Okay, so I decided to try out this “free ten card tarot reading” thing today. I’ve always been a little curious about tarot, but never really dove in. Figured, why not? It’s free!
First, I found a website that offered the reading. I just did some searching online and found a site to do it. I have used a different deck before.
Next up, the virtual shuffle. Gotta mix those cards up, even if it’s just digital! I clicked the button, and the website did its thing, showing some animation of cards flying around. Feeling a little silly, but hey, I’m committed now.
Then came the card selection. Ten cards, face down. The website prompted me to click on each one, revealing it. Here’s what I got, and what the site said about each one (I’m paraphrasing here, my memory’s not that good):
- Card 1: The Past – The Lovers (reversed). Apparently, this means some past relationship disharmony or bad choices. Okay, yeah, I can see that.
- Card 2: The Present – The Chariot. This one’s about willpower and overcoming obstacles. Feeling pretty accurate right now, actually.
- Card 3: Hidden Influences – Five of Cups. Grief, loss, focusing on the negative. Hmm, gotta work on that.
- Card 4: Obstacles – Seven of Swords (reversed). The site said this could mean self-deception or getting caught in lies. Yikes.
- Card 5: External Influences – The Empress. Nurturing, abundance, creativity. Maybe a mother figure or a strong feminine influence.
- Card 6: Hopes and Fears – Ten of Wands (reversed). Feeling burdened, overwhelmed, and maybe avoiding responsibility. Ouch, that hits home.
- Card 7: My Attitude – King of Pentacles. Practical, grounded, good with finances. I wish!
- Card 8: What to Consider – Three of Swords. Heartbreak, sorrow, emotional pain. Not loving this card.
- Card 9: Overall Advice – Knight of Cups. Following your heart, romantic pursuits, creativity. Interesting…
- Card 10: Likely Outcome – Ace of Swords. New beginnings, breakthroughs, mental clarity. Okay, ending on a high note!
My Thoughts
So, after getting all ten cards, I sat back and really thought about them. Some of it felt surprisingly relevant. Like, the Ten of Wands (reversed) about feeling burdened? Totally. And the Chariot about overcoming obstacles? Definitely working on that.
Others felt a bit…off. The King of Pentacles? I’m notoriously bad with money. And the Three of Swords? While I’ve had my share of emotional pain, it’s not the dominant thing in my life right now.
I spent some time journaling about the reading, trying to connect the cards to what’s going on in my life. The website offered some interpretations, but I also looked up some other meanings online, just to get a broader perspective. It was kind of like a puzzle, trying to figure out how it all fit together.
In the end, did it give me some earth-shattering revelation? Not really. But it did get me thinking. It prompted me to reflect on my current situation, my challenges, and my goals. And honestly, that’s pretty valuable in itself. It’s like a little nudge to be more mindful and intentional. Will I do it again? Maybe. It was a fun little experiment, and who knows, maybe next time the cards will have even more to say.
