Okay, so the other day I was feeling a bit lost about this whole dating thing. You know, wondering where things are headed, what the other person is thinking, all that jazz. So, I thought, why not bust out my tarot cards and see if they could shed some light? I’ve been messing with tarot for a while now, but relationship spreads were still kinda new territory for me.
First things first, I needed to pick a spread. I didn’t want anything too complicated, just something to give me a general sense of the situation. After digging around a bit, I found a few that looked promising.
Simple Three-Card Spread
This one’s a classic. I decided to give it a shot as a warm-up.
- Card 1: Me in the relationship
- Card 2: The other person in the relationship
- Card 3: The relationship itself
I shuffled my deck, focusing on my question, and then laid out the cards. The cards that showed up were interesting. Nothing scary or super negative, just a gentle reminder of the dynamics in the relationship. I did it and then, I was feeling that’s pretty good.
Cross-Shaped Five-Card Spread
This one felt a bit more in-depth, so I figured I’d give it a go too.
- Card 1: The present situation
- Card 2: The challenge or obstacle
- Card 3: The past influences
- Card 4: The future potential
- Card 5: The overall advice or outcome.
This reading was definitely more revealing. I shuffled cards and pull them out, then It gave me some things to think about, especially the “challenge” card. It highlighted a communication issue that I kinda knew was there, but hadn’t really faced head-on.
What I Did Next
After pulling the cards, I didn’t just go, “Oh, okay, cool.” I actually sat down and journaled about each card. Like, what did the imagery make me think of? What feelings did it bring up? How did it relate to my actual situation?
For example, if I pulled the “Lovers” card, I wouldn’t just think “Oh, romance!” I’d consider if it represented harmony, choices, or maybe even conflicting desires within the relationship. I tried to make it really personal, you know?
It took some time, really sitting with the cards and my feelings. It wasn’t about getting a definitive “yes” or “no” answer, but more about understanding the underlying energies and potential outcomes.
So, yeah, that’s how my tarot experiment went. I found it to be a pretty awesome tool for self-reflection and getting a different perspective on things. It’s not about predicting the future with 100% accuracy, but more about gaining clarity and understanding myself, and also my relationships better. I’m thinking I’ll definitely be using tarot spreads for relationship questions more often!
