Okay, so today I wanted to dive back into my tarot practice. It’s been a while, and I felt like focusing on the “Tarot Pentacles 2” card. I’ve been feeling a bit…juggler-y lately, so it felt appropriate.
Getting Started
First things first, I cleared my space. I mean, literally. I wiped down my table, lit some incense (sandalwood, my favorite!), and shooed the cat out of the room. He loves to “help,” but mostly that means batting at the cards.
Then, I grabbed my trusty deck – the good ol’ Rider-Waite. It’s worn and a little beat-up, but it feels like an old friend.
The Deep Dive
I shuffled the deck, really trying to focus on my current situation. You know, that feeling of having a million things up in the air? Work deadlines, family stuff, trying to keep up with hobbies…it’s a lot.
I cut the deck and there it was: the Two of Pentacles. Right on top.
My Interpretation
I spent a good while just looking at the card. The guy juggling those pentacles, the infinity symbol… It just screamed “balance” (or the struggle for it, anyway!). The ships in the background made me think about navigating rough waters.
- Juggling: Yep, that’s me right now. Trying to keep everything going.
- Infinity Symbol: This felt like a reminder that things are always changing, always flowing. It’s a constant cycle.
- Ships: I thought for me, I need handle the difficult times, and not get overwhelmed.
Making it Real
After staring at the card forever.
I wrote down some thoughts in my journal. Just free-writing, really. What resonated with me, what I felt the card was trying to tell me. And this is the end of tarot practice for today.
It wasn’t some huge, earth-shattering revelation, but it was a good reminder to stay flexible and adapt. And maybe, just maybe, to not take on quite so much at once. Even this little bit of practice and meditation can give me a new view of my life. Baby steps, right?
