Okay, so I wanted to share something I tried out recently. Been thinking a lot about the whole ‘love’ thing, you know? Had my tarot deck sitting around, the one I’ve had for ages, barely used it properly. Decided to pull a card, just focusing on relationship stuff, see what came up.
Getting Started
Didn’t make a big deal out of it. Just sat down at my desk, cleared some space. Picked up the deck, gave it a few good shuffles. Wasn’t trying to be mystical or anything, just mixing them up properly. While shuffling, I was just thinking, ‘Okay, what’s the deal with my love life right now? What should I maybe focus on?’ Simple as that.
Pulling The Card
Cut the deck, drew one card from the top. Flipped it over. It was The Magician. Honestly, my first thought was, ‘Huh? Magic tricks? What’s this supposed to mean for dating?’ Seemed a bit random.
But I sat with it for a minute. Looked at the picture – the guy with all the tools on the table, pointing up and down. I started thinking less about actual magic and more about, like, having the ‘tools’ or the ‘resources’ right in front of you. And maybe the pointing thing was about connecting ideas with reality? Making stuff happen?
Figuring It Out (My Way)
So, I figured, okay, maybe this Magician card, in a love context, wasn’t about waiting for magic. Maybe it was telling me to be the ‘magician’. Like, stop waiting around for things to happen or for someone else to make the first move or for the ‘perfect’ moment. It felt like the card was saying:
- You’ve got what you need already.
- You need to actually use what you’ve got.
- Take initiative. Manifest, or whatever you want to call it – basically, do something.
It made sense in a practical way. I realised I’d been pretty passive, waiting for signals, overthinking interactions. The Magician seemed like a kick in the pants to, well, take action. Use my words, use my charm (whatever little I have!), use my brain to actually create an opportunity instead of just wishing for one.
What Happened Next
So, based on that feeling, I did something I wouldn’t normally do. There was someone I was interested in, but I was playing it cool, waiting for them. After pulling the Magician, I thought, ‘Screw it’. I actually messaged them and suggested doing something specific, something I wanted to do. No beating around the bush. Just put the idea out there.
It wasn’t instantly ‘magical’, no instant perfect date materialized. But, the response was positive! They were surprised but seemed keen. We actually made a plan. Whether it leads anywhere long-term, who knows? But the point is, I stopped waiting and did something, just like the card seemed to suggest. It shifted the dynamic from passive waiting to active participation. Felt less helpless, more in control, even if it was just about sending one message.
Final Thoughts
Look, I’m not saying the card magically changed my love life. But pulling The Magician at that moment, and thinking about it in that practical, ‘use your tools’ kind of way, definitely gave me the push I needed. It made me look at my own actions, or lack thereof. It was a good reminder that sometimes, you just gotta stop thinking and start doing. Make your own ‘magic’, I guess. Simple as that, really. Just wanted to share the experience.
