I rolled out of bed earlier than usual today because the Virgo in my life kept bugging me about a love reading. Fine, I thought, let’s do this. Grabbed my trusty tarot deck – the one with edges so worn they’re practically round – and plopped down at my kitchen table.
First, I wiped the cards down with a dry cloth. People always forget oils from hands mess with shuffling. Did seven riffle shuffles exactly because that’s my lucky number. Focused hard on Virgo energy while shuffling – you know, that practical but secretly sensitive vibe. Cut the deck three times with my left hand since intuition felt strong today.
Laid out three cards face down using the classic past/present/future spread. The moment felt heavy, like humidity before summer rain. Here’s what flipped over:
- First position (past): Six of Cups. Didn’t surprise me one bit. Virgos always cling to nostalgia like old teddy bears. Shows exes or childhood sweethearts crawling back lately.
- Center (present): The Moon. Oof. That explained why my Virgo friend cried over coffee yesterday. Card screamed confusion – mixed signals, hidden agendas, maybe they’re overthinking texts again.
- Final (future): Knight of Cups. Best damn card in the spread! Imagine romance riding in on a white horse. Could mean love letters, dates planned with rose petals, or finally finding emotional guts.
Honestly? The Moon card worried me. I pulled two clarifiers for it – got Five of Pentacles reversed and Three of Swords. Double ouch. Translation: Money fears are making them paranoid (Pentacles), and heartbreak scars are bleeding into new situations (Swords). Classic Virgo – their brains sabotage their hearts.
But that Knight of Cups! Strong water energy. Told my Virgo they’ll need to swim through emotional sludge first. Funny thing – my tea leaves formed a heart shape at the bottom of my mug while doing this reading. Spooky coincidence.
Finished by wrapping the cards in violet silk. Should last a month tops before the deck throws another surprise. Left ’em on my windowsill moonlight charging. Virgos better take notes: stop dwelling on who didn’t work out yesterday. Your knight’s coming.
