Alright, so today I’m spilling the tea on my tarot practice, specifically diving into a spread focused on “Ace of Wands Love.” I’m not a pro, just a gal sharing what I’ve learned along the way.
It all started when I was feeling a bit blah about my love life (or lack thereof). You know, the usual doom-scrolling and wondering if I’d ever find my person. I’d been reading about the Ace of Wands popping up as a sign of new beginnings and creative energy, and it got me thinking, “Hey, maybe I can use this to kickstart something in the romance department.”
First, I grabbed my tarot deck. It’s a Rider-Waite Smith deck, nothing fancy, but it’s what I’m most comfortable with. I sat down at my kitchen table, lit a candle (for ambiance, obvi), and took a few deep breaths to clear my head. I like to think of it as setting the vibe before asking the universe for answers.
Then, I decided on a simple three-card spread:
- Card 1: What am I ready to embrace in love?
- Card 2: What’s holding me back?
- Card 3: What action can I take to ignite the flame?
Easy peasy, right?
I shuffled the deck, focusing on my intention – wanting clarity about my love life. I cut the deck into three piles and then reassembled it. Time to draw some cards!
Here’s what I pulled:
Card 1: What am I ready to embrace in love? – The Sun
Okay, this was a good sign! The Sun is all about joy, optimism, and success. I took it as a sign that I was ready to embrace a more positive and fulfilling relationship, one filled with happiness and good vibes.
Card 2: What’s holding me back? – Four of Swords (Reversed)
Uh oh. The Four of Swords is usually about rest and contemplation, but reversed, it can indicate restlessness and a refusal to take the time to heal. For me, this hit hard. I realized I was jumping into dating apps without really dealing with past heartbreaks. Ouch.
Card 3: What action can I take to ignite the flame? – Knight of Cups
Alright, the Knight of Cups is all about romance, creativity, and following your heart. The message I got was to be more open to expressing my feelings and to pursue romantic interests in a genuine and heartfelt way. Think grand gestures, but also just being more vulnerable and authentic.
So, what did I do with all this info?
Well, first, I acknowledged that the Four of Swords (Reversed) was spot on. I decided to take a break from dating apps and focus on self-care. I started journaling, meditating, and generally trying to be kinder to myself. It’s a work in progress, but I’m getting there.
As for the Knight of Cups, I’m challenging myself to be more open and expressive. I’m saying “yes” to opportunities that align with my passions, even if they seem a little scary. I even started writing poetry again, which I haven’t done in years! It feels good to connect with my creative side and put myself out there.
This “Ace of Wands Love” spread wasn’t some magical solution, but it gave me some valuable insights. It helped me identify what I need to work on and encouraged me to take action. Tarot, for me, is a tool for self-reflection and empowerment, and this little experiment definitely helped me feel more hopeful about the future of my love life.
That’s my story! Hope it helps you in some way. Remember, tarot is a personal journey, so explore and see what resonates with you!
