Okay, so, I decided to do something a little different this weekend. I’ve been feeling a bit distant from my family lately, you know? Life just gets in the way, and before you know it, you haven’t really talked to your folks or siblings in ages. So, I thought, why not try using tarot cards to see if I could get some insights on how to reconnect with them?
First off, I dusted off my old tarot deck. It’s been a while since I used it, so it felt kind of nice to hold the cards again. I spent some time just shuffling them, getting a feel for the deck, and thinking about my family. I tried to clear my mind and focus on what I wanted to achieve—better communication and stronger bonds.
Getting Started
I picked out a simple spread that I found online. It was called the “Relationship Spread,” and it seemed pretty straightforward. You basically lay out three cards: one for the past, one for the present, and one for the future of the relationship. Easy enough, right?
I laid out the cards for my mom first. The past card was the “Two of Cups,” which I guess makes sense—we’ve always had a pretty good relationship, full of love and support. The present card was the “Five of Pentacles,” which kind of stung. It’s all about hardship and feeling left out in the cold. But honestly, it resonated. We haven’t been as close lately, and I think we both feel that distance. The future card, though, was the “Ten of Cups.” That’s a hopeful one, all about happiness and fulfillment. So, maybe there’s a light at the end of the tunnel?
Diving Deeper
Then, I did readings for my dad and my sister. My dad’s reading was interesting. The “Strength” card showed up for the future, which I took as a sign that we need to be more patient and understanding with each other. My sister’s reading was a bit more complicated. There were some “Swords” cards, which usually point to conflicts and arguments. But, there was also the “Sun” card in the future position, which is super positive and suggests that things will get better.
Reflecting
- I spent the rest of the afternoon just thinking about what the cards had shown me.
- It was a lot to take in, but it also gave me some ideas on how to move forward.
- For my mom, I think I just need to make more of an effort to call her regularly and show her that I care.
- With my dad, I need to work on being more patient and trying to see things from his perspective.
- And with my sister, well, that’s going to take some work.
- Maybe a heart-to-heart talk is in order.
In the end, I guess we will know if these tarot readings help me reconnect with my family. But even if they don’t magically fix everything, I think it was a valuable exercise. It made me stop and think about my relationships, and that’s always a good thing. So, if you’re feeling a bit disconnected from your loved ones, maybe give tarot a try. You might be surprised at what you discover.
