Emma (not my real name, but I use a lot on the Internet)

I feel like I lost my path about my career and my future. I can’t decide what to do and what is right for me. So I guess my question is something like what is the right career path for me ? I tried to read for myself, because I am a beginner at tarot I couldn’t understand and I stressed. And your readings generally resonates with me so I want to get info from you. I hope it will help me. Thank you in advance 🙏.

The scene I was thinking was a forest with fulled with snow, everywhere white and bright, calm, nearly no sound, so relaxing, so many trees everywhere without leaves, sun on the top, bright weather, chill but not cold air, little breeze.

I want to know about what kind of people you are or your job. Because in the past, on your tumblr page, there was written INTP, and I used to have a INTP friend. So I am curious because of this.

Hi, Emma, thank you for participating in the giveaway. Your Hex code seems to be missing 1 letter but colours start with #ffa6c code are various shades of pink so I chose this colour, hope you don't mind.

Your feedback is much appreciated.

What you wish to know about me : I've answered about my job in the previous ask here. If I have to describe myself : rationalise feelings, procrastinate, 50+ tabs in my browser, spent an entire week to build an elaborate plan with 200 steps on how to pick a seat on the bus but spent 5 minutes to decide to quit my job, random, like to do things my own way. Are these typical of an INTP? How was your friend like?

The reading for your question:

This will be something that you're not familiar with, maybe you've heard of it but didn't consider it seriously. This career path will bring you out of your comfort zone, require you to learn new skills, show yourself more to the world.

I strongly feel that it has to do with journalism, writing and publishing. Any career that requires mental dexterity and verbal skill, balancing between a rational mind and an open heart. Lots of writing, typing, talking. The themes are about personal feelings and experiences, history, cultures, changes and transformation, innovations, anything to expand the perspective of people.

Maybe conducting interviews, doing documentaries, writing poetry, essays, reviews and reporting. Or publishing books and magazines. It could be your own writing or you work in the publishing process.

Teaching is also suitable, helping people gain knowledge, develop skills and grow emotionally.

You might want to pay more attention to your daydreams, notice when you like something, imagine about something, feeling aspired by something, what are the attributes associated with it and look for a career that has those attributes.

I hope this reading helped you gain some more clarity.

Helllo!!! @fishnapple (River🌊) whenever you post PAC reading I always find so refreshing and peaceful. Your insights have a way of bringing clarity and calmness, and I truly appreciate how you make them resonate so well.🫶🏻✨

BTW😄 how are you ? I would like to participate in the "August reading giveaway "

Nickname: Rarely (PS - I don't have a nickname but I have a username that I have used many times.)

Hex code: #32CD32

Beautiful scene: 'A quiet beach⛱️ at sunset🌅 with the waves gently lapping the shore.'

Questions that I want to ask you about yourself :

▫️How did you discover your connection with crystals, and how do you choose which crystals to work with?

▫️What inspired you to start reading crystals, and what do you find most fulfilling about it?

▫️What is your favorite crystal to read and why?

Now,

My question which I want to ask you :

I feel disconnected from myself and want to know myself better. What can the crystals reveal to help me understand and reconnect with who I am? (I hope it makes sense).

Hello, Rarely, How are you? Thank you for your message, it warms my heart. 💗

And also thank you for participating in the giveaway. Your feedback is much appreciated.

What you wish to know about me : Some of your questions have been answered in this post, you can go there for the details.

▫️How did you discover your connection with crystals, and how do you choose which crystals to work with?

Eh...This answer will probably be disappointing 👀. It's not that I connect with crystals in particular, but more like I connect with the colours and shapes of objects. What I mean is I don't use crystals for its well-known properties but merely for its colours and shapes. For example, I put Moonstone next to my pillow to boost dream clarity not because of the Moonstone's properties (calmness, femininity, etc.) but because it's white. Any white objects will have the same effect on me like that. This explains why I can do readings just fine with the clay cubes I made. So in conclusion, I choose crystals based on their colours, the feeling and characteristics those colours evoke in me, I tend to see the characters of human in objects (anthropomorphism), like an apple is a young boy or strawberry is a feisty middle-age lady (idk lol)

▫️What inspired you to start reading crystals, and what do you find most fulfilling about it?

I saw my friend do it so I wanted to give it a try. I'm always interested in the occult art so I want to try different mediums to find what works with me. After many trials and errors, I finally feel comfortable reading crystals. What I find most fulfiling about it is probably because it was the reason I started this blog.

▫️What is your favorite crystal to read and why?

If it's about reading then any crystals with interesting shapes and colours lol. I suppose it's similar to liking someone with distinct characters. If I have to pick then it's the stones I use for Sun and Moon, they both have two sides, one bright, one dark.

The reading for your question:

I think the feeling of disconnection comes from the confusion in your mind, with it being muddled by the chattering of outside world, maybe you've been on social media too much or watching news, hearing so many different stories? Watching so many things, so much information being taken in. This might take you away from your original goals or visions about your life. There's a part in you that wants to hear what everyone is talking about. People's opinions might affect your actions greater than you think or want to think.

I can see that you have so much energy inside, like a nuclear reactor deep within that can manifest as ambitions, you want to achieve many things and leave a lasting mark on the world. You have an inner authority that wants to be respected, and it shows. Boundary is something that you hold very strongly, a formidable fortress that deters anyone from crossing. The more intense you feel about something, the thicker the wall of that fortress be, trying to control the situation, it makes you feel safe, and safety is very important for you. Safe in your own home, safe in knowing that you have what you need, your life is stable and steady, just like how you know it. In a way, you see information as the source of power for you. The more you know, the more powerful you are. Anything sudden or threatening that safety will shaken you, put you in survival mode. But those events are usually for your growth, to push you out of your walls and be free.

I hope this will help somehow.

I shall go through your pinned post then.

I’ve a few Qs, pls answer them at your leisure.

1) Do you see tarot as a predictive tool or one of self-help?

2) Astrology tells us that there are certain things that are bound to happen. Yes free-will exists, but there are SOME things once cannot escape. Do you feel tarot has such beliefs too?

3) Do you feel the future can be changed?

Sorry for bombarding you with Qs. 🙈 But am always so curious to know what tarot readers say about stuff like this!

I love discussions so it's always a joy to receive questions like these. If you have more questions or just want to share something, feel free to let me know.

Before answering your Qs, I have to put a disclaimer beforehand that all of these are my personal thoughts and experiences and I don't seek to deny the validity of other opinions. And also my spiritual beliefs don't really align with any particular system.

1) Do you see tarot as a predictive tool or one of self-help?

I see Tarot and other divination mediums as a tool to help us connect with the collective and our own individual unconscious. As the term "unconscious" denotes, it's a part that we don't usually aware of in ourselves and how it connects to everything.

Through Tarot, we become more aware of that part, gain more knowledge from it. But what we do with that knowledge is our own choice. Let's imagine the unconscious as a raw database and Tarot is an open source data processing program with many tools for analysing, predicting trends based on existing data, combine data to make a whole new thing etc. The tools will keep being added, updated based on the user (us)'s needs and skills.

So yes, Tarot can be used as a predictive tool or one of self-help, it can also be used for many different purposes as long as the user can get reliable results from it. I've asked Tarot for big life decisions, predicting major events, but I've also asked Tarot for advice on simple things like the place to go, the food to buy (yes lol) just to see how life will unfold.

2) Astrology tells us that there are certain things that are bound to happen. Yes free-will exists, but there are SOME things once cannot escape. Do you feel tarot has such beliefs too?

I think the only things that we cannot escape are the parents whom we are born to and our physical death. One can also argue that our higher self chose our parents but I'm of the belief that there is an underlying system that ensures the balance of the universe and we are placed in the right time and place according to that system. But it's not a rigid system but a flexible one, constantly changing to adapt to new situations.

And where do those new situations come from? from us, by our conscious or unconscious choices. Things that are considered bound to happen, things that one cannot escape are actually the results of our choices. Sometimes we make those choice unconsciously so it looks like we are just some passive pawns moved by some higher hands. The more aware we are of ourselves, the less we feel that our life is governed by outside force. This explains why some people who are aware of themselves, aware of all their light and dark sides, their gray sides, rarely resonate with their astrology chart or Tarot readings. Because their life is not controlled by a seemingly outside unknown force anymore.

Astrology chart can be the blueprint for our journey, but how we build it, how we decorate it, how we renovate it later on is our own choices. Tarot predictions are also like that.

3) Do you feel the future can be changed?

The answer to this question can be seen from the previous questions. The future is a result that will likely happen if we follow the trends of our existing actions, an extrapolation. Anything that hasn't happened yet, can be changed.

Hi River 👋 This Emma again 🎀🎀 Do you think about doing a giveaway like you are doing in August again ? Or in September ? I hope you are okay by the way. Also, why is your tumblr name fishnapple ☺️👋 ?

Hi Emma, I'm doing fine, thanks for asking 😊

Except for the PAC readings which I post weekly, I can be pretty random with other things so I can't say for sure when will I do a giveaway again. If I were you, I wouldn't put expectation on it. 😂

Why is my Tumblr name fishnapple? because fish and apple are the two images that spontaneously appeared in my head whenever I have a question or thinking about the future. If they like to appear in my head so much, why not let them appear outside too.

I suppose the fish my head is the same species as the one in this cup?

2. Provide below information (I will not pick requests that lack one of these information)

Hello, thank you for doing this. My nickname is bell.

My question is: 'what beautiful things will I find/see on this life journey?'

The hexcode of my favourite colour is #cb9d06.

A beautiful scene: snow-capped mountains standing against the golden sun, as I lay with a lover.

From you, I wish to know what your most wonderful dream (wish for your life) is?

Hi, Bell, How are you? I'm glad that you participated in the giveaway.

Your feedback is much appreciated.

What you wish to know about me : Your question seems so simple yet so profound to answer. I suppose the wish I have for my life is the 3 Hs: Healthy, Helpful, Happy. And I wish the same for everyone. My personal dream is to wander around the world and see its full glory.

I'd love to hear about your life wish.

The reading for your question:

The first thing I saw when I tossed the crystal was the stone of Venus, landed at the highest position of the chart, like a dignified queen ruling over the rest. In your life journey, the theme of love and beauty will be the most predominant, almost like a principal. You will encounter it in many forms, in many places, from the most personal to the wide world around you. You will learn to understand it, express it, appreciate it.

There is a profound truth that you can feel in this life. The connection of the inner self to the outer world. Going deep within to hold your vulnerable self safe and strong, then reach outward to touch the beauty of life in everything.

Even when fears accompanies you in every step along the way, you don't back down and

go forward with your life in the most direct and pure faith. Which in turn will bring you many fateful encounters that can transform your life. Every relationship is a valuable lesson not matter how fleeting they are.

You've been given the gift of introspection, keen eyes peering into the unknown. What you need to do is make use of the wisdom and intuition to create a concrete, lasting legacy. To put actions behind your words. The infinite beauty of life is opened to whoever brave enough to look inside and find themselves.

Hello, I hope you are well!!!

This is for your new ask game, in case I'm chosen:

My nickname is Lissi

The hexcode of my favourite colour is:

#BB8FCE

My chosen scene: Me playing video games with a group of friends in a warm cottage during Winter, belly-laughing over an inside joke, and me feeling no anxiety, just totally relaxation and belonging :)

I wish to know what inspired your parents to give you such a name, and whether you feel like the concept of a 'blue river' matches your personality or not (I apologize if this is too personal)

My question is, how will my life change in-between now and July 2025?

Thank you so much, have a nice day 💙💙💙

Hi, Lissi, I hope you're well too!. Thank you for participating in the giveaway. Your feedback is much appreciated ❤️

What you wish to know about me : My mum wanted to give me a name that is peaceful and not standing out too much. She didn't want my name to stand out from the list and be constantly called by the teachers lol, my name's initials is in the middle of the alphabet, not too long, not too short, not too special. Another plus is that it's a gender neutral name, if someday I decide to change my gender, I won't have to change my name. Tho many people have mistaken me for a guy because of this name, even the government official, which can be really funny. My gender in the national database was "male" at some point due to this. 🤣

When I was a kid, I found this name to be too quiet (I was a quiet kid and this name didn't help). But as I grew older, I've come to appreciate it. It fits my life, quiet and peaceful but not stagnant. Funny how I have a fire dominant chart yet have a watery name.👀

The reading for your question:

There might be a sudden gain in finance, one that you wouldn't expect. It may come in the form of gifts or prizes.

In the upcoming year, you will spend more time to be with yourself. There's a tendency to withdraw, to seek solitude more, to have time to process things alone.

You might have some heavy feelings concerning work and success. There's a feeling of confinement and stuffiness. Pressure coming from all around and inside you. Could be that your family or someone close to you might put pressure on you concerning those matters. Or you feel a kind of peer pressure from the community, the society. The way you perceive that pressure might not be too realistic. You just see the bright side, the glittery image of success of other people, the idealised version but not really see the hardship and obstacles, the setbacks and disappointments behind it. Which in turn makes you develop an unrealistic expectation for yourself.

Also beware of hidden rivalry.

You will find that your thoughts begin to shift, you will begin to think more about growing farther, bigger than your current life. Hence the seeking of solitude. You will want to think about what you truly want, what can fulfil you, what needs you to nurture, what you're meant to do, your life purpose.

You might feel that your life doesn't have much momentum. Things might seem to happen slowly, nothing eventful. Behind it is the hidden feeling of dread, afraid that something bad might lurk around and jump out suddenly one day. It's a sign of stagnation, a sign that you need to change something, to move forward.
