So, I’ve been messing around with tarot cards lately, just trying to figure things out, you know? Today, I pulled the Two of Swords and the Six of Pentacles, and let me tell you, it got me thinking.
Pulled the cards
I shuffled the deck, focusing on some stuff going on in my life, mainly this project I’m working on and a bit of a disagreement with a coworker. I pulled the Two of Swords first. It has this picture of a blindfolded person holding two swords, all crossed and serious. Immediately, I thought, “Yep, that’s me, stuck in the middle.”
Tried to figure out what it means
I did a little digging online, and it seems like the Two of Swords is all about being at a crossroads, having to make a tough decision, or feeling like there are two sides pulling you in different directions. It’s like, you know you need to choose, but you’re stalling because neither option feels great. Sounds familiar, right?
Then came the second card
Next, I pulled the Six of Pentacles. This one shows someone giving coins to others. It felt like a whole different vibe. I read up on this one too, and it’s talking about balance, giving and receiving, maybe even needing a little help from someone or something. That’s when I start to thinking that the two cards might be related to each other somehow.
Trying to connect the dots
So, here’s what I’m thinking. The Two of Swords is probably about this project I’m stuck on. There are two ways I could go with it, and both have their pros and cons. I’ve been putting off making a decision because I’m worried about picking the wrong one. Then the Six of Pentacles comes in, and it’s like a little nudge saying, “Hey, maybe you need to ask for some help here.” I start to think that maybe I need a little help, or maybe I need to help someone else to get help back.
Putting it into action
- Talking it out: I decided to talk to my coworker, the one I had that little disagreement with. Turns out, we were both seeing the same problem from different angles. It’s not a total agreement, but it’s a start, you know? It looks like that both of us have the right to speak out our thoughts.
- Asking for advice: I also reached out to a friend who’s good at this kind of project stuff. I just laid out the two options I was considering, and they gave me some pretty solid advice.
- Giving back: I was thinking to return the favor for my friend, to balance the give and take.
What I learned
It’s still early days, but I feel a little less stuck. I still have a decision to make about the project, but it doesn’t feel as overwhelming now. It’s like, by acknowledging the conflict (Two of Swords) and being open to giving and receiving help (Six of Pentacles), I’m starting to find some balance. I’ve been giving too much without any return or taking too much from someone else. It is just not right, and it won’t last long if it is not fixed. It might even work out in a way I hadn’t considered before. Who knew a couple of cards could make you think so much? Tarot is pretty wild, huh? I still have to think about that and try to take action to fix it. Wish me luck, everyone!
