Okay, so I’ve been feeling a little lost lately, like I’m wandering around without a map, you know? So I thought, “Why not try a Tarot spread to see if I can get some clarity?” I decided to go with the “Am I on the Right Path?” spread because, well, that’s the big question, right?
Getting Started
First, I grabbed my favorite Tarot deck. I’ve had this one for years, and it always feels good in my hands. I shuffled the cards while focusing on my question: “Am I on the right path?” I really tried to clear my mind and just be present with the cards.
The Spread
This spread uses six cards. After I felt ready, I cut the deck and laid out the cards face down in the following positions:
- Card 1: Where am I now?
- Card 2: Where do I want to be?
- Card 3: What’s holding me back?
- Card 4: What’s helping me move forward?
- Card 5: What do I need to focus on?
- Card 6: Am I on the right path? (The big reveal!)
My Reading
Okay, so here’s what I pulled:
- Card 1 (Where am I now?): The Five of Pentacles. Ouch. This card often shows feeling left out in the cold, struggling, or lacking resources. Pretty much sums up how I’ve been feeling!
- Card 2 (Where do I want to be?): The Sun. Wow, okay. This is a card of joy, success, and positivity. It’s pretty much the opposite of the Five of Pentacles, so it shows a big shift is what I crave.
- Card 3 (What’s holding me back?): The Tower. This card is about sudden change and upheaval. For me, it made me think about my fear of shaking things up. I tend to stick with what’s comfortable, even if it’s not making me happy.
- Card 4 (What’s helping me move forward?): The Chariot. This card represents willpower, determination, and taking control. This felt encouraging, like a reminder that I have the strength to make changes.
- Card 5 (What do I need to focus on?): The Queen of Swords. This Queen is all about clear thinking, setting boundaries, and speaking your truth. It felt like a nudge to get really honest with myself about what I want and need.
- Card 6 (Am I on the right path?): The Three of Cups. Hmm, this one is interesting. It’s about celebration, friendship, and community. It’s not a straight “yes” or “no,” but it felt like it was saying, “You’re on the right path if you connect with others and find joy in the journey.”
My Takeaway
After sitting with the cards for a while, I started to feel a shift. The reading didn’t magically solve all my problems, of course. But it did help me see things more clearly. It was like the cards were saying, “You’re feeling lost because you’re afraid of change, but you have the strength to move forward. Focus on being honest with yourself and connecting with others, and you’ll find your way.”
So, that’s where I’m at. I’m still not 100% sure about everything, but I feel a little less lost and a little more hopeful. I’m going to keep these cards in mind and try to focus on those messages. Maybe I’ll do another reading in a few weeks to see how things are progressing. Wish me luck!
