My Tarot Session: The Pregnancy Question
Okay, so I decided to sit down with my tarot deck today. The big question on my mind was the classic, slightly nerve-wracking one: “Am I pregnant?”. I wanted a straightforward yes or no, just some guidance from the cards I trust.
First things first, I needed to get centered. I went to my usual quiet corner, where I wouldn’t be disturbed. Took a few deep breaths, just to clear my head from all the other daily noise. I held the deck in my hands for a bit, really focusing on the question, trying to put that specific energy into the cards. Then, I started shuffling. I shuffle quite a bit, just doing it until it feels ‘right’, you know? No fancy techniques, just a good mix.
Pulling the Cards
I decided not to do a complex spread. For a simple yes/no, I find less is often more. My plan was to pull one card initially, and maybe a clarifier if the first one felt ambiguous.
- Card 1: I cut the deck and drew the first card. It was the Two of Swords.
- Card 2 (Clarifier): Hmm, Two of Swords. That felt very much like ‘maybe’, ‘uncertainty’, or ‘a choice to be made’. It mirrored my own feeling of not knowing, really. So, I focused again, reshuffled briefly just thinking “clarify this”, and pulled a second card. This one was The Empress.
What I Made of It
Seeing the Two of Swords first made sense. It often shows up when things are up in the air, or when you’re kind of blocking yourself from seeing the truth. It felt like the cards acknowledging the uncertainty of the situation itself.
But then, The Empress. Wow. Okay, that card is strongly associated with fertility, motherhood, creation, nurturing. It’s like the ultimate ‘mother’ card in the deck. Seeing it right after the Two of Swords felt like a strong push towards ‘yes’.
My personal take away was this: The initial feeling was uncertainty (Two of Swords), but the underlying energy, the potential, was strongly pointing towards pregnancy (The Empress). For me, putting these two together, the Empress definitely outweighed the Two of Swords. It shifted the energy from ‘maybe’ to ‘very likely’.
So, for my personal reading asking “Am I pregnant?”, the answer from my deck felt like a Yes.
Of course, this is just my experience with the cards today. Tarot offers guidance and perspective, which I find helpful. It’s how I interpreted what came up for me in that moment. Always good to remember it’s a tool for reflection.
