Man, I’ve always been super curious about how Tarot cards work, especially when it comes to relationships. So, I figured, why not give it a shot myself? I got a deck and decided to dive into some readings. Here’s how it all went down.
Getting Started
First off, I found a quiet spot in my house. You know, somewhere I could really concentrate without being disturbed. I lit a few candles, put on some chill music, and got my Tarot deck out. I took a few deep breaths to clear my mind, just trying to get into the right headspace.
Shuffling the Cards
Next, I shuffled the cards while thinking about the specific relationship questions I had. I wasn’t really sure who to ask about at first, so I just focused on general vibes. I shuffled for a good while, until it felt right to stop. It’s kinda weird, but you just get a feeling when it’s time.
The Spread
I decided to start with a simple three-card spread. This is supposed to represent the past, present, and future of the relationship. I laid the cards out in a row, facedown, and then one by one, I flipped them over.
- First Card (Past): This card was supposed to give me insights into what happened before. It showed a couple of figures, which I interpreted as representing a past connection, maybe a friendship that turned into something more.
- Second Card (Present): This one was interesting. It depicted a figure holding a bunch of swords, which I took to mean there were some conflicts or tough decisions to make right now.
- Third Card (Future): This card showed a calm, serene scene, which I hoped meant that things would eventually work out, and there would be peace and resolution.
Diving Deeper
After the three-card spread, I felt like I was getting the hang of it, so I went for a more complex spread – the Celtic Cross. This one has ten cards, and it’s a doozy. It covers a lot more ground, like what challenges you might face and what external factors could influence the situation.
Reflecting on the Reading
Once I finished laying out all the cards and taking notes, I spent some time just looking at them, thinking about how they connected to my real life. It’s pretty trippy how the symbols and images can spark different thoughts and feelings. I journaled about my interpretations, trying to make sense of what the cards might be telling me.
Asking Specific Questions
I also tried asking more specific questions, like, “What should I focus on to improve my relationship?” or “What are the potential obstacles I might face?” For each question, I did a new spread. Sometimes I’d use the whole deck, other times I’d just pull a single card for a quick answer. It all depended on my mood and how deep I wanted to go.
Sharing with Friends
This is where it got really fun. I started doing readings for my friends, too. They were skeptical at first, but once we got into it, they found it super interesting. It’s cool to see how different people react to the cards and how it can open up conversations about relationships that we might not have had otherwise.
Final Thoughts
Doing these Tarot readings has been a wild ride. It’s not just about predicting the future or whatever. For me, it’s been more about reflection and gaining new perspectives on my relationships. It’s like a mirror that shows you things you might not have noticed before. Plus, it’s a great way to connect with friends on a deeper level. If you’re curious, I’d say give it a shot. You might be surprised at what you discover!
