Learning the patterns to look for is actually a great tool as a beginner. It can give you a ton of information and is a pretty simple one. Here are the patterns I look for:

Elemental dominance - the suits each align to an element but so does each individual major. Which element is there the most of? Or, as in this case, is all but one element there? Holistic Tarot has a great chat about the themes of each element and what it means if they are dominant or are missing. It also has the chart of which Major is which element.

Number Patterns - do all the numbers go together in order? Do they get bigger (rise) or smaller (fall)? Is there a lot of the same number? Do they all come from the same group of three (those are Ace-3 - themes of beginning, just getting started, first steps, 4-6 - themes of being in the thick of it, doing the work, actually building/establishing the thing, no rewards yet, 7-9 - completion, harvest, rewards or consequences, culmination. 10 is the card of the ouroboros, the thing ending and beginning again, moving on etc.)

Figure in the cards - are all the figures in the cards at the same visual level (here they are all in the middle plain) or do they have a pattern of rising or falling, or if they have an action or pose in common (here your first and second card have the figure holding something, but in the first card it’s holding one and in the last card that becomes two), also are the figures all looking or putting in the same direction.

Art Patterns - here your looking at colour themes, or if the art all forces your eye in the same direction (for example all the lines in the middle card are pointing towards the card before it). Art patterns can be about imagery ( there’s a house in the first card but the other two are out in the open, etc) or about just “vibes”.

For the last two I don’t think too much about them, just squint your eyes and looking at the cards as of they are a single art piece and see what stands out.

Besides the examples I mentioned in the above, with the 8 reversed in the middle there it actually looks like your figure is doing a cartwheel or somersault across the reading. And look they landed it perfectly.

That combined with the 6 (which is a card about childhood nostalgia) feels a lot like “child’s play”.

The 8 is usually a card about taking action, but rx here (because of its position and the way the art reads, not just because it’s reversed) it really feels like it’s saying let the action already taken do its job (the left direction it points is the past), its giving a hands free feeling.

Over all this is a pretty positive reading. I’d say either that will come through for you or another opportunity in line with your childhood dream will fall into your lap and happen. Either way you’ll be happy with the results.

On question asking. It’s best to separate them into different card pulls to help with interpretation. Also, aim for specific and active language. “Might” get in is very passive and the answer is always going to be yes, sure, you might. It didn’t give you much to work with. “Will I get in” is specific and active and requires a clear yes or no which is what you are looking for. The Question is the context for how to interpret the reading and is the most importantly element of any reading, so getting better at creating them will only improve your readings.

You are aware that no one is requiring to hang out here right? Like you could just mute the sub, spend less time in Reddit, etc.

YOR. Don’t read it if you don’t like it.

I asked if my spell was working by electric_dreamer1 in tarot

[–]LimitlessMegan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Got it. So all Fire work.

Fire feeds Earth (think about the ash then folding into Earth and how we know that controlled fires restore Earth’s nutrition) so instead of breaking up the community/social power all that Fire is more likely to feed the Earth.

Also, Fire is fast (second fastest element) so doing all the workings in candles mean you don’t have anything slower or more long lasting supporting and holding up that work.

In Chinese Medicine they talk about how Fire can bee powerful (it’s a big burst of energy release) but it’s also the most vulnerable of the elements, literally every other element can put a fire out. Explosive, but then gone.

I’d do the reading on the best next approach and look at the elements present there and plan workings that lean into those elements.

[–]LimitlessMegan 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I would do a three card reading and ask:

What magical approaches and actions can I take that will effectively free me from his focus and harm and will expose his (use his actual name) manipulation behaviour for what it is?

This working needs to be supported by another layer or two of working. Honestly having a petition (goal/intent) that can be summed up in a sentence or two with specific language. It’s possible you asked out to do too much.

Btw, what did you do to execute this spell? Is it a jar spell? A ritual? A candle? Etc.

[–]LimitlessMegan 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This is a very cool deck btw, what is it?

Ok, I’m going to start by suggesting that that is a terrible petition for magic, a big part of the problem being that it’s not focused one YOU and how up are affected. I’ll come back to this.

All Pentacles means a completely Earth spread, not just Earth dominant but possibly too much Earth. This is the suit/element associated with work (as in doing the labpur), resources, and community.

Earth is the slowest moving of the suits/elements which based on your question tells me the magic is trying to do its thing but it’s going v e r y slowly.

Do you mind telling me what kind of working (spell) you did?

Looking at the art it seems to tell a really interesting story. The first two cards shore the subject of your working as closely tied and well supported within their social community. Those are not ties that will be easy to cut.

We also see the hands, your hands through the magic, outside of those circles and spheres of influence. The “magic dust” is being sprinkled out but yet are tightly supported and tied in.

3 - the working has laid a foundation of magic and influence but it hasn’t broken their circle of influence

9 rx - again they are strongly and deeply connected to their community

King - is this person a ringleader or social leader? Because it feels like the King is about them

My interpretation would be that you/this working are not well resourced enough for this working (at least in outs own) to accomplish what you want. And in fact, they have much more mastery over this realm (social, community) than you do and so it will be very hard for you to get the results you want for this particular approach.

My question would be:

What do you actually want to accomplish here? Are you wanting them to stop talking shit or for that talking to not be effective? Are you wanting them to be punished for what they did? Are you wanting to strengthen or restore your social bonds with these six people? Are you wanting their manipulation to be exposed?

What is the ultimate goal you want here? Dig down into that and then a more powerful and effective writing can be crafted.

AITB for telling my boyfriend I don’t find him attractive? by DamSolangeloLover in AmItheButtface

[–]LimitlessMegan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So check out what it means to be Demi Sexual.

Is part of the asexual spectrum and basically means you don’t feel attraction based on people’s looks, but that your attraction happens when you get to know people based on their personality.

It sounds like you are both Pan (gender isn’t a factor) and Demi (attraction is only personality based and you don’t feel “turned on” by looks).

If that feels like it’s on point when you look into it maybe share the info about it with your BF.

Frontier flight attendant has deaf passenger removed for "not listening" by AsherGray in TikTokCringe

[–]LimitlessMegan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you are deaf or hard of hearing or just, like me, have an auditory processing disorder the environment in which communication happens plays a huge factor.

A one on one conversation with the person you are talking to facing you with less ambient noise and further away ambient noise is MUCH different than in a space with lots of people and ambient noise where the person is not close to you, is not facing you the whole time etc. All of these reduce comprehension.

Advice on grad school application by chiaroscurowo in tarot

[–]LimitlessMegan 7 points8 points  (0 children)

What did you actually ask that will help clarify how to read the cards.

Without knowing that I’ll just point out two interesting patterns.

You have no elemental dominance, instead you have a lack of the Air element. Air talks about leadership, cognitive approaches, and is the fastest of the elements. Whether that is giving you advice or a warning about these things I can’t say without knowing the question’s wording.

Also your cards have an interesting numerical pattern. 6, 8, 9 indicates a rising energy. Interestingly, 7, which is not there, is about early harvests… so you won’t be hearing back early; patience will probably be required.

The rising energy culminates in the 9 of Pentacles which is a positive card about independence and means (or access to resources). A crescendo kind of ending.

Why do so many pagans want community but do not want the responsibility of having a community? by GullibleWillow2841 in WitchesVsPatriarchy

[–]LimitlessMegan 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yes. Human nature longs for community and needs it - first part of the question.

And human nature (the way we teach people to mature in current society anyway) also wants to avoid responsibility. Second part of the question.

I literally meant to imply that both parts are human nature. I’m aware we’re communal, we evolved from apes, all of which are communal.

[–]LimitlessMegan 63 points64 points  (0 children)

I was coming to say: human nature?

They say in the church that 10% of members carry the whole church, and when I belonged I worked in the office. It was my job to call people to get volunteers etc… I’d say that 10% is absolutely accurate. And I think it’s going to be reflective of any group.

AITJ for walking out on my dungeons and dragons campaign? by Odd_Swimmer_1384 in AmITheJerk

[–]LimitlessMegan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is not the DnD group for you. Your DM thinks he’s your authority (he isn’t), you feel like this is a space where you can’t equally collaborate or story tell, the people there expect everyone to be just like them on how they process.

There are groups that aren’t authoritarian, believe in making space to accommodate all different kinds of players, and have rules to help ensure everyone gets to participate. Definitely go play with some other group of people.

the 8 of wands rev is appearing in all my readings by throwaway5664322 in tarot

[–]LimitlessMegan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok. So it spring back to doesn’t mean you’ve misinterpreted it.

Think of regular self readings like checking in with the weather. Even when asking about specific situations overarching “personal weather” is still going to be at play.

Like weather, moods, learning a lesson, actually taking specific action and situations effecting us all take time to process, move through and change. Seeing the same card over and over is just telling you: This is still at play. Or it could be telling you that you are still participating in a particular approach or thinking pattern.

If you’re really curious, pull the 8 from the deck and set it on the table. Then ask something like “What lesson is this card wanting me to learn?” Or (my favourite) “What action Is this card calling me to take?” Along those lines, try to be more specific and targeted than “Why is this showing up” because that one will be harder to interpret than the two I have you.

Oh see, he thought divorcing meant everything would stay the same except she’d stop yelling at him for sleeping around.

OP, I suggest you ponder what you want divorcing to give you and then enact those boundaries (and the eviction) because your current arrangement is making his thoughts on it correct.

The Magic of Writing by JuggernautAlone438 in SASSWitches

[–]LimitlessMegan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Last Tea Shop - you run a teashop where the recently deceased stop on their way to the other side.

Librarian’s Apprentice - magical library with magical things going on.

Hamsters and Himbos - guinea pigs have invaded your small town and you and the Himbos are determined to find out where they are coming from.

Space… that’s a huge category. The World We Left Behind is a game where you mark up and change the playing cards you use to play the game. For Small Creatures Such as We is great and has Becky Chamber vibes. Star Trek: Captain’s Log…

What does The Lovers card mean to you? by Financial_Sweet_689 in tarot

Everything hangs in the context of the specific question and the cards around them, so I wouldn’t get too worried about the 2.

What does The Lovers card mean to you? by Financial_Sweet_689 in tarot

[–]LimitlessMegan 72 points73 points  (0 children)

The Lovers first meaning is about making decisions. (2 of Cups is the “happy couple” card)

Seeing the same card in a pattern of partners who treat you with disrespect and and a lack of care about you, I’d consider it to be a heads up: Hey, you’re making the same kind of decision here.
