Okay, let’s talk about how I did the Cancer tarot reading for June 2023. It was a pretty standard process for me, something I try to do regularly.
Setting Things Up
First off, I needed to get into the right headspace. June was coming up, and I felt like checking in on the energy for Cancer folks. I went to my usual quiet corner. Didn’t do anything too fancy, just made sure the space felt clear. Sometimes I light a candle, sometimes not, this time I think I just took a few deep breaths and mentally shut out the noise from the day. The key thing was just setting the intention: this reading is for Cancer sun, moon, and rising signs for June 2023.
The Deck and Shuffling
I reached for my go-to deck, the classic Rider-Waite. It’s just comfortable, like old jeans, you know? I trust it. I held the deck for a minute, just connecting with it and reinforcing that intention for Cancer energy for the month ahead.
Then, I started shuffling. I shuffle quite a bit, probably longer than most people. I do a mix of overhand shuffles and riffle shuffles. While I was shuffling, I kept thinking about June, the general feeling, potential challenges, potential blessings for Cancer signs. Just letting the energy sink into the cards. When it felt ‘done’, I cut the deck into three piles and then reassembled them in a different order. Just a habit I have.
Pulling the Cards
For a monthly outlook, I usually stick to something simple but informative. This time I decided on a three-card spread. Nothing complicated:
- Card 1: The general theme or energy for the start of the month.
- Card 2: What to focus on or the challenge during the middle of the month.
- Card 3: The likely outcome or energy towards the end of the month.
I fanned the cards out face down and drew three cards from left to right, placing them in position.
Interpreting What Showed Up
Okay, here’s what came out. First card, representing the start of June, was the Knight of Cups. My first thought was emotional news or offers, maybe someone coming into the picture, or just generally feeling more romantic or intuitive. A softer, more feeling-based energy to kick things off.
The second card, for the middle of the month focus, was The Hermit. Big shift in energy! This felt like a clear signal to pull back a bit. Maybe needing some alone time, introspection, or seeking wisdom from within. A time for reflection rather than action, possibly feeling a bit withdrawn or needing space to figure things out.
The third card, for the end of the month, was the Six of Wands. Alright, a positive lift! This felt like success, recognition, being acknowledged for efforts. Like coming out of that Hermit phase with some kind of win or public validation. Feeling good, feeling proud.
Putting It All Together
So, stringing those together for Cancer in June 2023… it looked like a month starting with emotional connections or creative sparks (Knight of Cups), then moving into a necessary period of introspection and seeking inner guidance (The Hermit), and finally culminating in some well-deserved recognition or success (Six of Wands). The journey seemed to be about balancing inner emotional worlds with the need for quiet reflection, leading to eventual outer achievement.
Wrapping Up
After interpreting the cards, I spent a few minutes just looking at them together, letting the overall story sink in. I jotted down the cards pulled and my quick interpretations in my tarot journal. It’s important for me to keep a record, helps me learn and see patterns over time. Felt like a pretty coherent message for the month. It wasn’t about specific events, more about the flow of energy Cancers might experience. And that was basically it – the process for getting the June 2023 Cancer reading done.
