Alright, let’s talk about this 7 card spread tarot thing. Don’t you go gettin’ all fancy on me now, it ain’t as complicated as them city folks make it sound.
So, you got yourself seven cards, right? Like a hand of cards, but these here cards, they tell you stuff. Not like poker, mind you, ain’t no gamblin’ here. This is about lookin’ into things, seein’ what might be comin’ down the road, or maybe understandin’ why things are the way they are. It’s like… like lookin’ into a pond, seein’ your reflection, but also seein’ what’s underneath the water, you know?
Now, different folks do it different ways, but here’s how I learned it. You shuffle them cards good, thinkin’ hard about what you wanna know. Then you lay ‘em out. Sometimes in a horseshoe shape, sometimes in a line, sometimes in a circle. It don’t much matter, long as you know what each card means in its spot.
The first card, that’s the main thing. The heart of the matter, so to speak. It’s like… if you’re bakin’ a pie, that’s the kinda pie you’re makin’, apple or cherry or whatever. It sets the whole tone. Like that Chariot card I heard about. Sounds fancy, huh? But it just means you’re gonna get what you want if you try hard enough, like drivin’ a wagon real fast to get where you need to go. Or that 7 of Cups… that means you got too many choices and gotta pick one, like should you eat the cake or the pie first. All them choices swirling around your head. It’s important to focus on one, ya know?
The second card, that’s what’s blockin’ you. The bump in the road, the fly in the ointment. Maybe you want that pie, but you ain’t got no sugar. Or maybe you got too much sugar and don’t know when to stop. You see? It’s the thing you gotta deal with to get what you want.
The third card, that’s what’s been happenin’ lately. Like the weather yesterday, it ain’t the future, but it sure does affect what comes next. If it rained yesterday, the ground might be muddy today, see? If you ate too much yesterday you ain’t gonna be hungry today. Simple as that.
- Card four, that’s what’s under the surface. The stuff you ain’t thinkin’ about, but it’s still there. Like the roots of a tree, you don’t see ’em, but they hold the whole thing up. Or sometimes, it is what you are thinkin’ but you are hidin’ it from yourself, like you ate all the cookies, but you act like you don’t know where they went. That’s your inside self talking
- Card five, that’s what’s comin’ soon. Not the far future, mind you, just the next step. Like… if you’re plantin’ seeds, that’s the little sprout that pops up first. It ain’t the whole plant yet, but it’s a start.
- Card six, that’s what other people think, or what other people are doing that is gonna affect you. Like if your neighbor is gonna borrow your car or the store is gonna run out of milk, something like that. It’s something to keep an eye out for.
- Card seven, that’s the final outcome. The whole pie, baked and ready to eat. But remember, even with pies, things can change. Maybe you burn it a little, maybe you add too much salt. It ain’t set in stone, but it gives you a good idea of where you’re headed.
So, there you have it. Seven cards, each one tellin’ a piece of the story. It ain’t magic, not really. It’s just a way of lookin’ at things from a different angle. Like… like lookin’ at the back of a quilt, you see all the stitches and knots, you understand how it all fits together. This 7 card spread just helps you see those stitches and knots in your life. Don’t you be gettin all caught up in big words and fancy explanations. Just look at the cards and listen to what they tell ya. It’s plain as day, if you just pay attention.
And remember, these cards ain’t gonna make your decisions for ya. They just give you a little somethin’ to think about. You still gotta do the work, you still gotta make the choices. It’s like havin’ a map, it can show you the way, but you still gotta walk the road yourself. So, go on, shuffle them cards, lay ‘em out, and see what they gotta say. But don’t forget to use your own good sense too. That’s the most important thing of all.
