Okay, so, I’ve been getting really into tarot lately. Not in a super-serious, fortune-teller kind of way, but more like… a self-reflection tool, you know? And, of course, the “love” aspect is always tempting to peek into. So today, I decided to do a “free love tarot, what is he thinking” reading for myself. Let me tell you about the experience.
First, I lit a candle. Sounds cheesy, I know, but it helps me focus. And, I grabbed my favorite tarot deck that I picked up online. Then I cleared my mind… or at least, I tried to. It’s hard to shut off all the thoughts sometimes!
Next, I shuffled the cards while thinking about, well, him. The guy I’ve been seeing. We’ve had some great dates, but sometimes I just can’t figure out what’s going on in that head of his. So I focused my energy on that question: “What is he thinking about me/this relationship?”
Then came the fun part – drawing the cards! For this kind of reading, I usually do a simple three-card spread. It feels less overwhelming, you know?
- Card 1: Represents the overall situation.
- Card 2: Represents his thoughts/feelings.
- Card 3: Represents a possible outcome or advice.
I carefully laid out the cards face down, then flipped them over one by one. I won’t bore you with all the details of each card’s meaning (because that’s a whole other blog post!), but I will say this.
I got The Lovers, the five of cups and Six of Swords.
My interpretation
The Five of Cups can often represent disappointment, sadness, or dwelling on the past. But, it also has a glimmer of hope, the six of swords speaks of moving on and The Lovers, speaks for itself, right?.
So, my very amateur, totally-just-for-fun interpretation? Maybe he’s got some baggage from the past, but his overall feelings have a strong potentioal, so he’s thinking to leave behind the past. It felt surprisingly accurate, actually.
I jotted down some notes in my journal about the cards and my initial thoughts. Then, I sat with it for a while, just letting the ideas simmer. It wasn’t some magical revelation, but it did give me some things to ponder. I put the deck to it’s place and blew out the candle.
Overall, it was a fun, little self-exploration exercise. It’s not about predicting the future, it’s about getting a different perspective, thinking things through, and maybe, just maybe, understanding myself (and him!) a little bit better.
