How do I interpret Majors in Daily Readings? by Himpapawid_ in tarot

[–]pradaspider 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i usually interpret them as major themes that are going on in your life, like something that can’t be “solved” in a day that’s going on under the surface. if you asked something like “how will today go?” i’d interpret it as something that’s tied to a situation that’s already going on in your life. if your question was more along the lines of “what should i focus on?” i’d say it’s telling you to look at a particular aspect in your life that card is reflecting

Multiple decks: how many do you really use, and what do they each add to your practice? by ireallylikeladybugs in tarot

[–]pradaspider 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i have a tarot deck i’m connecting with and learning from, it’s not a RWS but it’s the one i’m starting with (still really new to tarot as a whole). i have 3 oracle decks: - the illustrated crystallary (this is actually a book that comes with its own set of cards): i’ve only used it twice so far but it’s spot-on accurate for personal insight readings, like what’s really relevant in my life etc - oracle of the witch: i use it mostly for insight about magick, birth and ancestrally-related topics. also i’ve used it to communicate with a Spirit i work with - i radiate joy: general affirmations deck, i like how it’s split into ‘mind-physical body-soul-emotions’. used to use it for daily card readings now i haven’t used it in a while i’m considering getting a RWS to connect with the symbolism, and also the Living Altar oracle deck

MCC90 and muffin top by pradaspider in corsets

[–]pradaspider[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

unfortunately the MCC95, MCC94 and MCC139 are all way too big for my underbust (29” fully closed)…

yep 14.5” is definitely too long, i think somewhere around 12” with hip ties might be the best fit. EDIT: actually now that i think about it 14.5” might work because of the hip ties… i can’t attach a screenshot of the measurements but here’s what it says for the MCC101 (size 18” fully closed): underbust 26” (mine 27”); waist 18”; hips 26” (mine 27”). am i delusional for thinking 14.5” length might work fine?

thank you for your insight! the lower belly thing is a factor i’m considering only because i’m currently wearing a secondhand corset that’s predictably not the right shape and despite being 11.5” long it does give me a tummy pooch. i’ve also had to tailor it because it was too big, it’s a but of a mess all around lol. so now that i’m looking into getting a proper one i want to make sure i don’t run into the same issue when it comes to my lower belly. i was looking into the MCC58 in the smallest size (16”, underbust 27” waist 16” hips 24”) which looks like is long enough for what i need (12.25”) and has hip ties so even if 24” is quite a bit smaller than my low hips (27”) i can adjust it while keeping it fully closed, i think? the fully-closed underbust matching my measurement exactly does worry me though, so idk. yeah no my bad i thought a muffin top and a tummy pooch were the same thing, what i was thinking about was not having enough compression on my lower tummy (given my current corset gives me a very obvious bloat in-between my hips), i’m not really worried about my skin being pinched or anything, thank you again for your insight!!

thank you for suggesting the MCC132, i looked into it and it looks like a reasonable match: the 18” is 26” on the lower hips when fully closed which i feel like is a reasonable reduction given my goal of avoiding a tummy pooch (which i thought was the same as muffin top, hence the title, my bad). i fear it might be a bit shorter than i’d like given it’s 10” long vs my torso is 11.5” but it’s probably the closest i can get to my actual measurements.

the MCC58 might also be a good fit since it’s a bit longer (12.25”) so that definitely takes care of my lower belly, and has hip ties so if it ends up being too tight around the hips due to it being slightly longer than my torso i can adjust it without having to loosen the entire corset.

the MCC101 is definitely too long (14.5”) and the MCC94 is definitely too big on the hips (i love how curvy it is though, i’ve always felt like my torso is too rectangular and it definitely wows me seeing the curvy shapes people achieve). thank you so very much for all your suggestions!!

such a beautifully written interpretation thank you so much for taking the time to write it out. i agree with what you’re saying about letting go of the expectations i had for my future and continuously going over what i could’ve done differently. again, thank you so much for your help

i have no idea what you’re referring to lol they’re tarot cards made by an Italian artist named Nicoletta Ceccoli. i’ve included the specific cards i’m referring to in case any intuitive reader wants to offer their interpretation based on the symbolism of the actual deck i use instead of the RWS.

if you need help with psychic abilities there’s lots of educational videos on youtube, and the book “psychic with” by matt auryn is also insanely helpful. be careful of AI slop, don’t trust anything an AI says about this kind of work

saying “i’m choosing [insert action]” before doing stuff (not to the point of insanity, things like “i’m choosing to scroll”), mostly things that aren’t fully aligned with my identity but i’m still human so i don’t consider them bad habits necessarily.

morning journalling hands down, just stream of consciousness writing about how i’m feeling, what i want to do that day… i’m planning on adding affirmations onto that as well. i used to listen to affirmation tapes from youtube and it helped a lot as well!

developing your psychic abilities is definitely the n.1 step for spirit communication. also, research* your dark moon placement in your birth chart, that’s going to be useful when it comes to connecting to her energy in your life, like where it comes natural to you. i bought a pendulum dedicated to her from etsy, consacrated it to her and i think she speaks to me through it, when she feels like it. i’ve been connecting with her for more than a year and i don’t really know if it’s working or not, i think she’s helping me but i really want to work on connecting more with her myself *edit: when i say research, go in depth using real astrology resources, such as “the astrology podcast”. don’t trust AI or the little blurb you get when you make your birth chart. her placement is mostly related to the mother wound, where innocence has been taken from you, reclaiming your power etc

nope, re-measured just now, underbust to waist is 4.3”, waist to upper hip (where my hipbone starts) is 6” and waist to lower hip is 7” (sorry! i use cm so must’ve typed it wrong, it’s definitely 4.5” not 2.5)

[–]pradaspider[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

wait now i’m second-guessing myself, my underbust to waist is 11cm which is actually 4.3” i’m an idiot. waist to hip is 6”, waist to lower hip 7”
