On mornings (or afternoons, evenings even!) when I have chance, I do a 3 card spread with each of my 3 favourite tarot decks. It feels highly indulgent and rooted in self-care. I look for patterns and write down what I feel strongest in my bones. Sometimes the same card will turn up for a string of days; sometimes the same card will show up twice in one reading. It's all quite fascinating. A total of nine cards might be too much and I'm thinking of narrowing it down to one card from each deck...but I'm not sure I could do that. Plus it takes a while to get each deck from its respective box then cover it up again. I might as well make it worthwhile, right? My inner child loves this process, this care given to the cards, this nod to each deck and its particular quirks and strengths. Today my reading seemed to be a little bit of everything--take care with boundaries, trust my intuition, keep persevering, a kind woman will look beyond my armour. The next time I come to my notebook I jot down notes about the day, ways in which the cards supported what transpired, ways in which the cards informed me but that I missed. As much as possible, I strive to be objective and to not make the practice a self-fulfilling prophecy. But more than anything else I revel in the mystery and beauty of the cards and I indulge myself by peeking into what a fresh new day could hold.

I love your daily practice with tarot. It is fascinating that you can find similarities from day to day. I like how you reflect on the cards in the evening. This is something I would like to try as a daily practice ❤️
