I Pulled A Tarot Card Every Day For 30 Days

I never thought I would consult the cards on the daily, but apparently I can. I pulled a card every day for 30 days and what happened was incredible. Not only did I reconnect to myself in a way I haven’t felt before, but it also opened me up to new avenues of exploration and reaffirmed my life’s purpose. If you’re wondering how to read a tarot card every day and what that even looks like, then I can’t wait to break it down for you.

With a day job, I didn’t think that I had the time for tarot every day.  But in May 2020 all of us had a bit more time to ourselves and time to slow down. I used the time to do Sacred Jane’s May 2020 Challenge.

So Haley Jane is a Vancouver Tarot Card Reader,  I've gotten my cards read by her once before in person. I’ve been following her on Instagram and I like that the work she does and feel inspired by watching her evolution and growth.

She did a Tarot Challenge post and shared that this was the first time ever she would do a tarot challenge. When I saw it, I thought, “Oh my goodness, it’s perfect.”

I knew right away that it would give me some structure and accountability that I was looking for and would be a safe container for me to dive deep.

So even though tarot challenges have been around for a while, this is the first one that I've ever been called to. I followed my inspiration. I joined up and then on the first of May I started a month-long journey.

Haley created questions and prompts for each of the 30 days. Some of the questions were really juicy and relatable for me. They connected with the work that I do so well it was almost like I had written them.

On the flip side, some of the questions were a bit out there for me. Questions about asking archangels like Raphael and Michael for guidance and what’s a message for you from the faery realm?

These were questions I’ve never even thought to ask because I don’t work with these spiritual disciplines.

However, it was really cool to try. Without expectation, what came through for me with those questions was striking.

I’m going to show you all the posts from the month and you can see how some are definitely juicier than others and a few really clear themes from the month pop out. Whether you’re just starting out on your tarot journey or a long-time reader, I think everyone should try a tarot challenge out and see what they learn about themselves.

This 30-day journey left me full of confidence in myself. I feel like I’m more clear on my life’s purpose now and what the next steps are. It’s shown me some strengths and weaknesses I wasn’t aware of and I’m so proud of myself for not giving up and continuing to show up for myself every single day.

#sacredjanesmay2020challenge 💖 d a y o n e 💖 What is an energy I must let go of in order to become a clearer channel? 🔺k n i g h t o f w a n d s🔺 There's more than one way to get what you want. To become a clearer channel, I will have to let go of some tenancies I have to force things and soften into allowing. Let go of expectations. I'll also have to play with discipline - not forcing what's not coming naturally but also making sure I'm finishing what I start and I'm not doing it out of a competitive side.

#sacredjanesmay2020challenge 💜 d a y t w o 💜 What is an energy I can invite into my life to become a clearer channel? 🏆 a c e o f c u p s🏆 Being open emotionally will just unlock everything for me. Water is cleansing and aces are all about new beginnings/limitless potential so this is a super positive sign for me as I start a month long journey with my neo tarot deck. Right now, I am taking a bath once a week but I'll try to do twice a week now because spending more time in water could help me connect to my intuition more and become a clearer channel. This is asking me to invite in abundance, love, and potential for connection. If I put in the work to become a clearer channel it will nourish me.

#sacredjanesmay2020challenge 💜 d a y t h r e e 💜 How can I nurture my connection to myself? 🍇 t h e e m p r e s s 🍇 Yesterday I was asked to be more open to love and today I'm seeing what that looks like, mainly, self-love! The best way to nurture my connection to myself is through being more feminine. The empress is soft, people come to her she's not out there yelling advice at people who don't want to take it, they come to her to ask for help. It's one thing to say, "be more feminine!" "be more like the empress!" but practically, for me, that means that if I am going to connect to this "nurturing divine feminine energy" I need to start by embodying it. That means focusing on self-love, self-care, and most importantly of all self-acceptance. What's one thing I can do today to practice those? The Empress LOVES her body. She feels good in her own skin.

#sacredjanesmay2020challenge 💜 d a y f o u r 💜 How can I deepen the connection I have to my ancestors? 🌚 d e a t h 🌚 Being solitary more often, walking alone, being alone and finding clarity there will help me. I'm continually evolving and changing into a new version of myself so leaning into that ever-evolving aspect of myself, by leaning into the transformation, I'm letting go (death/mourning) of an old aspect of myself (the Knight of Wands from Day One!) that use to force, push, and try to run the show. Letting go of control and trusting that I'm being guided.

#sacredjanesmay2020challenge 💛 d a y f i v e 💛 A message of encouragement from my ancestors about my health journey. 🥁 t w o o f w a n d s 🥁 There's a push and pull right now from two opposing forces. "Should I keep going" "What's all this for" My ancestors are asking me to refocus on my passions, what lights me up and inspires me to move forward even if it's not easy. They want me to check in with myself, what's "enough" for me because the finish line keeps getting pushed further and further away. Focus on being happy NOW with what you have or it will never be enough. Then, if you decided that you're happy AND you want more, then it will be available to you. You can be energized by other people along the way going forward, too. Lastly, the advice is to have clear goals in mind rather than struggling for no reason.

#sacredjanesmay2020challenge 💜 d a y s i x 💜 What is something I can do to honour and show appreciation to my ancestors? ⚔️ t w o o f s w o r d s ⚔️ I need to stop myself from moving through life like I am just a walking brain. Bind myself and step back from being analytical and judgemental. Close my eyes and tune into my intuition. . There is so much 🌙 moon energy and imagery in this card, and it echos that call to intuition, an allowance of changeability. Like the moon, we have phases and we're always changing. To me, as a woman, no two days are the same. Sometimes I'm shining bright, like what the outside world would call "hustling and grinding" and sometimes I'm turned inward, what the outside world would call "depressed" or "lazy." . This card also repeats some of the alone/solitary aspects of previous cards I've pulled this week, encouraging me to continue to seek time alone. . Typically, this card would be there to help point out stuckness or a blockage, especially mental or in the mind. Here, the blockage is me 🧚 I'm standing in the way of my own intuitive power. Again, don't be forecful and try to "think" your way through everything, this card is saying to me. Be more like the Empress (BEING) and less like the Knight of Wands (DOING)

🌾 o u t s i d e 🌾 Even tho anyone who knows me knows I love to park it on the couch as often as possible😂 . Being outside makes me really really happy and I'm so appreciative that I can go for walks and smell fresh cut grass and be me outside. . .

#sacredjanesmay2020challenge 🧸 d a y s e v e n 🧸 How can I deepen my connection to my inner child? 🌙 h i g h p r i e s t e s s 🌙 . By treating my relationship to my inner child as a sacred spiritual practice. So far this week, it's like this deck is practically screaming at me to trust and rely on my intuition. Inner knowing....stillness....silence... She's also a meditative figure, so is there a way to make more room and space in my life for meditation and meditative practices? If I do more of that, I think I can become my own guide to my inner child work. The repeated messages this week could be telling me to do MORE. Take even another step back from the "real world" and spend even more time in solitude and reflection.

#sacredjanesmay2020challenge 🦄 d a y e i g h t 🦄 What does my inner child need from me right now? 💖 t h e l o v e r s 💖 . Partnership. Trust. Acceptance. Connection. She is a mirror and I see myself in her. If I bring her closer to me, I can learn to cherish her for the magical being that she is and we will expand each other.

#sacredjanesmay2020challenge 🍋 d a y n i n e 🍋 How can I be better at fulfilling my inner child's needs? ⚔️ s i x o f s w o r d s ⚔️ . This is a card that can come up when we're moving through difficulties. I always say that swords cut through the noise to the truth of the matter and this one really exposes how much healing is actually needed. . Regarding my own inner child work journey, I'm definitely in it right now, especially when it comes to things like comparison and worthiness. . In a meeting with my coach yesterday, I was chastising myself for getting upset over something "so small," "vain," "petty," and they reminded me that those feelings are valid no matter how "small" the ego thinks they are. . So meeting my inner child, hearing out her concerns/fears/and all of her big emotions I need to look at her with compassion rather than thinking "hmm, that's a very small thing not worth getting upset about." . Feelings are valid. They're often just signals letting you know there's a bigger story here to explore.

#sacredjanesmay2020challenge 🍯 d a y t e n 🍯 What's something I can do to bring myself closer to embodying my higher self? ⚖️ j u d g e m e n t ⚖️ . The channelled message that came through for me with this card was that the truth of who you are...you can hide it from others but not from yourself. . Time to stop playing small and living small and being afraid of my purpose. Awakening to life's purpose is discovering the truth of who you really are. . In this card, the truth is laid bare and it's time to account for your time on earth so far, how did you spend it? And, if you died now, would you have regrets? . My higher self is a purposeful being who stands in her power and does the work she's really here to do. To bring myself closer to her, to become more aligned to her I need to start working even more in my purpose.

#sacredjanesmay2020challenge 🌴 d a y 1 1 🌴 A message of wisdom from my higher self. 👟 e i g h t o f c u p s 👟 . Walk away. . Some people say you should finish what you started. This card says it's ok to walk away from something you were tied up in. Especially something you were so emotionally invested in that it felt like it was part of yourself. . It could even be that the situation is so painful that you will have no choice but to move on, on your way to start again, and the next time where you find yourself will be way more in alignment with your higher self. So much so that you'll be like "Why didn't I walk away sooner?"

#sacredjanesmay2020challenge 💌 d a y 1 2 💌 What's something that will encourage me to continue following my dreams and grow? 🎡 w h e e l o f f o r t u n e 🎡 . There is no final level to achieve because things are always moving and changing. . There will always be high points and low points. There is no state of permanent 'okayness' or bliss to work towards. . That means I can continue to grow and follow my dreams knowing that there's always flux and change. By finding peace, clarity, and acceptance in the present moment I'm set up for success. . Another interpretation of the wheel is that it's an invitation for us to examine our patterns and see what's no longer serving us. Where I have accepted and refused opportunities for growth lately? This could be a chance to break habits, release old patterns.

#sacredjanesmay2020challenge 🦋 d a y 1 3 🦋 How can I deepen my connection to the four archangels? 🌾 t h e h a n g e d w o m a n 🌾 . This card is a call to loosen my attachments to the things around me. . Surrender, non-action, and unattachment. Let go of previously held beliefs about myself, who I was and what I was capable of. Shed it all and hang, suspended in a space where I am nothing I have nothing and be alone with my thoughts. Shedding the old me and drying out. . Time to stop distracting myself with media and the modern world. . Breathe. Breathe deeply into your belly and fill with air in those tight places where you don't realize you're holding tension. . . I have not worked with the archangels or angel energy at all before! so I'm curious about where the next few days will take me as I open myself up to energies I haven't consciously experienced before.

#sacredjanesmay2020challenge ☁️ d a y 1 4 ☁️ A message from Raphael. 🌜 t h e m o o n 🌛 Don't be afraid to gaze into the pool. I'm always seeing others as my mirror and letting them show me things about myself, but what do I see when I look in the mirror? Do I love my reflection or am I still finding flaws? See what comes up from the depths to be seen and healed by spending more time in reflection. That's where the real "self-love" and "self-care" work is. 👼 I don't even know much about Raphael but I'm so grateful for this message that came through today. As soon as I realized what was happening, I did a reflection process (I have a neighbour who's been inconsiderate lately and wrote down all the bad things I'm thinking about them) and realized that I have some anxieties and fears around "being a real grown-up" after the process.

#sacredjanesmay2020challenge 🧭 d a y 1 5 🧭 A message from Gabriel. 🔥 t h e t o w e r 🔥 *trigger warning* this post references the global pandemic. . We are all of us experiencing the tower right now due to the sudden smash of the pause button and the upending of our lives. . As a collective, humanity is experiencing this tower energy where old things that were that way forever and so certain are in an instant gone, possibly forever or at least until we rebuild. . So what I'm hearing is: remember that we're in this time of dismantling. maybe you don't have to be "okay" or "fine" right now. . It's cool to not shine as bright or give your 100% since we're all still yet to unpack what's happened to us and hour our everyday lives have just evaporated in the blink of an eye. None of us are going to be the same people on the other side of this as the old word burns away to leave room for the new one to grow. And I won't be the same person I was at the start of this year ever again. Surrender yourself to the massive change, almost like a ship being torn apart by waves, and then I'll wash up on a shore soon. . . 👼 I am still just barely beginning knowing about angel guidance/archangel work but so far it's good! Raphael yesterday shared something way more powerful and helpful but this still is a good reminder that we're amidst the tower energy collectively still.

#sacredjanesmay2020challenge 🌊 d a y 1 6 🌊 A message from Michael. 🐟 k i n g o f c u p s 🐟 . I've been tapping into some big emotions and insecurities this week so it's not a surprise that this card has come up. . The king of cups is kind of stuck between two worlds of the masculine and feminine. He is the ultimate expression of understanding and being in control of our (feminine) emotional depths, but he's also a hypermasculine king or ruler figure. . He rules calmly, compassionately, and with an open heart. He has found balance between his role as a leader and an emotional being. As I'm continuing to feel those big emotions and process those unprocessed bits that are washing up, keep him in mind and his ability to weather the storm while ruling evenhandedly. . It's not that he is free from doubts or insecurities, not at all! But he's learned to honour both aspects of himself and I can too. . Tarot note: while court cards typically will represent other people and their influence in your life, since I read from a very straightforward personal growth perspective I'm always looking at them as an aspect of myself that I need to bring closer to myself to either integrate, understand, or embody more of right now.

#sacredjanesmay2020challenge 🌻 d a y 1 7 🌻 A message from Uriel. 🌞 t h e s u n 🌞 . The sun is medicine for us. It's playful, energetic, and alive. I need more of that zesty powerful energy and happiness in my life! . Seek out the sun and bask more often. Both literally, like take the time to grab a blanket and sit in the park with a book. But also figuratively, to spend more time doing the things that are fun for me. . Also, spend more time hanging out with people who are living in and embodying this energy. . My partner has a lot of this sun energy, he has a lot of get-up-and-go and we're inspiring each other to live a more active life together. Today, I let go of the reins a bit and he stepped up to plan an evening for us. . Even though I wrote my reflection on the sun card in the morning, that evening we went to the park to sit on a blanket and eat burgers, warming our backs on the evening sun and it was just what we needed.

🧚 d a y 1 8 🧚 How can I deepen my connection to the fae? 🦁 s t r e n g t h 🦁 Real strength isn't about overpowering, it's about working together. In this instance, it's about my higher and lower self working together towards the same goal. In the card, the lady isn't forcing the jaws of the lion. She's asked him to close them. She feels him, understands him, and has empathy for him. By letting go of the struggle and simply asking for connection and guidance...there's a lot of strength in that humility. The lady represents my higher self and the lion represents my lower self. It's about accepting and embracing any and all emotions, desires, and fears. Especially those feelings I'm repressing, those aspects fo myself that I'm neglecting, and those things that I'm most ashamed of. Get those two in alignment and I'll maybe show that I'm open to the connection. So far, this tarot challenge has been awesome. Fairies and Angels? It's introducing me to new ideas/concepts and magic that I haven't worked with before and it's a very cool process to go through. Curious to see what my final takeaways will be and if I'll be working with new ideas and energies in my work moving forward.

#sacredjanesmay2020challenge 🙌 d a y 1 9 🙌 How can the fae help me along my spiritual journey? ⚖️ t w o o f s w o r d s ⚖️ . They can help me by getting me out of my head and more into my intuitive and feeling body. . This card is connected to the moon in Libra. Not only am I a Libra but I'm libra sun/moon/rising. So this card is really connected to me! . Also the keen observer will note that this is the second time during this challenge that this card has come up and the first repetition so far this month. It needs to be heard. . They can help me to trust my inner knowing by clearing mental blocks. Those mental blocks feel real, feel like they're trapping me (fears, what-ifs, etc) but they're just in my head. . Plus, they'll help me to clear blockages I have with sensuality, fingers crossed!

#sacredjanesmay2020challenge 🍉 d a y 2 0 🍉 A message from the faery realm. 💧 t e m p e r a n c e 💧 . Healing, Renewal, emotional alchemy... One foot in the real world and one in the spiritual. . Find balance, just as water always flows down until it finds level ground, I'm looking for the balance between my two worlds. . Right now, I'm focused on my work, my health, and my inner work. Are these three priorities of mine balanced? How am I really spending the hours of my day? is it time to reframe my priorities, recommit or reestablish them? . The message is to use this to help me take care of myself and be responsible for the life I've created for me.

#sacredjanesmay2020challenge 🌵 d a y 2 1 🌵 How can I deepen my connection to the spirit realm? 👑 q u e e n o f w a n d s 👑 I had to wait a day to post this because I really needed time to sit with the message. Queen of Wands. Fierce, feminine, nurturing mother/queen energy. Very sensual, strong-willed, and bold. Uses her creativity to manifest. It's a message I've gotten in a few other ways this month, from the Strength card especially. I'm still learning to accept this aspect of myself and need to spend more time with it.

#sacredjanesmay2020challenge ♦️ d a y 2 2 ♦️ A message from a loved on who has passed. 🥊 s e v e n o f w a n d s 🥊 Being strong and secure enough to defend and stand up for yourself when needed, but be considerate if this is really worth the fight. . You only have so much bandwidth so make sure you're picking your battles (projects?) carefully. When it feels like "everyone is out to get you," or "everyone wants to see you fail," try to reframe your situation. . You don't have to pick up arms at every turn and be combative every day in life just to get by.

#sacredjanesmay2020challenge 🌺 d a y 2 3 🌺 How can I strengthen my relationship to my shadow? ⚡ e i g h t o f p e n t a c l e s⚡ Tarot is so funny. Sometimes, it takes me days of contemplation, deep work and research to uncover a card's meaning. Other times, it's so freeking easy and simple. This is one of those readings. How can I strengthen my relationship to my shadow? Do 👏the 👏work. It's that easy. Do the shadow work and you'll strengthen the relationship. Simple stuff, but....what does doing the work mean? So when a trigger comes up, when you're feeling a big emotion, and when you're experencing anxiety, you need to 🛑 s t o p 🛑 🐌 slow down. 🔍 ask questions, get curious about why you're feeling that way and what it could mean. The answer is never as simple as you think it is, there's always more beneath the surface to explain why you got triggered. Just even being aware of it on a base level without fully understanding is a huge shift and step in the right direction. Is anyone else into shadow work? What does it look like for you?

#sacredjanesmay2020challenge 🌜 d a y 2 4 🌜 A message from my shadow 🌝 t h e m o o n 🌝 Gaze into the reflective pool and don't be afraid of the most hidden and darkest parts of yourself. . This was the same tarot message from day 14 of the challenge, where we asked for a message from Raphael where we were encouraged to do more mirror work. . This popping up again means a few things. 1) we didn't do the mirror work (whoops) and 2) there's more to the moon card that we need to learn from. It also represents the wild feminine. We should spend more time connecting to that aspect of ourselves. Try loosening the reigns on trying to control the emotional experience and just feel it. . It's about coming to not only see and accept the wild feminine and all her rough edges, but also embracing it and stepping into its power.

#sacredjanesmay2020challenge 💜 d a y 2 5 💜 How can I help others with my connection to spirit? ⚖️ j u s t i c e ⚖️ Trust yourself, Balance, Remaining objective & Impartial, being accountable Some days I go for a run in the morning, and some days I eat half of a large panago pizza for dinner. I trust that the Sarah who goes for a run isn't "better" than the Sarah who eats hella pizza. They're both great, they're both a part of me, and I've found an intuitive balance that works. I think that I can best serve others with my connection to spirit by being a balanced and fair person. I can remain objective, impartial and come to the table with a lot of integrity, modelling that for my clients. I need to continue to ask myself the same questions I ask my clients because sometimes I assume my experience is the same as everyone else when I'm telling a story to illustrate a point. I should be more accountable for my role and the work that I do. Justice also typically has a sword, illustrating logic, the realm of the mind, and intellect. Maybe it's time to move on and cultivate another aspect of myself rather than focusing on logic alone. . . I felt inspired to use the mystic mondays deck rather than the neo tarot for some reason? 😂

#sacredjanesmay2020challenge 🌧️ d a y 2 6 🌧️ How can I deepen my connection to the elements? 💘 t h r e e o f s w o r d s 💘 It's been so long since I pulled this card, but it's time to revisit this aspect of myself. The version of myself who is in pain and heartache, and who feels stuck and unable to move forward. It's time to "acknowledge and own" my own story, as the Neo Tarot guide book says. Integrating all the darkest aspects of myself through my shadow work. The elements will be more open to a connection once I've done more of the deep healing work Swords = logic/mind/thinking/communication So I can listen to all the podcasts, read all the books, do all the courses and it won't be enough because there's no substitute for rolling up your sleeves and doing the real "work"

#sacredjanesmay2020challenge 🔥 d a y 2 7 🔥 A message from the spirit of Fire. 🎆 t e n o f s w o r d s 🎆 Being trapped in your own head, stuck, caught, not wild and free, no way forward, self-limiting beliefs. Those times when we lose the battle have no more moves left to play...that's where we find surrender. The loss, the end of something, is a door to something else. The message is to let go. Let go of the thoughts that trap me, pin me down, that do damage. Let's burn them away. 🔥 🔥 🔥

#sacredjanesmay2020challenge 💚 d a y 2 8 💚 A message from the spirit of Air. 💰 k i n g o f p e n t a c l e s 💰 You have this capacity to e a strong, stable, money maker in your endeavours. You can be on such solid ground that even others come to rely on you for support. . The king of pentacles is the ultimate expression in the tarot of fiscal responsibility, so I can't help but think this is telling me to get my ducks in a row more as tax season is here (send halp!) . The flip side of this card can be materialism, which has been something I'm working on a lot lately. The concept that you can admire your belongings and successes in a humble way. the second you compare yourself you doom yourself, you're enough just as you are and that's perfect.

#sacredjanesmay2020challenge 🌊 d a y 2 9🌊 A message from the spirit of Water. 🧡 t h e h i e r o p h a n t 🧡 So this is one of the most confuzing cards in the tarot deck for beginners. It's also known as "the pope" in some decks. Depicting a conduit for spirit leading followers, this card turned me off when I first saw it and I found it quite unrelatable. . Now that I've gotten it so many times and have learned more about it, it's always a welcome sign. . The Hierophant is a mentor figure. When this card comes up, we're either being pulled to seek mentorship and to stop being so solitary and level up with others. It can also mean we have to step into our own mentor persona and abilities. I have been thinking about taking classes, doing programs, and looking for coaching...but I need the right mentor. I need to be mindful of whom I seek counsel from. . I want a mentor who can support me to build something. Someone who's a perfect fit for me, who understands my spiritual nature and can guide me to success in the material world, holding space for both aspects of my being. . I need to forge my own path. Rather than learning the steps someone else used to get to where they are, I need to be supported on my own path to making something new.

#sacredjanesmay2020challenge 🔮 d a y 30 🔮 A message from the spirit of the Earth. 🌼 p a g e o f c u p s 🌼 After all the knowledge you have in the realm of emotions...now's the time to take the journey further. Though the page of cups is still a long way off from being a master, they're ready to bring the energy of their suit (cups = emotionz + feelz) out into the world to make s$%t happen! . They are a wellspring of possibilities and sitting on vast unrealized creative potential. The message is to embark on that journey and use your emotional + intuitive abilities and gifts for the greater good. . . . That's a wrap on this month-long challenge! Very proud of myself for pulling a card every single day this month. Stay tuned to the blog where I'll post what I learned and experienced in this 30-day journey inwards.
