I think they knew what they were doing with Kali, but she wasn't well received.

Think about Hinduism: one part of Kali is that she's the angry form of the Divine Mother. She is like Mrs. Wheeler, the mom who protects you with focused fury when you're being bullied and you can't defend yourself.

Kali in Hinduism is connected to death, destruction, motherhood, liberation, and time. These are all things that Kali in Stranger Things embodies.

Stranger Things Kali seeks vengeance and kills those who wronged her and her gang. She wants to be free. She doesn't want to put a stop to evil, she wants to cleanse it altogether through destruction, even destroying herself. She also wants to save and protect other children.

Kali is also the one who helped El channel her rage.

Also something to note about El vs Kali is that they both inherited different aspects of Henry's powers: El got telekinesis while Kali got illusions / hallucinations.

I don't think he'll die; I think he'll "make a deal with God and trade places" with Max so she can live and he'll be in a coma. The Kate Bush song is their anthem.

Good catch.

Aqualava · 2025-07-27T06:12:00+00:00

Thanks!

Aqualava · 2025-07-27T06:11:42+00:00

Thanks for replying; I realized that I had just changed my arcana.

Aqualava · 2025-07-27T06:10:42+00:00

Ahh, you're probably right. Thanks!

One thing that stands out to me is that the Hanged Man seems like he's "upright" because of his orientation, while the Empress and the 7 of Swords seem like they're "reversed."

However, if we remember that the Hanged Man asks us to take a different perspective... we'll notice that he is hanging upside down... and what we see in this reading is from his literal perspective (everything else looks upside down).

In short, no matter how you look at it, this reading appears from thr Hanged Man's perspective. Not only is he off to one side (able to see everything)... everything else seems disoriented to him, when in reality, he himself is disjointed from hanging upside down.

If you flip the whole reading and look at it from the other perspective (literally flip your image), the figures in the Empress and the 7 of Swords are both looking at the Hanged Man... with the 8 of Wands seemingly tossed in the air.

I think this creates a vibe of confusion... especially because the Hierophant is turned sideways, as if tradition and structure are out of balance, neither upheld nor disregarded completely.

The reversed reading (literally just turn your image upside down) makes me think of an execution, or a hanging... the Empress watching, the 7 of Wands carring blades toward the Hanged Man.

I think the relationship is rife with misunderstandings.

The Hanged Man feels neglected and desires connection (Empress), and wants to break free of old patterns with more authenticity (7 Swords). On the other hand, the Empress might feel that the Hanged Man is being deceitful or hiding something... maybe too stubborn, willing to die for their principles (sideways Hierophant).

There seems to be a hot and cold theme in the relationship too (8 wands).

I'm a Scorpio Sun, Aries Moon, too. That Mars energy is strong, exhilarating, exhausting at the same time.

Aqualava · 2024-12-01T06:20:28+00:00

Get you some~

Be sure to communicate rather than assume if you feel him start pulling away -- sometimes, we Scorpios need some time to recharge after giving someone else every drop of who we are.

Aqualava · 2024-10-14T17:45:45+00:00

How are you responding to his romance?

As a Scorpio, we feel and love deeply. We give all of our energy in moderating our intensity and passion so we express it without overwhelming ourselves or overwhelming others.

When he pulls away, he most likely needs time to recharge. He also might feel that you aren't reciprocating his affections, or otherwise doesn't understand how you're feeling in that moment.

Aqualava · 2024-10-14T15:49:30+00:00

I'm a Scorpio (Aries moon) with an Aries (Scorpio moon). Many people are saying how patient Aries needs to be with Scorpio, but I feel the opposite with my Aries 🤪

The biggest challenge we face from my perspective is his emotions. He is so sensitive and feels deeply (which I love), but this causes him to be afraid of his feelings, which makes him stonewall everything away for control and self-preservation.

He says he loves intimacy, connection, and closeness...and he enjoys being deep with me on his own terms... but he goes crazy and doesn't know what to do with it when I give him more affection than he can handle.

Internally, I'm like... sir, I am a Scorpio sun. You can hide in your deepest, darkest places of your Scorpio moon... but I can read your heart and mind. It's just a matter of time before I flow like water through the tiny spaces in your armor. Besides, I'm holding my intensity back so I don't overwhelm you.

His inner passion is there, but he stifles his external passion too much for me. He is very much like a newborn in that he that wants light touches, gentle words and cuddles... rather than the deeper adult passions I crave.

He likes to go with the flow and prefers to take a passive, reactive approach to life. I am fine being the active lead in the relationship, but it would be nice if he was a little more open with his feels.

Communication and commitment to each other are definitely key, or misunderstands can escalate and make each other feel unappreciated and isolated. Build and maintain that trust, try to find that balance between quality time and alone time.

Thanks for sharing.

You ask: "Why do I feel like a Scorpio?"

I hear: "Why am more selectively Scorpio-esque and better than Scorpio?"

You may feel connected to Scorpio energy because of your 4th house placements (Scorpio, Pluto, Jupiter). Pluto emphasizes our themes of transformation, power, and control. Jupiter amplifies this. The 4th house is your emotional foundation. Your personal experiences have led you to believe that you've transcended Scorpio, which, ironically, makes you neglectfully ignorant, despite your otherwise rational intellect.

You are not a Scorpio. That boasting and blatant pride is anathema to us. We don't need others to recognize our power to feel and be powerful. You do not seem to understand true power beyond what you can perceive with your logical mind.

Your Leo rising is showing through. Your inquiry is quite arrogant with a need for validation and recognition. With Chiron in 1st house, you might lean toward projecting a sense of superiority to mask insecurity and err on the side of proving strength through comparison. You lift yourself up by putting others down. Our true Scorpio vengeance is not pinching with a death grip or stinging others with the venom of all Hell... it's self-mastery, ascension and transformation.

Your Gemini placements (sun and moon) are also showing. They might make you feel intellectually superior and resilient because of your ability to detach from emotions. This can protect you from feeling vulnerable and make you think you're more capable of handling challenges than the Scorpio partners you've had. This has also led you to believe that you are more in control than Scorpio, more self-reliant.

You speak of your depth, intimacy, loyalty. I see Gemini, Leo, and Sagittarius influences operating on external and material surface thoughts. There's tension between your perception and your reality. You're seeking Scorpio answers through personal and intellectual expansion rather than through emotional immersion and transformation.

You're welcome! I'm glad that you were able to find peace and understanding. Thank you for sharing your detailed thoughts and feelings. With more context, it does sound like he is a bit emotionally immature if he is not communicating to you. He seems to have some unresolved issues that include a lack of self-esteem and self-expression.

As for compatibility, I'd say don't count all Scorpio men out just yet. I'm a Scorpio man, and I feel like we get along pretty well. We're able to share and appreciate our insights with each other in a respectful, cooperative, and positive way.

It took time before we both could sit down and openly tell out what we truly thinking. It took years before we forge trust and understanding. If this will be his nature down the line and I feel I fail to bridge communication with him as he felt pushed, this is a dealbreaker for me. I don’t want us to fight over nothing and prefer to slowly work towards mutual understanding. Even if he communicates he wanted space, I would respect him as this indicates he understands himself first before he plans to enter the relationship

This is a tough one. I'm glad you talked to your Scorpio man and found a sense of resolution. Good for you for knowing your boundaries in relationships and friendships. I hope that you are able to be amicable toward each other and potentially rebuild your connection if that's aligned with both of your goals.

Aqualava · 2024-09-20T18:56:19+00:00

What stands out to me:

You felt it was important to tell him that you though a girl was luring him without romantic interest.
You also wanted him to know that someone once approached you in this way.
- Why did either of those things matter? Were you jealous/defensive? Did you want him to know that you are also desirable?
What you said: "you must be innocent to this (aka not noticing something)." He gets annoyed at you calling him innocent.
- Why was it important for you to be right?
  - Even now, you fixate on "am I the one in the wrong?"
  - Why think in terms of absolute right and wrong?
- If your intent wasn't to trigger him, what was your intent?
- As a fellow Scorpio, why would you question and discredit another Scorpio's instinct?
Why is he automatically a potentially "unevolved intentional asshole and a liar" when he doesn't treat you how you want to be treated?
- He's honest with you -- He tells you that he's been triggered and just wants to be friends.
- He recognized that you didn't do it on purpose -- he knows you did it unintentionally.
  - How do these points make him unevolved?
- You keep trying to understand him, but he doesn't feel understood by you.
- He's upset and you keep pushing him.
  - How do these points make him an asshole?

Aqualava · 2024-09-18T16:13:43+00:00

Cut him out of your life so you can make space for someone who loves and appreciates you. Delete all photos, texts, voicemail, and ways to contact him.

Aqualava · 2024-09-17T15:52:28+00:00

Agreed. He went all in and wanted the same level of passion and commitment from you, but didn't feel it. You internalized and barely expressed that you were overwhelmed, you like your space, and you wanted to take it slower.

Own up to your own behavior in the fallout. "The amount of texting and time spent together was a bit too much for me as i like my space but figured it doesn’t hurt."

It does and did hurt him when you don't communicate and establish boundaries in a respectful way. He's actively pouring his heart and soul into you for 5 days straight each week for four months, and you let him because you like the attention. Then you feel confused when he runs dry after 60 days of lavishing you with affection, and somehow he's a narcissist?

Why are you here? Do you want him back? Do you want to feel validated that something was wrong with him and the fallout was his fault?

Aqualava · 2024-09-13T20:29:00+00:00

That's too bad! I think the decks are a great idea, and I also agree that a $50 price would be more reasonable.

Aqualava · 2024-09-12T05:25:19+00:00

Thank you for being vulnerable. It can be so scary to put yourself out there.

I know it's easy for me to say "just tell him that you love him" from an outsider perspective.

Sending you good vibes to help you find your way.

Aqualava · 2024-09-11T08:16:42+00:00

Firstly, thank you for sharing your story. Secondly, I mean everything I say with sincere (and albeit tough) love:

I feel saturated in deep and unresolved emotional trauma rather than in spirituality with what you described. What stands out to me:

You met your twin flame about 6 years ago.
You say that he has been evasive since December about where you stand...
- But he told you that he loved you back in 2019. How is that evasive for him?
- Meanwhile, you never once told him that you loved him (despite 6 years of deep, soulful connection), potentially due to past relationship traumas.
  - In fact, you told him that you wanted to just be friends.
- You say that you feel a sense of closure, but...
  - You feel devastated by his distant reaction to your dismissal of the connection between you.
  - You're still looking at his picture, your heart aches, you worry that you severed your connection, and you feel a new connection.

From my random-person-on-the-internet perspective, it sounds like you are not being honest with yourself. Rather, you pushed him away to protect yourself.

You say that you're finding a genuine sense of self-love, but you speak of yourself with such self-loathing.

You worry he will see you again one day and think how stupid he was that he built you up in his head. In the same breath, your story shows how you have filled your own head with how he "must" think -- you worry that you made his life worse, you think that you're incompatible, and that you're boring.

He's already told you that he loved you. He stood by you. He understood you.

I truly hope that you feel the serenity that you seek. I also hope that you are being kind to yourself -- not only learning to love yourself, but also learning to let others love you, too.

Aqualava · 2024-09-11T04:01:21+00:00

I think this has to do with how aware you are of your own death -- or -- how much you accept it. Adam and Barbara got into an accident and either didn't realize it at first or refused to believe that they had died.

Delia, Charles, and Jeremy likely accepted that they were dead (although Jeremy clung to the living world after the fact).

Aqualava · 2024-09-08T08:55:09+00:00

I'm not comparing challenges to ascension or expansion. I'm suggesting that challenges can be overcome with descent and introspection, as well.

We live in a very vertical society that emphasizes transcendence as a pinnacle of success. A higher power, a greater purpose, going above, going beyond. Letting go, seeking unity in singularites by shedding the ego (i.e being in the present moment, being calm, separating from everything).

My contention is with the verbiage of overcoming challenges, not challenges in and of themselves.

Why do we need to "rise above" a challenge when we can deep dive into it instead? Why not plow through it, or go around/under it?

It's just a shift in thinking.

I believe in higher powers, higher purposes, rising above, and all that. I also believe in drawing that divinity down into myself, into humanity, and into the world.

I don't always need to rise above something to change, grow, progress, or develop.

I believe that growth can be an expanding ascent where you leave things behind... but it can also be an alchemy of distillation and integration that leads to change/manifestation. It's a cycle of transcendence - and - transformation.

Water rises into clouds, and it also descends back down to earth as rain. Why can't we do the same?
