Okay, so I’ve been meaning to get back into tarot, and I thought, what better way to ease in than with a simple, single-card pull? I used to do full spreads, you know, Celtic Cross and all that jazz, but honestly, it felt a bit overwhelming lately. So, single card it is!
First, I dug out my old Rider-Waite deck. It’s been tucked away in a drawer for… well, let’s just say a while. The box is a little beat up, but the cards themselves are still in pretty good shape. I always liked the classic imagery of this deck.
Next, I needed to find a quiet spot. The kids were finally asleep, the dog was curled up on the couch, and the house was (relatively) peaceful. I settled at my kitchen table, lit a small candle (just for the vibes, you know?), and took a few deep breaths to center myself. I’m no expert meditator, but I try!
Then, I shuffled the deck. I didn’t do anything fancy, just a regular overhand shuffle, while I thought about what I wanted to focus on. I didn’t have a specific question in mind, more like a general “what do I need to know right now?” kind of vibe.
Once I felt like the cards were good and mixed, I spread them out face down on the table. I hovered my hand over them for a moment, trying to feel… I don’t know… a pull? A tingle? Something! I just let my intuition guide me.
Finally, I picked a card. And… it was The Star. Honestly, it’s a beautiful card. A woman pouring water, stars in the sky… very serene.
My Real-Quick Interpretation:
- Hope: This card is all about hope and renewal, which is kind of what I needed to hear.
- Inspiration: Maybe it’s a sign to get back into some creative projects I’ve been putting off.
- Guidance: Feeling a little lost lately, so maybe this is a reminder to trust my intuition more.
I’m taking it as a positive sign. It wasn’t some earth-shattering revelation, but it gave me a little something to think about. And it definitely inspired me to do more regular readings. Maybe I’ll try a three-card spread next time!
