Hello,

I don’t need interpreting, though if you’d like I wouldn’t be opposed. I just wanted to share a really great spread I tried for “funsies” about who I was in a past life and got more than I bargained for! I’ll be telling it like a story. I’ll be referring to my last self as “she” for simplicity.

So in this past life, she was a well travelled and wealthy person, and was very abundant with the things she had, possibly owning or living on large plots of land. Specifically when I pulled the wand card, I got she was focused on business/career a lot in her life (2 of Wands, Queen of Pentacles).

For her relationship with her family, that she was the “golden child”, was seen as the light of the family, and that she was expected to live out their expectations and sacrifice her wants and wishes for what was “best,” for her and her family. They kept a close eye on her and she couldn’t get away with much (the nakedness of the star) (Star and Hanged Man).

Despite this, she could be quite rebellious when she wanted. She enjoyed sneaking out, especially for walks at night, often to reflect and think. I also got the feeling she loved to debate and argue especially about things she thought were unjust and that she was very intelligent. She very much enjoyed proving those wrong who underestimated her, especially since many people saw her as sheltered/naive. I also got the feeling she liked to gamble, and take risks for a small thrill. (5 of swords, 8 of cups).

Her social life was complicated and messy.

Men were always vying for her attention and hand in romance, but she was generally unimpressed or uninterested by their attempts. She preferred to be alone and could see they only wanted her for her status or money. There may have been “the one who got away,” or she may have been in an arranged marriage, considering the past cards. Now that I think about it, this could also point to the swords card from before, she had a secret fun fling or romance that ultimately she disregarded (Four of Cups, Hermit).

Men viewed her as a complete package and someone who would help them further their goals, but that she saw right through them and was very cold and intimidating. She had the money and connections but again was not easily impressed by the men who surrounded her. Other men did not believe they stood a chance with her and those who thought they didn’t have enough to bring didn’t even try. (king of pentacles and 9 of wands).

Women often viewed her as competition, and yet saw her as someone they wanted to embody. They saw she had the attention from men, traveling the world and money, and often my past self was the subject to lots of gossip and rumors, possibly even physical conflict from other women. I got the feeling that she had very few relationships with other women due to unease and fear. (Five of wands and world).

She became very guarded and focused on her wealth and monetary stability.

Her biggest regret was losing connections with others, I think women. There was a group of women here that she cut off or lost contact due to her business or new self. Possibly close female friends or female relatives. She regretted this deeply and once she achieved what she wanted, realized she was alone (Three of Cups, Death).

Her advice to me was to stop burdening myself with others expectations or desires. She held up expectations from others until the end and realized it wasn’t worth it in the end for what she lost. That I’ve been carrying the weight of others problems and I need to drop them and connect with others, find my tribe and find love that was worth it all. She tells me that yes, the Queen in the castle lives abundantly but is alone, but the knight lives on the road with his heart ready to give and receive. (10 of wands, knight of cups). This ties to her regret.

I asked what my purpose was in this lifetime. From what I understood, she had chosen to live her life alone and away from the eyes of others for various reasons. In this lifetime I am meant to be celebrated and be open and proud about who I am. The ones who support and love me will show themselves in due time. I am meant to overcome anxiety that comes with stepping out of what’s expected of me or what my future holds. She is telling me that it’s okay to take risks and to do the things that others may say is wrong or nonsensical (also ties to my last question). In this lifetime I am meant to give my heart and learn to undue my past distrust with care. (6 of wands, 9 of swords).

\\\*\\\*\\\*

I felt like I was talking to an old friend or sister, and we were sharing gossip and life stories over tea. It was such a welcoming presence! I know it is “me,” but I can’t help but admire her for being so blunt about her advice. I even caught myself giggling at some parts and laughing at the stories I “saw” in my head, especially when it came to some of the way she would reject men, which was unheard of in her time. She reminded me a lot of episode 1 Twilight Sparkle from MLP:FIM.

I wrote an entire essay about how much I related to her in many regards and how we even share similar interests and experiences (esp regarding advances from men with not so pure intentions, and female bullying and friendships). The walks at night was so spot on it was creepy. I deleted it cause it was too long but of course she is me, so we relate but it was still a mind f\\\*ck!

For those who believe in astrology, this surprised me because it tied to my south and north nodes. My south node is Capricorn and my north node is Cancer. Make of that what you you will but again, so creepy yet fascinating at the same time haha!!

I would encourage others to do a reading on your past life if you believe in that. I just found it very enlightening. I hope I can make my past self proud in this lifetime.

Okay sorry if this is gonna come off as naive.

Remember in elementary school (at least for us Gen Z’s) we had the pillars of character, with all the animals symbolizing the traits that make you a good person? I think it was a US thing. And the golden rule above them all was “treat others the way you want to be treated.”

As I grew older I realize I must’ve been the only one to take this to heart. I’m not claiming I’m perfect, though I operate on a belief system where before I do something, I try to think of how it will affect those around me. I care highly about if what I’m doing is inconveniencing others or causes harm to others and disregarding it makes me very depressed and guilty.

I talked to an acquaintance who cheated on his pregnant girlfriend with her friend. He did not seem very guilty about it all. I asked him “would you be angry if she cheated on you with (his friend)?” And he said he would be furious and dump her. I asked “so if she found out, you’d want her to dump you?” And he said “of course not.”

The logic was so baffling. And common unfortunately! I wish I had a way to contact her, but I couldn’t find one.

Another example is my boyfriend. We’ve been having a lot of issues lately and frankly, I don’t think we will last much longer at the rate we are going. He recently told me I said something very hurtful to him eight months ago. I couldn’t remember what it was obviously and when he told me I still didn’t remember. I could’ve, but he never told me it was hurtful, so I guess I forgot. It was a comment about a program at my school hiring in his field, but I guess it was an insult to his ability to find a job. I asked why didn’t he say something then, he claimed “I didn’t want to sour the mood.” I said now he soured the mood eight months later. I asked him what he would think if I did the same to him and he said he would be angry with me because we were supposed to be comfortable sharing things with each other.

Lastly with my best friend. She is chronically late to things. I texted her I was coming (we had scheduled this so it wasn’t a surprise) and I would arrive in twenty minutes. She said Ok and when I arrived nobody answered. I called and nobody picked up. Half an hour later she called me saying she just got out of the shower. I asked why wasn’t she already ready when I came. She said it wasn’t that big of a deal because we didn’t have concrete plans for the day. I asked her “what about if I did the same to you?” And she said she would be angry because I wasted her time. I scolded her a bit and left to do my own thing. She apologized later.

I almost hate having to deal with other people. My entire life feels like just trying to shield myself or recover from the disgusting actions of others which has left me feeling jaded and cold towards other people. The world would be a much better place if we considered how our actions would affect others on a deeper level.
