Okay, so today I’m gonna share my tarot card spread practice. Nothing fancy, just what I did and how it went. Let’s dive right in!
First, I decided what kind of spread I wanted to do. I was feeling kinda stuck, you know? So, I went with a simple three-card spread: Past, Present, Future. Easy peasy.
Then, I grabbed my deck. It’s a Rider-Waite deck, nothing special, just familiar. I shuffled the cards. Like, really shuffled them. Tried to get all that energy mixed up good.
After shuffling, I cut the deck into three piles, then stacked them back together however I felt like. No rules here, just going with the flow.
Now, the actual spread. I pulled the first card off the top for the “Past” position and laid it down. Did the same for “Present” and “Future,” one card for each. Simple as that.
Okay, time for the reveal! The “Past” card was the Four of Wands. I took a deep breath, trying not to let my own biases get in the way. Four of Wands… to me, it means stability, celebration, a good foundation. Made sense, I’ve been working hard on building things up lately.
Next, the “Present” card: The Tower. Uh oh. Tower moments are never fun. Usually means some kind of big change, disruption, things falling apart. I felt my stomach clench a little, but I told myself to keep an open mind.
Finally, the “Future” card: The Star. Okay, that’s a relief! The Star is all about hope, healing, inspiration. After the Tower, that’s exactly what I wanted to see. A light at the end of the tunnel.
Now, the tricky part: putting it all together. Past: stable foundation. Present: unexpected upheaval. Future: renewed hope. I spent some time thinking about it. Maybe the “Tower” moment is necessary to clear away what isn’t working so I can fully embrace the “Star” energy. Kinda like tearing down an old building to make way for something better.
Here’s the thing: I don’t treat tarot like it’s a fortune teller. It’s more like a way to look at things from a different angle, to spark some introspection. The cards aren’t telling me what will happen, but rather, highlighting energies that are present in my life.
I jotted down my thoughts in a notebook. Just a few bullet points to remind myself of the spread and what it made me think about. Things like:
- What areas of my life feel unstable right now?
- What can I do to navigate the upcoming challenges?
- How can I hold onto hope, even when things are tough?
And that’s pretty much it. Nothing earth-shattering, but it gave me some food for thought. I find that even a quick and simple tarot spread can be surprisingly helpful.
Takeaways:
- Keep it simple. You don’t need a complicated spread to get something out of it.
- Trust your intuition. What do the cards feel like to you?
- Don’t take it too seriously. It’s a tool for self-reflection, not a crystal ball.
So yeah, that’s my tarot card spread practice for today. Maybe give it a try yourself. You might be surprised what you discover!
