Pile 1: Horse
The Importance of Personal Style
You need to balance your emotional needs with the emotional needs of others. The King of Cups is a strong sign that decorating with your heart will bring fulfillment and reward to your life.
It’s not unusual these days for people to decorate based on a style. And I understand that: after all, we want our homes to be aesthetically pleasing and what better way to do that than to follow a specific style like modern, bohemian, or cottagecore.
But there’s a problem with this approach. A cozy home doesn’t buy that entire catalogue at once and doesn’t try to look like a catalogue. Instead, the home might have slightly different styles and personal effects that make it unique.
The way this is done is not by trying to decorate to a style, but filling your home with things you love.
You may not think it’ll be cohesive, but you don’t like everything and your preferences will summarize into something distinct and beautiful.
Compromise If Needed
More than anything, balance is key. Temperance is calling you to consider both form and function.
I love dark furniture. I love traditional furniture. Clutter is my soul. However, I struggle to keep such items clean and have compromised with what I call a “pastel danish english cottage.” The light colors and modern furniture makes it easy to clean, but I pick rounder and softer pieces than would be standard in traditional pastel danish style.
However you plan to decorate your home, ask yourself if you can maintain that style or not. You may need to compromise on the quantity of pieces, the detail (and thus surface area to clean!), or color.
Consider this: a person loves to read. However, they struggle to dust and their books prematurely age. So they decided to have a single bookshelf and only keep their favorite books. The rest they borrow from the library or download as an e-book.
Writing down how you use your home and how well you maintain that area may be enlightening. A messy home will bring you (and others) emotional distress.
Open Up the Discussion
The Ten of Cups was what clued me into you needing to beautify your home, but it also is about considering the needs of the people and pets you live with.
It’s not fun to live with someone who tries to dictate the aesthetic of a space. If you live alone, great, but be prepared to compromise if you ever move in with anyone in the future.
For those who do live with others now, make decorating the home a collaboration. Even if you live with someone that’s happy to defer to your wisdom, pick out a selection you’re happy with and then let them make the final decision for at least some items you decorate with.
I’ve even see people do this with pets: they take their pet to the pet store and let them pick out their bed!
The point being is that everyone deserves to feel happy in their beautiful home. Give them that option.

Pile 2: Sign
Loss of Confidence
Your spread is all about creating beauty, not merely experiencing beauty created by nature or someone else. But the Strength, Reversed card indicates you’re not happy with your work.
There can be a lot of reasons for this, but I think your spread indicates you’re thinking too broadly and abstractly and it’s too much work.
Think of the author who wants to create a fantasy world with a hundred books tied to it. They’re so future-focused that it’s impossible for them to feel happy with what they created early in their career. It just feels unfinished to them.
So what you’re being called to do isn’t to focus on your life’s work or a major creative project… but something that can be done relatively quickly.
Scale Back Your Depth
The Eight of Pentacles is about small details, and I’m really getting the sense of crafting, DIY, or some sort of kit. A lot of creative people or people who would like to be creative find it helps to have a creative hobby that isn’t tied to their ego.
For example, that fantasy writer might enjoy doing embroidery kits of animals and then putting their finished work up in their homes.
And that’s what I want to encourage in you: do something creative with a finish line. That finish line is either prescribed to you or is obvious.
Someone who picks up the hobby of drawing portraits can likely do a portrait in a few hours. That’s a good example of applied creativity in this situation (even if they’re doing it from imagination).
The Experience of Beauty
Your final card is the Knight of Pentacles, Reversed which is about sporadic efforts. This is why I don’t think this creative beauty is at all tied to a sense of ego. What you’re doing is an infrequent hobby with no expectations.
You’re simply meant to enjoy it.
Beauty doesn’t always come in the finished product. The experience of layering coloring on a painting is beautiful in itself. Go and watch an artist’s timelapse of a painting and you’ll see what I mean.
The process is part of beautifying your life here. Step-by-step will bring you into a meditative peace that can only manifest when you’re creating beauty.
It’s not a passive production, but an active beautification of the world. You’ll feel happier and more fulfilled if you get to enjoy the process more than what you create itself.
So really hone in on what you enjoy doing in the moment, even if it’s not your favorite creative form to look at.

Pile 3: Woodstove
The Power of Words
People often imagine beauty as something you see, and that’s definitely an option. But your spread is clear that words are what you’re being called to beautify your life with.
The Magician features a man interacting with the divine and bringing it into this world. But what he does in this world also interacts with the divine.
Similarly, an abstract or conceptual piece, like a poem or story, is a meditation on beauty. You need to be mindful though: this spread is about beautiful words, not just concepts.
I love The Hunger Games, but it’s not beautiful writing. It’s functional. Which makes sense for the narrating character, but a lot of commercial fiction is like this.
Instead, you need to look for classic literature, literary fiction, plays, and poetry. There is something called upmarket which is a cross between modern literature and commercial fiction too.
You’ll know you’ve encountered beautiful words when you notice the words are beautiful. It stops you and you contemplate them in a way functional writing does not deliver for you.
Don’t Disregard Fun Language
The Queen of Cups is about you having a personal emotional experience. Not all written works do this even when intended to do so.
But readers sometimes only read something because it’s fun, popular, or high-brow. When you pick up your book, I want you to write in it or take notes from it. What moves you? If it’s not moving you emotionally, it’s not the book for you to beautify your life with.
One poetry book I own and have reread many times is The Great Cat (affiliate). One line that stands out in Jubilate Agno by Christopher Smart is “for he is a mixture of gravity and waggery.”
Not all beautiful words need to be serious, and cat poems are notoriously silly. It’s why I like them. But there are serious lines too, even in the same poem, such as “For by stroking him I have found out electricity.” It really makes you stop and meditate on the power of your relationship with cats by simply petting them. It ignites your very being.
Beautiful words stand out to you in a good way. That’s what you’re looking for and finding a book you can annotate or write about because of their choice of specific words is when you know you’ve found it. You don’t have to do this for all books, but you should do it at least once in your life.
Fun language isn’t the same as functional language.
Let Yourself Say What You Truly Mean
The last card in your spread is the Queen of Swords. This indicates to me you have something to say, in writing, that will be inspired by your reading. It may be in the same genre, or it may simply inspire you.
One thing I learned in my literature program in college is that writers are in conversation with each other across time. By reading beautiful words, you’ll write them. It trains you to think and to respond.
Even if you have no intention of ever sharing your writing, you should write. You have thoughts that will be expressed and experienced more beautifully if you write them down. The living and the dead are in conversation with you. It’s time to respond by picking up your pen.
Writing is a spiritual collaboration.
