Today, I tried something new and it was kind of a flop, but I’m still glad I did it. I’ve been messing around with tarot cards lately, just for fun, and I thought, why not try to get a simple yes or no answer from them? I picked the Five of Pentacles because I saw somewhere online that it’s good for that.
So, here’s what happened. I shuffled the deck, thinking about my question really hard. I won’t bore you with the details of the question, but let’s just say it was something I was really hoping would be a “yes.” I laid out the cards like I saw in a video, and there it was, the Five of Pentacles, staring back at me.
My Tarot Reading Process
- Ask a clear question: I made sure my question was super simple, something that could be answered with a straight-up yes or no.
- Shuffle and focus: I shuffled the cards a bunch of times while thinking about my question. I tried to clear my head of everything else.
- Draw a card: I cut the deck and drew the top card. That was the Five of Pentacles.
- Interpretation time: From what I read, this card usually means “no” or at least suggests some tough times ahead. So, not exactly the answer I was looking for.
Now, I’m no tarot expert, but from what I gathered, this card isn’t exactly a party. It’s got pictures of people out in the cold, looking all sad and broke. I read online that it usually means “no” or points to some hard times. So, bummer, right? But here’s the thing, I also read that this card can be a nudge to learn from your mistakes and that it reminds you that every failure is a lesson learned.
I tried to look on the bright side, you know? Maybe this “no” is a good thing. It got me thinking about other ways to get what I want, or maybe it’s a sign that I should be focusing on something else entirely. I mean, life’s full of surprises, and sometimes what you think you want isn’t what’s best for you.
So, yeah, it was kind of a letdown at first. But after sitting with it for a while, I realized it’s not all bad. It’s like when you ask someone for advice, and they tell you something you don’t want to hear, but deep down, you know they’re right. I decided to write down my thoughts about it, kind of like a diary entry, to help me figure out what to do next.
Here’s what I’m taking away from this:
- Don’t fear the “no”: Sometimes, a “no” is just a redirection to something better.
- Learn from setbacks: This card is a reminder to find the lesson in every challenge.
- Stay positive: Even when things look bleak, there’s always a chance for things to turn around. Keep your chin up!
In the end, I’m actually kind of grateful for this experience. It was a good reminder that things don’t always go your way, and that’s okay. It pushed me to think outside the box and be more open to different outcomes. Plus, it was a fun little experiment, and who knows, maybe I’ll try it again sometime with a different question. Life’s an adventure, right? And sometimes, you just gotta roll with the punches, even when the cards aren’t in your favor.
