Okay, here’s my take on sharing a tarot practice experience, following your instructions:
My Tarot Mishap: Knight of Cups Reversed – A Learning Experience
Alright, so I’ve been messing around with tarot for a bit now, nothing too serious, just kinda feeling my way through it. Last week, I decided to do a reading for myself, focusing on a work thing that’s been bugging me. And boom, out pops the Knight of Cups…reversed.
Now, I’m no expert, but I knew right away that wasn’t a good sign. I remembered skimming something about the Knight of Cups reversed being a bit of a downer, like missed opportunities or emotional unavailability. So, naturally, I panicked a little. I grabbed my book and started digging.
- First thing I did was try to calm down. Deep breaths, you know? I mean, it’s just a card, right?
- Then, I actually read the damn description. It said something about delays, withdrawn offers, maybe even some bad news related to my job. Great.
I started thinking about what could be going wrong at work. I mean, everything seemed fine on the surface, but you never really know, do you? There was this one project I was hoping to get on, but I hadn’t heard anything back yet. I’d been expecting some feedback from my boss for ages, and it hadn’t arrived.
So, I took action. I decided to be proactive. I figured, even if the card was warning me about something, I could try to head it off at the pass. Here’s what I did:
- I emailed my boss, just a quick check-in about the project feedback. Didn’t want to sound pushy, just showing I was still keen and available.
- I also had a casual chat with a coworker who’s in the loop on these things. Just fished around to see if I could get any inside info.
And guess what? Turns out the feedback was delayed because my boss had been swamped. But the project I was hoping for? It was already assigned to someone else. Ouch. The card was right on the money. I wouldn’t have known if it wasn’t for the reading and my proactiveness.
Now, here’s the thing I learned: the Knight of Cups reversed isn’t just about bad news. It’s about being emotionally blocked or maybe not being clear about what you really want. In my case, I realized I was so focused on wanting this specific project that I wasn’t really thinking about the bigger picture – my career goals and what actually makes me happy at work.
So, the reversed Knight of Cups was a kick in the butt. It helped me see that I needed to adjust my expectations and be more proactive in pursuing what I truly wanted, and actually communicate it!
The takeaway? Tarot isn’t about predicting the future, it’s about getting insights into your own damn self. The Knight of Cups reversed, as sucky as it seemed at first, actually helped me course-correct and focus on what’s really important.
I’m still learning this tarot thing, but I have to say, even the “bad” cards can be useful if you’re willing to listen.
