HIIIIIII!!!! sorry if this is like a stupid ask lol, but could you do a stamp tutorial? your stamps are always so high quality oml, how do you resize your gifs and images???

HIIII and no worries, I can totally make a stamp tutorial! (⌒▽⌒)
I’ll be going through on how to make a normal image stamp and then a gif stamp. By following these two tutorials, you’ll be able to make stamps just like these!

PROGRAM USED ★ Ibispaint
STAMP TEMPLATE BY ★ AHMED-ART on Deviantart.
To start off, you must find an image you’d like to make into a stamp. Then, find a stamp template you think would pair well with your image. There are many different types of stamp templates out there and you can find a lot of them on Deviantart.
Make sure to read the terms of use for the template before using though! Here is the template I will be using for this tutorial.
Making stagnant stamps is easy once you got the steps down. You can use any art program and follow a similar process, but I only use Ibispaint to create mine.
First, create a canvas that is the same width and height as your stamp template. This one is 97x57. Most stamp templates have super similar proportions. If you are unsure of your stamps dimensions, you can create a 100x100 canvas then crop it around the stamp template once you have inserted it.
(Brush icon -> Canvas button -> Trim)
To get higher quality on the image inside your stamps: the closer the better! For example:
See how the first stamp’s image is rather far away? This makes the quality appear much lower. However, once you zoom in, it becomes higher! So I recommend finding images to create stamps out of that you are able to zoom in on so the quality can pop.
You’ll need to erase the parts of the image that don’t fit inside the stamp so it remains transparent around the border.
If you want to change the border color of the stamp, fill in the canvas with the color you want. Then, clip it to the stamp border. Lastly, go and set it on multiply. This will change the stamp borders color!

If you want to put a line texture on your stamp, you can utilize the ruler tool in Ibispaint to draw lines over your stamp.

I’ll add these every once and awhile to my stamps for fun. If you set the opacity of the lines to 10%, it’ll end up looking something like this.
And that’s the completed stamp!
Changing the border color and adding the line texture is completely optional, though it’s always fun to customize stamps!

PROGRAMS USED: Ibispaint, Ezgif
GIF stamps are a little trickier, but the process is not too difficult once you got it down!
First, find a gif that you would like to make into a stamp. I’ll be using this one!
if you want to have a different colored or customized stamp border, you must edit it on Ibispaint before like explained above.
You can combine the layers and save them transparently so it’ll end up looking something like this.
I made this one blue and added a gradient to it to match the gif I want to make into a stamp! You can add a gradient to the border by adding a darker color onto the multiply layer then using an airbrush to blend both colors together in the middle on both sides of the template.
Now, open up Ezgif and click the tab called Crop. Then, insert your stamp template there. The way I find the dimensions of the inside of the stamp is by cropping my way around the inside of the template.

The dimensions inside this template in particular are 91x51. This is what we will resize our gif to! Before we can do that, click the crop tab again at the top of the page to refresh it and then insert your gif. This isn’t required to do, but I like to crop my gifs a bit so they focus more on what is going on inside my stamp. Like I said before, the closer the better, as it will make the quality higher!

Now that we have our cropped gif, click the tab called resize at the bottom of the page. The dimensions of the inside of this stamp are 91x51, so insert those numbers in the width and height boxes to then resize the gif.

Next step is to click the overlay tab at the bottom. You will need to click the button that says “extend canvas size” so we have room to overlay the stamp template on top of the gif. After extending the size, upload the stamp template as an overlay where it says choose file.

On computer, after clicking upload image, you can just drag the stamp template over the gif and situate it. However, you can also figure out the number coordinations to fix the template ontop of the gif by messing around with it a bit. I make my graphics on my phone so I use the numbers instead of dragging.

Left means to move the template left or right depending on the numbers you insert. Top moves the template up or down. The left for this template is 42 and the top is 21. It takes a bit of messing around to find the exact numbers.
Now that the template is ontop of the gif, all that is left to do is to crop the space around it. Click the crop tab again at the bottom of the page and then click where it says “trim transparent pixels around the image.” This will easily crop the extra space around the stamp.

Click download to save your gif and that’s it! Here is the finished product!
The whole process for making gif stamps is always the same, the only things that can vary or change are the dimensions of the gif (so it can fit inside different templates) and the left/right.
I hope you find this tutorial helpful and if anyone needs anything else explained, let me know. These stamps are free to use if anyone would also like to use them.
Happy stamp making everyone! 🩷

Astrology Notes/Observations:
(please do not copy or repost on other platforms)
Every time a Saturn-Venus native tries to reduce signs of aging, an angel loses its wings 💔 but seriously, old age suits these people SO well - if you have this placement please keep all your greys and fine lines!! I beg! (i may be slightly biased because i think aging looks great on everyone, but these individuals wear it particularly well).
Mars-Moon/Cancer Mars/Mars influencing the 4th house = angry criers
I find those with Neptune influence on the ascendant can seem to resemble almost anyone they stand next to; they may often be told they remind others of different people. (Neptune = illusions, fluidity, ambiguity, Ascendant = physical appearance).
Mercury in the 5th house synastry: We may be more likely to use pet names/terms of endearment here, even if it's not usually our thing - it feels natural to express affection (5H) in conversation (Mercury). The nicknames we have for each other may also be unique or creative in some way.
Those with Venus in the 1st have an eye for beauty and can really excel in fields related to artistry, appearance, or refinement of some kind (e.g., makeup artistry, styling, design, illustration, etc.) These people instinctively know what looks good.
3H Mars synastry 🤝 arguing like siblings
Having Capricorn over the 5th house can sometimes indicate having a preference for music/films/books that are quite dated; these people tend to have a highly developed and mature taste in art/media.
Having Neptune influencing the 3rd or 11th house can indicate feeling invisible or forgotten among peers - these people might feel they blend into the background in social settings.
Mars transits tend to instill a sense of urgency in whichever house is being affected. For example:
Mars transiting our 6H - feeling pushed to get our life in order, driven to create structure + take action surrounding work/responsibilities.
Mars transiting our 9H - feeling pushed to expand our horizons (possibly through long-distance travel, higher education, etc.) feeling anxious/unsettled staying where we are in life, wanting to explore.
Mars transiting our 10H - feeling pushed to determine our 'purpose'/vocation or take action in pursuing our ambitions, feeling driven toward success.
8th housers often take pride in their ability to psychoanalyze people; they are not, however, always good at it - these people can be real armchair psychologists (sorry).
Saturn transiting the 5th house: Things that may have otherwise been fleeting interests can become long-lasting fixations during this time (i.e., romances, hobbies, modes of self expression). Saturn is infusing this normally carefree house with a sense of gravity and endurance.
Having Uranus in the 4th house can sometimes point to living far away from family or being habitually away from the home/family.
I've found Mercury-Venus aspects in synastry (particularly the harsh aspects) can show up as the Mercury person constantly pointing out Venus' flaws or insecurities, sometimes without even realizing. Mercury can also be critical of Venus' social skills and may try to correct qualities of theirs they perceive as unlikable. Venus is put off by the Mercury person's endless nitpicking and might pull back from connecting as a result.
We might find we cry more easily when the Moon is transiting a water sign (Cancer/Scorpio/Pisces) or when transiting Moon is forming an aspect to our natal Moon. This can also be true for transiting Moon touching our IC/4th house.
I've noticed Mars-Mercury natives tend to enjoy banter more than most.
Neptune influencing Mercury/3H in the natal chart can sometimes indicate being good at impressions or being able to easily alter one's voice/speech - this can be a great placement for actors (especially voice actors).
I find those with 7th house placements are often more codependent/relationship-oriented than those with Libra placements alone.
I know it's been said before, but Scorpio risings really do resemble vampires (Nicole Kidman, Diana Ross, Kate Bush, Prince, Lana Del Ray, Frank Ocean, Lily Rose Depp, Fiona Apple..i mean come on!!)
I recently came across a video of Sheryl Lee Ralph discussing the freedom within her marriage, saying "[My husband] has his own life, I have my own life. He has his own real career, I have my own real career. He has his light to stand in, I have my light to stand in. [...] He's doing his thing, I get to do my thing. We also live in separate places; when I go to see him, love to see him. When it's time to leave, 'bye-bye, see ya soon.' I'm telling you, life is good; perfect!" I looked up her chart and of course she's a Sagittarius Venus LMAO - she really is in her ideal relationship. (Jupiter-Venus natives may relate to this as well.)
That's all, thanks for reading!

⪩⪨ ASTRO OBSERVATIONS PT 3



Please take all of these predictions with a grain of salt I'm not a professional astrologer.
And here's my masterlist
NATAL OBSERVATIONS
☀️ Neptune trine Pluto can also have exceptional psychic abilities [except they keep dismissing their abilities as mere coincidence]
☀️ Most dancers in many kpop groups tend to have Aries Sun or prominent Aries placement in their chart.
☀️ Pisces Moons tend to overdo their confidence, trying to hide the insecurities they have deep down.
☀️ Pisces Sun's are also good at manifesting provided they know that their good at it.
☀️ In many cases if you and your siblings have opposite rising signs you may look completely different from each other.
For example : If your a Taurus rising and your siblings is a Scorpio rising you both will look so different people can doubt your even siblings
☀️ Debilitated moons can signify unhealthy attachments towards the mother.
☀️ During your birth if your Moon left its previous sign and just entered its next sign, again you guys could also share the qualities of both those signs.
For example : Moon left Capricorn and just entered Aquarius you can have the traits of both Capricorn as well as Aquarius.
☀️ Check where you have Aquarius in your chart you feel like an outcast more in that place.
☀️ Capricorn risings are so much interested in crime documentaries, murder mysteries, solving criminal cases.
☀️ Pluto in the 3rd house can get bullied when young, being bullied for your intelligence, people considering you dumb hence they can also have trouble communicating their feelings with others most will keep to themselves.
☀️ Mars in the 7th house [men] tend to like women who are ultra feminine.
☀️ Venus in Leo in 8th house tend to get in laws that have a higher social status than them.
☀️ Leo Moons look up or learn from their mothers more than their fathers. Their mothers are also quite controlling and dominating towards the child as well as the natives father.
☀️ Mercury - Pluto aspects have a harsh way of talking sometimes they don't want to come off as rude but they still do. Often times whatever they say is incorrectly interpret or misunderstood by people.
☀️ Same goes for Mercury Square Saturn except these people have mastered sarcasm, they aren't blunt like Pluto rather sarcastic.
VEDIC OBSERVATIONS
☀️ A person having Rahu in Bharani nakshatra may end up evoking a desire in the opposite gender unintentionally.
☀️ 3rd house Ketu 🤝 never running out of hard cash.
☀️ Also if your 1st house lord sits in the 7th house then that can at times give you a low self esteem same goes for Sun in the 7th house.
☀️ Purva Phalguni moons tend to have a good childhood but they have to adjust and sacrifice alot in their married life.
☀️ Also Purva phalguni moons [women] tend to love their spouse more, but that love isn't much reciprocate.
☀️ Purva Ashada Nakshatras are so good at teaching and also at research work. In group projects they end up giving excellent ideas. They also get the due recognition for the work they do.
☀️ Many a times if you have a Nakshatra that shares itself with two signs you can have qualities of both those signs in you [Chitra Nakshatra shares itself with both Virgo and Libra].
☀️ [Now this is my opinion and it can be wrong but still ☺️] I feel all signs attract envy in their own way, Scorpio and Leo's attract alot because their ruled by such fiery planets like Mars and Sun.
☀️ If Mars is aspected by Rahu or in conjunction with Rahu it can also give a person tendencies to doubt their own strengths and talents.
☀️ Hasta Moons or Rising both are soo good at drawing, mehndi, creating best out of waste, handicrafts, hand embroidery. More than cooking their good at cutting vegetables and decorating dishes. Also great at hairstyling. However they can be great dentists and surgeons as well [They get less credit for this]
☀️ Shravan Nakshatra is one of the most intuitive nakshatras, their another walking lie detectors.
☀️ Uttara Bhadrapada gives you blessings for the good karma you did in your past life.
☀️ Sun as your darakaraka can also give you a husband who would often show you off to others.
☀️ Ketu in the 7th house doesn't mean one won't get married they can get married but they will stay away from each other, like having jobs in two different places [long distance marriages].
Credits for the images and dividers goes to the rightful owners.

6 Types of Protection Magick
There are many ways one can do protective magick. In this post I'll be going into 6 of the most common and accessible ones!
Please understand that even one "protection magick type" can be done in an infinity of ways, some of which are closed to certain practices.
Disclaimer: based on my experience and research. I don't claim to know all truth. Further study is encouraged!
_________________♡♤◇♧_________________
#1 — Magic circle
The magic circle consists of creating a protection and delimiting a sacred space for magic and/or ritual.
The magic circle is probably one of the most popular protection methods thanks to its encouraged use in Wicca. However, other traditions have made use of similar concepts, such as in the afro-brazillian Umbanda concept of "chain".
The circle can be physically drawn on the ground, delimited by the members inside the circle, or visualized.
Casting one is fairly simple since it can be done in different ways, either in groups or solitary practice. You can use tools such as wands, chalk or physical objects to draw it, but what matters most is intention and successful visualization.
Before casting a circle it's important to have everything you will need already within grasp and inside the circle, since once created it is advisable that no one leaves it until the work is complete.
#2 — Amulets, and Enchanted Items

Enchanted Items are a very popular and effective form of magic, especially for personal use. These are often common objects that have been enchanted for protection.
They are often necklaces, rings and other jewelry since these are the most practical to carry around without suspicion. However, they can be any object.
Amulets can be created via enchanting, charms, or by asking deities and spirits to bless them with protective qualities.
The material and imagery used to create the talisman is also important in determining the kind of job it wants to do.
#3 — Sigils and other drawn Symbols

Sigils and Symbols can be used both for personal protection and for warding spaces. Here I am also including Runes.
They can be carved into objects, drawn upon skin and surfaces, or even tattooed.
However, before using any sigil, symbol or rune it is of extreme importance that you know exactly what they do, and know as much about them as possible. Especially if you plan on drawing them on your skin (either temporarily or permanently).
Unless specifically used only for protection purposes, inadequate use of them can lead to disaster. Even then, the type of protection they bring can vary.
For example, a protection sigil that works by hiding you from threats is different from a sigil that fights threats that come to you. It's important to set or to know how their protection work so that you do not come across unwanted results.
#4 — Prayer
My definition of praying: focusing on sending a message to a higher spiritual power, be it an entity, deity or energy.
Prayers are a great way of manifesting protection, though since you are asking for it to a higher power you must understand that it may choose to not grant it, or not grant it in the way you expect.
Plus, it is very important to know where you stand with this energy or entity. Do you work with them already? For how long? What is the nature of the relationship? Do you truly know them well enough to ask them for this? Is it really appropriate?
Cultivating a good relationship and having manners can be decisive factors for manifesting this sort of protection. Plus, it's always good to "give back" in some way. To receive something, something must be given eventually.
#5 — Affirmations and Visualizations
Words and the mind have innate power. Affirmations and visualizations are great ways to manifest protections because they rely only on yourself.
They are easier to do right if you use them together with other methods, or if you have physical representations of the work being done. To be successful one must focus, "feel" them happening, and maintaining that without help can be difficult. Frequent practice will help you get the hang of it.
There are also techniques that make affirmations and visualizations both more powerful and easier to accomplish.
#6 — Warding

Warding is when you set up a semi-permanent protection in a specific place, such as your house.
It can be done in many different ways. One of the most common is to have an object or place designated as the "holder" of the ward, which should be well kept.
Warding will be more powerful if you are frequently cleansing the space and recharging the ward. Leaving it alone for too long can weaken in or make it lose its properties altogether.
Some plants are used for this kind of protection, since they (usually) stay in place, can be powerful magical allies, and you'll be checking on them often anyway. The ones usued are often those with thorns, threatening-looking leaves, or even poison.
Note: always be very careful about bringing poisonous plants home, especially if you have children or pets.
Conclusion
This was an overview of the most common types of protective magick. A lot of protection spells and works fall somewhere within these categories, or are a combination of them.
Each tradition has a certain way of going about spiritual protection, so if you are exploring an specific path, I encourage you to not only research about protection in general but to also look into what unique techniques your path has to offer!
Many blessings and thank you for reading! ♡

The Amazing Digital Circus is receiving a manga adaptation in CoroCoro!

Rough translation, from right to left:
Large text on right: "Where is the exit?" Smaller text on right: "The show everyone's talking about, with over 400 million views on YouTube!!" Large text on left: "The world-renowned dark comedy cartoon, fully adapted to comics!"
A few hours ago, the official Japanese TADC Twitter account revealed that a manga adaptation of the series would begin running in the December issue of CoroCoro Ichiban! (to be released on October 21st, 2024). It will also be published simultaneously in the online edition of Weekly CoroCoro Comic - despite the magazine's name, it will still be on a monthly schedule.
So what'll it be like? Well, while every magazine under the CoroCoro brand is generally targeted towards grade schoolers, CoroCoro Ichiban! in particular skews even younger, frequently featuring gag comedies. Furthermore, the author - known mononymously as "Sakura" (咲良) - has experience in that genre, having adapted Nintendo's ARMS into ARMS: Skillful Gag Fight! (ARMS スゴウデギャグファイト!) for the magazine between 2017 and 2018.
However, I'm reasonably confident this adaptation will retain the bleaker edges of the original series. Not only does the above promotional image explicitly call it a "dark comedy" (and further implies it'll be a faithful adaptation by using "完全," translated above as "full"), but this is the page they chose to release as a preview:

Rough translation, again:
(The bit above the logo just means "New series!") [Why is this girl running...?] Gotta hide, gotta hide, gotta hide,
(As a side note: I should mention that the above two images were both taken from the artist's later tweet about the manga, since they were higher quality. They're cropped a little more, but not enough to really infringe on their contents.)
Looking over the QRTs, both Japanese and English responses were equally surprised to learn about this. A couple of Japanese Twitter users were specifically bewildered that it was running in the especially child-focused Ichiban! - here's one as an example:
Very roughly translated:
"A Digital Circus series will run in Weekly CoroCoro Comic!" 👆 Huh?!?! Well, if it's in Weekly CoroCoro, I guess I'll check it out… "Also running in CoroCoro Ichiban! (mag for young children)!" 👆 HUH????!!!!???!!!????!!!!!!!!!?!
Finally, for completeness's sake, here's the last promotional image from the announcement:

Hi, *insert childhood adoration here* just got home from work and don't really have access to true coherent thought. Um. Okay.
Do you know why sometimes, books in a series, from the same publisher, will be in two different sizes? My sister and I figured out that sometimes the exact same book from the same publisher will have two different thicknesses of paper and so one will be slightly thicker, but we can't work out the height and width thing. Same cover design type, like, same edition. Just. One of them is bigger. Do you know why?
Thanks for the wizard books that first made friends of my cousin and me.
First: you're very welcome. I'm glad to have been of service.
On the size question, though: This is one of the Great Imponderables that drives books' writers at least as far around the bend as their readers.
Now there are some explanations that make at least some kind of sense. Sometimes, for example, even within a single edition of a single book, there may be difference-in-thickness issues for some concrete reason: the challenge is discovering which reason (assuming the publisher hasn't themselves told you about it, which is likely to be the case about 99% of the time). ...A common problem is when, for some reason to do with ongoing geopolitical crap or national/international crises, the price of paper changes suddenly. This will cause publishers to try to reduce costs on a book by (the next time it goes back to press) changing the paper quality for something thinner. One of these changes might come between volumes of a series, which is why you might suddenly get a difference between the paper quality of book 5 and book 6 of what's otherwise supposed to be a unified set.
(There's also a similar weirdness in which going up a level of paper thickness will allow your publisher to shove a book of a given length into a slightly higher price point. So, whammo, it happens, and no one bothers consulting you about this detail.)
Or alternately: All of a sudden, somebody at your publisher decides that your series needs to be packaged in a slightly different format that—for reasons that possibly no one in the field even fully understands—is becoming associated with better sales at some other publisher (or some other imprint at your own publisher). So, bang, between one book of a series and the next, the next volume to come out is a quarter inch taller or half an inch wider. And/or 15% thicker (because the pulp of the paper involved has had more air pumped into it than previously). And your books will continue to look like that until some other fad or trend at the packaging end affects them.
(Or alternately, it doesn't affect them, because your publisher's focus has changed in some inexplicable way—or the in-house accountants have crunched their numbers in some new manner—and they've decided your books aren't worth spending the format-change money on.)
(sigh) Tl:dr; There's no damn telling. (It's vanishingly rare that anybody tells us, anyway.) And I wish I had a clearer answer for you than this. Apologies. :/

how to raise your vibrations



having high vibrational energy is one of the essential qualities to living out a positive lifestyle and achieving happiness in your everyday life. here’s some tips on how to raise your vibrations:
decide what behaviors or actions that you will no longer tolerate from yourself or others. our everyday behaviors lead to our actions which create a pattern in our lives, no matter good or bad. sometimes, we don’t notice how effective our behaviors are on our lifestyle so it’s always best to self reflect and separate what is fulfilling from what is draining. some low vibrational behaviors to get rid of may include gossip, engaging in social media or real life drama, changing or adapting to please others, bad or inconsistent communication, arguing, toxicity, discomfort, and draining distractions. these are all negative patterns and can lead to negative outcomes such as, laziness, constant negativity, stress and depression. remember, it’s essential to reflect and make room for any positive changes that can move you in the right direction.
get clear on what lights you up and make space for it regularly. having clarity on what it is that you desire in this life will lead you to the depths of your life’s purpose and ultimately raise your vibrations. try writing in a journal, scripting in a notebook, reading self help books, and mindfulness meditation alone to help you get clarity on your aspirations. ask yourself questions like, “what do I enjoy doing?” or “what excites me the most?”. these questions will lead you to more answers about who you are. once your passions, hobbies or interests are discovered, make time for those things everyday to feel a sense of accomplishment and move forward towards your goals. try fulfilling outlets like going to the gym, painting, scrapbooking to help clear your mind.
visualize and embody your dream life daily. visualization helps tremendously with creating high vibrational energy because it gives you a sense of hope. you feel hopeful and optimistic knowing that a higher version of yourself is already living the life you’re visualizing. it’s helpful to visualize your success but also do things that align with your success. speak, act, and think like the person you want to become. for example, if your goal is to become the best version of yourself, do things like exercise, eat healthy, pick up a book instead of scrolling on social media, or make a vision board.
let go of needing something outside of basic essentials. comparison is the thief of joy, you don’t need the luxuries to be happy. be grateful in all circumstances for what you already have. this attracts more to be grateful for and allows more high vibrational energy to flow. fulfillment comes from within and happiness is a choice. intentionally choose everyday to surrender and express gratitude while also having faith that the best outcomes are on your path. this is the recipe for positive alignment. you are exactly where you need to be!
be willing to let go of that personality that doesn’t support the next version of yourself. if you notice that you may be the type of person who is easily irritated or upset, attention seeking, have FOMO, take everything seriously, or have any toxic traits, it may be best to reevaluate yourself and focus on shedding those negative thought patterns. think of it like a snake shedding its old skin to make way for new growth. it’s a necessary part of evolving into the best version of yourself and raising your vibrations. having negative personality traits can lead to low vibrational energy which can feel like you’re stuck in a never ending cycle of unhappiness. letting go of those traits can and will align you with a more fulfilling, successful, and positive life.
speak positively. those inner thoughts that we face daily can put us in a low vibrational state especially if they consist of thoughts of judgment, rudeness, or annoyance. aim to compliment instead of insulting and show compassion instead of judging. speaking positively over yourself and others will align you will a more positive state of mind which can help you to be more aware with your thoughts. you are perfect just the way you are and everything is going to work out. have a positive mindset towards life to reap those positive outcomes!
raising your vibrations consist of positive energy, emotional wellbeing and a sense of peace. it is always good to maintain high vibrations because it is a key part to maintaining a healthy mind, body, and soul. high vibrations can attract more positive experiences and opportunities into your life. vibe high and take care of yourself! 🕯️

hi sole! your sharpening is always so soft and pretty, i was wondering if you would be open to share it? hope you are having a wonderful november so far <3
Hi, Anon! Thank you so much <3 Yeah, sure, tutorial under the cut:
What you'll need:
Photoshop (I use Photoshop 2023)
Basic knowledge on how to make gifs
Camera Raw filter installed
Okay so, first of all, I use two different methods depending on the size of the gif. Let's start with the one I use for most of my gifsets which are big gifs (examples: x x x x.)
METHOD #1: Smart Sharpen + Camera Raw
I started using the Camera Raw filter last year and let me tell you, I'm obsessed! It completely changes the game of sharpening. I use this method for all gifs with a 540px width.
We're going to work on timeline so get your gif ready and convert it for smart filters. I'm using this scene from my last set as a base:
Here's the gif after I color it (I usually sharpen my gifs before I color them but for the sake of the tutorial I'm showing you this so you guys can see the difference):
(1) Smart Sharpen Layer: Let's start by adding a Smart Sharpen layer (Filter > Sharpen > Smart Sharpen) with these settings:
Disclaimer: I didn't come up with these settings myself I got them from these sharpening actions forever ago so I don't know which one it is :/. I also wasn't able to find that person's new blog (if they even have one since they've been inactive since 2021) so if anyone knows please let me know and I'll give them proper credit!
Now we're going to go to the 'Layers' panel and click on this little thingy:
This window will pop up and we are going to change the Opacity to 50%.
(2) Camera Raw Filter: Here's where the fun begins. Go to Filter and click on Camera Raw Filter (you'll need to have the plugin installed for it to show up.) I don't know how the Camera Raw window will look like the first time you open it but good thing you only need to change a couple of things!
If it isn't opened yet click on 'Effects' and we're going to change the Texture and Clarity:
Depending on the scene/show/film I'm giffing, or if I want a stronger or softer sharpening, I'll use two different settings, but 99% of the time they are these:
First setting: Texture (+20) Clarity (+10)
Second setting: Texture (+40) Clarity (+20)
As you can see the difference isn't huge but the first setting gives a "softer" look. As I said I'll use one or the other depending on how I see the scene (it's almost always about the vibes yk.)
Feel free to experiment with these two and see what works best for you (although I wouldn't go higher than 40 on texture because the sharpening will look too fake imo.)
Also this filter is soooo good at making low quality videos look 1080p! Every time I've had to use 720p videos the Camera Raw filter has saved me 🫡
METHOD #2: Smart Sharpen
I use this method for smaller gifs. For example, 8 gifs of 268px x 180px sets (like these) or small-ish gifs in complex sets (like the second gifs in this set.)
This process is much simpler since it's the one I explained before but without adding the Camera Raw filter. That's it that's the method. Just a Smart Sharpen layer with the Opacity turned down to 50%.
As I said this method looks best on smaller gifs but to be honest it looks good on big gifs too? Depends on what you like most!
Anyway I hope this was easy to follow and if anyone has any questions please feel free to dm me or send an ask! ♡

Hello Ghesties, Ghouls & Ghoulettes! Welcome to Angels run-down show-down, where I (Angel) do a run down of the Ghovie for all you lovely folk!!
Didn’t get the chance to see the Ghovie aka Rite Here Rite Now? Fear not for I am here! This post will contain a run-down of what happened during the Ghovie.
So this is your warning:
‼️SPOILERS AHEAD ‼️
I will be breaking this down into separate parts:
Lore: contains all lore that was mentioned
Songs: songs that were played
And Theatrics: stage play and other attributes that happened.
Another fair warning: there is a possibility that not everything that happened in the movie is noted here, I may have forgotten some things!! But I will do my best to include everything🤍
Additional notes: many fans including me were worried that this project would be incredibly low quality due to the fact it’s a movie operated by a band. More so worried that the movie would be the same quality as the YouTube episodes. I can confirm that the camera quality for this movie is amazing. You can compare the filmography to Taylor swifts era tour movie. Each shot for rite here rite now is shot with a high-to-low speed motion camera. The audio quality is above and beyond, even nihils ghost is very detailed and realistic. Every film shot is synchronized with the songs and instruments (example: camera changes for each beat/camera focuses on certain ghouls for their assigned solo)
Lore:
Story: the plot of the ghovie is a showcase of their Kia forum concert mixed with short lore scenes. Between every 2-3 songs there would be a scene of Copia running behind stage and talking with imperator and nihil OR getting dressed and ready for his next performance.
When he talked with imperator and nihil, he mostly talked to them about what would happen after the concert. Nihil and imperator told him numerous times that he was “focusing to much on the past and future instead of living in the moment, living right here, right now.”
Copia realizes this before he does his encore, so he goes out and does a great encore assuming he’ll soon die. After the encore and when the concert is finished, unfortunately imperator dies and gives a note to Copia.
The note states that he will not die, but rather be gifted a new higher status in the clergy. In which he’ll further be known as Frater (Latin for brother, which makes sense if we think about the title for sister imperator). And because there is no head for the ghost project they will bring in a new front man. The movie ends before the front man is revealed and we are left on a cliffhanger.
The lore for the ghovie is very similar and the same to what we already know! Not to much was revealed but here were the key points of what was mentioned:
⭐️the other brothers were not directly mentioned or shown on camera. The only references to the other emeritus brothers was the backdrop for the stage (stained glass windows portraying the previous brothers & nihil)
⭐️it was confirmed that Nihil was copias father and that during the kiss the go-goat music video sister imperator was pregnant with Copia.
⭐️Copia even acknowledges nihil as his dad, in one scene where he says “thanks dad”
⭐️sister imperator ends up passing at the end of the movie but becomes a spirit and is seen with the rest of the spirits (nihil and the twins, yes, the twins seem in the YouTube episodes apparently have died)
⭐️the ghouls were not to involved with the lore except for the fact they all surrounded imperators dead body when she passed. (Idk if this counts as lore but) the ghouls also talked in the movie, only for a small scene though. Bass ghoul (Rain) is the ghoul that talked.
⭐️nihil says that he produced three songs. The third song is the one we see during the credits. Song is : the future is a foreign land, as shown here:
SONGS:
The songs that played were the ones that were played at the Kia forum shows. Songs that where played included:
⚡️imperium (pre - opener)
⚡️Kaisarion (opener/curtain pull) (also if I remember correctly there was a short clip of a harp but I’m not sure if it was being played or not during that song.)
⚡️rats
⚡️faith
⚡️spillways
⚡️Cirice (he ciriced the camera making it look like he Ciriced us)
⚡️Absolution
⚡️ritual
⚡️call me little sunshine
⚡️con clavi con dio
⚡️ watcher in the sky
⚡️ if you have ghosts (acoustic version with two cellos, violin & harp ghoulettes. As well as a background vocalist ghoulette who did absolutely amazing! Also papa gives a speech about how “everyone is important and that their presence at that concert was inspiring”)
⚡️dominion
⚡️ Twenties (body painted skeleton dancers came out and performed on stage, they did cartwheels, threw eachother around and even picked up cardi)
⚡️year zero
⚡️spoksonat
⚡️he is (I cried)
⚡️miasma (nihil told Copia that he didn’t want to die, but even when he did he was still happy because he got to perform and bring joy to people temporarily when they revived him. Nihil also told Copia to focus on the good in life)
⚡️Mary on a cross (animated in a scooby-doo style, where nihil chases around imperator as she fights him and runs away)
⚡️ mummy dust
⚡️respite on the spitalfields (each ghoul/ghoulette got a solo)
⚡️ kiss the go-goat
⚡️dance macabre (skeleton dancers come out for a second time with silk fans)
⚡️square hammer
THEATRICS:
Some silly theatrics that happened include:
💙Copia huffing the gas from a whip-cream can before performing.
💙jumped in a storage transfer crate and had a whole convo with nihil.
💙has a the tour manager (Ashley) come out on stage and change his shoes for him.
💙only Copia can see the spirits of his family, so when he would talk to nihil or imperator, spectators around him would think he’s crazy and talking to himself.
💙many of the behind the scenes crew of the band were included in the movie such as : Ashley(tour manager), and many of the security guards & jesus( you know who lol)
💙remember when everyone was freaking out about the fact there’d be a blowjob reference? Yeah well there was no actual blow job scene, the warning for the blow job was for when Kyle aka Jesus came out and blew away the confetti.
💙there is also a scene at the end in which Copia is flying away from the concert (I guess that’s his preferred way of transportation lol??) he is flying in the hot air balloon we see in the cover for rite here rite now. He flies into space before falling, ouch!
💙during his flight there’s a montage of sister imperator being pregnant with him, during this montage we see twins. Twin babies, twin children. We are unsure if this is a reference to Tobias’s twins or if Copia has a twin.
.
If I forgot to add anything or got info wrong please feel free to leave a comment and I will correct myself as fast as possible!!
Don’t you feel it Angel? I do⚡️

𝔄𝔰𝔱𝔯𝔬 𝔬𝔟𝔰𝔢𝔯𝔳𝔞𝔱𝔦𝔬𝔫𝔰
If you have any placements in virgo, WRITE THINGS DOWN. You are influenced by mercury as Virgo's planetary ruler, however you are also an earth sign. You cannot handle that fast paced energy of Mercury as well as gemini. You need to lament on things decisions/ideas a little longer. You prefer to take your time. instead of having those thoughts bouncing around your head, calm yourself by getting them on paper. You also naturally have an ability for writing.
Having your moon in the 11th house is such an underrated placement. The 11th house is one of the houses that is about people as a collective. Having your moon here you have a really easy time connecting with people, people will regard you as genuine and comforting. Along with this the 11th house is also the house of gains. This shows that often people will their moon here find gains through their emotions, whether that be success, recognition for their work, or becoming known for this. I have seen this in a lot of creative peoples charts, or people who have been known for their emotional displays in some form. For example, Billie Ellish, Oprah Winfrey, Elizabeth Taylor, Martin Luther King, Fiona Apple, Ryan Gosling. There is a skill here of really being able to connect with a mass of people or the collective.
Neptune in the 3rd house is a placement that I don't hear spoken about too often. But it's one of my favourites. These people Can be soft spoken and have a beautiful voice, spoken and sometimes signing also. Along with this they are incredibly enchanting hone they speak, there is something captivating about how they communicate. People will hang on their every word. Neptune is the higher octave of Venus which gives these people a way with their words, very creative. These people are often signers or poets or simply incredibly good at inciting emotions when they speak. There is almost something magical, as if they are casting a spell in a way. Its vulnerable, seductive and dreamy energy.
An aspect I like to see in a birth chart is a Quincunx. Whilst this might seem like a funny thing to say, considering that this aspect can be a difficult energy to harmonise, I actually enjoy the juxtaposition it brings to a person. It gives someone a quality that, at first glance or even when getting to know them, is quite unexpected. A little surprise. Something that takes people back, some nuance. I makes someone interesting and sometimes even misunderstood. As mentioned it can even be hard for these people themselves to undertones these opposite sides/needs within themselves.
Thank you for reading all,

Writing Notes for your Sex Scenes
Sex - a physical bonding activity that can be an important part of many types of relationships—including monogamous, polyamorous, and open partnerships—because it can offer increased emotional intimacy, a stronger self-image for each partner, and stress relief.
Avoid looking for a one-size-fits-all solution to sex in a relationship; you can have a strong, healthy relationship regardless of the amount of sexual activity.
While many people require frequent sexual activity for a strong romantic relationship, many others—including asexual individuals and those with low libidos—enjoy deep and meaningful partnerships without using sex as a key component.
Benefits of Sex for a Relationship
In relationships in which each partner feels sexual desire and wants to be sexually active, a healthy sex life can offer significant benefits, including:
A stronger self-image: Sexual activity is a physical act that emphasizes the pleasure your body can give and receive; mindful, regular sex can increase confidence, self-esteem, and body positivity for each partner, allowing you to carry these feelings into other areas of your life.
Increased intimacy: Sexual activity is a type of physical intimacy that releases the hormone oxytocin, which produces feelings of emotional connection and intimacy. Therefore, sex can deepen the bonds between partners and foster feelings of closeness, emotional well-being, and relationship satisfaction.
Stress relief: Good sex is a stress-relieving activity that releases endorphins, producing feelings of relaxation and satisfaction that can help melt away the stresses of a difficult day. In the same way, sexual satisfaction and orgasm can help foster better sleep.
Talking About Sex With Your Partner (or Partners)
Communication about sexual intimacy is vital in any healthy sexual relationship because it allows each participant to build a connection that is more in tune with each partner’s desires and comfort zones. Here are a few tips to help you talk to your partners about sex:
Avoid critical statements. It’s normal for sexual partners to be sensitive when talking about intimacy (especially if it’s your first time communicating like this), so be as kind and positive as possible. Rather than saying, “I wish we had more oral sex,” try a more encouraging phrasing like “I love it when you go down on me—it would turn me on a lot if you did it even more.” Avoid phrasing that could sound accusatory; where possible, frame your comments as “I-statements” or “we-statements.” For example, try “I would love it if we tried…” or “Would it be fun if we tried…” rather than “you-statements” like “You should…” or “What if you tried…” to shift the focus and tone.
Avoid focusing on sexual frequency. You can have a good sex life regardless of the amount of sex you engage in; it’s about staying in tune with each partner’s interests and sexual desires. This may mean less sex but higher-quality sex, or it may mean planning masturbation sessions when one partner isn’t feeling in the mood. When you talk about sex with your partner or partners, keep in mind that the goal is mutual wellness rather than more sex.
Be open and honest. Talking openly and truthfully is essential for a healthy sexual conversation. The information you share helps your partner or partners improve their understanding of your sexual preferences and encourages them to share their desires honestly. Being up-front and honest about your feelings around sex will create a safe space for you to develop your sexual relationship together; the best sex is sex that is collaborative and trusting.
Choose a calm and comforting moment. Sex can be a difficult and sensitive subject for many people, so ensure conversations about sex happen in spaces that feel safe and relaxed. Avoid initiating the conversation during or immediately after a difficult moment; instead, try talking during a relaxed cuddling session or in a room other than the bedroom. This creates a safer, less charged space for open discussion.
Discuss libido and interest. Sex is only a beneficial part of a relationship if each partner wants it. If you find that your partner seems less interested in sex than you are, sit down and have an honest conversation with them. Ask if there are things in their life that seem to get in the way of their sex drive, if there is a type of sex they’re interested in that you haven’t explored together yet, or if they have a major sexual turnoff they haven’t shared yet. Investigate the other areas of the relationship you could improve together to work toward a healthier sex life.
Involve a sex therapist. If you or your partner or partners struggle to communicate about your sexual relationship or insecurities, consider consulting a sexual health professional to help facilitate the conversation and help you work toward a healthier bond and better sex.

i think for me, the watcher situation comes down to this:
it's absolutely respectable that the watcher team wants to grow and produce better quality content. it's respectable that they don't want to stagnate and end up pushing the same content out over and over again. that's not satisfying for them creatively, i get that.
however, if higher quality, more heavily produced content is not what your fans are asking for, then you can't ask them to fund it.
this all-or-nothing method they've gone for is frankly bizarre. it feels like they leap-frogged all other alternatives to improving their finances and ended up here, alienating and frustrating the majority of their fanbase (the fanbase they thanked for getting them to where they are).
i think this could have gone a lot better if they:
Hadn't hyped up this video for a week.
Hadn't announced the worth it successor just beforehand.
Hadn't put out a wishy-washy, "boo hoo we're so sad about this", over-produced video.
Hadn't made it $6/month (more in a lot of countries given exchange rates).
Had considered that this means fans in specific countries literally cannot pay for the subscription due to geo/region-locking.
my ideas for improving their funds, aka things they could have tried before blowing their brand up: create their own website with two options - a free version with ads and a paid version without ads, OR make better use of their patreon/make their website extra content, not all their content, for example:
Put the ghost file debriefs on there.
Put shows like survival mode on there (or even shift that show from pre-recorded video to live-stream - live stream access to patrons and VOD access to everyone, maybe).
Put episode commentaries there.
Do reaction videos to their old buzzfeed content, talk about memories and BTS, and put that there.
Put one/two episodes of each show, per season on there (and ONLY there).
Put the episodes up there a few days early.
Make specific, website only content (that's not your main and most popular series aka ghost files and puppet history).
Record the live, in-person shows and put those VODs up there.
EDIT (thought of something else lmao): put extended or even uncut versions of ghost files on there. Paranormal Detour on Detune's twitch channel has shown that people will willingly sit through 6+ hours of a ghost investigation.
EDIT: idk, do livestreams once a week where you watch scary movies with fans on discord or twitch.
(side note: the fact that they're not taking down their patreon and instead shifting all of their podcast content on there, something the patreons who have been loyally giving them money for years didn't ask for, is ridiculous and greedy. add to this the fact that they don't even get a free sub to the new website, instead get 40% off - a measly 10% more than anyone else who subs before the official launch).
the thing for me is that they're claiming they want to make "television" and "television-grade content". that's completely fine. what's not completely fine is acting like your four episodes a month is equal to netflix's entire catalogue.
this really felt like it should have been something they told us they were progressing towards, not something they revealed to be on the imminent horizon. idk, it just feels out of nowhere. no, they don't owe us all of the info about their company. but something had to be better than this.
final thought - it's okay and valid to be upset at the team for this. for a lot of people, it's a complete betrayal (especially the comment that $6 a month is something "anyone and everyone can afford", i mean yikes). i do think some people's anger got the best of them, and some of the comments i've seen across youtube, twitter, and tumblr are plain bullying, racism, and harassment. until we have the whole story, we can't decide that one founder (aka steven in a lot of people's minds) is solely responsible. i know a lot of these awful things are only coming from a small minority of the fandom, but they still get seen.
at the end of the day, all three of them got up in front of a camera and made this video, together. that can only lead us to the conclusion that they made this decision together. acting like these men in their 30s couldn't stand up against it if they truly wanted to, is so strange and parasocial lmao.
tl;dr there were much better ways of going about this announcement, if it even needed to be made at all. however, that doesn't excuse the hateful shit being spewed at the team. for now, all we know is the three founders decided they were done with youtube, and done with their loyal youtube audience.
(i have so many more thoughts on this but i need to stop lmao. however i do wonder how different things could have been if 1. they had hired someone with actual business experience as their CEO from the jump, and 2. this video was more of a "hey we're broke! this is a last-ditch effort to save our company!". guess those questions will remain ... well ... you know ...).

Anuradha: Love as Divine Devotion (ft. FKA Twigs)
(This was originally intended as a birth time speculation post but it evolved to be an Anuradha exploration in general so I’ve retitled it)
Since it’s up for debate with her C rated birthtime, imo FKA Twigs is an Anuradha, or atleast a Scorpio, ascendant.
The first thing that strikes me about her appearance are her rounded full face and her athleticism. She has incorporated pole dancing and martial arts into her performances before so she’s quite strong if it wasn’t evident from her build. I can’t imagine her not having her Jyestha moon and Anuradha mars in the first house
I’ve seen various people speculate mula asc and I totally see it but for the reasons I just mentioned she just has to be a scorpio rising for me..
The reason I think Anuradha specifically is moreso based on vibes. She has an ethereal otherworldly quality to her which has been attributed to Saturn nakshatras in some texts, since as far as I’m concerned it’s not coming from nodal influence. From watching interviews she seems to have a certain dryness to her, partially coming from her slow paced and smooth way of speaking. I wouldn’t go as far as to call it awkwardness in her case but Saturn nakshatras tend to be a bit stiff in how they articulate themselves. You can read a more indepth exploration of this quality here by invenusworld
youtube
Her album MAGDALENE is very Anuradha to me. Very devotional in a way both deeply religious and romantic. In her song Mary Magdalene, she personifies herself as this nourishing divine presence;
“Yes, I heard you needed me, Yes, I’m here to open you”
“I can take you higher, I do it like Mary Magdalene, I’m what you desire”
Twigs writes; “Let’s just imagine for one second: Say Jesus and Mary Magdalene are really close, they’re together all the time. She’s his right hand woman, she’s his confidante, she’s healing people with him and a mystic in her own right …. It’s easier to call her a whore, because as soon as you call a woman a whore, it devalues her. I see her as Jesus Christ’s equal.”
This idea of Mary Magdalene and Christ being devoted lovers on equal standing is somewhat reminiscent of Radha, Hindu Goddess of love and devotion linked to Anuradha nakshatra. Her relationship with Krishna is famous for being one of pure divine companionship and love.
Krishna is one of the Trimurti, a potential parallel to how Christ is part of the Holy Trinity. Their high status within their respective religions making them fulfil the Jyestha/Indra “Chief of the Gods” archetype in this specific context as Anuradha’s yoni consort.
Mythological details may vary, but one story is is that Radha was cursed for 100 years to be separated from Krishna and ultimately could not marry him, as was Mary Magdalene separated and not able to marry Christ when he was crucified and then ascended to Heaven.
Both of these religious examples are allegories for human/earthly vs divine love and the simultaneous transcendence and inevitable separation between them.
(There’s also a doomed yuri where an anuradha moon character fully devotes herself to a character that has to inevitably ascend to godhood and leave her behind… far too niche to mention in this post though)
A theme that is more closely linked to FKA Twigs’ use of this story, is the idea that despite being Christ’s hypothetical equal, Mary Magdalene is diminished as a whore and in no means held to with the same level of respect. This can be tied to Anuradha’s positioning between Vishaka and Jyestha, both nakshatras associated with high status due to Indra’s rulership. Anuradha in theory should have similar qualities of extreme greatness too, as it’s placed between them, but it has its glory humbled by Saturn despite this. Instead of prioritising personal status (emphasised in the Jyestha phase) Anuradha finds itself nourishing others as a divine act, much like its Saturnian predecessor Pushya.
Anyways back to FKA Twigs:
She is also very Jyestha but it’s her moon and in the 1st house so it’ll come out pretty strong anyway. But then again the reverse could be argued with her Anuradha mars. Therefore I’m not going to compare appearances since both nakshatras will be prominent + I am very open to being wrong
My final note on her though is that she is an uttaraphalguni virgo ketu, which @vennavenus (sorry for the tag) has extensively covered as being connected to the archetype of divine femininity as nourishing and prosperous, again a primary idea explored in Twigs’ album.

What Are You Birthing This Season? 🐇🌱⛅️🌷
Pick a Fabergé Egg 🪺

🥚 One
note - i used the ios dictation feature to feel more personally connected to your energies so the text is actually my spoken words translated into my phone, i made some minor grammatical edits so bear that in mind hehe
What are you birthing?
OK hello hello testing OK testing testing? I’m getting the image of a microphone 🎤 music notes. could be a musician. The word “hints” came to mind, somebody who’s into mystery-detective novels. The page of wands came out — energy of discovering a new passion so right off the bat, something that you are birthing… this season is a more curious and discovery oriented approach to life where you are seeking out new things where you can get new joys. It is also ace of cups energy finding something new that you are grateful for and enjoy the endeavor of stepping into it and this can play out in so many ways new enjoyable relationship, relationships, new conversations to have with people talking about topics that are refreshing to hear and to converse about rather than focusing on the past and old topics (old shadowy topics). It’s stepping into YOUR energy. We also have two of wands so there’s a lot here about adventuring and exploring. so let’s see what you were actually birthing with this energy of getting out there to make new findings. What are your birthing? you are getting recognized for something (more likely than not, it is a creative endeavor) At the beginning we did have those musical notes that I channeled you’re getting recognized for some sort of creative endeavor or an activity that you do that requires a lot of going with your instinct going with what your heart is saying, kind of the decorative design of your mind rather than the analytical. rather than the structured and methodical. you could be very highly celebrated for this so let’s find out what it is. It is definitely something newer to you so for example, with the microphone, it would be let’s say you’ve recently started learning how to sing then you will be soon recognized for your natural abilities and your approach to singing and even though it is new to you and you’re still learning about it growing curious about it trying to figure it out, people already see you as really talented in this aspect the way you are birthing the scale is simply by curiosity and it is related to you getting out there in the world. it could get you to many interesting places not just physical, but also mental so new ways of being that can really bring out your true self is what I’m getting. so overall, you are birthing great recognition, and a more expanded way of being where you are less restricted and less calculated. You literally have four fire cards, and then the world which I think just really represents the energy that you are going to be thriving in!
Why is it important for you?
OK, so why is this energy important for you? I am using angel cards and we got “Employment Change - your career path is leading you in a higher direction with positive changes to support your dreams priorities passions in life purpose.” this is kind of a super clear message, but this birth is important because it is going to serve a very specific and heightened purpose in your life when it comes to how you earn income when it comes to how you feel aligned and together and like you’ve got your life purpose in check. 10th house qualities so your 10th house placement could be significant at the time of this birth!
How to get closer to this “birth”?
As for how to attain it, how to tap into this energy. how can group one tap into this exploring energy? “Bountiful Nature - spending time in nature helps shift you to a higher vibration and reminds you of God‘s infinite abundance.” this is very self-explanatory the way you will attain this energy is by spending more time outside getting some air, touching some grass being around trees around flowers going to gardens even if it’s just sitting out in a patio, a backyard, front porch if you’re a musician — using nature as your muse, if you are a writer using nature as your muse. taking inspiration from nature and creating something out of it, painting an artwork about flowers, drawing and doodling flowers, writing a poem about animals anything related to nature tap into that even looking up facts about nature anything anything! that is how you will tap into this inspired and “willing to explore energy” that will grant you this creative power that is being birthed by you🌻🌱.
🥚 Two
note - i used the ios dictation feature to feel more personally connected to your energies so the text is actually my spoken words translated into my phone, i made some minor grammatical edits so bear that in mind hehe
What are you birthing?
hello hello 222 what are you birthing? Also welcome you are birthing. It seems the star energy as well as six of cups energy oh and another card wanted to come out (10 of swords) OK when it comes to matters of healing, you stand out to people. you inspire other people to begin to leave things in the past. leave the bad in the past. you have a very generous caring star energy that makes people want to look at you. Look forward to seeing you and also looking forward to see what they can learn from you and take from you. This isn’t the kind of take where it affects you negatively, but it’s the kind of taking from you where a person is willing to listen to you except you, as you are and embrace themselves as a result of who you are which is very inspiring, kind role model energy so I am getting that you are birthing connections where you feel okay and you actually feel stronger and more empowered by giving to others something that actually benefits them and benefits you. it is harmonious energy so you are birthing those kinds of life connections. Let’s see what else you are birthing, OK it seems you are definitely birthing connection and birthing the ability to show up. This means showing up for yourself, showing up for others, showing up for matters of the heart, things that light you up. you are able to showcase those things or make them prominent and stand out in your life, so let’s say you have a passion for a certain musical group or a passion for making clothes. This would be a season of your life where you are promoting your passion for this thing, whether it be by posting all your thoughts and insights on fashion on a blog or talking very much about an artist you really love. This is just being open to the world and really demonstrating those things that make you you to the rest of the world and deriving connections to other people through just that. Ace of pentacles and I hear “this will make you coin” !!
(cards were the star, six of cups, ten of swords, & the sun)
Why is it important for you?
it is important for you because it will raise your energy levels. Also raise magnetism levels. There’s actually imagery in this card with two white doves. There’s a planet earth in the palm of the angel’s hands. The angel is carrying a basket of flowers and there’s a black and white bunny below her, she is surrounded by pretty flowers in the garden type scenery so this birth will grant you more energy more vitality more ability to notice the beauty around you because of the meaning that is placed behind the things you are sharing with the world. You’ll look forward to giving and sharing, therefore life will look forward to giving back to you. This is for sure increasing manifestation abilities because you are putting things out there in the world and things that match what you’re putting out there will return back to you in a very meaningful and joyful way.
How to get closer to this “birth”?
I was given a one liner for you: “Consistently working on your priorities will make them flourish like a lush flower garden.”

note - i used the ios dictation feature to feel more personally connected to your energies so the text is actually my spoken words translated into my phone, i made some minor grammatical edits so bear that in mind hehe
What are you birthing?
Group 3 I am excited to see what you are birthing so let’s get into it. What is group 3birthing? OK that was fast nine of swords in reverse, wheel of Fortune. You are birthing a surprising outcome in your life. Something unexpected — most likely linked to a thing you overthink a lot something that causes you a lot of anxiety. There is an unexpected factor here that is going to come in and swing this situation in a different direction. Stork imagery, and this could be related to your household. I just saw the 10 of pentacles. family… themes of the home. The surprising factor here - night of swords, new communication coming in receiving some piece of information that was not present before. hearing about a person that you were not expecting to hear about. hearing a story or an update on a situation that you were not expecting to receive at all. this seems completely out of left field. it seems like an answer to something where you were close-minded. this is definitely about getting clarity over something where you felt very unlucky very unclear where you were lacking answers and it seems to be related to how you viewed the world. It seems like an unhealthy mindset thing was going on and there’s a surprising turn of events where you are getting a calmer view so it seems that what you are birthing is moving forward in a new way that is more beneficial to you, leaving baggage behind six of swords, you’re entering an improved way of living.
Why is it important for you?
I’m pulling an angel card. your card is “Let Go Of Guilt - when you allow your light to shine brightly you inspire others forgive yourself for what you think you’ve done or not done and trust that God loves you unconditionally for who you are learn and grow from past mistakes instead of beating yourself for them.”
this will be very personally linked to you depending on who is reading this as this is a general reading so for each person that reads this, they will know what it resonates with in their case but I could not have said it better than the card myself, and I believe that spirit is calling in this advanced way of being where you can start to understand things better. it feels like going from being a pessimist to becoming an optimist. That is the energy and it seems to be important for you so you can grow and forgive, leading a kinder tomorrow.
How to get close to this “birth”?
Getting another angel card. how can my group number three get close to this birth? Your card is “Quiet Retreat - It’s time to disconnect from the outer world so that you can discern and process your true thoughts and feelings from your inner world, create this quiet time for yourself and you’ll have more clarity about what to do next.” this is for sure advising you to reflect more on what you are feeling rather than losing yourself in expectations from the outside or all the meaningless directions coming in from everywhere BUT you. the focus here should be your thoughts your feelings, your plans, your goals your wishes highlight YOUR, so intentionally set time to figure yourself out. Listen to yourself!
Thank you so much dear group number three for all the hard work you do and the light you shed upon this world. May your journey proceed calmly like the waters, I send you so much love!
have a wonderful rest of your day or night🌼
