Okay, so I’ve been messing around with tarot cards for a while now, and I gotta say, the Queen of Swords, especially when it’s reversed, can be a real head-scratcher. Today, I decided to really dive into it and see what kind of advice I could pull from it. I mean, we all need a little guidance sometimes, right?
So, I started my day like I usually do – shuffled my deck, focused on what I needed some clarity on, and pulled a card. And bam! Queen of Swords reversed. My first thought was, “Oh great, what kind of drama is this gonna be?” I’ve learned that a reversed Queen of Swords can sometimes point to being overly critical, maybe a bit cold, or even manipulative. Not exactly the vibe I was going for.
I spent some time really thinking about the card. I grabbed my favorite tarot journal and just started jotting down my thoughts. The first thing I did was to look at where in my life I might be acting, well, like a reversed Queen of Swords. Am I being too hard on myself? Am I shutting people out? Am I letting my emotions get the better of my judgment?
My reflection
- Was I too quick to judge that new colleague’s idea in the meeting yesterday? Ouch. Probably.
- Did I shut down my partner’s suggestion for date night without really considering it? Yep, guilty.
- Am I pushing myself too hard, refusing to give in, and getting exhausted? Sure did.
After identifying some “reversed” actions, I start to make changes accordingly.
- Apologized to my new colleague and make some suggestions.
- Make an appointment with my partner and cook a romantic dinner.
- Sleep earlier and get up early for at least 8 hours a day.
It wasn’t easy, honestly. It felt a bit like admitting I wasn’t perfect, which, you know, is tough for anyone. But the more I thought about it, the more I realized that this card, even reversed, wasn’t a bad thing. It was just a nudge, a little tap on the shoulder saying, “Hey, check yourself before you wreck yourself,” you know?
So, I decided to flip the script. Instead of seeing the reversed Queen of Swords as a negative, I saw it as a chance to grow. I worked on being more mindful of my words and actions. I tried to be more open to other people’s perspectives. I focused on being kinder, both to myself and to others.
And you know what? It actually felt pretty good. It was like lifting a weight off my shoulders. It’s not like everything magically became perfect overnight, but I definitely felt a shift. I felt more connected to the people around me, and I felt more at peace with myself.
So, my takeaway from this little Queen of Swords reversed adventure? Even the “scary” cards in tarot can be powerful tools for self-reflection and growth. It’s all about how you choose to interpret them and what you decide to do with that information. It’s a journey, not a destination, and I’m definitely still learning. But today, I learned a little bit more about myself, and that’s always a win.
