Okay, so I’ve been messing around with Tarot cards lately, and I wanted to try out some new spreads for 2024. It’s kinda like setting intentions, but with pretty pictures, you know?
Getting Started
First, I grabbed my favorite deck. It’s this one with really cool, dreamy artwork. I shuffled the cards while thinking about what I wanted to focus on for the year. Just general vibes, nothing too specific.
The Spreads
I looked up a few different spreads online. There are, like, a million of them, but I picked two that felt right.
- The first one was a simple three-card spread: Past, Present, Future. Super basic, but sometimes that’s all you need.
- The second one was a bit more involved. It was a five-card spread shaped like a star. Each point represented something different: Goals, Challenges, Resources, Action Steps, and Outcome.
Doing the Readings
I laid out the cards for the first spread. Honestly, the cards made sense! The “Past” card was totally about letting go of old stuff, which I’ve been working on. The “Present” card was all about balance, which is, uh, something I’m still figuring out. And the “Future” card? It was pretty positive, hinting at new opportunities.
Then I moved on to the star spread. This one took a little more thinking. I jotted down some notes in my journal, trying to connect the cards to what’s actually going on in my life.
The ‘Goals’ was the easy one. the difficult part was the card that I drew for “Challenges”. It was a tough one, suggesting some inner work I needed to do. But the “Resources” card reminded me that I have good friends and family to support me.
The “Action Steps” card gave me some, then the “Outcome” card was encouraging. I interpreted a successful, but it also reminded me that it’s up to me to make it happen.
Wrapping Up
After I finished the readings, I put my cards away and sat with my thoughts for a bit. It’s not like these cards are magic or anything, But they definitely helped me think about what I want for the year and how to get there.
I plan to look back at my notes in my journal, it’s good way to see how thing is going.
I think It’s a good day to do the readings, If you’re into this kind of thing, I’d totally recommend trying it!
