Okay, so today I’m gonna spill the tea on my latest tarot experiment: the “yes or no” reading with the Moon card. Buckle up, it’s a bit of a weird one.
It all started last week. I was tossing and turning, couldn’t sleep, you know how it is. My brain was stuck on this one question – should I finally ask for that raise? – and I was driving myself crazy going back and forth.
I figured, why not pull a card? Normally, I do more elaborate spreads, but at 3 AM, I needed something quick and dirty. A simple “yes or no” reading seemed perfect. I shuffled my deck, focusing on my question, and bam – I pulled the Moon.
Now, the Moon tarot card is, let’s just say, not exactly known for its crystal-clear answers. It’s all about intuition, hidden things, illusions, and the subconscious. Definitely not a straightforward “yes” or “no” kinda vibe.
My first reaction was, “Seriously? The Moon? You’re kidding me, right?” But then I took a deep breath and decided to dig a little deeper. I mean, the cards are just tools, right? It’s how you interpret them.
So, here’s how I broke it down. The Moon often represents uncertainty and things being unclear. It’s like you’re walking in the dark, not quite sure where you’re going. This made me think that maybe now wasn’t the right time to ask for the raise. Maybe I needed more clarity on my own value and contributions before I went in there.
Also, the Moon can symbolize fear and anxiety. Was I holding back because I was genuinely unsure, or was I just scared of rejection? I had to be honest with myself. There was a part of me that was terrified of hearing “no.”
To get a clearer picture, I decided to pull two more cards as clarifying cards. I asked, “What do I need to understand about this situation?” and “What action should I take?”
I pulled the Four of Pentacles and the Eight of Wands. The Four of Pentacles, to me, suggested I was being too attached to my current situation. I was afraid to rock the boat. The Eight of Wands pointed to swift action and communication. It felt like the message was, “Once you have clarity, don’t hesitate. Speak up.”
So, putting it all together, the Moon with those two clarifying cards told me this: slow down, get clear on your value, address your fears, and THEN, when you’re ready, go for it confidently and quickly.
I didn’t ask for the raise right away. Instead, I spent the next few days documenting all my accomplishments at work, talking to my mentor about my concerns, and really getting my ducks in a row. I made sure I could articulate exactly why I deserved the raise.
And guess what? I finally asked for it this week, and I got it! I don’t know if it was the tarot or just the extra preparation, but I’m glad I took the time to listen to what the cards were trying to tell me, even when the message wasn’t super obvious.
My takeaway from this experience? Don’t dismiss a card just because it doesn’t give you a simple answer. Sometimes the most confusing cards hold the most valuable insights. And always, always, always use your intuition!
- The Moon: Represents uncertainty, intuition, and hidden things.
- Clarifying Cards: Essential for getting a more complete picture.
- Action: Tarot is a guide, not a fortune teller. You still gotta put in the work!
Hope this helps someone else trying to navigate the murky waters of tarot readings! Until next time!
