Embracing Self-Love: A Valentine’s Themed Tarot Card Spread and Journaling Journey
As Valentine’s Day approaches, the air is filled with the essence of love, and while it’s often associated with romantic relationships, it’s equally crucial to celebrate the most important relationship of all— the one with yourself. In this blog post, we’ll embark on a heartwarming journey of self-discovery, using a Valentine’s themed Tarot card spread and journaling activity to explore the depths of self-love and understanding.
Materials Needed:
1. Tarot deck of your choice
2. Journal or notebook
3. Pen or pencil
4. Cozy and comfortable space
Step 1: Setting the Stage
Create a tranquil atmosphere for your tarot reading. Light a candle, play soft music, or incorporate any elements that help you feel relaxed and focused. Sit in a comfortable position and take a few deep breaths to center yourself.
Step 2: Shuffle and Draw Your Cards
Begin shuffling your tarot deck while focusing on the intention of self-love and personal exploration. As you shuffle, ask the deck for guidance on different aspects of your self-love journey. Draw a total of six cards, laying them out in a spread that resembles a heart shape.
Step 3: The Valentine’s Themed Tarot Card Spread
1. The Root of Self-Love (Card 1): This card represents the foundation of your self-love journey. What is at the core of your relationship with yourself?
2. The Wings of Self-Expression (Card 2 & Card 3): These cards symbolize the aspects of yourself that you express to the world and the aspects that remain hidden. What parts of yourself are you ready to share, and what do you keep within?
3. The Cup of Emotional Nourishment (Card 4): This card delves into your emotional well-being and what actions or attitudes will nurture and fill your emotional cup.

5. The Arrow of Self-Reflection (Card 6): This final card encourages introspection. What messages from your higher self or inner wisdom can guide you on your self-love journey?
Step 4: Reflecting and Journaling
Now that your cards are laid out, take a moment to gaze at them. Notice any patterns, recurring themes, or specific symbols that catch your attention. Begin journaling your thoughts and feelings based on each card’s interpretation.
