Okay, so yesterday I had this idea to do a little tarot reading for myself, specifically about reconciliation. I’ve been going through a rough patch with someone close to me, and I was hoping for some clarity or guidance. I’m not a pro at this, but I thought, why not give it a shot?
First, I grabbed my tarot deck. It’s a pretty standard Rider-Waite deck that I picked up a while back. I find the imagery on these cards super interesting, even if I don’t always know exactly what they mean.
I started by shuffling the cards while focusing on my situation. I tried to clear my mind and really concentrate on the person and the issues we’ve been having. It’s harder than it sounds, my mind kept wandering to all sorts of things.
After shuffling for a while, I cut the deck into three piles and then put them back together. I’m not sure if this is the “right” way to do it, but it’s how I’ve seen it done. Then, I laid out the cards in a simple three-card spread. I figured this would give me a past, present, and future perspective on the situation.
My Card Spread
- Past: The first card I drew was the Two of Swords. It shows a blindfolded person holding two swords, which I interpret as representing a difficult decision or a stalemate in the past. Made sense, given our recent conflict.
- Present: The next card was the Ten of Wands. This one shows a figure carrying a heavy load of wands. I took this to mean that I’m currently feeling burdened and overwhelmed by the situation, which is pretty accurate.
- Future: Finally, I got the Ace of Cups. This card is all about new beginnings, emotional fulfillment, and love. It seemed like a really positive sign for potential reconciliation.
I spent some time just looking at the cards and thinking about what they might mean. I even googled a few things to get a better understanding. Some interpretations online resonated with me, others not so much. It’s all pretty subjective, right?
In the end, I felt a bit more hopeful. The Ace of Cups, in particular, gave me a sense that things might work out. Of course, it’s not a guarantee, but it was a nice reminder to stay positive and open to the possibility of mending things.
This whole tarot thing is more about reflection and introspection for me. It’s not about predicting the future with 100% accuracy. It’s a tool to help me think things through and maybe see things from a different perspective. It was an interesting little experiment, and I think I’ll try it again sometime.
