Okay, so, it’s the end of the year again, and you know what that means? Time to bust out the tarot cards and see what 2024 has in store. I did a New Year’s tarot spread, and I gotta say, it was pretty enlightening. This is my first time trying this kind of thing, and let me tell you, it was a trip.
First, I set the mood. I lit some candles, put on some chill music, and tried to get my mind right. Then, I grabbed my tarot deck—the one my friend gave me last year. I shuffled those cards like my life depended on it, really focusing on the year ahead and what I wanted to know. My hands were shaking, not gonna lie.
I decided to pull 12 cards, one for each month. I laid them out in a circle, like a clock, because that seemed to make sense. The first card was for January, and I flipped it over. I don’t remember the exact names, but I remember what they symbolized. This one was all about new beginnings and fresh starts. Pretty fitting, right? It felt like the cards were telling me that January would be a good time to kick off any new projects or resolutions. It was kind of spooky how accurate it felt.
- For February, I got a card that symbolized love and relationships. Maybe a new romance is on the horizon? Or maybe it’s about deepening existing connections. Either way, I’m here for it. I scribbled down some notes in my journal about how to be more open to love in February.
- March’s card was a bit more challenging. It suggested some obstacles or setbacks. But you know what? It also showed that I’d have the strength to overcome them. I wrote a little reminder to myself to stay strong and persistent.
- As I went through the rest of the months, a picture started to form. I drew each card with anticipation, flipping them over like I was unwrapping a present. Some cards were about career and finances, others about personal growth and spirituality. I jotted down keywords and impressions for each one, trying to piece it all together.
By the time I finished, I had a whole spread laid out in front of me. I sat there for a while, just taking it all in. It wasn’t like the cards were giving me specific predictions or anything. But they were giving me insights into the energies and themes that might be at play in the coming year. I took a picture of the spread so I could remember it later.
My Thoughts
Honestly, it felt like a really powerful way to reflect on the past year and set intentions for the new one. I realized that doing this spread was more about self-reflection than fortune-telling. It was like holding up a mirror to my own hopes and fears. I closed my eyes and took a few deep breaths, feeling a sense of clarity and purpose.
I’m not saying I’m a tarot expert now or anything. But I definitely see the value in using it as a tool for self-discovery. I’m thinking of making this a yearly tradition. Maybe I’ll even get good enough to read for my friends. Who knows? Anyway, I just wanted to share my experience. It felt good to write it all down and process it. I put away my cards, blew out the candles, and felt ready to take on 2024. Bring it on!
