I normally refrain from sharing a lot of the beautiful emails I get as feedback for my astrological chart analyses and my tarot readings, but one crew member whom I have known since the beginning of my Youtube channel ‘The Spiritual Social’ just wrote me to let me know that she is living out her manifested love story. I was completely speechless as I was reading her account and had the biggest smile of disbelief on my face. In spite of doing the kind of work I felt spiritually called to do for a couple of years now, I have my share of moments of deep doubt and self-consciousness, especially since at the moment the planet Saturn is transiting over my natal Mercury (my mind) and my Sun (my energy) making me feel rather tough on myself and the work I am doing. Exactly in one such moment, A. sent me the letter I got permission to reproduce below. Talk about Divine intervention 🙂 It is a beautiful account of how someone with just a little support can bring into being their dream love story (and also a lovely compliment to my skills, I’ve got to admit that). Thank you A., and now I’ll let her tell you her inspiring story:

“One early morning in January 2020, I went into a twilight state in which I inadvertently saw a vision of a tattooed man with dark features. The vision was so real that I woke up in shock, knowing somehow that I loved this man, and that I wanted to spend the rest of my life with him. For months he remained heavy on my mind, taking up a lot of my headspace as I struggled to go through a massive career change and faced the stress and confusion of the COVID-19 pandemic. During this time, I began to submerge myself into online tarot readings and watching videos about spirituality. The majority of the readings I watched were about my ‘future love,’ including the usual titles that involve ‘Who is Your Future Spouse?’ and ‘What Are Their Thoughts About You?’ It was around this time when I came across The Spiritual Social’s YouTube page. After watching several videos, I began to realize that you, Lexi, would somehow be able to understand my situation. I had some money saved up and had decided to invest in a reading.

First, I sent an email explaining my situation. I was hoping that you would understand where I was coming from. I knew on a deep level that you wouldn’t be the type that would dismiss my situation as nonsense. Fortunately, you didn’t. You thoughtfully responded by saying that you thought my situation was “beautiful” and had experienced something similar, yourself. You suggested that we do a General Reading to start, since I wasn’t sure if this man was an actual person, a spirit guide, or even just a figment of my imagination that I created to appease my ongoing stress. You then said that I would be able to ask for a Love Reading later on if I thought it was necessary. So we agreed to go along with the General Reading. This would be my first The Spiritual Social reading. The details are as follows:

First Reading: April 2020
The first few cards you pulled were some of the most difficult in the tarot: Death, The Hanged Man, and the 5 of Pentacles were among them. You noted that he was clearly going through a very difficult and dark time. You said that it seemed like he was coming out of a relationship, one that was karmic and intense. You read that it was his former girlfriend who had cheated on him, and maybe he had cheated on her as well. He was experiencing the end of this relationship and was reflecting on his life and where it was going. You then said something that brought some comfort to me: that it was good that we hadn’t met yet, because if we had, he would be very difficult to love. You also noted that the reason why I was ‘picking up on him’ (of sorts) was because I had reached the appropriate age where we would finally meet. You said it was because I had cleared all of my karma (interestingly, I had just completed my first Saturn return), but he was still clearing his, which was why there was a delay in our meeting.

A significant card that stood out to me for some reason was the ‘Full Moon in Sagittarius’ card from the Moon Oracle deck. Both you and I noticed the bright pink on the card. You mentioned that it was a signifier of the new love coming into my life. I also took note of the Sagittarius sign. As I am an Aries sun (and the only fire sign in my immediate family), I was glad to know that I was connecting with someone who would be compatible with my fiery energy. Another card was one that had the wolf on it (I regrettably can’t remember the card title or the deck it came from — I’m thinking it’s from an animal totem/spirit animal deck.) The wolf had a very striking stare, and you noted how it had ‘lone wolf’ energy. You then mentioned that the ‘lone wolf’ stereotype is actually a myth, that there is no such thing as a lone wolf in nature, as wolves are pack animals. This resonated with me not only because I also picked up on that energy, but also because I had long related to the lone wolf stereotype, myself. I thought, “This person and I must have a lot in common…”

You also asked if we could be given a card that would properly describe this individual. After a few shuffles, the King of Pentacles card shot out. You and I were both impressed. You read that this individual was going to be older, an Earth sign, and was good with money. The King was also possessively holding onto his pentacle, which you made note of. You said, “It’s like he’s saying, ‘It’s MIIIINE.’” You also mentioned that he would be very loyal (in fact, you kept saying that over and over), sensual, and a little controlling.

At the end of the reading, you looked into my question about what messages he might have for me. You very thoughtfully picked up on his feelings in that he wanted to move on from the strife that he was dealing with, he wanted to dedicate a new life to me, one where the house he lived in would be a home, and that his hard work would be justified by our relationship. You also picked up on his admiration for me and how ‘strong’ I was, and how I was going to help him view the world differently, especially how he viewed women, love, and life. He then also asked that I connect with him, and to not let him go. Because he was facing a very difficult time and needed my presence, he had somehow ‘called out’ to me and needed me to respond. I loved that reading and watched it over and over. Unfortunately, that summer was when your account got hacked and you lost all of your old recorded videos. I didn’t get a chance to save that reading, but I did manage to take note of those cards that really stood out to me. You told me that I would meet him within 10 months, but, unfortunately, 10 months came and went and I never met him.

Astrological Birth Chart Reading: Summer 2020
A few months after the reading, I was inspired to request a Natal Chart Reading from you. I was about to start my graduate degree program and was curious as to what type of energies I naturally exhibited in regard to how I learn, how I collaborate with others, and what my general life path was so I could apply that knowledge to my educational experience. Alas, I have a lot of contradictions in my chart, but you very graciously gave me a synopsis that helped me a lot. You gathered that I would have difficulty collecting dry facts due to my strong Aquarius placements (true); that as an Aries Mercury I was a slow-to-start communicator, but once I got going, I would not stop (true); because of my sixth house Jupiter I am most lucky by providing services to others and maintaining a daily checklist of chores (very true!); and that in time I would be rewarded with a family of my own, mostly comprised of friends, coworkers, and other community members, that I would care for as a matriarch. There was one big takeaway, though…

You indicated that I was destined for a life that would have me at the mercy of men, that I would need to be taken care of by them, and that I wasn’t meant to have a career as much as I was meant to be a traditional wife that would have her husband provide for her. This struck me as odd, as I have lived a mostly single life, and the reason why I was getting my graduate degree was to ensure that I could have a career and that I could provide for myself. But it got me thinking – could this ‘King of Pentacles’ character, the one who was good with money, be the one I was destined to be with? Could this all have been preordained?

Second Reading: April 2022
By Spring 2022, I had all but given up on this ‘vision’ of sorts, and figured that this ‘Lone Wolf’ was a figment of my imagination. I had gone back to my old ways of thinking that the rest of my life was to be spent alone, and I was struggling to make peace with that. That was when I decided to give myself a birthday present and requested a love reading from you. I figured if anyone could gauge where I stood in my love life, it would be you. This time, you didn’t seem to pick up on the same Lone Wolf energy as you did the first time. However, you did indicate that I would meet someone about whom I would be very curious. He, however, would not want to reciprocate my feelings. At least not at first. You picked up on a warning that I needed to ‘trust’ the energies of this person, even if they come across as rude or too arrogant for my taste, because there was a chance I would not take too kindly to their behavior and would be inclined to cut ties with them before any connection could be made. I was surprised at this, as it seemed to be a reaction that is out of character for me, but I heard you out. What was interesting is that you also pulled a card that had the wolf on it. I figured this was a strong sign that this person was the Lone Wolf, and that his energy never left me.

Results
In May 2022, I was referred to a job by a close friend/coworker. I applied for the position and got the job within a few weeks. Everyone at the organization seemed nice, and I adjusted well to the new environment. One day, I completed a task and wasn’t sure what to do next. The supervisors at the time were unavailable, so I asked a coworker for help. He was very kind and showed me the rest of the work process. I found myself blushing, though, because I felt a very strange, yet strong attraction to him. There was definitely tension, and he seemed to pick up on it, too, because he started talking a lot and we ended up cracking terrible jokes and laughing nervously. I was horrified by my feelings, as I had just started that job and was afraid of losing it over an unprofessional interaction with a coworker.

It wasn’t long until we started talking more while at work, and I learned we had a lot in common. I found out he was a much older divorced man who had an adult daughter. His ex-wife had cheated on him which had led to the divorce. He, like me, had left the corporate world after years of abuse and had wound up in a part-time job in the public sector. He was very educated, with two advanced degrees, and was a college instructor at one point. He was passionate about books, movies, and all things pop culture. He also, like me, came from a religious family – something we often traded notes about.

One day, he approached me while we were both on break. He told me that he was writing a piece and wanted my expert opinion (because I told him I was a writer, too). I said yes, I would be happy to. He was glad and asked for my email so he could send it to me once he was finished. I obliged and gave him my email. Then he asked for my phone number so he could text me once he sent it. Once again, I obliged and gave him my number. The next day, he started texting me. It wasn’t about the piece, though. He was just texting me to see how I was doing. I politely replied that I was busy with my life as a working student, then asked him how his day was going. He replied with his daily to-do list, and the conversation went from there. It wasn’t long until he was texting me every day to see how I was doing. Eventually, he sent me pictures of him during his childhood and told me very personal stories about his life. It was also around that time he found an Ernest Hemingway book of short stories, one of which he had told me about during our work conversations, and had generously bought it for me. It was clear that he was interested in more than just writing critiques.

I’ll admit that when he first got my contact information, I did not realize he was asking in a romantic sense. I figured we were just two work colleagues who were evolving into friends. When he started sharing all of that personal information and buying me that gift, I was surprised. I didn’t see us that way. It was just another incident where I fell into the trap of missing signals, which is something I have been criticized for in the past. This is likely due to my general lack of self-worth, as I don’t consider myself attractive or interesting enough for such attention. As a result, I was frozen as to what to do. I didn’t know whether to be creeped out or to just go along with it. Something told me to not be too concerned, though, and that he didn’t mean any harm. In the end, I just assumed he was a lonely person who wanted someone to talk to, and I was happy to be that person.

It wasn’t long until he realized that maybe I wasn’t as interested as he was, so he stopped texting as often as he did. Daily texts turned into weekly texts. Weekly texts into monthly texts. Our work conversations continued, though, and he was very respectful each time we interacted. He didn’t seem to be upset that I didn’t reciprocate his feelings. We still talked like there was no issue. We bonded over the usual things. I noticed that he genuinely listened when I spoke, which was a kind of treatment I don’t often get in my life. I appreciated him for it. I don’t know how the idea came to me, but it did. One night, while thinking about a writing project I had started years ago but never completed, I decided to text him to see if he would be willing to read it. He said of course. I said great, and that I would probably have something written and sent to him at a later date. It wasn’t until a few weeks later that I realized I had feelings for him…

It was during a long workday full of training and the staff was dismissed for lunch. I took one look at the designated lunch tables and noticed that all of them were full. I shrugged and excused myself to a quiet area of the building where I settled myself in a corner with some caffeine and a good book. I feared that I had alienated myself from the rest of the staff, but I shrugged it off. A few minutes later, he comes and sits down next to me, coyly asking why I was being “such a non-conformist.” I smiled and blushed, saying that I wasn’t, that there wasn’t any place to sit, and I wasn’t that hungry anyway. He smirked and then proceeded to ask me how I was, which triggered a long conversation that almost caused us to be late when going back to training. I think it was that incident that caused me to realize that I might have feelings for him after all.

Shortly after, we started texting daily again. Within a few weeks, we went on our first date. Then we started going on dates each week. By his birthday party in late December, I had met his daughter and made the debut as his girlfriend where I had met all of his close childhood friends. Our workplace chats became much longer and more in-depth in private. I then learned that he had had relationships with other women since his divorce, all of which were with younger women who either used him for attention or for his money (things I could never fathom as a painfully-modest woman!) I also learned that he had an aggressive personality, one with a temper that had an issue with authority, but underneath that tough, extroverted exterior lay a sensitive guy who just wanted to connect with someone.

I remember being happier than I had been in years. Each time I would go to visit him at his house, I would have a rampant case of butterflies. I would be so excited I could hardly contain myself. I felt like a child around him (in fact, I still do!). When I confessed all of this to him, he admitted that I made him feel the same, which was significant because he thought he wouldn’t have an experience like that again at his age. I knew I had found someone truly special, and I deeply regretted the lost months when we didn’t talk. It wasn’t until early January 2023 that I realized your readings seem to correlate with what I was experiencing. Had I finally met ‘The Lone Wolf?’ The one who had gotten me through the turbulence of the pandemic, and the changes I’ve experienced since then? The one I would misunderstand and want to write off? The one that I was destined to be with? I figured if I had had a telepathic relationship with him over these past few years, I must still have one now. So I decided to put him to the test.

For a few weeks, I kept sending him mental messages. The theme of these messages was, “(His name), tell me you’re The Wolf. Just tell me you’re The Wolf.” It wasn’t long until late one night at his house when we were relaxing after dinner and watching a movie. He got up and started moving around the room, turning off lights and giving the room a very mysterious, sexual energy. I asked him what he was doing. He responded with a smart comment. I responded with another smart comment. After which, he sat down next to me with a smirk on his face and said, “I’m a wolf.” I laughed and kissed him right then and there. I didn’t let him finish his sentence, because he already told me everything I needed to know.

Further Discoveries as a Result of Your Guidance
The cards you pulled:

• King of Pentacles: He is a much older Capricorn Sun who is good with money
• Full Moon in Sagittarius: He is a Sagittarius Moon
• Wolf cards in both readings, the first one with the ‘Lone Wolf,’ the second one with a wolf
  walking through the image. We have both had long conversations about the ‘Lone Wolf’
  stereotype, how it’s not real, and yet how we both relate to it.
• His Saturn and my Sun are both in Aries.
• His Sun and my Saturn are both in Capricorn.
• Our Mercury signs also follow the Capricorn/Aries dynamic – his is in Capricorn, mine is
  in Aries.
• His Mars and my Mars + Venus are in Aquarius (apparently this is an indicator of serious
  sexual attraction? I’ll let you be the judge of that LOL – my edit: Yes, it is!)
• His Venus and my Pluto + Lilith are in Scorpio (another indicator of sexual attraction.)
• His Juno and my Juno are in Scorpio.
• He has several planets in Virgo, which aligns with my 8th House Virgo (I have been led
  to believe that this is an indicator that he can help me undergo a rebirth of sorts, which
  has definitely been the case thus far!)
  Again, there is only so much I can glean from this synastry reading as I do not have his birth
  time. However, I think that what I’ve gathered thus far indicates that we have a karmic relationship and were meant to find each other in this life – which is, in fact, something we’ve actually said to each other!

In Conclusion
We’re still in the early stages of our relationship (only a few months in.) Even then, we still feel very close to each other and are now having discussions about sharing a home one day where the deed is in both of our names (which I guess coincides with your first reading, where you picked up his message of wanting to “build a home for us”). I have met a few of his close family members and each one likes me. He has also met a few my close relatives and they feel the same about him. It seems like this is a serious relationship that will likely be for the long term. I guess only time will tell!

Thank you again, Lexi! You are truly a gifted reader.

A.”

I’m truly honored and grateful to be able to help, although most of the work belongs to A. and the brave way in which she opened her heart to her love opportunity.

I am here to suport each and every one of you who needs someone to believe with and for them in those things that we keep secret & we don’t see and yet have the power to change our lives.

With universal love,

Lexi
