Tarot Spread By Request: My Life Is A Hot Garbage Fire

1, 2, 3: Whatโ€™s on fire?ย 

I know you think you donโ€™t need these three cards. But trust me, you need these three cards. They orient the whole spread to make sure youโ€™re on the same page as to whatโ€™s really gone up in flames in your life.

4: Is it really that bad?

Whatโ€™s the reality? Whatโ€™s the lesson here? All the time,ย โ€œbadโ€ things happen (or spontaneously combust) and itโ€™s actually for our own good. Hereโ€™s a peek at your silver-lining, though you may not be ready to embrace it yet. Also, if youโ€™re making a mountain out of a molehill - this is where youโ€™ll get a reality check.

5: Who/what piled up the garbage?

Maybe it was you? Maybe it wasnโ€™t. Maybe it was someone else, or a life circumstance, or a particular desire. Find out.

6: Who/what set it ablaze?

Piled up garbage is one thing. A burning pile of garbage is another. Garbage can be salvaged. Itโ€™s best to let flaming garbage burn itself out. So who/what decided that there was nothing redeemable here? What circumstances looked at this pile of garbage and gave a resounding: โ€œFuck it!โ€

7: How can I forgive them?

You can also frame this card as: How can I move on? Whether you set the blaze yourself, or it was someone else, or a circumstanceย or life event that did it for you, forgiveness will give you the strength to leave the ashes where they lie.ย 

Note: Look, if you try this spread thinking that nothing is really that messed up in your life (like I just did), youโ€™re going to probably get called out on something. Take it with a grain of salt. The severity of a garbage fire is truly relative to how you feel about it.

And, above all, remember that you canโ€™t get a phoenix unless you start with a pile of ashes.
