Man, if you’d told me a few years back I’d be sitting here talking about monthly love tarot, I’d have probably just laughed. But here we are, and let me tell you, it’s been a bit of a ride, something I started doing almost on a whim and then, without even realizing it, it kinda stuck with me.
I remember just scrolling through feeds, probably late at night, feeling a bit adrift, as one does sometimes. And then I stumbled upon these “monthly love tarot” readings for Virgos. My sign. I wasn’t really a believer in that stuff, not truly. I just figured, hey, why not? It’s like checking a horoscope, right? Just a bit of fun, a quick peek into what might be. I started by just skimming, looking for the good bits, the promising words. “Love is on the horizon!” “A new connection is coming!” That sort of thing. I wanted confirmation, I guess. Confirmation that things would be okay, or that some grand romantic plot was about to unfold just for me.
My Journey with Fate and Cards
I distinctly recall a period when things in my love life felt… stagnant. Or maybe more accurately, just plain confusing. I was trying to figure out what I really wanted, what I was even doing. And every month, I’d pull up that Virgo love tarot. Most times, I’d read it, nod along if it sounded nice, and completely forget it five minutes later if it brought up anything challenging. I was using it as a sort of escapism, a way to fantasize about a predetermined ‘fate’ where everything would just magically sort itself out without me having to do much heavy lifting. I was passively waiting for the universe to just deliver.
But then, something shifted. It wasn’t a grand revelation, more like a slow dawning. There was this one particular month’s reading. It didn’t just talk about outcomes. It talked about introspection. About releasing expectations. About facing uncomfortable truths within myself before anything external could really change. It wasn’t promising a knight in shining armor; it was asking me to become my own knight, in a way. This hit different. It felt like a gut punch, but a good one. It made me pause. It made me re-read it, not just once, but several times.
That’s when I started to change how I approached these readings. I stopped just looking for predictions. I began to treat them as prompts, almost like journal entries. When the cards suggested “healing past wounds,” I wouldn’t just think, “Okay, sure, whatever.” Instead, I’d grab my notebook and ask myself, “What wounds? What exactly needs healing right now?” If it mentioned “trusting your intuition,” I’d spend time trying to quiet the noise and really listen to that inner voice, something I was terrible at doing before.
I started seeing the “Fate” aspect of these readings differently too. It wasn’t about a pre-written script I just had to follow. It was more about understanding the energies at play, both within me and around me, and then actively choosing how I wanted to engage with them. It became a tool for self-reflection and personal growth, not just a fortune-telling gimmick. I started to understand that my actions, my willingness to grow, my choices – these were all co-creating my “fate.” I remember a reading that talked about stepping out of my comfort zone. Before, I’d have ignored it. This time, I actually pushed myself to reach out to someone I usually wouldn’t, just to expand my social circle. It wasn’t a romantic connection, but it was a step, a change I made because of that little prompt.
I found myself digging a little deeper into the symbolism, too. Not getting all esoteric and weird, but just thinking about what the images or common card meanings represented for my current situation. It became a monthly check-in with my emotional state, my desires, and my fears. I’d actually sit with the cards’ message for a few days, letting it simmer. It helped me recognize patterns in my own behavior, things I was doing repeatedly that weren’t serving me. It challenged me to consider different perspectives on relationship dynamics, not just waiting for someone else to change, but looking at my own contribution.
So, yeah, what started as a casual scroll-through turned into a whole different practice. It’s not about the cards having all the answers or predicting every twist and turn. For me, it became about using those monthly insights as a springboard for my own self-discovery, to push myself to reflect, to grow, and to remember that my own agency plays a massive role in shaping the love story I’m living. It taught me that “fate” isn’t just something that happens to you; it’s something you actively participate in creating, one thoughtful step at a time.
