Okay, so I’ve been messing around with tarot cards lately, just for fun, you know? And there’s this one card that keeps popping up – the Princess of Swords. At first, I was like, “Who’s this chick?” But the more I pulled her, the more I got curious.
I started by just staring at the card, really looking at it. She’s got this intense look, holding a sword like she means business, but there’s also something kind of playful about her. I felt like she was telling me to pay attention, to be sharp, but not to take things too seriously, or maybe I was overthinking it.
Then, I did what any normal person would do – I Googled it. I found all these interpretations online, some saying she’s all about being inquisitive and speaking your mind, others saying she can be a bit of a troublemaker, stirring things up just for kicks, she was like a contradiction but not.
- Pulled the card multiple times: Kept getting the Princess of Swords, which sparked my curiosity.
- Studied the card’s imagery: Noticed her intense yet playful demeanor, the way she holds the sword.
- Researched online: Found various interpretations, from being inquisitive to being a bit of a contrarian.
After that, I started to think about how this card might relate to my own life. Was I being too passive? Did I need to speak up more? Or was I being too argumentative, just arguing for the sake of it? This card had me questioning myself, in a good way, though.
I decided to do a little experiment. Every time I felt like I had an idea, or an opinion, I would write it down. No matter how silly it seemed. I’d been holding back a lot, and I wanted to see what would happen if I just let those thoughts out, just like how I read the Princess of Swords was doing, letting out her thoughts.
And you know what? It felt good. It was like I was finally giving myself permission to think and to say what was on my mind. Some of my ideas were totally out there, but some were actually pretty solid, at least I think they were solid.
I even started sharing some of my thoughts with friends, and guess what? They didn’t laugh me out of the room. In fact, they actually engaged with what I was saying. Some even said I was pretty insightful. Go figure!
But it wasn’t all smooth sailing. There were times when I spoke up and it didn’t go so well. I might have offended someone, or maybe I just came across as annoying. But you know what? I learned from those moments too.
So What Did I Get from All of This?
The Princess of Swords, for me, is all about finding that balance. It’s about being curious and asking questions, but also being mindful of how you’re communicating. It’s about taking action on your ideas, but also being open to feedback and adjusting your approach.
This whole tarot thing, and especially this Princess of Swords card, it’s kind of become a tool for self-reflection for me. It’s not about predicting the future or anything like that. It’s more about getting in touch with myself and figuring out how I want to show up in the world. And for that, I’m pretty grateful to this little card. Well, not so little, she has big energy.
