Pick a Card: What Your Soul Needs to Hear Right Now

There’s something different about today, isn’t there? Maybe you woke up with questions swirling in your mind, or perhaps you’ve been feeling like you’re standing at some invisible crossroads. Whatever brought you here, I’m glad you found this reading.

I’ve been reading tarot for over 45 years, and there’s something I’ve learned: when people find their way to a pick-a-card reading, it’s never really by accident. Your intuition has been working overtime lately, hasn’t it?

How This Works (And Why It Actually Works)

Using my Knight-Waite Tarot deck—the one I created as a love letter to the traditional Rider-Waite and all the beloved decks that came before—I’ve pulled five cards that each carry a message someone needs to hear today. Not everyone, just someone. Maybe that someone is you.

Here’s what you need to do:

• Take a moment to center yourself
• Think about what’s been weighing on your heart lately
• Look at the five cards below and notice which number draws your attention first
• Don’t overthink it—your gut reaction is usually right
• Scroll down to find your card’s message

After over four decades of doing this work—from my early days learning the cards to creating my own Knight-Waite deck—I’ve stopped being surprised by how often people tell me their reading was exactly what they needed to hear.

Your Readings

Card 1: The Sun

Well, would you look at that.

If you picked this card, I have some really good news for you. The Sun is one of those cards that makes me smile every time I see it, because it means someone is about to step into their power in a big way.

You know that thing you’ve been working on? That dream that sometimes feels too big or too scary to really believe in? The Universe is giving you a giant green light. It’s not luck, this is about all your hard work finally clicking into place.

I’m seeing success coming from an unexpected direction. Maybe not the path you originally planned, but honestly? It’s going to be better than what you had mapped out. The Sun doesn’t do anything halfway.

What you need to know: Stop second-guessing yourself. That confidence you’ve been building? It’s real, and it’s time to let it show. People will start noticing you differently, in the best possible way.

Your next step: Whatever you’ve been putting off because you didn’t feel “ready enough”—now’s the time. You’re more ready than you think.

Card 2: Three of Cups

Oh, this is lovely.

If the Three of Cups called to you, your social world is about to get a lot more interesting. This card always reminds me of those moments when you realise you’ve found “your people”

Someone’s coming into your life who’s going to get you in a way that surprises both of you. Or maybe it’s someone who’s already there, but your relationship is about to deepen significantly. Either way, connection is the theme here.

I keep getting the sense that you’ve been feeling a bit isolated lately, like you’re on the outside looking in. That’s changing. There’s celebration coming—might be literal (like a party or achievement), but it’s more about finding reasons to feel genuinely happy about your relationships.

What you need to know: The loneliness you’ve been carrying is not permanent. You haven’t been doing anything wrong, you’ve just been waiting for the right people to show up.

Your next step: Say yes to invitations, even when you don’t feel like it. Start conversations with people who seem interesting. Your next meaningful connection might occur in a completely ordinary setting.

Card 3: The Hermit

Ah, seeking deeper truths, are we?

The Hermit chose you, which tells me you’re in one of those profound growth phases. You know the ones where everything you thought you knew gets turned upside down, but somehow it feels necessary.

It’s not being lonely or cut off from people but finally having the space to hear your own voice clearly. You’ve been getting wisdom downloads lately, haven’t you? Those moments where something just clicks and suddenly you understand something about yourself or your life that you never saw before.

The answers you’ve been looking for aren’t going to come from other people right now. They’re already inside you, waiting for you to get quiet enough to hear them.

What you need to know: This introspective phase you’re in isn’t a detour from your path—it IS the path. The insights you’re gaining now will change everything for the better.

Your next step: Make space for solitude without feeling guilty about it. Journal, take long walks, sit with your thoughts. The breakthrough you’re looking for is coming through stillness, not action.

Card 4: Ace of Pentacles

Now we’re talking about manifestation.

The Ace of Pentacles is basically the Universe handing you a golden ticket, but for the material world. If this card picked you, there’s a new opportunity coming that’s going to have real, tangible benefits.

This could be career-related, financial, or even about a project you’ve been wanting to start. The key thing about Aces is that they represent beginnings—fresh starts that have serious potential if you nurture them properly.

I’m getting strong “new job” or “business opportunity” vibes, but it might also be about finally monetising a skill you’ve been undervaluing. Either way, your practical, earthy talents are about to be recognised in a way that pays off.

What you need to know: This opportunity might not look huge at first, but don’t let that fool you. Small seeds can grow into mighty trees if you tend them well.

Your next step: Keep your eyes open for chances to showcase your skills. Update that resume, start that project, have that conversation you’ve been avoiding. The door is opening—you just need to walk through it.

Card 5: Two of Swords

Standing at the crossroads, I see.

The Two of Swords means you’re facing a decision that feels bigger than it should. You know the kind—where both options seem equally valid and equally terrifying, so you end up frozen, hoping the choice will somehow make itself.

Here’s what I want you to know: you’re not as stuck as you feel. You have more clarity about this situation than you’re giving yourself credit for. The problem isn’t a lack of information—it’s that you’re trying to make the “perfect” choice, and perfect choices don’t exist.

Sometimes we have to make decisions with incomplete information and trust that we’ll figure it out as we go. Your intuition already knows which way you’re leaning, even if your logical mind is still weighing pros and cons.

What you need to know: There’s no wrong choice here, just different paths. Both options will teach you something important, so stop trying to predict which one will be “better.”

Your next step: Set a deadline for this decision. Write down your gut reaction before you start overthinking. Then trust it. You’re more capable of handling whatever comes next than you realize.

A Few Final Thoughts

Here’s something I’ve learned after 45 years and thousands of readings: the cards don’t tell you your future—they reflect back what your soul already knows. If one of these messages resonated with you, it’s because some part of you was already aware of this truth.

The real magic happens when you take what you’ve learned and do something with it.

Whatever card you chose, whatever message you received, it found you at precisely the right time. Trust that. Trust yourself.

And remember: you’re more powerful than you know, more supported than you feel, and more ready than you think.

The path forward is there. You just have to take the first step.
