me when I compulsively step on the scale in the evening, fully dressed, constipated, with wet hair, having downed a full meal and a bottle of water less than an hour ago.
The major arcana

⭐︎ Cleanse your deck after you buy it!! This is so so important, because you want to start working with a new clean energy.
⭐︎ There are thousands of ways to cleanse your deck. Cleansing can be something super simple, as just knocking on your deck 3 times or placing a crystal on top of the deck! Just do what feels right.
⭐︎ Interview your deck! After you buy new cards, talk to them, ask them questions and figure out the decks personality. There are a lot of fun spreads for this.
⭐︎ Sleep with your deck. Another good way to bond with your deck is sleeping with it near you. Just put it under your pillow or somewhere close to you over night!
⭐︎ You don’t have to read reversals. It’s up to you if you decide to turn the card back around. Again, do what feels right!
⭐︎ Reversals don’t always equal opposites. If you decide to read reversals, remember that it can have completely different meaning then just being opposite of the upright position.
⭐︎ Start simple. Start out with something simple like past/present/future spread. It’s super easy and gives you clarity on any situation.
⭐︎ Spend time looking at the picture. When you pull a card, really spend time observing at all the different colors and symbols before you look up the meaning.
⭐︎ Jumping cards usually have something important to tell you. If you’re shuffling your deck and a card jumps out, look up what it means and what message it has for you!
⭐︎ Pull a daily card each morning. This is super fun and easy. You definitely don’t need to do this everyday, but it’s a good way to memorize the cards and their meanings.
and finally, practice, practice and practice! It’s going to take a while until you remember all the meanings, but just have fun and enjoy the process!🦋

Each planet rules one or more signs. Planets are also classified according to their essential dignities, or strengths. In total, five states of a planet are possible: rulership, detriment, exaltation, fall, and peregrine. In some signs, a planet is able to project itself without hindrance, since it functions in a field harmonious to its own nature. This is called rulership. When the planet is in the sign it rules, it is said to be dignified because it is powerful in its own sign, and can thus express itself freely and totally. Exaltation denotes a sign in which a planet is especially strong. When a planet is in a sign that is an opposing sign to its rulership or exaltation it is said to be debilitated, because the planet is at its weakest due to its hindered expression. Planets in opposite signs to the signs which they rule are in their detriment, and signs in their fall are the signs that are opposite its exaltation. The fifth state is referred to as peregrine, meaning that a planet is in none of the previous four states. Here is the breakdown of the rulerships, dignities, and debilities of the signs and planets.
The Sun rules the sign of Leo, and is said to be exalted, or especially strong, in the sign of Aries. Its themes of identity and self-expression are a more challenging fit for the signs of Aquarius (detriment), and Libra (fall) which feels most itself in a group, instead of standing on their own.
The Moon is symbolically connected to the compassionate, spiritually sensitive, emotionally deep sign of Cancer, and informs that powerful sign’s domesticity and protective instincts. The Moon is exalted, or especially strong, in the sign of Taurus, which lends stability to the Moon’s fluctuations and moods. It’s in its detriment in Capricorn, a sign whose worldliness is at odds with the Moon’s domestic nature. And the Moon is in its fall in Scorpio, where it can symbolize suspicion and mistrust.
Mercury is most comfortable in the signs of Gemini and Virgo (which rules both signs), and Aquarius (where it’s exalted). Mercury has a more difficult job expressing itself in Sagittarius and Pisces (detriment), which prefer to focus on the big picture rather than the details and trivia that delight Mercury. Its fall is in the sign of Leo, since Mercury’s perceptions tend to be overly subjective and melodramatic, causing the press agent to believe their own hype.
Venus is happiest in the signs of its rulership, Taurus and Libra, where it feels prosperous and beautiful, and loving Pisces, the sign of her exaltation, a sign where companionship and love is championed. Venus has a harder time expressing beauty and harmony in the tough-edged and militaristic signs of Scorpio and Aries (detriment) and in analytical and hardworking Virgo (fall).
Mars rules the sign of Aries, and along with Pluto is the co-ruler of Scorpio. Mars is exalted, or especially strong, in the sign of Capricorn, which provides discipline, focus, and structure to Mars’ raw energy. Mars’ themes of individualism and open aggression are a difficult fit for the polite, partnership-oriented sign of Libra (detriment); and Cancer (fall), which values collectivism and prefers an indirect approach to settling disagreements.
Jupiter rules Sagittarius and is exalted, or especially strong, in the sign of Cancer; that sign’s domestic, family-oriented symbolism provides much-needed roots and emotional ballast for Jupiter. Jupiter’s themes of optimism, exploration, and big-picture thinking are not an easy fit for Gemini (detriment), a sign that is too rational to be optimistic and prefers to observe and describe the present rather than envision the future; or for serious, conservative, pragmatic Capricorn (sign of its fall).
Saturn rules the sign of Capricorn. It’s exalted, or especially strong, in the sign of Libra, which offers a keen appreciation for how our decisions and ambitions affect others. Saturn’s hard-edged themes of patiently overcoming hardship, living by the rules, and pursuing worldly ambition are at odds with the nurturing, sentimental, security-loving, domestic world of Cancer (the sign of its detriment), and with the impatience and independence of Aries (the sign of its fall).
Uranus is symbolically connected to the unconventional, even revolutionary, sign of Aquarius. Uranus is exalted, or especially strong, in the sign of Scorpio, a sign of transformation that lends a sense of larger purpose to Uranus’ radical changes. It’s in its detriment in Leo, a sign whose emphasis on individual creativity is at odds with Uranus, which represents the principle of egalitarianism. And Uranus is in its fall in Taurus, a sign that values stability and security and doesn’t welcome the kind of disruptive change symbolized by Uranus.
Neptune is symbolically connected to the mystical sign of Pisces. Neptune is exalted, or especially strong, in the sign of Cancer, a sign of emotional sensitivity that lends itself extremely well to Neptune’s sense of illusion, creativity, and artistry. Its sign of detriment is Virgo, whose practical, discriminating, and analytical nature makes an uncomfortable home for Neptune’s unconditional love, intuition, and faith. It’s in its fall in Capricorn, a sign whose ambition, realism, need for power, and roots in the material world place it fundamentally at odds with Neptune’s message of fantasy and spiritual transcendence.
Pluto is symbolically connected to Scorpio, and informs that intense sign’s penchant for transformation. Pluto is exalted, or especially strong, in the sign of Aries, a sign of action that lends a sense of immediacy to Pluto’s slow burning subjugation of others. It’s in its detriment in Taurus, a sign whose need for easygoing beauty, stability and security place it fundamentally at odds with Pluto’s message of ruthless transformation. It’s in its fall in Libra, a sign whose emphasis on fairness and cooperation is also at odds with Pluto, which represents the principles of covert power at all costs.

To all my black followers and friends, stay safe.
Also, I would like to add that black lives have always mattered, will always matter.
It’s awful that we even have to say that because it should be a given. However, we need to say it loud and clear for the racists.
We cannot be silent.
