Hi Kare! Thanks for your patience.
I have chosen the Tarot of the Hidden Realm to represent the influence nature currently has over us, then added in the Starchild Akashic deck to represent the 'ideal' we are all navigating towards in the circumstances. It has a cool air that seems rather suited to education issues. So a mix of earth and air, roots and transcendence. Due to all this chaos and crossing over, I've used the Starseed spread for the Hidden Realm Tarot, and vice versa, to provide an ordered sense of weaving-in and resolution.Feedback is appreciated but not necessary, I'm still learning so criticism is great too!
I've added a short summary to the first section too.
Part 1-(with Starseed Tarot) All-Round Advice Spread
1. (Courts) - Which aspect of you is most present and reacting. (OPPRESSION REVERSED) - Distracted by unrelated influences
2 (Majors) The lesson that is woven into the situation (KING OF CRYSTALS) - Plan finances wisely, practise self-discipline and look for honest advice.
3 (Wands) Something you can do to help the situation (FIVE OF WANDS) - Listen to others, but don't be steamrollered. Be responsible for your own decisions.
4. (Swords) Something you can say or communicate to help the situation (TWO OF SWORDS) - Balance other factors in your life to make you a more stable decision-maker, and to open your mind to opportunities. Then start to move.
5 (Cups) A feeling to encourage or express to help the situation (SEVEN OF CUPS) - Write down a list of what you want, current and future resources.
6 (Pentacles) Something you can create or give to help the situation (SIX OF CRYSTALS) - Value bonds, look for new opportunities, and use the situation to grow.

Two crystal suits, here, interesting given the money issues. The court card invites you to look at anything which is currently unhealthy and hampering your own efforts. It might be a person, an item, or a temptation. Clearing this out will help you make better decisions. Try to use the situation to your advantage by using the time to help yourself into a better state.
The lesson here is a mix of money management and methodical, practical reasoning. You will need self discipline to carry it onwards and good attention to detail, but it is encouraging. Try to look for someone pragmatic and impartial who you trust for ideas and advice.
One problem you may be encountering is someone whose opinion clashes with yours. Listen, but value your own judgement. Sometimes we have to go ahead with our own decisions in order to progress. If you feel you've stumbled as a result, get up and keep going.
The crossroads you're at may require balancing other unrelated factors in your life to be more stable. Acknowledge all your barriers, without fear, which is hampering your decision-making. Be aware things may not be as they initially seem, so try to be open-minded. Once you have made a choice you can begin to progress and will be more confident.
Don't worry about indulging your dreams or desires - what do you want? It's really important to acknowledge that. What skills do you have to bring to the situation? Are there other ways you could plan the money issues, what feels right to you, and will be healthiest for you? What situation would you ideally like for schooling?
Look for new opportunities actively, value your bonds, and you will grow and feel more balanced in this situation. There also may be new opportunities you hadn't considered yet.
Part 2- (With Hidden Realm Tarot) Starseed Spread
1. External forces or underlying situation XVII THE MOON - A puzzle to untangle, and need to centre yourself. Look at your conscious and unconscious wishes and see if they match.
2. The first step EIGHT OF CUPS - Focus and channel your intuition and begin to move. Look at your resources and stay fluid.
3. How to sustain yourself TWO OF CUPS - Something or someone you love will support you, and the spaces between are vital to to grow and adapt.
4. What you need to learn ACE OF SWORDS - Look at what you want, observe the patterns around you, and use it to strike accurately.
5. The outcome FOUR OF SWORDS - Trouble will lift- stay calm and keep stable, and only act when it seems right. As a result of keeping an open mind, you may see new opportunities.
Everything is fluctuating and unsure, and you have a puzzle to untangle. Many things are competing for attention, like wild animals- try not to worry about them. Try to visualise the truth in the centre and tune out interference. Don't just be reliant on your mind. You need to work from a stable point, so be true to your own self and values and what feels right to you. You know where you sit right now, even if you don't know anything else. There is a lack of black-and white concrete fact now, only shades of grey under the moon. At the moment, a lot of us are making compromises and you might feel you are struggling with a lack of information. Try using this to your advantage, as it will reduce the options you need to choose from. Look at both conscious and unconscious wishes to help with resolution. What do you want to do about the schooling situation, vs what do you think you *ought* to do?
As you take the first step, the moon is still casting a light on you (look at the necklace!). It helps you to channel your intuition into a focused light, and start progressing along a pathway. It's easy to feel stuck now, in lockdown, but everything in nature changes, including yourself- try to use this fact to guide you. Water is fluid in nature; look at what makes you restless and what you feel needs to change for a clue.
You have a love you can sustain yourself with, whether a person or a different passion, even if you aren't physically near the spaces between can help you. You are joined organically, like clinging vines in nature, and constantly changing and adapting both to each other and the environment.
Imagine yourself as a creature diving for a fish. You need to first determine where you want to be before you can plan how to get there, and look at how the fish is moving- what kind of patterns they are showing. Map out your environment. Your curiosity will show you an opportunity if you are still.
Whatever happens, the trouble will lift and you will flourish again. This sense of stability links with the number four, of equal support in all areas. The cocoon you are currently in will hatch in time and manifest. There is no rush to act prematurely. Try keeping still and calm and open to opportunities and it will be easier to approach the problem.
