Alright folks, let me tell you about my little Tarot adventure today. It was all about the Lovers card, and let me tell you, it wasn’t all sunshine and roses… mostly just confusing self-reflection, haha!
So, I started this morning by shuffling my deck, you know, trying to get into the “zone”. I really wanted to do a deep dive into my relationships, romantic or otherwise. Figured the Lovers card would be a good place to start.
I decided on a simple three-card spread: Me, My relationship challenge, and Potential Outcome. Laid the cards out, and BAM! There it was, staring right back at me, the Lovers card in the “My Relationship Challenge” position. I almost choked on my coffee.
My first thought was, “Oh great, am I about to have some major drama?” But then I took a breath and really looked at the card. It’s not always about romance, right? It can be about choices, partnerships, inner harmony… stuff like that.
The first card, representing me, was the Queen of Swords. Okay, sharp, independent, maybe a little too analytical? Yeah, that sounds about right. I tend to overthink things, especially when emotions are involved.
Then, the Potential Outcome card was the Ten of Pentacles. This gave me hope! Stability, abundance, long-term happiness. It felt like the universe was saying, “You can work through this, girl!”
Here’s where the real work started. I spent a good hour just journaling about what the Lovers card meant in my life right now. Was it a choice I was avoiding? A partnership that needed work? A part of myself I was neglecting?
I realized it was a little bit of everything. I’ve been struggling to balance my work life with my personal life. Feeling torn between my ambition and my desire for connection. The Queen of Swords in me was all about the grind, while the rest of me was screaming for some downtime and meaningful relationships.
I dug deeper and thought about a few conflicts with family members lately. The Lovers card reminded me of the importance of values alignment and compromise in relationships. I probably haven’t been the best at either lately, to be honest.
I finished my journaling session feeling a bit drained but also strangely empowered. Knowing the challenge is half the battle, right? Now I know where to focus my energy.
My action plan is simple: Schedule some quality time with my loved ones. Be more mindful of my communication style. And most importantly, cut myself some slack! I can’t be a perfect Queen of Swords all the time. It’s okay to let my guard down and be vulnerable.
This Lovers card reading was a kick in the pants, for sure. It wasn’t about finding a soulmate or avoiding a breakup. It was about making conscious choices, honoring my values, and striving for harmony within myself and my relationships.
So that’s my Tarot adventure for today! Hope it inspires you to pull out your own deck and do a little soul-searching. It’s messy, it’s uncomfortable, but it’s so worth it in the end.
