Okay, let me walk you through how I handle my Scorpio daily tarot pull. It’s become a bit of a morning habit, nothing too mystical, just my way of grounding myself.
Getting Started
First off, I usually do this right after I get my coffee going. Need that caffeine kick first. I find a spot where it’s relatively quiet, usually just my kitchen table. I grab my tarot deck – it’s an old Rider-Waite, pretty beat up, but I know it well. No fancy setup, no special cloths or anything. Just me, the deck, and my mug.
The Actual Process
I sit down and take maybe two or three deep breaths. Just try to clear my head from the morning rush or whatever emails are already pinging. I consciously think about Scorpio energy for a moment. Not in a complicated way, just that intense, transformative, maybe a little bit hidden kind of vibe. Or sometimes I just think, “Okay, what’s the general feel for Scorpios today?”
Then I start shuffling. I don’t have a set number of times or a specific technique. I just shuffle them until it feels right in my hands. Sometimes it’s quick, sometimes I shuffle for a good minute or two. It’s more about getting my energy into the cards, I guess.
Once I feel done shuffling, I usually cut the deck into three piles, left to right, using my left hand. Then I stack ’em back up in whatever order feels natural at that moment. Again, no hard rules, just going with the flow.
I pull the top card. Just one. For a daily draw, one card is plenty to think about. I flip it over right there.
Looking and Recording
So, the card’s face up. I take a good look at it. What’s the first thing I notice? The colors? The action? The feeling it gives me? I don’t immediately jump to a book or look up meanings. I just let my gut react first. What does this image say to me right now?
Sometimes, yeah, the Death card shows up. People hear Scorpio and Death card and they think doom and gloom. Honestly, I see it more like that intense Scorpio need for change. Tearing down the old to make way for something new. It’s about transformation, deep stuff. It doesn’t usually phase me much, just signals a day for potential big shifts or letting something go.
After sitting with the card’s image and my gut feeling for a minute, I grab my little notebook. It’s nothing special, just a cheap spiral-bound thing. I write down the date, the card I pulled, and maybe a couple of words about what I felt or thought. Like “Temperance – patience needed” or “Five of Swords – conflict, watch out”. Super simple.
And that’s pretty much it. The whole thing takes maybe five minutes, tops. It’s just a small ritual to start the day, helps me focus a little. Nothing more, nothing less. Just my practice.
