Okay, so I’ve been messing around with tarot cards lately, just for fun, you know? And today, I pulled the “Mother of Wands Reversed.” I was like, “Alright, let’s see what this is all about.” I’m no expert, but I do like to keep a little journal of my pulls and what I think they mean in my life at that moment.
So, first, I grabbed my deck and shuffled it a few times, really trying to focus on what was going on in my head. Work’s been kinda crazy, and I’ve been feeling a little all over the place. I cut the deck, and boom, there it was – Mother of Wands, but upside down.
My First Impressions
- Feeling Scattered: I instantly felt like this card was mirroring my current state. Like, I’m usually pretty on top of things, but lately, I’ve been dropping balls left and right.
- Lack of Confidence: This card, to me, kinda screamed “self-doubt.” I’ve been questioning my decisions a lot more than usual.
- Creative Block: I also associate the Wands suit with creativity, and being reversed, it felt like my creative juices were totally blocked.
Digging a Little Deeper
I decided to do a little quick research, just to see what the “official” meanings are. I found that, yeah, it can mean insecurity, being disorganized, and even feeling jealous or pessimistic. Ouch, that hit a little close to home. I think it relates to my state of mind very much.
Making it Personal
I then asked myself, “Okay, how does this apply to my life right now?” I jotted down some thoughts in my journal:
- Work Projects: I’ve been procrastinating on a big project, and this card is definitely calling me out on it.
- Personal Relationships: Maybe I’m not being the best friend/partner I could be because I’m so focused on my own anxieties.
- Self-Care: I’ve totally been neglecting my usual routines, like exercise and meditation, which usually help me stay grounded.
The Takeaway
So, after spending some time with this card, I realized it wasn’t a “bad” card, but more of a wake-up call. It showed me where I need to refocus my energy and get back on track. I decided to make a little action plan:
- Tackle that work project, one step at a time.
- Reach out to friends and really show up for them.
- Get back to my yoga practice, even if it’s just for 15 minutes a day.
It’s just a card, I know, but sometimes these little things can help you see things from a different perspective. I think, for now, I must be my best self, so that I can get back to my confidence and energy, just like the Mother of Wands should be. I may continue to record my progress in the future.
