Okay, so today I wanted to mess around with tarot cards. I’ve always been a bit curious about them, you know? So, I got this deck and decided to try a simple ‘yes or no’ reading with the 2 of Pentacles card.
First off, I cleared my mind and shuffled the deck. I tried to focus on my question as I did it. It took me a little while to get into the zone. After shuffling, I cut the deck into three piles and then put them back into one. It felt kind of important to do it just right, even though I wasn’t sure exactly what “right” was. I was really focused on the question.
Then, I started flipping cards. I was looking for the 2 of Pentacles, but I decided to pull three cards total to see if that gave me a clearer answer. My heart was kinda pounding, not gonna lie. First card, nothing special. Second card, still not it. Then, bam, third card, there it was, the 2 of Pentacles, upright.
Now, what I read online was that this card is kind of a mixed bag. It’s not a straight yes or no. It’s more like, “things are going to be a bit shaky, with ups and downs.”
I also read that if you have more positive or neutral cards in your spread, it leans towards a yes. But if you have more negative cards, it’s probably a no. So, I laid out the other two cards and tried to figure out if they were positive or negative, which honestly, was a bit tricky. They seemed kind of neutral to me.
With the 2 of Pentacles upright and the other two cards feeling neutral, I decided to interpret it as a “maybe leaning towards yes, but with some challenges ahead.”
- I shuffled and cut the deck, focusing on my question.
- I pulled three cards, looking for the 2 of Pentacles.
- I found the 2 of Pentacles upright on the third draw.
- I interpreted the other two cards as neutral.
My conclusion
I interpreted the reading as a “maybe, leaning towards yes, but expect some juggling and balancing.” It wasn’t the clear-cut answer I was hoping for, but it felt kinda profound in a way. Like, life’s not always black and white, right? You gotta roll with the punches and adapt. I guess that’s what I’ll take away from this little experiment. Not a definitive answer, but some food for thought. It made me think that maybe I need to be more flexible and ready for anything. I’m going to take some time to think about my approach to things and see if I can be more adaptable, maybe do a little internal reflection. If it comes to me, then that’s good, but if it doesn’t, that is also good. I mean, the cards are just a tool, right? It’s up to us to make sense of them.
