New Moon in Scorpio Spread
Thank you to everyone who came out last night to my first Tarot Meetup! It was really inspiring to meet other people who are also practicing tarot. We had a lot of fun doing this spread and talking about our unique perspectives on cards that were pulled. I highly suggest the spread below if you’re looking for some answers to what might need to be revealed and transmuted in your life right now. This doesn’t have to be done on a new moon, remember there are no real rules to any of this - PLAY - HAVE FUN!
Tarot Is a Reflection Tool, Not a Prediction Tool: Yes & No Reading Method
Don’t give your power away to anything, including Tarot. Tarot is a powerful tool to help us navigate life, but it should be noted that it’s not a prediction tool, it’s a reflection tool. And whatever Tarot reflects back to you is meant for you to pause and listen to, whether that’s taking the advice it’s giving you or simply challenging the version of yourself it’s reflecting back to you.
Listening to Your Intuition
Dear Friend,
I want to share a fun exercise I like to do with Tarot. This is especially fun to do if you’ve just bought a new deck or if you’re new to Tarot completely.
Take out your deck and turn it face up, so you can see all the images on the cards. Now I want you to take a few seconds looking at each card, face up. Don’t take too long analyzing the card or trying to get any messages, I just want you to look at the image and instinctually put the card in one of 2 piles.
Pile 1 will be cards that you’re just discarding.
Pile 2 will be cards that “spoke” to you, something on the card just resonated and interested you.
Where To Start With Tarot
Dear Friend,
I really want to break the narrative that Tarot is some magical, witchy, shit. Tarot is just a tool to help you learn how to start listening to your own intuition. You don’t need to memorize all the card meanings or be super spiritual to start using Tarot in a way that can benefit your life.
Don’t buy into any fear you’re feeling about Tarot. Fear is a false narrative, one we’ve all been conditioned to believe because it keeps us out of touch with ourselves. True power and resilience comes from within, it comes from showing up everyday even when our lives are a mess and the world is crumbling around us.
The Love You’re Longing For Is Within
Dear Friend,
I’ve been longing my whole life for love. To find the kind of love that will hold me no matter what I do, no matter what I say, no matter who I become. The thing is, when we want love like that we have to be open to the truth it carries. We have to be open to the lessons our hearts teach us over and over again. I have a feeling that this lesson is universal for a lot of people. The lesson is that love you’re longing for actually just comes from within. It comes from radical acceptance of who you are right now and knowing innately that you’re trying your best with the cards you were given.
