Okay, so yesterday I was messing around with my tarot cards, right? Decided to do a simple yes/no question using the Four of Wands. Figured I’d jot down how it went ’cause why not?
First off, I centered myself. You know, the usual deep breaths, trying to clear my head of all the day’s garbage. Then I focused on my question. It was about whether I should take on this extra freelance gig. Needed the cash, but also didn’t want to burn myself out.
I shuffled the deck, really focusing on the question while I was doing it. I always feel like that’s important, putting the intention in. Cut the deck into three piles, put ’em back together, all the standard stuff.
Then, I drew the card. Boom. Four of Wands. At first glance, it looks pretty positive, right? Celebratory, welcoming. But tarot’s not always that straightforward.
So, I started digging into the card’s meaning. Four of Wands: Traditionally, it represents celebration, harmony, a sense of completion, and a welcoming home. Think of weddings, graduations, stuff like that. It’s got a real “we did it!” vibe.
But here’s the thing, for a yes/no question, you gotta be specific about how you interpret it. I thought about it for a sec. Is it saying “yes, take the gig, it’ll be a celebratory success”? Or is it saying “yes, but this is just a temporary celebration before more work”?
I decided to look at the overall vibe. The card feels stable, grounded. To me, that suggested that taking on the extra work wouldn’t throw my life into chaos. It wouldn’t be some wild, stressful mess. More like a manageable addition.
Plus, the “welcoming home” aspect made me think about the financial security the extra gig would provide. It felt like the card was saying “yes, this will bring you a sense of stability and comfort.”
So, I went with it. I interpreted the Four of Wands as a “yes.” I contacted the client and accepted the freelance gig. Let’s see how it goes!
My final decision was Yes.
I’ll definitely keep you guys updated on how this plays out. Tarot’s not an exact science, but it’s a fun way to think about decisions and get some different perspectives.
