Okay, so I’ve been diving deep into Tarot lately, and today I wanted to really focus on setting intentions using The Empress card. I’ve been feeling a little stuck creatively, and I thought, why not try using the cards to help me get some clarity?
My Little Empress Experiment
First, I grabbed my favorite deck and shuffled it while thinking about what I wanted to create. I wasn’t super specific, more like, “I want to feel more inspired and productive.” I’m not really the kind of people have very clear target or career plan, so I prefer things goes naturally, just follow my heart.
Then, I pulled The Empress. I already knew a little bit about this card – it’s all about abundance, nurturing, and creation, you know? It felt like a good sign.
Digging a Little Deeper
Instead of just going, “Cool, I’m gonna be creative now!”, I decided to spend some time really thinking about what The Empress means to me. What did the card make me feel? What kind of actions could embody that?
- Nurturing: I realized I’ve been pushing myself too hard. So, I made a plan to take more breaks, get outside more, and generally be kinder to myself. This card told me, you have to take care yourself so that you will get more.
- Abundance: This isn’t just about money (though that’s nice too!). It’s about feeling like I have enough – enough time, enough energy, enough ideas. I brainstormed ways to make my workspace feel more abundant and inspiring, with plants and things I love.
- Creation: I committed to spending at least 30 minutes a day just making something, anything, without worrying about whether it’s “good” or not. Just letting the creative energy flow.
Putting It Into Practice
I spent the rest of the day actually doing some of these things. I took a walk in the park, bought a cute little succulent for my desk, and doodled in my sketchbook for a while. I cooked some delicious food for my families.
It wasn’t like magic – I didn’t suddenly write a masterpiece or anything. But I definitely felt a shift. I felt more grounded, more connected to my intuition, and more open to possibilities. It was like The Empress gave me permission to slow down and enjoy the process of creating, instead of stressing about the outcome.
I’m going to keep working with this card’s energy for the next few days and see where it takes me. It’s all about experimenting and finding what works, right? I just want to make everyday counts and enjoy every second of it.
