Okay, here’s my attempt at a blog post based on your guidelines.
Diving into Numerology Tarot: My Hands-On Experience
So, I got this bug up my butt to try numerology tarot. I’ve always been a bit of a dabbler in anything that smacks of the mystical, and this seemed like a cool blend of two things I kinda know about. I mean, I know enough about tarot to shuffle a deck and look wise, and I can add numbers together, so I figured, why not?
First thing I did was jump online and started googling like crazy. I wanted to get a handle on how the whole thing works – like, how do you even COMBINE numbers and tarot? Turns out, it’s all about finding the numerical value of a tarot card and then seeing how that number jives with its traditional meaning. Makes sense, right?
Next, I grabbed my Rider-Waite deck – the one everyone and their grandma seems to have. I laid out the Major Arcana (because, let’s be honest, that seemed like the least intimidating place to start). I then started assigning numbers. The Fool is usually zero, and then you just go up from there: The Magician is 1, The High Priestess is 2, and so on.
This is where I started getting a little more hands-on. I decided to do a super simple one-card reading for myself, focusing on my current work situation. I shuffled the Major Arcana, pulled a card (The Tower, naturally – thanks, universe!), and saw that it corresponded to the number 16.
Okay, The Tower is already a pretty intense card. But then I started thinking about the number 16. In numerology, you can reduce it to a single digit by adding the digits together: 1 + 6 = 7. Seven! Now, I know enough about numerology to know 7 is often linked to introspection and spiritual searching.
So, The Tower (16/7) for my work situation? That felt…accurate. Like, yeah, things are probably gonna crumble a bit (The Tower!), but it’s all pushing me towards some kind of inner growth and figuring out what I REALLY want from my career.
After that first reading, I was hooked. I started experimenting with different spreads, like the Celtic Cross, but always factoring in the numerical value of each card. It added a whole new layer of meaning to the readings.
One thing I quickly realized is that you can’t just blindly apply numerological meanings to the cards. It’s more about using the numbers as a lens to understand the card’s message in a deeper way. It’s a subtle difference, but it makes a huge impact.
Honestly, it’s been a blast! Has every reading been spot-on perfect? Nah, of course not. But it’s been a fun way to connect with my tarot deck in a new way and to kinda flex my intuitive muscles. I’m definitely gonna keep playing around with this numerology tarot thing.
