Okay, so I’ve been messing around with tarot cards for a while now, and let me tell you, figuring out what they mean when you pull multiple cards at once? It’s a whole different ball game. I remember this one time, I was just starting out, and I thought, “Hey, how hard can it be?” So, I shuffled my deck, thinking about what I wanted to know, and I laid out three cards.
At first, I was just looking at each card by itself. You know, like, “Oh, this one means this, and that one means that.” I was using this little cheat sheet I found online that had all these keywords for each card. Super basic stuff, but hey, I was a newbie. The first card was some cup card, the second one some coin one, and the third one, a sword card, I don’t remember the exact card’s name anymore.
But then, I started to realize something. It wasn’t just about the individual cards. It was about how they interacted with each other. Like, the first card could be setting the stage, the second one could be the main issue, and the third one could be the advice or the outcome. It was like they were telling a story together. I grabbed a notebook and started jotting down notes, trying to piece together the narrative. I drew little diagrams, connecting the cards with arrows and scribbling down keywords next to each one.
I remember one particular three-card spread I did that really blew my mind. I was asking about this job opportunity I had, and I pulled the Empress, the Six of Wands, and the Tower. Now, on their own, these cards might mean different things. The Empress, for example, I read somewhere that it could be about nurturing or abundance, maybe because it’s linked to the number three, which is supposed to be about growth and creativity. But in this context, with the other two cards, it felt like it was saying, “Go for it, embrace the new opportunity.”
Then, when I dove into the other two cards in the context of the first one. I realized the Six of Wands, which often means victory or public recognition. It felt like it was saying the job would be a success, and people would notice. The Tower, though, that one threw me for a loop. It can mean sudden change or upheaval, so I wasn’t sure what to make of it at first. The tower looks scary, you know? But then I thought, “Maybe it means the job will shake things up in a good way, like a necessary disruption.” And I write down my feelings, thoughts in the notebook for about 1 hour.
So, I put it all together. The Empress, Six of Wands, and the Tower, in that order. It felt like the cards were saying, “Embrace this new opportunity, it will be a success, and it will lead to a positive, though perhaps dramatic, change.” That is so cool! I was so excited that I shared my findings with one of my good friends. And it is funny that she has done the same card reading like two weeks ago, and she got the exact same cards in the exact order! I mean, what are the odds?
-
Empress: Go for it, embrace the new, abundance.
-
Six of Wands: Success, recognition.
-
The Tower: Positive, though perhaps dramatic change.
It was a lightbulb moment for me. I realized that reading tarot card combinations isn’t just about memorizing meanings. It’s about intuition, storytelling, and seeing the bigger picture. And, honestly, it’s just plain fun. Ever since then, I’ve been hooked on exploring these combinations, and each time, I learn something new, not just about the cards, but about myself, too.
I still have that notebook, by the way. It’s filled with pages and pages of these readings. I love flipping through it and seeing how my understanding of the cards has evolved. It’s like a little tarot journal, and it’s one of my most prized possessions. And I decided to share this little discovery today. I hope it helps!
