So the other day, Jodi Chapman’s blog turned two. She shared a video in which she asked three questions. So I turned those questions into a Tarot spread.
The Jodi Chapman Asks Spread
1. What does your soul want you to know?
This terrific Three of Cups tells me that my soul wants me to know that it is okay to trust and to love. It is more than okay. It is satisfying and fulfilling to have deeper, more meaningful relationships with others.
There’s a fear somewhere in the back of my heart still that I’m not enough. It’s one I fight every day. Do you? Some of the tricks I use are to face that fear squarely. I tell it out loud that I’m more than okay and that I’m more than good enough. I work on myself to stay positive.
It occurs to me that I don’t do that always. There’s a group of friends who like to trash talk one another–and I’m in the thick of it when it gets going. I have to decide if that is okay or if it is not working for me.
I love that the three characters here each have a different tool in front of them. Not your average three gals, are they?
2. What makes your soul sing?
Oh the Six of Swords and the fabulous flying machine! They are off on an adventure, aren’t they? I love this card of high-flying thoughts and focused forward movement.
It does make my soul sing when I look at my goals. When I review what dreams I’m working on bringing into fruition. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again! The Create Your Incredible Year Workbook+Planner has galvanized my life, y’all.
I can see where I’m going and have steps on how to get there. Want to join me? You can. It’s never too late to start building, creating, .
3. What dream are you ready to leap into?
Now here’s an interesting response. Another Cup card (emotions rule the Cups) but one of the more morose ones, generally speaking. Yet I see this as truly one of my dreams.
Why?
Do you see his position? He’s relaxed. He’s settled back. True, his expression might be that of a pouty baby, but his feet are up. For me, I’ll forgo his facial whine and focus on his posture.
Those two books on the desk are very important as is the scroll to his far right. The books are the two I have in progress–both are non-fiction Tarot books. The scroll represents four letters I must write if I am to take the first step of one of my other Scary Big Dreams.
And see the fourth cup? Up on the shelf behind him? That one is so beautiful compared to the plain ones on the desk. I am ready to grab that cup and fill it up with even more joy. That’s the dream I’m ready to leap into.
To show you how to seek your own joy using Tarot as a tool.
Do you want to have a conversation with me about how to seek your joy? About how to find your bliss? Are you ready to get honest with yourself and do the work?
I’m here when you need me. Contact me and let’s set up a time to spread the cards to see where you need to correct your own course.

Now tell me what your dream are you ready to leap into?

Arwen, I admire your gifts and talents of being able to read tarot cards so well. Great messages. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks so much, Suzanne. I’ve been enjoying your series on the painting class you are taking.
Those are three questions that I might have to write a short story about. I can feel it in the back of me waiting for the characters and their problem to come up. It’s going to be gritty. There are some shadows and some trees. My novels are mad at me, but short stories usually push there way out first. Thank you for the post and showing your process.
Sheila, I would love to read that. 😀 I can’t do justice to short stories as a writer. I”m just too wordy. 😀
I love your blog – personally I don’t resonate so much with the Tarot but I do love your insights and positivity xx
Sarah, I’m so glad that you stopped by. Can’t wait to see what you have to say on your blog today.
I love that you’re going for your Scary Big Dreams! I’ve lost my way a little right now, but hope to get it back when I have time to settle again. Haven’t been on Facebook all week, but I think I need to drop by the Seeekrit Group again 😀
Chloe, hopefully your holiday has given you some perspective. 😀 Can’t wait to see you in the seeeekrit group again.
Those cards are lovely! I really enjoyed your insights and those questions are great!
I love that you took Jodi’s questions and turned them into a reading Arwen! Great idea. xx
My favorite part of your post was about the flying. I spent the day at a wonderful conference where the theme was It’s Our Time to Fly!
OK, here’s how I see, my lovely Arwen… the guy simply does NOT want to leap into a dream right now. That big beautiful dream is up on the shelf but all he can see is the three mundane dreams in front of him which just don’t excite him as much. He needs a dose of Spring, perhaps? Maybe he should get outside and enjoy some sunshine. I think that dream up on the shelf is key. He should turn around and investigate.
