last night, i was shuffling through my deck, asking simple questions regarding my time at work, relationships with certain people etc. after i was done with the cards, i put them back into their box and placed them in my drawer — where they usually are. i made sure to get ALL of the cards so i wouldn’t lose them.

this morning tho, when i woke up and looked down at the floor, i saw these three cards for some reason.

i know for a fact they weren’t there last night because i checked to make sure i got all of them in the box. i don’t know how they escaped and what it means. any ideas?

I asked the tarot whether I should apologize for something I did in the past (10 months of silence) or just leave it alone. I pulled: The Fool, 6 of Cups, Page of Cups, Page of Pentacles, and Strength.

I interpreted it as advice to apologize, but without expecting anything in return. The Fool suggests taking a new step and leaving the old cycle behind, while the 6 of Cups strongly connects the situation to the past. The Page of Cups feels like a sincere emotional gesture or apology, and the Page of Pentacles suggests making that gesture simple, genuine, and grounded rather than turning it into a huge emotional conversation. Strength at the end feels like having the courage to send it, while also having the self-control to accept whatever happens afterward??

Six of Cups - Temperance - Four of Pentacles

Having a sweet innocent love affair intimately with you without letting himself do it.

Having a sweet innocent love affair - Six of Cups

intimately with you - Temperance

without letting himself do it. - Four of Pentacles

Six of Cups Little Boy is doing a sweet innocent love affair intimately, giving his

girl flowers.

Temperance is when someone communicates intimately with you. Tarot Verbatim

sees the pouring back and forth of water and wine to blend them as communication,

intimacy, and anything back-and-forth.

Four of Pentacles stifles himself. He isn't letting himself do it. He holds onto

himself like he holds onto his secret that likely has something to do with that town in

the background and the money he hangs onto.

Devil - Two of Cups - Five of Wands

He hates the influence you have on him, and how he fights it.

He hates - Devil

the influence you have on him - Strength

and how he fights it. - Five of Wands

Devil The Rider Waite Smith deck's Devil is the ugly goat one from the Middle Ages

with the horns and tail, so this card is going to stand in for vices and other

reprehensible things the way it does today with 'He hates.'

Strength is so strong spiritually that she renders would-be attackers and opponents

harmless, from afar. As a spiritual savant, the influence you have on him when you

are like her stymies him.

Five of Wands pictures five fellows engaged in some heavy activity, each armed with

a long log they are hoisting into the air. It describes how he fights it, here.

Nine of Cups – Nine of Pentacles – Five of Pentacles

He wants you, the woman who doesn’t need a man, to do without.

He wants – Nine of Cups

you, the woman who doesn’t need a man, - Nine of Pentacles

to do without, to suffer. - Five of Pentacles

Nine of Cups is usually the first card you recognize: Your Wish Is Granted. The diner

has eaten and drunk his fill, has had it all. It means ‘get what you want’ and also just

means ‘to want.’ Here, it is saying ‘He wants.’

Nine of Pentacles has everything she needs right at her fingertips. She owns the

vineyard and the land it is on. Want to do business? She works from home there; you

come to see her. She is the woman who doesn’t need a man ... doesn’t need

anything, really. And here she is next door to Nine of Cups in this spread, who also has

everything at his fingertips!

Five of Pentacles The dark night of the soul comes, the time to do without, to

suffer. No one helps you in this situation. Her son’s leprosy is why that church that

would feed anyone in need and give them shoes and clothes and a warm bed exempts

her from all those benefits so she is alone freezing on the winter street in the middle of

the night.

(For context, I’ve had a most horrible last ten years. I was caregiver to my husband who passed four years ago. I’ve also left a high-control religion. I’ve grieved a lot and gone through absolute hell. Recently learned I can connect to Spirit, so I started reading for myself.)

I’m seeing that I’m learning how to nurture myself and have to remember to keep doing that to better communicate with my loved ones who’ve passed.
They’re actually helping a great change come in for me. And possibly a fast transition. I feel the need to keep from becoming overwhelmed.

Overall, I see a major change for the better, maybe in money and relationships.

Can you add anything? Yes, I realize this is a learning deck, but I’m also trying to listen to my intuition. Any encouragement in my journey, learning tarot?
