In today’s episode, we’re focusing on tarot and intuition—how to trust your inner knowing, read cards without memorizing meanings, and deepen your connection to self through imagery and emotion.
How to do a 3-card Intuitive Insight spread:
Ground & Set Intention
Take a few deep breaths. Place a hand over your heart or close your eyes. Set an intention: “Let me hear what my body already knows. Let the cards reflect what’s true beneath the surface.”
Pull Three Cards from one deck or intuitively from several:
Card 1 – The Embodied Awareness (Physical reactions, somatic clues, what does it feel like in your body)
What is your body trying to tell you?
Card 2 – The Emotional Layer (Feelings under the surface, inner weather, unspoken moods)
What emotion or energy wants to be named?
Card 3 – The Inner Knowing (Intuitive clarity, soul-level nudges, gentle direction)
What deeper truth or next step is rising?
Feel Before You Define
Before reaching for a guidebook, pause. Let yourself respond to the card instead of interpreting it.
What’s your first reaction to the imagery?
Do you feel tension or ease?
Is there a color or symbol that stands out?
Integrate
Journal. Voice note. Take your time and sit with the insight. Tarot and intuition grow clearer the more you listen.
3-Card Intuitive Insight Spread using The Desert Illuminations, Therapists Who Tarot, and Anima Mundi decks:
Card 1 - From The Desert Illuminations Tarot, I pulled:
Ten of Jugs (Reversed) – Physical reaction: discomfort, retreat. This card suggests a hesitation around closeness, joy, or collaboration—even when it’s wanted.
Card 2 - From Therapists Who Tarot Deck, I pulled:
Nine of Swords (Upright) – Emotional state: despair, emotional overload, feeling unseen in a crowd. A reminder to name what’s weighing on you and seek spaciousness.
Card 3 - From Anima Mundi Tarot, I pulled:
Eight of Cups (Upright) – Intuitive knowing: it’s time to walk away. Not in failure, but as an act of deep listening. Something has run its course.
