Okay, so today I wanted to try something new with my tarot deck. I picked the 6 of Pentacles, and my goal was to figure out what actions this card might be telling me to take. Let me tell you, it was a bit of a journey.
I started by just staring at the card. You know, the usual scene—a guy giving coins to some folks who look like they need it. Right off the bat, I’m thinking “generosity” and “help.” But how do I actually do that in real life? It’s not like I can just hand out money on the street. So, I grabbed my journal and started jotting down some ideas.
Brainstorming the Actions
First, I made a list of ways I could be generous. It wasn’t easy, but I came up with a few things:
- Donate to a charity. I have some old clothes and books. Maybe it’s time to give them away to those who need it.
- Volunteer my time. I could help at the local soup kitchen or maybe read to kids at the library.
- Help someone out. Maybe it’s a friend who needs a hand moving or an elderly neighbor who needs help with groceries.
These were all good, but they felt a bit… general. I wanted to see if I could tie it back to the card more directly.
Making It Personal
So, I thought about the two people getting the coins on the card. What if I helped two people specifically? That felt more in line with the card. I brainstormed again and figured I could:
- Mentor someone at work. There’s a new intern who seems a bit lost. Maybe I could offer some guidance.
- Support a friend. My buddy’s going through a tough time. I could be there for him, maybe offer to help with some of his work.
This felt better. More focused and more connected to the imagery on the card.
Putting It Into Practice
Alright, so I decided to give these actions a try. I emailed the intern and offered to help him out with his project. He seemed really grateful, and we set up a time to chat. That was one. Then, I texted my friend and offered to take some work off his plate. He was super relieved and thanked me profusely. That’s two. Check and check.
Reflecting on the Outcome
After doing all this, I felt pretty good. Helping others really does make you feel better. It wasn’t just about following the card’s advice; it was about making a real difference, even if it was small. The 6 of Pentacles isn’t just about giving money; it’s about sharing what you have, whether it’s time, skills, or support. And honestly, it felt great to put that into action.
So, that was my little experiment with the 6 of Pentacles. It was a cool way to connect with my tarot deck on a practical level. I’m thinking of doing this with other cards too. Maybe the 7 of Wands next? Who knows, it could be another interesting day. If you are interested in tarot cards, just do it.
