✨ Major Arcana Meanings ✨

Hello!! In this post I’ll explain the meaning of the major arcana (rider Waite). They are the product of many years using the tarot, reading many books, practicing etc. Remember that tarot is an art and like all art it needs time and sacrifice to improve. Don’t get so attached to books and keywords, use your most powerful tool which is intuition. Look at the spread as if it was a movie, observe how the cards influence one another, put yourself in the shoes of the figures, observe the colors, composition, facial expressions, poses and what they say to you. Something that helped me understand the Major Arcana was “The fool’s Journey”. Perhaps you feel that the meanings are somewhat vague or many of them are repeated, keep in mind that many cards can mean different things depending on the other cards that accompany them.

what is air moon culture

I hope you’re ready because I have an entire LIST  

Air moon culture is:

Pretending things don’t bother you because you always want to come off as easy-going

Accidentally leaving people on read bc you got distracted and now you feel bad

Feeling like an awful friend/partner/etc when someone is being emotional and you don’t know what to do

Getting obsessed with something and researching every little thing about it until you’re quickly bored and move onto the next thing

Getting distracted for hours at a time by like, anything.

Using humor to comfort people

Finally being comfortable enough to express your emotions to someone, only to have them (most of the time) brush it off. (or feel attacked lol)

Not being able to sleep because your mind is racing with thoughts (might be more of a Gemini moon thing)

 Over-analyzing feelings

Accidentally coming off as flirtatious

Pieces of Advice for Living

Happiness is where you are now, or nowhere at all

Renounce useless guilt

Fall in love with inner beauty

Create your own space

Be brave enough to be bad at something new

When things change inside you, things change arround you

Spend time with people who matter most

Asking for help does not make you weak

Change is uncomfortable but necessary

Read more classic literature

Read about history from different sources 

Buy less clothes and make sure they are made organically and ethically or buy second hand

Learn to say No

Deflecting someone who compliments you isn’t modest it’s insulting

Your boundaries will scare some people away, it’s fine! let them go

Compliment yourself

Your mental and physical health are always your priority

Take a bath and notice how great your body is

Be mindful of the things you put into your body emotionally, spiritually and physically

Your diet is not only what you eat, it’s what you watch, what you listen to, what you read and with who you spend your time with

Don’t let the internet rush you

Start believing that nothing is too good for you  

Get enough sleep

Buy vegan options in anything that’s possible

Keep it private until you know it’s permanent

Enjoy experience more than materials 

Stay in your healing

Your scars are symbols of your strength

Journal Prompt for Shadow Work #5

Hey friends! Are you ready for another journal prompt to expand your knowledge about your Shadow self? This week we are kicking it up a notch and asking some deeper questions. 1. In what ways are you inauthentic with yourself? Why is that? Are you pretending to be someone you aren’t? Are you a watered down version of your true self? What is getting in the way of you being your most authentic self? 2. How often do you lie to yourself? It can be about anything. Are you really okay or are you just masking? 3. Are you holding onto friendships that are unhealthy? Are you holding onto relationships that are toxic? Are you noticing a pattern within these behaviors between them or yourself? 4. We all have broken promises to ourselves, this question is asking you what was the biggest promise that you have broken with yourself that causes you to constantly think about? Do you regret this decision? Why or why not? There are no guidelines to these prompts, answer with honesty to understand where you may need to make improvements and to meet your Shadow Self. The answers to these prompts are for you only. Be open and write down all of your thoughts. Please reach out if you need extra support. I am not a licensed professional however my inbox is open for whoever that needs support. I hope these prompts help whoever is in need of clarity. https://jupitermoonapothecary419642784.wordpress.com/2021/08/23/journal-prompts-for-shadow-work-5/
