Okay, so I’ve been messing around with tarot cards lately, just for fun, you know? And I found this “5 card tarot spread free” thing online, and I was like, “Why not give it a shot?”
Getting Started
First, I grabbed my deck. It’s nothing fancy, just a standard Rider-Waite deck I picked up at a bookstore. I shuffled the cards while thinking about a general question I had. I didn’t want to get too specific, just something like, “What do I need to know about my current path?”
The Layout
Then, I laid out the cards according to the 5-card spread I found. It was pretty simple:
- Card 1: The Present – Where you are now.
- Card 2: The Challenge – What’s standing in your way.
- Card 3: The Past – What past events are influencing the situation.
- Card 4: The Future – Where things are headed if nothing changes.
- Card 5: The Advice – What you should do to navigate the situation.
My Reading
I flipped over the cards one by one. I won’t bore you with all the details of each card, but I jotted down some keywords and my initial gut reactions in my notebook. I tried to connect the cards to each other, looking for a story or a message.
For example, if the “Challenge” card was something negative, but the “Advice” card was positive, I figured that meant I had the power to overcome the obstacle. If the “Future” card looked scary, I focused on the “Advice” card to see how I could steer things in a better direction.
Making Sense of It
It wasn’t like a crystal ball or anything. It’s more like… a conversation starter with myself. The cards helped me think about things from different angles. Like, “Oh, maybe that’s why I’ve been feeling stuck lately.” or “Hmm, I should probably pay more attention to that.”
I wrote down some more thoughts in my notebook, trying to connect the reading to my actual life. What actions could I take based on this? What did I need to be more aware of?
Wrapping Up
I finished my record.Honestly, it was kind of fun! It’s not like I’m going to make all my life decisions based on a tarot spread, but it was a cool way to spend an hour and do some self-reflection. I might even try it again sometime with a different question.
