You know, it’s funny how you stumble into certain things in life. For me, this whole Virgo monthly love horoscope tarot gig wasn’t something I ever planned. It kinda just… happened. I remember it was a couple of years back, I was actually going through a bit of a rough patch myself. Nothing major, just that feeling like things weren’t quite clicking in my own love life, and a lot of my pals seemed to be in the same boat. My best friend, bless her heart, she’s a Virgo through and through, and she was really struggling with trying to figure out what was going on with this new guy she was seeing. She kept asking me, “What do you think? What does it all mean?” And honestly, I was clueless, just like her.
I’ve always had this old tarot deck tucked away in a drawer. It was a gift from my aunt years ago, and I mostly just looked at the pictures, never really knew how to use it for anything serious. But one day, feeling particularly helpless for my friend, I just grabbed it. I thought, “What’s the harm in just pulling a few cards? Maybe something will pop out.” I wasn’t aiming for a grand reading, just a little peek, you know? I sat down, shuffled the cards clumsily, and just asked for some insight into her situation for the coming month. I pulled three cards – one for where things were, one for what was happening now, and one for where it might be headed. And man, those cards, they just spoke. It wasn’t like a magic trick or anything, but they really laid out the dynamics she was feeling in a way I hadn’t been able to articulate.
After that, my friend was like, “You gotta do this for me every month!” And then her other Virgo friends heard about it, and then their Virgo friends. Before I knew it, I had a little queue of Virgos asking for their monthly love insights. It wasn’t about telling them exactly what would happen, but more about giving them a vibe, a heads-up on the energies at play. That’s how this whole monthly love horoscope tarot thing for Virgos started for me. It wasn’t a professional thing, just me, my old deck, and a bunch of curious Virgos looking for a bit of clarity.
My Ritual: Setting the Stage and Shuffling the Deck
When I sit down to do these readings, it’s not some super fancy, incense-burning ceremony every single time. It’s more about getting my head in the right space. I usually pick a quiet evening, maybe when I’ve got some chill music playing, or just when the house is calm after everyone’s gone to bed. I’ll clear off a spot on my coffee table, nothing elaborate, just making sure it’s tidy. I always have a little ritual of just taking a few deep breaths, kinda getting centered, you know? I hold the deck in my hands, close my eyes for a moment, and just focus on the intention: what do the Virgos need to know about love this month?
Then comes the shuffling. I don’t have a super professional shuffle; it’s more of a casual, comfortable shuffle that feels right to me. I’ll shuffle for a good long while, just letting my mind wander and connect with the energy. Sometimes a card will jump out during the shuffle, and I always pay attention to that. Those “jumpers” often carry a strong message. Once it feels right, like the cards have had enough of a mix-up, I’ll cut the deck. I usually cut it into three piles and then stack them back up in a different order. This isn’t textbook, it’s just how I do it, how it feels right for me to get that clean start for the reading.
Pulling the Cards and Making Sense of the Chaos
For these monthly love readings for Virgos, I usually stick to a simple spread. I’ve found that less is often more, especially when you’re trying to give a general overview for a whole zodiac sign. I prefer a four-card spread, it covers a good range without being too overwhelming:
- Card One: The Core Energy. This card represents the overall romantic vibe or theme for Virgos this month. It’s like the main headline.
- Card Two: The Challenge/Obstacle. This one highlights any potential bumps in the road or things that might be holding them back in love.
- Card Three: The Opportunity/Action. This card shows them where to focus their energy, what opportunities might arise, or what action they could take.
- Card Four: The Outcome/Advice. This last card gives a glimpse into what might come to pass if they navigate the energies well, or just some general advice for the month ahead.
I lay them out one by one, face down, and then flip them over. That moment of turning each card is always a little thrill. Then, I just start looking at the cards. I don’t immediately dive into what each card “means” from a book. I first just let the images speak to me, the colors, the vibe. Is it a calm card? A chaotic one? Are there people interacting? Are they alone? I try to get a feel for the story the four cards are telling together. For example, if I pull a Nine of Swords (worry) as the challenge, but then a Two of Cups (partnership) as the opportunity, it tells me that maybe the worry is getting in the way of a potential connection or deepening an existing one. It’s not just about the individual meanings, it’s about how they talk to each other.
What It All Means and What I’ve Learned
After I’ve looked at the cards for a while and gotten a sense of the overall message, that’s when I start putting it into words. I try to make it relatable, like I’m just chatting with a friend. I’ll talk about the general energy, what they might be feeling, and then give practical advice based on the cards. It’s never about predicting a specific person or event, but more about encouraging self-awareness and empowered choices. I’ve learned that Virgos, with their analytical minds, really appreciate practical advice and a clear understanding of what’s going on.
Doing these readings, it’s really shown me a lot. Not just about tarot, but about people and relationships. It’s like a monthly snapshot of human connection, or the lack thereof. Sometimes the readings are super clear and positive, with cards like The Lovers or Ten of Cups, and those months feel easy to share. Other times, it’s all about facing tough truths, with cards like The Tower or Three of Swords, and those can be harder to interpret in a gentle, helpful way. But honestly, it’s those challenging readings that often bring the most growth, both for me in understanding the cards and for the Virgos who might be listening. It’s been a surprisingly fulfilling little side thing, helping people just kinda get a grip on their emotions and look ahead with a bit more understanding.
