Okay, so I wanted to try out this “lotus tarot reading yes or no” thing I saw online. It seemed pretty straightforward, and I was curious to see if it worked.
First, I grabbed my tarot deck. It’s a pretty standard Rider-Waite deck that I’ve had for a while. I gave the cards a good shuffle, you know, to get my energy into them and all that. While I was shuffling, I focused on the question I wanted to ask. It was a simple yes or no question, nothing too complicated.
Once I felt like the cards were shuffled enough, I laid them out in the lotus spread pattern. Now, I’m not a pro at tarot, so I had to quickly look up a picture of the spread online. Basically, you lay out seven cards in a lotus flower shape, with one card in the center and six cards around it like petals.
Laying Out The Cards
- The center card is supposed to represent the heart of the matter.
- The other six cards give more context and details.
Here’s how I placed the cards:
- Card 1 (Center): The heart of the matter.
- Card 2 (Top): What’s helping the situation.
- Card 3 (Right): What’s hindering the situation.
- Card 4 (Bottom): The past influences.
- Card 5 (Left): The present influences.
- Card 6 (Top Left): The future influences.
- Card 7 (Bottom Right): The overall outcome.
After laying out the cards, I flipped them over one by one. I took my time with each card, looking at the image and thinking about what it might mean in relation to my question. I even jotted down some notes in my journal, just quick impressions and keywords.
The center card was the most important one for the yes or no answer. If it was an upright card, it generally indicated a “yes.” If it was reversed, it leaned towards a “no.” But I also looked at the surrounding cards to see if they supported or contradicted the center card’s message. It’s like getting a second opinion, you know?
Honestly, the whole process was pretty relaxing. It was kind of like meditating, just focusing on my question and the cards. I didn’t get a super clear-cut answer, it was more of a “maybe, leaning towards yes” kind of situation. But that’s okay. Sometimes life is complicated, right?
In the end, I felt like I got some useful insights, even if it wasn’t a definitive yes or no. I put the cards away, cleaned up my little tarot reading space, and went on with my day. It was a fun little experiment, and I’ll probably try it again sometime. Maybe next time I’ll have a more straightforward question…or maybe the cards will be more decisive. Who knows!
