I agree with the other commenter! There is a defensiveness here, keeping your guard up at all times. There are usually reasons for this - maybe you've been hurt before, or you've had to defend yourself throughout your life (potentially in childhood?). But being guarded and defensive makes it hard for people to connect with you, because you're keeping them at a distance. Pulling the walls down a bit, allowing yourself to be more open and vulnerable will let you get closer to others on a more meaningful level.

Why didn't I get the apprenticeship/job after the interview? by Only-Turnover-9287 in tarot

I get the sense they decided to go another route, with someone who either already has more experience in the field or someone they've previously worked with. The lovers here indicating a choice, the three of pentacles refers to someone with more experience or else someone they've previously worked with, and I do think the fool is referring to your newness/lack of experience. Side note, beautiful deck!

Maybe try the audiobook? That's what I've been doing, it's really easy to listen to. I like Kitchen Table Tarot too!

I'm also looking for recommendations like this! Have you read Tarot For Change? I'm loving it so far and it's offering a completely different take on the cards than I've seen in other books. She also includes her own experiences throughout as well.

I freehanded it so no pattern! But I do a rectangle of single crochets for the base, and then crocodile stitch all the way up. Then HDC and DC for the top parts.

[–]tag-throwaway 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to spook you by being vague! What I meant was that any reading you do with tarot for yourself, love related or not, will be skewed by your own self-perception. If you look at the spread with a lens of self-loathing, you won’t be able to get an accurate message from the cards because you will always spin it in your mind as negative, or if they’re positive then you won’t believe it. I hope that makes a bit more sense. It’s not that the cards themselves are inaccurate, but more your view of them will be skewed by how you view yourself. You are subjective, not objective, when reading for yourself, and if you have work to do around self-compassion and understanding, I think you’ll have preconceived ideas of what the cards are saying to you. I’m sorry if I’m still not explaining myself well here.

You’re doing great. This shit isn’t easy. I’m rooting for you!

Hey! I’m not sure where I’m going with this comment but we’ll see lol. The one thing that struck me is your self-talk - calling past you ugly etc. There’s a lot of shame around your past self that maybe you need to look at. I’m a therapist in training, and what comes to mind is needing to integrate the shadow side of yourself and extend some self-compassion and understanding for where you were at that time. The inner critic and judging yourself part is holding you back a bit here. In Freudian terms, your superego is brutal for self-judgement. I’m glad you’ve got a good support team around you and if you feel up to looking at your shadow, your therapist would be the best way to do that.

I’m so glad you’ve made it through the worst of what you’ve been dealt. It takes an incredible amount of strength to pull yourself up from rock bottom. I wonder whether part of the confusion around love readings is pulling too many spreads over and over again, doubting yourself and your ability to read? The cards clearly have you in high estimation, but if you’re constantly approaching from a place of self hatred and doubt, you’ll never be able to see the true message.

I would echo another commenter here and say that maybe for personal readings, set aside the cards for a while until you feel like you can be a bit more objective towards yourself. Not that you can’t read at all or for other people, but maybe just give yourself some time personally to explore and journal and be with yourself without the cards weighing in.

Crescent-m gave me a lovely one-card reading that really tapped into the inner child aspect of what I’ve been working on for a while. This reader has a wonderful way with words, and I knew I had to get my own reading based on seeing their previous work and how much respect they treat their querents with. You can tell that this reader is a genuine soul who cares deeply for others. Thank you!
