TAROT READING No.2
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.
