My Leo ascendant is at 23°, so pulled for 1st house. Eight of Pentacles: You've grown more comfortable in your own skin by dedicating yourself to personal growth and consistently working on refining who you are.
Ten of Pentacles: It’s still hard for you to be seen authentically because of the pressure to conform to traditional family or societal expectations.
I have a 12th Leo Venus, an intercepted sun in 1st, and a Scorpio moon, so putting myself “out there” is utter hell. I quit my acting/creative career because even though I loved it, I hated being seen and people knowing my business 🙃
Brilliantly written as always, had to forward your email onto several people. “Stop giving access away for free” was a mic drop, amongst many mic drop points!
Thank you so much for opening up here! I totally understand the 12th house resistance to being seen… It is essential as creatives with 12th house placements that we decide what to keep sacred for ourselves, behind closed doors. I wonder if this full moon could re-awaken pathways to creativity so that it doesn’t have to feel all or nothing.
For that first card pull, I would also interpret that as you getting more comfortable in your own power, finding inner strength, and resourcefulness.
With the resistance card being 10 of pentacles, this card is often associated with reaping the rewards of the work you love. That could be another permission slip to figure out *how to integrate all of those previous outlets you gave up on, back into your identity* in a sustainable way.
Do you have a regular deck of playing cards nearby? one of my favorite fun facts is that you can substitute them for tarot, there are tutorials on YouTube!
One of many interpretations of this combination, could be that you’ve grown more comfortable letting yourself be seen trying new things, having an open mind, and learning something new. The second card could be a permission slip to take a wrecking ball to any aspects of your identity that are gravely outdated, but that you still hold onto for some reason.
My two cards JUMPED out of the deck, and landed face up - first showing 7 of pentacles and then Star, reversed. Given that I have long fought the education field, for many a good reason - I am quite, at peace, as an educator, especially with my 'title one' kiddos. I've landed where I belong. But, to get there, it was an insane credit card investment.
As I have been navigating living alone - a year ago I lived in an apartment with black mold and I was sick, all the time. I spent the last 15 months in a 'luxury' apartment I can't afford, so I'm looking for my - in-between? and my ways to afford something closer to this, versus the black mold. LOL
I have a hard time being consistently creative if I have too much free time - spending the days at school makes me prioritize my keyboard in the mornings or late at night. I've also spent the last year 'dating' her, but because of the 'luxury' rent, I have not saved money in those regards.
Education wise, my school adores me. It feels like a sinking ship somedays, but admin has my back. They are proud of my SEL abilities with my kiddos, which - quite frankly, they are absolutely correct. I am fantastic at that. So, I've asked that they send me to be (a trainer / lead person ) for it at our school. I've been working on a masters, but that is truly to just to fund rent. So, I suppose my finances have been pure, terrible choices for survival? LOL. :)
I've been harsh on myself about my piano skills, and I recently said it was time to stop that ish, cause it just isn't true. Same with teaching - I get more annoyed because of the test scores but my school keeps verbalizing the happiness with the community I have created with second grade.

And thanks for being on the team reminding me of my worth Ocean! you always speak to my soul!

8th house, I wish I had my tarot deck at hand. I'm moving house and it's stored away in a box somewhere...

......one must know.....where did those amazing boots come from?
I, too, would like to know! Alas, these are stock images 😆🫶
Welp. 1st House and I pulled the Page of Swords reversed for question 1 and The Tower for question 2.... bring it on, I suppose ✨
