilation to reduce the chance of mold. Store in an airtight container away from heat or light for up to one year. The flavor of dried basil is not as good as fresh basil.
Basil helps steady the mind, brings happiness, love, peace, and money and protects against insanity.
Use basil in spells to attract love and in preparation for astral projection or to bring luck in physical journeys.
Carrying a leaf in your pocket or wallet will attract money.
Keep a bit of basil in each room to protect the home and family. To protect you when leaving the house, rub some basil on your forehead.
Also used in peacemaking spells and to make up after a fight.

SCORPIO: DEATH—new beginnings after times of continuously hanging on to things that no longer served them, open minded towards life changes and new lessons, always growing and moving on, scary and intimidating

Hello everyone, welcome back! I haven’t posted in a while, but I’m finally back. How is everyone doing? This post will be about: Taurus Venus and it’s compatibility with other Venus signs. Without further ado, let’s get to it! Please note that these can be influenced by other placements, so do not get upset if they don’t exactly apply. Any relationship can work out if time and effort is put in.
ₓ˚. ୭ ˚○◦˚.˚◦○˚ ୧ .˚ₓ
Taurus VenusandAries Venus: Aries Venus and Taurus Venus: The difference between Aries and Taurus Venus is that Aries Venus prefers to proceed faster but Taurus Venus prefers to take it slow. The good thing here is that both Venuses balance each other out. However, the Taurus Venus could want Aries Venus to be calmer and more patient at times. The Taurus Venus can charm the Aries Venus well, and show them how to do things slowly. Aries Venus likes taking risks, whereas the Taurus Venus prefers to be steady and stable. Both can be pretty stubborn too, and might be pretty selfish if undeveloped. This pairing is not very similar, but if played correctly there can be a good amount of attraction and passion.
ₓ˚. ୭ ˚○◦˚.˚◦○˚ ୧ .˚ₓ
Taurus VenusandTaurus Venus:Both people can be really patient with each other, there’s no rush here. Lots of sensuality. Since they are the same Venus sign, they are likely to agree on how to manage their finances and home decor (should they decide to cohabit). Their love language would almost definitely include physical intimacy / touch. However there might be clashes of will as both can be quite stubborn in nature. Taurus Venuses can have a tendency to be passive as well, so there could also be problems with who makes a move first, and the relationship might be stuck in ruts often.
ₓ˚. ୭ ˚○◦˚.˚◦○˚ ୧ .˚ₓ
Taurus VenusandGemini Venus:This pairing could be attracted to each other due to the large difference in their love styles. However, this might not be the best match for the Taurus Venus. For one, the Gemini Venus is often playful and shows their love through meaningful conversations, shared interests and teasing, while the Taurus Venus does not place too much importance on those and might want to focus more on the stability of the relationship. The Gemini Venus is prone to mood swings which the Taurus Venus might not understand as well. Lastly, the Gemini Venus might also dislike the Taurus Venus’s dislike for change. Therefore, this is a complicated pairing that could need a lot of work to be fruitful.
ₓ˚. ୭ ˚○◦˚.˚◦○˚ ୧ .˚ₓ
Taurus VenusandCancer Venus:This is a good match for the Taurus Venus since Taurus and Cancer can be very home-oriented in a sense and both need a certain degree of stability and security in a relationship for it to work. Together, this pairing will enjoy a good home life. This pairing usually lasts long as both signs are often in it till the end and can be very committed. Still, every relationship has its downsides and for this particular pairing, there are two notable ones. Firstly, the Cancer Venus is not very direct with their feelings or might need some prompting before they can open up which the Taurus Venus might not know how to do or respond to this.
ₓ˚. ୭ ˚○◦˚.˚◦○˚ ୧ .˚ₓ
Taurus Venus and Leo Venus: To me, this match is honestly a 50/50. Both Taurus and Leo are fixed signs, and thus can be very loyal to each other. If well aspected, the relationship has the potential to be a long-lasting and a very stable one. Nonetheless, there may be friction between them due to how stubborn they can be too. This pairing could enjoy material goods together, in the sense that the both of them have a good eye for virtuosities and the arts. As such, they could spend their finances quite freely. This allows them to bond via activities like shopping, going to museums, and the like. Unless other placements indicate otherwise, this pair may also be very physically affectionate with each other.

I hope you all gained some insight from this post, have a good day!

THANK YOU!!! please like and reblog if anything resonated. love to all <3
(photo of cards at bottom. click for clearer image)
PILE ONE
seven of swords, nine of cups
you could be running away from your true feelings about a situation. maybe you should be avoiding something, but you’re blinded to the warning signs and red flags. there is likely deceptive, dishonest energy surrounding you and putting you off. for some, you may feel you are undeserving off the blessings you have and are subconsciously hiding away your joy and light.
PILE TWO
three of wands, the empress
something has happened in your life to convince you that you don’t deserve to, or are unable to dream big and have faith in those goals. you’re powerful - when you put your mind to it and can envision it, you can create it in your own life. you just need to believe in yourself so you can be truely aligned with your desires. doubts and fears (sometimes even waiting) can weigh us down and prevent us from manifesting to our true potential.
PILE THREE
eight of cups, three of pentacles
what you’re hiding from yourself are the inner parts of yourself, or more accurately you’re preventing yourself from uncovering your higher self’s wisdom and knowledge. no matter what has caused your fears, you do not want to spend time away from others to look into yourself and reflect on what you already know deep down. maybe if you’re scared of feeling alone, you need to work on yourself while still having the support, reassurance and care from friends or family.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!! please like and reblog if anything resonated :)
what EMOTIONAL BLOCKS should you CURRENTLY WORK ON?
✨(pick a pile tarot reading)✨
disclaimer: PLEASE TAKE WHAT RESONATES, AND LEAVE WHAT DOESN’T. I believe that every card is pulled for a reason, however this is my personal interpretation of them and it may not be fully resonating and accurate for every person.
PILE 1:
page of wands
you mind may be full of ideas and inspiration, you could even feel a calling whether that’s for a career path or a spiritual path, but you may lack the courage to take the steps in these directions. you have a curious mind with endless potential and excitement for the possibilities, but your fear gets in your way. you do have the bravery within you leave your comfort zone and take action, you just need to believe it’s there. know that you can make anything happen.
PILE 2:
three of cups
you may have some kind of block relating your social life. perhaps this was a disagreement with a friend or family member, even a misunderstand or miscommunication. it’s likely affected your connections in some way. you could benefit from embracing energy of community and gatherings. if you have been avoiding events because of a conflict, you may actually need to attend in order for it to be resolved. either way, act maturely and accept peace and harmony into your life.
PILE 3:
ten of pentacles
you likely have a block in the area of finances and money. this doesn’t mean you aren’t wealthy now, or can’t be in the future. it just suggests that you may have some limiting beliefs that are preventing you from reaching your true potential in education and career. maybe you don’t believe you are worthy or able to achieve your goals - but you are. realise this. catch any negative thought patterns you have relating to financial security and stability, and flip them to the positive. change your thoughts and your whole reality will change too.

Credit where credit is due- The wild unknown tarot guidebook written by kim krans
I was going to upload a daily tarot as much as I could remember but it looks like I won’t be doing that, but I will be posting lots of spreads like the year spread and the new moon spread.
Now, what’s with all the tarot?
So basically, I’m focusing on tarot at the moment and concentrating on learning to read the cards without having to refer to a book. I’d love to do intuitive readings as well but I need to better connect with the cards and get to know them more before I can do that properly. So that’s my focus currently, I’ll be posting other stuff too, just less of it. I’m doing a ritual soon with my moon water from this last full moon, I’ll post about that, I’m gonna attempt a sort of anti-anxiety charm vial whenever I can get some vials, and I’ll post that too, but it’ll mostly be tarot. Might also do some information type posts about Tyr, Loki, Thor, and maybe some others, but again, not for a while as I’m focusing on tarot.
Ok, so, I don’t have my own tarot deck because I’m broke (I’m gonna get one soon, I actually have enough money atm) BUT I have a tarot app called Golden Thread Tarot that does tarot readings, so I’m going to screenshot my daily readings and post them here! I hope y'all… appreciate it? I don’t know. Also, the app is rly good and I would deffinatly recommend it. (There’s also an actual deck of the deck in the app that you can buy, I want it. It’s beautiful.)
Today’s chard is the IV of Wands!
Considering that it’s the card of the home, it’s very fitting as I’ve really enjoyed being at home lately. Feeling very homely. And wholesome. All that.
The deck designed by Emerson Barrett of Palaye Royale arrived!!
It took a while because it was imported from the USA to Scotland, I missed the delivery last Wednesday, it was rescheduled to arrive on friday, but it didn’t, then it was rescheduled again again a arrived on Tuesday, but that’s ok.
Ok. The deck. Its stunning. The packaging is a red box, with a top that folds over and seals with magnets
The cards themselves are gold edged (which looks amazing) and have glitter. The glitter comes off on your hands at first, but when I was looking at them last night, there was no glitter left of my hands, so I think all the excess glitter had come off by that point. The cards were all quite stuck together at first, by I think it was just due to edging sticking and after shuffling them, they move and shuffle as smoothly as a deck that was never stuck in the first place (and separating the cards was pretty satisfying), although while they don’t stick, shuffling is still a little tricky with these cards due to the edge being slightly tacky (I would assume that the use of glitter requires some kind of glue or glue like paint) and the cards being of thick cardstock. The cardstock does mean that the cards are good quality a durable though, which is good.
There’s the original 78 and there’s 50+ (52, I think) original cards. Half of which serve as art cards, the other half are also intended as art cards (I think) but can actually function as a a mini Oracle deck, because they’re all named in a similar manner to Oracle decks. They could also be added to the deck to be used as extra major arcana cards.
The designs are beautiful, although some of them are a little tricky to read. If you are already very familiar with the standard Rider Waite deck, then it isn’t difficult to read, but I wouldn’t recommend this as a first deck, as it doesn’t have any kind of guide book or leaflet to say what each card means. The the cards predominantly use a colour scheme of black white and red, witch splashes of other colours. I split deck into light decks and dark deck, usually depending on border colour and and general colour scheme, and I would consider this one a dark/black deck.
I’ve only done 2 reading with this deck so far, one before I cleansed it and one after. Before I cleansed the deck, it was full of all kinds of bad mojo, but after one simple cleansing and getting to know the deck, the bad mojo is completely gone.
Do you know what makes me mad? Is that everyone expects to get readings for free. I’m good at what I do and the services I provide are well worth the money I charge for them. Yet I am expected to give it away for free. I’ve literally only had three chicken nuggets for dinner because I cannot afford to buy food. Think about that before deciding that a persons valuable time, talent and effort should be given away for free
