So, today I’m gonna talk about this breakup tarot thing I tried. Yeah, you heard that right, tarot cards. I know, I know, sounds a bit out there, but hey, I was feeling lost after splitting with my ex, and I was willing to try anything to get some clarity, you know?
It all started when I stumbled upon some articles online about tarot readings. They were all like, “Oh, tarot cards can help you understand yourself and your relationships,” and I was like, “Sign me up!” I mean, what did I have to lose, right? My heart was already in pieces, so why not let some cards tell me how messed up I was?
First, I had to get myself a deck of tarot cards. Went to this quirky little shop downtown that sold all sorts of mystical stuff. The lady at the counter gave me this knowing look when I asked for a tarot deck. I guess she could sense my desperate, heartbroken vibes. Anyway, I picked a deck that looked kinda cool, with all these intricate designs and whatnot.
Next, I had to learn how to actually do a reading. Found some more stuff online about different spreads—ways to lay out the cards to get answers to specific questions. The “breakup spread” seemed simple enough. Just one card to give you a basic idea of what’s going on. I figured even I couldn’t screw that up. Some sources did warn that the position of the cards are random, and shouldn’t take it too seriously. But I am not gonna think about that way. I am here for some answers.
So, there I was, sitting on my living room floor, candles lit, feeling like a total new-age weirdo. I shuffled the cards, trying to focus on my question: “What do I need to know about this breakup?” Then, I pulled a card. The Three of Swords. Three swords, piercing this big ol’ heart. Well, that’s just great, isn’t it? The card basically confirmed that I was, in fact, feeling grief and heartbreak. No surprises there.
But here’s the thing: even though the card was a bit of a downer, it actually made me feel… validated. Like, it was okay to feel like crap. The card didn’t magically fix everything, but it did give me a starting point to process my emotions. It was like, “Yeah, this hurts, and that’s normal.”
I kept pulling cards, trying different spreads, and started a journal. Some of the cards are hard to understand. But some are really speaking to me. And I realized that these tarot readings are more like a form of self-reflection than some mystical fortune-telling thing. They gave me a way to look at the situation from different angles, to see things I might have been ignoring. And It is helping me understand what I need to work on and what I want for my future.
I’m not saying tarot is some miracle cure for a broken heart. It’s not like the cards magically made my ex disappear or made me suddenly over the whole thing. But, in a weird way, they’ve helped me cope. They’ve given me a way to focus my thoughts, to express my feelings, and to start moving on.
So, yeah, that’s my tarot story. It’s not your typical breakup advice, but it’s been working for me. Maybe it’s all in my head, maybe it’s just a coincidence, but I’m feeling a little bit better, a little bit more hopeful. And hey, if a few pieces of cardboard can do that, who am I to judge?
