Okay, so, a few months back, I started getting into tarot reading, you know, just for fun. I was curious about everything, and one day, I thought, why not try to figure out if I could get pregnant using tarot cards? I know it sounds wild, but I was just curious.
I got my deck out, the usual Rider-Waite one. I shuffled the cards, thinking hard about my question, like really focusing on it. I laid out a simple three-card spread because, honestly, I’m still pretty new at this and didn’t want to make it too complicated. It was a typical afternoon. I did it in my living room with the sun shining. My cat was sleeping nearby. All was normal.
The first card I flipped over was The Empress. Now, even I know that this card is a big deal for fertility and motherly stuff. It’s got this woman, very queen-like, surrounded by nature. It felt hopeful, you know? Like, maybe this was a good sign.
- The Empress: This card jumped out at me. It’s all about nurturing and fertility. I felt a good vibe from it.
Then, I pulled The Star. I remembered reading somewhere that this card could mean the universe is aligning to give you what you want, and it’s also about fertility. At this point, I was getting pretty excited. It was like the universe was giving me a thumbs-up or something.
- The Star: This one made me hopeful. It felt like a confirmation that good things are coming.
The last card was the Ace of Pentacles. I did some digging and found out it often means new beginnings, and some people think it has a fertility vibe. I was thrilled! It felt like all the cards were pointing to a big, fat ‘yes’ to my question about pregnancy.
- Ace of Pentacles: I learned this card is about new beginnings. And it can also be a sign of fertility. It was the final piece of the puzzle.
I also did some other readings. Once, I asked straight up if I was pregnant at that moment, and guess what? I got the 4 of Cups, Ace of Pentacles again, The World, and The Lovers. I was using a deck with those ‘pip’ cards, you know, the simpler ones.
I read up a bit more and found out that the Queen of Pentacles is a big one for pregnancy. I guess it means you’re going to have a healthy baby.
After the reading, I felt pretty hopeful. It was like the cards were telling me exactly what I wanted to hear. But I also know that tarot is not an exact science, and I can not just rely on it. So I went and got a pregnancy test, just to be sure. It was kind of funny, going from mystical cards to a plastic stick, but hey, I wanted to be sure.
It turned out the test was positive! I couldn’t believe it. I mean, the cards had been so on point. I went to the doctor to confirm it, and yep, it was true. I was actually pregnant. I was over the moon, obviously, but also super amazed at how the tarot reading had been so accurate.
It was a wild ride, going from just a fun tarot reading to actually finding out I was pregnant. It made me see tarot in a whole new light. It’s not just a game; it felt like a real connection to something bigger. Of course, I’m not saying everyone should use tarot to plan their family, but for me, it was a really cool and unexpected way to get some amazing news. I told all my friends about it, and they were just as shocked as I was. It’s definitely a story I’ll be telling for years.
My takeaway?
Tarot can be surprisingly insightful, but it’s also important to keep your feet on the ground. I never thought I’d be using tarot to figure out something as big as pregnancy, but it was a fun and eye-opening experience. It’s a cool story, right? How often do you hear about someone predicting their pregnancy with tarot cards?
