There are three conversations almost everyone has had at least once. “I don't know whether this job is right for me.” “How is it possible to earn money and still not feel secure?” And that question which can turn an otherwise entirely reasonable person into a researcher of every full stop, comma and last-seen time: “And what exactly is this person doing in my life?”
Usually we ask a friend first. A friend knows us, loves us and often has a remarkably clear idea of what we ought to do — especially when the decision won't affect their own life. Sometimes that helps. With some questions, though, the answer depends on details that are hard to see from the outside.
That is why FatedWays has three new rooms: Gifts, Money and Love. Each starts from your concrete question — and each ends with something you hold in your hands.
What were you born strong at? How do you react to security and to risk? Why does one person earn well and still live with a sense of shortage, while another has less and feels calm? How do you love? What makes you come closer, what makes you pull away, and why does it sometimes turn out, after several different people, that you are living through almost the same story?
We already look at these repetitions in several places in the Game. In Karma we look for where the returning thing comes from. In Compatibility we see how two birth charts meet each other. In The Palm we read the lines a person carries literally on themselves.
The three new rooms carry on from there and come closer still to everyday life. To the questions that have a name, a date, a job offer, a bank statement, or a person we supposedly decided to stop thinking about last Tuesday.
There are abilities a person acquires with experience, training and enough repetitions. And there are others that seem always to have been part of them.
One walks into a tangled situation and after five minutes already sees what needs connecting to what. Another senses people. A third speaks in a way that makes people listen. A fourth has an entrepreneurial instinct and spots an opportunity where someone else sees only one more task. Someone creates, someone organises, someone heals, someone teaches, someone knows how to turn an idea into something that actually works.
The interesting part is that our own natural abilities are often precisely the ones we underrate. As soon as something comes easily to us, we assume anyone can probably do it. Then we meet a person who categorically proves otherwise.
The “Gifts” room looks for these natural strong places and sets them against the real choice in front of you. You can come in with a concrete question about work, a profession, a project, a business, an offer, or a change you are weighing up.
The reading uses the Sun, Mercury, Jupiter and Saturn in the birth chart, the life number and the destiny number from numerology, and the corresponding point in the Destiny Matrix. So the different systems work on one and the same question instead of giving separate descriptions.
If you also ask about a good moment to begin, Gifts looks at the real movement of the sky over the coming weeks. With an exact time and place of birth entered, specific days can also be calculated. Here the question “Is soon a good time?” becomes far more concrete.
You could ask, for example: “Is this job I've been offered right for me?”, “Between teaching, my own business and working with people — where do my stronger gifts lie?”, “Is this a good moment to ask for a promotion?”, “Which of my abilities am I using far less than I could?”
If you have already used Personal Astrology at FatedWays, you will feel the difference at once. In Gifts the birth chart is examined through the concrete choice you have in front of you — a job, a profession, a project or a direction you have to decide on right now.
Money is a peculiar subject, because it is numbers and feeling at the same time.
Two people can have the same sum available, and one feels calm while the other is already calculating what happens if the car, the roof and probably the world economy suddenly break down — all before the end of the month.
Our relationship with money starts long before the first salary. It is shaped by what we saw at home, by the way our parents spoke about the rich and the poor, by the periods of shortage, by whether we were taught to save, to give, to take risks, or to expect something to go wrong at any moment. Then we grow up and start calling all of it “a financial character”.
The “Money” room looks at exactly this pattern. It uses Venus, Jupiter, Saturn and Mercury in the birth chart, combines them with the numerological numbers and the Destiny Matrix, and sets the result against the question you ask.
It may turn out that earning works well for you, while accepting more is hard. That you give too easily. That every purchase for yourself leads to guilt. That security always looks one more sum away. Or that you undervalue your work and then wonder why the people around you have generously decided to agree with your estimate.
There is an important boundary here. The room doesn't promise particular profits and doesn't say what to invest in. It works with your side of money: the way you earn, receive, spend, keep, value your work and react to risk.
You could ask: “Why does money come to me and not stay?”, “Why do I feel guilty when I spend more on myself?”, “What stops me from asking for more for my work?”, “How do I get my financial confidence back after this period?”
And here we come back to the repetitions. A person repeats far more than love plots. We also repeat the way we treat money — fears, family rules, guilt at receiving more, or the belief that security is always one more sum further on. Sometimes the financial question begins well before the bank account.
About love a person can read two hundred books and still end up at two in the morning with one single question: “All right, so why is everything so complicated with this particular person?”
The reason is simple. We love with our character, with our experience, with our fears, with our wishes and with the way we learned closeness. Our ideas about love are only one part of it.
One person needs a lot of presence. Another loves strongly and wants space. A third feels safe only while constantly receiving confirmation. A fourth is drawn to unavailable people and then spends years wondering what particular talent they have for finding them.
The “Love” room starts from the way you love. It looks at Venus, Mars and the Moon in the birth chart and sets them against your concrete question. If you are asking about a particular person and you know their date of birth, the synastry between the two charts and your shared point in the Destiny Matrix are added to the reading.
So the question becomes considerably more precise than “Are we suited?”. You can see where you meet easily, where the sensitive places get triggered, what each of you brings into the relationship, and why one particular theme between you keeps coming up again.
And there is a boundary here that matters. The reading works with your side of the relationship. What you bring, what you want, how you react and what you can do. Another person's will belongs to them. The Universe has a complicated enough administration without our help.
You could ask: “Is this person part of my path, or am I repeating an old pattern?”, “Why do I attract the same kind of relationship?”, “What am I missing in this relationship?”, “Is there any sense in carrying on putting into it?”
This is exactly where Love connects very naturally with Karma and Compatibility. Karma looks for the root of the repetition, Compatibility examines the dynamic between two people, and Love takes your concrete question today and sets it on top of the way you love.
Because sometimes different people really are different. It is what we carry towards them that travels with us.
Every reading in the three rooms has five parts. The fifth is the one I most wanted to add, because it turns what you have read into a small personal ritual.
At the end you receive a sigil — an old Kabbalistic scroll, chosen according to the theme of your question. It comes with a Latin invocation, a transcription for the pronunciation and a translation, so that you know what you are saying. The sigil can be downloaded and printed.
The ritual is short. You light a candle, look at the sigil through the flame and say the invocation three times. Then you state your intention in your own words. At the end the paper is burned in the same flame.
The point isn't that a piece of paper suddenly begins to run the universe. The point is in the gesture. There is a difference between reading “I want to change my relationship with money” and saying it out loud while doing something concrete with your hands.
The body remembers actions in a different way.
The scrolls are part of a catalogue of 39 sigils — for money, love, protection, luck, the scrolls of Enoch and a few special single ones. If you have already walked the Spiral, you have surely met some of them. The same sigils also appear in the rituals of the critical fields, so Gifts, Money and Love carry on threads that have already begun elsewhere in the Game.
The three new rooms are open to everyone who is a Keeper of the Soul, as well as during the first seven free days at FatedWays.
Each separate reading costs 3.33 € and answers one concrete question.
After that the reading stays in the Book of the Soul, so you can come back to it in a few days or in a month and see what has already changed. You can also download it as Word or PDF.
The three rooms need a date of birth entered. The exact time and place of birth make the analysis more detailed, and in Gifts they are needed if you want real suitable days for a start to be calculated.
“My work” will open a very wide theme. “Should I accept the offer for this job or wait for the other possibility?” already gives a concrete direction.
“My money” is a beginning. “Why is it that every time I start earning more, my expenses suddenly jump?” already shows what you want to understand.
“My love life” could mean about half of human history since the Trojan War. “Why do I keep waiting for this person, even though our relationship isn't developing?” is already a question.
The more precisely you name what actually occupies you, the more detail can be gathered around it.
This is exactly what gradually happens with the Game of the Soul itself.
You can come in through Love and in time arrive at Karma. Start with a question about work and discover that the real theme is your own worth. Ask about money and find a family belief you have been carrying for years. Look at Compatibility with someone and then come back to your own chart.
The separate rooms look like different themes, until one day you notice that they are telling different pages of one and the same book — yours.
That is why FatedWays keeps the readings, the moves, the questions, the dreams and the answers in the Book of the Soul. In time you can go back and see connections that were not obvious at all at the moment of the separate question.
And if you already know which question brought you here, you can simply come in.
If you are only just discovering the Game, read How to play — about the moves, the 64 fields and the way the question changes along with you. And for the idea it all started from, see About the game.
Gifts looks at your natural strong places through a concrete choice about work, a profession or a project. Money examines the pattern by which you earn, accept, spend and keep. Love starts from the way you love and sets your concrete question on top of it. Each answers one question at a time.
All three rooms need a date of birth. The exact time and place make the analysis more detailed, and in Gifts they are needed if you want concrete suitable days for a start to be calculated.
Each separate reading is 3.33 € and answers one concrete question. It stays in the Book of the Soul and can be downloaded as Word or PDF. The rooms are open to Keepers of the Soul and during the first seven free days.
The Money room works with your side of money — the way you earn, receive, spend, keep, value your work and react to risk. Particular profits and investment advice stay outside it.
Yes. If you know their date of birth, the synastry between the two charts and your shared point in the Destiny Matrix are added to the reading. The reading stays focused on your side: what you bring, how you react and what you can do.
The sigil is the fifth part of every reading — an old Kabbalistic scroll on the theme of your question, with a Latin invocation, a transcription and a translation. It can be downloaded and printed. The ritual with the candle is your choice; the reading stands whole without it.
