Okay, so I’ve been getting into Tarot lately, and I thought it would be fun to do a deep dive into the Cancer cards. You know, really try to connect with them, understand their meanings, and see how they resonate with my own life. So, that’s what I did today!
First, I gathered my stuff. I got my favorite Rider-Waite deck, lit a little candle (gotta set the mood, right?), and poured myself a cup of herbal tea. Then, I laid out a nice cloth on my table – just a simple white one, nothing fancy.
Major Arcana Vibes
I started by focusing on the Major Arcana cards associated with Cancer. The big one, of course, is The Chariot. I spent a good while just staring at the card, you know, really taking it in. The imagery is so powerful – the charioteer, controlling those two sphinxes… it just screams about willpower, determination, and overcoming obstacles.
It made me think, overcoming obstacles is really the theme for Cancer!
I jotted down some notes in my journal about how I felt about that – times I’ve had to be strong and assertive, times I’ve had to rein in my emotions to achieve a goal. It was actually pretty revealing!
Minor Arcana Musings
Next, I moved on to the Minor Arcana. I looked at the Two, Three, and Four of Cups, and the Knight of Cups, the Queen of Cups, and finally the King of Cups. I like Cups, that means emotions!
- Two of Cups: This one’s all about partnership and connection. I thought about my closest relationships and how important it is to nurture them.
- Three of Cups: Celebration and friendship! I made a mental note to plan something fun with my friends soon.
- Four of Cups: This one was a bit trickier. It’s about contemplation and maybe feeling a bit withdrawn. I realized I’ve been doing that a bit lately, so it was a good reminder to check in with myself.
- Knight of Cups:Oh! This card is so dreamy, so emotional. It represent someone offer love! I need to do more action to get that.
- Queen of Cups:She is so kind and insightful. I want be the one.
- King of Cups:The King is about balance in the family. I need to control my temper.
I did find that the cards represent different messages.
Putting It All Together
After spending time with each card, I did a simple three-card spread for myself, focusing on a question I had about a current situation. I won’t go into the details, but it was surprisingly insightful! The cards definitely helped me see things from a different perspective.
Overall, it was a really cool experience. I feel like I have a much better understanding of the Cancer Tarot cards now, and I’m excited to keep exploring them. It’s amazing how much you can learn about yourself through these little pieces of cardboard!
