Heavenly Bodies Astrology deck i was won

The Heavenly Bodies Astrology deck (Lily Ashwell, CICO Books, 2021) is an oracle-style astrology deck, not a standard 78-card tarot — 51 cards plus a 144-page guidebook. People generally use it in three ways:

1. Learn astrology. The deck is organized into six categories that mirror how astrology is actually taught:

• The Planets (Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, plus Earth)
• The Signs of the Zodiac (Aries → Pisces)
• The Houses (1st → 12th)
• The Major Aspects (Conjunction, Sextile, Square, Trine, Opposition)
• The Natural Zodiac (Yin, Yang, Cardinal, Fixed, Mutable, plus the elements)
• The Nodes of Destiny

Each card carries keywords and an "omen" — a short overriding message. To learn, the guidebook walks you from a single planet (e.g. Jupiter) to that planet in a sign (Jupiter in Aries) to that combination in a house (Jupiter in Aries in the 7th). That layering is the deck's main teaching method.

2. Decode a birth chart. Lay out cards to visualize placements in your own chart — e.g. Moon, Aries, 1st House pulled together to represent Moon in Aries in the 1st. People who don't read astrology natively use this as a visual aid for placements they want to sit with.

3. Use it as an oracle. The guidebook suggests three spreads:

• One-card daily — pull a card in the morning, sit with its omen all day.
• Three-card "soul spread" — what you are learning / how you are learning it / where the wisdom takes you.
• Four-card "third eye spread" — a deeper layout for one question.

A practical tip from regular users: frame your question as *"What is…"* (What is the best way to approach this job change?) rather than yes/no (Should I apply next week?). It opens the cards up to richer messages.

If your goal is the daily-oracle side, the guidebook has blank pages at the back for notes — most owners treat it as part of the deck rather than an extra.

If you also want to try a pull right now with a standard RWS tarot (the script this skill ships), say the word and I'll draw one for the question you're actually sitting with.
