on your days off, i make a point to take you out. we knock knees beneath the restaurant table, and share our appetizer while we talk about our weeks: yours at work, mine at home with our daughter. i see you at home every night, but there is something special about taking this time to be out, to be present, to be consciously together. we leave the restaurant arm in arm, your head resting against my bicep.

Pick A Card: Everyday Life With Your Future Spouse

Hey, there! Ivy here. In this new PAC that I prepared, we'll be taking a little sneak peek about what your everyday life is going to be with your future spouse. And I've also added some little details about them and/or your relationship. I've had a lot of fun doing the readings, and I hope you'll enjoy them as well! The energies are just so ✨ bEAUtIFuL ✨ ugh, I could bask in it forever.

Anyways, thank you all so much for the comments, likes, reblogs, love and high vibes in the first reading that I've made (which you can check out here if you still haven't.) You guys are as sweet as my favorite ice cream flavors. Here, just take my heart: 💙 I never expected a lot of people would resonated with the readings! Therefore I'm glad to have help in anyway. Sending much love your way, muah! Now without further ado, cue the music and let's start the reading!

Please choose from one to three piles. I pray that your intuition will lead you to the messages that's meant for you to hear. Keep in mind that this is a general reading so take what resonates and leave what doesn't! If one pile doesn't resonate with you at all, then you're welcome to choose again. After all, the situation that the cards predict is not set in stone. It's only one of the countless possibilities that the future holds, and you undoubtedly have the power to change your future.

From left to right: 1, 2, 3.

Pile One

chemistry, forgiving & learning, the world (reversed), page of swords (reversed), knight of pentacles, ace of wands (reversed), wheel of fortune.

Okay, I instantly got this sudden thought that your future spouse will spoil you, a lot actually. Or you both spoil each other. I'm receiving different kinds of messages but let me first begin with what I started. So there are like somedays when the both of you wanna go out and have fun together. Like going out to the mall, shopping, watching a movie, eating out, buying stuffs for your home and all that. And when you're both at home, you would just coop up in your couches and just Netflix and chill ͡° ͜ʖ ͡° (kidding. not.) I actually see this person as a bookish sort, they love reading. Especially novels where they could lose their selves into. That could be you too. I see one of you would just read aloud and the other listens earnestly. I actually got a hint earlier that both of you like to flex your wits and you like to debate about things, a lot actually. Nothing too serious, just things that makes your brains excited and learning about each other's opinions. Oh, and while I was starting to type this, I just saw that when you're both out in public, you're going to turn heads. Those people would just stare at the both of you for a moment because they think you're just a jaw-dropping, amazing couple. Probably the way you both dress, or the way you both talk as very engaging and intellectual, oh and they just couldn't deny the aura that you both permeate. Damn, I love this pile. You're both confident souls. (Dear pile 1, once you're both married, adopt me please lmao.) Oh! AND THAT PROBABLY WAS A MESSAGE TOO. Okay, for some of you, maybe you and your person would like to consider about adopting a child.

Okay, a little earlier I said that somedays you wanna go out together. But I have a feeling that you and your future spouse actually LOVES going out A LOT. And not just in typical places, but like both of you are this kind of people who explores every nook and cranny in their city or country. You both love exploring together. So yeah, when you marry this person, expect a lot of roadtrips and traveling and such. I feel like they like to go on hikings too, or maybe that's you. But don't worry, hiking is not an everyday life for the both of you, HAHA. Just going out here and there is.

One more thing, since the Forgiving and Learning card showed up, I feel like this is just an additional message that confirms that you and your FS don't fight a lot. But when you do, it's when serious things get. You don't quarrel about pointless things. Both of you will go through it logically. But your fights won't last. You'd easily forgive and explain to each each other while also learning something. For some of you, this is just a message for you right now to forgive your past so you can move confidently towards your future. Now, forgiving doesn't necessarily mean forgetting; but you can make peace with what's done in the past and you'd rather choose to leave all the negative energy and not become a victim of it anymore. (What am I a wise, old, bearded wizard with a pointy hat and a staff now?)

OMGGG, I JUST SAW 555 🦄✨

Channeled song: White Houses by Vanessa Carlton (i love this song sm)

Channeled words: rain, bush, two umbrellas, mansion, religious altar, sweet, priceless, pool or backyard party, valiant, aisle, dwindling, time, demanding for answers, lightning. (I literally just saw one out my window.)

PS: I forgot to point out. Both of you could be extroverts. But it's also possible for you or them could be an introvert. Nevertheless I do see one of you is extroverted.

Remember to take care and love yourself! See ya! — Ivy

Pile Two

express your love, this could be the one, ace of wands (reversed), eight of cups (reversed), the hierophant (reversed), knight of cups, the tower.

While shuffling the cards I saw a garden and I strongly feel that the house you'll be living in with your FS has a garden, or somewhere surrounded in greenery. Your relationship with them will also be nourishing. So in your everyday life with them both of you will actually be very romantic. Both of you literally can't go on a day without letting each other know how much you love each other. Oh, and I almost forgot! After seeing that garden, I also saw that your FS will cook you delicious meals every day. And I mean meals that you'll be eating in a restaurant. For some of you, your FS could be a culinary expert, a chef. Or that could be you. I'll point out that you'll rarely eat the same foods everyday, because you'd cook new meals together. Alright, I don't mean to change the topic right away but (AHSKDHSJSH) the same could be said in the bedroom, you know? Everytime you'd make love will feel very new and exciting for the both of you. Since I already mentioned the elephant in the room—I'd say: yes, part of your everyday life would be.. you know, THAT. Don't look at me, that's what I saw in the cards, so yeah. Golly, you can't just take your hands off each other, hmm?

MOVING ON... Okay, I get it now. I could make this reading very short and just say; “Everything is new with your future spouse.” But for the sake of clarity, I'd say right now that the main core of this relationship is actually exploring, learning, and doing new things together. LIKE LITERALLY. I can't stress it enough! Everyday will feel like a new exciting chapter with them! Damn. Oh, and rest assured that both of you will find fun, joy, and love in the things that you do together. Why do I feel like y'all would just celebrate life, dancing in the living room together? Heh.

You two could be very spiritual, but I definitely see them being one. You two would probably spend some time to meditate, learning more and discussing about spirituality, and just enlightening each other's souls.

One more thing; now this may or may not resonate with you at all. But for some of the people who chose this pile, it's most likely that you already know this person—your soon to be future spouse, yes. It's probably someone you're crushing on right now, or a trusty friend who you probably have an undeniably chemistry with, or that smoking hawt neighbor you have next door, I don't know, HAHA. OR... if you're not single and already in a relationship, then this is just a validation that your partner right now is, yes, they're ze ✨ O N E & O N L Y ✨

Channeled song: willow - moonlit witch version by Taylor Swift (omggg this is too beautiful, i want your channeled song sm lmfao)

Channeled words: candies, smile, take me, wooden doors, England, daisies, priest, focus, mars, home, wishing well, forest, cottagecore, dragon, believe, friend, fairy.

PS: There's a heavy cottagecore vibe here, confirmed it when willow came up. So I do feel that you'll be living together somewhere where nature is easily accessible. Could be your house's aesthetic is cottagecore, and/or you or they is such an enthusiast of that aesthetic.

Remember to take care and love yourself! See ya! — Ivy

Pile Three

romantic feelings, it's safe for you to love (this came out twice), eight of wands, queen of pentacles (reversed), the devil, the hanged man, seven of cups.

Alright, among the other two piles, this is like the most “chill” of them lol. Daily life with your future spouse would probably just be relaxing in each other's arms whenever you're both at home. I heard It's Nice To Have A Friend by Taylor Swift and this lyric stick out the most in my head: “Feels like home, stay in bed the whole weekend. It's nice to have a friend.” Oh and I have a feeling that song would resonate a lot with your relationship with them. It really feels homey and chill, I really love that song. With the oracle card that came out saying that It's Safe For You To Love, I feel like that could be a message for you when you start have a relationship with your FS or when you start developing feelings for them, that it really is just safe for you to love. Your past relationships might have left you wounded and then you're gonna start contemplating whether you could trust your FS to not crush your heart when you give it to them. But the Universe is literally just saying to you that it's safe for you to do so. I just saw 222, omg.

Might I point out that there is just a heavy passionate energy here. And I mean like the you know, you know. 👀 It's scorching in here, HAHA. There wouldn't be a day when your future spouse would stop letting you know and feel how much they love you. Also, I forgot to mention that they have this safe and homey energy around them and you just can't help yourself but to bask in it. They want to make sure to make you feel safe as much as possible and they wouldn't do anything that you're uncomfortable with. They like to take notes of your likes and dislikes. When both of you are free from work you would just be busy pampering each other. And I sense a relaxing atmosphere where both of you could just unwind and relax, having conversations and a glass of wine or two. This person loves taking care of you. Oh, and I heard this person could love gardening, or that could be you. Okay, they really have this Queen of Pentacles vibes to them. They are very nurturing and generous. I also heard this person can be quite of a neat freak, they like to keep things in their proper place and they don't like to see mess, the same could be said for mistakes—they don't like one. They could by a perfectionist. Also, expect this person to be introverted, they're also quite spiritual and psychic. So both of you might spend time together doing things together that fulfills you spiritually. For some of you, this person could be a practicing witch. I heard they're more of a green or kitchen witch. (Now for those of you who don't know, the term ‘witch’ can be used for all genders.)

And last but not least, both of you might be creatives. You'd spend time together doing art, it can be any form of art. This person could lean towards writing, they could be an author. Or perhaps that's you, or both of you. If that's the case, I definitely see some writing activity here. Overall, I sense a lot of creativity coming from the both of you. You two would share and give ideas back and forth and learn from each other. Aw, this is so... ಥ‿ಥ

Channeled song: I Know Places by Taylor Swift (and I just saw 1111)

Channeled words: pastel, canvas, painting, hot weather, coupons, Tracy, Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening by Robert Frost (poem), you have time, happy, skyscraper, glow, singing, miniscule, jumper clothing, dryad, quail bird, dewy grass, portal.

Remember to take care and love yourself! See ya! — Ivy

I see a lot of polytheists deciding that the notion that the gods may love us is a “Christian mindset” and They don’t “owe” us that. But just because They don’t owe us any warm feelings doesn’t mean it’s so unrealistic that the gods may actually have warm feelings in regards to a species that They have been coexisting with, actively helping, and watching grow for centuries.

I don’t think it’s out of the realm of possibility that They do more than simply tolerate us.
