Advice on YOUR goals!

Pick a card Tarot reading

Hii guys!!

How is May treating you?

We are getting closer and closer to the summer. It is crazy because it feels like Christmas was just Yesterday!? How come we are starting to leave the coats at home?!

I can’t keep up!

Time just feels to fly by differently, but maybe that is just one of the curses of getting wiser (I meant “older”, but “wiser” sounds better and it is still very much true!).

Anyways!

We are bringing you another interactive post, where you will be able to choose your own message! FUN.

This time around we are going to be reading for one of your main goals! If you would like to know advice from Spirit to get you closer to your objectives, as well as the most likely outcome (if the advice is followed) you might want to give this a read!

Just like before, you will have three options available to choose from. There is not right or wrong way to go about this reading! You should pause, take a breath in and think about one of your main goals! Ask yourself what would be beneficial for you to know about how you can get a step closer to that version of yourself.

To proceed reading this post you should feel called to at least one of the three options below! You may feel drawn to one, you may feel connected to many.

Alternatively, you might not feel inspired by any of the items. There is nothing wrong with that!! Maybe no message here would benefit you particularly and perhaps next time, it will be for you!

Disclaimer: This is a general reading, not a one-to-one! Take what resonates and leave what doesn’t. Due to the several people that will, hopefully, come across this post I will try to accommodate and give some examples of what the situations may be. It does not mean that everything I say is an accurate description of your life or personal goals. The examples are there to give the vibe of the energy!

In honour of Taurus season, and as a celebration of my fellow Taurus siblings, the theme of the items you can pick from are spring/summer picnic inspired. Because, it is just our vibe! Capricorn and Virgo might appreciate it as well. I guess!

Alright, you guys!

Pause here for a second and choose the pile(s) you feel connected with. If none calls your soul, no worries, we can part ways and meet in the nest post - I LOVE YOU! If you have one that strikes your heart, just scroll straight to it to be able to read your message about your goal!

Spoilers ahead! Do not scroll past this point if you have not picked your pile! Or do if you want to be a baddie. I ain’t your Mama!

This is a free publication so if you would like to support our work with a one off donation, you can do so here. It really helps us keep bringing these to you! But in all honesty, we just appreciate you being here.

Pile 1 - Apple

Beautiful people, hii!

How are you all doing? How is May treating you so far?

You felt called by the Apple! I don’t know about you, but I would be getting that apple if I saw it at a shop! Looks sweet, and refreshing! It could be that you hope to reap the fruits of your labour next on your goals journey, or even that something changes in a bit of sweet manner!

Or you know what?! Perhaps the apple alludes to Isaac Newton’s theory of universal gravitation and you feel you are in need of some kind of Eureka moment or for something to go smoothly, to be predictable! Just like an apple falling from a tree.

I like that!

Each card pulled represents a specific energy. As we dive deeper into it, remember to take what resonates and leave what doesn’t.

Right guys!

You can be a water sign or water sign heavy. Don’t worry if you are not, it is just that there is a LOT of water within the Cards. A lot of Moon, also.

Right moving on !

One of your current main goals is being depicted by the Waxing Gibbous Card and the Queen of Cups. Numerologically we have a 3 and a 2, which could allude to something that is being created to be shared. Maybe expansion of how you communicate, how you and/or your message are perceived and understood.

There is a goal that you have that you feel is taking shape, you have been working on it for a while. The word “reflection” in the oracle card, with the figure seeing their reflection in the water, makes me feel like you know what you want. The haziness of the reflection though makes me feel like something feels lacking or not exactly how you want at the moment.

It could be that your main goal is to spread the love, by making people love themselves, maybe irrespectively of which phase of life they are in, perhaps when they have no idea of WHO they are yet. Or even for people to love themselves irrespectively of their actual reflection in the mirror. Whichever one, I believe you went through it yourself and now aim to help people that have been in the same situation, as you know how soul, heart, and mind troubling it can be to dislike yourself in any way.

The Waxing Gibbous is the final stage before the Full Moon, SO LUNA is getting fully lit, so you know that something is ALMOST there. It may need some tweaks. I am not sure if this is about the way you look (maybe you feel you should “look a certain way” to be taken seriously?! - if so let’s leave these thoughts in the bin, shall we?!) , but it could definitely be the way you come across, or the way you are able to convey your message that you feel needs adjusting?! Perhaps, you feel you are not being fully heard, that people have yet to fully connect with your message, or that you have not found the people who would fully benefit from your much needed work!

You want to get to a point in which you see yourself, and others do too, as somebody who can help, who can heal, somebody who “has been there, done that”, and is able to communicate it, purely. Whether in the form of a mentor, a relationship coach, a coach (of any kind really), a psychologist, a writer, a doctor, a reiki practitioner, a counsellor, an astrologer, someone who speaks openly about their recovery, who knows?! In essence I feel you are a person who wants to inspire others with your story, with how far you have come, with your words, or with what you have learnt. I love it! In whatever way this may be!

All the cards in the reading, except the outcome card are Cups. Meaning that this is so heavily tied up to your heart, to your subconscious, your emotions, the connections you are able to make. Perhaps as well how you reach people, and how you come across, the way you express yourself. The way you feel reciprocated by the gifts you give out. And while I believe you feel that image is taking shape, you also feel like there is a missing puzzle piece? Maybe you feel like people do not trust in your ability to help them, yet?

This is a reading to see why you may not be fully there yet. Not that you won’t get there. I truly believe you will get to where you want to be!

The advice today is separated in what to avoid, and what to embrace! I believe it is easier to understand, and hopefully if this is something that resonates with you, easier to follow. You do have a very interesting combination of cards.

Embrace a youthful energy and avoid, being too serious perhaps. There is however, a number of ways in which this could play out for you.

Let’s start with what you should avoid (High Priestess) to get you closer to your goal. This does not mean, in any way, that this is a “bad” energy to have, however everything (even the good) when in excess can hinder us. Maybe you are seeking perfectionism, or maybe trying to explain something that you feel so deeply, but don’t seem to find the right words. While it has to do with our subconscious, our secrets, our deepest connection with ourselves or the “other side”; it is also individualistic, quiet, and perhaps lacks in the intention setting part of things. Perhaps you feel nobody would get you, maybe you find it difficult to articulate something so deep, or you may not believe in your ability to bring this seed to life.

The call here is to avoid keeping things too still, to speak up, to not allow things to stay just within yourself, especially if they are things you want to share. Maybe you feel you have to put on a “persona” so people take you seriously, or that whatever you share has to feel as if it came from some kind of “guru”. Release the need for that. Don’t be so serious. Avoid doubt, be vocal about your goals, do not keep them a secret. You don’t need to scream it from the roof tops but you can speak about them to your best friend, or even to your self, but do it “out loud”.

Do you think/feel that you have to look more “polished”? That you have to be the “Nº1 expert”? To show that you have climbed the mountain all the way to the top? In your case Spirit is calling for you to open up as you are, the learner, the one who dared to go on the journey, the explorer, the one who set things in motion. The one who got where YOU are! You don’t need perfectionism boo, you just need to show up as you are.

And believe me I am a perfectionistic gal’ myself and it hinders my ability to just put things in motion. It seems like there is always something that should be/look better, and the never ending spiral of adjusting everything starts… AND yes you guessed it! NEVER ENDS. Boring.

Embrace the way you are able to share. Embrace your inner child. Embrace your dreams, don’t keep them contained. Embrace curiosity, your creativity, and your artistic nature. The High Priestess brings a clear idea of your independence, knowledge, and intuition. This energy does not usually need anybody else to get the job done. You can do everything by yourself, that is a fact! But it could be that for the goal you have, connection and openness to other people would make it easier and, to be honest, more joyful. Embrace (if you see fit) opportunities that come from other people, whether they are younger than you, or fresher to the business you are in. And if not opportunities, people are uniquely and beautifully different and so are the ways we deal with challenges. Maybe connection brings you creative ways or new ideas on how you can tackle certain things that would get you closer to your goal.

If this is not about connection, this is about embracing openness, it is to embrace sharing your emotions, your message, your voice, your art. It is a call to embrace new experiences. Don’t keep it hidden. Take care of yourself always, but do not hide!

For instance, you have ideas for poems or paintings and, you keep them in your subconscious. Or you wrote them, painted them, and are hesitant to share them?! Embrace going for it as a child believes they can be an astronaut!

The beautiful thing is that you already possess these two energies, they are just miss-balanced at the moment. There is the keeping things too much inside, too much for you, maybe of being too serious. But you have such a jovial side to you that should be embraced when dealing with how you get to this goal. The one that dreams, that romanticizes, that tests the waters, that is curious, that opens up. Let loose a lil bit!

As an outcome (7 of Pentacles) if the advice is followed, the growth is there. There is a reaping of the fruits of your labour. Funny, because you chose the apple! So there is a whole vibe here of planting and harvesting! How nice! There is patience in this card, growth, even potential and reassessment. Perhaps the advice has to be followed more than once, or even over a period of time, for you to be able to understand how far it catapulted you forward in your goal journey; especially if it relates to money, assets, career; or your legacy.

You are so WONDERFUL and I hope you embrace your youthful side! Seriousness is a wonderful thing, but in doses! Open up a bit!

Happy Rest of Goal setting and achieving🍎

LOVE YOU SO MUCH!

Pile 2 - Picnic Heart

Hello my babies !!

I know I could have called this pile “heart”, but you know, it does look like a picnic towel. It gives me Italian vibes, like a full table full of fresh fruits and vegetables, in this picturesque house in the middle of nowhere, but surrounded by everything nature!

A girl can dream, hey! I believe the picnic part may not be very relevant ! But we carry on! I believe it’s tied up to the context of fulfilment and abundance, namely emotionally. Remember that our hearts can be exalted by all things life, THUS while we could have a goal here that is tied up to connections, it can be tied up to a project or milestone you are emotionally invested in.

Each card pulled represents a specific energy. Your main goal, the advice (where we will be exploring what to avoid and what to embrace), as well as the most likely outcome, if the tips that Spirit gives you are followed.

As we dive deeper into it, remember to take what resonates and leave what doesn’t.

Alright, my angels!

One of your main goals at the moment described by Jupiter (with the key word luck) and The Chariot! BIG energy!

Reading this could be Sagittarius, Pisces, and Cancer , or having these energies heavy in your charts. I would not worry if you don’t. I just felt called to bring forward Jupiter's exaltation sign (Cancer) and home signs. Moreover Chariot is a Cancer card, so this can be important for a selection of you.

The zodiac sign of Cancer is related to the Mother, the family, our foundations, the home, our physical bodies, and our ability to follow our instincts. It is a very nurturing sign. Perhaps your goal is to succeed in something you have been nurturing. Maybe to have a lucky break, or to feel victorious. The goal could be different depending on your situation, but lets try to extract the energy attached to it. Perhaps you have been working on a new routine, on a hobby, maybe you want to move house, move countries, move jobs, travel, or even that you are building your website (or working on your “brands digital home” - homepage), who knows!? Sounds exiting though! That I can tell ! Movement in a nutshell!

Chariot is victory, motions, speed! Combined with Jupiter, feels almost like you are at the end of a very tight river draining to a vast big beautiful ocean. Right now it’s as if you are in the tightest portion of a funnel not knowing when you will get the chance to perceive the “sea of opportunity” you so desire.

Jupiter is the planet of expansion, teachings. Perhaps there is something you are learning that you want to become savvy in FAST, so you can start monetizing it. Alternatively , you may know a lot about a topic already and want to take a diploma on it, so you feel more ready when working within a field. It could be that you want to expand your horizons in something, or you want to be victorious in something. You want an opportunity to be fully focused! Maybe you want a door to open so you can take that step forward and give it everything you got. It feels like:

- Universe, I know where I want to go, I just need ABC to fall in to place and I will crack on with my plans and projects!

It does not have to be as literal, but you get the point! Your goal is to set something in motion. Perhaps you would need some financing, or you are waiting on a approval from a school, a green light from somebody, who knows!? Truth is, some of you relate it to luck, others to a blessing, and few to the potential to be in a position where the sky is the limit!

Right!! Lets address the advice to get you closer to your goal.

For some is very simple rest and hold on to it. Especially if you already did what you can, and is out of your hands.

For others, there is another way to read this section of what to avoid (4 of Swords) and what to embrace (9 of Wands) and I will be able to, hopefully, explain what advice would benefit you most.

Avoid mental exhaustion, especially if you are too busy, too anxious, if something is too much in your mind. How can we balance resilience with rest? For others avoid giving up, avoid putting things to the side, avoid sleeping on opportunities. Avoid pausing completely. We all need to rest, I would never advocate for you not to take time for yourself, but there is a call here to avoid paralysis, or to avoid exhausting yourself to breaking point.

In all honesty the 4 of Swords could also be asking you to avoid being alone. Alone time is much needed! But when are we just avoiding being in the presence of people we love, because of trapping ourselves in the thought that if you are not in front of a computer or a book you are not working? Sometimes the book is open and we are doom scrolling, consuming memories of others instead of making our own.

The advice is to find a fine balance in perseverance, and not giving up; and having time to rest, to connect, to do self care, to spend time alone. How can I balance being in a hurry for something and having time to myself.

You are in this “final push” stage. And in my opinion this can be tough! Embrace not giving up, guys. Resting does not mean giving up. Resting does not mean stopping. As well as, perseverance does not mean overworking ourselves to the bone, it does not mean not taking care of ourselves, it does not mean not taking time to rest.

When the 9 of Wands appears it usually means that you are almost there, it is just a touch more. Don’t give up, angels!!

Following this advice, leads you to the 9 of Cups. I love this.

The outcome is the energy of emotional abundance, having your heart full in the best way! It is a card that represents having it your way. An energy of gratitude, of blessings, of a wish being fulfilled, or an objective being attained. A sense of satisfaction.

As an outcome it’s you “looking at what you have achieved”, being proud of how far you’ve come, feeling emotionally fulfilled about your new circumstances.

You are so close to something! Don’t overdo it, but also do not stop now! Keep going, even if it is 2 miles per hour! Movement is still movement, it is not about intensity. It is about continuing to persevere. Listen to your body, as well as the sound of success that is approaching you!

Happy blessing ahead!

You are amazing, truly ! I love you 💖☀️

Pile 3 - Star

Hello my stars!

I swear It was not on purpose that the 3rd option seems to be always a starry one, so far! Pile 3 has big goals, big dreams! Stars remind me of pentacles in Tarot. A clear symbol of protection against “more negative” energies, as well as a representation of the 4 senses in harmony with spirit.

Perhaps we want something to become more practical, more predictable, more consistent. Maybe you had a taste of your goal before, but were not able to keep it up for a certain period of time, or perhaps you wish to see results faster than you currently are? Is there a lot of competition in your field that you feel can hinder your shine? Do you want to be more confident about yourself or your gifts? Are we looking for some kind of seal of approval?

Who knows!

Lets keep digging! Remember that you don’t have to make everything fit.

Each card pulled represents a specific energy. One of your main goals, the advice (where we will be exploring what to avoid and what to embrace), as well as the most likely outcome, if the tips that Spirit gives you are followed.

For your main goal you do have a very interesting Oracle and Tarot combination (Leo and the 3 of Swords). This could be so different for each and every one of you!

It could be as direct as overcoming a creative block. However, it could be that you want to feel confident to get back in the dating game! Maybe you have been trying to expand your family and have been finding obstacles you would like to overcome. Perhaps, you have a creative project you know is worth applauding that you can’t seem to get off the ground.

Leo is the ruler of the 5th house, the astrological space of children (which, you know, our projects can also be our babies), creativity, sex, good fortune, gambling, and romance. Venus is in Her joy in the 5th, bringing themes of love, pleasure, value, and money even! SO YEAH! There is a lot here, and it could be playing out so differently for all of you.

One thing is for sure, with the 3 of Swords all of you may feel like there is “stuff” in the way that needs rearranging/fixing, or even “binning” in some cases! Something needs to be cleared for all of you, no matter how different that is individually.

Leo loves applause, and IT DESERVES it. There is nothing wrong about wanting to be praised by our work, to be noticed, to be respected, to be acknowledged, to be seen. Maybe your main goal is to be known for you writing, for you dancing, for your singing, the way you play an instrument, the way you act, the way you look. Who knows! There feels like there is this wanting for distinction in any field you are, by you bringing something new to the table! We cannot forget however, that this goal of yours could relate to a project you have been trying to take off the ground, or to a tough journey of conception (I love you, big virtual hug).

Right, so we know that at the moment your main goal is to overcome something that is dimming your shine, or that is in between you and your creative projects. The good thing is YOU HAVE SO MUCH POTENTIAL BOO!

For some, the obstacle is known, for others it could be still not fully acknowledged, like we know something does not seem to work, you just can’t figure out why. It feels stressing though, a lot! 3 of Swords is not an easy energy to deal with, especially because it usually talks about mental barriers, such as anxiety, disappointment, sorrow, fear, self doubt. At times we seem to be our own enemies. However this obstacle can be physical, such as money, time, or other.

If feels like this is a goal within a goal. You have a desire, you know where you want to go, but something is blocking it. Your main goal now is to overcome the wedge that seems to in between you and your milestone. For instance, you wrote a book and are afraid of sending it for appraisal; or you are an actor you has been rejected by agents and are afraid that that is never going to change. It could be a multitude of things. For some however, the obstacle is within your mind, dressed in doubt, insecurity, or vulnerability to be outside of your comfort zone.

It could be a creative block or a main goal that is difficult to attain. Maybe you saw something in social media like “follow my program to get where I am” and got hooked by it. And you are so creative, you been working so hard, reading so much and watching so many tips, so why haven’t you achieve the 10k followers? Or the money “they say you should” be making?

Maybe you are being sold a shortcut that does not exist.

Perhaps you are in a faking it until you make it type of path. However, there may be some opportunities that are missed here. Is your main goal to learn lessons on how to push through these challenges? You have so much talent, such creative energy, but maybe these hurdles make you doubt your potential? While talent is important, there is other ingredients needed. Perhaps you want to be a bestseller on Substack, be on a Tv show, being on stage, having your art piece in a gallery. I don’t know what it is, but you have this view of yourself and ALL the potential to get there; but maybe due to past experiences or current fears/insecurities something does not feel as straight forward. But at the end of the day, nothing is a straight line in life! Give yourself some grace!

RIGHT, the advice!

What to avoid? The Knight of Cups. What to embrace? The 7 of Swords. WELL, WELL, WELL, very interesting.

Are we trying to find a short cut for being successful in something? Are we wanting “fast results”? Are we comparing ourselves and our journey to the one of others? That goal description (Leo + 3 of Swords) could bring an idea of having this objective that is not realistic. Not because of the absence of your talent, but maybe because of the amount of time, effort, or strategy that is needed.

It seems like there is a call from Spirit almost to getting back to basics and turning off the dream world for a bit. Or at least to find a way to balance the two.

Nowadays it is very easy to search “how to ABC quick?” and get showered with videos of people that tell you HOW EASY it is to do it! In my opinion the majority of these videos are just regurgitations of books and attempts to sell you a PDF. The money of that PDF you buy is then used to show you a lifestyle of “somebody that is succeeding in what you want to do”. My point is we can be easily deceived online. Like:

- Download Canva and get rich next Thursday selling digital planners for your dog’s meals. Why are you still sleeping on this? Buy my program.

- If you are not using ABC to make 10k in your sleep you are missing out. It is that easy. Buy my course.

- I grew my Substack from 0 to 20k followers, here’s how I did it. Buy my course.

BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH.

I am not in any way saying that this is not possible. I am just saying that it is easy to feel like we amount to nothing when we do not have the same results when trying. I just feel like unfortunately if something feels INCREDIBLE, it is probably a lie, and people are preying into our deepest desires.

As an advice this is to avoid the “dream world”, the fantasy, the illusion. They are important, absolutely, but in doses. To embrace the 7 of swords is to embrace strategy, diplomacy, or even a new plan. It is a call to avoid things that look to good to be true and re-evaluate. Or even how can we turn a one time success into a LONG term PLAN !! It is to try and bring the mind into the party as well. For some of you it could be that there is a call to acknowledge the obstacle you face, even if it makes you feel vulnerable. The Knight of Cups could indicate that you tend to use rose coloured glasses when looking at something and the 7 of Swords that there is a self-sabotaging tone to it.

For instance, lets take me as an example. I am insecure about myself and I don’t want to appear on camera. While I feel like this would help my projects, I just can’t get myself there yet as many times as I think I should. Which is fine, but I have to understand that I have to re-evaluate my strategy or to go the the core of why this is such a big deal for me. It is like, YES MARTA, you have a vision of where you want to be, but that is simply not attainable without a proper plan or without work.

To embrace the 7 of Swords is to be strategic, is to be a “bit sneaky” if it needs be. It is to maybe find ways of dealing with fears and insecurities, it is to try and be confident and go for what we want. Embrace the people you trust, embrace doubting before trusting. Embrace creating your own plan and strategy to get to your goals. Embrace your responsibilities.

For some it could be a call for less dreams and more action. Less rose coloured glasses and more strategy. Perhaps a call to balance heart and mind. Be warry of people who want to sell you a dream, a fantasy, or a lifestyle, especially if it comes without work, without strategy, without a plan. Even romantic comedies have a script! We need one for our goals too!

When are you trying to make things look rosy? When should you go back to basics and evaluate what is not working and why? The issue here is not your potential to shine, to achieve to be applauded; because you ARE VERY TALENTED! FULL OF GREAT POTENTIAL! VERY MAGNETIC. ONE THAT DESERVES TO BE SEEN!

But how can we overcome our current challenge?

We should not stop and wait, or dream for when the obstacle disappears, we should be going back to basics, being honest with ourselves. How can we tap into our mental agility and overcome our current situation? How can we be real about it?

For instance, I had some years ago, Jupiter in my MC and I was so sad that “nothing was happening”. But what was I doing to create opportunities for expansion? Nothing! I could keep on believing that the big giant was going to bring my dreams to reality. But I did not have a plan to follow, nor was I giving different steps towards my goals.

You have so much potential. You are resourceful, you are strategic, you can research, you have the ability to face things head on. You are so capable to outsmart your challenges. Don’t blame lack of success on “people that sell you dreams”. You are in your path to achieve your goal. Be more real about your situation, embrace the facts, embrace the obstacles and how we can overcome them. How can we translate them in words.

As an outcome if the advice of going back to the “drawing table” , is followed, you have the Ace of Swords! Sweet!

You already had everything to get to this point, I just think that you have been distracted by people, “toxic positivity”, or consuming content that is just not helpful in your situation.

This card represents breakthroughs, new ideas, success when it comes to how to move forward. Maybe even the gaining of knowledge on how to overcome an obstacle that can be used to help others in similar situations. Ace of Swords is truth, not a dream. It is clear, it cuts through confusion.

Don’t compare yourself to others. You are doing just fine. You are so resourceful. Your dreams have an answer. We may not be able to have a short cut like others claim to have had! You can find your own. You can find your plan, your own breakthrough!

You are a star! Keep doing the good work, keep on shining!

Just get the plan on how you can shine indefinitely!

I love you so so so much 🌟⭐
