Okay, so I’ve been messing around with tarot cards lately, trying to get a handle on this whole “divination” thing. It’s been… interesting. Today, I decided to focus on a single card and really try to understand it. The card I picked was the Nine of Cups, and I wanted to see if I could get a clear “yes” or “no” answer from it about a specific question I had.
First, I cleared my mind. I mean, as much as I could. It’s tough to completely shut off the brain, but I tried to just focus on my breathing for a few minutes. I lit a candle, because, why not? It felt like the right thing to do. Then, I shuffled the deck, thinking about my question. It was a pretty simple “yes” or “no” question about a project I’m working on.
I cut the deck and laid out a single card. Boom. Nine of Cups. Now, I’ve read a bit about this card, and it’s generally seen as a pretty positive one. It’s all about wishes coming true, satisfaction, that kind of stuff. So, my gut reaction was, “Okay, this is a ‘yes’.”
But I didn’t want to just rely on my gut. I grabbed my notebook and started jotting down everything I could think of about the card. I wrote about the imagery: the guy sitting there, all smug and happy, surrounded by his cups. I thought about what cups usually represent in tarot – emotions, feelings, relationships.
- Feeling: The card felt overwhelmingly positive. Like a big, warm hug.
- Imagery: The satisfied expression really stuck with me.
- Intuition: I just kept getting a “yes” vibe from the card.
After scribbling down my notes, I sat back and looked at the card again. I really tried to connect with it, to see if I could feel anything beyond that initial “yes”.
And you know what? The “yes” feeling just got stronger. It wasn’t just a gut feeling anymore. It felt… deeper, somehow. Like the card was really trying to tell me something.
Conclusion of My Little Experiment
So, based on my little experiment, I’d say the Nine of Cups, in my experience, is a pretty solid “yes” card. At least, it was for me today. Of course, I know this isn’t some kind of scientific proof, but it was a pretty cool experience. It definitely made me feel more connected to the cards and the whole process.
