Okay, so, the other day I was messing around with my tarot deck, just kinda playing around with the cards, you know? I was thinking about this thing I’ve been working on, a project that’s been a real pain, and I wasn’t sure if I should keep pushing or just throw in the towel.
So, I shuffled the deck, focused on my question – “Should I give up on this project?” – and pulled a card. It was the Seven of Wands, but reversed. Now, I’m no tarot expert, but I’ve been dabbling for a while, and I know the Seven of Wands is usually about standing your ground, fighting for what you believe in. But reversed? That’s a whole different story.
I grabbed my little guidebook and started flipping through it, trying to make sense of it all. It talked about feeling overwhelmed, losing faith, and basically, just wanting to give up. And yeah, that’s exactly how I was feeling! It was like the card was reading my mind.
- Asked the question: I was super clear about what I wanted to know. No vague stuff.
- Pulled the card: Seven of Wands, reversed. Bummer.
- Read up on it: Guidebook, some websites, you name it. I wanted to understand all the angles.
- Thought about my situation: How did the card’s meaning relate to my project? Was I really ready to give up?
- Made a decision: Based on the card and some serious soul-searching, I decided what to do next.
Here’s what I did:
And in that moment, I realized that the reversed Seven of Wands wasn’t necessarily telling me to quit. It was more like a wake-up call. It was saying, “Hey, you’re burned out, you’re losing your way, and maybe it’s time to rethink your approach.” It felt kinda comforting, like the cards were telling me it was okay to feel this way.
So, I took a step back. I looked at my project with fresh eyes and saw where I was going wrong. I was trying to do everything at once, getting bogged down in the details, and losing sight of the bigger picture. The reversed Seven of Wands helped me see that I needed to take a break, recharge, and come back to it later with a new perspective. And you know what? It actually helped. I still don’t know exactly how this project will turn out, but at least I didn’t just toss it in the trash. Tarot is weird, man, but sometimes it really hits the nail on the head. I might make it with this project or maybe not, still not giving up, though.
