Okay, so today I tried out this “5 card love spread” thing with my tarot deck. I’ve been feeling a bit all over the place with my relationship lately, so I figured, why not?
First, I cleared my space. I lit a candle, put on some chill music, and just took a few deep breaths to get centered. It’s important to have a calm vibe, you know?
The Setup
Then, I shuffled my deck while focusing on my relationship and the questions I had. I wasn’t looking for anything specific, more like general guidance. Once I felt ready, I laid out the cards in the 5-card spread pattern.
- Card 1: Me in the relationship.
- Card 2: My partner in the relationship.
- Card 3: The dynamics between us.
- Card 4: Challenges or obstacles.
- Card 5: Potential outcome or advice.
My Reading
Here’s what I pulled, and how I felt about each card, keeping it super simple:
- Card 1 (Me): The Empress. Okay, I took this as a good sign! It made me think about nurturing the relationship and myself. I’ve been working to become more nurturing.
- Card 2 (Partner): The Knight of Cups. This felt like it represents my partner’s emotional side, maybe a bit of idealism. Seemed pretty spot-on.
- Card 3 (Dynamics): The Lovers. Major card! Always a bit intense. I interpreted this as representing choices and the need for open communication. It will depend on what we choose for the future.
- Card 4 (Challenges): Three of Swords. Ouch. This one’s about heartbreak, conflict, and tough conversations. Kinda resonated with some recent arguments.
- Card 5 (Outcome/Advice): Strength. Inner strength, courage, and compassion. I think I need to take charge.
Final thought
Honestly, the Three of Swords was a bit of a downer, but the Strength card at the end felt hopeful. It reminded me that even if things are tough, I have the inner resources to navigate them.
This spread helped me organize my thought about our future.
I’m not saying the cards gave me all the answers, but they definitely gave me a framework to think about things. It’s like a little nudge in a certain direction. I’ll probably journal about this a bit more to see what else comes up.
