For this challenge, I got a free Tarot reading Friday night from a Biddy reader that was everything I wanted to hear and more. The reader did say I should step back from my situation and meditate, but the outcome in the cards was excellent.
When I do readings for myself, however, they are just miserable! Example: Tonight, I decided to try the 7 card spread for the coming week on Spells8. I followed along with the video. I smudged my deck with sage first. For the interpretation, I used Spells8 and for the reversals, the Tarot Coloring Book by Theresa Reed. Depressing reading, given some personal circumstances. Either I am not facing something or this is way off. I had been feeling hopeful.
Monday - Wheel of Fortune, reversed. Karmic justice; uncertainty
Tuesday - 2 of Swords, reversed - Facing a harsh truth
Wednesday - Judgement, reversed - Denial and fear
Thursday - 7 of Wands - Taking a stand; a fight
Friday - 6 of Swords, reversed - Stuck; in pain
Saturday - Hermit, reversed - Not learning my lesson; isolation
Sunday - Death, reversed (oh, joy) ā More stuckedness. Fear of change.
I was so desperate for a glimmer of hope. I pulled one more card - a clarifying card. 10 of Pentacles - REVERSED. Loss of fortune. Mama mia!
I thought about how unhappy I was about my reading and personal circumstances. I think I will devote some time to the Spells8 beginning witch course and tomorrow, I will take a blanket outside and sit around some trees for a while. Maybe meditate there. I need to focus on what I can control: I can control my learning and my connection with nature. People, thatās another thing entirely If I canāt be happy in one way, there are many other ways.
