Okay, so, I’ve been seeing a lot of people doing these tarot card readings online, and I thought, “Why not give it a shot?” I mean, I’m not really a believer in all that fortune-telling stuff, but it seemed like a fun experiment. Plus, I was curious to see what all the fuss was about. So, I decided to document my little adventure into the world of tarot.
First things first, I had to figure out what I wanted to ask. I’ve heard it’s better to ask open-ended questions rather than simple yes/no ones. Something like, “What should I focus on to improve my career?” seemed like a good starting point. It’s broad enough to give me some direction, but not so specific that it boxes me in.
Next, I needed to figure out how to do this online. Now, I know these online things aren’t exactly known for being super accurate, but hey, it’s all in good fun, right? I did a quick search and found a bunch of sites offering free readings. Most of them had similar setups: you type in your question, and they generate a reading for you. But I found one called “*”. It looks like a good AI tool.
Choose a Spread
I read that I need to choose a spread. I had no idea what that meant, so I did some more digging. Turns out, a spread is just the way you lay out the cards, and each position in the spread represents a different aspect of your question. Like, one card might represent the past, another the present, and another the future. Or, they could represent different factors influencing your situation. I decided to go with a simple three-card spread: past, present, and future.
Shuffle and Draw
Now, I picked one that looked pretty straightforward. I typed in my question, “What should I focus on to improve my career?” Then, I virtually shuffled the deck. I guess I just clicked a button. Time to draw my cards. I “drew” three cards from the virtual deck: The first card is Ace of Swords. The second card is Two of Pentacles. The third card is Three of Wands.
Interpret the Cards
- Ace of Swords (Past): Apparently, this card, when upright, means a breakthrough or a new perspective. So, maybe in the past, I had some sort of realization or a new idea that set me on my current path. That actually kind of makes sense, considering I switched careers a few years ago.
- Two of Pentacles (Present): This card upright typically means balance and adaptability, but also being too busy. Okay, yeah, that’s me right now, juggling a bunch of different projects and trying to keep all the balls in the air. It’s a bit chaotic, to be honest.
- Three of Wands (Future): When upright, this card means foresight and expansion. Maybe it means that all this hard work I’m doing now is going to pay off in the future? Or maybe it’s telling me to keep looking ahead and exploring new opportunities.
Reflect on the Reading
So, what did I make of all this? Honestly, it was kind of interesting. The cards did seem to resonate with my current situation, at least in a general way. I mean, I am pretty busy, and I am hoping that things will expand and get better in the future. Was it a magical revelation? Nah. But did it give me something to think about? Yeah, I guess it did. I mean, it is kind of true that I need to stay focused and keep my eyes on the horizon.
Will I become a tarot fanatic? Probably not. But I can see why people find it intriguing. It’s like a little self-reflection exercise, a way to look at your life from a different angle. And who knows, maybe there’s something to it. Or maybe it’s just a fun way to pass the time. Either way, it was a worthwhile experience. At least now I can say I’ve tried it, and I’ve got a story to tell.
