Okay, so today I decided to sit down and actually do a single tarot card pull, something I find really grounding sometimes.
Getting Started
First things first, I needed some quiet. Found my usual spot, cleared off the table a bit. Grabbed my go-to tarot deck – it’s pretty worn now, which I kinda like. Feels familiar, you know?
I didn’t have a super specific question in mind today. Sometimes I do, but today felt more like a ‘what energy should I focus on?’ kind of vibe. So, I just held the deck for a minute, took a few deep breaths, trying to clear my head of all the usual clutter.
Shuffling and Drawing
Then, I started shuffling. I don’t have a fancy technique, just a regular shuffle, mixing them up until it felt right. You just kinda know when to stop, or at least I pretend I do. I cut the deck into three piles, just because that’s how I always do it, then stacked them back together.
With my sort-of question about ‘today’s energy’ in mind, I fanned out the cards face down. Closed my eyes for a second, just ran my hand over them, and picked the one that felt… I don’t know, slightly different? Maybe warmer? Pulled it out.
The Card and My Thoughts
Turned it over. Okay, it was the Page of Cups. My first reaction? A little smile. This card usually feels gentle to me, kinda creative and emotional, but in a young, exploratory way.
I just looked at the picture for a while. The person holding the cup, the little fish popping out – it always makes me think about unexpected feelings or messages bubbling up. It felt kinda fitting for a day where I wasn’t sure what to expect.
So, what did I take from it? For me, today, it felt like a nudge to be open to small, maybe unexpected emotional things. Like, don’t dismiss a gut feeling, or maybe pay attention if a new idea pops up, even if it seems a bit silly or out of the blue. It also felt like a reminder to be a bit more… emotionally available? Not shutting things down too quickly.
Wrapping Up
That was pretty much it. I didn’t dive super deep into complex meanings. Just took the card’s general vibe and the image that stuck out to me and applied it to my ‘what’s the energy for today’ intention.
- Keep it simple: A single card is less overwhelming than a big spread.
- Trust the gut feeling: What pops into your head first when you see the card is often useful.
- Make it personal: It’s about what the card means to you today, not just the book definition.
So yeah, that was my practice for today. Just a simple draw, a moment of reflection. It’s a nice little ritual, helps me check in with myself. Done for now, put the card back, and ready to get on with the day.
