So, I decided to try out a 5 card tarot spread today. I’ve been feeling a bit all over the place lately, and I thought, why not see what the cards have to say? I’m no expert, but I’ve dabbled in tarot readings before, so I figured I’d give it a shot.
First things first, I cleared my space. I lit a candle, put on some chill music, and took a few deep breaths. It’s important to be in the right headspace before you start, you know? Then, I shuffled my deck while thinking about what I wanted to get out of the reading. I didn’t have a specific question in mind, just a general sense of wanting some guidance.

My 5 Card Tarot Spread
Once I felt ready, I started laying out the cards. Here’s what I pulled and how I interpreted them:
- Card 1: This card represents the general theme of the reading. I got the Chariot, which I think is all about willpower and moving forward. Seems like I’m on the right track, even if I feel a bit lost at times.
- Card 2: This one is supposed to show the past influences. I drew the High Priestess, which is interesting. I’ve always seen her as a symbol of intuition and hidden knowledge. Maybe it means I need to trust my gut more.
- Card 3: This card is about the present situation. I pulled the Lovers, which is not just about romantic relationships. It can also represent choices and finding harmony. I guess I’m at a crossroads and need to make some decisions.
- Card 4: This one is all about the challenges I’m facing. I got the Tower, which, let’s be honest, is a bit scary. It usually signifies sudden change and upheaval. But I guess it can also mean breaking down old structures to build something new.
- Card 5: This is the likely outcome if things continue as they are. I drew the Star, which is a beautiful card. It’s all about hope, inspiration, and healing. So, despite the Tower’s potential for chaos, things might actually turn out pretty good in the end.
Overall, it was a really interesting reading. It definitely gave me some food for thought. I’m still processing it all, but I feel a bit more centered and hopeful now. I think the main takeaway is that I need to trust my intuition, make some tough choices, and be prepared for some changes, but ultimately, things will work out. Pretty cool, right? I might just make this 5 card spread a regular thing.
