From Shadows to Spotlight: The Power of Servanthood

Have you ever felt like you’re stuck in the background, serving faithfully without recognition? You’re not alone. Many have walked this path, only to be catapulted into their greatest assignments. Servanthood is never a demotion – it’s a preparation.” This truth is beautifully exemplified in the story of Joshua.

Pile One:

Pulling your tarot first, I got the star, 8 of cups, 10 of swords, and 5 of swords. Which is ironic for the most emo picture pile lol. This is for how they view you. you might have a fear of abandonment, you might get played, led on, bad luck, loss hopes. Be Down all the time, pessimistic perspective or experiences. Playing the victim, being the victim of life. Someone that had bad mental health, and may have avoidant attachment, where you could up and leave, detached. Definitely looks at you as someone who either comes and goes with them or life in general, every card except 8 of cups which is the pirate, and one that leaves has wings on it. Been through a lot and trying to fill a void, or some type of happiness, achievement. Being hopeful, and faithful. Someone always trying to find better for themself even when down.

Pulling oracle, I got Self Assurance(Sacral Chakra) and Pele (Solar Plexus). Orange and yellow aura. Purple and blue can also be significant in someone style or favorite color. This self assurance card, she has a hoodie on with black eyeliner, bangs, while pele raises up the moon coming up from a volcano, bursting into this yellow atmosphere. You are an individual to this person. Comfortable in your skin, connected with yourself. Confident, Passionate and Desire, Powerful and Transformative. Authentic, Assured. Firey. Could be fun, intense, loud, definitely bold in some way. Creative energy, artistic, musical. Sexually open, liberated, free?

They view you sexually as someone who may have worth, be of high value of someway, and them being a spark like a passionate, sexual, firey, dominant man. Or they view this as your sexuality, and sexual dynamic you may like. Fun and free, but stable and committed. They see you as probably submissive, someone who likes to serve and give yourself. Someone who is maybe a quiet freak, runaway and have sex, need for privacy. Probably like to go on vacations, do it in the car, travel for sex. Maybe into candles, or dimmed lights, or lights. Someone who may overcame a lot in hookup culture, don't have to be a hoe, but learned a lot. have a different perspective on sex. Omg, for the pile two picture to be a living room, i am channeling living room flow by jhene aiko for this pile. lol. "its whatever you want, i want to please you most, whatever turns you on. you are so creative the way that your making love to me, you do me, like no one ever done it, that is all i wanted. not your heart or love, do what you do to my body, i just want to fuck." something like that.

Their sexual thoughts about you is conquering you as a sneaky link. getting sexual access to you and slutting you out. relax you, take you in. may be a third party involved, group setting or three some?? omg but their sexual desire for you is strong and maybe a desire for commitment, relationship, or long term. you turn this person on, they think about getting freaky with you. going somewhere to fuck. being this person you come to for something, to be taught, loved, secured, guided. they want to see you bent over in their bed, laying behind you in the bed, spooning. they want to feel you, intimacy with you, sex with you all night, over and over again. they think about straight up sex. a lot of sexual cards came out. they want you to be theirs, foreal foreal. love your side profile, may want to do a lot to your legs during sex, touch them, caress, put them in different positions. hips to, your arch. they want to eat you all up, and kiss on every part of you, pleasing you sensually in every way. they want to overcome obstacles with you sexually, lol, make love.

Pile two.

You got 3 of cups, 6 of wands, the devil, page of swords. How they view you? Some keywords, not all has to resonate. popular, party person, likes things like sex and drugs. thrilling, rebellious things. thot, cocky, thrill/pleasure seeking, attached, addict, obsessed. shining, attention getter, victorious. Curious, communicator, funny, dark mind, dark humor, dark thoughts, in the clouds, airy, open minded, thoughtful, learner, listener. Social media, texting, calls, emails.

Universal Understanding (Solar Plexus) Sacred Learning (Third Eye). Sees you as very intelligent, sharp minded, wise. understands, and can see others, probably psychological. angel eyes, acceptance of others or dont judge people. Wisdom through experience, spiritual growth. Sharp eye!!!! Open third eye! and sharp mind with stuff to say.

They view you sexually as a very feminine, nurturing energy. whos on their level, an empress to an emperor. very loving, and caring. someone who likes to work together in the bed, help each other. put effort in. connect with the other person. create and build on one another. maybe some toxic, drama involved, chaos maybe. likes to celebrate one another, fight with each other.

Their sexual thoughts about you. One part is very loving, intimate, romantic bonding sex. They want to love you, feel loved by you. take it slow, learn and explore your body. admire you and take in your beauty. then another side of them is kind of wanting to take you down, tap you out. Where you kind of let them see this new side of them, and they have full control over you even if your like a victim, like your helpless. handcuffs, holding your hands. using their strength, to kind of hurt you, like a pain and pleasure thing. and wont mind if you dominate them and use strength and confidence.

Pile three

They see you as this ball of energy whos like sneaky, and gets away with things. goes with the flow, lucky with time. akeakeake hopping around sneaking like a ghost, moving with fate. but you have this youthful, playful, fun, adrenaline, passionate energy in you that's ready to explore. take on adventures. they see you as someone who may steal or be sneaky to find security or control within your life. if your confused or stuck. they may see you as a rebel who does what they want on their own desires. they may see you as slightly immature.

They may see you as someone who is social, good with the world, in public environments. can connect to people. or this is maybe how they see you with them, connective, receptive, chill and cool. centered and grounded. maybe someone who goes through lessons in the physical realm, and has these spiritual awakenings, clarity moments, ephianys. Someone who has a good heart, and connected to everyone around them, very connected to nature, yourself. Mind, Body and Soul Balanced.

They view you as a erotic, have you sent them nudes, made a sex tape. they view you as someone who is good in the bed, and may could give good head. You may get your heartbroken, but you overcome, and challenge and travel through them. You may like that sexual dynamic, where they feel bad for you or something, or maybe you want to know how they will hurt you. some emotional kink that involves pain. (this is how they view you) they view you as maybe a cheater though, someone who could sneak around.

Their sexual thoughts, they like it when you know what your doing, and they know what their doing, and you help each other, and go fast. they like it when you guys are transparent, honest, clear. they like to cum, nut, squirt, any liquid of pleasure, and maybe being on top of you, hugging you, connecting and bonding. wanting to have sex to bond and heal things within the connection.

WHAT'S IN STORE FOR YOU THIS SPRING?

This is meant to be a fun, general reading, so it may not resonate with everyone. Take what resonates for you and leave the rest behind! Please take a moment to breathe, focus on your intuition, and choose the photo that calls to you. Each holds a unique message for you!

𐙚 • 𝑃𝑖𝑙𝑒 1

This spring, there may be a sense of unpredictability or feeling like things are not quite going as planned. It could feel like external circumstances are delaying progress, leading to moments of frustration or uncertainty. However, patience and persistence will be key during this time. While results may not be immediate, the efforts that have been put in will eventually pay off, making it important to stay committed and trust the process.

Despite any setbacks, there is a strong energy of personal fulfillment and stability emerging. Hard work and dedication will bring a deep sense of satisfaction, and there may be opportunities for financial or material growth. A steady and reliable approach will lead to long-term rewards, emphasizing the importance of staying practical and grounded. Looking ahead and planning for the future will also be crucial, as opportunities are beginning to unfold, bringing a sense of optimism and progress.

However, there may be moments when rest and reflection are needed. Taking breaks and allowing time to recharge will help maintain balance and clarity. With a new beginning on the horizon, this is a period where financial and career-related growth is possible, particularly through careful planning and a responsible approach. Stability and security are within reach, especially for those who remain focused on their goals and take measured steps toward their ambitions.

𐙚 • 𝑃𝑖𝑙𝑒 2

This spring will be a time of awakening and self-realization. There is a strong call to reflect on past choices and embrace personal growth, allowing for a fresh perspective on life. A period of breaking free from unhealthy patterns or influences is emerging, creating space for newfound independence and clarity. While it may take effort to fully release what no longer serves, the process will be empowering and bring a sense of liberation.

However, there may be moments of imbalance or uncertainty, particularly when it comes to managing responsibilities or expectations. Traditional structures or beliefs may feel restrictive, leading to a desire to forge a unique path rather than conforming to societal norms. Moving forward may not always be easy, as lingering doubts or unresolved emotions could create hesitation. Yet, the ability to manifest new opportunities is strong, and taking control of one's own direction will be key to overcoming any obstacles.

Even in the face of challenges, there is a strong energy of personal fulfillment and success. The power to shape the future lies in the ability to harness inner strengths and talents. While there may be moments of disappointment or reflection on what has been lost, there is also the opportunity to focus on what remains and build something even stronger. By embracing self-confidence and looking ahead with optimism, this season holds the potential for transformation and deep personal fulfillment.

𐙚 • 𝑃𝑖𝑙𝑒 3

This spring may bring shifts in relationships, whether romantic, platonic, or professional. There could be moments of disconnect or misalignment, making it important to reassess connections and ensure they align with personal values and needs. However, stability and self-sufficiency will take center stage, offering a strong foundation for personal growth. This is a time to focus on financial independence, nurturing oneself, and creating a comfortable and abundant life through patience and effort.

While progress is steady, there may be moments of doubt or feeling uncertain about the future. It could feel like hopes or dreams are slightly out of reach, requiring faith and perseverance to keep moving forward. Hard work will pay off, but results may take time, emphasizing the importance of patience and long-term planning. Rest and self-care will be essential, as pushing too hard without pause could lead to burnout or unnecessary stress.

Holding onto stability will be a theme, whether that means managing finances carefully, protecting personal energy, or maintaining emotional boundaries. Intuition will play a key role this season, guiding important decisions and revealing truths that may not be immediately visible. While there may be moments of feeling unprepared or hesitant to stand up against external pressures, trusting inner wisdom and maintaining balance will help navigate any challenges. This season offers a mix of growth, reflection, and inner strength, leading to deeper self-awareness and resilience.

Blessed Ostara!!

No matter what happens they will always want to be there for you. Just like the card it might be here with the four of swords they will miss their stop but still you are on their mind.

The fool- on this card she is running but she wont fall. So the fool here can mean that sometimes you want to rush into things .

The chariot - card

As the guide book says this one was true. Still this chariot and knows the tradional and he loves old cars . ( child :Nature)

So your partners has a big love for animals and nature spirits. They still will be hot-head. Volatile emotions that are suppressed. need a healthy way to release them, they might start erupting in ways that cause distress.

2.roses are red violets are blue

cards: the empress , the judgement , child :eternal , saintly ,adventure , fright , commitment

Someone that can already have a famous parent or work in the industry. So, it can even be nepotism and someone that has good connections with the court of law and universities. They at times might be paranoid or have some type of unusual phobia and depression. They have good contract and also good at overcoming obstacles also good at dealing with others. They can look young at heart and be like a child ...peter pan syndrome. (child: eternal)

3. Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day? cards: queen of cups, origin, child divine, alternative sexuality, wild west

So, your spouse is someone that has cancer in their big 3 and someone that likes to help others, make sure nobody is left out even if they are left out. This person can also have experience traveling aboard or even being a teacher that taught English or youth aboard. They can give gifts like a Lego flower or Legos because they want to give you something that they made with their own hands out of love and that can be lasting.

(Jimin while he was doing the Lego lives or just that energy, he had during that year he did the Lego flowers ...it was a well-known trend ...that love in that way can be lasting but it is true that they can try to unbuild the Lego flower)

They have a good mindset, and they are also creative, they have a lot of vitality. They have the raw vibes to them that they can have more of masculine side to, but the feminine side is more present. They also have a divine aura, and they have struggle to find love that can match them.

Pile 4. She walks in beauty, like the night Of cloudless climes and starry skies; card: The fool, Knight of pentacles, Don Juan, Liberator, readiness, alternative sexuality, wild west, ritual sacrifice, swindler

Your person, aka future spouse is someone that has a good sense of humor and determination. They will make it no matter what, they are someone that knows how to fix things around the house and can be quiet at times but also can light up.

They are good at seducing others and you; they can help people break out of mind control. They have access to high tech but also are given things that are simply just the placeholder for the real thing. It doesn't matter what happen that tool or weapon is their birth right.

(the card liberator you can see how this is done by Kassandra in her journey to Atlantis) Your spouse could have been cheated or scam by others. They tend to just not want to talk about what happen with their past or any bad event that could happen. They keep it to themselves and so they tend to push others to their breaking point. Or one big moment of angry to see that person ... can have moment that they are reminder of the power that they always had within that they can stand up for themselves and be brave.

PICK A GROUP : ESOTERIC MESSAGES MEANT TO FIND YOU

-the above images are from pinterest, the cards depicted in them are random and not directly involved in your reading, pick the deck you feel most comfortable with-

GROUP 1

Sit back and think: "What's the most positive thought I can have about my situation?' Life can bring us down but when we are strictly focusing on the details we make things worse.

See life as a big adventure, ready for you to jump on board and explore. You don't have to be certain where you are going, you just have to believe in yourself, have courage and take action. Sailing into uncharted territory feels scary but it's the only way we can find new lands.

If you believe you can do it, then you can. Commit to your dreams and carry yourself through the storms. Have strong conviction that you'll make it to the other side and nothing can stop you. When we have higher ideas, we tend to withstand more. Stones thrown your way can beused are steps that will take you higher. So, make the best out of every situation, because you can and you deserve to reach the last chapter of this beautiful book, not as the reader, but as the writer.

The secret is you can have whatever you want, but the catch is that you have to believe in yourself.

Prosperity and abundance will find you along the way but be reminded that abundance=wealth=worth=value YOU have assigned to yourself.

GROUP 2

Let me ask you a question, how bad do you want it?

If the answer is really fucking bad then now it's not the time to be a wallflower. Be relentless. Whatever your goal is be bold. Don't be afraid to forge your own path. Self starters are some bad motherfuckers and you are one too, even if you don't feel that you fit the bill.

Strength and leadership are found deep in the heart. You are good hearted and that means you have a strong, visceral, heart force-energy. Reconsider what tha means. Kindness is not weakness but strength we choose to use for good.

Connect with your sacral chakra and the energy of the creator. Something new is starting for you and you need to take the lead.

Speak up, roar, take charge of your destiny. The obstacles will be removed from your path as soon as you realize you have the ability to overcome them. Take care !

GROUP 3

Your issue is your inner voice, a voice that has been created by fears and insecurities and its only goal is to scare you away from your dreams. Don't listen to that voice. It's not yours, but a mirror image to the negative projections others have placed on you. Silence it by holding your vision.

For a moment, reconsider : have your goals changed, even if you never accomplished them. Different strokes for different folks and different goals for each part of our path. Let go of old expectations you or others have placed upon yourself.

You are safe now, because you are strong, stronger than you think.

You need to put an end to something that's been hindering your journey.

GROUP 4

Trust. A word that I bet makes you emotional. You can not trust many, but don't extend taht to yourself.

You can trust yourself. Repeat that over and over again until you believe it. You can trust the divine. You can trust that nature operates on cycles and luck will find you as soon as you step out of your comfortable negativity.

I want you to believe in the impossibe because in the near future a RARE chance will come your way. Luck will smile at you and you have to be ready to take that leap of faith.

What's happened up until now can not be reversed. Sit down and write on a piece of paper what you don't like about your situation. Regroup. You fought long and hard and now it's the time to count your losses and start preparing for the next chapter, victory.

Autumn Symbolism OC Questions.

A little list of OC questions based on Autumn Symbolism in North West European Heraldry. Obviously many of these things have different symbolic meanings in different cultures and have had different associations at different points in history - this list is intended more for diversion than serious historical analysis.

Apples - Liberality, Felicity, Peace and Salvation.

What is your OC's happiest memory? Does remembering it still make them smile? Or is there a wistful melancholy when they recall it?

Is your OC open to new ideas and ways of doing things? Or do they treat such suggestions with great suspicion and prefer to stick to tried and tested approaches and values?

Does your OC find it easy to express themselves in words? Or do they sometimes struggle to find the appropriate word or phrase? Are they eloquent in one language, but less practiced in another?

Is your OC happiest when things are peaceful and harmonious? Or do they secretly (or not so secretly) relish more drama or excitement?

How far would your OC go to protect others from harm? Have they ever accepted injury or suffering in order to keep others safe? Would they do so again?

Acorns - Independence and Ambition.

Does your OC find it easy to make their own decisions and come up with their own plans? Or would they prefer to ask for advice or guidance from others? Perhaps they might even wish that another could take major decisions out of their hands sometimes?

How much freedom would your OC willingly give up for the sake of a relationship or family commitment? How much would they give up grudgingly?

What is your OC's greatest aspiration? Is there an ultimate outcome towards which they are constantly striving? Is this something they keep secret from those around them?

Does your OC believe power is best held by those with the will to seize it? Or are they deeply suspicious of those with grand ambitions to hold authority over others?

Does your OC enjoy teaching others and nurturing their skills to the point they are masters in their own right? Or would they prefer to hoard certain strategies or wisdom in order to guarantee their own pre-eminence?

Squirrels - Thrift, Caution and Conception.

Does your OC carefully consider all possible outcomes before embarking upon a course of action? Or are they more inclined to launch themselves head-first into whatever they decide is the best plan at the time?

Is your OC frugal with their money? Carefully budgeting and saving against unexpected eventualities? Or are they more likely to spend money when they have it and not worry about it until it runs out?

Is your OC someone to whom others come for advice or help with planning? Or would their companions or associates laugh at such a notion?

What does your OC most fear happening should their plans go awry or their intended aim be thwarted? Humiliation? Loss of status? Or something more dangerous still?

What is something that your OC would never spend money on for themselves, but would be delighted to receive as a gift from another?

Oak Leaves - Faith and Endurance.

Does your OC adhere to any particular religious faith? To what degree do they follow the tenets of that faith? Are they a believer in name only? Or are they zealous in their convictions?

Has your OC ever had their beliefs significantly challenged? Have they perhaps seen things that made them doubt their faith? Or encountered opposing arguments they found it hard to refute?

How does your OC cope with hardship? Are they stoic and uncomplaining? Or do they whine and grumble? Is their response to hardship an accurate indication of their actual character or degree of resilience?

Do others have faith in your OC? Is this due to their past accomplishments? Or are they just exceptionally charismatic and easily able to inspire belief in others?

What has been the most challenging obstacle or hazard your OC has needed to overcome? How did they manage this? Was it through grit and determination? Guile and cunning? Or simply dumb luck?

Hedgehogs - Thoughtfulness and Provision.

Is your OC prone to introspection and reflection? Or do they not have much of an inner life in that regard? Do they ever find themselves ruminating upon things they would sooner forget? Or do others despair of them ever learning from their mistakes?

Does your OC like to hoard items and treasures? Or do they prefer to have few possessions? How do they feel about those with a different approach to such things?

How good is your OC at remembering small details about other people, such as their favourite foods or their date of birth? Do they find it easier to remember details about people they find attractive or potentially useful?

Does your OC always ensure they have sufficient material supplies or food stores to last through lean or difficult times? Or are they more inclined to rely (or assume they can rely) upon the generosity of others should they run low on resources?

What gift or reward is your OC most proud of having bestowed upon another person? What makes them proud about it? The expense or rarity? The time or effort expended in obtaining it? Or how clever or insightful they were in deciding upon it?

Wheat Sheaves - Plenty and Commendable Hospitality.

Is your OC prone to excessive consumption? If so, then are they eager for food in general? Or are there specific treats upon which they are inclined to gorge themselves? Or are they more focused upon the consumption of drink, illicit substances or engagement in darker vices still?

Does your OC enjoy playing the perfect host or hostess? Are they skilled at courtesy and making guests feel welcome? Or do they suffer others in their personal space most unwillingly?

If your OC could ensure a limitless supply of one particular thing then what would that be? An endless fountain of wine? A bottomless sack of food to distribute amongst the masses? An infinite library of every book ever written? Or perhaps something even more esoteric?

What makes your OC feel most welcome when visiting somewhere for the first time? Do they have specific cultural beliefs about how guests should be treated? Have they ever travelled somewhere with different social practices? How did they respond to this?

How does your OC feel about striking disparities in wealth or access to essential resources? Do they feel such things should be distributed more (or even totally) equitably? Or are they disinclined to interfere with the current ordering of society? Do they believe in paternalism and charity as an effectives mean of sharing the wealth of the rich with those less fortunate? Or are they cynical about this approach?

Career/Financial Advice From the Universe

If you're currently unfulfilled or experiencing conflicts in your career/projects, there may be some guidance meant for you below (please heart/share/follow if this resonated with you):

Pick a Crystal - 1. Rhodonite, 2. Pyrite, 3. Blue Calcite

Pile 1 - Rhodonite

Numbers: 1, 2, 5, 7, 11

Tarot: Fool Reversed, Strength, Knight of Pentacles Reversed, 3 of Pentacles Reversed

You may be having reservations about pursuing a brand new direction in your career path, due to fears of the unknown and uncertainty about what the future could hold. You are being guided to have faith in yourself and believe that your inner strength, wisdom, and talents are enough to overcome any obstacles you may face. You may be working within a team that is rife with conflict, lacking harmony, and unaligned with each others' visions. If so, you are being encouraged to walk away from this environment and pursue your projects by yourself. This is a time to be compassionate and be tactful instead of exerting force and escalating conflicts. You are being called to practice self-discipline and commit to developing a structure to achieve your own goals, while leaving room for flexibility and spontaneity.

Pile 2 - Pyrite

Numbers: 1, 4, 6, 8, 44

Tarot: Devil, Knight of Swords Reversed, 6 of Pentacles Reversed, Moon Reversed

You may be currently stuck in a negative cycle, perpetuated by temptations and unhealthy addictions. There is a strong energy of confusion and deceit here, indicating you may be missing the full picture or ignoring crucial information. You are being warned against acting impulsively; slow down and take stock of your priorities before you say "yes" to something that causes you to burn out entirely and leaves you with nothing left to give. Someone may be taking advantage of your charity (whether it be your energy, time, or financial support), or you may be the one that is incurring debt and biting off more than you can chew. You are being guided to clear up the confusion and see past the illusions by intuitively unpacking what may be repressed in your subconscious. This is not the time to be persuaded by others, listen to your own inner wisdom to build a solid foundation for your future.

Pile 3 - Blue Calcite

Numbers: 1, 2, 3, 4, 22

Tarot: 5 of Cups Reversed, 2 of Swords Reversed, Sun Reversed, 7 of Cups Reversed

You may be struggling to move on from a personal setback in your career, and feeling reluctant to admit this feeling of defeat to others. However, putting your pride aside and seeking support/insight from trusted people in your life can help shift your perspective and propel you forward from this stagnancy with new ideas. We are all deserving of help from our community. If you are feeling stuck between a rock and a hard place, and feeling as though you lack the information to take decisive action, you are being guided to look on the bright side and seek out the wisdom to be gained from negative situations/outcomes. Be wary of being overconfident with the abundance of alluring choices in front of you; reflect on what you truly want long-term and align with what is best for you individually.

What happens when Saturn and Jupiter are in the 12th house?

In astrology, when Saturn and Jupiter are in the 12th house of a birth chart, it can suggest several possible interpretations depending on the specific placements and aspects involved, as well as the overall context of the chart. Here are some general themes associated with this placement:

Spiritual Growth and Insight: The 12th house is often associated with spirituality, hidden strengths, and subconscious patterns. With Jupiter, the planet of expansion and wisdom, in this house, there may be a strong inclination towards spiritual growth, philosophical exploration, and seeking higher meaning in life. Saturn's influence here can add discipline and structure to these pursuits, encouraging a more serious and committed approach to spiritual practices or inner work.

Isolation and Withdrawal: The 12th house is also linked to isolation, seclusion, and retreat. When Saturn and Jupiter combine in this house, there may be a tendency towards introversion, a need for solitude, or a feeling of being separate from mainstream society. This can be a time for deep introspection, reflection, and inner healing, but it may also indicate challenges related to loneliness or feelings of being misunderstood.

Charitable Endeavors and Service: Jupiter's presence in the 12th house can inspire a sense of compassion and altruism, leading individuals to engage in charitable activities, volunteer work, or humanitarian efforts. Saturn's influence here can bring a sense of responsibility and duty to these endeavors, encouraging a structured and practical approach to service-oriented activities.

Karmic Lessons and Self-Undoing: The 12th house is often associated with karmic patterns, unconscious motivations, and self-undoing tendencies. With Saturn and Jupiter in this house, there may be a need to confront and resolve past karma or subconscious patterns that are limiting personal growth. Saturn's influence can bring a sense of accountability and a willingness to confront difficult truths, while Jupiter's optimism and wisdom can provide guidance and support in navigating these challenges.

Hidden Strengths and Inner Resilience: Despite the potential challenges associated with the 12th house placement, Saturn and Jupiter here can also indicate hidden strengths, resilience, and inner resources that can be tapped into during times of adversity. Individuals with this placement may possess a deep reservoir of inner wisdom, faith, and perseverance that enables them to overcome obstacles and emerge stronger on the other side.

As with any astrological interpretation, it is important to consider the entire birth chart and the individual's specific circumstances and experiences. The position of other planets, aspects and the individual's personal development will all influence how Saturn and Jupiter in the 12th house manifest in their life.

CHANGING SPIRITUAL PERSPECTIVE

The Scriptures tell us that the Spirit of Truth is promised as our heritage to guide us into all truth and to show us things to come.

"But when He, the Spirit of truth, comes, He will guide you into all the truth; for He will not speak on His own initiative, but whatever He hears, He will speak; and He will disclose to you what is to come. He will glorify Me, for He will take of Mine and will disclose it to you. All things that the Father has are Mine; therefore I said that He takes of Mine and will disclose it to you". - John 16:13-15

The deep things of God are known only to Him, but are revealed to us through His Spirit. That is the promise of 1 Corinthians 2. Therefore, it is our expectation to witness an unprecedented outpouring of His Spirit and unfolding last day mysteries that will energize Believers as they seek to bear fruit that remains for God’s Kingdom through their Christ calling.

Mere human knowledge is not sufficient to bring in the great harvest. We must be endowed with God's supernatural provision that is clearly promised for this hour. To do so, every saint of God must come to the realization that Christ is "all in all."

He is Light; He is the Way, Truth, Life; He is the Resurrection; He is Wisdom; He is Righteousness; He is Goodness; He is Understanding; He is Alpha and Omega; He is the Beginning and the End; He is All in All.

To merely acknowledge these as doctrinal truth is not sufficient. They must become experiential reality through personal encounters with the Living Christ. The Lord is standing at the door knocking with a personal invitation for profound fellowship and the unveiling of latter rain revelation. For those who will forsake all else to dine with Him, this will be an age of greater glory and personal transformation into His very image.

SOARING WITH HIM

We must be firmly "rooted and grounded" in Him -- we must "Go deep in order to go high!" WE MUST BE:

Rooted and grounded in love (Ephesians 3:17).

Rooted and grounded in faith (Understanding Christ's finished work, our Christ identity, our right standing with God and our commitment to walk in the Spirit.

Rooted and grounded in truth (Understanding God's Purpose for our life - our CALLING in Christ.)

IN THE SPIRIT

Presently, many Believers are oppressed with feelings of hopelessness, fear, doubt, and other bondages which the enemy exploits. The Holy Spirit will carry Believers above this realm (for those who choose to "walk in the Spirit"), where our blessings and provisions are discovered in Christ. In this higher realm, we embrace hope to displace hopelessness, and fear is overcome by faith.

This truth is evidenced by the prophet Elisha as he boldly encountered the armies of the king of Aram without timidity or reservation. Conversely, his servant was battling issues of fear and doubt. That is, until he was carried above that realm to discover the more accurate spiritual perspective. Elisha helped his servant above the soulish realm of anxiety and uncertainty by saying:

"'Do not fear, for those who are with us are more than those who are with them.' Then Elisha prayed and said, 'O LORD, I pray, open his eyes that he may see.' And the LORD opened the servant's eyes and he saw; and behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha" - 2 Kings 6:16-17.

RECEIVING THE SPIRIT OF WISDOM AND REVELATION

When the prophet prayed for his servant, the impartation of the anointing allowed the servant access to the realm of faith and supernatural vision. As a result, he was changed and his perspective radically transformed. The limited view this servant previously held is the only one his adversary, the devil, wanted him to comprehend.

Likewise, the enemy desires that we see only the seemingly insurmountable obstacles and difficulties that stand between us and our DESTINY. Therefore, when we walk by the Spirit, we will receive the spirit of wisdom and revelation to advance us in our CALLING (GOD'S PURPOSE FOR OUR LIFE).

In Elisha's servant, the above experience radically affected his life – his eyes were opened and he saw. In a similar way, the Holy Spirit desires that we carry this anointing that opens eyes and distinguishes between the deceptions of our adversary and the provision of our Redeemer as we become the world changer that we were reated to be.

Apprehending the ascended life in Christ as we die to the self-life and release the rivers of Living Water flowing from our heart into the Believers we are discipling and equipping to bring forth the Great Commission, unleashes supernatural faith to live above this worldly realm and access the heavenly dimension.

The Ungifted Pen

The Ungifted Pen: Trusting God When Your Love Story Takes Unexpected Turns

We all have dreams. Dreams of love, companionship, and a future painted in vibrant colors of happiness and fulfillment. For many, this dream crystallizes in the desire for a spouse, a partner to share life's journey with. We pray fervently, meticulously outlining the qualities we envision in our future soulmate. We picture the fairytale wedding, the joyous celebration surrounded by loved ones, and the blissful "happily ever after" stretching before us. 

And then, the day arrives. You meet them. The person you believe God has hand-picked for you. The connection is undeniable, the potential undeniable. Excitedly, you begin to plan your shared future, filling in the details of a life filled with unwavering love and unwavering support.

But here's the truth: God doesn't always gift us with the pen. He presents us with the characters, the setting, and the initial spark, but He deliberately withholds the full script. We're given the opportunity to co-author our love story, navigating unforeseen plot twists and character development alongside our chosen partner.

Why this seemingly incomplete revelation? Why doesn't God simply reveal the roadmap to our marital bliss? The answer, perhaps surprisingly, lies in His deep understanding of our human nature. Had God unveiled the entire narrative from the outset, meticulously detailing every challenge, hardship, and period of doubt you would face, you might have recoiled in fear. You might have turned away from the very person He intended for you, convinced that the path was too difficult, the sacrifices too great.

Imagine knowing, before you even said "I do," the financial struggles you would endure, the communication breakdowns you would experience, or the health battles you would face as a couple. Would you have the courage to step forward, knowing the road ahead was paved with such obstacles? 

God, in His infinite wisdom, understands that we are stronger and more resilient when we face challenges one step at a time, armed with faith and the unwavering support of our partner. He knows that true love isn't about avoiding hardship, but about navigating it together, growing stronger and deeper in the process.

The Illusion of Control and the Reality of Faith

Our desire for the pen, for complete control over our narrative, stems from a deep-seated fear of the unknown. We crave predictability, wanting to ensure that our dreams unfold exactly as we envision them. But life, and especially love, rarely adheres to our carefully laid plans.

The absence of the pre-written script forces us to rely on something far more profound: faith. Faith in God's plan, even when we can't see the full picture. Faith in our partner, even when we disagree. Faith in the power of love to overcome obstacles and emerge stronger on the other side.

This isn't to say that we should blindly stumble through life without any foresight or intention. God encourages us to pray, to seek guidance, and to make wise decisions. However, He also calls us to surrender our need for control and trust that He is working all things together for our good, even when the path ahead seems uncertain.

Embracing the Co-Author Role

When God hands you the characters in your love story but withholds the pen, He's inviting you to become a co-author. He's giving you the opportunity to shape your narrative alongside your partner, guided by your values, your dreams, and your unwavering faith.

This co-authoring process requires vulnerability, open communication, and a willingness to compromise. It means being honest about your fears and insecurities, but also celebrating your strengths and your shared vision. It means learning to navigate conflict constructively, seeking understanding rather than focusing on blame.

Think of it like this: God provides the basic plot outline – the themes of love, commitment, and growth. But you and your partner are responsible for filling in the details, adding the dialogue, developing the characters, and crafting the specific scenes that make your story unique.

The Unexpected Beauty of the Unwritten Chapters

While the absence of the predetermined script can feel daunting, it also opens the door to unexpected beauty and profound growth. When you surrender your desire for control and embrace the co-author role, you allow God to work in ways you never imagined.

Resilience is built: Facing challenges together strengthens your bond and cultivates resilience. You learn to rely on each other, becoming a source of support and encouragement during difficult times.

Deeper Intimacy is forged:Navigating difficult conversations and working through disagreements fosters deeper intimacy and understanding. You learn to see each other's vulnerabilities and appreciate their strengths.

Unforeseen Blessings appear:Sometimes, the detours and unexpected twists lead to blessings you never anticipated. A career change, a new location, or a newfound passion can emerge from the ashes of seemingly insurmountable challenges.

Unconditional Love blossoms: The true meaning of unconditional love is realized not in the absence of conflict, but in the unwavering commitment to support and cherish each other, even when things are difficult.

Learning to Trust the Author of Your Life

Ultimately, the journey of a married life, like life itself, is a testament to faith and trust. Trusting that God, the ultimate author, has a plan for you, even when you cannot see the full picture. Trusting that He will guide you through the darkest valleys and celebrate with you on the highest peaks.

So, embrace the ungifted pen. Don't fear the unwritten chapters. Instead, approach your love story with courage, faith, and a willingness to co-author a narrative that is both beautiful and meaningful. Remember that the most powerful love stories are not those that are perfectly scripted from the beginning, but those that are written with resilience, vulnerability, and unwavering trust in the Author of life. He has given you the most precious gift of all: the opportunity to write your story together. Embrace it, cherish it, and let it be a testament to the power of faith and the enduring strength of love.

Twilight Clown Takes Special Edition—Twilight Would Be Soooo Different If Meyer Were Not A Mormon

In which a rogue TikTok lists some of the ways Twilight would be different if it weren’t written by Meyer the Mormon, thus attracting all the clowns to this sorry excuse of a yard. Thank you @car-lizzzle for bringing this mess to my attention. Clown meat’s back on the menu, girls! Om nom nom nom

Bella, Meyer’s supposed self-insert, is literally horrified at the idea of marrying at 18. So much so that Edward had to beg, plead, and bargain for her to accept it. She also didn’t care about waiting until marriage to want to sleep with Edward.

So why did Bella and Edward marry so early? In short, genre conventions. Twilight is a romance first and foremost, and in that genre marriage is typically 1) proof of the couple’s love and commitment towards each other and/or 2) the consummation of the couple after they have overcome all obstacles.

Of course Bella has Mormon purity culture written all over her! Wanting to have sex with Edward outside of marriage, for one thing. Longing for spaghetti straps and shorts. Liking Linkin Park. Not being religious and being indifferent to the question of a divinity. Just Mormon things.

Also, Bella was still very much in love with Edward in NM. She did not even consider Jacob to be a love interest until Eclipse. At best, she thought she would let him kiss her just to make him happy. But it would not have gotten to the point where she would have slept with him. Absolutely not.

If Meyer were indeed pro-life and made Rosalie pro-life, then why didn’t she make Carlisle, Edward, and Alice pro-life as well? At the very least, her very Christian Edward would have struggled between his religious convictions and his canonical obsession with Bella’s safety.

As it is, Edward does not hesitate even once in wanting an abortion for Bella, and neither do Carlisle and Alice. Emmett only backs Rosalie because she is his mate, and Jasper backs Alice for the same reason.

Also, only Rosalie is bitter that she can’t have kids. Leah is bitter because Sam chose Emily and left her. She is worried of the mere possibility that she might be infertile.

A 19th century farm boy born and raised in Houston, Texas, a Union soldier? It’s less likely than you think.

The whole point of Jasper’s story is that he learned to turn away from endless fighting and two wars (the Civil War and the vampiric one) and embraced a life of peace. It would make no sense for Jasper to have always been fighting on the right side of history, only to regret it (!!) and then turn away from that lifestyle.

Bella is a parentified teen, not an old soul. Except for her bookish favorites, her worldview and expectations are modern.

Also, vintage clothes are expensive as all fuck. Thrift stores are not as common or as easily accessible as big box stores. Bella is working class/low-income, living in that car sprawl hell that is Phoenix, AZ. She wouldn’t have been able to afford such clothes even if she wanted to. Nor does she have any older relatives who would give her their old clothing.

Bella’s parentification is not uniquely Mormon. There are families with a wide variety of faiths (or none whatsoever) with that same dynamic. It’s a dynamic that is present in many different cultures.

Not the goddamn khaki skirt nonsense again.

Khaki skirts were a thing in the 2000s. Hell, I even had a khaki skirt once upon a time in my elementary years. Dark days indeed. It’s not Meyer imposing her fashion choices, but her reflecting the fashion of the time.

Even Clown OP can only list like two characters. 🤣 It’s a play, it’s a tragicomedy.

Anyhoo, Tyler was not black. Laurent wasn’t, either. Movie canon is not and never will be canon.

Charlie’s a cop, a demographic notorious for domestic violence. Charlie may be a good egg, relatively speaking, but he’s still proudly from a small conservative (and obviously majority white) town. Of course he’ll have sexist hang-ups. Excluding matriarchal tribes, there is no society that doesn’t have permissive sexist attitudes towards male sexual aggression.

Yeah, it’s not as if Meyer created him or anything. Clown OP, what are you on?

Tell me you don’t know how parentification works without telling me you don’t know how parentification works.

We may all love to hate Renée, but at the end of the day, her narcissism is mild compared to more hostile forms. Narcissism is a spectrum, and Renée is at the lower end of it. Still bad, but not overt enough for Bella to realize what’s going on. Bella was a child, after all, and children tend to accept the reality of their situation. Of course she wouldn’t hate her mother. It takes a long time for most victims to come to terms with such an upbringing.

Because non-Mormon authors of YA paranormal romance would have definitely written a queer romance in the 2000s. Hell, the romance genre is still heteronormative. Things have much improved on that front, but only very recently.

Tell me you don’t know how romance works without telling me you don’t know how romance works.

The romance plot is an obstacle plot. When there are no more obstacles to overcome, the romance ends with the couple getting together—or failing to do so. Since Meyer agreed to extend her duology, Bella and Edward had to fuck in the fourth book.

Me: *stares in former teenager who never went to parties or drank alcohol outside of family gatherings*

We’re here, we exist, and fuck you too. As for Twilight, Bella was raised by a cop and a kindergarten teacher. She spent most of her childhood taking care of her mother, cooking, cleaning, and paying the bills. That doesn’t leave time or space for doing dumb teen shit. If there is an accident, that would have been an expense Renée would not have been able to afford.

Bella then moves to Forks, which is even more conservative and less ethnically/culturally diverse than Phoenix. Charlie mentions the trouble some teens get up to, but it’s clearly not anyone Bella would associate with. The likes of Mike and Jessica (clearly upper middle class teens) don’t do juvenile delinquency. And Bella does do typically reckless teenage stuff in her deep depression.

January 10th - LIVING WITH INTEGRITY

Life is a journey fraught with challenges and tribulations. Yet, amidst the storms, we must hold steadfast to our Buddhist values, for they are the compass that guides us towards a life of purpose and fulfillment.

Integrity is the bedrock upon which we build a life of true value. It is the harmony between our words and our deeds, the unwavering commitment to truthfulness and compassion, even when faced with adversity.

Remember, our actions ripple outwards, impacting not only ourselves but also those around us. By living ethically, we contribute to the betterment of society and inspire others to do the same.

The power of Nam Myoho Renge Kyo is immense. Chanting it with sincerity strengthens our resolve and empowers us to overcome obstacles, transforming suffering into happiness.

Never underestimate the importance of faith. It is the unwavering belief in the power of the Mystic Law and our own inherent Buddhahood that allows us to navigate life's complexities with resilience and courage.

Living with integrity is not a passive endeavor; it requires constant effort and self-reflection. But the rewards are immeasurable, leading to a life of deep meaning and purpose.
