Okay, so today I decided to mess around with tarot cards, specifically the 6 of Spades. I’ve always been curious about tarot, but never really did anything with it, you know? So, I figured, why not start with one card and see what happens.
Getting Started
First, I grabbed my deck. It’s a pretty standard Rider-Waite deck I picked up a while back. I shuffled the cards, just kind of feeling the energy, I guess. I’m not sure if I believe in all that, but it felt right. I spread the cards out face down on my table.
Drawing the Card
I took a deep breath and focused on a general question: “What do I need to know today?” It wasn’t anything specific, just a general vibe check. Then, I drew a card. And yep, it was the 6 of Spades.
Initial Reactions
Honestly, my first thought was, “Uh oh.” I vaguely remembered that Spades aren’t usually the happiest suit. I looked at the card: a figure in a boat, being ferried across water, six swords stuck in the boat. Kinda gloomy, right?
Digging Deeper
I grabbed my phone and did a quick search for “6 of Spades tarot meaning.” I found a bunch of different interpretations, but some common themes started to pop up:
- Transition: Moving from a difficult situation to a calmer one.
- Carrying baggage: The swords represent burdens or past issues.
- Necessary journey: Even if it’s tough, it’s a move in the right direction.
- Mental problem or thinking too much.
Making it Personal
So, how did this apply to me? Well, I’ve definitely been feeling a bit stuck lately, like I’m in a rut. I could be over thinking stuff. The idea of a “necessary journey” resonated. Maybe I need to make some changes, even if they’re uncomfortable. The “carrying baggage” part also hit home. I tend to hold onto things, old worries and anxieties. The imagery felt that the act of moving forward may not be what I think, but a necessity.
My Takeaway
I’m not saying I’m suddenly a tarot expert, but this little exercise was actually pretty helpful. It gave me a different perspective on things. I’m still processing it all, but I think the 6 of Spades was telling me to let go of some of my baggage and embrace the change, and don’t over think. It’s not going to be easy, but it’s necessary. And maybe, just maybe, there’s smoother water ahead. We will find out!
