Okay, so a friend asked me to do a tarot reading for them the other day. I’ve done readings for myself before, but never for someone else. It was a bit nerve-wracking, but also kinda cool. Here’s how it went down:
Getting Ready
First, I made sure we were both in a chill space. We lit some candles, not because we’re super spiritual, but because it just felt right and cozy. I had my friend shuffle the deck while thinking about their question. They didn’t tell me the question, which I think is important, it helped me be unbiased. While they shuffled, I just tried to clear my head and be open to whatever the cards wanted to show.
The Spread
I went with a simple three-card spread – past, present, and future. It seemed like a good starting point, you know? Not too complicated. My friend cut the deck, and I laid out the three cards face down.
Reading the Cards
This is where it got interesting. I flipped over the first card – the past. I looked at the image, and just started talking about what I saw and what feelings it gave me. I didn’t try to be all mystical or anything, just honest. I talked about the symbols, the colors, and how it might relate to their past experiences.
Then we moved on to the present card. Same thing. I described what I saw, and we talked about how it might connect to what’s going on in their life right now. It’s amazing how much you can pick up just by looking at the pictures and letting your intuition flow.
Finally, the future card. This one felt a little trickier. I emphasized that it’s not set in stone, just a possible outcome based on the current energy. Again, I just shared my impressions and encouraged my friend to think about how it might play out.
Wrapping Up
After we went through all the cards, we just chatted about the overall message. I made sure to remind my friend that they have the power to shape their own future. The cards are just a guide, not a prophecy, it offered insights. We talked about some practical steps they could take based on the reading.
I then put my tarot cards away.
Honestly, the whole experience was pretty rewarding. It wasn’t about predicting the future, it felt more like a guided conversation, a way to help my friend gain some clarity and perspective. Would I do it again? Definitely. It’s a cool way to connect with someone and help them explore their own thoughts and feelings.
