Your Future Self Revealed: Tarot Pick a Card
Wondering who you’ll be in the future? If you were directed to this tarot reading, then the universe has a message you need to hear from your future self.
All you have to do is look at the piles of cards above. Which animal stands out to you the most? That’s your pile and that’s your tarot reading!
After you select your cards, scroll down to your pile or choose below.
Here I’m using the True Heart Intuitive Tarot and the Sacred Self-care 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 it’s time to find out what your future self has to say.
Pile 1: Dog
Coping With Material Loss
Whenever I see the first card in your spread, Temperance, it makes me consider the relationship other cards have with each other. That’s because this is a card signifying balance. Since it’s upright I feel that you will have balance in the future that you either don’t have right now or are worried you’ll lose.
The next two cards, Queen of Cups and the Seven of Discs, Reversed, determine what kind of balance between two opposites you’ll experience. The first card is one of deep and personal emotions while the second is about an investment going wrong.
I believe that you’re either going through something difficult right now or you will in the future. That misfortune is likely to be related to earthly concerns, such as money, health, or your possessions.
I can’t say exactly what the misfortune will be, but since this is a minor arcana card it’s likely to be limited in its effect and one you’ll be able to overcome or move on from.
That said, it’s bound to be disappointing, yet the Queen of Cups card does indicate that you’ll have mastery over your inner emotions. This is a good sign because it means you’re above your life circumstances and will be in a position to grow from this setback or at the very least heal from it quicker than you could have expected.
Recalibrate Your Emotions
Your final two cards are about self-care. These are positive actions you can take right now to make it easier to integrate your future self into your life.
Because your future self reading indicates a positive outcome, you should consider the following actions as a way to strengthen yourself and provide a solid foundation to manifest that future.
Your first oracle card here is Watch a Movie. This may seem like a silly or irrelevant activity, but being able to passively relax is an excellent way to rebalance your energy.
You likely tend to experience powerful and overwhelming emotions. This makes it harder for you to cope with negative events in life. Consider watching a movie as a way to turn down that volume and process your feelings in the background.
Sometimes, a related movie would be a good way to do this. A person who loses a job might want to watch a movie where a character goes through the same thing. However, you may also benefit by watching movies just as escapist entertainment. Consider your needs at the time.
Take Control Where You Can
The second oracle card is Clean Your Space. As the Seven of Discs, Reversed does indicate some material loss, you may feel as if you don’t have control of your life.
Taking care of your nearby environment, such as a bedroom or home, can be an empowering experience. Many people who are depressed sometimes find themselves with “depression nests” which are homes that are disorganized and dirty.
One way to facilitate recovery is to empower the depressed individual to take control of their lives and cleaning their space gives them tangible proof of their ability to do this.
Whether or not you’re depressed, cleaning your space or being tidy in some aspect of your life will help you feel in control and regulate your emotions. It’s physical proof that you have a positive effect on the world, and I think that will help you to embody the Queen of Cups energy. You don’t have to become a clean freak.
I’m terrible at housework, but I keep an orderly planner and that one thing that I organize brings me a lot of joy. Find your thing and keep it tidy. You’ll be pleased by the positive emotional effects it’ll bring you.

A Halting of Progress
Your future self is going to be very aware that something isn’t right. That will help you to change your circumstances. But since you’re receiving this message from your future self, consider it a time capsule notification to help prevent that future in the first place!
The Four of Swords, Reversed card indicates your future self. This is about being awake to the world around you and dispelling the previous illusions you had. It’s possible that right now or in the near future you’re at risk of misunderstanding the truth of a situation.
This is going to make it difficult for you to manifest the life you want which is why your future self is trying to help you prevent it from happening in the first place.
The first tarot card in your spread, The Empress, Reversed, seems to suggest that something you really care about and are trying to nurture into being is at risk of not succeeding.
This may be a project you’re currently working on or one you hope to start soon, so be aware that you’re about to face some obstacles which won’t be easily overcome. You need to know or have more than you currently do to succeed.
The next tarot card, The Chariot, Reversed doesn’t signify failure so much as a halting of progress. That’s good news because it does suggest that you can restart again. The problem that you’re trying to prevent is getting stuck in the first place.
That means you need to research more on whatever projects you’re undertaking to figure out where a potential blindspot is. When you find it, then your future self seems pretty confident that you can avoid this obstacle altogether.
Look to the Sky
The two oracle cards in your spread are healing actions you can take right now to improve your quality of life. They deal with an approach you can take with your future to make life a more positive experience.
The first oracle card is Look to the Stars. This refers to astrology. I love tarot, but I and most tarot readers use this particular divination method to figure out what options we have in life. We’re less concerned with the things we can’t change.
Astrology is more static than that. You’re more likely to receive a divination that is more difficult to change (thus the saying of being born under a bad star). It’s not impossible, but it can be discouraging if not used properly.
However, your future self thinks you can study the more difficult aspects of your destiny and make it useful. You may find reviewing your natal chart especially helpful and there are free generators online such as Cafe Astrology.
Astrology takes time to learn, so if you want to use advanced methods but don’t have the time to study, you may want to seek a professional reading from an astrologer for any in-depth questions you have about your future.
Dive Into Your Depths
The next thing you can do is Flow Like Water. I see this as your flow state. With The Chariot, Reversed indicating a halting of progress, that’s because you aren’t in tune with the background movement of the universe. You’re resisting destiny.
Now I think you can co-create your destiny with the universe but that requires attracting similar energy to yourself. If you’re feeling negative, you’re probably not going to attract good things.
But to put this into an actionable context think of the idea of deep work. People do their best work when they forget about time itself because they’re working on something they love. A marine biologist may not be in a flow state when asked to draw fan art of the Kardashians, but would probably be thrilled to study a pod of whales. Guess which one they would do better.
The same idea holds true for you. Your interests and abilities are intimately tied to your destiny. You have natural talents that you should explore and utilize. But this will also be reflected in how you work.
If you don’t like to work in a quiet library, don’t. If you enjoy working in the middle of a busy café, do.
Find where you can do your deep work and your progress will no longer be halted.

Pile 3: Bird
Fight Yourself Less
Your future self has a message about your personal life experience. The first card in your spread, the Five of Wands, Reversed, indicates that you’re going to be in a more peaceful place in the future.
If you’re currently there, expect to seamlessly continue as you are, but if you feel there’s some distance between your present and future self, know that a transformation is about to occur.
There is or was something in your life that caused a lot of conflicts and made you less motivated to live your life with courage. But now you’re starting to understand how that caused problems and are healing.
But this is going to require you to be less confrontational. Often passion requires confrontation. You need to be brazen and take risks. However, not every passion calls for that. A teacher who is confrontational with all their students is bound to feel like a drill sergeant instead of a caring mentor.
When it comes to one of your passions you need to be more grounded. The next tarot card in your spread, Princess of Discs, means that curiosity is going to be important for you going forward. Your passion shouldn’t be motivated by ambition, but by the sincere and innocent desire to discover more about it.
This is a friendly energy that invites experiences into life instead of bullying them into existence. Yet this is mediated by a more mature Page of Discs energy. This is testing your curiosity by refining your skills.
Because these cards are discs, it’s highly likely what’s being referred to here has to do with something like career, health, or possessions. For some of you, it refers to children or a legacy you hope to leave behind.
This energy is slow and deliberate, so part of you being less confrontational is pursuing your passions at a gentle pace so you can truly enjoy the experience. It’s not just about leveling up in life as quickly as possible.
Make The Energy Around You Positive
The final two cards in your spread discuss some self-care activities you can do to maintain or transition into a less confrontational energy.
The first of these cards is Clear Your Energy Field. I think you’re at risk of getting overwhelmed easily. While physically decluttering your space and taking on fewer tasks would certainly help, there’s a spiritual ritual that your future self would like you to do here.
Clearing your energy field can be accomplished with something like sage, protective spells, or affirmations. Anything which has a protective or cleansing energy in a spiritual sense would help you.
But why? I think that the confrontational energy that you’re embodying leaves negative psychic energy in its wake. Think of how you feel when an angry person is in the room. It doesn’t feel great, does it? Spiritually cleansing a space makes the energy around you positive – even if you were the cause of the negativity in the first place!
You Are Valuable
The final card in your spread is Nourish Your Temple. This has a spiritual effect, though the process is very physical and at times indulgent.
Have you noticed how people seem disconnected from their bodies these days? Instead, their eyes are glued to screens and other addictions. Because of this, their bodies are getting sick.
You need to treat your body like it’s valuable. Perhaps the confrontational energy around you is causing you to find other coping mechanisms, such as not exercising, eating poorly, or not treating your stress.
However, don’t discount forgetting your body once these areas are taken care of. Some people do have healthy practices, but see their bodies as ugly or not worth cherishing so they wear clothes they hate and never look in the mirror. Don’t let that be you.
Love your body. It’s not about pretending your body is perfect – it’s about loving the body you’re in and indulging it with the proper care and luxuries it deserves.
