Okay, so the other day I wanted to try something new and decided to do a “life path tarot spread.” I’ve been feeling a bit lost lately, like I’m just drifting, and I thought this might give me some direction or at least something to think about.
Getting Ready
First, I grabbed my tarot deck. It’s a pretty standard one, nothing fancy, but I like the artwork. Then, I found a quiet spot in my house where I wouldn’t be disturbed. I lit a candle, just to set a calm mood, and sat down on the floor with the deck in my hands.
Shuffling and Thinking
I started shuffling the cards, focusing on my life and what I wanted to learn. I’m not really sure how this stuff works, but I figured it couldn’t hurt to try to clear my mind and focus on the present. While shuffling, I tried to think about my past, my current situation, and what I hope for the future.
Laying Out the Cards
Once I felt like I had shuffled enough, I cut the deck into three piles and then picked the top card from each pile. These three cards were supposed to represent my past, present, and future. I laid them out in a row from left to right.
Interpreting the Spread
- Past: The first card was the “Two of Cups.” I looked it up, and it’s apparently all about partnerships and connections. This made sense because a past relationship had a big impact on who I am today. It wasn’t all bad, but it definitely shaped my current path.
- Present: The second card was the “Five of Wands.” This one is about conflict and struggle, which, yeah, that feels pretty accurate right now. I’ve been dealing with some work stress and some family stuff, so it’s like the card nailed it.
- Future: The last card was the “Ten of Pentacles.” This card is supposed to mean fulfillment and security, especially in family and finances. It was kind of a relief to see that, to be honest. It gives me a bit of hope that things will eventually settle down and get better.
My Life Path Number
After doing the spread, I remembered something about calculating a “Life Path Number.” I guess it’s a numerology thing. I added up all the digits of my birth date. So, like, if I was born on July 3, 1985, I’d add 7 + 3 + 1 + 9 + 8 + 5, which equals 33. Then I added 3 + 3, which got me to 6. So, I guess my Life Path Number is 6. I don’t know much about what that means, but I read a bit online, and it seems to suggest I value harmony and responsibility.
Reflecting on It All
After I finished the spread and calculated my number, I just sat there for a while, thinking about everything. It’s kind of interesting how the cards seemed to reflect my current situation, even if it’s all just coincidence. The Life Path Number thing was a bit of a bonus, and it was fun to learn something new.
I wouldn’t say this experience totally changed my life or anything, but it did give me some things to ponder. It made me think about the impact of past relationships, acknowledge my present struggles, and feel a bit more hopeful about the future. Plus, it was a nice way to spend an afternoon doing something different. Maybe I’ll try it again sometime when I’m feeling lost.
