Purple Star Astrology Oracle Divination Ritual

A reading turns one full cycle of the twelve palaces to find the star standing over your question. What follows is what steadies the hand before a draw. None of it is required. All of it helps.

Before You Begin

Three steps for energy preparation before each reading.

1
A quiet room
A quiet, airy place, and incense or a candle if you keep them.
A quiet, airy place, and a little incense or a lit candle if you keep them. The point of it is that nothing in the room is asking for your attention.
2
The question, named
The question, put plainly — including which of the twelve palaces it belongs to.
The deck sits in both hands. Eyes closed, breath slow, and the question put as plainly as it can be put — including which of the twelve palaces it belongs to. That choice is half the reading.
3
Twelve shuffles
Twelve passes, one for each palace. Twelve shuffles is one full turn of a life.
The cards go through your hands at least twelve times, one turn for each palace of a chart. Twelve shuffles is one full turn of a life. Past twelve, they keep going until the mind is quiet and the urge to stop arrives on its own.

Jumping Card

If during shuffling one or several cards fall out on their own (jumping cards), pick them up — that is a powerful message the stars are sending straight to you.
