📔 Questions to reflect on

  1. When you pull a card that challenges you, what immediate emotional or intuitive response does it evoke, and how might that response guide your next steps?
  2. Consider a recent decision you've made. If you were to draw a Tarot card reflecting that choice, which card would it be, and what insights would it offer you now?
  3. How can the symbolism of a particular Tarot card illuminate a hidden strength or a personal challenge you are currently facing in your relationships or career?
