TAROT READING No.2
The cards altogether say I, the querent, will succeed… with a heavy emphasis on being careful and trusting myself. The Knight of Swords is saying I need to speak up, believe in myself and not be scared of criticism… I find this interesting because starting this blog is the first step to exactly that…
NOW + WHERE + HOW
Date: June 23 2026
Spread: 3 CARDS - NOW + WHERE + HOW (+ FALLEN)
Deck: New Century Tarot
Intention: I wanted to do a slightly more in-depth reading than the single-card reading I did for myself, which did not disappoint, so I wanted to dive a little deeper. I chose to do 3 cards, but a 4th fell out, and it was pretty kismet, so it was incorporated into the reading, and reinforced the messages from the other cards.
1. NOW: Temperance ( R )
When the Temperance card is in the ‘You now' position as well as in a “blocked” position (R), it means the querent ( lil old me ) is too willing to compromise and please everyone but themselves. Implying putting others' needs before their own is how the querent got where they are currently.
2. WHERE: Knight of Pentacles
When in the “Where” position, the Knight of Pentacles suggests the querent will create their own success if they are realistic and exercise caution and prudence. The Knight of Pentacles also reminds the querent not to miss out on opportunities or to embrace their potential because they fear change.
3. HOW: Knight of Swords
The position of the Knight of Swords at “How” is saying that the querent needs to speak up and to be more self-assured. Not to fear criticism or to worry about upsetting someone because of their beliefs.
4. FALLEN: The Moon
The Moon is a complex card. This card puts more emphasis on trusting your instincts by stating the need to. Again. In simplest terms, do not let self-deception & the distortion of the truth lead you away from your purpose- you need to stick with it.
INTERPRETATION:
Where do I start? The Moon card “jumping” out of my deck? Which is interesting on its own, without reading further into what the card means. Or, do I start with the two different Knight cards? The cards altogether say I, the querent, will succeed… with a heavy emphasis on being careful and trusting myself. The Knight of Swords is saying I need to speak up, believe in myself and not be scared of criticism… I find this interesting because starting this blog is the first step to exactly that. So that is reassuring. The cards tell me to trust myself, keep doing what I am doing, but to be cautious and use good judgment… that’s literally it.
The Moon card “jumping” out reinforces this … vague yet pointed message….
I was broad with my intention, and the response was pretty broad in return. I will probably do a more fine-tuned spread, like the Celtic Cross, with a clearer intention. Like i know what i feel in my heart, but like…. I DON’T TRUST MYSELF OK!!!!! I ask the cards what to do because I am unsure, and they say keep doing what I’m doing and to not doubt myself…
ADDITIONAL NOTES:
I’m planning to start doing more practice readings on other people. My readings feel poignant for me, but I’m curious if they will be helpful or insightful for others.

NEW CENTURY TAROT
One Card: Four Of Wands ( R)
Four of Wands (R) indicates a new freedom from situations that no longer suit you. Whether the relationship is with yourself, your job, or someone in your life, you can break free from self-imposed limits and open yourself to new possibilities. It is time to leave the past behind and enter the next chapter of life.
Osho Zen Tarot
One Card: The Burden (clouds & Mind)
“If life these days feels like just a struggle from the cradle to the grave, it could be time to shrug your shoulders and see what it feels like to walk without these characters on your back.
You have your own mountains to conquer, your own dreams to fulfill, but you will never have the energy to pursue them until you release yourself from all the expectations you’ve gathered from others but now think are your own.” - Osho Zen Tarot
Interpretation: I got the insight I was looking for, which is reassurance on what I've been processing. Both of these cards, on their own and together, speak directly and clearly to my current experience, which is nice. This is comforting in a way. The realization felt like a slap to my face; it was obvious. But it’s also all I’ve ever known. The patterns that have been repeating in the form of experiences and the people I’ve loved, I finally see the root. I‘m frustrated I didn’t realize sooner, but I wasn't ready. The last 9 months have completely changed me, and I've been grieving a lot. I’ve been grieving myself, my life, my family, and the ugly reality of this world… “All endings are beginnings”. My heart's been aching in silence, as some of my core wounds have been reopened. This reading, as well as the book “The Hero Within,” has been a great source of comfort. Which, if I am being completely honest, is completely needed right now.
