Pluto In 7th House

How do you keep up with current events and expand your knowledge?

Hi love! Here are some of the best ways/resources I've found to stay updated on current events & lifelong learning:

Subscribing to daily newsletters like DailySkimm, The Morning, and Morning Brew for current events & news updates and industry-focused newsletters to stay up-to-date in my field (for me, I subscribe to Business of Fashion's Daily Digest, Glossy POP, and Vogue/Vogue Business's newsletters)

Read publications including New York Times, Wall Street Journal, BBC, The Economist, The New Yorker, etc., and more industry-focused publications for fashion/beauty/marketing & advertising/digital strategy daily (or at least 5 days a week)

Keep and work through a reading list for the quarter. I try to read at least two self-development/psychology/health and industry/career-focused books per quarter; sometimes, I'll throw in a biography, finance, art, history, philosophy, or literary book in too for more variety/to expand my worldly knowledge

Take at least 1-2 courses and certification classes per quarter (either through Google, LinkedIn Courses or Assessments, Youtube, Masterclass, Skillshare, Udemy, etc.)

Frequently listen to TED talks on YouTube and podcasts (mainly on Spotify & Apple Podcasts)

Attend virtual panels and talks in areas of interest

Have conversations with insightful people (mentors, colleagues, and the amazing individuals I get to call my closest friends)

Hope this helps xx

Hi, J! How do you "do" the channeled messages? I always was interested in the "process" behind the magic we see in your future spouse posts in general, but especially the channeled messages! They are so accurate and they touch our hearts so deep... It's alright if you don't feel like sharing or something, keep yourself healthy and happy! 😘💕

I’m really sorry for the late reply.

Channeled Messages

Disclaimer: I’m speaking from personal experience here, my experience might be different from other people’s. 

I don't know how other people define it or do it, but I personally see it as if you are being spoken to. I don't do it the way psychics do it, not to the point of being 'taken by a spirit' or 'speaking with the dead', I'm still undecided about anything too spiritual since I'm a practical person.

Since I use tarot for it; from my experience it's similar to reading tarot cards, you are still reading the energies. The difference is it's a lot more flowy; you let it flow through you instead of being so analytical and structured about it (that’s why some sentences do not make any sense). Plus, you use the first person point of view.

The messages come in two forms:

The words/sentences come up by themselves. Eg. "I have so much of you in my heart". This one is easy, the reader just has to pass on the message.

The message comes in the form of feeling, energies, whatever you call it; Eg. your chest feels heavy and full when you are doing the reading, you pick up on a desire to break away. For this one, sometimes the words just appear but sometimes the reader has to find the words for it.

Comparison

In a normal tarot reading you do about Person X, when you pick up on a desire to break away, you can simply say "X wants to break away from something, could be external control like a boss, religion, parents etc".

In a channeled reading, when you pick up on a desire to break away, you have to tune into it deeper to feel how Person X would describe it, how it might feel to them. This makes it exhausting.

The message is influenced by their personality

I.e whoever you are trying to channel. 

In one of my channeled readings; one person has an intense personality. I couldn't just write "I like you" because it felt wrong. It wasn’t enough. "I have an ocean in my soul and I want to drown you in it" felt better. The latter depicted the mix of intense emotions that came up in that reading.

In other words, the message is influenced by the entity's personality, so there is a lot more freedom to decide how you want to explain it in a normal tarot reading, than when you are doing a channeled reading.

Problems that can happen

1) Their personality does not match the topic

Let's say you want to do a sexual reading. Now, what kind of message can you get from a polite person if you ask them to talk about sex? What kind of message can you get from someone who does not talk dirty at all?

As a reader, I can see the images or scenes but I can’t find the words to describe it, no words will come out, because I can feel that the words I want to use do not match the personality of the person, so it feels wrong to say anything. But saying nothing means my querent will not get anything.

2) No message

Sometimes the person (whoever you are channeling) just does not want to talk about something. So in this case, I will get nothing. It feels like you hit a wall when you try to go deeper. The cards are there, you know the cards are supposed to represent something, but no info.

3) The reader does not have the words

For the messages that come in the form of feelings, sometimes I can't find the words to describe them. I can feel like there is a joke here, the teasing tone, etc but I might not be able to do it because I'm not funny (lmao) and I don't have the words. I can't just write "they like to make jokes".

Hence why when you look at channeled readings available online; some channeled readings sound right, but some sound a bit off. It's because the messages go through the reader's language skills (besides other factors I mentioned above). Channeled readings are hard to do to begin with, so I'm not looking down on anyone here, I’m in the same boat.

Conclusion

From my experience and observation, a channeled message is a mix of the entity's energy/words and the reader's language skills. It's a bit different from normal tarot readings, your freedom is a bit limited when you do channeled readings.

Important: The words I use in my channeled readings, may not all be the exact words the person uses when they speak, because I’m not them lol. But I do try to pick the words that have the closest meanings/nuances to their energy.

how to build a routine 🎀

#1 tip: be realistic! it isn’t realistic to go from not working out, not studying, and not taking care of yourself properly to working out for an hour a day and studying for 6 hours at a time overnight. think: what will you actually be able to do? don’t overdo it, failing an impossible routine immediately will just make you feel bad and you will be less likely to keep trying.

#2: similar to the first, don’t be afraid to start slow. don’t try to go from never working out to working out for an hour every day. it’s perfectly fine to start with 10 minutes a day, then 15, then 20, and so forth. same with things like studying. don’t expect yourself to be able to just jump into studying for hours without a break. start with a little at a time.

#3: goal setting. set specific goals day by day. for example, your goals today could be working out for half an hour, reading one chapter of a book, and finishing a class assignment. of course you may do more than this, but make a list of what you MUST get done today, and start with those things. also, set more than just physical goals. set mental ones as well. for example, you could say your goal for today is to incorporate something into your day that makes you feel fulfilled, whatever that means for you!

#4: as you’re starting out, try to incorporate small things into your routine that will boost your mood and keep you motivated for the rest of the day. for example, take time out of your day to do some yoga, bake, sit outside, pet your animals, whatever you may need to keep you going and finish what you need to get done!

#5: make a list of the things you want to get out of this routine. these things don’t need to have anything to do with the physical acts you want to do, like exercising or finishing a task. you could say things like “i want to learn to nourish my body more” or “i want to learn more about myself and my interests.” what do you want this new routine to do for you? what do you want to feel?

#6: don’t expect to feel motivated all the time. chances are, you will not. but know that discipline is much more valuable than motivation alone. once you make your new routine a habit, you will no longer need to feel “motivated” to get things done, because it will be second nature to you. consistency is key!

#7: realize that it’s okay to not always do as well as you would have liked to. there will be days where you’re not as productive or active as you had wanted to be or had planned to be that day. that is okay. understand that days like these will not ruin your progress, and definitely don’t give up on yourself or your routine because of them. pick yourself back up and come back better and stronger tomorrow.

What's your future spouse/partner like? A GENERAL, PAC READING 𓇼 by lairlonia

˚ ༘ ೀ⋆｡˚ PILE 1

NOTE: This pile uses 'HE' pronouns that pertain to a masculine appearance/trait/vibrancy and it does not limit to a person being male, pertaining to one's sex.

ANOTHER NOTE: No Tarot deck was used for this. Merely intuition and shufflemancy.

'He is so dreamy' is what I have heard from this pile from the beginning. Your future spouse/partner is masculine, likes to waltz or to play the piano. Taking this matter into account, it may be that loving you makes him feel like doing a waltz, in a big ballroom, you both dance and prance the night away. I see wine, dimly-lit dinner, he's sophistication in action no matter the class. Talking about the masculine, it is more of a trait/gender and not pertaining to their sex. He's artistic and most likely into Jazz. This person is more of a do-than-say.

He gives of 'Paris, Texas' by Lana Del Rey and 'Generique' by Miles Davis. They seem to be the type you're waiting for, the one you want to spend your whole time with. He's advanced with the mind, sort of, however he does it deliberately as he wants to know. Hmm… he's that type that likes to roll up his sleeve as maybe to appear sexy, to appeal to people/his image, or he's merely a busybody using his hands.

This person is most likely a dark-haired one, a brunette maybe. Around the same height of yours (I actually got disappointed smh jk). A total rarity, somewhat, as they prioritise themselves and remain an open body language yet they remain reserved. 'Hands to myself' by S. Gomez, that's what! Also has Gemini, Sag, Scorpio and/or placements.

They have a knack for soul music too or rock. If he's young, he's skinny. If he's old, he's a hunk. That's all I've got to say, ladies. Haha!

NOTE: Tarot deck used was Star Spinner Tarot.

Blond, short hair, likes to play.

Well, if you ask me, 'Lonia, what do you mean by they like to play?' Choose one word that you felt appealed more to you:

SPORTS

VIDEO GAMES

If it's video games, let me give you a hint: they like Overwatch. If it's sports, Soccer or Rugby union. Androgynous energy in here! Maybe somewhere from Iceland, a native or a current tourist and likes to travel; so there may be a chance that you two will bump into each other when having appointments and such.

To be frank, their zest is that life seems to treat them swell and most likely coming from an upper class family or a family with nurses in it. Not much tied to it, they are not strict, but this person can be easily intimidated most likely an impact by how they were raised.

Can I say that maybe for other individuals in here, you might get a mestizo? Only pick those that have grown to resonate with you at this moment, darling. Mestizo, mestiza. Especially leans to those who are interested in men, def a mestizo. I have no stepping thoughts about this, however, they are hard to read or merely a complex individual. For example, if your first thought is that he likes wine. Uh-huh, think again, honey. Kidding. More about his facial reactions anyway. You can't tell, you have to ask them straightforwardly. They don't allow pussies in their life anymore.

Most likely a people pleaser too! Not really a good thing for them, but their community appreciates this person as they are helpful, indeed. No doubt I keep on hearing 'fallen star'. Not 'fallen angel'.

Oy vey, poor them. They're pleading for help however they cannot seem to utter a word. I won't get deeper into this matter, however, yes, they do have their own creative pursuits although they love moving with their feet and legs so I assume there is some Pisces/Aries (Capricorn maybe as well) placement in their chart or a literal child of Neptune/Mars.

SIDE NOTE: If you want to get their vibes, it is most likely like 'Every man gets his wish' by Lana Del Rey.

Different religion from you, maybe? I sense a brunette too. Haha, this is so random but so are they! They're like my friend with an Aries rising. I cannot deny, darling, they are a great company. You'd like them. They like to clash interests with other people however one thing they do not like to clash is their FIXED SCHEDULE. They definitely like to stick to their schedule especially with those who are resonating with this androgynous vibrancy we have.

If you're not a legality (18+) DON'T READ THIS: your person is a FREAK in the sheets amen!

That's all I have got to say, please do not attack me if you did not like the last part lol.

NOTE: Tarot used was Star Spinner Tarot and a little of shufflemancy.

Energetic as fuck. Holy shit, what the fuck did they consume?

I can say is a Virgo or has Virgo placements but they like to blabber in their mind! Has a dream of opening a bakery especially with their lover. For no reason. They like to act on their whims very much, you can compare them to Frau Sally Bowles, no matter the gender or sex. They will make you feel eternal happiness inside, like a happiness of a child, it can end yet it'll linger. They leave great impact in any way to people especially the most intimate you. They're so fucking giggly oh my god make it stop (jk).

If you're here, you're most likely looking for a change in life. They'll definitely change your life, way further than what you can expect with your perception. Like, exactly, what I have said---they'll widen your scope! In any affairs of one's life. They know how to make people good and if the people outside of your scope may look at them as average or ordinary, what they'll make you feel will be extraordinary. They're the song 'After the Storm' by Kali Uchis and Tyler, The Creator.

Wait, I have a genuine hint: they have the vibes of collaboration tracks by Kali and Tyler, TC. I swear to 'em I am not lying!

It seems to be in their genes to be optimistic as fuck. I have no idea with this person, but I like them. With their looks, no matter the gender or sex, they remain to have this share of soft features and a little lack of masculine features as feminine features seem to shape the face. They have quite the baby face too. However, they might be younger than you, and that says a lot! For some, they're old, however their energetic trait seems to die down that depends on your age. Despite what they look like, people mistaking them for a high schooler at the age of 21, they're into R&B and Indie/Alt. Something like Clairo or Kali Uchis.

They can appear to be a trendsetter yet they most likely got easily influenced and/or wanting to deliberately change their shit and/or subconsciously changing their style. However, I suppose their talent is being the definition of 'Fashion'. They are a response most of the time, they're never a style. However that seems to be their most appeal, they adapt to their own new environment easily and/or in a brisk pace without even knowing and with this, they appear to have similarity with the person they are talking to and therefore easily creating connections.

Please do not take this seriously! Haha. This is a general reading, for the reader (YOU) to take note.

I appreciate you for reading! Bisous! xx

_ 𝓂anifest while you sleep 💤

humans sleep around 7 to 8 hours every day. most people think that their body is resting while they sleep, but that’s not true. subconscious mind is still working, when your conscious mind shuts down.

─── more theory. .

when you drift off to sleep, it’s easy to impress the subconscious mind because the conscious mind isn’t working. your subconscious mind accepts the ideas impressed upon it & will manifest them into reality.

─── how to manifest while you sleep .ᐣ

1 . visualise your desired thing, repeatedly until you fall asleep,

2 . affirm your affirmation(s) repeatedly while falling asleep,

3 . listen to subliminals as you fall asleep & during your sleep,

4 . script or read scripts just before going to bed,

5 . listen to recorded scripts while failing asleep & during your sleep,

6 . listen to affirmation tapes while falling asleep.

Build yourself a sustainable routine for 2024

you don’t have to schedule all your habits for everyday. Some habits can be for twice a week or thrice a week. If you can’t read 10 pages everyday, don’t fret. Try to read 1 chapter a week. Then slowly progress to 2.

do not be intimidated by accounts like mine. I post a lot of tips but I follow only the ones I know work for me, even if those tips are great. I share a lot so that different people can make use of them. Just because tip A works better for me than tip B, doesn’t mean that tip B is useless. Someone else could find B more useful than A.

How do you know you’re building a sustainable routine?

here are some indicators:

⭐️ the habits are “portable” for the most part - you do not need to be in specific places to execute them (you can read anywhere, you can workout in any hotel, etc).

⭐️ you’re able to follow all your habits at least 80% of the time in a month. Which means out of 30 days, for 24 days you are able to follow your habits. ⭐️ they don’t stress you out. It doesn’t make sense to procrastinate over your habits. The point of the habits is to reduce procrastination and improve yourself. If you’re stressing over it, go back to square one and start small.

⭐️ you are able to see that you’re improving. Maybe you’re feeling more confident, self assured and resilient. Whatever your end goal, it is important to understand that you won’t go from being, for example, under confident to confident overnight. It will happen gradually. Noticing your progress and complimenting yourself for the gradual change is important because then you’re validating yourself for the healthy changes you make. When you validate yourself as opposed to someone else validating you, you are acknowledging the hard work you have put in- this increases your motivation to do even better and to stay disciplined.

⭐️ over time, the habits come to you naturally. Let’s say meditating. You become so used to meditating that not doing it is like not brushing your teeth in the morning. It becomes a part of you and you accept and embrace it instead of dreading it.

⭐️ yes, you will have tough days. You will have days where you want to give up. It is important to schedule at least 2 mental health days a month for yourself where you can choose to do absolutely nothing and just relax. You are human, not a machine. Sometimes you need to push through those tough days and get things done anyway. There is a balance between resting and working hard.

⭐️ you eventually do not feel guilt or shame for prioritising yourself and your routine first. This is the most important indicator. You do not put any boy, friend, anyone (unless it’s an emergency of course) above you. You know you are your most important person.

Communicating With Deities

How do I communicate with my deity?

How do I know if a deity is trying to reach me?

How can I tell if my deity accepted my offering?

How can I receive messages from my deity?

The topic of communicating with deities is the question I get asked the most so I figured it was time to give it its own post. Especially because this question doesn’t have an easy answer.  It’s not as simple as learning to give an offering or how to devote yourself to a deity. There’s no step by step, made for everyone and every deity, guide to communicating. Its ultimately something you have to figure out yourself, though I can offer some help in ways to go about figuring it out. But first I want to clear some things up about communication with deities. I feel there are a lot of misconceptions that surround it and I also need to explain WHY it’s a topic I can’t give you an easy answer to. So let’s get to that!

Faith- So I’ll admit that the obsession that a lot of people have with communicating with their deities confuses me. When I started I didn’t really think much of the hows of interacting with Aphrodite because I, just like with any other religion, assumed that I had to have faith that Aphrodite was listening. I feel like a lot of people are missing that, like being a Hellenic Polytheist means you have constant, consistent, and direct messages from the gods, but that’s not the case. Faith is still an element and honestly it remains an element even when you have been devoted for years. You’re not always going to get confirmations on things you do or ask, actually most of the time you don’t. You just have to have faith they are there and listening

Tumblr - This point is directly related to the first point. I believe that a lot of the misconceptions of communicating with deities and even the obsession with it has a lot to do with our community here on tumblr. I’m not here to accuse anyone or point any blame. I’m not even saying that people are lying or exaggerating. I just think because of everyone sharing their wonderful experiences it’s creating an image of communicating being a natural part of a devotee’s everyday life with their deity. I mean maybe it is for some, but not all. Honestly, a lot of what you are looking at on tumblr are snapshots of worship. Maybe that devotee received an AMAZING sign or message from their deity but perhaps that was the first one in a few months. The truth is, just like with most aspects of our lives, we like to share the fantastic on social media, so don’t take everything you read as the “normal” or the “standard” of devotion. The truth is there really isn’t one and definitely not one for communicating with deities.

Skills - It’s important to keep in mind that communicating with deities can be seen as a skill. And just like with any skill there are those who are “naturally gifted” and others who have to practice practice practice in order to see any results. This is also a reason why you shouldn’t look to others’ experiences as the way it works for everyone. They could be one of those naturally gifted people who are just born tuned into the god frequency or they could also have been practicing and doing a lot of work to get the point where it’s easier to receive messages. So those of you starting out shouldn’t automatically think you will begin getting signs and messages right away, it most likely will be something you have to work towards.

Deities Communicate Differently - A big reason it’s nearly impossible to say how or if a deity is communicating with you is because they do it in different ways. The way Aphrodite and me communicate may not be the same way she communicates with another devotee. A lot of it depends on the devotee. We each have a way of communicating that we will be more receptive to, whether you know it or not. Your deity might know that and choose to use that form, even if you haven’t exactly figured that out yet (fun, right? lol). A deity also may choose a way to communicate depending on the message they are trying to send you. They could also pick a way simply because they find it amusing and/or ironic (i’m looking at you, Hermes). It’s really hard for someone on the outside to tell you for sure how your deity is going to interact with you specifically. I can’t speak for the gods and I can’t speak on your personal relationship with them. Again, it’s something you have to journey through and find answers to yourself.

Now that the bad news is over with, how about I give you some good news? As I said above, I can give you some advice/tips on ways you can figure out how to communicate with your deity yourself. Remember this is a process, a journey, it’s not a faucet. Doing one of these things isn’t going to automatically start the flowing of messages. Just keep that in mind! Now onto the list!

Divination - Probably the most popular form of communication with deities is using some form of divination. There’s A LOT to choose from so do your research and see what calls out to you and give it a try! Some examples are tarot, oracle, runes, pendulum, scrying, bibliomancy, shufflemancy, just to name a few.

Meditation - I strongly recommend everyone try meditation because there’s a ton of benefits to it and one of those benefits is connecting with your deities. Not only can you receive messages and signs while mediating, the act itself opens you up to be more receptive in your everyday life!

Astral Travel - This is another popular method used to communicate with deities. Many people talk about not only receiving messages from their deities, but also full on interaction with them. Make sure you do your research before attempting it! It also may help to practice meditation first.

Dreams - Okay so this is one of the easier ones on the list to do. Basically start recording your dreams and see if you notice anything either popping out at you or that’s repeating. Sometimes your deity may just simple show up like “hey, what’s going on? You dreamin?” but other times they aren’t that obvious (why would they make it easy on us?). Recording your dreams is a great way to notice patterns because sometimes it can take multiple dreams to get a message. This applies to the universe as well. Like it took me a good chunk of my life to realize that when the universe wants me to pay attention it throws an abundance of something in my dream, where I’ll be like “shit thats a lot of elephants!” and then another dream years later “What is with all these fucking spiders!?”. Keeping a dream journal makes it easier to notice things like that. You can also ask your deity to appear in your dreams if you so choose (of course whether they do or not is up to them). Also if you’re into it you can use herbs and stones to better receive messages in your dreams and to remember them when you wake up.

Journaling - Anyone who has been a follower of me for awhile can probably tell you that my answer for most things is “Keep a Journal” and they are probably eyerolling me right now, lol! But I really believe in the benefits of journaling because they are abundant! I won’t go into all of them because we are talking about communicating with deities and damn it I WILL stay on topic! Just like recording your dreams, recording your waking life can help you spot patterns and possible signs that you might miss otherwise. If you’re like me and interact a lot with your deity through emotions and feelings, journaling is truly wonderful! You can start making connections between actions and your emotions that could help you better understand your deity. I also recommend doing this even if you choose to do one of the other ideas listed above. Recording your progress and your emotions is great for looking back on and seeing how far you come especially in those moments when you feel like you haven’t done much. So yeah, everyone keep a journal!

Open Yourself - So those of you who are witches don’t really need much explanation on this and honestly you might have already started on this one, but for the sake of those who might not know let me explain. There are different ways you can better open yourself up so receiving messages can be easier. Using certain stones, burning certain herbs/incense, using oils, casting spells, doing rituals, etc. There’s a lot you can do to help open yourself up to the universe! And these aid a lot in the techniques above!

Talk To Others - I know what you’re thinking “Wait, didn’t you say that looking at what someone else does is part of the problem?” Yes, i did, but it can also be helpful as long as you find the balance! Seeing how other devotees of your deity interact with them can at least give you ideas and a direction to go in. The key is not to compare and to not see their devotion as the “one true way”. Think of it more as a brainstorming session!

I just want to add that this post is my own personal opinion and personal reasons why I feel I can’t answer questions of this topic. I hope this post was helpful to those of you who took the time to read it!
