My Usual Weekly Ritual
Every Sunday evening, I clear off my wooden desk near the window. Grab my tarot deck – the one with the faded edges – and my coffee-stained notebook. This week I decided to focus on Virgo energy since Mercury’s acting wild.
Getting Into The Zone
First I lit that cheap cinnamon candle from the dollar store. Took three deep breaths like always, shaking out my hands. While shuffling, I kept thinking about Virgo friends who messaged me last week stressing over deadlines. Wondered what practical nudges they might need.
The Card Pull
Did my three-card spread face down, knuckles rapping each one before flipping:
- First card: Eight of Pentacles upside down. Made me chuckle – typical Virgo overwork warning! Like hammering away without checking if the wall’s straight.
- Middle card: Queen of Swords popped up. Sharp energy – cut the fluff, say no faster.
- Last card: Two of Cups reversed. Screamed “stop people-pleasing!” at me.
Connecting The Dots
Scratched notes in my book: Focus areas = work balance + boundaries + honest convos. Realized all three cards pointed to Virgos forgetting their own needs. Drew lil arrows between them showing how perfectionism leads to resentment.
Testing The Guidance
Texted my Virgo buddy Sarah asking if she’s taken a lunch break yet. Got back “LOL forgot lunch but fixed my coworker’s spreadsheet formatting!” Exactly the eight of pentacles mess. Told her about the queen of swords energy – she literally ghosted that draining group chat after our talk.
The reversed two of cups? Called my mom instead of just texting happy birthday. Heard her voice crack – hadn’t realized how much that mattered.
Why This Worked
The cards nailed the pattern: Virgos grinding while relationships rust. This week’s all about fixing that imbalance. Not rocket science – just remembering humans aren’t robots. Gonna keep tracking how these small shifts play out.
