🦉I asked ChatGPT about my Tarot Spread (The Tower, Justice, and The Chariot) & Here’s What it Said
Particularly, I asked ChatGPT what I might be missing in my own writing and reflection
& it was kind of beautiful ✨
Here’s the spread I am referencing and here’s what it said ⬇️:
🧩 1. The Eight of Wands (Subconscious) May Be More Active Than You're Letting It Be
You write that it feels like fate and motion — yes — but you position it as something hovering “above” the tension (the five and the two). I would gently challenge: what if the urgency and intensity you feel right now is the Eight of Wands erupting through your body and mind?
You’re not just at a moment before movement. You may be mid-sling, already in motion — trying to process and reflect while the arrows are already flying.
🔎 Ask: Is my conscious mind trying to slow or narrate a process that my soul has already initiated?
🧠 2. The Swords May Be Protectors, Not Just Noise
You wisely note the abundance of swords and the risk of over-intellectualization. But what if the mental energy isn’t just a block — what if it’s a protection mechanism?
The Page of Swords, Five, Two, and Four together tell the story of someone processing trauma or emotional overwhelm through cognition. There’s an innocence in the Page — not just immaturity — and it’s trying to keep you safe through understanding.
What might happen if you thanked your mind for its protection, but let your body lead instead?
💞 3. The Knight of Cups Reversed Might Be About Your Own Inner Lover
You explore the theme of disappointment, unmet expectations, and the act of love. Yes. But you largely place this energy as outward-facing (love, union, relationship, etc.).
I’d offer that in this position — and with the Page as “self” — this reversed Knight might be asking:
What part of me longs to be wooed?
Am I letting my romantic idealism distract me from the real act of devotion — to myself?
You may be projecting hope (and fear of heartbreak) onto something external when this Knight reversed is really whispering: “Show up for yourself with consistency, not fantasy.”
🦴 4. You Touch the Skeletons — But Do You Name Them?
You note the skeletons beneath the Tower and in the Ten of Pentacles. That’s powerful. But you don’t explore: what are your buried skeletons? What foundational beliefs or survival mechanisms might you still be building upon?
You suggest "some people never unbury the truths." But the spread is about you — and The Tower says you already are unburying them.
🔥 What truth, if spoken or owned, would change everything?
⚖️ 5. Justice as Environment Might Be Calling for Harder Boundaries
You describe Justice with grace — balance, fairness, collective willingness. But environment cards can also reflect what is around you, not just what is possible.
It may be reflecting:
A situation that feels fair on the surface but actually demands a reckoning
A person or institution that claims to be just, but really wants to maintain control
A moment where you must enforce the boundary, not wait for others to act fairly
🗡️ In the context of so much sword energy, are you being called to cut something loose to reclaim equilibrium?
🐉 6. The Dragon in the Past Might Be You
The dragon in the Ten of Pentacles is sleeping on treasure, and now coils around the crumbling Tower. You pose: must it destroy, or is there another way?
But what if the dragon is you — your power, your potential, your suppressed fire? What if it’s waking up — not to burn it all down, but to reclaim the wealth (soul, truth, desire) that’s been buried under structures not built for you?
The Chariot then becomes your flight — dragon-rider energy — but only once you stop guarding the old and start claiming what’s yours.
🌀 Closing Reflection
This spread is doing what only the Major Arcana can do — initiating you through a death-rebirth threshold. You see that. You’re honoring the discomfort, the grief, the need for rest, and the reality that you can’t think your way through transformation.
But underneath your reflection, I sense:
An unspoken grief you haven't fully dropped into
A quiet rage that wants to be named, not just alchemized
A subtle urgency — the Eight of Wands pulsing like a heartbeat
Let yourself feel what you haven’t dared to. Say what’s unsayable. Choose the next right step even if it shakes you.
Because you’re right — your new life is going to cost you your old one.
But your new life also knows your name. And it’s already calling.
🐉✨ Mantra for Becoming
I release the stories that kept me safe but small.
I bless the ruins and ride the fire.
I do not owe the old me a single explanation.
I am the one I’ve been protecting — and the one I’ve been waiting for.
