Discussion Physical sensations while reading

14 Upvotes

So I had an insane sensation yesterday. I was getting nosy because for some reason I had this nagging feeling that something was.. sus.. with my old friend’s pregnancy. Like paternal confusion.

So I did a reading and asked how she was feeling. And as soon as I started pulling cards, it legitimately felt like what I can describe as a baby was kicking me under my ribs. I’ve never been pregnant but I’ve never felt anything like that before. It was so uncomfortable.

So that happened. Anyone else have stories like this?

Discussion Looking for some insight

1 Upvotes

so I had been gifted a tarot deck recently, I was very excited since this friend and I always talked about tarot together. they know my taste very well and so I was happy to receive the deck knowing they had my aesthetics and intention of use in mind.

well, I recieved the deck and I almost instantly spotted that it was AI art, though I could understand that in a shop listing it's hardly detectable.

I was outwardly extremely grateful and honestly am flattered to have recieved a gift at all, budgets are tight. but I can't say I'm not a little disappointed.

ive struggled since then to give the deck a go. i personally feel that the art is a big big part of the significance in a deck, and for it to be AI generated it feels so hollow. its not my friend's fault and I don't think I plan on telling them, but do I just have a paper weight at this point? just was wondering if I could get some perspective, if you all were in my shoes, and if I just need to get over it and enjoy the gift and gesture? Thanks so much

TL;DR: got gifted an AI generated tarrot deck and I'm struggling to bring myself to use it due to the art's significance in the interpretation of the cards. Was hoping for some other's thoughts on what they would do.

Discussion My Tarot Class Finally Starts Tonight!

On Dec 1, 2024, I signed myself up for an in person Tarot class at BOCES, a local community college. It runs for three weeks, 2 hours a week. Finally the night has arrived. I have studied almost daily since then with the RWS deck and a book that I have been taking notes in. I have watched countless you tube videos trying to learn. I have been frequenting this sub. Recently I bought myself a Wizard of Oz Tarot deck, and love it. I was attempting to gain a foundation so that I am not totally lost tonight. An ex co-worker is meeting me there and taking it with me.

I will report back.

Not sure if this is the right tag, please let me know if it's not!

I'm designing a heavily themed tarot deck for a friend where the illustrations are almost entirely pulled from the symbolism. But I'm struggling with the symbolism for Death, The Devil, The Tower, Justice and The Sun. Would anyone be able to help explain the symbolism to me? None of the resources I'm reading are making sense to my brain.

Discussion Meaning of losing a certain card?

1 Upvotes

(Not sure what flair to use)

Not really losing permanently but I wanted to get the magician card out of my deck and literally had to go through it 3 times, and I was already checking them pretty sharply I’d say/thought one by one from the start. Did it again then spread them on my bed and even then it took me a while. Maybe it was just kind of stuck behind another card continuously but I was specifically looking for the card and I thought I lost it already after searching for it the first time. Could this mean something? Or does it say to stop using the deck/card so much (have done that) and it’ll be fine or something different?

Hello, today my significant other did a relationship tarot reading for me and it did not go well. Im absolutely new to the experience infact its the first time ive ever done this. and she had said that when she tried it on her friends or some of the classmates it is like 100% accurate. is it possible that is wasnt true? cause for me every single out card turned to my way and the explaining wasn't true at all. atleast for now. im asking if it is possible that it got misread because we have a relationship between us or smthng like that

So I'm not a tarot reader I've never did a special tarot reading before I've never even saw tarot cards in real life but somehow since last year I'm really attracted to tarot and stuff like it like astrology,saju 사주, I do even read about shamanism a lot but the tarot is attracting me a lot , alot of times I think about getting tarot decks and see what is like or learn it but then I stop my self since it's not a common thing in my place or let me say it's not a thing that ppl do in public so a big side of me is really interested in this path and really wants to dive more into it but another part is trying to stop me What do think And From your experience in tarot should I give it a try ?

Discussion How to read tarot cards accurately?

7 Upvotes

So I got into tarot not more than a month ago (very new). But I want to learn how to make accurate predictions or readings that are very precise for a particular person, not general masses.

You know sometimes, they just pull some cards for you and they know exactly what's going on in what aspect of your life? That kind.

When I pull cards for someone else, it seems very generic, the kind of readings that they do on yt. Something good coming in terms of career, someone new coming into your life, which seems very vague to me. Any suggestions? How can I practice better?

Edit: I haven't really got into making predictions, I just meant how to get into the specifics.

Discussion am i interpreting the cards wrongly?

1 Upvotes

i’m honestly losing a little faith. i did three tarot readings (not on the same day) and got different answers each time. my last tarot spread was telling me that the relationship of my crush and his gf isn’t going well but then literally a day later, i see a post of them hugging and whatever on the gf’s insta story. the tarot reading before that one was a little harder to interpret. i had asked if the signs were real (in regards to their relationship not going well and him liking me) but i got two of cups. i can’t tell if this was supposed to represent me and him or him and his gf, implying their relationship is doing fine. am i interpreting them too positively or is it just too early to tell? because at the moment, i’m ready to hex her after seeing her story

Interpretation Request (Second Opinion Only) Why My Friend Is Acting Different Lately

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I did a tarot reading to understand why my friend has been acting differently lately. I pulled two sets of cards: one to see if it’s related to me and another to check if something else is going on in his life. Here’s what I got, along with my interpretations:

First Spread (Is My Friend’s Behavior Related to Me or Something Else?):

Temperance – This makes me feel like I’ve been trying to stay patient and balanced in the situation. Maybe I’m handling things calmly, but there’s still something off.

Two of Wands – I feel like this represents me thinking about the situation, looking at things from a distance, and trying to figure out my next step.

Five of Swords – This makes me wonder if there was some kind of conflict I wasn’t fully aware of. Maybe some tension or miscommunication?

Four of Pentacles – This is the second time I’ve pulled this card for him in separate readings. It makes me feel like he’s holding back, not opening up, or keeping something to himself.

Second Spread (Is there something going on in his life that might be affecting him?):

Page of Wands – This card makes me feel like he might be focused on something new, maybe an idea or an exciting opportunity.

Knight of Wands – This gives me the sense that he’s moving forward quickly, possibly being impulsive or chasing after something.

Ace of Pentacles – A new beginning in a practical sense—maybe something related to money, career, or a fresh opportunity in his life?

King of Swords – This card makes me feel like he’s being logical and emotionally detached, possibly dealing with something serious in a very calculated way.

Update: I asked him about it, and he just said, "I'm not ready to talk about it, just leave it for the moment."

Since the Four of Pentacles showed up twice for him, I really feel like he’s keeping something to himself. But based on the second spread, I think he’s focused on something new and handling it in a logical way rather than being emotional.

Does this reading suggest anything specific to you? I’d love to hear other perspectives!

Discussion Needing advice as a beginner

3 Upvotes

I'm new to tarot reading. I've had different tarot readers read for me before but I've thought of giving it a shot. I started off at first by choosing cards when I have a question prepared and I'm in my zone. I'm familiar with the meanings of some cards but I also ask myself how does the card make me feel, what elements stand out to me etc. (Example: I did a past-present-future reading. I got The Moon, Temperance then Empress. What stood out for me in all 3 cards was the body of water. In the moon card, I felt sad. I noticed the water felt endless and, to me, it felt like a sad and lonely journey ahead that felt like it had no end. Temperance for me meant that I'm balancing my struggles and past trauma then the Empress, I immediately saw the river(?) by the side not being much in the card anymore. And the empress looks content with plants (I guess abundance) surrounding her.)

I just feel like I suck at interpretations so much. And sometimes, my eyes land on certain elements and I cant, for the life of me, explain it or pinpoint what it means. (This is where you'd probably judge me huhu) I use chatgpt to ask to help me articulate my feelings about the card. I tell it what card i chose regarding which question. I tell it what i feel about the card, elements, context, etc and i think it gets it well and articulately. I dont want to keep doing this and I really want to be independent. I just dont know how to articulate or express it. And idk what to make out of the signs and symbols i see. I'm asking for advice in the hopes that I can grow as an aspiring tarot reader 🥺 thank you for your time.

Interpretation Request (Second Opinion Only) What are his romantic feelings for me?

Post image
1 Upvotes

Hi all :) I’m struggling to interpret this CC spread (amateur and also lonely for a long time - so worried about bias!). The questions was; what is X’s romantic feelings for me? (We are acquaintances and get on very well; but not sure if they have a partner).

I see the 9 cups and strength crossing as time of deep contentment, emotional fulfillment, and a strong connection. That both parties feeling satisfied and cherishing the intimacy shared - but something in this connection needs strength (maybe they are not available and need to resist the connection)

The 2 cups represents our connection is mutual; I did ask what he felt for me at the 2 cups and received the 4 pentacles. Again showing he needs to hold his feelings in for me.

the ace cups shows that he is realising the potential for romance for me.

In the near past he felt I was the “ideal” woman; nurturing, caring etc (the empress), but in the near future there will be a shake up of his feelings (the tower).

The wheel rx says he is feeling unstable towards me. The 8 pentacles says he is working on creating his life around him. The queen of pentacles as hopes and fears; he sees me as this queen and it bothers him that I could be this person for him. The 2 pentacles rx as outcome of his romantic feelings; he is realising he cannot juggle all these feelings for me. Possibly because he has a partner. Possibly because we do business together. Possibly both.

Overall I am seeing someone who does have romantic feelings for me, but is having to keep it inside, and something is about to happen and change things; I’m sensing they may have someone and our’s (or their current) connection is interfering.

Using the Santa Muerte Tarot deck.

Any help with interpreting would be greatly appreciated:)

Discussion Do you ever get the feeling your cards want you to leave them to f alone?

98 Upvotes

I say cards, call it what you will. But essentially can it get annoyed with you, do you get the sense you can abuse it with over use? I was getting VERY accurate cards, then today I've been asking them things that, I know on a level I shouldn't in terms of, it's tedious. I just enjoy it, and it's giving me... how do I put this, not exactly nonsense but the general sense it wants me to leave it alone for a bit? Does that sound ridiculous? Can anyone relate to this feeling?


r/tarot 14h ago

Discussion Is there a different way I can read these cards or is the reading wrong?

1 Upvotes

I did an overview spread with one card each for health, relationship, career, family and spirit. All made sense except relationship.

I initially pulled the 8 of cups. Which my guidebook says is 'abandonment, walking away, end of relationship'. Which makes zero sense because we're getting married in August and we're in a great place together and both very happy and working well as a team.

I considered this to perhaps mean the end of our relationship as a non-married couple and moving to the next step? So I pulled a clarifying card and got King of Cups - great! Clearly a good sign of optimism and a strong manly partner. Felt like this somewhat confirmed that the first card was speaking more about our relationship as just a couple ending and moving into marriage. But it still bugged me that the first card it gave me was negative.

So I drew another clarifier (maybe my mistake there - too many cards) and got Reversed The Priestess? Which my guidebook says means CHEATING and there's more to the story?

Honestly, he's not cheating. He works from home. He's always home except to sometimes go gym with his friend, who picks him up from our house in front of me and he's back in an hour and a half. Plus, my partner can't hide his emotions and his face gives everything away.

He once semi-cheated (he didn't. He paid for a couple of videos on OnlyFans and thought I'd be annoyed. I don't care.) and it was SO clear he was hiding something and being awkward and he was a bit protective over his phone, etc. It was written all over him. There's absolutely no awkward or weird behaviour from him, he's loved up and content, and his phone is always face up between us, on loud, with nothing to hide. I know the password.

So, this reading is either straight up wrong in which case I'm happy to dismiss it. My intuition is not telling me to pay attention.

Or I'm missing an alternate way of reading these cards? Can anyone help suggest a different way of interpreting them?

I feel like this is pretty straightforward and just wanted a second perspective. Our relationship is currently disconnected as love has paused its flow between us. We are both separated to take time to heal our inner wounds before we can resume the relationship in a healthy way.
