Today’s Tarot Pull

Using The Housewives Tarot by Paul Kepple & @judebuffum

The Four of Wands

She represents relaxation. Reaping the rewards you’ve worked so hard for and relaxing and prepping before you take on the bigger challenges. You are allowed this rest. Prep yourself for what’s to come. You have what it takes and after sufficient rest, you can have at it with a fresh clear mind while remaining cool, calm and collected. You set the waves in motion. You have what it takes to finish what you started.

Today’s Tarot Pull

Using The Weird Cat Tarot by @pinkgabbercat

Mug is a 2014 release featuring the art of @laurelburchstudios

The High Priestess

She shows no fear. She is calm, collected and knows exactly what needs to be said and done. She’s careful and has bided her time appropriately. Now is the time to pounce. She is intuitive and strongly follows it as it never leads her astray.

If you have been done wrong, you know what needs to be done.

If there’s something you’ve been waiting on, now is the time to pounce. You’ve waited patiently long enough.

All will soon be made known. This card is about knowledge, secrets and truth. She fiercely protects her secrets. So it may not be easy to find what it is you want to know. However, the motion has been set and soon, you will be shown the truths you seek.

How do I ignore my authentic voice?

1) Knight of Cups - Stuck in a romantic fantasy. Emotionally demanding/needy. Illogical expectations and emotional reaction.

What scares me about speaking my truth?

2) Five of Swords - Self inflicted entrapment. Loss, gossip, mistrust. But also can lead to positive change if you put in the work. A need for closure you may never get. Fears, trauma and unresolved issues hold you back. Ignore negative thoughts and opinions from yourself and others.

How can I connect to my true voice?

3) Transformation - Elimination of distractions and difficulties. Your true priorities have been exposed allowing you to move forward. Continued spiritual growth and a change in relationships.

What is stopping me embracing who I am?

4) Knight of Crystals - Too set in your ways, stagnant energy, boredom, restlessness. Time to take constructive action. Remain focused on one small goal at a time. This also refers to a very loyal and responsible person in your life who can provide insight and knowledge if and when needed. You can count on them to guide you through this process.

How will this help me communicate better with the people around me?

5) King of Cups - By gaining back emotional strength and control over your life. Balancing work and hobbies. Connection and guidance through your higher self. Emotional maturity.

How can I connect to my intuition on a deeper level?

6) Nine of Wands - Overwhelming responsibility and limitations. However, your hard work and efforts are paying off. You have the inner strength, wisdom and preserverance to move forward. Their may be a minor setback or obstacle. Don’t lose sight of your goal. You’re almost there. You can and WILL achieve the success you seek.

🃏Using Tarot Cards to Understand Your Emotions

Emotions can be tricky to navigate. Especially when you didn’t grow up with people who explained and taught you how to deal with the array of human emotions properly.

Some emotions are easy to identify, but there are moments where it feels near impossible to figure out what you are really feeling. Sometimes you think you feel one way when in reality you are feeling something else. Other times you want to believe you are feeling a certain emotion when you are just trying to cover up the real emotion you are feeling. 

Here is a way to help pin point what emotion you are actual experiencing. When you tried other methods but still feel unsure what emotion it is you are feeling. 

✨Grab your tarot deck and separate the major and minor arcana. We will be using only the major arcana (0-21). 

✨Hold the major cards in your hands for a while and allow the cards to feel your energy. When ready, shuffle them, and then draw how many cards you feel guided too.

✨Use the list below to find out what emotion(s) your deck is picking up from you:   

0.Fool ~ Curiosity

1.Magician ~ Determination

2.High Priestess ~ Inspiration

3.Empress ~ Gratitude

4.Emperor ~ Seriousness

5.Hierophant ~ Indifference

6.Lovers ~ Adoration

7.Chariot ~ Eagerness

8.Strength ~ Confidence

9.Hermit ~ Loneliness

10.Wheel of Fortune ~ Anxiousness

11.Justice ~ Anger

12.Hanged Man ~ Confusion

13.Death ~ Remorse/Sadness

14.Temperance ~ Hope

15.Devil ~ Defiance

16.Tower ~ Shock

17.Star ~ Acceptance

18.Moon ~ Fear

19.Sun ~ Happiness

20.Judgement ~ Shame

21.World ~ Pride

✨There are more than 22 emotions a person can feel so I used the emotions that are most common and fit with the cards. Feel free to assign your own interpretation of what emotion each card can represent. 

*Disclaimer- If you find it difficult to understand your own emotions to the point where it interferes with your life negatively, I highly recommend seeking a therapist or finding free online resources to help you then relaying solely on this method.*

How to Use Tarot to Identify Your Soulmate

It is not like performing a traditional tarot spread. You need a conversation with your deck instead.

• There are ten things to ask. Overhand shuffle your cards for every question.

• The card on top and the one at the bottom of the deck are the pair that gives every answer. Read them together.

• Note down each answer, as you need to put them back. The deck should always have 78 cards each time you ask.

Tarot Tip

When you interpret the cards, keep this flow in mind:

What the card represents > What the representation can lead to

The Fool: New beginnings, being presented with a new start > recklessness, feeling nervous, not knowing what to do, excited to start, not seeing things clearly because you are new to it, feeling optimistic, etc. 

6 of Swords: Transition, moving towards a better future > emotional baggage, leaving behind relationships, distancing yourself from the past, relocation, feeling tired, etc.

Just remember what the card represents (i.e the core meaning/story). You don’t have to memorize what the representation can lead to, because this can be influenced by card combinations. You can extrapolate during the reading itself based on the card combination you get.

Daily card for 4/8/2020

I’m using Tarot of Pagan Cats by Magdelina Messina

Today’s card: Queen of Wands

This card can mean many things, but today it refers to a nurturing and caring individual. Be open and receptive to others today. Cultivate your ability to listen and respond in a thoughtful manner. This will gain you the trust you seek.

[littleraventarotnook]

One of my classes is about information analysis and ways of collecting said information via survey. . So I made a survey spread. . You’ve done this before. 1 - Strongly agree 2 - Agree 3 - Neutral 4 - Disagree 5 - Strongly disagree . For whatever topic you chose. You can also have an extra card for your topic if you want, but I just pick one in my head. . . . #iltaroccodellevetrate #tarotspread https://www.instagram.com/p/B-r-sA8HZQy/?igshid=1s0vubgp55us9

Today is not the day for toxicity. Make sure those around make you feel safe and loved. Trust is big today, so make sure you speak your truth.

Daily card for 4/5/2020

I’m using Work Your Light Oracle by Rebecca Campbell

Today’s card: Deep Replenishment

Retreat. Rest. Be held.

Are you running low on your personal energy? This card urges you to take time to rest and refill. You cannot help yourself or others on an empty well. You must allow yourself to refill. So today, do something that replenishes your mind, body and soul. Only then can you help yourself and others. 🖖🏻

[littleraventarotnook]

I can see why people start offering readings for people; I have so many decks and no productive use for them 🤨 At least if you do readings for others you get to use them. That being said I hate reading for other people, it stresses me out. I just want an excuse to use more decks more often 😂. With the exception of doing readings for ppl with the OTWT, as those are ridiculous to begin with. . You can only read for yourself so many time before you run out of things to read about. https://www.instagram.com/p/B-kV6qNn80d/?igshid=arziwy6zkaf2
