Okay, so I’ve been messing around with Tarot cards lately, and I got really into this idea of “Tarot combinations.” It’s like, instead of just looking at one card, you see how two or more cards play off each other. It’s supposed to give you a deeper, more nuanced reading. So, I decided to give it a shot myself.
Getting Started
First, I cleared my space. I’m not super strict about rituals, but I do like to have a clean, quiet area. I lit a candle, not because I’m trying to be mystical, but because I like the vibe. Then, I shuffled my deck really well, thinking about a general question I had about my career path. I wasn’t looking for a specific yes/no answer, more like guidance.
The Experiment
I decided to try a simple three-card spread: past, present, and future. I laid out the cards one by one, face down, then flipped them over.
- Past: The Five of Pentacles. Kind of a bummer card, usually about hardship, feeling left out, maybe financial struggles.
- Present: The Star. This one is more hopeful, about inspiration, faith, and finding your way.
- Future: The Two of Cups. This is a card about partnerships, connections, and harmony.
Making Sense of It
Okay, so looking at them individually, I could kind of see a story. But the “combination” thing is about how they relate. So, I started thinking:
The Five of Pentacles in the past, yeah, I’ve definitely had some career setbacks. Feeling like I was on the outside, not really succeeding. That felt accurate.
The Star in the present… this resonated because I’ve been feeling a bit more optimistic lately. Like I’m finally starting to figure out what I really want to do, even if it’s a little scary.
And then the Two of Cups… This one was interesting. Alone, it’s about romantic partnerships, usally. But combined with the others, I started thinking maybe it’s not about a person, but about finding a good collaborative path. Maybe teaming up with someone, or finding a career where connection is key.
So, I jotted down my thoughts. Writing it out helped me see the flow: past struggles leading to present hope, and a future that might involve strong connections.
The Takeaway
It wasn’t like a lightning bolt of revelation, more like a “hmm, that’s interesting” kind of feeling. It got me thinking less about finding the “perfect” solo path and more about how I could combine my skills with others’. The cards are not * is the way that I combined my skills with others that I found valuble.
Honestly, I think the most valuable part was just taking the time to reflect. The cards were like prompts, forcing me to think about things in a new way. I’ll probably keep playing with combinations, just to see what else I can discover. It’s a fun little exercise, even if you’re not a super-serious Tarot person.
