How You’re Exceptional: Tarot Pick a Card
If you were drawn to this tarot reading, then the universe wants you to know that you have a special quality. This means you stand out from other people.
Want to know what that is? 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 tarot reading.
After you select your cards, scroll down to your pile or choose below.
Today I’m using the Muse Tarot and the Wild Unknown Archetypes Oracle decks while the animals are from an Acekar Sticker Pack (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 let’s uncover the reason why you’re so exceptional.
Pile 1: Dog
You Exist for a Reason
When I saw your first card, The Thread, I thought of the red thread of destiny. This card has a meaning of personal narrative and greater significance in life, and I think the way that you’re exceptional is you have a unique and powerful purpose in this world.
You don’t exist accidentally. You were born to accomplish something, small or large, but very necessary. That’s not to say the other parts of your life aren’t important to you, but that you were entrusted with a destiny the universe is waiting for you to carry out.
The good news is that since this is tied to your personal narrative, it’s going to be something that you would want to embrace. Activate the thread of your past, present, and future by looking at your past, considering what you’re experiencing now, and your dreams for the future.
Something is connecting the sequence of your life that will reveal your exceptional destiny.
You’re the Protagonist
The next card in your spread is Death. It has multiple meanings here, one of which could be transformation, but I actually see this as a reminder of the ending of your story: you will die one day.
Don’t despair over that knowledge, but instead use it to give perspective on why your life matters. It has a beginning, middle, and ending. You will have an afterlife and perhaps future lives, but this life is a singular and exceptional experience that you should try to get the most out of.
Live your destiny, but also enjoy the wonders that this individual life brings you. After all, you’ll never be this exact person again.
Yes, you have a destiny, but that destiny isn’t separate from you – it is you, all of you. It was given to this version of you for a reason.
So don’t think you’re too insignificant or unimportant. That’s not true. You’re exceptional and have a destiny that needs to be manifested in this world and this life.
And yes, your current life is the clue that reveals what that is meant to be! What has been your story so far and where is that story going? Remember you’re the main character of your life!
Trust Your Heart
The final card in your spread is The Empress, Reversed. I think you’re trying to nurture a life you don’t even want. It has nothing to do with your destiny either. Instead, it seems as if you believe so little in yourself that you’re denying what you know you were meant to do in some way.
This usually happens because people don’t accept others as they are and what they’re capable of. They unintentionally (and sometimes purposefully!) poison the dreamers and the dreamers stop considering what their passions are.
It’s important to be pragmatic. I’m a Virgo so I love pragmatism. But pragmatism without passion is just slavery. Passion is where your individualism blooms and your destiny manifests. Always trust your passion. It’s more revealing of who you are than anything else.

Pile 2: Piggybank
Connection With Liminal Space
With your first card being The Bardo, it seems as if you have supernatural abilities. The Bardo is the place between this life and the next. It’s where the two worlds collide and supernatural things happen, like talking to the dead, astral projection, and other amazing things.
Know that you have a lot of options here. Investigate different spiritual abilities and use the one that resonates with you. That doesn’t mean you only have one ability, but specializing will allow you to match your personality with expertise.
Most who chose this pile will be most comfortable with the clairs, such as clairvoyance and clairempathy.
But some will choose not to make it a regular practice in their life and instead use it sparingly for great effect. For example, you may decide to connect with your past lives to work through karma, but not pursue past life regression as a habitual activity.
The reason why this makes you exceptional is that whether you choose to use it often or in rare instances, it will be a very potent energy. That means your innate supernatural abilities will amplify whatever it is you’re setting out to do.
Your Limitations Should Be Respected
The second card is the Five of Cups. However you choose to use your supernatural abilities, know that you’re going to have to leave some of your potential on the table.
I’ve heard it described like this: a really intelligent person may go to college. At first, they explore many different subjects in their general education classes. But then they specialize in a major, such as biology. If they decide to go to graduate school, they will narrow that biology focus to a particular field, such as sea mammals.
You’re going to have to get comfortable with the fact that your exceptional abilities are best when focused. While you can and should explore, you won’t reach the true height of your potential unless you target that potential in some way.
I don’t think you fully understand the sorrow this specialization will cause you, but it will also free you too. Imagine having to use your gifts all the time for everyone for everything they ask. How exhausting!
You will have to accept that you can master every spiritual gift you have – because you have so many!
Act With Discretion
Your third card is The Hanged Muse. I get the sense that getting in touch with The Bardo will allow you to receive an important message from the universe. This is likely related to your life purpose as there’s a heavy element of destiny associated with this card, but it could be about any area of your life that is important.
There’s a lot of knowledge in the place between life and death. Time doesn’t mean as much there and you’ll find a lot of things to work with. But you should be careful: not all supernatural gifts and entities are positive.
Use your moral discretion in everything you do. Make it serve a higher cause or be in alliance with what’s good and just.
You weren’t given the exceptional ability of supernatural gifts to abuse it. But too often, we see people do this with curses, psychic vampirism, and connecting with toxic entities. You’re better than that though!

Pile 3: Squirrel
The Looking Glass Speaks
The first card in your spread, The Mirror, is all about the self. You may not realize or even accept it yet, but you’re a magnetic personality. When other people truly get to know you, they’re captivated. This isn’t a matter of introversion or extroversion – there’s something truly compelling about you and what you’re meant to do in this life.
However, there’s a level of narcissism in this card that must be addressed. Deep down, you’re aware of this potential and it’s causing you to be a bit of a perfectionist. Perfect is the enemy of good. When you look at yourself hoping to see your ideal it becomes an uncanny valley.
So why is this what makes you exceptional? You’re far better at judging yourself than others. While this can go wrong and spiral into self-obsession and perfectionism, you’re going to learn how to channel it to do amazing things.
Most people are unable to critically evaluate themselves and when they do manage it the effect is limited. However, you have the untapped potential to use your personal mirror to truly understand who you are and what effect you’ll have on the world. Your ideal may be impossible to measure up to, but it’s a message from the universe about what to aim towards.
Choose to Be Unique
Your next card is the Knight of Materials, Reversed. This is a card of spontaneity and doing things in an unexpected way. What makes you uncomfortable when you imagine your ideal or fantasy self is actually the universe whispering to self-evaluate.
Being different is part of your exceptionalism. Some of the ways you’ll be unique are subtle while others will be grand. But this is why your ability to truly evaluate yourself is important.
Consider a person who looks at their ideal self and sees a fine artist. But they’re uncomfortable with the fact they need to sell their work to rich people to make a living. They then evaluate their ideal and understand that yes, they should be a fine artist, but they want to sell affordable prints to normal people instead.
That’s how you can use your personal mirror and spontaneity to your advantage. Listen to your intuition and figure out what triggers you. Because that’s a sign to become delightfully different.
Talk With Yourself
The last card in your spread is the Nine of Voices, Reversed card. You have the exceptional power to be at peace. With proper practice, you can reach a state of personal calm that transcends the stresses of life.
There are many ways to go about this, but mindfulness is a good, broad way to approach this. That’s because mindfulness helps you to tap into your inner self. Some people use mindfulness to wipe the slate clean, such as with meditation, while others use it to have a conversation, such as journaling.
I favor the second more than the first for you. That’s not because meditation isn’t useful, but that your particular exceptionality makes conversations with yourself more potent. Seek mindfulness activities that don’t take you outside of yourself, but let you powerfully dwell with your mind.
I think the more you’re connected with your sense of self, the greater your intrapersonal ability will be.
