Alright, buckle up, because I’m about to spill the tea on my recent tarot exploration. The title says it all: “5 of Cups Biddy Tarot.” Now, I ain’t no tarot expert, but I like to dabble and see what kinda insights I can glean. So, here’s how it went down.
First things first, I grabbed my trusty deck. It’s a Rider-Waite Smith deck, nothing fancy, just the one I’m most comfortable with. I gave it a good shuffle, you know, really mixed those cards up. I’m talking overhand shuffle, riffle shuffle, the whole shebang. Gotta make sure the cards are good and ready to speak.
Next up, I cleared my mind. Tried to, anyway. Easier said than done, right? But I focused on the “5 of Cups” card and what it generally represents: loss, regret, dwelling on the past. I figured, “Okay, universe, show me what’s up with that in my life.”
I decided to go for a simple one-card pull. Sometimes, less is more. I cut the deck, feeling for that intuition, and pulled the top card. BAM! There it was, staring right back at me: the 5 of Cups. Well, that’s direct, ain’t it?
Now, here’s where the real work began. I didn’t just look at the picture and go, “Oh, sadness, got it.” No, no. I dug deeper. I really looked at the imagery: the cloaked figure, the spilled cups, the standing cups in the background, the bridge leading to a brighter scene. What did each of those elements mean to me?
I realized I had been dwelling on a past disappointment in a creative project. I’d put a lot of effort into something, and it didn’t pan out the way I’d hoped. The spilled cups? My wasted time and energy, or so I thought. But those two standing cups in the background? That was the key. There were still opportunities, still potential, if I just lifted my head up and looked for them.
My takeaway: Stop wallowing! Yeah, it stings when things don’t go according to plan. But focusing on the “loss” was blinding me to the “gain” that was still available. It was time to dust myself off, learn from the experience, and move on.
- Action Step 1: I brainstormed new ways to approach the creative project, taking into account what I’d learned from the previous attempt.
- Action Step 2: I reached out to other creatives for feedback and collaboration. A fresh perspective never hurts!
- Action Step 3: I set a deadline for myself to start working on the project again. No more excuses!
And honestly, just going through this process, even before taking those action steps, helped me feel a lot better. Acknowledging the sadness, but then choosing to focus on the remaining possibilities, made a huge difference.
So, there you have it. My little “5 of Cups” adventure. It wasn’t some earth-shattering revelation, but it was a good reminder to not let past failures define me. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I got some creative work to do!
