Okay, so the other day I was messing around with my tarot deck, you know, just doing a simple yes/no reading. I’ve been kinda on the fence about this new project idea, and I figured, why not let the cards guide me a bit? I’m no tarot expert, but I enjoy the ritual of it all.
So, I shuffled the deck, really focusing on my question: “Should I pursue this new project?” I cut the deck, like I always do, and flipped over the top card. Boom. Princess of Swords.
Now, I’ve pulled the Princess of Swords before, but usually in more complex spreads. I know it’s all about new ideas, curiosity, and communication. But as a straight-up yes or no answer? I was a little stumped. I mean, it’s not a clear “yes” like, say, the Sun card, but it’s not a definitive “no” either.
I grabbed my go-to tarot guidebook (I always keep it handy!). It talked about the Princess of Swords being a “maybe” card, leaning more towards “yes” if you’re ready to put in the work, do your research, and communicate your ideas clearly. It’s not a guaranteed success, more like a “go for it, but be smart about it” kind of vibe.
I sat there for a bit, staring at the card. The Princess is all about mental energy, right? She’s got that sword, representing the power of intellect and communication. I thought about my project and how much planning and talking to people it would involve. It definitely resonated.
Here’s what I figured: the Princess of Swords wasn’t giving me a free pass. It wasn’t saying, “Yes, absolutely, no problem!” It was more like, “Yes, if you’re prepared to use your brain, plan things out, and communicate effectively.”
So, I took it as an encouraging sign. Not a guarantee, but a push in the right direction. I decided I would start mapping out the project, doing some preliminary research, and talking to a few trusted friends to get their feedback. The Princess of Swords reminded me that it’s not just about having a good idea, but also about the mental effort and communication needed to bring it to life. I felt it was important I embrace all aspects.
