Crystal Introspection: Oracle Readings

Hello! ☺️ I am Teiji, your Oracle card reader. 🔮

My divination journey began in 2009, when I bought my first Tarot card deck.

☆ Three-card spread: $22.22
☆ Five-card spread: $33.33 I read for family, friends, and co-workers for practice, since early on I thought my biases would prevent me from reading for myself reliably. When I was still starting out, my approach towards reading for other people involved letting them shuffle the cards as they focus on their question. I believed that this way, the cards would be infused with their energy and the reading would be truly for them. I then interpreted the cards after laying them out in a spread, without asking the querents any information - including the question they thought about. Surprisingly, even with this blind method I was able to provide readings that resonated with people (they claim to understand what the interpretations referred to), although it often didn't make any sense to me given the lack of context. My practice with Tarot cards was sporadic, only reaching for them whenever I felt like it and only offering readings to those I know. Eventually I received my first Oracle deck, which I began to frequently use in 2018 for pick-a-card posts in an old page (Stones of the Hearth). But it wasn't until 2020 that I started offering readings to strangers online to improve my practice. This remote method prompted me to actually require querents to send in their questions so I can focus on them as I shuffled the cards. As I acquired more Oracle decks and used them more often in readings, I noticed that they were easier to "read" than Tarot cards. Intuitive hits were happening more often, and I didn't feel as constrained to the interpretations as I personally felt with Tarot. Hence, Oracle cards became my preferred medium for divination, although I still occasionally use the Tarot and have recently delved into the Kipper divination system. Through Oracle cards, I learned that I am an intuitive card reader, and that my methods are more aligned towards helping people look inward for finding the answers to their concerns. ✨

🚀 Post TL;DR: The astrology was accurate for the period I reviewed.

✨ TOPIC: Transits analysis of a 2018 event ✨

~~•~~•~~•~~

In honor of Venus Retrograde in Scorpio, which stationed retrograde (Rx) last October 3, 2026, I look back at an event in 2018 which was significant to me. And although it happened months before the actual retrograde in October 2018, it still had Venusian themes and shaped the way I view some things now.

That was the year I parted ways with a dear friend after a series of angry exchanges over a difference in belief. I don't claim innocence on it, either. I was petty and could have handled the situation better. But our opinions couldn't be reconciled, and they chose to walk their path.

Since starting my astrology study, I've wondered which transits influenced the way I thought, felt, and acted that time. So here is my humble transit analysis for it, from the point-of-view of a beginner. I used the checklist from Episode 70 of Cosmic Group Chat podcast for this (link below):

~~•~~•~~•~~

~~ BACKGROUND ~~

★ Early 2018 was still my 7th House (7H) Profection Year. So themes around one-on-one relationships (romantic or otherwise) were in focus. Based on what I've learned so far, the "target" of these themes (and transits) doesn't always have to be me; it could also be people I personally know. Any transits in that house for early 2018 were significant.

★ My 7H Time Lord (Jupiter) is located in my 11H, so we can already see that friendships and community also came into play. So Jupiter transits and aspects, as well as transits in the 11H, should be taken into consideration in this analysis.

★ My natal Jupiter is fairly well-aspected: trine with Saturn Rx that resides in the 7H Jupiter rules, and sextile the Sun. In the Planetary Joy scheme*, Jupiter rejoices in the 11th House of "Good Spirit", which is where my natal Jupiter is located.

*(In traditional astrology, the Planetary Joy scheme is the arrangement of the seven traditional planets in the corresponding houses where they are able to function with ease or express themselves most naturally.)

★ But my Profected House isn't empty; Saturn Rx sits in the 7H. So Saturn transits and aspects should also be noted in analyzing my 2018 transit chart. It can be said that it was the co-ruler of my Profection Year.

★ I also need to consider the sect my guiding planets belong to: both Jupiter and Saturn belong to the Day Sect. "Sect" is a concept in traditional astrology where the seven visible planets are divided into two "teams". The Sun, Jupiter, and Saturn belong to the day team or Diurnal Sect, while the Moon, Venus, and Mars belong to the night team or Nocturnal Sect. Mercury's classification will depend on its position relative to the Sun; in my case, it rises after the Sun and thus belongs to the Nocturnal Sect.

I have a Night Chart, so diurnal planets are "uncomfortable", so to speak. It would need some effort from me to receive the benefits bestowed by Jupiter, and Saturn presents more challenges and obstacles in particular.

★ Next, I pulled up my Solar Return (SR) chart for 2017 (valid for one year until 2018 birthday) to check where my guiding planets were located in the SR and what their conditions were:

🌌 Jupiter: Was in 2H Libra in my SR chart, so 2H (value and resources) and 7H (one-on-one relationships/contracts) themes were merged for that period. However, my SR Jupiter was in retrograde, which meant that the energies were internalized and I needed to revisit themes on opportunities, happiness, spiritual growth, and the like connected to my self-worth (SR 2H), creative endeavors (natal 5H), relationships, and friendships (Profected House and natal Jupiter placement).

An important aspect for SR Jupiter Rx was the sextile to my natal 7H by sign, and to my natal Saturn Rx by degree (~4°). This meant that SR Jupiter can "see" the Profected House it rules, and would be able to provide some support to it despite it being occupied by a malefic (Saturn). I also interpret this as any challenges presented by Saturn might lead to reconsideration of my beliefs and perspectives, and result in better "blessings" once the challenges are overcome.

One other relevant aspect was SR Jupiter Rx conjunct my natal South Node (also ~4°), which means it opposed my natal North Node (NN). Jupiter may be considered the Greater Benefic, but it also expands what it touches, and is the planet of excesses. Libra is the sign of diplomacy, relationships, and balance. It wants to keep the peace.

With my natal South Node (SN) there, I would tend to default to avoiding conflicts with people, including my friends (5H opposing 11H). SR Jupiter Rx there would suggest that I was being challenged that time to review how I approach my creativity and hobbies (natal 5H), and how I deal with my community (11H), because it increased my tendency to gravitate more towards passivity or people-pleasing, versus confrontation (Aries 11H).

🌌 Saturn: It is worth noting that I was at the tail end of my Saturn Return; considering Saturn is my out-of-sect malefic, this period in my life was particularly challenging and presented issues on boundaries, responsibility, and the like. The house it was in for my Solar Return, however, was the 4th, so my private and family life also came into focus from 2017 to 2018.

The above was only the stage being set-up; the natal chart and the solar return chart were the background energies that influenced me for that period. The transits for one particular date were the active influences behind my thoughts and actions. I will be focusing on the major aspects (conjunction, opposition, trine, square, and sextile) to keep things simple.

~~•~~•~~•~~

~~ THE TRANSITS ~~

I pulled up the transit chart for one particular day in April 2018; the reference time was when I messaged my then-friend that I was already at the meeting place. In my opinion, that was the moment that the tone was set for how that fateful day - and the subsequent interactions in the days to come - would turn out for me.

★ The first thing that is VERY telling for me in the transit/event chart: The Ascendant for that moment was in Libra, the sign of my natal SN. It is apparent that my people-pleasing tendency was in overdrive for that meeting, which was also exaggerated by Jupiter's presence there in my SR chart.

★ It didn't help that the Ascendant ruler for that event (tr. Venus) was conjunct my natal Ascendant (by ~1°). I WANTED to be liked; I wanted that meeting to be favorable, and to have a pleasant interaction with my then-friend and the person they wanted me to meet. It may not have been a Venus Rx period yet, but Venus was already making her presence known.

★ Transiting (tr.) Jupiter Rx (Time Lord) didn't make any aspects to my natal or SR placements. But it was in 6H Scorpio, where my natal Moon is. I would interpret it as my career, health, and daily routines being highlighted at the time, but with greater intensity and depth due to its Scorpionic nature. It is possible that my intuition (Scorpio Moon) was also heightened while Jupiter was there; but given the retrograde motion, Jupiter may have also caused me to constantly reassess and refine intuitive hits.

★ Tr. Saturn (co-ruler) had already left my 7H and was retrograding in Capricorn, its home sign. Themes of transformation, intimacy, other people's resources, and even the occult, were highlighted and needed to be reviewed. Because Saturn was in domicile, it expected more work and accountability - and also posed some hardships - around these areas.

🌌 Tr. Saturn Rx was almost exactly squaring my natal Lunar Nodes (less than 10' orb). It suggests a period of challenges and tension around how I assert myself (Aries NN), and how I deal with people around me (Libra SN). I was being urged to step up and work on my confidence in taking action towards my goals without waiting for permission or consensus from a group.

This was where my struggle was. During the entire conversation, I was wishing I had my other friends there so they could "rescue" me. Not from danger; it was so that they could verify some claims, do rebuttals, or call out any falsehood - which I was unable to do as I didn't want any conflict.

🌌 Tr. Saturn Rx opposed my natal Mercury (~2°). This meant that I wanted my opinions (as well as others') on the topics discussed that time to be founded on facts, tradition, or lived experience through hard work (Saturn in Capricorn), rather than being simply based on feelings or intuition (Mercury in Cancer). Another interpretation from Astro-seek is, "During this period, other people may not agree with your opinions and you will feel as if they live in another world.", which was accurate as I did not buy into a belief my ex-friend was selling.

🌌 Tr. Saturn Rx sextile my natal Moon (~2°). What I was sensing instinctively at the time was combined with the need for a solid basis and logic/common sense on spiritual claims (the main topic of our meeting).

🌌 Tr. Saturn Rx squared my SR Jupiter Rx (~4°). My two guiding planets being in a conflicting aspect with each other (AND both in retrograde) suggests an event where my beliefs in what I value in myself and in other people, and how I see my own abilities (SR Jupiter in 2H vs. tr. Saturn in natal 8H) were placed under scrutiny by Saturn's stern gaze. And because they were in charge of my Profected House, I also interpret this as the tension they brought also affected my one-on-one relationship (aka with my ex-friend).

★ Tr. Mercury in my Aries 11H and conjunct my natal NN (~3°). My mind was very clear at that time; I knew what was wrong logically, which occult takes were questionable or lacked factual or cultural basis. However, despite that knowledge and what my intuition was telling me, I couldn't articulate my thoughts out loud for fear of an argument (tr. Mercury opposing natal SN).

🌌 That hesitation to communicate my thoughts can be attributed to this aspect: Tr. Mercury squaring natal Mercury and Mars (~2°). There was tension between the transit's influence in fearlessly expressing what I was thinking (tr. Mercury in Aries) vs. speaking and acting only when I deemed it safe to do so, and when my emotions prompted me (Mercury & Mars in Cancer).

But because embodying the NN can be uncomfortable even though it is the point of increase, I ended up venting to my other friends (moving and talking "sideways", like a crab) instead of being just direct with the conversation.

★ One last transit I wanted to mention was the Sun being in Ta**us at that time (April 2018). Although it had nothing to do with my Profected House or my guiding planets, it still had a literal effect on me. Not to mention that it opposes Scorpio, the house Jupiter was transiting on that date (sign-based opposition). And it actually opposed my natal Moon by about ~2°.

🌌 It created friction between ego (tr. Sun) - whether mine or others' - and my emotional comfort and instincts (Moon in Scorpio). I was burdened with the knowing that something was off with the information I was getting, or that it didn't sit quite right with my principles, but I struggled with how I would be perceived if I dared to bring it up.

🌌 Ta**us is my natal 12H, which is the house of the unconscious, what is hidden, of dreams, our self-undoing, and of our hidden enemies. The Sun being there meant that my 12H was also the focus of that period. I literally sabotaged myself/my integrity during Ta**us season, and revealed an enemy in the form of my ex-friend... who is a Ta**us Sun. So the aspect of transiting Sun opposite my natal Moon was the celestial version of the conflict between the ex-friend (Ta**us Sun) and me (Scorpio Moon). 🫠

~~•~~•~~•~~

Looking at the aspects of that day's transits against my natal and SR placements (including those not mentioned here), I can see that it was meant to be challenging for me. I didn't know nor believe in astrology back then, so I didn't check the skies prior to making any plans. If that was Saturn's final test for me as I ended my Saturn Return, I failed spectacularly. So, what did I learn from that experience?

1. You don't have to agree on everything to be friends. You can have different opinions on matters (such as faith or politics), as long as that difference is respected and a healthy boundary is drawn on what can be tolerated. But once one person's belief is being imposed upon the other, or if it will always be a point of contention between you, perhaps the friendship had already run its course.

2. Relationships, whether romantic or otherwise, don't need to have a mystical, fated label for it to be valid. As long as you mutually care for each other, and are interested in being in each other's lives, then that is enough. Insisting on a fated connection implies you have no agency over the relationship and is an attempt to escape any accountability for whatever occurs.

3. Hard work, or consistent work (no matter how slow), bring in results. This is specially true for spiritual gifts and practice. There is no instant anything. Some people are born with psychic gifts, yes; but even then they'd need to develop it over time. A rare scenario would be someone spontaneously awakening or developing abilities after a life-altering event, such as a near-death experience.

4. Spiritual bypassing creates fake practitioners.

5. Trust your instincts and be upfront about it. This was my greatest failure that time. I should have just voiced out my disagreement or disbelief then and there instead of keeping it to myself and allowing my passive-aggressiveness to take over days later.

Would my friend have appreciated my honesty? Perhaps. Or perhaps it would have resulted in an immediate confrontation due to their embarrassment at getting a call-out instead of unconditional support. Either way, I am fully aware of — and take the blame for — my cowardice that time, and for growing resentful of the issue that I turned petty.

But I still stand by my own opinion of that controversial matter, which I had weakly expressed prior to that meeting (because I wanted to be the supportive friend), and which I stood firmly upon when the conflict was at its peak. Their belief on it is their own, and my disagreement on it is mine.

6. Over-reliance on others can stunt personal growth. At least, that is the lesson my NN is trying to teach me. The North Node is called "The Dragon's Head", and where it sits in our chart is the point where we need to consciously develop new habits, traits, skills, etc. that will lead to our growth. It is unfamiliar territory, but what we are meant to work on.

Directly opposing it is the South Node ("The Dragon's Tail"), which is the personality and skill set we have mastered throughout different lifetimes, or even in this lifetime. We are meant to DECREASE our reliance on them, and release the parts that no longer serve us.

I leaned too much into my SN tendencies that it leaked into the area my NN was at. I had hoped my friends would do the uncomfortable thing for me due to my self-doubt. I should have been more independent and taken the lead, as an Aries would have done. 🪷

I dare not call 2018 a period of my "dark night of the soul"; I did not experience a crisis of faith, nor did I have a particularly painful time in my life. That would be an embellishment of a normal experience that people encounter at some point in their lives (i.e. friend breakups). But it changed the way I perceived some things, particularly in the realm of spiritual practice and the occult.

~~•~~•~~•~~

That was a long one! It turned out more complicated than I expected, even though I originally intended it to just be a casual look at the charts.

An interesting thing I found out: Kepler College has a sort-of chart where you can assess your astrology skills. 😀 And of course, I took a look at it.

I'm apparently in between Low Beginner and High Beginner level, so literally Middle/Medium Beginner? 😅 They don't have that level, of course. It is very humbling to know, since it showed me just how much I DON'T know; I am still a ways off before I can even consider myself Low Intermediate level.

It is such a dedicated study that the school can only consider an astrologer as "Advanced" when they know how to use the more specialized approaches. I don't see astrocartography/relocation astrology there, but I assume it's also a more advanced/complicated technique. In fact, even the astrologers I follow would look for an astrocartography expert to refer clients to. 🤔

I got a lot to learn, and I just need to keep reading. 💖

🔮 Timeless Oracle Guidance 🔮

Here is the message you need to know for when you come across this post:

💎 Patience 💎

You might be feeling rushed to get something done today, or to acquire a material possession as soon as possible. Now might not be the right time to do so. This is your reminder that good things take time.

Perhaps you still need more time to prepare, more time to double-check requirements, to redo an important step in a process, or to save up money before making a big purchase. Try to take a step back; take a deep breath and view things from a wider perspective before making your next move.

If results are what you are anxious about, remember that trees don't grow overnight. Take things slowly, one step at a time. 🪷

Some real-life learning:

I got to visit the Adler Planetarium while on a short trip to Chicago. I chose the place fully expecting to see info about planets, galaxies and the outer space in general - I was a bit of a science nerd when I was younger and loved the outer space. I even had a thin volume on the Solar System that I kept reading back then. So I thought it would be nice to nerd out for a bit.

Well... I was mindblown. Forgive my beginner ignorance for saying this, but it completely slipped my mind that astrology and astronomy were basically the same thing in the past - before they more or less officially diverged around the 17th century CE during the Scientific Revolution and Age of Enlightenment. As soon as I saw the old instruments used in looking at and measuring the night sky, I immediately thought, "Those are for astrology!"

And indeed they were. There were medieval astrolabes, telescopes, Armillary spheres, sundials, old books, both originals and replicas. I was so fascinated that I just kept taking photos. The books and wall information even contained the Renaissance-era version of charts (square-ish, I don't know what it is formally called, sorry 😭), which I wouldn't have recognized had I not seen the Thema Mundi presented that way on Threads.

The planetarium had a 30-minute Skywatch Live show where they simulated the Chicago night sky without all the light pollution; it was as pitch-black as how the ancient astrologers saw the heavens centuries ago. The presenter mentioned how the ancient astronomers divided the sky into 88 regions based on 88 constellations to better track the Sun, Moon, stars and planetary bodies. They further divided the sky along the ecliptic (the path the Sun takes throughout the sky for the year) in order to track the seasons. This division was based on 12 constellations, which we now know as the Zodiacs.

And as the simulation went on to show the distant stars and constellations, planets, and galaxies, I realized something: I couldn't actually see them clearly with the state of my eyes. Sadly, if I somehow traveled back in time in my current body, I wouldn't be able to function as a competent astrologer because of my night blindness and astigmatism. The twinkling stars would be barely discernible to me, and the swirls of galaxies or the shining planets would be blurry points of light that I might doubt I'm actually seeing. 🫠

We are truly fortunate to have modern technology and present-day astrologers who designed astrology software and websites. They make casting charts, calculating degrees and tracking transits easier - without having to constantly look up at the sky for hours on end. It makes astrology accessible to the eager learners with impaired eyesight. ✨❤️

Attached are a few astrology-related photos I took in the planetarium, plus a photo of the moon rock the Apollo 13 mission retrieved from the Moon. 🌙

Some magickal finds at a witchy shop. ❤️

I didn't see a rock that I liked there, unfortunately. I think anyone would have better luck finding great pieces at stores that sell crystals as their main product.

BUT, the store has TONS of books on the occult: Celtic magick, ceremonial magick, and divination, to name a few. It took a while for me to find titles that I'd actually read (as opposed to just collecting/hoarding them).

They sell other ritual paraphernalia, too: candles, incenses, herbs, chalices, etc. The employees are actual practitioners (I overheard them as they were talking about their individual practices 😅).

If you're curious and you're nearby, look for Malliway Bros at 1407 W Morse Ave, Chicago, IL. ✨

(Yes, I'm endorsing them because they complimented my handmade Scorpio pendant 😅😂)

Interesting coincidence (and find!)

I came across this book at the Dollar Tree while I was browsing items. I don't know if it's a good resource for astrology, but it had positive reviews on Amazon (IF they're reliable - there's only 36 of them).

Anyway, it's too cheap to pass up, so I purchased it even if it might be about modern astrology. 😅

And I found this on the same day I was looking up on some information about Mercury. So an interesting coincidence, indeed. Is this a message from my Chart Ruler? Guess I'll need to read the book to find out. 🤔

Posted on Mercury's day. 💛🪷

09/19/2026

Sharing an article I found while looking up a specific placement: Moon in the 6th House. It's not something I regularly come across with on Threads; it is not glamorous like the 10th House, nor mysterious and magickal like the 8th House or 12th House.

Even an astrologer I follow jokingly called this house "boring", because it IS mostly about the mundane, everyday things. But as always with astrology, it all depends on the native's chart and the nuances of the placements. Below are some quotes from said article, as well as my thoughts on them:

💬: "With the Moon here, the body often acts like a dramatic but honest narrator. Emotional stress may not stay politely in the mind; it may travel into the stomach, the sleep cycle, the appetite, the immune system, or general energy levels. The body becomes a messenger, sometimes a rather passive-aggressive one."

- This was the most apparent to me when I worked at a bank. The pressure to perform and show up everyday, even during weekends, was overwhelming that I'd constantly get sick. Almost on a monthly basis. My allergies kept flaring up, as well. And it didn't help that we also tend to report for duty EVEN IF we are literally sneezing and coughing. Not a healthy work practice, I know.

💬: "They can be the kind of people who make a place run better because they are competent, but also because they understand people... In environments that treat human beings like replaceable office furniture, they may wither quietly while continuing to submit immaculate work."

- Ouch. I felt this. I considered myself somewhat competent as an auditor - you cannot survive there otherwise. Internal auditors are held at a high standard, so we really had to perform well. So I did. But I also felt like a robot at times; so much so that I had a sort of culture shock when I worked at another company where the environment was more laid-back (aka I felt more human).

💬: "Because the 6th house is tied to craftsmanship, discipline, and the mechanics of daily life, the Moon here can create someone who is instinctively drawn to honing skills and paying attention to the finer details. There is often a real satisfaction in getting better at something, in improving methods, in making a process cleaner, smarter, or more elegant."

- Actually, yes. This applies to my literal crafting where, although it is a hobby instead of work, I would often end up thinking about how to improve my wire wrapping or a design, even right before going to sleep.

And in a previous workplace where I learned the wonders of Excel and KNIME, I used to apply the formulas to organize and summarize data better, or constantly improving workflow designs to use as little nodes as possible in KNIME.

My Moon being in Scorpio adds an obsessive quality to these traits, too. 😅

If I look deeper and apply aspects, my Moon is in a harmonious trine with my Ascendant ruler. So my emotional needs, functional stability, and daily routines are tied to my identity and how I show up in the world. My Moon is also trining my Mars, so I am driven to act when I feel the need to regulate myself through tasks that other people might deem ordinary.

This is further strengthened by my Moon's specific degree being within the terms/bounds ruled by Mars; per Vettius Valens, it means I am easily upset, unstable, irascible, etc. if my needs aren't met. If I look at it from the point of view of the decans, my Moon placement is in the decan that is ALSO ruled by Mars. So I interpret it as action (Mars) = security and nurture (Moon).

If you also have your Moon in the 6th House, give this article a read. It might help you understand yourself better and make you feel seen. The placement might make us extremely competent and efficient in our work and daily responsibilities, but it also reminds us to set boundaries and put ourselves first when our bodies ask us to take a break. ❤️✨

💬: "[Crystal Introspection] accurately pointed out the changes and challenges I'd been going through for the past month, and helped me understand them from an astrological POV."

~~•~~

This was my most challenging practice reading yet, because I moved beyond what a beginner ought to focus on and looked at transits.

And while it is recommended that we observe transits to see how they affect us (see my post on transits), the norm (for beginners, IMO) would be overlaying the transits with OUR OWN natal charts, not with other people's.

This was also particularly difficult since I needed to analyze the transits to make sense of a situation, instead of simply trying to forecast possibilities based on the planets/houses affected.

My process was to first check the natal placements in the houses related to the concern. They explained the ideal path/method (it was a career question of sorts), but it didn't exactly provide the answers I needed. And my instincts kept screaming to "Check the transits!"; so I did.

I looked at the aspects transiting Mars in Cancer made with the natal planets, then proceeded to check aspects of other transiting planets against placements in the angular houses (which included the Profected House). And I'm now realizing (as I write this post) that in my eagerness to practice, I included the OUTER PLANETS in my analysis. Even though I'm supposed to focus on traditional astrology. This was probably why I felt that there were too many things to look at when I was reading the transits table. 😂😅

Lesson learned. At least my efforts paid off, since it gave the client insight into what was actually happening to them. Moving forward, I will only focus on the Profected House, its ruler and any planets within that house when I analyze transits. That way, my beginner brain won't burn out from me overcomplicating matters. ❤️🪷
