Okay, so I’ve been messing around with tarot cards for a while now, and I gotta say, this “Birthday Tarot Reading” thing is pretty cool. I mean, who doesn’t want to get a little mystical on their birthday, right?
So, the other day, it was my buddy’s birthday. I thought I’d give him a special gift — a birthday tarot reading. First, I grabbed my tarot deck and gave it a good shuffle. As I was shuffling, I asked him to think about what he wanted to know about the year ahead.
Once the cards were shuffled, I laid them out in a spread. I usually do a simple past, present, future spread, but you can get all fancy with different layouts if you want. I picked the cards for him one by one. I explained that the first card was about where he’s been, the second was about his current situation, and the third was a little peek into what might be coming up.
Main content
- Past: The first card I pulled was the “Reversed Tower.” I told him it means there were some shake-ups, big changes, but maybe not as smooth as he would like.
- Present: The second card was “The Sun” card. It was a nice change of vibe. I explained that it’s all about good vibes, success, and just feeling good about life.
- Future: The final card was the “Two of Wands.” I interpreted this as a sign that he’s got some decisions to make, some planning to do, but it’s all about moving forward and expanding his horizons.
He seemed pretty into it, and we ended up talking about what it all could mean for a good hour. It’s not about predicting the future with 100% accuracy, you know? It’s more like a fun way to think about things and maybe get some new perspectives.
I also learned that there’s this other thing called “Birth Cards,” which is different. It’s like figuring out which major arcana cards are tied to your personality based on your birth date. It’s like a whole other layer to this tarot stuff. I haven’t tried it myself yet. But, I found it’s about some combo of 2 or 3 cards, 12 sets in total, and about life path stuff. It sounds a bit complicated, but maybe I’ll give that a shot sometime. Sounds cool.
Anyway, if you’re looking for a different kind of birthday activity, or just want to explore tarot a bit more, I’d say give this birthday reading thing a try. It’s a good time, and who knows, you might even learn something about yourself or your friends along the way.
