Okay, so today I’m gonna walk you through my experience with a single card tarot reading. I’m no expert, just someone who likes messing around with tarot cards for a little bit of insight. Let’s dive right in.
Getting Started: The Deck and the Question
First things first, I grabbed my Rider-Waite deck. It’s pretty standard, easy to understand, and frankly, what I’m most familiar with. I took a moment to just shuffle the cards, you know, get my energy into them. Sounds kinda cheesy, but it helps me focus. Then, I thought about the question I wanted to ask. I decided to keep it simple: “What do I need to focus on this week?”
Shuffling and Drawing
I shuffled the deck for a good minute or two. Seriously, I just kept shuffling until it felt right – no specific number of times or anything. Then, I spread the cards out on the table, face down. Closed my eyes, took a deep breath, and hovered my hand over the cards. Eventually, one card just felt… warmer, I guess? So, I picked it. Boom.
The Card: The Tower
Okay, so I flipped the card, and it was The Tower. Now, if you know anything about tarot, The Tower can be a little scary. It’s all about sudden change, upheaval, and destruction. My initial thought was, “Oh crap, what’s about to hit me?”
Interpreting the Card
But then I took a step back and really looked at the card. Instead of focusing on the negative aspects, I tried to see it as a message. The Tower, at its core, is about breaking down old structures that no longer serve you. So, I figured maybe this week I need to focus on letting go of something that’s been holding me back. Maybe a bad habit, a limiting belief, or even a toxic relationship.
I spent some time thinking about what areas of my life felt stagnant or restrictive. It hit me that I’ve been putting off decluttering my workspace. It’s become this chaotic mess that honestly stresses me out every time I sit down to work. The Tower was probably telling me it’s time to tear that mess down and rebuild it into something more functional and peaceful.
Putting it into Action
So, the next day, I dedicated a few hours to completely overhauling my workspace. I threw out a ton of junk, reorganized my supplies, and even added a few plants to make it feel more inviting. It was a lot of work, and honestly, a bit overwhelming at first, but by the end of it, I felt so much lighter and more focused.
The Result
And you know what? The rest of the week was surprisingly productive. Without that cluttered space weighing me down, I was able to concentrate better and get more done. The Tower, in this case, wasn’t a warning of impending doom, but a nudge to shake things up and create space for something better.
Final Thoughts
That’s pretty much it. Just a simple single card reading and how I interpreted it. Tarot isn’t about predicting the future, it’s about gaining insights into your current situation and finding ways to move forward. Sometimes, all it takes is one card to point you in the right direction. Give it a try sometime, you might be surprised what you discover!
