Get your future read

So today was the day. The one I’d been looking forward to all week.

After spending days in bed with COVID—like, actual zombie-level sick, no-energy-to-even-eat kind of sick—I finally emerged from quarantine and rejoined the living. And where did I go to celebrate my return to society?

A spirituality expo in BOOM, of course.Because why re-enter the world slowly when you can dive straight into tarot cards, auras, angel readings, and general mystic chaos?

The aura

We kicked off the day with something fun and light: an aura photo. Yes, like an actual picture of the energy radiating from your body. It sounded cute. Quirky. A fun little souvenir of the day. I was already guessing my colors—definitely orange (hello creativity!), maybe some purple or green?

When I got my photo back, it was mostly orange and red, with a splash of yellow. And yes, there was a little interpretation guide included (thank you, mini aura bible). Here's the tea:

• Red: Root chakra. Bold, impulsive, doesn’t read IKEA manuals. (Which tracks, honestly. I am a "we'll figure it out" girl.)

• Orange: Creative, emotional, values connection and friendships. Yep. Me.

• Yellow: Radiates inner joy, attracts others, warm like the sun. Awww 🥺

When I finally got the real reading, the aura reader told me that the yellow showed growth, and that I was shifting into a more empowered, grounded version of myself—less overthinking, more doing. He even said I’d let go of people who used to hold me back and now had space to become something more.

Not gonna lie—it hit.I didn't expect to get emotional over a color-coded cloud, but here we are.

Tarot reading

But the real reason I came?I wanted my future read.

There were like 40+ tarot readers and mediums, which made it hard to choose. But then I saw her—this kind woman who instantly made me feel calm. She said she worked with angels, especially Gabriel. I'm not religious, but I decided to keep an open mind. If I was doing this, I was doing this.

From the moment she spoke, she radiated kindness. She said I had a beautiful energy. That I glowed. That I was emotionally in tune with myself. (Honestly, hype me UP, angel lady.)

I asked for an open reading—no specific questions, just “Let’s see what the universe wants to say.”

She used multiple decks, pulling cards on love, work, friendship, family, and even… my past lives (more on that chaos in a sec).

Here’s what came through:

• I carry a lot of old emotional wounds, which is why I don’t trust easily or let people in.

• I’m breaking free from that pattern right now—finally learning to believe in myself.

• Big opportunities are coming, but I have to stop looking back at the past or I’ll miss them.

• The card that defined it all? The Magician. (Yes. That’s a good one. Look it up.)

  
  

Then came love. She said the word “soulmate” (gasp) and told me he was coming—but I had to face my fears of getting hurt. When he arrives, I’ll know. Passionate, real, soulmate-level kind of love. So hey—if you’re him, feel free to slide into my DMs. I’ve been warned, and I’m ready.

Plot Twist: My Past Lives

Oh yes, we went there.

Apparently, my soul has… been through some stuff.Like:

• High Priestess burned at the stake. (I knew there was a reason I always go as a witch for Halloween.)

• Orphaned Indian child who sailed the seas with pure passion. (Iconic.)

• Knight who died in prison after fighting for their beliefs. (Tragic but noble, 10/10.)

Honestly, I could write an entire fantasy trilogy based on this. Am I the drama? Yes. Across multiple timelines.

The reading ended with her telling me that I’m guided by angels, especially Gabriel, and that I have a hidden energy—one that could make me a medium myself. She said the angels are already sending me signs.

Do I fully believe it? I don’t know.But did I want to believe it? Absolutely.It felt comforting, magical, and weirdly empowering.

So, to Gabriel:I hear you. I feel you.Now please, kindly… let the bad luck go. I got the hint.
