My Aquarius Tarot Session Log
Alright, so today I decided to really sit down and explore the Aquarius energy using my tarot cards. Been feeling that vibe lately, you know? That mix of wanting to think about the future but also feeling a bit disconnected maybe. So, I thought, let’s see what the cards have to say about it.
First thing, I grabbed my go-to deck. It’s worn in, feels comfortable in my hands. Found a clear space on my table, didn’t do anything too fancy, just pushed some stuff aside. I like to keep it simple.
I started shuffling. Did it for quite a while, just letting the cards mix. While I was doing that, I tried to really focus my thoughts on Aquarius traits. Things like:
- Innovation: That forward-thinking, sometimes unconventional approach.
- Humanitarianism: The focus on the collective, the bigger picture.
- Detachment: That ability to see things logically, sometimes maybe a bit too emotionally distant.
- Rebellion: Shaking things up, not always sticking to the rules.
Just held those ideas loosely in my mind, letting the shuffling happen. Didn’t force it. When it felt right, I stopped.
Decided on a simple three-card pull. Past influence, current situation, future potential – standard stuff, but focused through that Aquarian lens.
So, I drew the cards. Here’s what popped up:
- Card 1 (Past Influence): The Star
- Card 2 (Current Situation): Knight of Swords
- Card 3 (Future Potential): Five of Cups
Okay, seeing The Star first? Made immediate sense. That’s often linked directly with Aquarius. Hope, inspiration, celestial guidance – felt very fitting as a foundational energy.
Then the Knight of Swords for the present. Hmm. This one made me pause. Knights are action, Swords are thoughts, intellect. So, fast-moving ideas? Or maybe that Aquarian tendency to charge ahead with an idea, sometimes without thinking through the emotional impact? It felt a bit jarring, honestly. Sharp energy.
And the Five of Cups for the future potential? That was the real head-scratcher. Usually, this card is about loss, regret, focusing on what’s spilled. How does that fit with the forward-looking Aquarius? I sat with that for a bit.
Putting it Together (My Take)
My first thought was maybe the Knight’s potentially rash mental energy (Current) could lead to disappointment or focusing on perceived failures (Future – Five of Cups), even if the initial hope (Past – The Star) was strong. Like, maybe the Aquarian ideals crash against reality, leading to focusing on what went wrong instead of the two cups still standing in the Five of Cups card.
It could also be a warning, right? Don’t let the intellectual detachment (Knight of Swords aspect) lead you to ignore the emotional consequences (Five of Cups), blinding you to the remaining potential (the standing cups).
So, I didn’t get a super clear “rah rah Aquarius” reading. It felt more nuanced. It showed the hopeful side with The Star, but also the potential pitfalls – the sharp, fast thought maybe leading to overlooking important emotional bits, resulting in a feeling of loss or regret.
I wrote it all down in my journal. Didn’t try to force a happy ending onto the Five of Cups. Just noted the flow: Hope -> Intense Mental Action -> Potential for Focusing on Loss. It’s a reminder, I guess. Even with big ideas and a focus on the future, you gotta watch where you’re stepping and what you might be knocking over.
Yeah, an interesting session. Definitely gave me something to think about regarding how that Aquarian energy manifests in practice, not just in theory. It wasn’t what I expected, but that’s tarot for you.
