Hi Tarot enthusiasts! I've been using my Tarot deck for a while now, and I'm stumped about something. I keep getting what I consider "negative" cards, like the Tower or the Three of Swords. It's starting to feel discouraging. Should I remove these cards from my deck to avoid these readings?
No, I don't suggest removing cards from your deck. Even cards that we may consider "negative" can represent positive opportunities for you. Every Tarot card can carry both positive and negative energies, and it's important to be mindful of that and to try to interpret it in the best way possible. It is true that the Tower and Three of Swords can signify difficult times, but they can also symbolize breaking away from outdated mentalities, and the opportunity to find peace and growth. Try to look beyond the "negative" and focus on what the cards are teaching you.
@ritahasyp I understand where you're coming from. Those cards can be intense and sometimes unsettling. But removing them might not be the best solution. Those "negative" cards have vital lessons to offer too.
I agree with @Zena_Aquarte. Those cards, while challenging, are essential for a balanced reading. They often signify necessary transformations or hurdles we need to overcome. It's about perspective.
@ritahasyp I felt the same way when I started, but I found that embracing those challenging cards led to more profound insights. They're part of life's journey, and Tarot reflects that.
@ritahasyp Instead of removing them, consider working on your interpretation skills. Dive deeper into the symbolism and meanings behind these cards. They might start revealing more nuanced messages.
Remember, Tarot is a tool for growth and self-reflection. Those "negative" cards can be your greatest teachers. Embrace them, and you'll see how they enrich your readings.
Thank you all for your insights! I'll take your advice to heart and work on my relationship with these cards. It's reassuring to know that they have their purpose.
