Yesterday, I tried to read Tarot cards for the first time, specifically about the “ten of pentacles yes or no” thing. It was quite an experience, so I decided to document the whole process here.
First, I got myself a deck of Tarot cards. I chose a traditional Rider-Waite deck because I found it commonly recommended for beginners. After receiving the cards, I spent some time getting familiar with them, looking at each card, and reading a bit about their general meanings in the little booklet that came with the deck.
Then, I found a quiet place in my house where I could focus. I lit a candle and burned some incense to create a calm atmosphere. Not sure if it’s necessary, but I felt it would help me concentrate. I sat down comfortably, took a few deep breaths, and shuffled the cards while thinking about my question. My question was a simple “yes” or “no” one related to a potential investment opportunity.
Getting Down to the Reading
- I cut the deck into three piles and then restacked them.
- I spread the cards face down in front of me.
- I focused on my question again and picked a card.
- The card I drew was the Ten of Pentacles.
I was a bit taken aback at first. From what I read, the Ten of Pentacles generally indicates wealth, inheritance, and family matters. I wasn’t sure how to interpret it as a direct “yes” or “no” answer. I consulted the booklet and a few websites to get a broader understanding of the card.
Interpreting the Card
It seemed like the Ten of Pentacles often relates to long-term success and financial security. Some interpretations suggested it could represent a “yes” in the context of investments, especially those that are stable and have the potential to benefit future generations. This resonated with my situation, as I was considering a long-term investment.
However, I also read that the Ten of Pentacles can sometimes warn against becoming too focused on material wealth, or it might indicate issues related to family businesses or inherited wealth. Since my question didn’t involve family in any way, I figured this aspect was less relevant. I tried not to look for answers that I wanted to see, but it is hard not to.
Ultimately, I decided to interpret the Ten of Pentacles as a positive sign, leaning towards a “yes.” It seemed to align with the idea of a successful and lasting investment. I made a note of the reading and the date, deciding to revisit it later to see how things unfold.
The whole experience was pretty interesting. It felt a bit like a combination of self-reflection and seeking guidance from an external source. I’m not sure if I’ll rely on Tarot readings for all my decisions, but it was definitely a thought-provoking experience. I might try it again in the future, just to see what other insights it might offer.
