Okay so yesterday was Sunday night right? Realized my week felt chaotic and I needed some damn focus. Remembered those dusty tarot cards sitting on my shelf. Decided, screw it, let’s try this “Virgo Weekly Tarot” thing everyone talks about. Here’s exactly how it went down, step-by-step, no fancy stuff.
Getting My Stuff Together
First things first, grabbed my deck. It’s just the basic one, the one everyone starts with – nothing special. Tried finding a quiet spot. Ended up clearing junk mail off the kitchen table. Good enough. Lit this cheap vanilla candle I found in a drawer – more for the vibe than anything mystical. Took some deep breaths, trying not to think about Monday morning emails.
What the Hell Am I Asking?
Figured I needed clear questions, otherwise it’s just random pictures. Knew I wanted the week ahead. Settled on three things:
- What’s the main energy or lesson for me this week? (Like, the big thing I gotta watch out for or lean into)
- Where should I focus my energy to have the smoothest week? (Virgo brain needs order!)
- Any hidden challenge trying to sneak up? (Gotta be prepared for ambushes, you know?)
Kept it simple. Shuffled the cards a bunch while kinda mumbling these questions in my head. Let a bunch fall back into the deck on purpose, felt important to be messy with it.
Pulling the Cards & First Thoughts
Decided on a simple three-card pull. One for each question:
- Card 1 (Energy/Lesson): The Hermit Upright. Okay, interesting. Saw the lantern first. My gut said: Slow down, figure your own stuff out. Forget rushing, it’s about being thoughtful this week. Introspection city, apparently.
- Card 2 (Focus): Six of Pentacles Upright. Guy handing out coins. Immediately thought balance, giving/getting help. Like, maybe stop trying to do EVERYTHING solo? Could mean sharing work fairly or actually asking for that thing I need.
- Card 3 (Challenge): The Tower Upright. Oof. Lightning striking a tower. Yeah, no sugarcoating that. Felt like a gut punch. My first reaction: Sudden shake-up. Old crap falling apart. Like, brace for something unexpected that forces a change, even if it’s messy.
Making Sense of It For MY Week
Sat with these pics for a minute. Didn’t rush to the book. The Hermit + The Tower together felt heavy! Like: slow down and look inward (Hermit)… but also get ready for some forced change (Tower). Contradictory much? Took a sip of cold coffee. Realized: Maybe the slow look inward is HOW I handle any Tower moments. Instead of panicking, pause and find my own light in the mess.
The Six of Pentacles felt like the practical tip. Focus on healthy give-and-take. Maybe delegate that thing I always hoard, or finally accept that offer of help. Could be literal money stuff too – budget check time.
Overall vibe? Not the chill week I hoped for. Hermit says “quiet time,” Tower screams “chaos incoming,” and Six of Pentacles whispers “share the load, dummy.” Decided my main action points for the week are:
- Block actual quiet thinking time, no excuses.
- Don’t shy away from asking for/receiving help.
- Expect curveballs and breathe before reacting.
Honestly? It felt strangely real for a Sunday night panic session. The Tower freaked me out, but seeing it next to the Hermit made it less “doom” and more “rough transformation needed.” We’ll see how it actually plays out! The big thing for me was just using the pictures and my gut first, not overcomplicating meanings. Just tools to poke my own brain. Done.
