Okay, so yesterday, I tried out this thing called a “single tarot card pull.” I’ve always been a little curious about tarot, but it always felt a bit complicated, you know? But I figured, pulling just one card, how hard could that be?
First, I found a quiet spot in my apartment. I lit a candle – mostly for the vibe, to be honest, but it did make the whole thing feel more special. I took a few deep breaths to clear my head. I have this deck of tarot cards I bought a while back, just because the art is beautiful. I held the deck in my hands for a minute, just kind of focusing on what I wanted to get out of this.
Then came the tricky part: the question. What did I even want to ask? I decided to keep it simple and went with, “What energy should I focus on today?” Not too specific, but not too vague either, right?
Next, I shuffled the cards. I’m no expert at shuffling, so I just did what felt natural. I kept thinking about my question while I shuffled. Once I felt like I was done, I cut the deck into three piles and then restacked them.
Finally, the moment of truth! I flipped over the top card, and it was “The Star.” Honestly, I was kinda happy. It’s a pretty positive card, all about hope, inspiration, and guidance.
I looked up the meaning of the card online since I don’t know all the card meanings yet. I read about how “The Star” suggests being open to new possibilities and trusting the universe. Sounds good to me!
I spent a few minutes just looking at the card, noticing the details in the artwork and thinking about how it related to my question. I even jotted down a few thoughts in my journal. Not like a full essay or anything, just a couple of sentences about what the card made me feel.
- Created a peaceful atmosphere.
- Formulated a clear, simple question.
- Shuffled the cards while focusing on the question.
- Pulled “The Star” card.
- Researched the card’s meaning.
- Reflected on the card’s message and journaled about it.
Honestly, the whole thing was a pretty chill experience. It was a nice way to take a little break and just focus on myself for a few minutes. I’m not sure if I’ll do it every day, but I might try it again sometime when I need a little guidance or just a moment of reflection.
