Alright so this week I decided to mix tarot with my usual Virgo horoscope check-up. Sounds kinda extra? Maybe. But hey, I’m all about trying stuff myself. Grabbed my trusty Rider-Waite deck and my phone – let’s see what mess the stars predict for Virgo love lives this week.
Step 1: Find That Horoscope
First thing first, gotta know what the sky’s gossiping about. Scrolled through my usual astrology app looking for the Virgo weekly love section. Scrolled past the doom and gloom about Mercury retrograde warnings (again?), and finally spotted it. Felt short and kinda vague, talking about needing clarity in communication and maybe reconnecting with someone from the past. Okay, interesting. Wrote that down in my journal – “Virgo love focus: Talk straight & maybe ghosts knocking.” Keeping it real.
Step 2: Shuffle Like I Mean It
Time to bring in the tarot cards. Cleared my little coffee table spot (pushed aside the remote and a half-empty mug, classic). Sat down, took some slow breaths. Really tried to focus my brain on the horoscope points – clarity and past connections. Shuffled those cards thoroughly, hearing that familiar shh-shh-shh sound. Sometimes I zone out while shuffling, you know? My mind drifted to whether I needed groceries. Caught myself, pulled it back: “Focus! Virgo love!”. Cut the deck three times, feeling clunky doing it. Does anyone else feel awkward cutting? Probably just me.
Step 3: Laying Out the Cards
I picked a simple three-card spread for this experiment. Why complicate things? Plan was:
- Card 1: What’s the core energy for Virgo love this week? (Based on that horoscope vibe)
- Card 2: What’s the challenge or obstacle hiding in there?
- Card 3: What’s the advice or potential outcome?
Flipped the first card – it was the Six of Cups. Showed two kids exchanging a cup. Immediately thought, “Past connection? For real?”. That horoscope prediction literally just mentioned reconnecting with the past! Felt a little spooked, honestly. Card landed upright, felt positive.
Flipped Card 2: Hello, Three of Swords. Ouch. That image of a heart pierced by three swords? Yeah, not the sunshine card. Upright, but still. Felt it tied into the horoscope’s “clarity in communication” bit – the card screams heartache, betrayal, needing that clarity after pain maybe? Could also mean just needing to talk through some existing hurt. Definitely matched the challenge vibe.
Card 3: Knight of Swords. Fast energy, kinda blunt guy charging forward. Reversed! Felt significant. Upright, he’s all action. Reversed? Advice was probably: Slow down, Virgos! Don’t charge into talks guns blazing based on that Swords energy. Maybe think before speaking? Or don’t force a resolution recklessly.
Step 4: Making Sense of the Hot Mess
Looked at the spread together:
- Core Energy: Six of Cups (Past connections, nostalgia)
- Challenge: Three of Swords (Heartache, communication breakdown)
- Advice: Knight of Swords Rx (Don’t rush, think it through)
This felt… alarmingly relevant? That pairing of Cups and Swords totally mirrored the horoscope’s “past connection” mixed with “need clarity”. The cards seemed to amplify it. Maybe it means an old flame popping up could be lovely and nostalgic (Six of Cups) but brings baggage or potential hurt (Three of Swords), so the Knight reversed says: Take a breath. Process the feels before blurting things out.
Or, for singles, it could mean replaying old relationship patterns? Either way, the key seems to be handling any “past” themes with care and not rushing. Messed up my coffee with my sleeve wiping my notes – typical!
Step 5: Did It Actually Help?
So, yeah. Did the tarot “guide” make the horoscope clearer? Honestly… yes. The horoscope was vague whispers; the cards were shouting specifics. Seeing that Three of Swords slam down really hammered home the potential pain aspect behind needing clear communication. And the reversed Knight’s warning about recklessness felt vital. Would I rely only on this? Nah. Life isn’t cards and stars. But it gave me more angles to chew on for the week. Feels more practical now, knowing Virgos might need extra patience talking stuff out, especially if old issues surface. Might make my own communication a bit less… Virgo-bossy? We’ll see. Gotta log off and water my plants now. Cheers!
