Liberate Yourself — Tarot Pick a Card

Hello, my soul friends! Today I have a psychic tarot reading on how to liberate yourself from something that’s causing you pain. All you must do to receive this message is pick one of the piles above using your intuition.

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

For this reading, I’ve chosen the Dark Mirror Oracle deck (this is an affiliate link that supports 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 for your personal liberation.

Pile 1: Crystal

Naked Before the Stars

I see your spread has a theme of not knowing or being uncomfortable with who you are. The first card, Naked Before the Stars, suggests that you either disagree with your destiny or you feel exposed by it.

If you disagree with your destiny, you may feel as if you can’t change it. While it does require more effort to do so, you can choose to use your free time to modify your destiny to fit what you would prefer instead. This is called co-creating with the universe.

That said, it’s generally recommended that you pivot from your destiny and make alterations according to your preferences rather than re-inventing it entirely.

If you feel exposed by your destiny, you may agree with your destiny itself but feel as if you can’t match the expectations the universe has for you. Know that you will meet at least some of these expectations in time and you need to understand that destiny reveals and builds up over a lifetime rather than just being a singular point or achievement.

Hiding Your True Self

One of the ways you protect yourself is by Hiding Your True Self. You feel oppressed or uncomfortable by your exposure to fate, so you try to hide your true self not just from other people, but from the universe too.

The way this works out is that your inner self is very different from your actions and goals. You want to hide your true you so you never even vocalize or write down what you really think or feel. Holding something back is how you hide – even from the universe.

One way you can heal from this tendency is to go beyond introspection, rumination, or meditation: you must manifest your thoughts and feelings into the world so you know, and accept, that the universe is observing them. It always is, but this will help you to truly believe it.

A journal is good here. Physical or digital, either one is fine, but keeping a journal for a few weeks should help you deprogram yourself from hiding who you really are.

You’re welcome to talk about your inner self to others, but your biggest obstacle right now is that you think you’re hiding your true self from the universe. So address that first.

Masquerade

This part will come later on, but the Masquerade card suggests you’re putting on an elaborate act.

But I don’t think this is just about fooling others. Rather, it’s about trying to convince yourself you are the mask you’re wearing.

There’s some logic in this. We eventually become what we do through repetition, but I think the mask you’re wearing isn’t one you’d actually be happy with.

That’s why manifesting your true thoughts and desires in a journal will help you to identify and start building the identity you want your life to revolve around. After you’ve done a few weeks of entries, go ahead and write a profile about yourself. It can be short or even a pseudo-Wikipedia like entry.

Your goal is to create a new “mask” to wear to your life party. One of your own design and one that reflects your inner self. It might even be fun for you to draw or design one.

Pile 2: Dragon

Alone in the World

There’s a sense of isolation in your spread that you wish to be liberated from. This isolation may be physical or emotional.

The first card, Alone in the World, features a woman sitting naked in a courtyard. Courtyards are traditionally social places, so we must interpret this to mean that when there is no one, you also have nothing.

You seem to feel lonely even in places where there are other people. This indicates a lack of meaningful connection to others that you desire deep down. To liberate yourself from this, you need to ask yourself not what it would take for someone to reach out to you, but what it would take for you to reach out to others.

An introvert probably isn’t going to go to bars every weekend to meet new people and an extrovert would likely scoff at an online community. Instead of defining your social relationships by artificial locations, ask yourself where you want to be and start introducing and chatting there.

Addicted

You appear to have a harmful habit. Because this is likely in relation to or contributing to your sense of loneliness, it may be a coping mechanism and not that you’re Addicted to drugs (though some of you may be).

What do you do when you feel lonely? Many youth these days will seek out social media to feel connected to others, but often have passive relationships with their feeds rather than a direct conversation even by chat.

There’s something you do to feel connected that actually distances you from others and that’s causing you to continue seeking it out to fulfill your need for connection.

Someone who has no romantic partner may use dating apps to hook up, but they struggle to form meaningful commitments. This person feels lonely because they’re addicted to the temporary connection of sex instead of true relationship intimacy.

Determine what your social addiction is and consider what would be a healthier expression of that.

Colorless Angel

You may be boring or at least come off as boring due to the Colorless Angel card. I think this is because you’re trying not to offend others and you put up a shallow front. You may attract people at first, but eventually, they’ll realize that’s not the real you and only see you as boring because of it.

This would be like the person who pretends to be interested in the same hobby as someone, but once they start talking, the other person realizes the conversation isn’t going anywhere real.

You don’t have to like the same things as everyone you meet. People are emotionally bonded to each other by more than having the same hobbies. You do have something in common with every person and sometimes their differences will be interesting because they’re different.

So instead of trying to mirror the other person, be interested. The saying that interesting people are interested is key here. Let people tell you their stories, and then you can tell them yours. The novelty of both your lives will be its own compelling discovery. There’s a reason people like memoirs and biographical films.

Pile 3: Mug

I Won’t Cry for You

Somebody hurt you in the past or is hurting you. The pain of what they did has oppressed you so much that you need freedom from it.

The first card, I Won’t Cry for You, is the universe saying you need to emotionally detach from this person. Compassion is good, and wanting the best for other people is also kind, but eventually, you have to let hurtful people hurt on their own.

There’s only so much you can do for someone at the expense of yourself. Perhaps this person will change and find new relationships. Maybe they will even come back and redeem themselves. But right now? You need to let them go – and not just physically from your life.

You need to also accept the fact you don’t have to feel for them any longer. It’s an emotional and mental tax on your health.

Anger and Chains

I think you have a co-dependent relationship with this person. Anger and Chains as a card addresses the fact you are fueled by your negative feelings to them, but can’t detach because you let yourself depend on them for your passion and motivation in life.

This can be a person you’re dealing with right now, but for some of you, this could also be a person from your past. I can’t tell you how many people I’ve met in their adulthood who are still fuming over the injustices they experienced as a child – sometimes even petty ones.

Their entire life revolves around their hatred and their decisions stem from that hatred.

This is a poison. Your personal relationships need to be founded on love, not hatred, because hatred burns too passionately for it to be healthy for you. It’s a fire that burns you alive.

The more you’re motivated by hatred, the more your life decisions will be bound and chained to that relationship. It’s not a recipe for happiness.

To fight this, choose one goal, even if it’s just a small one, compelled by love. You can get or think of a pet or someone you care about. Having a pet or child is often a huge motivator to improve your life because of your focus on love for them.

Parasite

Understand that this negative person is a Parasite. They actually feed on the negative feelings of others, so you probably aren’t the origin of this problem. You may have been manipulated or gaslighted into feeling so terrible because it made this person feel powerful.

Liberating yourself from a parasite requires distance and sometimes a cleanse. If you’ve already physically distanced yourself from them or want to know what to do once you’ve successfully done it, you need to cleanse your life of their influence.

One of the reasons people in breakups give things away is that it helps them cleanse their lives of reminders of this person. Your thoughts can weigh heavy. So try decluttering your life of their influence in objects, habits, and environments. Maybe you can come back to these one day, but for now, you need to cleanse yourself from them to break that connection.
