Alright, so, I’ve been messing around with tarot cards lately, just for fun, you know? And there’s this one card, the Queen of Swords, that’s been popping up a lot. It’s got me thinking about how I handle things, especially tough situations. I thought I should record this journey and share it, maybe someone else will find it helpful.
First off, I pulled the Queen of Swords in a reading about my finances. Yeah, not the most exciting topic, but it’s important. The card’s got this vibe of being super sharp and clear-headed, so I figured it was telling me to take a long, hard look at my spending habits. And man, was that an eye-opener!
I started by tracking every single penny I spent. Every coffee, every online purchase, it all went into a spreadsheet. Then, I sat down and really looked at where my money was going. It wasn’t pretty. Lots of unnecessary stuff, impulse buys, you name it. I decided to cut back on the extras. No more daily lattes, fewer impulse buys, that kind of thing.
Making Decisions with Clarity
Then I got to thinking about bigger decisions, not just money stuff. I had this job offer, seemed pretty good on paper, but something felt off. I pulled the Queen of Swords again in a reading about the job. It was like a sign, telling me to use my head, not just my gut.
So, I made a list, pros and cons, like a real nerd. I asked around, talked to people in the industry, and did my homework. Turns out, the company had a bit of a shaky reputation. I ended up turning down the offer. It felt right, like I was being true to myself and not just chasing the money.
Setting Boundaries
The Queen of Swords is also big on boundaries. I realized I’m a bit of a pushover sometimes. I say yes to everything, even when I’m swamped. This card, it’s like this stern but fair lady, telling you to stand your ground.
I started small. I learned to say no to things that were draining my energy. I set aside time for myself, no interruptions. I even had a tough conversation with a friend who was always dumping their problems on me. It was hard, but I explained that I needed some space. They got it, eventually.
Communicating Directly
This card also pushed me to be more direct in how I talk to people. I’m usually all about keeping the peace, avoiding confrontation. But sometimes, that just leads to misunderstandings.
I practiced being more straightforward. When something bothered me, I spoke up, but in a calm and respectful way. I found that people actually appreciate honesty, as long as it’s delivered kindly. It’s like, you can be firm without being a jerk. Also, I learned to trust my mind. Some lessons that Queen of Swords gave me are: A lesson in believing in ourselves and our own skills, knowledge, and capabilities.
Embracing the Queen of Swords Energy
- Embrace intellectual capabilities.
- Set clear boundaries.
- Communicate effectively.
- Seek truth and reject deceit.
At first, I was worried about coming across as cold or unfeeling. But the Queen of Swords, she’s not about being cold. She’s about being fair and honest, with yourself and others. It’s about respecting your own needs and not letting emotions cloud your judgment.
It’s been a journey, working with this card’s energy. I’m still learning, still messing up sometimes. But overall, I feel more in control, more grounded. It’s like I’ve found this inner strength I didn’t know I had. I’ve also received some support from an older woman at work, and she provided me with some helpful criticism, which has been guiding me a lot. All in all, I feel like I can make the right, mature choices. And hey, if a tarot card can help me get there, why not, right?
