professor, as always , so many good thoughts here, where to begin.
I don't want this to be hijacked by Yona but it's good news for you. Ace of Cups just means that there are brand new romantic developments for you. It is literally the card of 'butterflies'. However, as it appeared in shadow , it isn't telling us when, or in relation to another prediction, or giving the sequence.
I do believe in past lives, but i don't think I'd believe a reader since they can make up anything. However , I once read with Yaya Mariya and she told me her runes told her that I'd been abused by my partner in a past life, that I'd been a woman then too, and may have died early in life due to abuse and this is why she said I picked that I have a special guard in this life against men-and this is why she said I always meet people not of interest to me and if I'm interested, they are never available. I feel there is an element of truth to it; or it just seems to make sense.
I myself never wanted kids or marriage. I stuck to my guns on both fronts. My ex had proposed to me actually-and was also childfree, but still I didn't want to be tied down.
I also fear fire to the point of phobia. So putting these together, I wonder if I lived in medieval times as a woman and was burned at the stake or something!!
On reincarnation, I go back and forth. I'd rather live in the other realms than be reincarnated. I am an academic and hear me out: your lots will be determined by a multilevel probability model of a) demographic traits (intelligence mostly, athletic assets, health, also physical appeal), b) family integrity and SES ($$) and c) country of birth.
This is even assuming linear time-what if one were to end up in 1400 Europe for example.
So look at c) above. How many countries would you be OK being born into as either sex? as a woman? how many would be hell on earth? how many would allow you the chance of upward mobility of b) is lacking or if you wanted to go abroad?
You see my concerns here. The odds do not look great.
So I was born into an OK country ,but there are at least 100 + countries where my life would have been miserable compared to the one I was born into.
On law of attraction. I go back and forth. I've manifested small stuff. I would like to believe it but it's an endogenous relationship. when I keep a positive outlook and visualize let's say with love life and it's still app guy number 1,000,000,000,000 being abusive, I can't just push through.
But in other aspects, like visualizing a productive week and going for it-yes absolutely.
