Pick An Image: Message From Your Inner Child
Tumblr media
Pick whichever image you feel called to, the one you can’t stop looking at. 
Group 1: Swan
Cards pulled: Queen & King of Pentacles, 7 of Cups, 7 of Swords, 2 of Pentacles reversed, 4 of Wands, The Hanged Man. 
Your Inner Child is often indulged. Perhaps too often. You have all the material things you desire, but your inner world feels lacking. You have forgotten the mystique and intrigue of life, and the wonder that accompanies living in this vast, beautiful world.  Your Inner Child is most proud of you for protecting yourself. You aren’t afraid to stand up for yourself and speaking out against those who have wronged you (especially your parents). You have a self assuredness that protects your inner child and makes them feel secure. 
Your lack of balance is what confuses your inner child most. Again, the suit of pentacles pops up here. You are so focused on the material aspects of living in this world (having the best clothes, food, appearance, etc.) and it’s not aligning with who your truest self. It’s not wrong to want nice things or to have material desires, but your inner child craves something more in the spiritual sense. Find a way to play again. Find a way to celebrate and enjoy the act of living. Spend time with guided meditations, specifically for connecting with your inner child. You’ve dwelt in the outer world long enough; it’s time to look within. 
Group 2: Fox
The Sun, Knight of Swords, Queen of Cups, Knight of Cups, The Devil, 4 of Cups. 
Your inner child is brilliant! What a lovely and happy little one, who seems to have everything and feels totally fulfilled. They crave activity and action. The more active you are, the happier your Inner Child is. 
Your Inner Child is so proud of your beauty, your grace, and your ability to handle strong emotions. They also appreciate your home and the scenery you surround yourself with. 
The way you speak confuses your Inner Child. Perhaps sometimes your words are too harsh or untrue to your alignment. They wish you would think about the words you use and are sometimes hurt by your language. 
To become more aligned with your Inner Child, you need to let go of your addiction(s)/negative coping habits you’ve picked up (alcohol seems to be something you may indulge in too frequently for your Inner Child’s liking). You don’t need this addiction to be social or happy. In fact it is what is keeping you from reaching true happiness and fulfilling your potential. Say no to that inner voice that says “Just this once, it’s okay”. 
Group 3: Deer
Your Inner Child feels blocked, Group 3. They feel trapped and unable to reach you. You’ve become serious and hardworking, but lack the free flowing social connections your child-self thrived on. You have been through so much pain and hardship--sometimes you felt like you couldn’t go on, yet somehow kept pushing through. Your Inner Child is immensely proud of you for being able to survive everything that’s happened. Your survival is the source of their joy and pride. There was so much suffering and sorrow, but you made it. Your strength and ability to carry on is awe-inspiring. 
Your Inner Child is most confused by your generosity. Perhaps you did not have much as a child and the fact that you are able to give your time, energy, and spirit to others in need feels really confusing. It’s not a negative confusion, but a general feeling of “How am I able to do this when I was not taught this as a child? When I was never given these things?”
How you can connect with your Inner Child: focus on becoming more social. Make friends and put yourself out there! Do things that excite you or frighten you...your Inner Child craves an adrenaline rush every once in a while. That scary-fun feeling of butterflies in the pit of your stomach while riding a roller coaster. Spark the excitement back into your life :) . 
Group 4: Owl
Your Inner Child has A LOT to say. There were SO MANY jumper cards! 
Queen of Wands, 9 of Cups, 6 of Wands, Page of Swords, 10 of Swords, Page of Pentacles, 9 of Wands, 7 of Pentacles Reversed, The World. 
Your Inner Child is creative, artistic, and loves being surrounded by beauty. There’s a lot of feminine energy here, a gentle self expression and pride in making things around them “better” in some way. 
Your Inner Child feels pretty content, but something about your current living situation is the last piece of the puzzle that needs to be changed before they are fully comfortable. Your Inner Child is ready to move on, but you are forcing yourself to sit it out, thinking that everything is “good enough”. Your Inner Child wonders where your sense of independence and exploration have gone. 
What your Inner Child is most proud of is the fact that you are a *badass*. Your Inner Child is blown away by how cool and strong you are. They look at current you as the kind of adult they always wanted to be and feel excited. 
The thing about your life that currently confuses your Inner Child the most is the people you surround yourself with. They are vindictive, unsupportive, and toxic. Your Inner Child cannot comprehend why you think these people deserve to be in your life when all they do is drain your energy and cause conflict. 
To align with your Inner Child, you need to stop being afraid of leaving these people behind. Make a new life for yourself, and find positive people who match your vibration. There is a whole world of people out there who would love to meet you and truly bring love/high vibrational energy into your life. 
Advice from your Inner Child: Just because you have had relationship(s) for a long time doesn’t mean you need to keep putting more energy into them. They haven’t paid off for you and waiting around for these people to change is a waste of time. Your energy is meant to be out in the world, exploring, making new connections, finding new places to go and things to do. Rediscover your wonder, your desire to explore and meet challenges. The World is waiting.

Stasis, a time in limbo, sacrifice, and surrender, as well as finding a new perspective, are the important themes of this day. Beneath is an energy of wise observation and of intellect that can cut to the heart of the matter, so do be tactful on how you word your thoughts. The advice for you today is to cooperate, work with others towards a goal, as well as be diligent in such tasks. Be cooperative and diligent.

Tarot Cards as Writing Prompts
This is an idea I’ve been playing with for awhile, and maybe some of you are already doing it. The examples I’m using are from the standard Rider-Waite deck, but I’ve also been looking at favorite images from other decks, like the Robin Wood Tarot or the Dark Wood Tarot. If you don’t pay attention to the meanings, the images are fascinating for other reasons – with a little imagination, they can be used as writing prompts.
Tumblr media
As an example, look at the Five of Cups: a cloaked man stares down at three overturned goblets on the road. Two more goblets stand behind him. Is he sad, or angry? Do those cups belong to him, or someone else? Did he spill the three overturned ones, or did someone else? Did the cups contain something dangerous or magical?
Tumblr media
Look at the Six of Swords. The swords stand upright in a boat, which is being pushed by a man with a pole. A cloaked figure and a child sit in the boat. Where are they going? Are the figures a mother and child, or just two random passengers? Are they traveling somewhere, or escaping from somewhere? Do the swords belong to them?
Tumblr media
As a last example, look at #16, The Tower. What is this structure? Is it part of a castle, a prison, or something else? Is the lightning strike part of a storm, or is it a magical attack? Who are the falling people – were they imprisoned in the tower, or did they live there?
If you’re dealing with writer’s block, or a lack of ideas, you can try this with other cards. Put aside the standard divinatory meaning of the card, and just study the image; does it suggest a story, or several stories? You could try keeping a journal with notes about what story ideas the cards give you. Try it with the same card from different decks for more inspiration. Have fun with it!

Tarot of the Owls is now available everywhere decks are sold! It was written by Pamela Chen and illustrated by me, published by Llewellyn Worldwide. I also have signed copies in my shop (link in bio). Over two years in the making, and we are thrilled it’s finally out! People seem to be really connecting with these fun owls too, which makes me happy. The cards above are the Moon and High Priestess.

Welcome to Ace of Cups Tarot!
I’m Sandy Settle. I’m a writer and a Tarot reader. I’ve been reading cards for 10+ years, a practicing Pagan for longer. I use many Bohemian-style decks (based on the Rider-Waite-Smith deck) and oracle decks. Full list of decks I use is available upon request after you pay for a reading.
I reserve the right to deny a reading at any time for any reason. I block as I see fit. After the reading is sent, there are no refunds.
A three-card reading (Past, Present, Future) is a $30 flat fee. I transact via Venmo @sandymsettle. Money must be sent before the reading is done (labeled as a “donation”). I will process the funds after the reading is sent via messages. Beyond a basic three-card, I read intuitively, so I do not follow a pre-set “spread”/organization. All readings above three cards start at $40.
I do not do live/video readings of any kind at this point. I simply don’t have time. All readings will generally be sent to you via Ask/messaging on Tumblr or, if you prefer, via Fiverr. 
Please be warned that a Tarot reading can be an extremely personal and sometimes emotionally challenging experience. It’s important to try to ground yourself before a reading and make sure you are open to whatever Source wants to tell you. Practice measured breathing, meditate, drink liquids, and calm your mind. I am merely a conduit for whatever that information is, I do not decide what the cards say. I am a messenger. I am not personally responsible for any emotional distress the reading may cause.
Blessed be. I’m here to help you on your path forward!

The Knight of Swords
Tumblr media
Swords stand for the intellect, logic, clarity, and truth. The Knight of Swords charges towards his aims with a singular focus. This knight bears similarities to the Knight of Wands- they are both bursting with energy and ambition. What sets them apart is the focus. The energy in the Knight of Wands is not directed at anything in particular; the Knight of Swords maintains a narrow focus on his goals. This knight wakes up at four in the morning to hit the gym, day trades on the side, and is definitely investing in crypto. He is optimizing his eating with a fad diet you haven’t yet heard of, and can tell you exactly how many grams of protein he’s had today. 
This focus and drive can be an incredible strength - sometimes it’s nothing less than what is needed to make your dreams a reality. But too much focus on the end goal can lead to tunnel vision, and missing other possibilities, factors, or important priorities in life. The Knight of Swords sometimes needs to be dragged out of the house to see his friends, or requires the occasional reminder to not be a dick. He may even realize, after much struggle, that he doesn’t actually want that thing he was pursuing so endlessly. Burnout is another potential issue. This sort of singular focus may not be sustainable in the long run. 
With wits, ambition, and a clear vision for the future, this knight may seem like a catch – but whether he can step away from the hustle long enough to maintain a relationship is a different story. 
All that being said, the Knight of Swords can be a powerful driving force to give you the burst of resolve you need to obtain your goals. 
Reversed 
The Knight of Swords reversed may be so consumed by his ambitions that he has made rash and unwise choices, or disregarded other people’s feelings. Or, this could indicate someone who has a goal in mind, but has not yet mustered the drive, discipline, and focus necessary to achieve it. Another possible meaning could be that the Knight of Swords has finally burned out after so much laser focus, or perhaps has become disillusioned with his goals. Balance is called for.

last pac/pap: what energy should you bring with you into the new year?
want a personal reading? click here to check out my reading options and prices!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
pile 1
their physicality: emo style, pale, dark hair, tired looking, vitiligo, multicolored hair, highlighted hair, heterochromia, attractive, cute, stylish, possible smoker, and/or nice voice
their personality: impulsive, spontaneous, foreign, traveler, commitment issues, wanderer, needs space/freedom, adventurer, flirty, mesmerizing, agile, easily jealous, charming, irritable, scatter-brained, high-energy, easily distracted, and/or indecisive
where you are likely to meet: outdoors, at an art gallery, decor/antique shop, flower shop, alternative medicine shop, card section of a store, when buying beauty products, somewhere you are meant to dress up, art class, at a metaphysical shop, psych office, at night, the movie theater, night club, new york, naval academy, on a boat/cruise, at the beach, yachting, and/or somewhere coastal
now maybe this person doesn't have the best track record with previous lovers. in fact, it might be a bit chaotic to you when first hear about it. maybe when you meet them they will be freshly out of a recent breakup. they might be the type of person to remains friends with exes. those exes might even be actively involved in their life. that likely stems from their fear of commitment or their fear of being alone. currently, they are still learning that letting endings happen leads to new space for "bigger and better things" and people (like you).
to them, you are like the only star on the darkest night. they will only have eyes for you because you will be their muse. they adore you. you are so incredible in their eyes. they will see you as someone who is immensely strong, faithful, and optimistic. they find you to be a breath of fresh air - when they are with you, they feel like they can dream. they see all the possibilities of what could be and what they could become to transform into someone worthy of you.
they have some great qualities but ranking highest is their urge to control the chaos in your life for you. they are protective - they don't like to see you overwhelmed or hurt by the world around you, so they willfully step in the path of chaos to protect you. when you are overwhelmed, they are the first to volunteer to take care of anything for you. especially, when it involves them, they want to stay with you at all costs, so they will do whatever it takes to appease you and make you comfortable. they also are very wary and do not believe everything at face value, which, in my opinion, is a good quality. they don't take "i'm fine" as it is; they need to know that you are seriously fine. they don't do insta-love either which is good because, in my experience, those are the connections where the relationship is quick to fizzle out. they search for honesty and truth in all things but even more so with a romantic partner. and you? you are as genuine as they come. one last quality i want to mention before moving on is their stability and reliability. when this person makes up their mind, their mind is unchangeable. when they commit there is no out - they are all in. they are someone very stabilizing, driven, and generous when they decide that you are the one for them. they will no doubt make you their partner in crime. they will want you with them to explore the world and to spoil.
i feel like there will be noticeable tension in your pre-relationship that will bring you guys together. it will make you both feel destabilized and make you wonder if you are doing the right thing. you might feel like you are being vulnerable unnecessarily and that the relationship will amount to nothing but that won't be the case. challenges are momentary and are meant to bring you back to where you are meant to be.
the connection will bring happiness and intense emotions, especially, because you are both willing to confront each other with honest feelings and fears. you are both assertive and focused on your goals to make a future together.
song: "i wanna be yours" by arctic monkeys
pile 2
their physicality: distinctive features, angular features, black/dark hair, chiseled look, strong chin, emotional, seductive, attractive, pale, curvaceous, and/or darker skin tone (olive, easily tans, etc).
their personality: talkative, articulate, dextrous, gossiper, eloquent, influential, spiritual, soulmate, deep, independent, constantly in motion, diplomatic, and/or mediator.
where you are likely to meet: via a friend, someone sets you guys up, at the doctor's office, therapist office, walking a dog, at the veterinarian's, doing charity, while out to eat, at a bar, at the bank, making a donation, a romantic place, and/or at the cardiologist
i sense that they have a good reputation when it comes to love. they are notably nurturing, reliable, sensual, and dependable in a partnership. they go into a connection wanting to build a strong and lasting relationship.
they love that you are always trying to improve yourself. in the past, you may have been codependent on other and you might have relied on others to make you feel happy, but when you meet them, your efforts to do the opposite will be noticeable to them. you won't have unrealistic expectations for them, in fact, when you communicate with them regarding your expectations in the connection, they will find them very doable and will respect you for being upfront with them.
this person has rather unique qualities that makes them an attractive partner. for one they are aware that their emotions and thoughts sometime cloud them from seeing the reality of a situation. they can acknowledge their stress without taking it out on you and those around them. they like to manage their mental health so they can lead a productive life, they aren't afraid of making changes to better accommodate their situation. it is important to them to implement healthy coping strategies such as journalling. journalling and talk therapy likely made them the eloquent individual they are when they meet you. another attractive quality is their humble natural - they aren't haughty people who believe they are better than those around them. in fact, they aren't afraid of questioning themselves and their abilities - they realize that they are not the only one with answers and abilities. they don't do anything impulsively, they think carefully about everything before they actually do anything. lastly, they aren't afraid to admit they need space to take care of themselves - they aren't the type of person who allow others into their space just so they can lash out at them. they are very caring even when they feel depleted. they look within to nourish themselves, so you never have to fear that they will drain your well to refill their own.
you both will be brought together after you both feel more stabilized (emotionally, mentally, monetarily, etc) and are willing to commit. while careful planning isn't the sexiest thing in a connection, the sense of stability you will find with one another after such a long time of waiting to find each other will be well worth it.
this was a match made in the heavens, in my opinion. it was simply meant to be - this is the most important connection of your lifetime and they are your soulmate without a doubt. you both will love and respect each other all your lives. when you lead with love, what else could you expect.
song: "helena" by my chemical romance
pile 3
their physicality: physically fit, bodybuilder, good looking, in shape, attractive, dark/black hair, and/or darker skin tone (olive, tan, etc).
their personality: depressive, unhappy, down, lower self-esteem, pessimist, sickly, talkative, dextrous, gossip, mediator, loyal, devoted, friends first, humble, persistent, trustworthy, dependable, and/or friendly.
where you are likely to meet: somewhere with illegal activity, IT, technology shop, via a plumber, jewelry shop, at an amusement park, on the road, in a courthouse, at a political rally, at a voting booth, a highway, at an art class, at a metaphysical shop, a psych office, at night, at the movie theater, at a night club, and new york.
i sense that they aren't overly experienced with relationships, mainly because they have been working on themselves. they have been looking for someone to build a strong relationship with. someone who matches their enthusiasm, passion, and/or intensity.
they love that you can wait for things they you really desire - you have very good restraint. you aren't afraid of adjusting and refocusing your plans and goals to fit where you are right now. you aren't easily frustrated by a lack of progress - slow and steady wins the race for you, and they adore that you have that level of determination, patience, and passion.
your partner will have some astounding traits that are kinds blowing to me as i read these cards. for one, i sense that this person is very healthy - they don't have any exes waiting in the winds for them and hoping they will come back. their exes know they just won't be back. when they are done, everyone knows that they are indeed done. change is natural and normal to them - they have no problems letting go of things and people that don't help them grow or serve them in the long run. they like things and people that have purpose and are driven. they will do whatever it takes to go into this next chapter in life with you. this person tends to focus on the past however. sometimes it is difficult for them to see the possibilities of what could be as they fear that only bad things surround them and their circumstances. but they do not wait for the world around them to change; they begin the change within. they go through it - they have been through it. they know pain and struggle which has taught them how to be gentle, caring, and how to be content. they know how to find peace and how to be grateful for what they have gained. all of this is to your benefit.
prosperity and generosity are what bring you together. that and, of course, maturity - maybe this is someone you knew earlier and life, and now you are getting a second chance with them. by being forward and clear about your intentions this connection will continue to blossom and grow.
i feel like you will be better off and happier when you keep the relationship private - there are people on both side of your relationship that are gossips and manipulation.

3 of cups
Spend time with family and casual people.
It's GW, so have a lot of fun.
よくシャッフルして、よくカットしても短期間で同じカードが出てくる現象があるけれど、偶然だと思っています。 そうはいっても、幸せそうな絵柄だとなんだかちょっとだけ嬉しいものです。
シャッフルやカット、いつまでたっても上手くならない。 ポロポロこぼすし、バラバラになるし。 私の手が小さいせいだと思うことにしています。 トランプカードならまあまあ、上手くシャッフルできるのです。 サイズの小さいタロットデッキも持っているけれど、絵柄をよく観察したいからレギュラーサイズの方を使っています。 デッキによっては巨大なものあるけれど、ああいうものは観賞用なのかしら。それとも、エンターテイナー向けにいいかもしれない。 巨大なカードは迫力があって面白いとは思う。

Where Is Your Path Currently Taking You?
Pick An Image
Tumblr media
Image 1
Image 1 you have been fighting hard for a long time now. You have been resilient against many odds that were stacked against you. You have made decisions based on logic instead of your heart. An ending of a tough cycle is fast approaching. It is time to start considering to let your guard down again. You have been fighting for so long that you forgot how it feels to be vulnerable with someone. You have been so used to being a lone wolf guarding yourself from everyone. You are being guided to reevaluate who you are, who you are allowing into your life, and who are just not aligned with your new path. You have outgrown a lot of friendships and you lost interest in rekindling relationships that are low vibrational. You are entering a new era but remember not everyone is against you.
Tumblr media
Image 2
Image 2 expect to meet someone that reminds you of your childhood. This person can be from your home town and know all of the go to spots to hang out or musical artists from the past. This person has a lot in common with you which will keep you interested. This new person will be fiery, outspoken, and sometimes says the craziest things at the worst moments. Everything will be perfect about this person except for one big secret. This will change your opinion of this person but a part of you wants to still be part of their life. Expect to meet someone who is your wish fulfillment but comes with baggage.
Tumblr media
Image 3
Image 3 there is a decision that you made recently that has some long term effects. You are wondering about making the wrong move so you have made an abrupt stop. You worry about a lot of things so you are not living to the fullest. You are very calculated and overthink. It is okay to make a mistake. We often learn more from our errors than when we succeed. You want to manifest something that you are so passionate about. You are willing to make sacrifices just to make sure you will make it. You might have stopped doing things you enjoyed or hanging out with certain people to stay focused. Be mindful of people you disclose your next moves, success, or concerns. Misery loves company and it is often infectious. Move in silence.
Tumblr media
Image 4
Image 4 you are walking down a path that is leading you to abundance and wish fulfillment. There will be new opportunities that will be coming your way. All of your hard work will pay off whether it is a business idea, your social media, or a raise at your job. You are entering a season of growth. Something that you have been nurturing and consistently looking after will grow rapidly and suddenly. You will have people wanting to be around you because of you positive energy and luck. This is your lucky season!
Which image resonates?
