Okay, so today I decided to mess around with tarot cards again, specifically focusing on the Justice card. I’ve been feeling a bit off-kilter lately, like decisions are weighing me down, so I figured, why not? Maybe the cards could offer some, you know, guidance.
First, I cleared my space. I’m not super ritualistic about it, but I do like to light a candle and just kind of… breathe for a minute. Makes me feel a little less scattered. I shuffled the deck, thinking about the general sense of “What do I need to know about fairness and balance in my life right now?” Not a specific question, more of an open-ended vibe.
I laid out a simple three-card spread – past, present, future. Pretty basic, I know, but it usually gives me something to chew on. And wouldn’t you know it, Justice popped up right there in the present position.
I stared at that card for a good long while. You know the one – lady with a sword and scales, looking all serious and impartial. I thought about what’s been going on in my life – some work stuff, a minor disagreement with a friend, you know, the usual. Nothing major, but enough to make me feel like things were a little… unbalanced.
- Past: I pulled The Lovers, which, in this context, seemed to suggest a past decision, a choice I made that maybe I was second-guessing.
- Present: Justice. Yep. Right there, staring me in the face.
- Future: The Star. This one felt hopeful, like a sense of renewed clarity and guidance was coming.
So, I grabbed my well-worn tarot journal (it’s just a regular notebook, really) and started jotting down some thoughts. I used some starter question to record my thought:
Is there a situation where I feel like I’m not being heard?
If that’s the case, how to keep truth in my mind?
Am I being totally honest with myself about my role in this situation?
Do I think others are right or wrong?
What does “fairness” even look like in this context?
What am I expecting from other people involved?
I didn’t come up with any earth-shattering revelations, but the act of just thinking about these things, prompted by the Justice card, was helpful. The Star in the future position gave me a little boost, too. It felt like a reminder that even if things are a bit murky now, clarity is possible.
I put the cards away, blew out the candle, and, honestly, I felt a little lighter. It’s not magic, but it’s a good way to tap into my own intuition and get a different perspective. Maybe I’ll check in with the cards again in a week or so, see if anything’s shifted.
