Alright, so today I’m gonna walk you through my little tarot card reading experiment focusing on Taurus. I’m no expert, just someone who likes messing around with this stuff, so take it with a grain of salt, okay?
First off, I pulled out my deck. It’s a pretty standard Rider-Waite-Smith deck, nothing fancy. I gave it a good shuffle – you know, the usual overhand and riffle shuffle combo. Tried to clear my head, focus on the general vibe of Taurus, like stability, groundedness, all that jazz.
Next, I decided on a simple three-card spread: past, present, and future. Classic, right? I cut the deck into three piles, then drew the top card from each.
- Card 1: Past – The Hierophant. Okay, interesting. This made me think about traditions, structures, maybe even some old-fashioned beliefs that might have shaped a Taurus’s past. Could be family values, a specific religious upbringing, or just a set of rules they always felt they had to follow.
- Card 2: Present – The Four of Pentacles. Boom. This one screams Taurus. Holding onto things, security, maybe even a bit of possessiveness. In the present, it looks like our Taurus friend is really focused on their material possessions, their job, their comfort zone. Could be a good thing, like building a stable foundation, or it could be a bit of a warning against being too rigid and resistant to change.
- Card 3: Future – The Queen of Wands. Alright, this is cool. The Queen of Wands is all about confidence, passion, and being a boss. So, in the future, it seems like this Taurus is going to step into their power, embrace their creativity, and maybe even take on a leadership role. It’s a total shift from the Four of Pentacles, suggesting they’ll loosen up a bit and take some risks.
After laying out the cards, I spent some time just looking at them, letting the images sink in. Then, I started piecing together a story. Basically, it felt like this Taurus had a past rooted in tradition, a present focused on stability and security, but a future that’s pushing them to be more outgoing, confident, and creative.
Now, here’s where my “practice” comes in. I started thinking about how this reading might relate to real-life Taurus folks I know. I thought about a friend who recently left a super stable but soul-crushing job to pursue their passion for art. The Hierophant could represent their upbringing in a conservative family, the Four of Pentacles their reluctance to leave the security of that job, and the Queen of Wands their newfound confidence and success as an artist.
Look, I know it’s not an exact science. It’s more about using the cards as a tool for reflection and gaining new perspectives. But it was a fun exercise, and it definitely got me thinking about the different facets of the Taurus personality and how they might evolve over time.
So yeah, that was my little Tarot card Taurus deep dive. Maybe I’ll try another sign soon. Let me know if you have any requests!
