Muse tarot deck

Hey! That’s super common, especially if you’re in a reflective or emotional space when pulling cards. Tarot tends to mirror our energy, so if your mind is stuck on the past, the cards will pick up on that.

To focus on what’s ahead, try this:

• Set a clear intention. Before shuffling, say (out loud or in your head) something like, "Show me what’s coming next, not what has already happened."
• Change your wording. Instead of asking "What’s going on?" try "What do I need to know about my future in love/career/etc.?"
• Pull a “past-present-future” spread. This gives space for what happened but also shows where things are headed.
• Use a clarifier for “what’s next.” If you pull a card that feels like the past, ask, "Okay, what’s the next step from here?" and draw another.

The Muse Tarot is really intuitive and creative, so let it guide you! Sometimes, the past shows up because it still needs to be processed before the future can unfold.

Great question! The Muse Tarot has such a unique vibe, and sometimes it can feel like it’s just reflecting what’s already happened instead of giving you insight into what’s next. If that’s happening, it might have more to do with how you’re framing your questions or the energy you’re bringing into the reading.

Try These Tips to Get Future-Focused Readings:
Be Clear With Your Question
Instead of asking something open-ended like “What’s going on?”, try wording it in a way that directs the cards toward the future. For example:
What should I focus on moving forward?
What’s the next step for me in this situation?
What’s coming up in my love/career/personal growth journey?

Set Your Intention While Shuffling
Take a deep breath, clear your mind, and focus on what you want to know. If you feel like your readings keep pulling past energy, say (out loud or in your head), "I want insight on what’s ahead, not what’s behind me."

Use a Spread That Points Forward
Some spreads naturally pull past energy, so if you want to focus on what’s ahead, try:
Past - Present - Future (to show what’s shifting)
Next Steps Spread:

Card 1: Energy I’m leaving behind
Card 2: Energy I’m stepping into
Card 3: My best next step
Pay Attention to the Deck’s Energy
The Muse Tarot is super creative and intuitive, so sometimes it picks up on deeper emotional themes before jumping ahead. If it’s stuck on past stuff, it might be signaling that there’s something you still need to acknowledge or release before moving forward.

Keep a Journal
Writing down your readings can help you spot patterns. Sometimes what seems like a past-focused reading is actually showing you a lesson that’s about to repeat—so the cards might be nudging you to handle it differently this time.

If the past still keeps showing up, try asking: "How can I move forward instead of staying stuck?" That might help shift the reading’s focus.

Hope this helps! Let me know if you try any of these and what works for you.
