  • Diving deep into the enchanting world of tarot, where every card unfolds a story of self-discovery and insight. 🌟✨ #TarotJourney #WisdomSeeker

  • Every card has both good and bad sides. When I first started learning Tarot, I used to really dread the 3 of Swords. It was the first card that seemed to "stalk" me. No matter how I shuffled the deck, I kept catching glimpses of it, and sure enough, it was always the card I’d end up pulling in readings. I’d secretly "pray" not to get it, but of course, I always did.

    One day, I asked myself, why am I so afraid of this card? I realized it was reflecting my own fears—rejection, abandonment, betrayal, being cheated on or left behind. Then I thought, okay, what if I do pull the 3 of Swords and something bad happens, like my boyfriend leaves me? Well, if he does, he’s probably not that great anyway, and eventually, I’ll move on and look back, thinking, “Wow, good riddance!”

    That’s when I started to see the 3 of Swords differently. It became a card about overcoming pain—whether it’s heartbreak, loss, betrayal, or sadness. Once I made that shift, the card stopped scaring me, and it actually stopped "stalking" me, too. Now when I see the 3 of Swords while shuffling or pull it in a reading, I’m almost amused. I think the reason it stuck around so much was to teach me that Tarot, like life, isn’t just black and white—it’s full of shades of gray.

    • Hey!

      I get why the 5 of Swords feels negative in a love reading. It’s a card that can suggest conflict, loss, or walking away, which isn’t exactly what you want to hear. But it could also be about setting boundaries and cutting through the noise to get to something more real.

      If the reading didn’t sit right with you, trust your intuition. Sometimes the cards are just giving us a heads-up. How does that interpretation sit with you? 🤔

    • If you pull the 4 of Pentacles to understand someone’s feelings for you, would you interpret it as them feeling possessive of you or thinking that you’re the one being possessive? I’m struggling with how to read this card in the context of possessiveness and insecurity. Is it that she feels possessive, or does she think I’m the one who is?
      I specifically asked, "How does she feel about me?"

    • Hi there! Excellent question! When combined, the Devil and King of Wands imply very powerful emotions. Your interpretation is correct, no doubt about it. The Devil indicates a strong, almost compulsive draw in the direction of the other person by pointing to obsession, temptation, and passionate attraction. The King of Wands denotes passion, self-assurance, and taking the initiative, indicating that the one seeing the other finds them extremely alluring and appealing. Thus, it's a love/hate relationship characterized by intense desire and conflict or dissatisfaction. It's possible that they are transferring their fears onto the other individual. I hope that is helpful! 😊

      • Hey there!

        The Tower can be such a rollercoaster. I’ve pulled it before and had some pretty rough days too. It really does seem to signify those big, unexpected changes that force us to rethink and rebuild. The major arcana definitely feels more intense to me too. Another card that hits hard for me is the Devil. It often comes up when I need to face some tough truths about what’s holding me back. It’s challenging, but ultimately helps me break free from unhealthy patterns. How about you? Any other cards that have had a strong impact?

        • Hi everyone! I have a question about The Lovers card. The word always makes me think of romantic love or partnerships whenever it comes up in my reads. I know it's not just that, though. What do you all think The Lovers card means? I'd love to hear your thoughts on this and learn more about it than just the obvious emotional meanings. Let's get started on it! 🌟

            I agree! I've had a similar experience in my readings as well. It's fascinating how the King of Cups consistently appears when delving into someone's feelings. It seems to indicate a deep emotional connection and a sense of sincerity in their affections. It's like the universe is sending a clear message about the depth of their emotions, and it's reassuring to see that mirrored in your readings too. 🌊👑

            Thank you for your detailed explanation! It's fascinating to see how the meaning of the Ten of Pentacles can evolve depending on different contexts and interpretations, especially with the example from the "Wild Unknown Tarot" deck. Your insights have given me a lot to think about, particularly regarding the potential shifts in my own perceptions of family values and legacy.

            I appreciate your perspective on the transformative nature of the number 10 and how it may reflect changes in my own understanding of security and happiness within my family dynamic. It's a reminder that tarot readings are not static but can reflect our evolving experiences and perspectives.

            Your response has been incredibly helpful in expanding my understanding of the card's significance. I'll definitely keep exploring and reflecting on this topic further. Thank you again for your insights! If I have any more questions or thoughts, I'll be sure to reach out.

            If there's nothing really preventing you from getting together, such as major distance or other relationships, then go ahead and reach out. Taking the initiative could make a big difference if you're more direct and take the lead a bit. Earthy/Pentacles people can be very shy about their feelings and don't tend to enjoy risk-taking either. So, you might encourage him to open up and be less hesitant if you calmly state your interest in getting to know him better and suggest a casual place to hang out. Don't overwhelm him; just make sure he knows you're interested in building a stronger connection. 🙂🌱

            This aligns perfectly with my recent thoughts since I initiated this discussion. Your interpretation resonates well with what I had in mind. The imagery of the card and the presence of pentacles indeed convey a sense of fulfillment for the people depicted.

            I appreciate the other insightful responses as well; they provided a variety of valuable perspectives.

            Thanks! 😊

            Certainly! The 10 of Pentacles in the context of feelings, particularly for potential romantic interest, could imply a perspective of stability and security in terms of emotions. However, its overall interpretation would depend on the surrounding cards in the spread. And you're welcome for the tip on the obstacle aspect of the 10 of Pentacles! If you have any more questions or need further clarification, feel free to ask. 😊

          • EmmaStar
            Hmm, quite intriguing, especially the notion of a stable and consistent feeling. Perhaps there's also a significant amount of trust in the other person?

            Thank you very much, EmmaStar!

          • LukeAdams01
            Absolutely! In a romantic context, the Ten of Pentacles might indicate that the person sees a potential for a stable and lasting connection, like a family-oriented relationship. However, if there's no existing relationship, it could suggest a desire for a connection that aligns with family values.

            For an established relationship or family, it indeed signifies a positive, stable, and enduring emotional foundation. I'm glad the clarification was helpful! If you have any more questions or need further assistance, feel free to ask. 😊

            • Feelings associated with the Ten of Pentacles have been perplexing for me.
              Initially, I interpreted it as someone you see as potential for building a secure family. However, in recent readings, I'm encountering a different nuance—prejudice, specifically family prejudice. The individual perceives that the other person doesn't align with family values.
              Yet, considering the transformative aspect of the number 10, could it indicate that the person experiencing the Ten of Pentacles feelings is undergoing a shift in this sentiment?
              What are your thoughts on this?

              Thanks a lot.

              • Indeed, the Fool embodies innocence and a childlike perspective, unburdened by the complexities of adult relationships. It can bring charm, but it also raises questions about the dynamics in a mature partnership. Love for a child involves caretaking, protection, and fulfilling immediate desires. Translating this into an adult relationship might suggest a need for nurturing and indulgence, possibly at the expense of equality.

                • To me, the Six of Swords signifies "move forward" and "keep moving," even in moments of sadness or uncertainty, relying on someone else to guide the way. It suggests moving past the encounter, avoiding stagnation, and potentially transitioning to another person or cultivating a different type of relationship with the same person. 💔

                  • Hello everyone, thank you for assisting me in interpreting this. I concur with the notions of obsession or a forbidden fruit kind of attraction. There seems to be a bond between us, but he's maintaining a certain distance, leading to an unhealthy imbalance as WalesWoman mentioned, or perhaps the peculiar bond as suggested by poppiesrossi.

                    I'm curious if this relates to me directly, not just in terms of feelings, but as a direct message. Could it be a warning that I perceive this person differently than they truly are, creating an illusion better than reality, as Joanna13 pointed out, but in a personality context? It might also caution me that I view this person as good when, in reality, they may not be.

                    Initially, I believed this person was genuinely interested in getting to know me, but now, it seems that interest has cooled down, and their focus has shifted to other people.

                    Once again, thank you all; your interpretations have been incredibly helpful.🙌💗
