So yesterday I saw this TikTok ad shouting “READ HIS MIND INSTANTLY!” and honestly? My nosy side got curious. Grabbed my dusty Rider-Waite deck from the back of the closet, figuring I’d test this “What Is He Thinking” spread everyone keeps talking about. Total impulse move.
The Setup Struggle
Plonked myself on the living room floor after dinner. Cleared a space near the coffee stain I still haven’t cleaned. Felt kinda silly shuffling these cards thinking about Dave, this guy I’ve been casually texting who suddenly got vague with his replies. “What’s really going on in that head?” – that was my big question.
Shuffled rough, cards flying everywhere. Dropped half the deck – bad sign already. Scooped ‘em up quick, tried that “focus your energy” thing people say. Honestly? Mostly focused on not spilling my tea. Spread the cards face down like the TikTok video showed:
- Card 1: What He’s Consciously Thinking
- Card 2: His Hidden Emotions (Ooh, juicy!)
- Card 3: What He Wants Moving Forward
The Flip & Stare Session
Flipped Card One. Seven of Wands. Dude fighting with something? Okay, cool. Maybe work stress? My brain jumped: “Is that why he’s ignoring me?”
Card Two – The Moon reversed. Hidden feelings my foot. Google told me this means confusion or deception. Great. Now I’m sweating. Is he lying? Messing me around? My tea got cold real fast.
Card Three. Six of Pentacles. Something about balance, give-and-take? Maybe he wants things fair between us? Or maybe just splitting the bill next time? Honestly, confused.
Sat there staring like the cards would magically talk. They didn’t. Just cardboard staring back. Scrolled three different tarot meaning websites. Contradictions everywhere! One site said The Moon reversed means fear. Another said self-deception. Which one applied? No clue. Felt like I was decoding a bad text message.
The Reality Check Moment
Spent maybe an hour stressing over possible meanings. Imagined whole scenarios: Is Dave fighting feelings for me? Is he confused because he’s also seeing someone else? Blah blah blah. Then it hit me. Hard truth.
I just wasted an hour interpreting random pictures trying to mind-read some guy instead of… you know… maybe just asking him what’s up? The cards didn’t tell me anything Google couldn’t. They just gave me vague excuses to spiral.
That “Fast” feeling the ad promised? Nah. Faster to text “Hey everything ok? You’ve been quiet.” And guess what? He replied ten minutes later: “Crazy work deadline, super sorry! Tell you about it Friday?”
Verdict: Cards are fun for stories, not mind-reading. Save your energy. Ask. Him. Directly. My intuition was yelling that the whole time – I just drowned it out shuffling cardboard.
