Okay, so I decided to do a quick tarot reading focusing on Cancer energy today. Just felt the pull, you know? Nothing major planned, just wanted to see what the cards had to say.
How I Did It
First things first, I grabbed my usual deck. It’s kinda worn, feels comfortable in my hands. Didn’t do any big ritual or anything. Just sat at my table, cleared my head for a second.
Then I started shuffling. Gave them a really good mix, overhand shuffle mostly. While I was doing that, I just kinda focused my thoughts on Cancer – the nurturing vibes, the emotional side, all that stuff. Kept shuffling ’til it felt right.
I decided to keep it simple. A three-card spread works best for these quick daily checks, I find. So, I went with a simple Past – Present – Future layout. Easy to read, gets straight to the point.
Pulling the Cards
Once I felt the shuffling was done, I cut the deck into three piles, then put it back together in a different order. Just habit, really. Then I drew the top three cards and laid them out in a row, face down.
Here’s what came up when I turned them over:
- Past: The Four of Cups
- Present: Strength
- Future: Page of Wands
So, yeah. That was the lineup for Cancer today.
My Quick Thoughts
Looking at them laid out, my immediate feeling was a sort of progression. The Four of Cups often feels like a bit of boredom or missed opportunity in the past. Strength showing up in the present? That felt pretty significant – like finding inner resolve or handling things with grace right now. And the Page of Wands for the future… that usually points to some new spark, maybe exploring a creative idea or setting off on a small adventure.
It’s not a super deep dive interpretation right away, more like a first impression. I find it’s good to just sit with that initial gut feeling for a bit.
I wrote the cards down in my journal, just the names and a couple of words about that first reaction. Helps me track patterns or just remember what came up later. Sometimes it makes more sense looking back after a day or two.
And that was basically it. Put the cards back, session done. Just a straightforward check-in using my tarot deck for Cancer’s energy today.
