Anyone willing to offer a tarot reading for my b-day ?

If so, my question is: will things start taking off, will I get out of this sense of prison and darkness.... ? Or whatever you see coming for me this year?

Hi Stoika!

Sending belated birthday wishes and lots of hugs. Saturn squaring your natal neptune may bring out the pettiness of others and may make you feel insecure or wonder if you are seeing things realistically. I went through that over the last few years..mine related to stability (saturn and new beginnings and change..my first house) and reality (neptune ruling my 2nd house, but in the ninth)..so in the end I moved last year...I had to think realistically about my situation at the time. Saturn squaring your natal pluto..whatever needs to change..go with the flow and don't be stubborn..as the unexpected may happen to help you change..what house is ruled by your sun and where is your sun located in your chart? The 8th house may just be a sort of transformation.

What's coming up for Stoika over the next 10 months?

9 of swords
temperance (rev)
devil
3 of coins (rev)
9 of coins (rev)
knight of swords
clarifier: Ace of wands

Based on some of the transits you mentioned and these cards, it looks like you are being propelled from your comfort zone. You'll feel worried and down and out..also that you don't fit in with the others around you..and possibly people around you trying to control you and when they can't, their petty side comes out to play. Balance is something to keep in mind with temperance reversed. Also keep an eye on your finances..as you may also see difficulties here as well and with possessions and friendships..

It looks like you will move on from all of this when you're able to conquer your fears..and the clarifier is showing that you will start something new..a business..the potential is there for this, but you need to make the necessary effort (pulled another clarifier--the fool (rev))..I pulled another card and got the wheel of fortune--something unexpected will happen..pulled another and got the king of coins--seems like you'll have an opportunity to grow and succeed or someone more experienced will help you to succeed.

I have sun (intercepted sign in 7th) conjunct neptune (2nd house ruler) in scorpio both in the 9th house..neptune is also 8 deg from my mars (ruler of 3rd) near the midheaven..transiting pluto in my 1st house has already started to square my sun and most likely affecting my natal neptune as well..my intuition has been heightened..don't know if it is developing more or just a shorter transit thing..I still have transiting pluto still conjuncting my natal jupiter..

With all the cap and saturn being in cap in my chart, I've had to learn to just go with the flow or move on from situations..because you will feel boxed in otherwise..it wants you to look at things realistically..is it too costly to keep your home or do you need to find a cheaper apartment, etc.? Stuff like that. Don't know your situation.

There are no worries, I honestly don't mind. You have done so many accurate readings for me; I am happy to return the kindness. Also, I do enjoy reading for others, it is a good art for me to practice nevertheless <3
...

First, we have Seven of wands (R), Page of Swords, and The Six of Pentacles (R). You know the Seven of Wands (R) talks about wanting to give up, wondering if anything is worth it. I suppose feeling discouraged...You could feel like others are against you - feeling overwhelmed with all the challenges. This card is asking you to stand your ground as much as you can, even though it may be difficult and draining . The Page of Swords, is full of new ideas - it is exciting and intelligent, wanting to begin new projects. But it may not possess the skill needed to fully implement these ideas. In this case, again it is important for you to stand your ground, while that may be with yourself to carry on walking into the "light" or communicate your boundaries and needs better with others. You are facing these challenges for a reason, even if they feel overwhelming follow that small voice or ideas within you. The Six of Pentacles, with this card - is asking you to take care of yourself, don't neglect yourself while giving to others. There may be times when you overgive, this will drain you. In order to follow that small voice walking forward, there needs to be self-care. This doesn't have to mean neglecting others, but you are a priority, especially in times like these - you need the confidence and strength to carry on facing these challenges.

Next, we have The Queen of Swords, Two of Cups (R), Strength (R), Nine of Cups (R), and the Two of Cups. With the Queen of Swords, I think you may develop some clear boundaries, or have a sort of clarity of what is happening in your life; she is not an emotional Queen but still mature. So you may get to a place of being able to see things as they are and not let them get the best of you...With the Two of Cups in reverse, again this refers to building up that self-love and self-confidence, especially in these times of darkness - be gentle on yourself, and direct the love you have for others onto yourself as well. If not this may be reflected in your relationships, being taken advantage of or just feeling out of touch. As a clarifying card, I got The Hanged man - this definitely signals the pause you may be feeling at the moment, or not being able to see through the darkness. If It is time for pause this is much needed to gain that self-love, and a better perspective towards your other relationships perhaps. Or even a pause for now on certain relationships. Strength (R) is asking you to find this within yourself, again by going inwards - you are stronger than you think, especially when it comes to perhaps your relationships or things moving forward in general. The Nine of Cups is asking you to reassess what you are wishing for, is it for your highest good? These sparks of clarity that come through at times, will help you to move forward. Use them to connect with yourself and really think about what makes you happy. This is aside from material things, it is things from within. With The Two of Wands, this signifies the plan before the movement, so whatever you connect with internally, idea-wise - or emotionally, whatever makes you happy, I do believe you will start to pursue it, even if it is in the decision phase first, also the two of wands could signify travel, so there may need to be decisions made there. I got a clarifying card, The Eight of Swords - in this case, I think it is the light at the end of the tunnel, you will release whatever is holding you back, whether that is internal or external - there may be a new perspective on things. It is like the blindfold will be taken off, but it may require some work. There will need to be some decisions made, you will be more open to change - because you would have let go or made it through a difficult time; this will come with a lot of acceptance too.
