Okay, so today I wanted to mess around with tarot cards and see what they had to say about my feelings. I picked “Empress reversed as feelings” as my topic. Honestly, I’ve been feeling a bit off lately, so I figured, why not?
First, I grabbed my deck and gave it a good shuffle. I like to think of it as “waking up” the cards. Then, I spread them out face down on my table. I took a deep breath, tried to clear my head, and focused on the question: “What are my feelings right now?” I pulled one card, and boom – Empress, but reversed.
Digging into the meaning
Initially, I was like, “Huh, what does that even mean?” I’m no tarot expert, just a regular person, playing for fun, and for an exercise. I remembered I could search this, and so did I find a bunch of stuff about the reversed Empress.
- Insecurity: This hit home. I’ve been feeling super insecure lately, doubting myself in almost everything. Work, relationships, even small stuff like what to wear. It’s been exhausting.
- Greed: I wouldn’t say I’m greedy for money, but maybe greedy for validation? I found myself constantly checking my phone for likes and comments, feeling a little empty when there weren’t any.
I sat there for a while, just letting it all sink in. It’s kind of freaky how accurate it felt. The description of “worrying too much” and letting “depression sink in” felt sadly relatable. I’ve been struggling to stay positive, and it’s definitely impacting my energy levels.
Final thoughts of my process
Pulling the reversed Empress wasn’t exactly a “fun” experience, but it was helpful. It put words to feelings I hadn’t fully acknowledged. So, I decided not to fight the feeling but record it, I’m taking this as a sign to be kinder to myself and to stop chasing external validation. I even made a quick record on my social media, and I plan to do more research on other card combinations, maybe it will help me see patterns!
