Beautify Your Life: Tarot Pick a Card

Hello, my soul friends! Today I’m going to do a reading on how to make living a more beautiful experience. When I say this I mean it literally: how you can bring beauty into your everyday life.

Everyone needs beauty. It creates wonder and interest. So let’s find out how you can do that in your life. This reading will talk a lot about style, interior decorating, and your environment.

All you have to do is pick the pile that sticks out to you the most. Which animal inspires your intuition? That’s your pile and that’s your tarot reading.

After you select your cards, scroll down to your pile or choose below.

Today I’m using the Sacred Destiny Oracle deck and the TGS Runes set (these are affiliate links that support me if you make a purchase). Remember that you have free will. That means you can manifest the positive and avoid the negative of any reading.

Now it’s time to beautify your life.

Pile 1: Dinosaur

No Access to Beauty

Your first rune stone is Jera, which is about a good harvest. The second is Kenaz, Reversed, which means exposure. And the third is Laguz, Reversed, meaning poor judgment.

Because of the rest of your spread, I think you have a good environment or good personal skills to cultivate beauty. However, you’re struggling to recognize this and make the most of what you do have.

Instead, the ugliness within your life has been exposed. This may have led to poor decorating choices, a lack of personal style, or living in an ugly place.

For some who chose this pile, you may be to blame for this situation, while for others, it was out of your control. Either way, you currently feel powerless to beautify your life effectively. Some of you may even feel like you’re unattractive.

Listen to Your Heart

Right now you need to be mindful. Your first card is Patience. See how the bird is gracefully flying across the sky? The Sun is at its back, illuminating the figure.

When it comes to the Sun, it’s an astrological sign to embrace creativity and sexuality. For you to cultivate beauty in your life, you need to be willing to listen to your heart and understand where your desires come from instead of the world’s desires. You should be radiant yourself, not wait for the radiance of others.

Beauty is often subjective. While there are rules, there are also options within frameworks. Consider what options you align with most. Don’t like to wear black? Perhaps brown would suit you better. Hate modern art? Maybe you prefer Romanticism.

Use your personality to guide you, but have the patience to hear yourself over the shouting of the rest of society.

Don’t Accept Judgment

The next card is Flexibility. As I look at the tiger on this card, I think of how beautiful and elegant those big cats are. But they’re also dangerous. The truth is that not all beauty is a good fit everywhere.

That’s going to be true in your life too. Right now, you’re trying to make beauty in your life fit where it’s not wanted. Think of the person who follows trends they don’t care about. That’s what I’m seeing here.

For you, being flexible means leaving space for your personality to dominate. Although your ideas of beauty may not work everywhere else, it will work in your life where self-expression matters.

Take time to stop and ask yourself, “If I could change one thing about my surroundings and not be judged, what would it be?” Because I do think you’re afraid of not meeting expectations.

Instead of meeting the expectations of others on subjective beauty, put yours first.

Accept Yourself in This Moment

The last card in your spread is Forgiveness. I think many who chose this pile are already aware of this or will be soon that you boxed up your idea of beauty. Everyone knows that you shouldn’t be influenced by others, but we tend to let it happen anyway.

You need to forgive yourself for the times you erased yourself to fit the standards of beauty of others. It doesn’t help you to agonize over it now. Starting today, at this moment, you can take up space for your idea of beauty.

And it’s okay to make a sudden change. Some of you will gradually transition, while others will have a major transformation when it comes to beauty. Don’t judge either path for yourself. As long as you’re easing into your own idea of beauty, you’re doing things right.

Pile 2: Cow

Be Practical

I pulled three rune stones for your reading. The first is Uruz, meaning wild strength. The second is Eihwaz, which means reliable strength. And the third is Dagaz, meaning a breakthrough.

Your spread is primitive in a good way. It reminds me of minimalism or practical beauty where function comes first.

The Japanese are known for being mindful of the quality of what they create. This is minimalism, but not the cheap minimalism that is common for manufactured furniture and new decorating styles in the West.

You need to go back to basics to beautify your life. That’s because you have to seek function before form.

Consider Your Daily Life

I see that the first card in your spread is Security. I’m drawn to the cave painting here. Nobody knows for sure why hunter-gatherers painted on caves. Some think it’s related to spirituality while others think it’s about handing down hunting knowledge. Or maybe they were just bored.

Regardless, it would’ve served a function in their lives and I want you to know that your choices may be mysterious to others. Your function may not be the function of others. It’s okay to break the rules.

A good example of how this will work is to write down what you do each day and how you respond to your environment. Your behavior should determine how you organize and decorate your home.

If you always leave your keys on the coffee table, you may not care to hang them up by the door. Instead of buying a beautiful key hook you’ll never use, get a bowl or box you love and place it on your coffee table instead. That’s where your keys will go.

Determine the function of your life and let beauty follow in the form you prefer most. You’ll feel more secure knowing that your aesthetic experience matches your lived experience. It will increase the quality of your daily life too.

Your Life Focal Points

The second card in your spread is Simplicity. Beauty for you is about making your life less complex and more focused. Aesthetically, this means finding the focal point that you want the eye to focus on. Everything else should frame that point.

In a bedroom, the bed is the focal point of the room as that is the function of the room. Everything should complement that feature. So in other areas of life, that’s how you should guide your simplicity. What is the focal point of your personal style? Your interior decorating?

Let’s use a less obvious example. Imagine a person moved to the beach because they think that area is beautiful. Their environmental focal point is the beach. But even though they live near the beach, they can’t see it from their home.

Hanging up pictures of that beach would be a good way to bring the focal point of that environment into the home. Simplifying your life isn’t just about decluttering. It’s about making the point obvious.

Coordination is Key

Your third card is Abundance. I know you may think a more functional style means you can’t maximalize the beauty in your life. But that’s not true.

Once you know the function and you determine the focus, you can start to build the beauty into its full abundance.

There’s a trend among fashionable people to have what’s called a “capsule wardrobe.” While some use this to create a minimal wardrobe, others use this as a base. The idea is that you have a basic wardrobe with things that all match.

A goth wouldn’t have a capsule wardrobe with pink frilly dresses. Instead, their wardrobe would be a foundation so that the black top and leather pants could be complemented by something extra: now that pink headband they wear no longer looks out of place because the base of their style is intact. It gives them options to expand their style without losing its essence.

Know that simplifying your life doesn’t mean you don’t have extras. It just means having a strong foundation to coordinate the beauty of your life.

Pile 3: Alpaca

Bring Warmth into Your Life

The first rune in your spread is Wunjo, which means joy. The second is Raidho, meaning a journey. Your third is Sowilo, which means success or the sun. There’s a lot of warmth and positivity in your spread.

In general, I think bringing literal warmth and bright colors into your life would be a good thing. So golds, yellows, oranges, rich browns, and anything with a warm undertone.

Psychologically, this should improve your mood. Now, if you’re like me, you have a cool undertone and prefer to decorate and dress with cooler colors. If you’re someone who prefers blacks and silvers, try finding pictures or symbols that represent warm, happy, or lively things. A silver sun decoration or earrings would be a good fit.

Embrace Joy

Your first card is Embracing. I see this as meaning a desire to embrace happy and life-affirming things. I’ll use an example here to express what I mean.

Say your normal style is something dark and vampiric. You don’t need to change everything about yourself to beautify your life, but you should bring in decorations or colors that will make things more lively to some degree.

This will fixate and orient you towards positive ideas.

Perhaps this hypothetical gothic person loves bats or owls. That would be an example of something lively. And small, colorful embellishments in their home or their accessories would go a long way without changing their entire aesthetic. Dark blue brings vibrant and likely color to a dark wardrobe.

Even the picture on the oracle here card is set in a dark setting, yet it’s warm and inviting. You can bring that energy even into dark spaces.

Your Personality is Your Style

The next card is Taking Risks. I see this as challenging yourself to try something new or different from your current style.

We live in a culture where everybody wants to categorize themselves. This is especially true with beauty standards. It’s normal to divide yourself into specific seasons and style types (I’m a soft summer soft natural), but sometimes these categories can limit you if you take it too seriously.

Think of teenagers who try to fit a certain archetype or clique. They’ll often be afraid to assert their individuality. This often continues with interior decorating in adulthood. People will stick to one type, like modernism or bohemian, and avoid getting anything outside that category.

While you may have a category you love most, be comfortable with breaking the rules. Perhaps you like a bohemian style, but there’s a modernist sculpture that speaks to you. That’s what I mean. Your personality should determine your style, not your style determining your personality.

Have Fun With This

Your last card is Delight. Know that beautifying your life should be a fun journey. If you’re not enjoying how you style your clothing, decorate your home, or experience the world, then change it.

Beauty is something that uplifts and inspires you. It’s also somewhat subjective. That means what one person likes, another doesn’t.

As you go about beautifying your life, you’re going to discover that some things work for you and others don’t. Try not to force something to fit that doesn’t. Because if you try to put something in your life that you hate… you’ll only feel like you’re surrounded by ugly things.
