Okay so this is how I did that free fertility tarot reading thing I talked about today. Been getting loads of messages asking about how it works and what I actually did, so here’s the whole step-by-step, warts and all.
Getting Started Was Weirdly Simple
Honestly? I kinda just dived in. I’ve been messing around with my cards for years, but fertility questions felt… heavy, you know? So many folks carrying so much hope and worry. I pulled out my most worn-in deck – the one that feels like an old friend – and laid out my usual reading cloth. No fancy setup, just me at the kitchen table after lunch.
I knew I needed focus. My own experience? Zero. I never tried having kids. But folks ask the big questions all the time online. So I jotted down the Top 5 questions I see over and over again:
- Is pregnancy coming soon? (Everyone wants to know this yesterday)
- What’s blocking my fertility? (So much stress around this)
- What does my body need right now? (Health focus, super important)
- What lessons is this journey teaching me? (The emotional side)
- Next steps? Practical advice? (Gotta have something actionable)
Shuffling & The First Pull
Okay, shuffling time. I held each question in my head, one after another, while shuffling. Tried not to overthink it, just let the cards slide. For the first question – “Is pregnancy coming soon?” – my gut said pull one card only. Boom. The Nine of Cups landed face up. The “wish card”! Felt like a big green flag for that specific energy of ‘your deepest wish will be fulfilled’. But… is it literal pregnancy? The timing? Tarot sucks at specific calendars. So my note was: “Huge positive energy, strong wish fulfillment vibes. Hold onto that hope, it feels potent.”
Digging Deeper & Hitting the Tricky Bits
Next question: “What’s blocking?” I decided on a three-card spread for more nuance. Felt right. Cards flipped: The Moon, Eight of Swords, Four of Pentacles. Whoa. Okay. Heavy vibes. The Moon screamed “hidden fears, stuff you’re not facing!”. Eight of Swords? That classic “trapped by your own thoughts” feeling. Four of Pentacles said “holding on too tight, maybe to control or old plans.” Gotta be honest, this felt real. My thought? The block wasn’t physical first – it was this tangle of fear, overthinking, and trying to control the uncontrollable. My note: “Major mental/emotional headlock. Unspoken fears and rigid expectations might be the real roadblocks here.”
The “body needs” question got a simple one-card pull. Ace of Pentacles. Clear as day! Grounding, earth energy, new physical beginnings. My interpretation? Prioritize real basics: nutrition maybe? Rest? Definitely concrete physical foundations. “Nourish the physical vessel. New health habits could be key,” I wrote.
The Emotional and the Practical
For the lesson part (“What is this teaching?”), pulled Strength. Almost laughed. Of course. Building patience, inner resilience, that quiet fortitude. Not exactly the fun lesson everyone wants. “Patience. Deep inner strength is being forged,” I scribbled.
Finally, “Next steps/Practical Advice”. Went for a two-card spread. Got Page of Cups and The Star. Page of Cups is all about emotional openness, creativity, messages from the heart. The Star? Pure hope, renewal, faith after a storm. My takeaway? Practical step one: Tend to your feelings (Page of Cups). Be open. Step two: Lean into genuine hope. Don’t just wish – actively trust the process (The Star). Advice: “Open the heart space & cultivate authentic hope. Practical magic lives there.”
Wrapping It Up Honestly
Putting it all together felt… humbling? Grateful? Cards make you see patterns. So many themes kept popping up: dealing with fear and control issues, needing grounding self-care, finding patience and active hope. It felt less about predicting a baby and more about finding strength right now.
Would I do it again? Yeah. Felt real and raw and helpful. But the biggest thing I wrote down at the end? “This is energy reading, not medical advice. Always talk to your doc. Cards just help navigate the feelings.” Gotta remember that part.
