Anyone fancy a quick tarot card reading? (I need practice)

Trying to get better at reading the cards.

Anyone got something they want a quick answer too? Yes/no questions are ideal for the sake of speed but if you really want to know something else feel free to ask.

I'm NOT a psychic so you'll probably need to give some context. Just whatever you are comfortable with.

Just for fun guys. Don't take it too serious x

Thank you very much for this @Sodthesystem

Since asking for my reading I’ve had colorectal surgery and currently in recovery with lots of sitz baths and trying to be gentle on the tummy so I am very impressed ☺️

Funnily enough I wanted to say sitz but then I wasn't sure how it was spelt...then I wasn't sure it was even a thing...I thought maybe I was tired and making words up...so then I decided to just right epsom salts haha.

Oh you poor thing! I hope you have a fast recovery! X

Three some quick news coming in and an offer. If it's not this job, it's another one, soon.

Thanks for responding @Sodthesystem appreciate you have been inundated on this thread apologies for coming back to you again but can I check the three of what card pulled thanks and from the sound of it no strong feelings about this particular one (certain circumstances have arisen since I asked and some news did appear but it’s not conclusive) thanks again for your time.

Interested in this thread?

I draw the hermit card which...suggests solo living. And the strength card suggesting a strong decision must be made.

Something has been hard and there may be some fakery or deception involved.
There's a lie here or if it's not a lie then it's someone wearing a mask to disguise an aspect of themselves or what they truly want.

This is a very specific example but when someone dangles marriage on a stick because they know the other person wants it. And the know they'll forgive more than they should in the hopes of getting it. That kind of thing might be relevant.

Or like if you were playing with me because you wanted to see what id say so you made up a partner that doesn't exist xD I only suggest this as the cards could theoretically point to that too. The hermit (she's actually on her own), the devil (dodgy motives).

Assuming that's not the case though. There is a lot of 'spiritual' at play. The hierophant (like a pope) came up along with the devil. And the strength card depicts a woman with a lion beside her and made me think of the Christian story about Daniel. Who is thrown into the lions den for praying to God but the lions do not harm him because he has faith.

There may be a message in the story for you to think upon.

Perhaps, put your faith in the right person and they will protect you. Put it in the wrong person and you may get eaten up. Or perhaps it's simply, do not sleep in the lions den and expect to get out alive, unless you are as loyal and lucky as Daniel was.

Thank you. There definitely is a partner. What you've said certainly rings true. I've suspected one lie from the beginning and also feel I'm often being told what he thinks I want to hear, rather than what he actually feels. I definitely feel he wears a mask.

I'm quite happy living alone and not at all sure I'd want to live with him or get married.

I'm not religious, so not a faith in that sense, so not sure about the pope. I think I'm quite strong, have achieved a lot on my own, but have been struggling with depression, so there have definitely been hard times. I'm also a Leo so the lion is very apt!

Well the 9 of cups did come up which is a guy with his arms crossed and there was a similar reading before where I advised that it was like a person at the interview that was like 'impress me'. Like a grumpy old man. So that was making me wonder if it was a no. But then all the other ones were cards that suggested offers. For example cards depicting something being given. I don't remember a three.

There may have been an 8 of wands depicting speed.

So it looks like something is due.

But as you say nothing jumping out at me.

My life is like groundhog day. I have 4 children, 2 step children and 1 forever beautiful 18 day old little girl 👼.

My 6 year old boy has significant complex additional needs which require 24/7 care, also a 1 year old. We are living in accommodation that is not suitable for our families needs, especially our 6 year olds needs. I have a partner, but we have zero relationship. Zero family support.

Will things ever change, will the chronic worry and anxiety ever improve. Will things change for our family?

Thank you 😊

Would really like to get a reading. Would be lovely to have some hope 😊 🙏

The hierophant usually deals with matters of institutions. Like marriage. But also any kind of 'by the book' system of doing things. I'm not saying the pope is going to make and appearance lol don't worry xD

Many thanks for coming back again re-reading your original response apologies I think it was just a typo for there not three(!) your reading does make sense to me as I was successful at passing the role requirement but did not get the offer and have instead been added to a reserve list that I’m hoping results in a similar role. So it’s both a no and a possible future yes. Many thanks again and I hope your health concerns resolve soon xx

Should I leave my partner of 20 years? I no longer feel seen or heard. He told me a few days ago that he can see how hurtful his behaviour has been and plans to change but it feels like too little too late. He’s been belittling me instead of supporting me, hasn’t taken responsibility for his own part in our challenges and wants full control of our finances. I just feel like I could maybe go it alone and be happier. I want a different kind of life.

TitaniumWhite · 07/08/2025 03:16

Hi, please could you do a reading for me? Undecided whether to have an operation in case it's a failure. Also very concerned about the way my life is going and need some help. Thank you.

GoldenRetriever8 · 07/08/2025 03:17

Do I stay in my relationship of 4 years? Will it bring me happiness for the long term? Or are they too avoidant and it'll just bring me stress? Are kids on the cards - for me? For us?

Thank you - always been very curious when it comes to Tarot!!

Answering this now just seen as it's time sensitive.

I was hoping the cards would say no because that's an easy cop out for me isn't it?

They did mention travel tomorrow.
My feeling is it's saying to take what joy you can in it and if it gets too much, leave. A flying visit just to be cordial perhaps. Maybe have somewhere else you 'need to be' just incase. But you may even find you are glad you went.

Edit: to be fair they could also be telling you to go out and 'celebrate' in your own company. But there is movement and it does look like it is family related.

Edited

Thank you for taking the time to respond.
As you can tell by the time I am reading this, my mind (and heart!) are still all over the place.
Ugh. Family eh?! 😕

Hey tootsweeties I am still working through posters on page 7 ATM so I have a while till I get this far in, if I even manage it. But I felt I should reply to you.

I'm sure every woman on here will tell you to never ever give a bully full control over your finances. The relationships section on here is a good place to go for advice in your situation. I think it might help you to speak with women's aid too.

You ask if your life could be happier?
I ask you - how could it not be?
Surely the only way is up, don't you think?

Also worth noting that bullies make all kinds of false promises when they are trying to convince you to stay as bad continue being a victim or, when they have ulterior motives (is the move to control all finances new?).

Now I thought, 'shall I look at the cards, because she probably needs some nice advice and reassurance that everything will be ok if and when she leaves'.

But here's the thing, if I do that then you are getting permission from something else to leave. When actually what you really need to do, is give yourself permission.

I suspect that for far too long you have been made to feel like your wants, needs, feelings and dreams are not important, that they are silly or selfish or uninspired. That you don't deserve to chase your own happiness or peace.

If you choose to leave then you are about to do something hard, very hard. So you need to do it because you believe you deserve it. You need to be your own champion now because you are going to have to be from now on.

You deserve a happy life free from abuse. Everyone does!
I hope that you give yourself permission to do right by yourself. Your dreams, needs and feelings are valid. I hope you choose you.

Wow, you’ve been inundated, I hope you see this but no bother if not.

  1. will DH get back into permanent well paid work, or should be cut our cloth to a lower lifestyle?
  2. will I ever feel peace with my family situation? Should I stop trying?
  3. will we as a nuclear family stay as happy as we are? Will my DC be close?

sorry if that’s too many #1 is the most critical for me!

TalulaHalulah · 07/08/2025 07:38

It’s amazing you are still doing these. I so much like your replies (they combine wisdom, empathy and general life advice with your readings).
(i am the person who was asking way back if I should still chat with my brief relationship ex; you gave me an insightful reply, which also made me laugh).

Don't I know it xD

I was hoping it wasn't a situation where there was narcissist inlaws or something like that.
That I could just tell you just to not go.

But the cards seemed to point toward going.

There was the message about leaving too though xD which I'm reading as protecting your peace. Maybe going initially will give you some sort of clarity you've been looking for.

There's something about celebrating/an event too though, whatever that's about.

OP posts:
Sodthesystem · 07/08/2025 11:36

*at least in assuming it's a celebration. It was the 4 of wands card.

But thought I'd check the books there and I see it can also point to reunion (which I guess makes more sense). Or a hard task paying off.

OP posts:
Sodthesystem · 07/08/2025 12:19

NOTE FOR ALL:

I did post a rough cut off somewhere around page 12. Intention being to attempt all before that point. After that point, if I continue, I may be a bit more pick and choose.

If I get a chance, I'll maybe make some generalised pick a card readings and put them on YouTube so that there's at least something everyone can get to. Or I may put some on Etsy. I have a store but I've never used it.

Don't hold me to those but we'll see :)

Ok so the cards give a lot of magician energy. This is telling you you have the power to mould and shape things going forwards. At first it looked like it was saying you could make either work but I placed cards for both options and found...

That option one, although it suggested you could stay and make things work, sort things out, clean things up - your heart hurts to do it. The only thing going in it's favour really is the lovers card. Perhaps this means people you work with that you care about or someone you have a crush on. Or that you love what you do but it's just this recent turn of events has sort of soured it for you.

You have to decide if that's a good enough reason to stay. But tbh it feels very much...like crunching on fractured glass. At least for a time.

The second option of course has lots of movement as it means leaving the job. It has lots of page energy which can symbolising having to start all over again. Retraining. And that may be an annoyance.

This is very specific but it's that feeling of a younger person being in a more senior role and they are just a bit annoying. But then that could be the current situation TBF not the new place.

Overall it looks like a new job is the better option. But you know yourself you are more than capable of making either work for you going forwards.

There is a message about sleeping on it. When you are in bed at night are all is quiet, what is your gut telling you you want to do? Let that guide you.

Thanks so much you don’t know how helpful this has been

Will the JonBenet Ramsey case ever be solved?

Interesting one. This is generally one of those things I think we should avoid diving deeply into but...I'd be lying if I said I hadn't taken a look from time to time on the odd true crime.

It wasn't a name I was familiar with though so I thought I'd restrain myself from Google and see what I got from the cards. I asked for information on who/what the case was all about. It brought up the 4 of coins which is a woman bent over a coin on her lap. So either a pregnant woman or a young child (small enough to sit on parents knee) came to mind.

The second thing was a flash of feelings: utterly repulsed, betrayed, sick to my stomach (Of course, normal feelings if you think about the possible subject matter TBF). But IF I were to assume it intuition then - my thought was that either this was someone that was completely naive to the danger of the world (a child) or someone betrayed by some one they trusted. Like a pregnant woman by her partner.

My 'most likely' guess was about a young boy purely because Jonbenet sounded like a male name to me. And murder, not missing.

So I went then and did a quick search and saw it's a young girl who went missing in the 90s and was found murdered. And something about having possibly been fed pineapple chunks. I haven't done any more reading into it.

I felt that that 'who did it?' might be a nono. But when I asked the cards the question if if they would ever be caught they did throw out the justice card. So perhaps, one day, justice will be served. I also drew the hierophant alongside however so I wonder if it may mean karmic justice, heavenly judgement etc... rather than us finding out. Or that, they received 'justice' in some form already.

Yes please - I feel a bit stuck/in limbo and could do with some general life-path guidance.

This is making me want to dig out my old deck!

I draw the chariot and the 3 of pentacles and the page of swords.

Time to take action and shake things up.

Perhaps retraining in something entirely new or pursuing a new hobby is due. It feels like new study or a thirst for knowledge.

That thing where, 'you don't get unstuck if you don't pull your feet up and take action'. But then often we are frightened to move incase it's the wrong move.

You can always turn the chariot around.

The two of pentacles. You have options.

The moon and the 8 of swords. Lol you definitely are feeling stuck aren't you!

The seven of swords. 'If I pick up one thing I might drop another'.

It reminds me of when I go into boots to look at makeup (that I will probably never wear xD) and I think 'ooh I want this and this and this but I'm only going to get one thing because I want to save money. But...I can't choose one thing. ... ... Right! That's it, we're leaving and not buying anything then!'.

It's not all or nothing. You don't have to succeed at everything you try. Just pick something and have a crack at it. If it's a no it's a no.

You can only do what you can do. Your part. You can't change other people or mitigating circumstances but focus on the changes you can make.

Pick a route and move on it and if it doesn't work out then don't worry. You can try something else.
You can go in guns blazing or start small and work your way up. Various options are ahead for you. Just, move.
