For the next few weeks or so, Iām going to be giving myself a weekly,Ā specific reading. Iāve learned that tarot is largely intuition-based. Though anyone can use the cards, I think they become a more effective tool the more you investigate them. Today I did a simple reading: past, present, and future. Iām looking for insight into personal goals.
My first card or āpastā is the 5 of swords. This is a card of self-destruction (rude, I know).Ā Disagreement, ā bad bloodā, maybe a competition. Itās a card that is relevant to my past (maybe even my present) and Iām happy to leave it there.
The six of wands is a victory card: a ārising up.ā It is an achievement of a goal. This card represents success and public acknowledgement.
My final card, the future, is the ace of wands. It is a card of new beginnings and inspiration. It brings potential and opportunities. It recognizes great promise.
I think what I have found most interesting in tarot is its ability to tell a story. A narrative seems so relevant whenever I pull cards. Maybe thatās my bias and others see a string of generalizations. Still, I find these narratives to be continually revealing.
