If you’re unfamiliar with tarot, it’s a powerful and unique tool for spiritual guidance (and no, it’s not just about predicting the future: there are no crystal balls required here!). Each deck has a set number of cards with images on them, each representing different spiritual lessons and personality traits. You can draw a card to meditate on or think about in relation to a current situation; you decide what the card means to you and what you do with this knowledge. For example, if you’re unsure about whether to change your major to biology, you can pull a card to help you reflect on your worries and the next step to take. If you pull the Fool card, for instance, it represents new beginnings and potential. You can interpret this reading as a sign that you are ready to take the leap into that new major—and that you should feel confident doing so. The Fool is full of great opportunities, so seize the one that is right in front of you!
Tarot is meant to be an enjoyable, helpful source of wisdom—not an end-all, be-all spiritual solution. So have fun with it! Buy or borrow a deck and pull cards for yourself, or ask your friend to do it for you.
