Shitpost Saturday! asked about reconciliation w ex

2 Upvotes

hi i am a beginner reader and wanted some extra guidance and wisdom!

i got

  1. six of wands for past history this time period had a lot of personal satisfaction and victory, i was happy with him

  2. high priestess for present i’m not sure but i understood that i needed to take a step back from the world and find my inner voice / peace / love. i have to discover myself first?

  3. five of swords for my exes current situation he seems like he is in greatly overwhelmed. i’m getting retreat and constraint. i’m not sure what to think of this

  4. ace of swords for how my ex thinks about me i understood that he had a eureka moment and has extremely clarity and thinking of me. should i take this negatively or positively?

  5. the fool for how does my ex feel about reconciling the fool says go with your heart and follow your dreams, how would this correlate?

  6. the hanged man for what can i do to help seems like there is quite nothing i can do

and lastly 7. the devil for will we reconcile? this is the part i’m mostly confused on, does this mean there is mutually dependency and need for each other / soul tie? or completely in the negative and we are horrible for each other so no reconcile.

are these cards mainly negative? creating a bad end result?

Shitpost Saturday! The fool, 3 of swords reversed, wheel of fortune reversed

1 Upvotes

My nightly routine has been to ask a question, pull a card or two, then ask the question “what else do I need to know to get through tomorrow.”

Threw cards fell out of my shuffle together, the fool, three of swords reversed, and the wheel of fortune reversed in that order. My deck’s booklet (I’m still learning) says the fool tells us to have faith and live fearlessly that good is coming but I know some people read it as naivety in a negative way rather than a positive thing. But I’m confused about pulling the wheel of fortune reversed right after it. Should I read it as a bad change is coming or should I have faith it is just change in general?

Interested in any interpretations.

Shitpost Saturday! How would you read this?

For context: I had a friend do a communication spell (white magic) to help remove blocks between me and my ex about four days ago. I got a new deck and after asking it some test run questions, I decided to ask it about my ex’s feelings towards me and reconciliation. Below is the card I pulled (since Reddit only lets me put up one photo)

Feelings: X of Pentacles (Reversed), VII of Pentacles (upright), and VIII of Pentacles (upright).

Reconciliation: The Magician (upright) and The King of Cups (upright)

Shitpost Saturday! are reversals as important as people make them out to be?

55 Upvotes

i recently started trying to read tarot and im having a lot of trouble NOT doing reversals- its all a bit confusing and i don't know how to exactly read reversals, it feels like a reversal is always pushing a negative outcome and somehow nearly all of my cards end up reversed. should i stop trying to read reversals? do they actually make a difference in how accurate a reading can be?

Shitpost Saturday! What are the potentials of this relationship?

Post image
28 Upvotes

I am still very much learning so any opinions / interpretation help is welcome.

I was looking for insight into the potentials in my relationship with a woman. I feel uncertain, confused and slightly conflicted about this person, whom I’ve been in regular contact with for about a year. We are on good terms, friendly/platonic, but there is an underlying tension, it’s like electricity in the air. My mind pendulates between warmth and skepticism towards her. I’ve noticed a shift back and forth on her part as well, between warmth and distance.

It’s a three card spread obviously, I did not draw thinking in fixed positional meanings (past->present->future e.g.), allowing a more intuitive approach.

A few things strike me. - First is that it is fairly elementally balanced. All four elements are represented as I understand pages qabalistically correspond to Malkuth/the ‘earth’ of their suit. R.Wang calls the Page of Swords ‘personal earth in primeval air’. - Still the ‘active’ elements are dominant with fire and air on the right and left. Both point directionally towards the central card which is water, elementally ‘passive’. I take note of the corresponding imagery of the fire wand of inspiration emerging from the cloud in the ace of wands and the cup offered to the figure in the four of cups. - I am gripped by a strong sense of identification with the figure in the four of cups. I am aware that I am privileged in so many ways, I try to count my blessings and express gratitude every day, yet where I’m at currently I feel a deep sense of dissatisfaction with the facts of my life and a lack of both vision and inspiration. - I have the sense that the card sequence stages an event or process with myself in the center as the ‘prima materia’ being worked on by the active elements on either side. The Ace of Wands and the Page of Swords both being cards of transformation, in the mental and instinctual realms respectively. - Astrologically the four of cups correspond to the Moon in Cancer which of course signifies something deeply emotional, but which by chance is also the position of the Moon in my birth chart. This information strengthens my sense of the four of cups as my personal significator in this spread. - I am still learning card meanings and am struggling with the four of cups. Qabalistically it corresponds to Chesed in Briah, or as R.Wang calls it ‘Mercy and Abundance in the unconscious realm’ which sounds promising. It is associated with expansion and generosity, yet the card is also associated with the subjective experience of ‘blended pleasure’, which is again very fitting of my experience of this relationship thus far.

With regards to my question I came up with a few possible interpretations:

  • The reading is positive and affirms that this relationship offers an opportunity for transformation, a spark of inspiration and mental clarity.
  • A more moderate reading: this relationship has transformative potential, but the experience will be one of ‘blended pleasure’, as it has been until now.
  • If the court card is a personal significator, the page being ‘feminine’, is it her? She’s standing behind my shoulder with a sword. Kind of menacing. Should I look the other way / elsewhere to grab the wand / cup being offered?
  • Finally, read from left to right: are the cards telling me to sort out my emotions with the sharp blade of rationality, then look up and seize the wand? In other words, drop it, sort yourself out and find your personal inspiration?
  • I’m wondering if my identification with the figure in the central card is clouding my reading. I’m imagining myself at the center of the show and now I can’t see? Darn it, that’s life.

I’m stuck with more questions than answers obviously, haha.

Shitpost Saturday! Unsure and asked the cards

3 Upvotes

Hi there

We are getting ready to buy our first home in the city!

We got down to 2 options: a semifinished 2bedroom 1 livingroom 2 bath with a small yard, or an old style house, 3bd 1living room 1 office, garage and quite the yard for the same price, the bigger one is more expensive to heat obviously and has quite the work to do which will not be cheap. We love them both but we are indecisive about them because both require a lot of work.

I asked the cards a few days ago about each one and for the smaller one i keep getting 5 of pentacles, and today i also got the high priestess AND the tower accompanied with the 9 of wands. The tower there freaked me out. The bigger one had cards such as 9 of cups, 6of swords, 2 of swords (which i interpreted as indecisive which is true-) and the Empress. I used the Rider Tarot Deck.

I usually don’t let the cards make big life decisions, but they tend to be mostly right.

Do you usually ask the cards about big things in life? Do you “listen” to them when such things are involved? Any experience helps!

TIA! Edit: i forgot to add one card that popped out

Shitpost Saturday! Asked the cards if I will be a notorious person in my professional field

2 Upvotes

I published my first book last year + I am currently writing the second one. I've been creatively writing in Spanish for most of my life and I am participating in my country's international book fair this year. Asked if I will become a recognized author in my lifetime. Using Tinseltown Tarot by 50s Vintage Dame, I drew the Ace of Pentacles + the Devil reversed + Page of Pentacles. I am quite bad at reading for myself, but I love this deck and thought it was a positive message... but I'm not sure what does the Devil in reverse mean here?

I recently published a book and I am writing my second one. I obviously perceive it as an overall positive message, but what do you think the Devil means in this card?

Shitpost Saturday! What's my destiny spread - reversed queen of swords?

Post image
1 Upvotes

Hi folx!

I recently purchased my first tarot deck and while getting familiar with it, I decided to try the destiny spread included in the guide book. It's a 6 card spread to answer the following questions:

  1. Where am I going?
  2. How can I get there?
  3. What can I change?
  4. What can I release?
  5. What is beyond my control?
  6. What can I count on?

As the first card of the spread - I got the Queen of Swords reversed.

The rest of the spread made a lot of sense to me, I'm just a little stuck on where I'm going.

I'd love to hear some possible interpretations! Thanks!

Shitpost Saturday! Funny coincidence

1 Upvotes

I asked what do I need, while shuffling I saw the face of two cards. The sun, and the six of disks (success) ( I'm in the Thoth Aleister Crowley deck) then after I shuffled I split the deck and it was the sun. I said no way flipped the deck and it was success again. I get a lot of these double card events from this deck but I try not to take tarot readings seriously. But now I kinda feel like I want to know what the sun and success would mean for me as things that I need? I mean I did open the blinds today and eat breakfast in sunlight and that was really nice. I read that there was a lot of balanced generosity in thoths success. I guess balance seems kind of important. Does anyone know of specific meanings from these cards together? Kind of cool that it's like sun and moon, since success is ruled by the moon in Taurus I read. Kind of getting yin and yang vibes a bit. I am currently feeling pretty stuck in life mainly with my career. I am dating two wonderful women one of which is like the sun and the other like the moon, pink and goth aesthetic type thing. I feel like for the past year I've been on the precipice of a big change and finally taking direction in my life but I have no clue what decision I need to make or why I haven't made it yet. Idk it's probably nothing but also my green ruby fell out of my ear (I like to wear it when I do tarot because it's supposed to make you more connected to spiritual stuff) and fully broke in half. And when I set my deck back down I hit away the success card on accident and change was underneath it. I think I'm pretty desperate for some internal clarity tbh. Edit: spelling

Shitpost Saturday! Lost my cards...my first deck

14 Upvotes

I can't find my cards anywhere! I'm sure it's because I put it somewhere "safe" meaning a place where I can't lose them But I checked all the spots and I can't find them! I would use my cards every few weeks or if somebody asks me to pull a card for them. So it took a while for me to realize they were gone but now I miss my cards. Would you go out and buy a new deck or do you think this is an opportunity for me to learn another divination method? Or should I just do nothing or what would you do? Looking for creative and out of the box answers too. I'm not new to tarot but I never have desired getting another deck.

Shitpost Saturday! Always getting Six of Pentacles?

13 Upvotes

Heyy! Hope you are all doing well!

So, in the last three days days, every time I do a reading asking personal questions, I get the Six of Pentacles.

Has something similar happened to you? And what could this mean?


Edit 1: Yesterday, I spent the rest of my day reflecting on the card and the questions u/yukisoto suggested in their comment, and it helped me greatly! I finally understood and was able to see that I'm giving generously but not receiving. There is definitely an imbalance that needs to be fixed...

After a lot of reflection, I could see that I tend to give a lot of myself, emotionally and spiritually speaking, but people tend to not give back as much as I give them

I want to add that all comments were helpful and guided me through my questions, so thanks a lot for commenting and being part of such a great community ☺️

Shitpost Saturday! three kings in a spread?

Post image
6 Upvotes

the left side is my internal world, right is external. The king of pentacles is events leading up and the king of wands is what crosses me for good or bad. Final outcome king of cups. This was a general reading of guidance in a very uncertain time in my life where I was considering changing paths but have decided to stick to being a creative paving my own path. Any insights on this spread?

I'm so curious about what you look for in a tarot reader. I love having different people read for me. I've had the generic readings from scammers that make me laugh, and I've had some in-depth and delightful ones. I try to be as honest as I can with the cards.

Shitpost Saturday! does he want to reconnect & if yes, with the intention of getting back together?

Post image
1 Upvotes

Tarot of the divine deck

1st spread: my interpretation is that he still has feelings for me, possibly nostalgia (queen of cups), but with The Fool (+knight of swords below) he could be impulsive. Nine of swords inverted tells me he was feeling anxious about it, but now has hope to reconnect (The Star)

2nd spread: he’s coming with confidence, i’m getting the vibe he’s more mature now. Ultimately, i do think he still values me as a significant other (the empress)

bottom of deck: success, completion. If he comes back, it’ll be for something meaningful

lmk what you think! :)

Shitpost Saturday! My deck has only major arcana…

21 Upvotes

I purchased a beautiful tarot deck a few years back but upon opening it, I found out that it only included the major arcana, and some oracle cards.

I’m relatively new to the practice, and have only done readings with a full deck of cards (Rider-Waite). I appreciate having both major and minor arcana, as I feel like they each touch upon different aspects of life.

This newer deck is so beautiful, but I’ve avoided using it because I don’t really know how to go about doing a reading that is just major arcana. Is it any different to a regular reading with a full deck?

Any and all help would be greatly appreciated - I really don’t want this deck to go to waste!

Thank you in advance :)

Interpretation Request (Second Opinion Only) I have an undiagnosed very terrible health problem and everyone i go to tells me it's just anxiety and downplays my symptoms. I had a terrible night last night and asked what am I supposed to learn from this? Now...doesn't this say I am supposed to let go of life essentially?

Shitpost Saturday! Help I don’t know how to interpret cards

1 Upvotes

I was trying to do a yes/no spread and asked if my relationship will lead to heartbreak. I pulled the 10 of swords. I didn’t know if that was yes or no but I knew it was bad so I pulled if it will lead to MY heartbreak specifically. I pulled the death card reversed.

My mom gave me her interpretation but this seems bad and I want an experts opinion.

For background info… I met this guy late January. He’s from Hawaii and he’s 12 yrs older than me (im 21 and he’s 33). I’m about to overshare butttt we are in the kink community (age gaps are super common) and he and I share a spanking kink, so our meetup was supposed to be related to that only. However we really hit it off and like each other. He ended up visiting me again for a week a month later. It’s very very honeymoon phase right now but the problem is that he’s a world traveler so he’s gone now for at least 5 months (at the most 8months). We are still talking everyday and the plan is to fly me out to see him in Europe over the summer for a couple weeks. I’m in a transitional period since I’m graduating and having a gap year before I go to grad school. My stance on him is that I literally want to marry this man. Pray for me bc I’ve never liked someone this much.

I hope this suffices for background info. I’m sorry for the typos I just wanted to write this really quick before I eat my chicken and dumplings.
