Okay let’s get straight into this thing I found online – a tarot thing promising to tell if some guy actually has feelings for you, all in five easy steps. Honestly? I rolled my eyes a bit. Tarot for feelings? Seemed like fluff. But hey, this dude was sending mixed signals, driving me nuts, so I figured, why not give it a whirl? Worst case, it’s five minutes wasted.
The Setup: Dusting Off My Cards
First things first, I needed my tarot deck. It was buried under a stack of old magazines on my bookshelf, feeling a bit neglected. I grabbed it – it’s a classic Rider-Waite deck I’ve had forever. I wiped the dust off and sat down at my little desk by the window. Didn’t feel mystical, just… weirdly practical, like getting a board game out.
Then came step one: Focus On The Question. Seriously. Just sit there and focus your entire brain on wanting to know how he feels? That part felt harder than it sounds! My mind kept drifting to what I wanted for dinner. Had to bring it back like, four times. “Okay brain, concentrate. Does. He. Like. Me. YES OR NO?!” Finally got a sorta clear sense of him in my head.
Shuffle & Stumble
Step two: Shuffle Those Cards Thoroughly. I started shuffling like a dealer in a casino movie. Cards flying everywhere. Dropped half the deck. Laughed at myself. Picked ’em up, shuffled slower, focused on the dude again. Kept shuffling until I felt a little lump in my throat – that weird, nervous anticipation you get. That was my cue to stop, according to the guide.
Drawing the (Uncomfortable) Pictures
Step three: Draw Five Cards. One at a time, face down. Easy enough. But step four made me sweat a little: Interpret Each Card’s Position Meaning. Each card position supposedly means something specific:
- Position 1: What’s the foundation of his feelings? (I drew The Hierophant – uh oh, tradition? Commitment? He’s not exactly the traditional type…)
- Position 2: What’s pulling him towards you? (Knight of Cups lands here – Okay! Romantic gestures? Deep feelings? That seems positive!)
- Position 3: What’s holding him back? (The Moon pops up – Confusion? Hidden fears? Oh boy, that tracks…)
- Position 4: What’s the current status of his feelings? (I flipped the Three of Pentacles – Teamwork? Building something? Maybe seeing potential?)
- Position 5: Where is this potentially heading? (Got The Lovers here – Well damn. That got my heart racing!)
The Messy Reality of Interpretation
Then step five hit: Put It All Together For Your Answer. This was the messy part. Honestly, staring at The Hierophant and The Moon together felt like a direct contradiction to The Lovers and Knight of Cups. Confusion central. Does he feel deeply but is scared of commitment? (The Moon + Knight of Cups). Is he seeing this as something serious but slow-moving? (Three of Pentacles + Hierophant). That Lovers card at the end? Tempting, but is it real or just potential? It felt way less like a crystal ball answer and way more like a spotlight on all the complexities I already kinda knew were there. Annoyingly true to life.
The (Not So) Simple Verdict
Did this “5 simple steps” test tell me straight up “Yes he adores you!” or “Nope, move on”? Hell no. It wasn’t a magic eight ball. What it DID do was mirror back the exact swirling mess of excitement, confusion, potential, and apprehension that I was feeling. It validated my gut feeling: things are messy. The Knight of Cups and the Lovers hinted strong at genuine feeling potential, but The Moon screamed hesitation. The takeaway? He might have feelings brewing, but there’s a block there, something stopping him from diving in or showing it clearly. Simple? No. Weirdly insightful for a five-card draw? Actually, kinda yes. I’m still just as confused as before, but maybe… slightly more confused with pictures?
