That is my understanding too. Andromeda will eventually merge with the Milky Way, and they along with all the other galaxies gravitationally bound, will likely never be ripped apart by the expansion of spacetime. The hold of gravity (and probably dark matter/energy too) is strong enough that spacetime just doesn't expand where there is sufficient matter concentrated. The space becomes the matter that is "inside" it. So if something like a big rip happens eventually, it will, like you said, be very far in the future, and probably due to dark energy or entropy if it does occur.

endocriminologist posted:

Andromeda is very bluepilled, agreed.

Speaking of the color blue, I just did an effort post about the entity I've been calling "Blue" in my mindful messages thread. https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=4055383&pagenumber=1#post538461262

It may be interesting to some here, but no pressure to check it out if not. It is rather long and link/image-heavy, though not as much as some of my last ritual posts here in the UAP thread, lol. But basically, I needed to finish that ritual before my mind could be clear enough to do readings for other people. This one was starting to dominate too much of my thought to clearly read anyone else's destiny. But luckily, now that it's done, I feel enough clarity and relief that I'll do draws for those asking for them here in the near future, possibly today depending on how busy my 'normal' human job is. Caveat though, my draws for you will probably be much shorter than the post linked above, that is a bit of an unnecessary length for most human questions, lol.

It's not "just gravity," in the current model it's a type of matter that exists and has gravity, but doesn't interact with any of the other four major forces (strong, weak, and most importantly electromagnetic) this means the matter is out there floating or zipping around, but unable to directly interact with regular matter through any force other than gravity.

dark matter is what makes the galaxy spiral at a uniform rate so you should thank your lucky stars (;)) that it's there! because otherwise the galaxy would just be a big cloud of dust from everything getting smashed up or maybe nothing would have ever coalesced or i suppose would just be one big ol singularity or hell maybe there wouldn't be galaxies at all

So, here is what I did for my pulls for this thread. I gathered up power and meditative energy in the Orb Center, focused and thought as usual, then went over to another table, where my sun/moon chart desk mat waited for the spread. I rolled Lady Salvia's d6 to determine how many cards to draw for each person and their question, with more or less cards possibly meaning how much my higher powers know/care about the person and their questions. (That might sound kind of insulting.... but I promise it isn't intended to be, hahaha. I think you're all worth all the time and attention we can give, but both my guides and my own body can't exert all of our energy into every reading, or things would get bad.) Also, I shuffled the deck between each person's read, and drew the cards as blindly as I could. Any synchronicities between the readings (and I believe there are some), are likely from the cosmos/my higher powers, more than my own conscious intentions.

no lube so what posted:

people pulling cards?!?!

hit me
5 cards

Ace of Swords - The Magician - Ace of Wands - Page of Cups - Temperance
These cards suggest a long, but powerful and rewarding path for you. The Aces and The Magician all strongly represent things like power, skill, and action. You should maybe ask yourself questions like- How can I expand my mind and perspective? What do I want to create and why? How can I follow my heart and live my passion?

Answers to these questions may come in the form of messengers, divine or otherwise. That's what the Page of Cups represents, plus creative beginnings and synchronicity. Then, finally, Temperance suggests that amidst all this, you should keep balance, moderation, and purpose in mind. This will allow you to succeed at all of the previous changes, while maintaining precious harmony and balance in your life. Be careful, because wielding that much power and creativity invites dangers, both to yourself and others. Listen to the messenger, and keep to balance.

This reading felt very powerful to me, so I hope this hit proves insightful and valuable for you!

Good Soldier Svejk posted:

I'll gladly take a draw for anyone wanting to practice their reading and I will grant the information that I am traveling soon with my wife for recreation as information to color the cards.
5 cards for you too.

King of Wands - Queen of Wands - Three of Pentacles - Two of Pentacles - Seven of Cups
This reading feels quite synchronistic. you mentioned traveling with your wife, and then the cosmos gave a King and Queen. And powerful ones, it seems, because Wands and Pentacles are both associated with magic and power in my mind. The King, the natural leader, the start of your trip maybe, asks how can you be mindful of your intentions to create the outcome you want on your journey? Then the Queen asks how to fully express yourself and your passions. I get the feeling that both of you may end up asking questions like that during your travel.

During the trip, the three and two of Pentacles indicate that you will probably need to juggle a lot of time management and scheduling priorities. Do them together as much as possible. There may be great challenges on the trip, and you will probably both need to collaborate with each other to see them through. The Seven of Cups says that if you can make all of these upcoming choices wisely, you will have a fantastic, imaginative experience(s) at the end of the road. Good luck, and enjoy!

poisonpill posted:

Yeah you know what? Sli’P Joe won’t disclose and the thread’s turning on itself so hit me with a reading. What do I need to watch out for this year?
1 card for you. Your draw is The Emperor.

The thread may be turning on itself, as may be a lot of other elements in the world. (But perhaps, not as much as it might appear at first glance.) Anyway, as for what to look out for during the year, The Emperor shows that you will need to look out for authority, domination, excessive control, rigidity, and inflexibility, especially coming from "father-figure" types of people. Do that, and you may become Emperorlike yourself, stepping into your own legitimate power and authority, and being able to use those to lead others.

Rickshaw posted:

I keep drawing the motherfucking five of swords. i've drawn it like 4 or 5 times in the last week. someone tell me what that's about
For your reading, I started by taking out the Five of Swords manually, as a baseline to the questions we want to know. Then rolled to see how many additional cards to draw-


I got one, and drew the Queen of Wands. Beyond what I said previously about her suggesting questions about expressing yourself and your passions, there are other aspects to her you might find insightful when trying to interpret what the Five of Swords means for you.

The Five of Swords itself looks like what was said previously in the thread by other readers-

Lackey posted:

I've often found the Five of Swords on its own a card of aftermath of conflict. Are you the guy picking up the swords, watching other people fight, an observer? Are you carrying on their fight where they have given up? Swords generally indicate the mental realm such as intellect or thoughts. I see that smug guy with his swords could also be an opportunist, someone who is taking advantage of a situation happening to other people.

My suggestion is to draw a second card asking to clarify what the Five is about if you've not yet done that. I used to do single card draws so I could familiarize myself with the deck, but tarot works better for me when I draw more than one. You can get a great deal out of two-card combinations!
So we took that advice, it would seem! My second card for this being the Queen of Wands might mean- by expressing your passions with exuberance, warmth, vibrancy, and determination, you can heal from or even defeat whatever people or experiences the Five might indicate. You will shine and inspire others in the process, and maybe even get this blighted Five to change his ways and grow. I hope so.

Those are all I have the energy for now. If I missed anyone, please let me know, and I'll be happy to look at the cards for you when I have more time and energy. Blessings! :love:

Okay, I was compelled to do one more since this is your first time asking for a pull. But after this I must take a break, haha. (Although, despite drawing the full six cards for this, I am slowly getting the hang of it with all this practice, so this one was not as mentally draining as it could have been.)

So, regarding the things on your mind, let's see. This is what the spread is.


Ten of Pentacles - Seven of Cups - The Hermit - The World - Seven of Wands - Page of Pentacles

Ten of Pentacles represents wealth and financial security. Family, and society's typical definitions of "success." But underneath it all, there is a burning question- How can I create a lasting foundation for a sustainable future? If you have wealth, you may be doubting how much success it will actually bring you in the future. If you don't, you may be doubting if acquiring it will actually make you happy.

Seven of Cups, as mentioned above in the thread, is associated with fantasy, illusion, wishful thinking, choices, and imagination. I wonder if it's showing that the massive wealth or worldly possessions referenced in the 10 of Pentacles is a mirage. The mere appearance of success, that might soon begin to fade, or collapse entirely.

What do you need to know to choose wisely?

The Hermit may show you the way, with his lonely lantern. He brings soul-searching, introspection, inner guidance, but also a loneliness. You can discover much about the questions you seek by yourself, but you must be careful. When using the lantern to light your way, there may be dangers that are just beyond its light. You must take care not to illuminate a thorny path, or one that will not lead you to the goals you seek.

Eventually on your Hermit journey, you will at last reach The World: completion, integration, and accomplishment, of all your lessons and abilities. What exactly will come to completion remains to be seen. But the next two cards may reveal a possibility.

The power of the Seven of Wands is about challenge, competition, and perseverance. When you stand before or on top of the world near the end of your journey, the people or forces you meet there will require those things for you to reach your goal. They will stand in your way, and demand to know what you stand for. Who you are. What you truly believe, and if those beliefs are strong enough to weather The World.

Finally, the Page of Pentacles asks you to focus on turning your dreams into reality, manifest them. Develop your skills, and new opportunities will appear, financial and otherwise. You will gain any and all wealth you originally sought, and then some, plus the much greater rewards of moral and spiritual wealth.

I know this might sound like an intense path, and that could very well be. But as always, it is your choice if you want to start walking it, and you can choose to leave it at any time. But if you do pursue the above journey, it could lead to great and amazing things!

No worries about me already doing a request, either! I actually think it's a really good thing when people who have questions have access to multiple sources of guidance. It guards against tunnel vision or incorrect interpretations a little, and it also can open up new, creative paths that would have been invisible if you only got a reading from one source. It's like a multiparty dialogue, and dialogues are very often extremely valuable in discovering and reinforcing knowledge and wisdom. So I happily invite anyone who wants to to also invoke whatever powers they follow to give assistance to others! It adds to the beauty of the tapestry we make.

What we want the most right now: 17 - The Stars
-> New hopes and splendid revelations of the future, happiness and good fortune

What we fear: 19 - The Sun

What is going on: 13 - Death
-> A time of absolute endings and brand new beginnings, our lives are going through a period of great transformation

What is going against us: 9 - The Hermit
-> We are at risk of doing something hasty out of impatience and rage

Likely outcome: 2 - The High Priestess
-> Secrets, mystery, future yet unrevealed, sacred knowledge, the subconscious mind


Update for 2024

Our current outlook on life: 6 - The Lovers
-> Choice. We are faced with a major decision

What we want the most right now: 12 - The Hanged Man
-> Introspection, atonement for wrongs done, troubles slowly fading away or being recycled for a new evolved form, openness to abundance

What we fear: 17 - The Star
-> Lack of faith, hopelessness

What is going on: 10 - Wheel of Fortune
-> Change, cycles, fate, decisive moments

What is going against us: 16 - The Tower

Likely outcome: 19 - The Sun

he says it comes from “outside our galaxy” which is a really strange claim. I don’t know how you’d establish that chemically. maybe he means outside our solar system, which would make more sense, but he also says it’s 4.5 billion years old, which is about the age of our solar system and would imply it formed around the same time and originated here… so in conclusion this guy is all over the map

Oumuamua’s claim to fame is that it came from outside our solar system based on its speed and trajectory (and we can’t establish its age without a sample, so could be very well older than 4.5 billion years)

edit: I saw “Avi Loeb” and my brain jumped to Oumuamua but yeah I think the piece being shown here is just Very Old and originated in this solar system, while Loeb wants to find something that came from outside the solar system which can be determined based on chemical composition, various ratios of isotopes and so on
