Favorite Piece of Advice

When it comes to intuition, the trick is believing you were “right” the first time. Intuition is about refining our capturing of the first impulse, which is different for everyone. Note bodily sensations, imagery in your mind’s eye, or visual cues that are consistent with impactful experiences in your life. It’s a great place to find your “signs”!

What are some times your intuition told you something?
To be honest, I have a hard time thinking of the last time I didn’t use my conscious intuition to make a decision. It’s not that intuition is this special, extrasensory ability so much as it is the experience of relying on our sensory feedback in order to make a decision.

Your intuition is your unconscious awareness communicating with your conscious body. It can occur as feelings of fear or anxiety (more likely to be felt in the gut) or as lightness and joy (generally higher in the body, from the solar plexus up). There is a lot of information in somatic mapping, which is the process of dictating what feelings mean to an individual. Eastern medicinal practices tend to utilize this information more heavily than Western medicine, but the two can actually partner to increase understanding.

Someone starting to feel for their intuition should start by paying attention to the ways their body becomes slightly dysregulated around people, places, and activities. Discomfort is not always a sign to avoid an experience; by navigating events with a conscious awareness of how your body is feeling, you can use that to anticipate and prepare for things in a more holistic way.
What are the stereotypes about Pisces? Are they true for you?
Pisces can be flirty, flighty, and a little…distracted. The internal world of a Pisces is rooted in imagination, so the version of reality they’re experiencing tends to be more fanciful. This can lead to a perception of impermanence; those with less patience may go so far as to say “flaky”.

In reality, I find Pisces to be highly emotionally driven: if they can’t feel it, it ain’t real! Speaking their language means knowing the nuance of their emotional process.
Female Capricorn and Male Scorpio
Capricorn and Scorpio are quite a pairing as far as intensity, but it could present as two people who are far too "nonchalant" about the connection. In reality, they are falling apart inside with devotion! The term "toxic" comes to mind pretty quickly. This isn't to say it's an impossible mix, but the Scorpio's cool exterior can activate the Capricorn's aloofness around emotional vulnerability. Ironically, that very experience will drive their inner worlds crazy if they are truly into each other.

Scorpio is known for intense obsessiveness; if that icy wall ever melts, the flash flood may overwhelm the Capricorn. It could come across as a desire to possess or control. By contrast, the Capricorn's rhythms of cool detachment and fierce loyalty may confuse the HELL out of a Scorpio, who tend to have two modes: "on" or "off". To use an elemental metaphor, this water and earth combination leads to mud: that may not hold enough structure or expectation for either partner to flourish. However, it could lead to some insights about what kinds of structure are required in intimacy for both parties in the future!

I usually have a pretty optimistic or strategic answer for compatibility, but this one would take a TON of open communication, boundary setting, rooting in personal value, and confidence on both sides. It could be an amazing friendship, but they may have needs in softness that the other isn't readily able to meet in a romantic connection.
What are the positive and negative traits of libra men?
I try not to restrict traits to gender, as we all have masculine and feminine experiences of each sign that can manifest in all charts. Everyone shines the same light in their own way, so to speak. To that point, we can highlight those differences!

Libra is an air sign; as the masculine, this can manifest in clear opinions and decision-making. Libra is heavily driven by their concept of “fairness”, as depicted in the scales that symbolize them. The sense of justice is heavily influenced by law, social expectation, and personal experience tempered toward impartiality. A Libra masculine may find it easy to see the perspectives of others involved in conflict, but also do a lot to convince and control those perspectives when operating in scarcity. In both positive and negative ways, the need for more data can delay the decision-making process, so creating an internal system of checkpoints may help keep your thought process efficient.

In the feminine capacity, Libras are supercharged, as it’s a sign ruled by Venus. Their connection and appreciation for beauty cannot be contained; these are people who know an aesthetic when they see it. Design, lavish lifestyle, and classy decor are hallmarks of a Libra feminine, though they shy away from the gaudy. The sin of tackiness carries a heavy toll for the judgment of Libra!

When it comes to dating, Libras are loyal, but it may not be in the way you are thinking. They are loyal to the concept of equity itself, meaning they may find it hard to remove themselves from toxic experiences in earlier romantic experiences. An “unhealed” Libra is likely to try and shoulder the weight of whatever their partner may not care to pick up. That said, Libras tend to learn quickly from their failed expectations, so boundary setting is a must-learn.

Once partnered, which is in itself likely a longer courting process (they do cross their t’s and dot i’s), Libras are unlikely to think about hopping off the scale as opposed to balancing it. They can handle the flexibility of roles and seek to react to their partner to maintain pace and peace.

Catching a Libra’s attention starts with style and ends decisively in substance. If you’re going to pursue a Libra, knowing your intentions with clarity will be key. Libras are experts in magnetism and attraction, knowing just how to pique the interest of others by thoughtful consideration and an uncanny ability to put themselves in others’ shoes.
What does the death card mean when doing a tarot reading?
When doing a tarot reading, the death card can either mean things are dead and you’re looking forward to what is next, or that you need to let go of something so something new can come into your life. Generally, it’s all about closed chapters and new beginnings, often referring to the space between the end of a chapter and the turn of the page. You can reduce it to the concept that everything in nature grows from something that died.
