What the Universe Wants You to Know: Tarot Pick a Card
Sometimes we need a gentle message from the universe, but we’re so used to looking at the signs and symbols that come our way as omens. While it’s helpful to prepare yourself for bad times, an encouraging message can be just as powerful.
If you’re ready for your own comforting news from the universe, you can do so with this tarot pick a card. It’s easy: all you have to do is select one of the piles above.
After you select your cards, scroll down to your pile or choose below.
Today I’m using the Golden Art Nouveau Tarot and the Work Your Light oracle decks (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. Let’s find out what message the universe has for you today!
Pile 1: Purple Planet
Your Initiation Is Here
I sense that you’re experiencing an important moment in your spirituality. Perhaps you’re amid a powerful awakening or you’re on the precipice of empowering yourself with a spiritual gift. That’s because your first card is The Initiation with the wisdom message of “Rite of passage. Crossing the threshold.”
Do you see how the world around the portal in the card is dark and scary? You may feel that times are difficult now or that you’ll need to face difficulty to get where you’re going. However, take comfort in the fact your path is more clear than you realize. When things are dark, what lights up the darkness is clearer to you than it ever was in the daylight.
And that path forward? It’s beautiful and worth it.
It’s Okay to Shake Things Up
Your next card is The World, Reversed. When I pulled this card, I was drawn to the woman’s calm and serene expression. Even though her world is upside down, it seems as if she put herself there in the first place.
I believe you need to change things in your life in a radical way to complete your initiation. The good news is that this shake-up isn’t dangerous or even unpleasant: something (or someone) is calling you to change your life for the better.
You may only need to do this temporarily, or perhaps it will be a permanent change. Regardless, look at your life and ask yourself what needs to be different from how it was before. Take some time to meditate on this: there’s a good chance you’ll be surprised by the answer you get from your intuition.
Act With Passion, Not Moderation
If you’re a serious person or someone who is very careful in how they act, now is the time to accept more passion in your daily life. Do you know how some people seem to throw caution to the wind and live every day as if it’s their last? You need a bit of that energy yourself.
For those of you who are already passionate romantics in their lives, take this as a sign that this energetic approach is called for even more than normal.
But let’s discuss why it’s so important that you accept some fire into your life. The third card, Temperance, Reversed, features an angel pouring one cup of water into the other. This card often has “moderate” connotations, but it can take a more spiritual meaning too.
Here, I believe your approach to life is livelier than before, allowing your cup to overflow and be a bit chaotic at times. But this will open new spiritual portals in your life that weren’t there in the past. Don’t you want to see the beauty on the other side? It’s meant for you.

Pile 2: Blue Planet
You’re On the Right Path
Have you been questioning whether you’re going the right way in life? Your card, Trust Your Path, confirms this. Do you see the desert landscape of the card colored with beautiful pastels? Yes, the environment is a little harsh, so there are probably some issues in your life that trouble you, but everything is going as it was divinely planned by the universe.
You still have quite a ways to go, however. Luckily, the wisdom message on this card has something important for you to hear: “If you knew you would be supported, what would you do?”
Look within and ask yourself what seems to be going right in life. Either recent moments or the overall trajectory. Once you identify that, you’ve found your path and you can see where in your life you’re being supported.
You need to know that because you need confirmation in your soul that the universe is protecting you.
Release Your Anxieties
The next card in your spread, the Nine of Swords, Reversed, features a person lying on a bed. They’re upset, likely from a nightmare or anxiety. But as a reversal, this anxiety is being released.
Once you identify where you’re being supported in life, you’ll know what worries you can release. It may not seem like a big deal at first, but something is weighing you down and you need this sign from the universe to let go.
These anxieties or fears are holding you back unnecessarily and spiritually hurting you. But it doesn’t have to be that way. You can feel much better than you do now with a change of mindset.
A good example of this is a person who’s studying to be a doctor. They’re worried about their upcoming exams, so it’s causing them anxiety. However, once they realize that they have a good study group and a good study plan, they’re able to understand they will pass their exams because they’re already putting in the time. They are, in essence, supported in their path.
The universe probably sent their study group to them with a chance meeting and helped them develop a study plan for success. Spiritual support can be anywhere you look.
Don’t Jump on the New
Your last card, the Page of Pentacles, Reversed, says it’s not time to start anything sudden and new. That’s not to say you can’t experiment or start new projects, but that you shouldn’t deviate away from your current commitments. Any “path” you take should be a scenic route. Your destination must remain the same – at least for now.
Trusting your path means trusting your destination. You can’t find a new map and decide on a new destination. Imagine that same med student from before: they become so worried about their exams that they drop out of school instead of trusting their path and forging on.
When we’re anxious, we tend to drop what we’re currently doing and look for something new. Sometimes this is the right answer, but for now: your path is the right one and you can feel good about it. You even have the right to.

Pile 3: Pink Planet
It’s Time for Self-care
With your first card being Star Mother with the wisdom message of “How can you Mother yourself?” it’s safe to say that the universe wants you to tend to your needs more than you are currently.
While the creator of this deck does not specify, it’s safe to interpret the woman on this card as Mary, the Mother of Jesus. She represents not only the maternal figure of a spiritual leader, but according to Christian theology, the mother of mankind in her purest form.
Understand that this self-care is about more than material needs. Mary cared for Jesus when he was young and helped raise him to become a great man – and she continued on in his ministry. Following her example in your own life means caring for yourself in such a way as to create a better human being with the greatest of potential.
Understand Your Intuition
I find your next card really interesting because The High Priestess, Reversed looks so much like the Star Mother card. Here you’re being called to retreat into your inner sanctum to better understand what moves your intuition and thus your soul.
This is important because of your previous card: the reason you need to mother yourself is that you have, within you, a great capacity to control your destiny. To continue the Christian metaphor, Jesus often spoke to turn away from the world, and I see that lesson as one born from his childhood as the son of Mary.
You’re being influenced so much by the world that you’re starting to let it mother you. But the reality is that you have so much purity within your soul that the person you should be looking to for guidance is yourself (and perhaps your spirit guides – especially one that represents the divine feminine).
What’s Unexpected Can Be Amazing
The last card in your spread is the Page of Cups, Reversed. This card features a young man holding a cup with a fish. I like to interpret this card as one of surprises, but a fish can also be a symbol of Christianity too.
Jesus called his followers to be “fishers of men” and I see this card in its reversal as being your own spiritual teacher. But doing that means retreating within and allowing yourself to be pleasantly surprised by meditation, prayer, or other spiritual acts.
The Star Mother is the cosmic, divine feminine. Within her womb was the leader of a radical spiritual revolution that took the world by storm. And that life path was not one she ever expected.
Understand that there’s some part of your future that is currently unknown to you, but will change everything about your life and the lives of those around you in a spiritually meaningful way. Now it’s time to begin looking for it through spiritual growth.
