Alright folks, listen up. This isn’t some fancy talk about high-minded spirituality or anything like that. This is just me, sharing how I actually started making sense of my Virgo monthly tarotscope, not just reading it, but really getting it, through daily card pulls. Took me a while to get here, let me tell you.
For the longest time, I’d read my monthly tarotscope, and it felt… general, you know? Like, “Oh, this month might bring new opportunities.” Great, thanks, every month brings new opportunities if I just open my eyes, right? As a Virgo, my brain constantly tries to dissect things, to find the granular detail, the practical application. Those general readings just left me feeling kinda unfulfilled, like I was missing the real meat of it. I wanted to understand my opportunities, my challenges, my specific stuff. So, I figured, there had to be a better way than just nodding vaguely at a paragraph written for millions of Virgos.
My Clumsy Beginning
I wasn’t exactly a tarot pro to begin with. I had a deck, sure, but it mostly sat in a drawer. I’d pull a card once in a blue moon, marvel at it, and then forget what it meant by lunchtime. But one month, things felt particularly… jumbled. Work was messy, home life had its usual quirks, and my head felt like a tangled ball of yarn. I was restless, couldn’t focus. I needed something to anchor me, something concrete in the daily chaos. That’s when it hit me: why not try pulling a card every single day for the month? Not just for a general reading, but specifically to try and connect the dots to whatever that monthly tarotscope was trying to tell me.
I started small. Waking up, coffee brewing, I’d just sit down with my deck. I’d kinda just shuffle, you know, not with any great skill or anything. Just mixing them up. Then I’d cut the deck, fan it out, and pick one card. That was it. No big spreads, no deep ritual, just one single card.
- First week: I just recorded the card name. Honestly, didn’t even bother looking up the meaning right away. Just wrote it down in a little notebook.
- Second week: I started looking up the basic meaning of the card. A quick glance online or in a little book that came with the deck. I’d jot down a keyword or two.
- Third week: This is when it got interesting. I started asking myself, “How did this card show up today?” or “What part of my day felt like this card?” It was tough at first, like trying to force a square peg into a round hole. But I kept at it.
- Fourth week and beyond: I began seeing patterns. That’s when the “aha!” moments started popping up.
Connecting the Dots, Daily
Let me tell you, it wasn’t some magical lightning bolt. It was slow, kinda like watching grass grow. But by the end of that first month, when I looked back at all my daily cards, something shifted. I’d reread my generic Virgo monthly tarotscope, the one that used to feel so vague, and suddenly, my daily cards were like little highlighted passages, explaining how that big picture played out for me. If the monthly reading said “expect a period of reflection,” I’d see all these Hermit, High Priestess, or even Four of Swords cards popping up in my daily draws that month, showing me when and how that reflection actually manifested in my days.
This whole practice, it became my way of decoding. I’d get my monthly tarotscope, read it once, and then tuck it away in my head. Then, each morning, my daily card pull was like getting a little piece of the puzzle for that day. It allowed me to see the bigger picture of the month unfold in real-time. It helped me prepare mentally for certain energies, or to just acknowledge what was happening rather than being surprised by it. It’s like, instead of just being told the weather for the month, I was getting a daily forecast that broke it down into specific humidity levels and wind directions. Much more a Virgo thing, right?
I started seeing how different aspects of my life aligned with the cards. A rough day at work? Oh, maybe it was that Ten of Swords I pulled. An unexpected joyful moment? Hello, Nine of Cups. It wasn’t about predicting the future with pinpoint accuracy, but about understanding the energy of my days and how it contributed to the overarching themes of my month. It grounded me, gave me a sense of participation in my own journey, rather than just being a passive observer of some cosmic plan.
How I Started Doing This Anyway
So, you might be asking, how did I even get so into this daily card pull thing? Well, it wasn’t planned, trust me. There was a period a couple of years back, around the time my oldest kid was heading off to college, and the house suddenly felt really… quiet. And big. You know, that empty nest feeling? I found myself with a lot of extra time on my hands, time I used to fill with kid stuff, and suddenly, I didn’t know what to do with myself. My usual routines felt hollow. I tried picking up old hobbies, but nothing really stuck. I felt a bit adrift, to be honest, which is a weird feeling for someone who usually has a plan for everything, like me.
I remembered seeing my old tarot deck sitting there, gathering dust. I’d bought it years ago on a whim, thinking it looked pretty. Never really dove in. But with all this quiet time, this vague sense of being unmoored, I just… started. One day, out of pure boredom and a need to just do something structured, I pulled a card. The next day, I pulled another. It wasn’t about solving my life’s problems then; it was just a small, daily act of deliberate engagement. A way to feel like I was doing something meaningful, even if I wasn’t sure what that meaning was yet. It was like a little secret project, just for me. And slowly, imperceptibly at first, those daily pulls started to talk to me. They didn’t shout, they just whispered, and I started listening. And that’s how I ended up here, sharing this with all of you.
