Alright, so today I’m gonna walk you through my little tarot experiment: “death in love tarot”. Sounds dramatic, right? Well, let me tell you, it was!
First things first, I grabbed my deck. Nothing fancy, just my trusty Rider-Waite. I know, basic, but it works for me. Then I sat down at my kitchen table, lit a candle (for ~ambiance~), and took a few deep breaths. Gotta get in the zone, ya know?
Now, the idea behind “death in love” was simple: I wanted to explore the transformative aspects of love. Not just the fluffy, romantic stuff, but the tough stuff too. The letting go, the endings, the rebirths. Hence, “death”.
I decided on a three-card spread:
- Card 1: What needs to “die” in my approach to love?
- Card 2: What is being reborn or transforming in my love life?
- Card 3: What is the potential outcome of this transformation?
I shuffled the deck, focusing on the question, and then drew the first card. BAM! The Tower. Okay, universe, I hear you loud and clear. My interpretation? I need to let go of my rigid expectations and need for control in relationships. Ouch. Truth hurts.
Next, I drew the second card: The Sun. Woah, okay, things are looking up! This felt like a promise of joy, warmth, and a fresh start. It seemed to be saying that the “death” of my old controlling ways could lead to a much brighter, more fulfilling love life.
Finally, the third card: Ten of Cups. Okay, universe, you’re just showing off now. This card is all about happiness, harmony, and long-term fulfillment. It suggests that if I embrace the transformation, I could potentially achieve a deep, lasting connection with someone.
So, what did I do with all this info? Well, first, I wrote everything down in my journal. Gotta document the madness, right? Then, I actually started trying to put it into practice. It’s not easy letting go of control, let me tell you. I’ve been actively trying to be more open and receptive in my interactions with people. I also worked on being more vulnerable and honest about my feelings.
Has it magically transformed my love life overnight? Nah. But I do notice a difference. I feel less anxious and more present in my interactions. And honestly, that’s a win in my book.
Biggest takeaway? Tarot isn’t about predicting the future. It’s about gaining insight and using that insight to make positive changes in your life. And sometimes, that involves facing the “death” of old patterns and beliefs.
Will I do this again? For sure! Tarot is a great way to self reflect when you’re feeling stuck.
