Find Your Path: Get Clarity with Tarot Readings for Planning Long-Term Goals!

Okay, so, I’ve been thinking a lot about my long-term goals lately. You know, the big stuff, like where I want to be in five or ten years. It’s kind of overwhelming, right? So, I decided to try something a little different to help me figure things out: tarot readings.

Yeah, I know, it might sound a bit “woo-woo” to some people, but hear me out. I wasn’t looking for some magical fortune-telling thing. I was more interested in using the cards as a tool for self-reflection, a way to tap into my intuition and maybe see things from a different perspective.

First, I had to actually get a deck of tarot cards. I went to this cute little shop and they had tons of cards. Then I needed to learn how to do a reading. There are a bunch of free resources online, so I spent a few days just reading and watching videos, trying to get the hang of it.

Pick a quiet time

I found a quiet time and space where I could focus. I wanted it to be peaceful so I could actually hear myself think. So first, I made sure my phone was on silent, the room was tidy, and I had a notebook and pen ready. I wanted to record my thoughts and impressions.

Next, I started shuffling the cards. I did this while I thought about my long-term goals. I asked myself questions like, “What do I really want to achieve?” and “What’s important to me in the long run?” I just let the questions roll around in my mind as I shuffled.

Three cards

Then, I pulled three cards. Three cards reading is one of the common ways. I laid them out in a row and took a moment to look at them. Each card has its own meaning, but it’s also about how they relate to each other and to the questions I was asking.

I started taking notes. I jotted down the first things that came to mind when I saw each card, any images or symbols that stood out. Then I tried to connect them to my goals. For example, one card might represent a challenge I need to overcome, while another might symbolize a strength I can rely on.

• Card 1: The first card was all about new beginnings and potential. It made me think about the importance of being open to new opportunities and not being afraid to start something fresh.
• Card 2: The second card was a bit more challenging. It represented obstacles and the need for perseverance. This one reminded me that achieving my goals won’t always be easy, and I’ll need to stay focused and determined.
• Card 3: The last card was really positive. It symbolized success and fulfillment. It gave me a sense of hope and reassurance that if I put in the work, I can achieve what I set out to do.

After I wrote everything down, I spent some time just reflecting on what I’d written. It was interesting to see how the cards sparked certain thoughts and feelings. It wasn’t like they magically gave me all the answers, but they did help me to clarify what I wanted and what I needed to do to get there.

Now, I know this isn’t some scientific method, but it was a surprisingly helpful exercise. It felt good to take some time to really think about my goals and to approach them in a different way. I plan to do this again in a few months, just to check in with myself and see how my thoughts and feelings might have evolved.

So, if you’re feeling a bit lost or overwhelmed when it comes to your long-term goals, maybe give tarot readings a try. It might not be for everyone, but it could be a fun and insightful way to get some clarity and direction. You never know what you might discover about yourself!
