Four days ago, I did a tarot reading for myself. It’s not something I do very often, especially in the last number of years but since the end of 2025, I’ve felt a gentle pull back towards old spiritual practices that I’ve picked up on and off. The way that I can describe it is like a slow opening of the heart to things I used to distance myself from.
I found a healing tarot spread, and felt pulled to do it with the wirth tarot cards.
1. What needs healing right now?
6 of Wands: Shared Choices. Healing from shared choices feels like whatever it is that I’d been doing in attempt to be lockstep with those around me. It feels like any choice that wasn’t completely autonomous but made with the consideration of what others might think, thus creating decisions that had been slightly influenced.
2. What is blocking your healing?
8 of Coins: Money, Loan. I suppose that might be the attachments I had, on top of any material benefits I might have been enjoying from decisions made that way. On a higher level, it is also listening to others about what reality looks like and is made of. In my reflections, especially considering the trust I have in my intuition, I have a tendency to outsource what I think to other people who have been both more adventurous, commanding, and vocal about the way they construct their own inner worlds.
3. What is my body, heart, spirit craving?
9 of Swords: Achievements Obtained Through Willpower. While the wirth deck is not as illustrative as other decks, the traditional meaning of the card tends towards a certain surrender. This deck implies a more powerful, intentioned action and I believe it reads that I’m aware of the way forward, and it’s time to move towards it with more confidence vs. doubting myself, to develop both trust and strength in my relationship to my own voice.
4. What energy do I need to embrace for healing?
The Stars: Fate, Beauty, Art, Unplanned Pregnancy. This card is special to the reading because I had a vision of it hours before. As I was doing the reading as well, I felt pulled towards it before I knew flipped it over. So I think it’s the focal point of the reading, completing all the synchronicities towards surrender, inspiration, and relationship with the natural forces. Surrender and relationship feels particularly underlined.
5. How can I support my healing journey?
9 of Wands: Travel, Study, Having Clear Ideas. This is about supporting my intuition, exposing myself without prejudice to the world around me and allow ideas and experiences to change me. I also think it’s about putting in an effort to make those experiences happen. In particular, if there’s anything I can take small leaps of faith for, this is a good time to do so.
6. What will be the outcome if I fully embrace healing?
Page of Swords: Phase of Discussion with Oneself and Those Around You. I suppose this doesn’t mean the end of anything but the beginning of another phase of my exploration. From shared choices to the page of swords’ discussions with myself and those around me, it indicates the bubbling of more original ideas and interactions with those around me for more development.
