Okay, so I’ve been messing around with tarot cards lately, just for fun, you know? And today, I decided to do a simple “yes or no” reading with the Four of Swords reversed.
I shuffled my deck real good, like I always do. Then, I cut the deck into three piles and picked the middle one. I flipped over the top card, and bam, there it was – the Four of Swords, but upside down.
Now, this card, when it’s upright, it’s all about rest and taking a break. But reversed? That’s where it gets a bit tricky. Some people say it’s about not resting enough, feeling restless, you know? Others say it’s like, you’re ready to jump back into action after a break.
My Question and Interpretation
- Question: I asked a simple “yes or no” question about a project I’ve been putting off. Should I start it now?
- Initial thought: Seeing the card reversed, my gut feeling was like, “Hmm, maybe now’s not the time.” It felt like a “no” to me.
But then I thought about it some more. If the reversed card also means coming out of a resting period, maybe it was telling me to stop procrastinating and get moving! So, it could also be a “yes.”
The Whole Process
I laid out the card on my table, sat there, and just stared at it for a while. Tried to clear my head, you know, and see what vibes I was getting. It wasn’t super clear, to be honest. But that’s the thing with tarot, right? It’s not always black and white.
I grabbed my journal, the one I use for all my tarot stuff, and wrote down the question, the card I pulled, and all my thoughts about it. That helps me see things a bit clearer. I also drew a little picture of the card, which, trust me, is not a pretty sight, my drawing skills are non-existent, but it works for me.
What I Learned
This whole experience was a good reminder that tarot, especially when you’re just starting out like me, it’s more about intuition and personal interpretation than hard and fast rules. A reversed Four of Swords can mean different things depending on the situation and how you feel about it.
For my question, I still haven’t fully decided. Maybe I need to do a more elaborate spread to get a clearer answer. Or maybe, I just need to listen to my gut and make a decision myself, without relying too much on the cards. The cards can guide you, but ultimately, you’re the one in control.
