I pulled the Charity Card today, what did you get for today?: Key themes for my day: Momentum: You have the determination and willpower needed to push past obstacles. Control: Use a steady hand. Success today comes from balancing your emotions with logic and taking the reins of a situation. Action: It is a great time to move forward with plans you’ve been contemplating, provided you stay highly focused. How to apply this energy today: Set Clear Intentions: Know exactly what you want to achieve, as scattered energy will only slow you down. Stay in the Driver's Seat: Take command of any tasks or projects that need a final push.
Inspired by everyone’s readings recently, I decided to do one for me too! It was scarily accurate 😳😳 Picture one represents my near past, no 2 the present and no 3 the near future. Here’s the summary: Today has a “shift from reflection into flow” energy. You’re moving out of a period of uncertainty or waiting and into one where events start aligning more naturally. The strongest message here is: stay observant and emotionally grounded while things begin moving again. A good question to carry through the day: “What opportunity appears once I stop trying to control every outcome?”
When NOT to read your tarot! Reading when you're not ready can lead to ill-advised sneakiness & wishful thinking… 1. In an Emotional Crisis You’re really upset about a recent breakup. Understandable! You may want to see what the cards have to say about it, or whether there’s a change you will get back together. But now is not the time. When emotions run high it is easy to miss the message of the cards. 2. When You Want a Certain Outcome To continue with the scenario above, say you want to read cards and are hoping they will tell you you’ll get back together with your ex. In fact, you want this so much that when you do a reading, you only see what you want. There’s a three of swords in the outcome position? Well, that’s not so convincing. Why not draw another card? The two of cups? That’s more like it! We’re definitely getting back together. 3. When You’re Impatient There’s a reason the stereotypical image of the tarot involves a solitary fortuneteller in a dark room with candles and incense. Tarot doesn’t do well when rushed. Throwing down cards in a hurry won't get you any closer to enlightenment. 4. When Your Judgement is Clouded Also known as don’t get a reading when you’re drunk. Simple, yes, but often ignored, as I can tell you from my time reading tarot at a bar.
Did you know that Tarot cards originated in 15th-century Italy not for divination, but as a luxury, trick-taking game called tarocchini played by aristocrats?!
