wil's tarot journey ✨

The reading was emotional but wholesome. The general overarching message focused on the importance of eachother as a support network and how that has affected our lives since we moved in together. How we nurture eachothers wellbeing and safety & help eachother heal and help reach new beginnings ✨

The cards drawn:

1. Four of Pentacles
2. The Hermit
3. Six of Pentacles
4. Five of Pentacles
5. Ace of Swords

We reshuffled the deck between each draw and took turns picking a random card in the deck. The spread was as follows:

Did a friendship reading for myself and my flatmate. We both let the deck absorb our energies through handling the cards and having candles and each of our own sets of crystals out. They picked the deck; the Paws Tarot deck, as they felt drawn to it.

1 (Top Left): The World
2 (Top Right) The Moon
3 (Bottom Left): Ten of Swords
4 (Bottom Right): The Lovers (Reversed)

My interpretations will remain private, but I would love to hear how others use Tarot for self-reflection!

1. What part of today's sessions do I need to sit with & process further?

2. What hidden or deeper feelings were present that I may not have fully recognized or acknowledged?

3. What self-limiting beliefs came up and how can I begin to shift them?

4. What form of self-care do I need after today?

Tarot is much more than a divination tool; I primarily use it as a self-reflective tool.

Today I used my daily reading for reflection on my therapy and counselling sessions.

After feeling trapped for years I finally feel free and happy and content. I needed to come home and understand the value I bring for this reading to make sense.

This was my first business trip in a while and I had started to question my competency in my field. This business trip proved that my insecurities and negative assumptions about my abilities are false; I finally feel released from that mindset. I know bigger and better is coming my way.

I was on a business trip and did not have time for readings. One morning I woke up and felt compelled to pull a card. The Devil reversed. It didn't resonate at the time. Now I'm back home it does.

What subconscious worries do I need to address before sleep?

Judgement

How do other learners build daily Tarot readings into their routine? I find it fairly time draining at the moment as I'm still studying the cards, but have such a deep desire to read them at certain moments but never find the time. Does anyone have tips?

For that reason, I am asking for interpretations and discussion from others - a way to engage with this reading publicly whilst respecting the dignity of privacy

Some readings can be summarised without personal or intimate details without losing its meaning; other readings, like this one, have interpretations so personal that sharing mine publicly would feel equivalent to revealing my deepest fears and secrets.

1. Where am I now?

shadow card: Page of Swords

Please share your interpretations of this reading!

I took a few days off from reading; I did not feel as compelled to seek out the cards. Today I did a three card reading for myself, and was reminded by the personal and intimate mentor-like relationship I have with my deck and the self-reflective developmental assets of Tarot

I am not a quitter; recent trauma may have made me pull back and formed a distraction away from my career goals and passions, that led to confusion. I need to take a moment to breathe, re-evaluate, reflect and make a new plan and continue trying. A trier is always one step ahead of a quitter.

🔮

the pressure you’re putting on yourself to be victorious could be the very same pressure that is creating resistance to victory.

this is resonating hard today

Thinking about how my cards told me to rest today and I didn't.... Wondering about how I can make up this betrayal to myself and my deck now....

2. Six of Wands

A reflection on my personal progress for the past year, that I should acknowledge and celebrate. It was hard, and I struggled feeling deserving of things. I deserve praise and acknowledgment for this progress, and at the least I deserve a break and to rest. Without guilt.

1. Four of Swords

I deserve to quiet my mind, to rest & to not feel guilt on rest days. My busy mind full of ideas isn't bad, but it can be draining, and I need to ensure that this busy mind doesn't take away my designated rest, whilst allowing myself to write down & revisit ideas at a later time

People who refuse to support your lows don't have the right to experience your highs with you, remember that. It may feel isolating but there are people there who will support and love you even during your lows 🖤

Card of the day: Three of Cups

Care for your friends and platonic connections like a houseplant or a garden. Care, love and support them whilst acknowledging every friendship is unique and has its individual purpose within your journey

Yeah, that's the best way of looking at it! It's self care to allow yourself to feel your feelings. and I agree it's saddening how many of us there are but I find a lot of comfort in knowing I am not alone in this. I hope you're doing okay ish today, I'm only ever a message away if you need a chat!

I have MECFS too. Remember that bottling up emotions rather than feeling them costs a lot of energy, allow yourself to acknowledge that it sucks, feel those emotions. Cry about it if you must. It always helps me find some calmness and relief

i see them!!!!
