Okay, so I got this deck of Tarot cards a while back, thought it’d be fun to mess around with. I wasn’t really taking it seriously, just pulling cards for myself and my friends, you know, the usual stuff. But the other day, I was feeling kinda down about this guy I’ve been seeing – things just weren’t clicking like I wanted them to. So, I thought, why not ask the cards about how he feels about me?
I shuffled the deck, focused on him and our situation, and pulled a card. And guess what I got? The Eight of Pentacles, but reversed. Now, even I know that reversals usually mean the opposite of the card’s upright meaning. So, I started digging around to see what this could possibly mean in terms of his feelings for me.
First Try and My Thoughts
My first pull was really bad. This card, upright, it’s all about hard work, craftsmanship, getting better at something. But reversed? It seemed to hint at things like a lack of effort, maybe boredom, or even feeling stuck and uninspired. So, naturally, I was thinking, “Great, he’s probably not that into me. Maybe he finds our relationship boring or he’s not willing to put in the work.” I gotta say, it didn’t feel good. The Eight of Pentacles reversed suggests a lack of focus, low-quality work, and failure to achieve goals, such as being stuck in a dead-end job, having no motivation, and feeling no passion or purpose.
Deeper Dive
But then I thought, maybe I’m just jumping to conclusions. I mean, it’s just one card, right? So I decided to do some more research and think about it from different angles. Some of the stuff I found suggested that maybe it wasn’t about him being bored with me, but maybe feeling unfulfilled in his own life. Like, maybe he’s got his own stuff going on, and that’s affecting how he’s showing up in our relationship. I’m not sure.
Trying Another Time
After a few days, I tried another pull. Guess what I got again? The Eight of Pentacles, reversed. Then I tried another way to find some clues, like find soothing things to look at such as a burning candle, soft lights, pictures of loved ones, favorite places, or perhaps some framed inspirational resilience quotes or affirmations. I also tried to change the environment for a few minutes.
What I Realized
Here’s where it got interesting. The more I thought about it, the more I started to see how this card might actually be reflecting my own feelings too. I mean, I’ve been feeling pretty insecure about the whole thing, right? And maybe that’s creating a vibe that’s pushing him away. It’s like, I’m so focused on what he’s feeling or not feeling that I’m not really putting my best foot forward either. I realized that I should have my own life and not focus on him too much. Then, the Eight of Pentacles reversed might not appear again.
So, yeah, that’s where I’m at with it. It’s not exactly a clear answer, but it’s definitely given me a lot to think about. Maybe the cards aren’t just telling me about his feelings, but also showing me what I need to work on within myself. Pretty deep for a silly little card pull, huh?
