Nodes of The Moon in the astrological birthchart
Nodes of The Moon in astrology are the points that show us direction in life.
North node is often our biggest challenge with greatest rewards – nope, it’s not always money, let’s not get caught up in capitalist lies – and what may bring more fulfilment in the long run. Fulfilment is not tied to our material world, necessarily – this is the beauty in an astrological configuration, everything is unique to each person. Sometimes this growth and fulfilment can be very uncomfortable, however. It can also become an obsession – we may want the enlightenment so badly that we forget wandering on the path itself.
The South node is often our crutch and the type of behaviour that gets us stuck in loops and more of an easy way out. In a more positive sense the South Node can show past life gifts and even ease, but often they come with a cost of stagnancy and comfort zone aka little growth. It’s important to learn how to integrate these. Acceptance is the key to moving on and moving up.
In this introductory video to the North Node and South Node I share different meanings & backgrounds in depth to the practise of using the lunar nodes / nodes of the moon in astrology.

The last couple of years have brought in a boom in astrology resources and astrologers with the information era, that some may call the Age of Aquarius. When I started learning and practicing astrology for real real, it was somewhere around 2017, I was already practicing witchcraft and reading tarot cards, and since I was pretty damn depressed I didn’t have much else I could find the energy to put into, aside from creating some youtube videos and taking some instagram pictures. I wanted to deepen my witchcraft by making it more me – making it more cosmic, true to a starseed, by adding astrology into the game. It wasn’t just about new moons and full moons anymore, it was about meteor showers and transiting planets, astrological eclipses having a big role in how my life started to change in the coming years. To this day, the importance of astrological eclipses is significant in my reality creation, and I find myself making big turns in those times.

Even though this beginning to my astrology journey was only 4 years ago, I got pretty deep into these studies, and had the side of tarot symbolism to support my journey. It was easy to learn another language, another symbolic way to interpret the signal and symbols of the universe, to tap into the consciousness of the One and All, as per filtered through the Higher Self. Back then I didn’t have all of these words, but I was highly tapped into energy in general. I knew energy was behind everything. Something was there. More words to describe energy came through my studies with astrology. There were a few people I watched on youtube who inspired me to go deeper. I wanted to understand myself and other people. I wanted to understand the Universe – why things happened and how things could go. I learned from many people on many other platforms too, including Tumblr, Instagram, Witches Amino and even Facebook. I read books, to mention a few: The 12 Houses*, Astrology for Dummies*, Eclipses: Astrological Guideposts*, Astrological Transits*…
Youtube was a big one, however, and still is to this day – which is where you’ll find my video for learning astrology fast. It’s way quicker and easier now with all of these resources, even when I started there was a lot of information, but now, in 2021? There’s even more, imagine being like, older, well post-Saturn and having had to learn this in bookstores and libraries and *gasp*… actual classrooms? The times have changed. I wanted to make this video for 10 tips to learning astrology in depth, faster, so that you can get an understanding on what it takes and how it works. I have some weird tips in here that you may have not heard about, but it’s very energy based and in that way hands-on and practical, even though my style is not the most practical out there. I’d say it’s practical-magical, if anything. Haha.
Let me know how it helps you out 🙂

This blog post on Astrology, Divine Timing and the Multiverse was originally inspired by a post I saw shared on a friend’s facebook. Thanks Richard!
The best time to wake up and get out of bed is ALWAYS. It was yesterday, it is today and it is tomorrow. There’s always a lot of high frequency energy to tap into.
– Alvia Crescens
While some dates may be more energetically charged than others – like astrological transits and portal days like Lion’s Gate and astrological lunar and solar Eclipses – there’s energy coming in and moving around at all times through the multiverse, into our whole existence. You do not need to wait for a specific date of an astrological transit to bring all of these energies to you. The multiverse is always available to you. The dimensions are always there.
All you need to do is tap in.
Work with it.
Practice.
This does not mean that astrology is invalid or incorrect, I actually had a short back and forth with my friend Krista Raisa about 2012 vs 2020 and how it seems that the collective is questioning authority etc and how much that fear pressure energy isn’t really working out in the favour of those who truly want to raise the consciousness. Questioning the authorities really lines up with the Pluto Jupiter Saturn conjunctions in Capricorn and Saturn and Jupiter moving into Aquarius. So in a way this might be a divine timing for all of that restructuring of these paradigms.
When I talk about fear & pressure energies, I’m talking about people trying to get you into thinking that there’s some kind of divine pressure (??? Is that even possible???) that some teachers are preaching which may even come across as fear porn, “this is the year!! You’ll miss out!!”-type energy… I’m not talking about addressing important conversations like human rights – those are similar in a way that they need to be addressed consistently. The most high vibe action is making sure that your fellow humans and non-human animals are ok. For the highest good of all.
Divine timing then? This is where the ego really needs to step back. In a way I personally do not believe in the complete dissolving of ego (I’m willing to be challenged) but I see this as higher self override and embodiment so that the ego is no longer so loud.
To see divine timing and where it is happening, the ego needs to step back in order to really see what’s happening, from a distance. Before that can happen we usually need to process emotions especially when it’s a painful experience. Divine timing is something that isn’t all dark or light… It really is all. It may show up similarly through transits, but it could be on a damn astrological retrograde as well! And then you wonder, wow I took that chance on a retrograde and it went so well. Or you end up with regrets as you didn’t because it was a retrograde… so, perspective.
When you work from a potential, potent, powerful energy instead of dreading the retrogrades or Mars squaring Pluto and instead go where the energy flows, you don’t need to wait for that “life changing transit”. They’re all life changing if you want them to be. Magic is everywhere.
The Solar Eclipse in Gemini this June 2021 marks the beginning of a new pathway taken by our higher selves, when it comes to the house that in our birth charts that it’s in, as well as a few other houses that are connected to it and the planets that are transiting other Zodiac signs currently. The effect of this eclipse and the processes started by it will come around 3-6 months, some culminations may be quicker, some slower. It all depends on how you’re utilising this energy wave.
The signs most affected, but not only, are Gemini, Aquarius, Pisces and Taurus. Especially those of us who have more than one of these in our charts and those of us who have our Sun, Moon and/or Rising sign / Ascendant sign in these, are feeling this. Mutable signs (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, Pisces) will also be feeling this especially strong, and so are fixed signs (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius).
We are looking at the following transits: Solar Eclipse in Gemini – Sun, Moon and North Node in Gate 45, Mercury Retrograde in Gemini in Gate 45, Saturn in Aquarius Retrograde Gate 13, Neptune in Pisces Gate 36 and Jupiter in Pisces Gate 55 connecting to Venus in Cancer in Gate 39 as a Channel of emoting. All of this and more is discussed on the youtube video report I created.
Make sure you watch the introduction on my Youtube channel so that this information on my blog makes sense. Diving into Astrology and Human Design per each rising sign in depth… GO!
Aries:Solar Eclipse & Mercury Retrograde Gate 45 in 3rd house, Saturn Retrograde Gate 13 in 11th House, Neptune Gate 36 in 12th house, Channel 55-39 in houses 12 & 4
The events started by this Solar Eclipse may bring about new ways of relating to wider collectives and friend groups, both small and wide, old and new. The connections made in the next few months may bring such transformations that the constant seeking of knowledge outside oneself is disappearing. Friends can provide so much valuable knowledge at this time, where no book can compare. Meanwhile, some older peer associations and friendship situations that simply no longer last are going away, as the past associations and situations are challenged and Neptune is bringing more clarity to this. The downloads that the Aries folx are getting at this time can provide assistance in solving problems of the past as well as channel wisdom in regards to timelines with people they’re coming into contact with or re-introducing themselves to. Home environment and inner world, inner compass recalibration while harmonised, is going through adjustments based on the wealth of knowledge pouring in from the Divine realms and how that is integrated and worked with to the current & future self and their timelines. Repressed emotions should be released and worked through, with these energy alignments this should be rather easy though.
Taurus:Solar Eclipse & Mercury Retrograde Gate 45 in 2nd house, Saturn retrograde gate 13 in 10th house, Neptune Gate 36 in 11th house, Channel 55-39 in houses 11 & 3
Gathering of resources and including other people and new tools in career matters is a theme for Taurus people. There may be big shifts in how income is diversified and revamped so that it will serve the legacy and future professional goals. The pondering of how others will be impacted by future career choices may come about as one’s potential is finally seen and an opportunity to connect more and hear more gets enhanced. There could even be a chance to have a whole new income stream to delete old debts and drains to income. Simultaneously, relations to wider collectives and certain friendgroups may go through crises and emotional challenges which have to be balanced with. Connections with peers and old friends are harmonised – localities go smoothly, and end up supportive of the bigger dreams, but there may be a rough start or simply a shock (not necessarily in a negative / harmful sense). Misunderstandings must be clarified with both new and old associations, especially when they relate to work and money. Do the inner work when it comes to your communication and thought processes – this could be a big reason why some things might have been hard to manifest.
Gemini:Solar Eclipse & Mercury Retrograde Gate 45 in 1st house, Saturn retrograde gate 13 in 9th house, Neptune Gate 36 in 10th house, Channel 55-39 in houses 10 & 2
The Higher Self, new self expression and image upgrades are all a big theme for Gemini folx in the next few months. This new radiant expression attracts the right crowd and possibly repels the old ones who simply don’t fit into the picture. Old ways of learning and relating to the outer world are revised and furnished. Recognise, where you let yourself be limited by so called restrictions of the outer world (but don’t do anything silly, ok?) and break out of those containers. Gemini people will also have a change to draw in more revenue sources and work on their legacy and big picture career goals. Widening of the legacy is amplified with the harmonising effect of Venus in 2nd house. Make sure you know what you can do best – do not settle for jobs that you are just ok at. Join things that you value, as the gate 39 challenges us to create a harmonious inner world to draw in everything that gate 55 can offer. This transit affects you beautifully, but remember to work through it with your highest self and highest potential harnessed, in order to let all of this beauty unfold.
Cancer:Solar Eclipse & Mercury Retrograde Gate 45 in 12th house, Saturn retrograde gate 13 in 8th house, Neptune Gate 36 in 9th house, Channel 55-39 in houses 9 & 1
While it may feel like the past just won’t let go, there may be hidden treasures to be discovered there, while a new sense of peace is found with the past. Old routines are being weeded out in order to find more quiet time. Busy work is diminishing, rejuvenating solitude enhanced. There is a way to find a peaceful work rhythm. In the next few months, Cancers gotta let themselves be heard. A way to clear repressed emotions, thoughts and situations can bring the Cancerians to a whole new way of expressing oneself and with Venus transiting 1st in Gate 39 it is supportive of the inner work & self development which can really boost the spiritual expansion and growth of one’s world. A healing crisis may be likely at this time though considering Neptune’s position, so just let yourself lean in and work with it. Take some down time if/when you need it. Psychological issues can be worked through by revising any structures that one’s mind has built around and upon itself in order to get protection – many fears are vanishing, but they may be faced head on first. These layers are being worked on.
Leo: Solar Eclipse & Mercury Retrograde Gate 45 in 11th house, Saturn retrograde gate 13 in 7th house, Neptune Gate 36 in 8th house, Channel 55-39 in houses 8 & 12
Friendship groups are tightening for Leos, and the compassionate exchanges are bringing purposeful pieces of the puzzle together. These people are helping us solve many issues in regards to bigger challenges that not just our circles, but our world at large has had to deal with. There can also be gatherings when it comes to big goals of ours, bucket list items, so to speak. The key here is to allow that union to happen and listen carefully, where that union must happen. Neptune may really challenge us with bringing fears and challenges to us, but will also clarify what the lesson is or what needs to be worked on. Dreamwork can help with funding some of these dreams and with connecting with the Spirit. Yes, I said FUNDING. Do not doubt your intuition at this time as the treasure can be literal. Possibility for inheritance is also there, but in some cases it might involve a loss and therefore healing must be done. While there may be pain, there is also a chance to work with the energy of these transits in a very deep way.
Virgo:Solar Eclipse & Mercury Retrograde Gate 45 in 10th house, Saturn retrograde gate 13 in 6th house, Neptune Gate 36 in 7th house, Channel 55-39 in houses 7 & 11
Big career milestones can get their seeds in the near future. There may even be a redefining of what the future hold for the career advancements. Finding all of the resources that are needed for these shifts to happen is the theme of the problem solving and leaps of faith. Some distractions in the home area or even a move may happen at the same time in order to accommodate these bigger work goals. While Saturn is helping to see what needs to be restructured and fixed, this transit will also add solidity into these career developments. Neptune may get Virgo folx aware of closer associations and contracts that may not be of use for the future as in people who may purposefully try to hold us back. The Channel of Emoting in houses 7 and 11 will bridge the right alliances with the groups which Virgos can get closer to and feel harmony in as well as call attention to which parts of us attract or repel these collectives that we want to work with.
Libra:Solar Eclipse & Mercury Retrograde Gate 45 in 9th house, Saturn retrograde gate 13 in 5th house, Neptune Gate 36 in 6th house, Channel 55-39 in houses 6 & 10
This eclipse is spiritually and creatively activating for Libras. If some manifestations or pleasure projects have fallen through before, this time period will be great for revising or even restarting them. The right people will show up once you tap into the energy. There may even be a new spiritual path or a new trip abroad that distances Libras from the localities for a while. There may however be some confusion around the timetables and mundane aspects of these beautiful shifts – the veils will eventually drop and with a bit of extra work there will also be a higher purpose to daily tasks. What do we need to do now in this moment in order to make our mark on the world? The mundane will tie into these spiritual revelations rather smoothly as long as the time is carved into the calendar. Libras need to make sure they take care of their health – some things that are going on now are long term so making sure that health issues don’t get out of hand is important for wellness in the future. Do your inner work in regards to the legacy you want to leave on the planet, Libra folx.
Scorpio: Solar Eclipse & Mercury Retrograde Gate 45 in 8th house, Saturn retrograde gate 13 in 4th house, Neptune Gate 36 in 5th house, Channel 55-39 in houses 5 & 9
A new start possibly in regards to home environment and newfound stability may arrive with inheritance. On the more mystical side of things, this could be a deeply transformative life change in any other life area, but the consistent feeling here is stability through that change. A stability that goes deeper. Many inner resources are getting a revision as well. Inheritance could come from more than one person and there could be some working around with organising inherited things here. Storytelling with family/families, whether chosen or blood, could provide more tools to coping with any hardship – a sense of “shared survival”, no one’s left behind in case of any pain arriving. There is a bit of a bittersweet feeling as some beautiful things could be manifesting as well – if the conditions are there, there could be a birth and a death at the same time whether literal or metaphorical, but please don’t catastrophise, take this as it comes. Whatever happens, it will provide newfound spiritual knowledge and wisdom. The phrasing “what we know of and can’t ignore” becomes very relevant for the inner work of your 9th house – is there anything that you Scorpio folx may have brushed off too quickly and hastily?
Sagittarius: Solar Eclipse & Mercury Retrograde Gate 45 in 7th house, Saturn retrograde gate 13 in 3rd house, Neptune Gate 36 in 4th house, Channel 55-39 in houses 4 & 8
New close relationships or existing connections getting new beginnings with many options and problem solving qualities are on the horizon. It feels as though it’s exactly the right people for the right job, people who really help us figure some long term problems out. These people are likely to live nearby or be known from the past – maybe there was some troubles with these people in the past and through compassionate listening and possibly newfound identity through the purge from the previous eclipse, we are able to start on a new foot better than ever. The home environment may shift around a bit, but it feels as though there’s lots of joy and peace is found in order to solve any struggles from the past in this solitude. Emotional challenges are eased out by the harmony of Venus in 8th, gate 39. Inner psychological work is required to achieve this. Bring harmony into your brainwaves by dealing with it softly. This can be a very emotionally healing time for you, Sagittarius.
Capricorn: Solar Eclipse & Mercury Retrograde Gate 45 in 6th house, Saturn retrograde gate 13 in 2nd house, Neptune Gate 36 in 3rd house, Channel 55-39 in houses 3 & 7
There may be transformations and new beginnings in the daily work and service side of things, as any sense of illness, loss or uncertainty are leaving. Gatherings with new work teams, client bases and working groups are likely. Financial abilities also get a revamp – maybe some costs and budgets are re-evaluated and estimated, carefully re-considered. There could be a market clash, however, as Neptune in Gate 36 falls into the 3rd house. This is getting solved by closer 1:1 relationships with the 55-39 channel in 3rd and 7th houses. There may even be gifts that help us boost these important working environment shifts. Making sure that right people are included and knowing what the best 1:1 connections are for us is the key to bringing the full potential out of these transits. Looking outside of the local work markets may provide useful in case any Capricorn is looking for a new job – close friends and associations, even work partners you are close with could assist in this type of a thing at this time.
Aquarius:Solar Eclipse & Mercury Retrograde Gate 45 in 5th house, Saturn retrograde gate 13 in 1st house, Neptune Gate 36 in 2nd house, Channel 55-39 in houses 2 & 6
New beginnings in romance, fun stuff and manifestation are ahead! This requires solid personal growth effort though. Going through revising personal growth strategies and evaluating self-expression in regards to how one can get most out of life. Listening to one’s higher self, true self, is so necessary here. That will assist us into what most needs to be manifested or be created and who’s the right romantic partner right now. There could even be group dates or speed dates this summer. Where can we focus on fun for its own sake? Some confusion about one’s abilities and finances can come about, and it’s important to take this challenge as a growth spurt. There could be a new way to serve which can provide additional income or a better job which can simultaneously give a confidence boost and assist in making these new beginnings possible. Doing the inner work in how much can be given out as an act of service is important here, and how much is fair to give whether it’s time, effort, work or money. Doing a re-evaluation of one’s physical and material resources and taking care of one’s health is a big theme for Aquarians. If the health side hasn’t been taken seriously, this Venus transit will make that incorporation very easy.
Pisces:Solar Eclipse & Mercury Retrograde Gate 45 in 4th house, Saturn retrograde gate 13 in 12th house, Neptune Gate 36 in 1st house, Channel 55-39 in houses 1 & 5
Isolation is bringing a newfound sense of inner peace, and home environments are shifting as a result of need for it. Time spent privately is getting the attention from the constant need to be public, seen and achieving things. Gatherings at home can come about as one listens to the nudges of intuition and dreamworlds. A new home may be manifested after a chapter in working life or career path is closed. Similarly to Cancerians, Pisces folx may go through a vibe of the past not letting them go or past being completely re-contextualised which can spark identity crises or new revelations about one’s past and life path forward. On the other hand, fun activities and even romance can lighten up the mood for Pisces folx, as long as the inner work is done in regards to what type of fun is true to oneself and what type of partners are the best for us. This summer can be an intuitive booster and powerful for manifestations as long as that sense of true self and authentic self-expression is harnessed in order to make it happen. It’s not a time to fake it til you make it – more so, get familiar with the feeling and feel it til it manifests.
I hope this report serves you well and helps you out in navigating this eclipse season and working with the energies! Thanks so much for reading!
picture of planet Mercury with a flower shaped picture in the middle with twins in the middle of the flower shape and zodiac signs around the edges, with text on front of the image saying: Misunderstood Mercury?
So if you didn’t know, Mercury is retrograde. If that’s too obvious, this is not:
YOU’VE MISUNDERSTOOD IT.
Most people would say that THEY get misunderstood through this time. I have too, actually, because I’m loud and proud, but my message here is about the “panic of retrograde” that seems to pop in at this transit.
Mercury Retrograde is no reason to fear and hide in a cupboard. Unless you lost something in there, then keep on searching through that cupboard 😂 OK, jokes aside, knowing that Mercury is retrograde can get you more calm and centred as you’re aware of this energy – you know that this response from others and the slowing down Zodiacal energy, with possibly technological interruptions may manifest, so you be chill! It’s easier to accept things, grow and life a peaceful life when you know what energies influence us from the Cosmos.
Is there something you need to do that Mercury retrograde posts tell you not to do? Truly, you can do whatever you want. The retrograde effect may cause some delays, however, or misunderstandings in the details. So if you need to for example buy something, read the info and contracts, especially fine print, make sure you understand it. If you’re doing something important, make sure you’ve got everything you need in order to make it successful, whatever a satisfactory successful result is to you.
Look up my previous posts and videos about Mercury retrograde for more insight.
Know where the planets are in relation to YOUR chart. Want to know more about YOUR birthchart? I do present focused, clarifying birthchart readings for those who might have an idea of what certain things mean but would like more assistance in getting to know their inner energy dynamics as well as transits. Link to these is right here.

Pretty much every time retrogrades occur in astrological transits, both you and I witness the chatter that goes along the same lines of chaos and fear… ok maybe not that intense, but the same old disorganised, disempowering perceptions.
It seems that suddenly one’s individual free will gets compromised for a retrograde. Which actually doesn’t happen – but it seems like it because the power to live your life gets externalised to a planetary body. When in reality you have the power all along.
Astrology and astrological transits, reports and prophecies are not about fear, paranoia and catastrophising results – it simply is not the way. The planets are in YOU. The Universe has NO AGENDA.
The Universe works with what you give to it as well as how you’re using what it gives to you.
The planets are always assisting us. Always. Whether retrograde or not, whether transiting your 8th house or not – it is all divine assistance and it’s up to you to receive it or ignore it. It doesn’t matter how comfortable this assistance is – it’s assistance regardless. Simply energies interacting with our fields. For some they feel easier than others because of our own frequency. But we all have the capability to adjust to frequency shifts – whether planetary, galactic or otherwise multidimensional.
Some examples from my own life: any transits to my 8th house Saturn have been highly influential as they’ve taught me major life lessons (as Saturn often does), but they’ve also come with a double edged sword effect since Saturn does not sugar coat ANYTHING. Even as soft as mine is, in Pisces. There’s been both a blessing and a lesson as well as big impactful Saturnian teaching. Usually they culminate around the exact dates of conjunctions. Learning and integrating these lessons brings me far better results than avoiding my own responsibility and my own part in the co-creation that is called life.
The choice is yours. I’ve given many tips before on my platforms on dealing with retrogrades so give those a read or watch on youtube… but my best tips always are:
Be patient
Sleep on it
Don’t take yourself too seriously, life goes on
LIVE YO LIFE GURLLL
I’ll link a video I made earlier in 2020 on my youtube right here, about Mercury Retrograde. Take a look and subscribe, as there’s another one coming 😉
Inspiring Alien Tarot Limited Edition and Infinite Edition side by side with a cup of coffee in a cute mug, stardust sparkles, tech gear on a table covered with a blue cloth
Hi! Are you new to this deck?
Here’s the story of how I came up with the Inspiring Alien Tarot deck and how this deck was birthed into the world.
Picture of Inspiring Alien Tarot Deck Limited Edition on a red, frizzy carpet. The image has diamond color/pattern frames.
Between 2014-2016 I went to art school. I had already been reading tarot on-off for a bit, and as I got ill with some mental health problems and went into a hospital a couple of times, I was kinda bored there and needed something else to focus on, so I just pulled cards on a hospital bed and learned this system more.
I had already been learning the cards more in depth around 2015 and that’s when these images started to pop into my head. I had also come to the conclusion that I needed a new deck because my old one was SOOOOO beaten up because it was the ONLY one I had and I used it SO MUCH.
That’s when I found the endless wormhole of tarot deck variations.
But it wasn’t nearly as big as it is today… I might have a video coming soon about publishing in 2017 VS 2021 because the difference is so drastic.
ANYWAY…
I bought myself a few new decks, Deviant Moon Tarot* was one of the first completely new decks and it was love at first sight, still reads absolutely beautifully to me, and a big inspiration to creating one of my own. I still absolutely adore the creator, Patrick Valenza.
Deviant Moon Tarot cards: Strength & Empress. Altar on the background with crystals, a plant, a candle etc.
Now back then, there was only a few, literally a few, alien themed tarot decks on the market, barely any with such surreal themes, alien decks that already existed weren’t that colorful, and I decided that I wanted one that was colorful and cute, but nothing too “kawaii” if that makes sense Because my art is more expressionist than anything. Always has been. I was growing into my artistic style as I studied in art school and I decided to finish creating this deck as my degree work / graduation project.
Side note: Starseeds wasn’t as trendy of a topic either. It’s such a popular thing now compared to then. I’m not surprised, but there’s a few things to say about this… for another time hahah
Picture from graduation work art exhibition. In the front of the image: draft tuckbox with a gradient pink orange yellow design with doodles, test copies of cards laid out, some under a glass, some in the test deck itself laid on top of the glass. The back of the image: Original Inspiring Alien Tarot artwork behind a glass cover and signs on the side telling which one is which. Some of the text is covered to avoid deadnaming issues (the creator is transgender).
And that’s how it was born!
Review form Jennifer Ball: “Wow! I LOVE this deck! The cardstock is fantastic! The artwork is amazing! Hand drawn box! Thank You!!! ❤ ❤ <3”
I had many people in the tarot community following along this project and I SOOOOOO appreciate you. I love the fact that you saw every second of this creation. Ever since then, I’ve had a rather small audience to begin with, and as I entered deck selling / self-publishing, I had barely any business mind so I sold way under priced, and now that I have not only just learned more but the price of printing and shipping has increased quite a bit, I’ve had to raise my prices. It has also been challenging to REALLY get this out there in a big way with such a small audience. And to do so in a way that is aligned to my ethics, as I started on Etsy but they just got all kinds of f’d up in their business that I just didn’t agree with. That said, people still view my Etsy shop for whatever reason. Etsy shop is no more hahahah.
wtf ppl? why you visiting my inactive etsy store? Description of image: etsy dashboard with stats on it: 84 visits this year.
I’ve had to change shops 3 times now and I’d love to just be able to throw more money at WordPress to have everything on my official website, but https://inspiringalien.bigcartel.com will do for now, for the physical products and alien ebook. I have also made a more affordable version of this deck that’s available over here: https://www.makeplayingcards.com/…/inspiring-alien…
Review form Amber Lyndsey: “I just got mine from make playing cards a few days ago and I can’t put it down!”
I hope you love this text. I really hope you do. I loved writing it.
Love and stardust,

This is what the Cosmos is about. I’ve called my audience “starseeds”, the souls experiencing human life on Earth after experiencing past lives in other planets and galaxies.
Cosmos is our home. The home of super spiritual beings and vibrant souls.
Cosmos is made of stardust, asteroids, planets and black holes. The light that we shine out to the Earth and its crowd wouldn’t exist without black matter. All of these objects connect with and to each other – there’s gravity, distance and energy.
If you have experienced anything extra terrestrial, like UFOs, visitors, starseed past lives or even memories from abduction, this is your home. This is your Cosmos. And you will not be judged. You will learn from these experiences and how to use energies from them, and also things you don’t understand yet, to your greater good.
There’s energy in cosmic bodies, this is our journey. Past lives guide us starseeds in present to find our purpose and teach us ways we can grow from whatever lessons these memories present to us. What we should remember however, is that we’re living the human experience, and we have been gifted the life on Earth, whether we like it or not. It’s our place to elevate the frequency or the planet.
We can’t force change, healing or growth, but we can learn how to focus our intentions in the right places in order for these things to take place. We can create our future, anchor it in through the dimensions, and take care of ourselves in order to move to our highest timelines.
Pleiadeans, January 2019:
Luminosity is here,
Beneath your fears,
It brings you to other energetic realms.
What is your reality? Water having more than 3 forms, there’s similarly multiple states of energy… reality is multi-layered, flexible like water.
Once you open your awareness to it, may you see it. You will make your reality, make wonders. Wondering how Earth and your family could be. Plant these seeds in your energetic surroundings as a spark of love and let the rest unfold on Its own.
Everything is developing in its divine timing and manner.
What I see so often in humanity is dismissing oneself and undervaluing ourselves because “someone else does it better” or “that only happens to the lucky ones”. Excuses are endless.
You never say that to your friends though. You build them up, right? Look at it this way – what you admire in your friend/s.o./coach etc already exists within you. There’s either a seed of this quality or an obvious presence of this thing in your personality. You see what you are or what you’d like to be one day.
We are all one.
We are.
When someone makes judgements about your creations etc there’s something within THEIR consciousness that needs their attention. Plus it’s often very ego-based. They want to feel better and thus will do their all to push you down.
This is one form of lack-mentality and slightly elitists as well – truth is, there isn’t the best, better or worst, and this is because there’s such a variety of humans, animals and other beings, that it’s A) very unlikely to please everyone B) very unlikely that you won’t resonate with someone.
There’s a market for everything, which I discussed here in my Soundcloud Podcast.
Lastly, if you feel like you lack something, aren’t doing it right, no one wants what you have – this is your chance to see where these feelings come from and change things up if they don’t work that way. Personally, I was following so many different influencers and while many of these people gave amazing advice, some of it was contradictory, either with another one’s advice or my personal viewpoints. So my decision is to do my thing based on my intuition and what feels right and rewarding TO ME. No matter how many people I’m inspiring and influencing, there’s no one person who I should listen to as a preacher or otherwise an authority without fault. Of course these people have helped me a lot in multiple ways, but as of now I’m being myself and giving myself that value that I lost.
You are unique and needed. There’s someone out there looking for your creations, your assistance, anything at all you’re willing to offer somebody. There’s something in you that they won’t find anywhere else. Keep this thought close to your heart while you’re building your life and influence.
Your Astrological Natal Birthchart isn’t meant to limit you – How to dissolve self-imposed limitations and avoid astrological self-sabotage
I don’t have to show how much student loan I owe to prove my astrological natal birthchart accurate.
I don’t have to cling to my addictions to affirm my astrological weaknesses in my birth chart.
If you use your astrology as an excuse to not grow, you’re doing it wrong. Start to use it as a tool for self-awareness, acknowledgement and a complete picture in order to evolve and become the best you that you can be. There’s only one you, and that’s what the art of astrology can show us.
See what you can do with it. I’m a troubleshooter so I like to look at both strengths and weaknesses in an astrological natal birthchart. Although I don’t believe any astrological planet is weak per se, some are usually stronger or in their ruled zodiac signs, therefore they have more power in their placements. The concept of dominant planets and dominant zodiac signs will assist in seeing this, same with the ruler of your chart which is the ruler of your ascendant. I look at the big picture but also relevance – sure I could look at all of your houses for a love query, but that wouldn’t be specific enough… So I’d rather look at the relevant houses and placements for that, like 5th 7th 8th and 11th houses and planets like Venus, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Sun, Asteroid Juno and then aspects and rulers.
That’s my two cents on the personal growth perspective in astrology and how I find the most use out of astrology anyway. See the video I’ve linked above to hear more of my thoughts and stories on this topic. I’ll definitely post more thoughts about this topic in the future.
Love and stardust and joy for your astrological exploration,
yellow fractal digital image with text “What I mean by Oneness. Or, what Oneness means to me.”
In the oneness, the All, there are fractals of this One, blending in, interacting, coming together, yet all being variables of the One.
Think of it as a color spectrum… the All, the Unity is the whole spectrum, and our souls are the color variations. Different shades of color in between; not just black and white, not just red and blue, not just orange and green… but ALL those and everything in between. There are shades of similar colors, darker and lighter colors, even some colors considered “pure” and some considered “unnatural” – yet they all co-exist in the same Unity. If I’m a neon yellow and you’re a mustard, we may be variations, fractals, of the same soul group… who knows. If the person next to you is a lime green or an ochre color, they’re probably from a partner soul group or a sibling soul group.
See… the All, Oneness, Unity is not just light, it’s not even just light and dark, but it’s neutral. It’s neutral of any judgement that serves to separate us. It’s neutral of any judgement that serves to polarize us further apart. It shows all as is.
To be a part of the all doesn’t take anything away from you. In fact, it shows you how powerful you really are… by becoming more conscious, you’re taking the surrounding color hues to another level. This is not a hierarchy of control, however – it’s more of an awareness of the different cosmic layers within all of us. So yes, the Oneness is all of us individually as well. There is no separation. You are multidimensional, like it or not, and for some of you this is a hard pill to swallow because you just wanna live your life in a stale, stagnant, never progressing space. But that’s only going to make things harder in the long run. Because life and humanity changes constantly. We evolve constantly… and even just looking at the days of the week, you’ll probably find small variations and changes in the days anyway…
The evolution of consciousness has been here for a while and if on the other hand you’re one of those people who wants to get to the 5D waiting for it, wondering why we’re not there yet… change your perspective because we’ve been there for a good while. The people who still think we’re “on the way” are creating that exact reality for themselves… always on the way but never arrived. And those of you who simply don’t see it… I said: it’s already here. You’re not gonna escape it, no one is, but sure you can ignore it all you want and that’s none of my business *Kermit sips tea*
Multidimensional layers of you are always accessible to you. The 5D, 6D, 7D and more, they’re all in you already – because you are the Oneness and it is you. They just show you how the fractals get smaller. When they get smaller, they get closer to the Source. The All. Eventually, the zero point. Where everything is created. Where anything can become anything, everything can become anything, anything can become everything. You can find a zero point within you as well… but that’s for another time.
You have a higher self. Your higher self has fractals of all of the dimensions… different manifestations of each in a way. Your higher self follows these energy flows, and not all of their guidance may make sense at first in human terms, which is another thing I’d like to touch on. Your human self is what we sometimes call the lower self, but to avoid the feeling of hierarchy, I’ll just call it our human self. Lol. This is your psychology, physiology, rationale, emotions, impulses, reactions, even your ego. Though the way I see the ego death is different to how many people see it, I do see the ego as the one who wants to control, above all. I feel that the ego does manifest differently in all of us, but the main thing is, how is your ego controlling? There could be many connections to all of the other human levels in your ego and there usually is, but the main theme with an ego consciousness is the need of separation and how someone’s ego works can take things to either way. I personally, however, see the ego neutrally. I ask it questions and challenge it. But I always surrender to my higher self, because my higher self knows that the limitations are self created most of the time… actually, they’re ego created. Judging the ego will, again, make this whole process very painful for you. Because of course the ego is part of the Oneness but it doesn’t want to admit it! The ego wants separation. Some spiritual people and practitioners go through a spiritual ego phase which basically shows you the whole “omg why are these people so 3D?!”-syndrome. Judgement of those who are not spiritual – note, that to state a fact is not judgement – is spiritual ego. Trying to force control over those who, according to you are living in the 3D, is spiritual ego.
Like I said, it’s none of my business that people choose to ignore the evolution of consciousness. It’s none of my business that some want to ignore the spiritual in their daily lives… but what is my business, what is my responsibility, is to inform people. Inform through my neutral approach and respect your free will. I’m not leading anything here. I’m not here to convert people. Just expressing. My higher self does this sometimes. And I would encourage anyone, in any circumstances, to follow their calling. To listen to those desires for a more ideal life circumstance. To make sure you live your life stream and not somebody else’s timeline. To shine as you are. To go for it anyway. To truly embody your higher self… grow and evolve. It’s your choice.

Are you new to this deck? 
Because my art is more expressionist than anything. Always has been. I was growing into my artistic style as I studied in art school and I decided to finish creating this deck as my degree work / graduation project. 
I love the fact that you saw every second of this creation. Ever since then, I’ve had a rather small audience to begin with, and as I entered deck selling / self-publishing, I had barely any business mind so I sold way under priced, and now that I have not only just learned more but the price of printing and shipping has increased quite a bit, I’ve had to raise my prices. It has also been challenging to REALLY get this out there in a big way with such a small audience. And to do so in a way that is aligned to my ethics, as I started on Etsy but they just got all kinds of f’d up in their business that I just didn’t agree with. That said, people still view my Etsy shop for whatever reason. Etsy shop is no more hahahah. 
it’s:
