Spring Cleaning Tarot Reading

I do a daily pull every morning.  Sometimes I ask for a message, sometimes for advice.  Sometimes I ask about the energy of the day and guidance for tackling it head on.  A couple times a week, I like to do larger spreads.  One of my favorites is the three card balanced spread.  I decided to do the spring cleaning tarot spread inspired by Little Red Tarot.  She has some of the most amazing spreads and guidance.  Highly recommend checking her out.  Here's the image from her post that shows you the spread layout:

Cards 1 and 2 represent who you are at the time of reading.  3 and 4 show suggestions for dealing with "clutter."  5, 6, and 7 are referred to as redecoration - new directions that you can take.  And 8 is what you should just get rid of.

For my personal reading, I used the Wild Unknown Tarot deck (2nd edition) and the Sacred Soul-Searching Oracle deck.  I wasn't sure if these decks would get along well, but so far, so good.  Is it weird to personify them like that?  Getting along?  Let me try again: I wasn't sure if their energy would clash or complement each other.

1, 2 - Who I am right now

The Three of Cups tells me that I am someone who is surrounded by good, true friendship.  This is not something I used to value because of depression and isolation, but it's something I've been craving more as I've felt more like myself.  This is such a warm card, both in color and in spirit.  I'm so glad to see this card in my reading!
The Self Care card is so appropriate because this has been one of my focuses for months, but I'm finally getting a grip on it.  Whether it's a nap when I'm exhausted, a cup of tea on the porch at night, or a nightly yoga session followed by crystal healing, I am working on taking care of myself.

3, 4 - How I should tackle this clutter

Okay, so the Son of Swords typically represents a person, but intuition tells me that this means I should be driven and focused.  Seriously, look at his body language and facial expressions.  Nothing is going to get in his way.  The Wild Unknown guidebook also states that this is usually a person who has dark skin and hair.  This is pretty relative to me because I'm pretty fair, but I'm thinking it may have something to do with relying on my boyfriend, who is a pretty tan individual with dark hair and eyes.
And another card that I was super excited to see: Daily Practise.  Habits and rituals don't just form overnight and they don't work on their own.  I definitely need to keep this up and do things on a small, daily level.

5, 6, 7 - New ideas, redecoration

This is my favorite section of this spread because it's so positive and constructive.  I pulled the Nine of Cups, Wondering and Wandering, and Temperance.  The Nine of Cups tells me that my goals and wishes will be fulfilled and all I need to do is relax and enjoy this time.  I think this is definitely hinting towards manifestation since I've been a little curious about how that works.  Maybe now is the time to learn more about it and see what good may come from it.  This card could also be reminding me to enjoy what I have or what I am experiencing, as it's such a serene scene.
Wondering and Wandering was a very welcome card, as well!  I have been making small efforts to go outside more, even if it's just to drink a cup of coffee on my porch.  I've never been one to just go for a hike or spend an afternoon by the beach, but I have been slowly but surely reconnecting with nature.
Temperance is a card that I'm not very familiar with, but this is a great opportunity to learn more about it.  Quick reading tells me that this is a card that represents the need for balance, listening to intuition, and being led be spirit guides or signs.  I took a look at the symbolism of herons, too, and there's a lot!  From domesticity to being present to grace to partnership, it really does represent a need for balance in all areas.  The heron is a bird that is often found near water, so seeing this bird on a card that is typically in the element of Fire shows a balance between the elements and what they represent.

8 - What I need to get rid of

The Two of Pentacles represents the need for balance and change, but I don't see any reason why I would need to get rid of such inevitable parts of life.  The message I'm receiving from this card, at least right now, is to get rid of stress that usually accompanies changes.  This card actually reinforces what Temperance is telling me and reminds me that maintaining balance may be stressful, but it does not need to be.

There's my first spring cleaning spread!  I was very pleased with how positive and straightforward this reading was.  Like I said before, these decks get along really well and I'm so glad!  Using more than one deck in a reading feels so natural because it's kind of like consulting with more than one professional or chatting with several friends.
