1. Neptune Spread
-
Rebirth (#13) + Power (#4) → Neptune carries cycles of death/rebirth, but also a hidden authority. Almost like it governs what dissolves and reforms.
-
Shallow Grave: You miss someone (#29) → That sense of longing, grief, nostalgia — Neptune rules illusions, longing, dreams. This card reinforces Neptune as an oceanic memory keeper.
-
Lantern Fairy: A clear solution (#24) → Through confusion (fog), Neptune also lights ways.
-
2 of Pentacles + Hierophant (#5) → Balance between the mundane and the spiritual. Neptune feels like an active spiritual teacher — still “alive,” guiding through teachings.
✨ Neptune is showing as alive and teaching through longing, balance, and hidden light.
š Neptune’s Living Spirit — The Teacher of Dreams
Neptune moves not with fists, but with tides. Where Pluto breaks bones to heal marrow, Neptune dissolves boundaries to remind us we are more than flesh.
Rebirth (#13) and Power (#4) swirl together here: death and renewal are not endings but currents. Neptune doesn’t conquer — it governs by unseen authority, guiding what must dissolve so it can reform. Its rulership is subtle, like an undertow: unnoticed until it pulls you where you need to go.
But Neptune also aches. Shallow Grave (#29) whispers of someone missed, a presence just out of reach. This is Neptune’s gift and curse — longing, nostalgia, illusions of what once was. The ocean is full of memory, and Neptune keeps them all, washing them against our hearts like tides against stone.
Then comes Lantern Fairy (#24): A clear solution. Even in fog, Neptune carries a lantern. The dream-waters confuse, but within them is a light to follow. Neptune does not erase; it reveals gently, like moonlight on waves.
The 2 of Pentacles and Hierophant (#5) bring structure to this fluidity. Neptune doesn’t drown the seeker — it teaches balance. Spiritual wisdom is offered not from a throne but from the drift of dreams, the whisper of ancestors, the rhythm of tides. Neptune feels alive because it teaches still, guiding through longing, balance, and hidden light.
✨ Neptune’s cards sing differently than Pluto’s. Where Pluto is alchemy through conflict, Neptune is longing as initiation. Pluto burns bridges; Neptune builds bridges across oceans of memory.
Is Neptune Alive?
Yes — but alive in a way that feels like mist on skin, memory in water, dreams returning. The Queens (♠ and ♥) whisper that Neptune nurtures through vision and through shadow, always half in our world, half in another. It is not only a planet — it is a Teacher-Spirit who breathes through tides, guiding seekers through what is dissolved and reformed.
Is Neptune a Planet?
The cards show Neptune’s authority is hidden, like a lantern under waves. Unlike Pluto, it hasn’t been stripped of status — but even its planetary crown is only one mask. Neptune is as much a Memory-Keeper Spirit as a world of gas and storms. Its rulership is not of laws but of longing.
✨ Together with Pluto, Neptune completes the lesson:
-
Pluto transforms with fire and rebellion.
-
Neptune transforms with longing and vision.
Pluto tears down walls; Neptune washes them away. Both alive, both Sovereigns — one in the bone, the other in the dream.
2. Pluto Spread
-
Lunar Dragon (#18) + Imperial Dragon (#8) → Deep transformation, authority of shadow, mystery of hidden cycles.
-
Temperance (#14) → Alchemy, balance of extremes. Pluto is literally transformative alchemy.
-
Mildew Fairy (#15) → Time to clean — Pluto clears out stagnation.
-
Storm Angel (#35) → Clash of beliefs/energies — Pluto brings destruction for rebirth.
-
Grumpy Red Fairy (#8): Be true to Yourself → Pluto demands authenticity, stripping away masks.
-
5 of Wands, 9 of Pentacles, 6 of Cups → Struggle, independence, nostalgia → Pluto tests, but grants wisdom and self-mastery.
✨ Pluto feels alive, potent, alchemical, and uncompromising.
3. Is Neptune alive?
-
Q♠ + Qš → Dual queens (shadow + heart). That looks like Neptune holding dual courts — still sovereign, still “alive.”
4. Is Pluto alive?
-
Qš¶, A♠, 5š, 5š¶, 9š¶ → Yes. Pluto holds dominion (Qš¶), the Ace of Spades says it governs endings, while the 5’s show conflict and transformation. The 9š¶ shows lasting influence. Pluto is very much alive, and powerful.
5. Is Pluto a planet?
-
Kš¶, 3♠, 9š¶, 6♠, Qš¶
Kings and Queens of Diamonds → Pluto has authority in the material/cosmic sense.
3♠ and 6♠ → separation, exile, moving away → symbolic of its “demotion.”
9š¶ → Pluto’s influence persists, regardless of human labels.
✨ Spiritually: Yes, Pluto is a planet. Human science labels don’t negate its authority.
6. Why was Pluto demoted?
-
4♣, 3♠, 3š, Qš, 8♠
→ 4♣ = framework, rules.
→ 3♠ = separation, exclusion.
→ 3š + Qš = emotions + softer influence.
→ 8♠ = restriction.
✨ Pluto was demoted because of rigid frameworks (scientific rules), but also possibly because its energy is uncomfortable, shadowy, and disruptive. The emotional undercurrent (3š + Qš) suggests collective resistance to facing its deeper truths. Almost like humanity wasn’t ready to honor Pluto’s archetypal power.
Pluto’s Hidden Spirit — The Rebel in the Shadows
Pluto doesn’t play by anyone’s rules. Where Neptune drifts in dreams and rebirth, Pluto digs into the marrow of truth, demanding transformation. The Lunar Dragon (#18) and Imperial Dragon (#8) speak of power tempered with cycles, the deep feminine lunar pull meeting imperial command. Add in Temperance (#14) and we see the alchemy of Pluto — destruction and healing brewed together.
But Pluto’s other companions are trickier. Mildew Fairy (#15) reminds us that sometimes the rot has to be cleared before new growth. Storm Angel (#35) brings collision and confrontation, while the Grumpy Red Fairy (#8) urges radical authenticity: “Be true to yourself, even if it burns bridges.”
The Tarot confirms this volatile grace:
-
Five of Wands — conflict, competition, creative struggle.
-
Nine of Pentacles — mastery of self, flourishing after hardship.
-
Six of Cups — innocence, memory, soul-connections returning.
Pluto carries the paradox of life and death, struggle and beauty. Even the cartomancy hints at this with Q♦, A♠, 5♥, 5♦, 9♦ — a queen of hidden wealth, the ace of endings, paired fives (mirroring conflict and change), and yet still, abundance.
Is Pluto Alive?
The cards say yes — in a way that feels beyond ordinary life. Where Neptune’s Queens (Q♠, Q♥) suggest the nurturing and guiding presence of an active Spirit, Pluto pulses with Aces and Queens too, but also with fives — transformation through loss and fire. Pluto is alive not just as rock and ice, but as a Spirit-Force that works in the Underworld cycles of death and rebirth.
Is Pluto a Planet?
The spread (K♦, 3♠, 9♦, 6♠, Q♦) tells us that Pluto was demoted not because it wasn’t “enough” — but because it plays a role that doesn’t fit the narrow rules of science. The King and Queen of Diamonds flank Pluto with royal status; the swords remind us of cuts, rules, and separation. Pluto lost its crown in the eyes of science, but it remains Sovereign in the spiritual order.
Why Was Pluto Demoted?
(4♣, 3♠, 3♥, Q♥, 8♠) — It looks like politics as much as science. The fours and threes speak of committees, small groups, rigid frameworks. The Queen of Hearts shows Pluto’s nurturing, emotional pull was overlooked. The Eight of Swords is the trap of human limitation: Pluto was bound by definitions too small to contain it.
Pluto wasn’t truly “demoted” — it simply slipped into its natural place as an outlaw Spirit, free from human categorization.
✨ Together, Neptune and Pluto show us the twin currents of cosmic soul-work: Neptune’s dreamlike rebirth, and Pluto’s raw alchemy of destruction and truth. Both are alive, both speak, and both remain Sovereigns in their own realms.
