I haven’t gotten a tarot reading from others in a long while, but last time when someone read for me as a practice, she looked down at the five of pentacles and said “It is now your time to go into the light. Don’t be afraid of the dark. You are not walking alone.” I stared at her pink shirt. We were only allowed to say one thing, and most of the things we said were rushed and vague, but hers was the only thing that stayed with me, and I said, I’ll remember. It came back to me this morning when I woke up, white sheets all wrapped around me and my face half-buried into a pillow. It kind of struck me altogether with the dream I had. It’s mostly why it’s so much better to record or write down the readings, because you don’t know how useful it will be in the latter times or how it’s just going to make sense all the sudden, striking a critical cord within you.
for the past couple of weeks I’ve been clearing away a lot of things. still, every time I shuffle a cup card—ten of cups or three of cups—would pop up, followed by the strength, and the wheel of fortune. don’t worry. you will make it through. but everybody worries, even though they do always make it through. and maybe it’s one step back for every two steps forward, but I’m there with you. I feel like I have to stand on my own, and so many things, unexpected things, even the things you love could stand in our way. but eventually we’ll all break out of the shell. I trust that we’re not just floating around on this giant ball with nowhere to go. I trust that I am strong on my own. and you are too.
birth cards are the basic foundational energy that defines your life. of course we as human beings are all different; different astrological charts and all, but I feel like our birth cards are where we start. so you might have the same birth cards with someone but where it takes you would obviously be very different from where it takes someone else. if you don’t know your birth card, find it out here.
knowing how to read cards can be cool sometimes. I discovered that young. reading for other people made me distinctive. but in the end it gave me more of a feeling of isolation, of having a barrier between myself and the person sitting across me starry-eyed, and only recently did I start to feel like I have a bridge in between me and that person instead of a wall.
