Okay, so I’ve been messing around with Tarot cards lately, just for fun, you know? And I decided to focus on the number 4 cards in each suit. It’s kinda interesting how they all have this vibe of stability, structure, or sometimes, like, being stuck.
My Little Experiment
First, I laid out all four of the 4 cards:
- The Four of Wands: This one usually shows a celebration, like a wedding or a party under a canopy. Feels pretty good, right? Established happiness.
- The Four of Cups: This dude is sitting under a tree, looking all bored and ignoring the cups being offered to him. Classic case of feeling unfulfilled, even when good things are around.
- The Four of Swords: This one’s in a church, with a knight lying on a tomb. It’s all about rest, recovery, taking a break after a struggle.
- The Four of Pentacles: A guy hugging his coins super tight. Definitely about holding on to what you have, maybe being a bit too possessive or fearful of losing stuff.
I spent some time just looking at each card, thinking about what popped into my head. I jotted down some notes in my journal – just random thoughts, feelings, whatever came up. Things like, “When have I felt like the Four of Cups guy?” or “What am I holding onto too tightly, like the Four of Pentacles?”
Then, I tried to connect the cards to my own life. Like, the Four of Wands made me think about my family and how grateful I am for them. It’s a solid foundation, you know? The Four of Cups was a bit tougher – it made me realize I sometimes overlook the good things because I’m too focused on what’s missing.
The Four of Swords was a good reminder to actually take a break sometimes. I’m always rushing around, and this card was like, “Chill out, dude!” And the Four of Pentacles… yeah, I definitely recognized that fear of scarcity in myself. I can be a bit of a hoarder, not just with stuff, but with my time and energy too.
What I got out of it
It was a cool little exercise. It’s not like I suddenly had all the answers to life, but it gave me some things to think about. It’s like the cards helped me see patterns in my own behavior and feelings. It made me realized how easy is to get caught up with my daily strugles and the cards gave me a good perspective. Maybe I’ll try it again with the number 5 cards next week. It’s a fun way to do a little self-reflection, even if you don’t totally believe in the whole Tarot thing.
