Alright, let’s talk about this 9 tarot thing, you know, the card stuff. I ain’t no fancy expert or nothin’, just a plain old woman who’s seen a thing or two, and these cards, well, they sometimes tell a story, ya know? Like lookin’ at clouds, but with pictures.

So, this nine card spread, it’s like layin’ out your life on the table, or at least a piece of it. It ain’t magic, mind you, more like lookin’ at yourself in a mirror, but the mirror shows you more than just your wrinkles. It shows you what’s inside, what’s been, and what might be.
- First, you gotta shuffle them cards. Mix ’em up good, like you’re scrambling eggs. Don’t be gentle, give ’em a good workin’ over. That way, they get all mixed up and don’t remember what order they were in before.
- Then, you lay ’em out. Three rows, three cards in each row. Some folks say you gotta do it a certain way, but I say, just lay ’em out how you feel it. It’s your story, ain’t it? You get to decide how it’s told.
Now, here’s where it gets interestin’. Each card, it means somethin’. I ain’t gonna tell you all the meanings, ’cause that’d take all day and half the night, and I got chores to do. But I’ll give you a taste. Like, that Sun card, that’s a happy one. Means good things are comin’, sunshine and laughter. Then there’s that Tower card, not so good. Means somethin’s gotta change, maybe somethin’s gonna fall apart before it can be built back up better.
You look at the cards, and you see what they’re tellin’ you. The first row, that’s the past. What’s been, what’s done. The second row, that’s the present. What’s happening now, what you’re dealing with. The third row, that’s the future. What might be, what’s comin’ down the road. But remember, the future ain’t set in stone. It’s like a dirt road, you can still change your path, you know?
And them columns, they mean somethin’ too. The first column goin’ down, that could be about your inner self, what’s goin’ on inside your head and heart. The middle column, that’s about the outside world, what’s happening around you, the people you meet, the things you do. And the last column, that’s about the challenges and the opportunities, the things you gotta face and the chances you gotta take.
Some folks use these cards to help ’em make decisions. Like, should I take that job? Should I move to a new place? Should I trust that fella with the shifty eyes? The cards ain’t gonna tell you exactly what to do, but they can help you see things clearer, see what you might be missin’.
But don’t go gettin’ all freaked out if you pull a “bad” card. Like that Death card, it don’t mean you’re gonna die. It just means somethin’s gotta end for somethin’ new to begin. It’s like plantin’ a seed, the old seed has to die for the new plant to grow. Life’s like that, always changin’, always movin’. And these cards, they just show you the way the wind’s blowin’, so you can adjust your sails, you know?
Now, I ain’t sayin’ this 9 tarot spread is the answer to all your problems. Life’s still gonna throw you curveballs, and you’re still gonna have to figure things out for yourself. But these cards, they can be a tool, like a hammer or a hoe. They can help you dig deep, uncover things you didn’t know were there, and help you build a better life for yourself. Just remember to use your common sense, too. Don’t let the cards tell you what to do, let them help you see what you already know in your heart.
And don’t be afraid to experiment. Try different spreads, read different books, talk to different people. There ain’t just one way to do this tarot stuff. Find what works for you, and trust your gut. That’s the most important thing.
So, go on, shuffle them cards, lay ’em out, and see what they gotta say. You might be surprised at what you learn. And remember, it’s all about understanding yourself better. It ain’t some hocus pocus, it’s just a way to look a little deeper inside, you understand?
Tarot reading is a journey, not a destination. Take your time, be patient, and listen to what the cards are telling you. They might just have somethin’ important to say.
