Alright folks, grab a coffee, settle in. Wanna walk you through how I put together this week’s Virgo love tarot reading. I know, sounds fancy, but honestly? It’s mostly just me rolling with the flow and trying stuff out. Keeps things interesting.
Digging Out the Cards (Always a Mess)
First thing, gotta pick a deck. Sounds simple, right? Nah. My study looks like a tarot bomb exploded half the time. Rummaged through my bottom desk drawer – piles of boxes shoved in there. Pulled out my old Rider-Waite, felt… dusty? Nah. Then saw the “Shadowscapes” deck tucked behind some notebooks. Haven’t used it in months. The artwork just hit different this morning, soft kinda vibe, felt right for Virgo energy. Decision made. Slapped that box down on the cleared corner of my desk.
Setting the Stage (And Failing Mostly)
Okay, cards chosen. Now, where the heck to lay them out? My desk is usually covered in laptop, cables, empty mugs… the usual battlefield. Shoved half that junk to the side – coffee mug narrowly avoiding disaster. Aimed for a clean space, achieved “slightly less cluttered”. Good enough. Figured a simple three-card pull for Virgos this week: Past influence → Present vibe → Future possibility. Basic, but gives a solid snapshot. Took a deep breath, tried to clear my own head. Hard. Kept thinking about laundry. Focus, man.
The Actual Draw (Trial & Error)
Shuffled. A lot. Probably overdid it. Cards flying everywhere, totally dropped half the deck. Scooped ’em back up, feeling slightly like an amateur. Shuffled a bit more calmly this time. Split the deck three ways after muttering “Guidance for the Virgos this week” – felt a bit silly talking to myself, but hey, practice. Pulled three cards face down.
- First card (Past): Flipped it – Five of Pentacles. Whoa. Heavy opener. Immediately thought about old relationship baggage, maybe insecurities resurfacing.
- Second card (Present): Turned it over – Knight of Cups. Okay! Much better. Romance on the move? Open heart? Possibilities flowing?
- Third card (Future): Held my breath, flipped… Two of Cups. Boom! Connection vibes. Partnership potential? Mutual feelings?
Stared at the spread for a good five minutes. The jump from Five of Pentacles to Knight Cups to Two Cups… felt like a hopeful climb. Real story there.
Making Sense of the Mess (My Brain)
Didn’t just blurt out meanings. Grabbed my worn notebook, scribbled down the cards super quick. Then started free-writing: “Past = rocky ground, feeling unsupported… Present = romantic energy arriving, being open… Future = deep connection possible…”. Saw a pattern – moving from isolation (Five Pents) to active pursuit (Knight Cups) to partnership (Two Cups). For Virgos this week? Suggests leave the baggage behind, be open to new feelings, real connection might be on the horizon. Tried to phrase it less clunky for the recording.
Getting it Recorded (With Cat Interruptions)
Here’s the annoying part. Set up my cheap USB mic. Cat saw the movement, decided lap was prime nap territory during soundcheck. Pushed him off gently, he yowled. Classic. Had to restart the setup. Explained the cards again, in simpler words. Tripped over “Knight of Cups” like five times. Practiced the summary maybe three times before hitting record for real. Did a single take – flaws and all. Mic popped once. Shrugged. Authentic, right? Wrapped it up quick.
Honestly? That’s the whole chaotic, slightly clumsy process. Hope the actual message resonates with any Virgos tuning in this week!
