Okay, so yesterday I decided to dive into something totally new for me – a mix of divination and astronomy. I’ve always been curious about both, but never really tried to combine them. It turned out to be a pretty wild ride!
Getting Started
First, I gathered my stuff. I dug out an old deck of tarot cards I had lying around, and printed out a basic star chart for my current location and time. I also downloaded a stargazing app on my phone, just to make sure I was looking at the right stuff.
The Divination Part
I started with the tarot. I’m no expert, so I just did a simple three-card spread – past, present, future. I shuffled the cards, focused on a general question about my “path,” and laid them out. Honestly, the cards I got were kind of spooky accurate. It felt like they were really speaking to my current situation. The past card described the difficulties that have affected me recently, the present card was my current positive and optimistic state of mind, and the future card predicted that everything would develop well for me in the future.
The Astronomy Bit
Then, I headed outside. It was a clear night, thankfully. I used the star chart and the app to find some major constellations. I focused on the ones that felt significant based on the tarot reading – like, if the cards talked about strength, I’d look for constellations associated with strength, you know? I picked out the Leo, and also tried to spot the Big Dipper.
It’s difficult to see bright stars clearly where I live, with all of city lights, so I may need to go somewhere more appropriate next time.
Putting it Together
This was the tricky part. I sat down and tried to see if there were any connections between the tarot reading and the constellations I’d observed. I jotted down some notes, looking for patterns or themes. Did the constellations’ mythology mirror the tarot cards’ messages? It was all pretty intuitive, but it was fascinating to see how these two seemingly different systems could actually talk to each other.
- Tarot Reading: Got The Star card, which is all about hope and inspiration.
- Astronomy Observation: Focused on Ursa Major (the Big Dipper), which is often seen as a guide.
- Combined Meaning: Feeling like I’m on the right path, guided by a sense of hope.
Wrapping Up
I finished by writing everything down in my journal. The whole experience was surprisingly insightful. It wasn’t about predicting the future with 100% certainty, but more about exploring my inner self and my place in the universe. I definitely plan to keep experimenting with this – maybe next time I’ll try using a different divination method, or focus on specific planets instead of constellations. It’s a journey, and I’m excited to see where it takes me!
