Exploring February's Tarot: Insights and Reflections
Written on
Chapter 1: The Essence of February
February serves as a transitional period, bridging the cold embrace of winter with the budding warmth of spring. It presents a perfect opportunity for introspection and personal evolution. If your New Year’s resolutions have begun to wane, now is an ideal moment to regain focus and realign those goals with your inner self. This month encourages a deeper understanding of personal development and self-awareness. For further insights on the significance of February, visit the Spiritual Meanings website.
In this month’s reading, you'll draw three cards based on the spread displayed below. Prior to starting, I cleansed the cards, engaged in meditation, and utilized the stones shown in the accompanying image to harness the month’s energies. The stones featured are amethyst and kiwi jasper.
To begin, clear your mind, release any preconceived notions, and take a deep breath. Be mindful not to reveal the cards too soon. You should keep them hidden until you have selected your three cards for February.
Start by choosing card one, which represents what you know. Then, with a serene mind, select card two, symbolizing what you should focus on. Finally, again in a tranquil state, choose card three, which will unveil what is to be revealed.
You will notice two additional cards lying face-up at the bottom right. These cards emerged during the shuffle and carry a message pertinent to everyone involved in the reading. Their meanings will be disclosed later. Below, you will find the cards revealed along with their interpretations: what you know, what to focus on, and what will be uncovered.
