Three Card Tarot Readings (Non-Psychic)

[Vipassana]

Pro tip: flip your own cards

[Yog]

@Emerald Hoy. What are the next key lessons I need to learn ? 

Btw its a fun self-exploratory thing. I don't think folk around here is taking it way too literally and giving away their power. 

I see tarot as a deck of mirrors. The interpreter just helps you do your self inquiry. Its more like a therapist than an oracle.

How did you learn this art?

It’s a mixture of things.

Officially, I started doing Tarot a little less than a year ago where I learned all the card meanings and all the systems of the deck.

But I also, learned to critique art in college in a very thorough way that I try not to take the ‘obvious’ details for granted.

I graduated with two bachelor’s in the arts and an art history minor. So, there is definitely crossover skills between art criticism and Tarot reading. I really treated critique in a very similar way to how I currently approach Tarot.

Also, I got really into Jungian psychology for a while. So, I learned a lot about archetypes and esoteric symbols.

I have also done a lot of self-exploration and I’ve worked with well over 100 clients to help facilitate theirs... through Life-coaching, Dreamwork, and Tarot Reading.

So, all of these things influence my reads.

@Emerald Thank you, sounds pretty accurate. I didn't get a pic of my cards I notice. Maybe you forgot. Thank you for your time. 

I think it was this one. Sorry about that.

@Emerald What’s my current issue I’m having? How do I overcome it? 

The cards reflect that there may be issues with intimacy and vulnerability. Perhaps you feel a sense of difficulty with going out into the world and making new friends... which may be influenced by a fear of loss.

So, there is perhaps a guardedness that gives way to isolation... because it’s hard to risk losing people. And if you have few people to lose, you can shield yourself from acute grief.

But this resistance to “death” of relationships leads to an aridity in life.

So, if the cards are reflective of your situation, the advice here is to make peace with the many deaths in life. Once you open your arms wide to death’s embrace, you will start to live and love again.

Hello, I would appreciate a reading a lot

Is my relationship with my girlfriend authentic does it do more harm than good eventually?

The cards seem to reflect that there is a sense of being torn between two choices (which is likely why you’re asking). And there are parts of you that say it’s good and parts of you that say it isn’t good.

But there is perhaps an underlying sense of dissatisfaction, like wishing there were something more.

And this may be leading you to consider how many paths you won’t be able to go down, depending on which option you choose. And there may be a fear of missing out in either fork of the road you choose.

Ultimately, the fear is about dissatisfaction. So, it must be addressed directly.

No matter if you decide to stay or leave the relationship, there will always be regret or dissatisfaction... until you face those feelings head-on.

Hai Emerald thanks for taking time in reading.

I would like to know what's stoping me from having a dream life? 

All reversals. So this could mean lot’s of friction or resistance.

The first card seems to reflect that your forward moving energy is held back. So, there is no clear path that your mind is invested enough in to go the distance yet.

And this is perhaps because there is no clear sense of joy to be had in the future. You may not know what you ACTUALLY want... because you’ve never felt the feeling before of enjoyment in the present moment.

And there is a sense that this lack of self-knowledge and knowledge of your own preferences halts your path moving forward... including your ability to find people who are cut from the same cloth as you that you can have a deep connection with. This would also get in the way of creating a family, if that’s part of your vision.

So, the main takeaway is to learn your boundaries, preferences, and motivations. Let them be the river that pulls you downstream to what you really want... not just what your mind thinks you want.

@Emerald what keeps me back and unmotivated ?

What comes across in the spread is that there is a balancing act, externally and internally, which is sapping your energy.

You may be focused on giving your energy to others (or certain activities) in an attempt to be balanced with your time. Then there seems to be a very active process of emotional regulation happening with regard to all these external responsibilities (or assumed responsibilities), which also takes up a lot of energy.

In the spread, there is also a sense that financial concerns may play a big role in what’s sapping your energy and attention away from what you prefer to be focused on.

So, there is no place to really rest, and it’s difficult to be motivated when you’re actively trying to keep everything (and potentially everyone) afloat.

hey thanks for doing this

ask the cards what my life purpose is please I don’t have money for the course right now lol 

There are plenty of ways to discover this. Be sure to be proactive, as the cards are only helpful in relation to how you use them. The same is true with the course or anything else.

So, we have the Fool, flanked by two 3 cards. The number 3 cards (as a reflection of the Empress) have to do with taking the first step on a new path.

The Fool ALSO has to do with taking the first step on a new path.

Perhaps your purpose will be to help those who are jaded by life’s heartbreaks. And to help them resolve old heartbreaks to start on a new path of connection.

here are some cards for all of you gathered in this thread - i guess its a hint towards making the best of this situation right now, try to learn from this crisis hitting the world. there is much more to learn now than when learning under „normal“ conditions. i‘m not the psychic my cards are psychic.

but @Emerald doesn’t that exactly mean that? that you already are?

I tend to assume a sense of synchronicity in the cards. But I like to leave by beliefs open ended.

@Emerald Any question right. Let’s test the waters.

What has been the theme of my life for the past few years?

Seems like a taroty question, shouldn’t be too hard to answer.

All Pentacles cards. So potentially a lot to do with Earthly concerns like career and money. Can also relate to grounding in a purpose.

The cards seem to reflect a previous standstill in your path in terms of purpose, work, and money. There was perhaps some uncertainty as well as a sense that you have to continue giving your energy to things you don’t want to... and not having energy leftover for your path.

But with the Queen of Pentacles at the end, it suggests that you may have recently found some modest prosperity and a bit of a resting place for you to nurture your actual path without spending all your energy trying to keep life afloat.

Now, it may be time to get more clarity on what you’d like to focus your energy toward and start walking on that path. But there may be a reluctance if overworking or futility was an issue before. Those are traumas to be worked through.

Hey Emerald, this sounds interesting!

What’s in store for me?

Would be fun to do one for yourself and show the results on this thread  

Mind you, I’m not psychic. But this is what the cards seem to reflect.

With all the reversals, I get a potential sense of stagnation in your work path, spirituality, and creative drive.

But fear not. There are stars in each of the cards... and the middle card is actually called “The Star”.

So, my recommendation is, if you face with blocks or stagnation, find your own “North Star” once again. 

The Hermit is a good archetype to help you turn inward and find your own North Star.

Where should I be focusing my energy? 

[Javfly33]

In the state where I am in my life right now, should I go full throttle with what my intuition tells me, or should I re-consider and try to find a balance with other areas of my life more "basic" which i have left behind lately?

its not a belief but a phenomenon - at least you don’t have to hide. synchronicity is what brings everything together. being psychic is to recive synchronicities higher than probability.

Okie dokie. My question is what am I not aware of that would be good to become aware of?

Okay, so this reminds me of an inner struggle that I’m having with regard to lack of optimism and doubts about my motivations for doing what I do.

I’m always anticipating myself to be tricking myself and there is a lack of trust in myself. And because I have these fundamentally pessimistic views of myself and my level of “just-ness” or trustworthiness toward myself.

And this lack of self-trust tamps down my ability to become aware of certain ‘elevated’ truths about my nature. The layer of mistrust/cynicism toward myself blunts my awareness of THIS as being the reality.

But the question is, how to let go of doubt when uncertainty is a part of my humanity?

When my current situation will finally change?
Will it change for good or for the better?

My questions ^

HI there  , glad you're here

The cards seem to reflect that the current situation is disallowing social interaction (of course). This will lead to some misfortune.

But that new “institutions” and a sense of community will spring up in response to the loneliness and misfortune. And this is where things may take a better turn... if you’re careful not to become dogmatic or lose yourself in the newfound sense of community.

I see this shift as being very tied to current events with the virus.
