Alright, so I figured I’d share a bit about what happened when I decided to mess around with this whole “Pisces tarot card” idea the other day. It wasn’t like I had a grand plan, you know? Just one of those moods where you’re feeling a bit floaty, a bit… well, Piscean, and you think, “Why not?” Sometimes you just gotta lean into the vibe, even if the vibe is mostly confusion and too many feelings.
How I Went About It
So, I grabbed my old tarot deck. Not one of those fancy new ones, mind you. This one’s been with me for ages, edges all soft, a few cards probably got tea stains on ’em. Shows character, I reckon. I didn’t bother with some complicated spread I’d have to look up. Nah, kept it simple. Just sat down, took a few deep breaths – probably should do that more often, honestly – and kinda just put the intention out there. Something like, “Okay, cards, what’s the story with this Pisces energy for me right now? Lay it on me.”
I shuffled, cut the deck, and pulled three cards. Didn’t overthink it. First one out was The Moon. No shocker there, right? That card practically screams Pisces. All about dreams, intuition, things hidden beneath the surface, maybe a little bit of illusion too. Then, next to it, came the Two of Cups. Okay, connection, partnership, emotional exchange. Interesting. But the third card, that one threw me for a bit of a loop: the Seven of Swords.
What I Reckoned It Meant (For Me, Anyway)
So, you’ve got The Moon, which is all dreamy and deep. Then the Two of Cups, which feels quite positive, like a genuine heart-to-heart. But then the Seven of Swords? That one usually makes me think of sneakiness, trying to get away with something, maybe even a bit of self-deception. My first thought was, “Well, that’s a mixed bag. What am I supposed to make of this jumble?” It felt a bit like trying to make sense of a dream you only half remember.
I sat with it for a while. The Moon and Two of Cups together felt like wanting this really deep, almost psychic connection with someone or something. That intense Piscean yearning for oneness, you know? But then the Seven of Swords… it made me think. Am I being entirely honest with myself about these connections? Or am I trying to sneak away from some truth, or maybe presenting a version of myself that isn’t quite the full picture to keep things smooth?
It actually took me back to this situation a few years ago. I was involved in this community project, super passionate about it – real Moon card stuff, all ideals and shared dreams. And I thought I had these amazing connections with people, like we were all on the same wavelength, that Two of Cups feeling. But looking back, I was also avoiding some really tough conversations. There were issues bubbling under the surface, things people weren’t saying. And I was part of that, I guess. I didn’t want to rock the boat, so I’d sort of mentally ‘sneak away’ from the conflict, telling myself it wasn’t a big deal. Classic Seven of Swords behavior, but I didn’t see it like that at the time. Of course, it all came to a head eventually, and it was messier because things had been left unsaid for so long.
- That feeling of wanting deep connection (Moon, Two of Cups).
- The reality of perhaps not being fully upfront, or avoiding hard truths (Seven of Swords).
- The consequence of that avoidance from my past.
So, looking at those cards again, it wasn’t about some external person being sneaky to me. It felt more like a nudge about my own patterns. That Piscean desire for harmony is great, but not if it means I’m doing the Seven of Swords dance to avoid what’s real. It was a reminder to check if my deep connections are built on genuine, sometimes uncomfortable, honesty, or if I’m subtly trying to manage perceptions to keep the peace. It’s that Piscean tendency to blur boundaries, maybe even with myself.
So, yeah, that “Pisces tarot card” session wasn’t some big, dramatic revelation from the heavens. More like a quiet conversation with a part of myself I sometimes forget is there. It didn’t solve all my problems, obviously, but it gave me something to chew on. Sometimes these cards are just good for making you stop and actually think for a minute, instead of just drifting along. And for a Pisces-themed pull, well, making you think instead of just dream is probably a good outcome.
