Okay, so I’ve been messing around with tarot cards for a while now, mostly just for fun and a little bit of self-reflection. I’m no expert, believe me, but I find it interesting to see what comes up. Today, I was feeling kinda… blah. You know, just uninspired and directionless. So I pulled a card to see if it could shed any light on my emotional state, and I got the Two of Wands.
At first, I was like, “Huh?” I mean, the Two of Wands, what even is that? I grabbed my trusty little guidebook (because, like I said, I’m no expert) and started digging in.
It talked about things like planning, making decisions, and having the courage to step out of your comfort zone. The image on the card usually shows a figure looking out at a vast landscape, holding a globe or a staff. It’s all about looking ahead and seeing the potential for what’s to come.
I sat with that for a bit. My “blah” feeling definitely wasn’t about having tons of exciting options. It was more like the opposite. I felt stuck, like I was just going through the motions. No spark, no real drive.
So, I pulled out my journal and started to free-write about it. I wrote down all the things I could be doing. Like, I’ve been wanting to start a new art project, and I have this idea for a short story bouncing around in my head. I even jotted down some places I’d like to travel to, someday, when I have the time and money.
- Start new painting with watercolors
- Write that scene with the talking cat (from my short story idea)
- Research cheap flights to… anywhere!
Seeing it all written down, it hit me: The Two of Wands, as a feeling, wasn’t necessarily about having already made a decision. It was about that moment before the decision, that feeling of potential and possibility, even if it’s a little scary.
It’s like standing at a crossroads. You can see all the different paths, but you haven’t picked one yet. And, honestly, that’s kind of where I am right now. The card made me realize that my “blah” feeling wasn’t necessarily bad. It was just… waiting. Waiting for me to choose a direction, any direction.
Embracing the possibilities
The Two of Wands as feelings, at least for me today, It’s not a feeling of total clarity or confidence, It’s more like a simmering excitement, a restless energy that’s waiting to be channeled.
So, yeah, that’s my little tarot adventure for today. The Two of Wands – a card about potential, decisions, and maybe just embracing the feeling of being on the verge of something new, even if you don’t know what that “something” is yet. I’m still not 100% sure what I’m going to do next, but I feel a little less “blah” and a little more… hopeful. Maybe tomorrow I’ll actually pick up those watercolors.
