Man, so this whole thing with Virgo monthly tarot readings, right? It wasn’t something I really sought out, not at first. I was just kinda chilling, scrolling through some old spiritual blogs I used to follow way back when. You know, just for kicks, see what folks were talking about. And then I kept seeing stuff pop up about Virgo, like everywhere. My buddy, a Virgo himself, was going through some real heavy stuff. Always focused on the details, always organized, but this time? He was just… lost. Couldn’t seem to get his head straight. I figured, maybe there’s something in the air, you know?
I thought, “Okay, let’s see what the fuss is about.” I hadn’t really touched my old tarot deck in ages. It was just sitting there, gathering dust in a forgotten drawer. Probably since before the kids started school, honestly. But this nagging feeling, this pull, it just wouldn’t let up. So, one rainy afternoon, I rummaged around, found the old velvet bag, and pulled out the deck. Felt kinda good, actually, to hold them again. The cards felt familiar, almost comforting in my hands. Like picking up an old friend’s hand after a long time apart.
I wasn’t looking for a formal reading, not really. Just wanted to see if anything, any little flicker, would make sense for what my buddy was going through, or just, you know, for the general vibe of the month for Virgos. So I cleared a space on my coffee table, lit a candle, just for the atmosphere. Didn’t meditate or anything fancy, just kinda shuffled them, let my thoughts wander. Thought about my buddy, thought about that Virgo energy everyone talks about – the meticulousness, the service, the often-overthinking. And then I just started pulling. Not even a spread, just three cards, one after the other, face down.
The First Card: The Hermit. I flipped it, and boom, there it was. Instantly, I thought of my buddy. This guy, always helping others, always got a plan, suddenly pulling back, retreating. My immediate thought was, “Yep, that tracks.” It spoke to that need for introspection, for stepping back from the daily grind and just… thinking. Not running away, but reflecting. It really got me thinking about how we all need that sometimes, especially us folks who are always ‘on’ for everyone else. Virgo, always trying to fix things, often forgets to fix themselves first. It made me realize that even the most grounded signs need that quiet time, you know?
Then, The Second Card: The Eight of Pentacles. This one really hit home for me, personally, as well as for my friend. Hard work, dedication, mastery of a craft. For a Virgo, that’s their bread and butter. But what I saw here, what really clicked, wasn’t just working hard, but working smart, and maybe more importantly, working joyfully. My buddy, he’s been grinding, but he lost the joy in it. This card felt like a gentle nudge, a reminder that it’s okay to get lost in the details, but don’t lose sight of the bigger picture – the satisfaction, the mastery, the sense of accomplishment. It made me think about all the times I’ve gotten bogged down in the small stuff and lost the bigger spark.
Finally, The Third Card: The Queen of Swords. Now this one, this one felt different. It’s all about clear thinking, intellectual honesty, cutting through the noise. For a Virgo, who can sometimes get stuck in overthinking or self-criticism, this felt like a big old breath of fresh air. It wasn’t about being harsh, but about being direct and honest with yourself. About discerning what’s real and what’s just your mind playing tricks on you. My buddy, he was drowning in self-doubt. This Queen, she wasn’t having any of it. She was saying, “Look, cut through the BS. Know what you know, and trust it.” It made me realize that sometimes, we need to be a little tougher on our own internal narratives, call ourselves out on the unnecessary worries.
I just sat there for a bit, staring at those three cards. It wasn’t some grand revelation, no lightning bolt from the sky. It was more like a slow dawning, a quiet whisper that connected some dots. It wasn’t just for my buddy; it was for me too. That whole practice, just pulling those three cards without an agenda, it felt good. It helped me frame some of my own thoughts, brought a bit of clarity to the vague anxieties I didn’t even realize I was carrying. It wasn’t about predicting the future; it was about revealing some present truths I wasn’t quite seeing.
The whole experience, it was a good reminder. Sometimes you just gotta lean into things, even if they seem a little out there. You don’t need to be a guru or have all the answers. Just sit, observe, and let things come to you. Those cards, they were just pictures, really, but they sparked something. They gave me a fresh perspective on what “spiritual insights” even mean – not some grand cosmic secret, but just understanding a bit more about what’s going on inside you and around you. It was a good month for dusting off old habits and finding new meaning in them, you know?
