Yesterday, I tried a Tarot reading. I got the Ace of Swords and Ace of Cups, which I thought was pretty interesting.
First, I picked up my tarot deck and gave it a good shuffle. I was thinking about what I wanted some clarity on while I did this. Then, I spread the cards out in front of me and focused on my intention. I felt drawn to two cards in particular, so I picked them up.
I laid the two cards down, side by side. The first one was the Ace of Swords. It has this picture of a hand holding a sword, pointing upwards. It felt like a sign of something new, something sharp and clear. Then there was the Ace of Cups, with a hand holding a cup that’s overflowing. This one felt all about feelings and new starts in that area.

Ace of Swords
I looked closer at the Ace of Swords. The sword was shining, and it looked ready for action. It got me thinking about new ideas, or maybe a new way of thinking that I needed to start.

Ace of Cups
Next, I turned to the Ace of Cups. The water was pouring out of the cup, like a never-ending stream of emotions. It made me consider what new feelings or relationships might be coming my way.
Putting them together, I start seeing a connection. Maybe it’s about having both clear thoughts and open-hearted feelings. I spent some time thinking about how these two things work together in my life right now. It felt like the cards were telling me to balance my mind and my heart, to be ready to face challenges with clarity, and to embrace new emotional experiences with courage.
After the reading, I wrote down my thoughts in my journal. I noted the symbols on the cards and what they made me feel. It was cool to see how they sparked so many ideas and insights. It’s like they gave me a nudge to look at things in a different way.
This whole thing was a good reminder that sometimes, you just need to stop and listen to what your inner self is trying to tell you. The cards were just a tool to help me do that, and honestly, I found it pretty awesome.
