This Is Why You Keep Seeing The Same Tarot Card Everywhere (According To Experts)
Have you ever noticed that a tarot card seems to be ‘following’ you when you do readings?
Maybe there’s a card that you can’t stop pulling or one that stands out to you more than the rest. If you’re having trouble figuring out why this card keeps coming to you, there are a few reasons you might be pulling the same card again…and again…and again.
You haven’t learned its lesson
One clear reason for a tarot card to consistently reappear is if you’re ignoring it or misinterpreting it. Tarot cards appear to offer you advice; they allow you to make positive changes regarding your present situation. Sometimes they tell you you’re on the right path – other times there are things they want you to work on or change. The tricky part about all this is that there are many different interpretations for each card; you might think a card is warning you about your finances when really it wants you to pay attention to your relationship, or maybe you’re trying to ignore a card you think is a bad omen when really it’s just telling you to do some shadow work.
If you’ve been receiving a tarot card frequently, you should think up every possible meaning you can interpret from it in one session. Ask clarifying questions to see what it might mean; you can pull additional cards to try to understand what the original card is telling you. There may be multiple areas of your life where this card applies; if that’s the case, you may want to work on all of those areas and see if the card agrees with your work.
It’s closely connected to you
Receiving the same card over and over again isn’t usually a bad sign. It might just mean that you’re closely connected to the tarot card in some way.
Is the tarot card you’re pulling frequently actually your birth tarot card? Does it relate to your zodiac sign or your sun sign’s element? What about your ruling planet? Does it mean something to you symbolically or emotionally – for example, do you feel hopeful each time you see the Star card, or are you a spiritual person who adores the Moon?
These tarot cards can sometimes have personal meanings rather than exclusively what is on the card. Sometimes, people will find individual meanings within cards that appear frequently to them – especially if they are their birth card or significant to them in some other way. If this is the case, a tarot card may merely be reappearing to you to signify positivity, hopefulness, reassurance, faith, guidance, or just that you’re doing something right. You can consider these cards like guardian angels, appearing to you when you need them.
You fear it
This might sound strange, but if there are certain tarot cards that you’re afraid to receive, you might notice them more often. Your energy can affect the deck, and your inner fear of receiving a particular card might actually be saying that there’s something within yourself that you’re scared of working on. In that case, of course the tarot deck will want to present you with that card more and more often – it wants to guide you.
Some tarot cards that are sometimes negatively perceived by many can include cards like Death, the Devil, or the Ten of Swords. The more you resist a certain card, the more you may unintentionally attract it.
But there are many meanings to any tarot card. Death can represent positive changes and new beginnings. The Devil can represent self-care and indulgence. The Ten of Swords can be about accepting major life changes. A tarot card may not be reappearing to you to constantly signify something negative; if you believe this to be true, you may just be struggling with confirmation bias. Look for a different meaning when this card reappears to you. Is there emotional work you can be doing? Inner reflections you’ve been grappling with? Something in your life you genuinely want to change? Take these kinds of cards as signs that hard work creates the ultimate positive change. When you learn to understand and apply them rather than fear them, you probably won’t pull them as often.
