 Do you have any prejudice against astrologers?

 Thanks. I followed her. I know how to read tarot combining it with astrology. 🙂 
 I’ve had quite a bit of income From being an astrologer and tarot reader. 🙂 
 It’s bittersweet, and I don’t know how I would live without astrology. When I started studying it, a truly blossomed as a person. 
 The Empress in tarot is a symbolic card that represents fertility, feminine energy, and a connection to nature. She encourages creativity and growth, suggesting a period of development and prosperity. Often seen as a symbol of nurturing and emotional support, she reflects the maternal spirit. This card also signifies the power of intuition and the need to follow our instincts. When it appears in a reading, The Empress suggests new opportunities, harmony in relationships, and a deepening connection with oneself and the natural world.

 But @jack isn’t everyone’s life somewhat similar to that of the inventor of dynamite? Maybe not everyone kills people, but we all end up destroying something, and yet we still seek trophies because we can’t bear to see ourselves as we truly are. 
 Oct 8, 2024 - Although you may find it hard to express yourself in some ways, Leo, the one avenue that's completely wide open today is art. Difficult tension is laced with emotional insecurity, making it hard for you to express your feelings. If you feel that this is the case, find some other means of expressing these emotions. A large canvas and some paints will work quite nicely. 
 appreciate the completely unhinged people on here that keep me company while I can’t sleep 
 Amaterdam is great! 
 Tarot reading for beginners 

If you're just starting with Tarot, here's a simple guide to get you familiar with the basics:

### 1. **Choose a Deck**
   - The **Rider-Waite Tarot** is the most popular and recommended for beginners due to its clear imagery and symbolism. Other decks may resonate with you personally, but it’s a good idea to start with one that has easily understandable visuals.

### 2. **Understand the Structure**
   - Tarot decks contain **78 cards** divided into two main categories:
     - **Major Arcana (22 cards):** These cards represent big life events or spiritual lessons. Some well-known cards include *The Fool*, *The Magician*, and *The Lovers*.
     - **Minor Arcana (56 cards):** These are divided into four suits (*Cups, Pentacles, Swords, Wands*) and represent daily events or emotions.

### 3. **Get Familiar with the Card Meanings**
   - While it’s tempting to rely on guidebooks, it's important to develop your own intuition. Spend time with each card and think about what the images say to you. 
   - You can use a tarot guidebook for reference but practice associating cards with personal meanings.

### 4. **Practice Easy Tarot Spreads**
   - **One-Card Pull:** Start simple. Ask a question or focus on a situation, then pull one card for guidance.
   - **Three-Card Spread:** This is a good next step for beginners. Cards represent:
     - Past – What led to the current situation?
     - Present – What is happening right now?
     - Future – What could happen if things continue on the same path?

### 5. **Formulate Questions**
   - When doing a reading, ask open-ended questions rather than yes/no questions. Example: Instead of "Will I get the job?" ask "What do I need to know about this job opportunity?"

### 6. **Trust Your Intuition**
   - While learning the traditional meanings, it’s important to also listen to your gut feelings about the cards. Intuition often provides deep insight that a simple interpretation can’t.

### 7. **Journal Your Readings**
   - Keep a tarot journal to write down your card spreads, thoughts, and reflections. Over time, this helps you track patterns and deepen your understanding.

### 8. **Regular Practice**
   - Pull a card daily or do small readings for friends. The more you practice, the more comfortable you’ll feel.

Let me know if you'd like more specific guidance on spreads or card interpretations!
