Okay, so I’ve been messing around with Tarot cards for a while now, and I gotta say, the Devil card always throws me for a loop. It’s got all this intense imagery, you know? Chains, dark figures… it’s heavy stuff. But I wanted to see if I could use it for simple “yes” or “no” questions, just to get a feel for it. Here’s what I did:
First, I grabbed my deck and shuffled it really well. I mean, really well. I wanted to make sure the cards were good and mixed up, no lingering energy from previous readings or anything. I even did that thing where you spread them all out on the table and swirl them around with your hands. Gotta make it random, right?
Then, I held the deck in my non-dominant hand (that’s my left, ’cause I’m a righty) and focused on my question. I kept it super simple: “Will I get that freelance gig I applied for?” Nothing fancy, just a straight-up yes or no.
The Pull
I closed my eyes, took a deep breath, and pulled a single card. And guess what? It was the Devil. Seriously. My heart kinda jumped, not gonna lie. I flipped the card and just stare.
Now, here’s where it gets tricky. The Devil card isn’t usually a straight “yes” or “no” card. It’s more about being trapped, feeling restricted, or maybe dealing with some unhealthy attachments. So, I had to interpret it in the context of my question.
- If it were that I got the “yes” result, it could that mean I’m gonna get the gig, but it might come with some strings attached. Maybe the client will be super demanding, or the project will be a total headache. Like, “yes, but at what cost?” kind of vibe.
- So, with the appearance of this card, it turned out to be a strong “No”. It could also mean I’m feeling trapped in my current job situation, and that’s influencing my desire for this new gig. Like, I’m desperate for a change, even if it’s not the right one.
I sat there for a while, thinking about all the possible meanings.I finally decided. Ultimately, I took it as a “no,” but a “no” with a warning. It felt like the cards were telling me to be careful what I wish for, and to really examine my motivations. Maybe this freelance gig isn’t the answer to my problems. Maybe I need to address the underlying issues that are making me feel stuck. Or maybe I just read into the cards, and don’t get the job.
It wasn’t the clear-cut answer I was hoping for, but it was definitely thought-provoking. And that’s the thing about Tarot, right? It’s not always about getting a simple yes or no. Sometimes, it’s about digging deeper and figuring out what’s really going on beneath the surface.
