I Shall Go Through Your Pinned Post Then.

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, me Emma again 😊. I am an ENTP. You and my friends’ likes look similar too 😂. She also likes the series you wrote one of the asks. Can I ask another personal question about you? How can you do accurate readings, this is so interesting to me 🤔 I tried to learn tarot but it’s really hard to interpret the cards for me and you this with stones it’s crazy to me 🎀🎀

Wow just as yesterday I suddenly got the urge to find out more about ENTP 😂, I hardly ever see any ENTP around me 👀

For your question, it depends on the intuition and the style of each reader. And of course, for any reading to be accurate, there has to be querents who resonate with the reader and the reading. The reading can only be accurate if the querent finds the right reader for them and vice versa.

Personally, when I do reading, I almost blot out my "self" or my ego. I become a blank space that let words form and flow naturally in my mind. Very much like how interpreting a dialogue between two people works, I'm just a middle person standing between them to deliver the messages from one side to another without adding my own thoughts or opinions. Of course, how I interpret thing might be largely influenced by my own experiences and biases, which is unavoidable.

The process is actually pretty similar to taking a foreign language test. The first thing that pops into my mind is usually the correct answer. 9 times out of 10, if I try to think more logically about it and choose a different answer, I will be wrong. So try to catch that first thing, first image, first thought. To do this at first might be a little difficult because you might be busy remembering the meaning of the cards and how they connect to each other, an active mind can actually hinder the intuitive process. With more practice, you will get used to the cards, gradually things will just click automatically in your mind.

I hope my answer was of help to you somehow. If you have more questions, feel free to tell me.

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?

1. Carnelian

The Carnelian stone, which represents this group, looks like a heart with The Moon stone right above it, open, its dark side is exposed, making the impression of a heart broadcasting something. I can see that this person has an open heart. They put their vulnerability on an open platter for you to see. They had been hurt in the past, their heart is full of scars, but they don't hide it. It takes great bravery to do that, and you will love them for it.

They know how to move on from past hurt, from pains, especially in relationships. They didn't become pessimistic because of it. They have learnt the lessons and are ready to do better in the future. You won't see bitterness in them, they're probably the kind that don't talk bad about their ex, even if that ex had hurt them badly. This trait will also be clearly felt when you two have arguments or in conflicts. They may be angry, you may shout at each other, but they will cool down and think rationally about the problem and ready to solve it together with you, no passive-aggressive actions. After that, they won't bring it up again in the future just to make you feel bad.

Part of the reason why they can bravely face the conflict and move on is because they can detach their mind from the conflict, able to see it from many viewpoints. They are fully aware of their emotions, but they don't let them run amok and cloud their mind. They give equal respect to both emotion and rationality. At times, they can even appear a little cold or detached, too logical, but you will still admire that about them or even find it attractive.

They could have a very unique beauty or what is considered classic beauty but put a creative spin to it. The kind that stands out, or at least in your eyes, you will always be able to find them in a crowd. Not exactly because it's so exceptional but because it shows individuality.

I don't think they are a conventional person, something about them is going against the grain of society. They are a free thinker, the way they think and speak is unique and beautiful. It's full of wisdom and maturity. You can learn a lot from them. Their advice is kind and considerate and you will feel their love through it.

Above all, you love their compassion for life. They are a humble person, despite their talents and wisdom, they don't go around lecturing and ordering people. They understand that everyone has their own problems and fears, so even in conflict, they won't go out of their way to demolish the other person. They have the mindset of 'Live and let live'.

Being with them will make you feel peaceful, understood, and free. At times, it will feel like a gentle breeze blowing through your hair in the middle of a field, at other times, it will feel like sinking yourself into the tub, warm water washing away all of your fatigue.

2. Tiger's eye

I get a feel that this person spoils you a lot. They would try to fulfil your every wish, as long as it's in their ability. It could be buying you gifts, cooking your favourite dishes, helping around the house etc. They just know how to make you feel safe and satisfied.

They are generous and dependable. A part of them is very adventurous while another part of them is more traditional and liking structure. This traditional part is likely shown only in close relationships. You can feel that they treat you more specially, more preciously, they put serious intention into the relationship with you.

They could be a little clingy? wanting to be with you at every moment, somehow the old song 'I don't want to miss a thing' by Aerosmith comes to mind. You may complain about it sometimes but I think secretly, you do enjoy that kind of behaviour. It shows loyalty.

They would like to take the more dominant role in the relationship, wanting to lead and plan ahead for both of you. If you are someone more on the passive side, this will make you more at ease. Beware of the tendency for 'laziness' and 'dependency' though, since they take on the more active role and like to do things more.

The way they talk, it's smooth and has a sway to it. They could give you lots of compliments, not the shallow, generic kind but the kind that unique only to you, makes you feel that they pay attention to every small detail about you. They sure know how to flatter your ego a bit and make you feel more confident in yourself.

Whatever darkness is hiding in your closet, they will pull it out for you, gently, persuasively, do a spring cleaning and give you a better perspective on those issues. You may feel resistant at first, but gradually, with time, you will come to appreciate their doing this for you. They could buy you a house but they'd rather help you build your own house.

Another thing you love about them is their passion, it's spontaneous and out of the blue, like electricity. Things are planned in such an unplanned way that you will be surprised every time. Being with them will feel safe but never boring.

You guys may also communicate a lot through dreams or other psychic means. The connection has a strong spiritual side to it. You and them both intuitively know what the other person is thinking without many words spoken. It's a silent understanding, a link between two spirits.

3. Aventurine

I get a sense of candidness from this person. They have a style of expression that is both soft, childlike yet wise and mature at the same time.

They have a dry or wacky sense of humour that you love. It touches other's insecurities in such an odd way that make others feel at ease and safe with them. For example, you guys have to go somewhere dark but you have a fear of the darkness, instead of making fun of you for it, they will act all scared and jumpy and insist on holding your hand to calm them down, even if they don't actually scare of the dark. They can make fun of themselves and bring themselves down a bit to elevate the other person. You would have your fears gradually banished by being with them. They help you to be more courageous.

Even though they act like that, they don't seem to be someone that people can mess with. Maybe they have a very intimidating air about them. The way they deliver the jokes could be very deadpan. But it will make you laugh and make you feel protected.

This person doesn't have a big ego. They're self confident, as in being sure of themselves and that's for them is enough, they don't feel the need to go around imposing their will on other people, advertising their brilliance to get praise. In fact, this person is very down-to-earth, praise actually come naturally to them. Because of their sureness in themselves, they know where they stand in a relationship, what they want from a relationship, where the relationship is going, so they are decisive. They will tell you straightforwardly how they feel and what they want for the relationship. If there's a problem in the relationship, they will address it clearly to you and expect both of you to solve it together. You will love them for their honesty and their way of approaching everything.

They could be the best hugger. You love being hugged by them. Something feels soft and warm, yet sturdy. They may not be a big person but their energy is big. Even if their physique is smaller than you, hugging them will feel like hugging a big tree or a big teddy bear.

They are also very giving. They will share their time, their resources with you without second thought, or for some hidden motives. There could be a boundary issue though, you may sometimes feel that you guys have fused with each other, the boundary of what is yours, and what is theirs will be blurred. Maybe you're someone who likes to be one with your partner, then you could find this to be of no issue.

4. Clear quartz

This person seems like someone who is very good with words. They could be in the publishing, writing, or journalism. Or singing.

They are like a magician, there's magic in their work. They have an expansive inner world. When you get closer to them and take a peek inside their world, you will see its marvels, like a large reservoir, an inner creative power generator. They can translate that power into their works, works that can move many people. It comes with rigorous hard work, though. They are dedicated to whatever they're doing. They want perfection, mastery over it, whatever hard work is needed, they don't mind putting all in. That attitude is what makes dreams come true. And I think you can't help but fall in love with that.

They could seduce you with just words or their voice. The way they talk or sing can speak deep into your soul, pull out your hidden feeling. They could have a healing effect on you that you love. It makes you feel like being cocooned in a velvet blanket.

This person has a sensitive and intense soul. They don't love lightly. Once they are committed to someone, they will be there with that person through thick and thin, always preparing to face the storm together. You will love being loved by them. It's not a common experience. Love is not a common experience, of course. But being in love with them will have a depth that is hard to find with other people. They could make your past relationships feel pale in comparison. This person could show their love for you through physical touch and intimacy. It's when their love will find its rawest expression.

You will love them for for being a humanitarian. They care about the world, society, and people. What they're doing is not just a form of self-expression but also directed towards a bigger goal. They want to contribute to the greater good, to make changes and make people's life better. It may sound like some kind of lofty ideals, but actually they do believe in it. And their faith will be their power. You have fallen in love with a magician, so expect magic and miracles coming out of their hat.

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 🙏.

#ffa6c

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.
