Hello and welcome.
My name is Cari.
I am a tarot reader slash spiritual coach and I am here to provide you a general tarot reading for your inner teen.
Inner teen and inner child healing is a topic that is near and dear to my heart on a personal and professional level.
I believe tarot is one way that we can connect to our inner teen and promote positive growth and healing.
I'm going to begin this reading shortly but I want you to consider two things.
One,
If this reading ends up resonating for you,
Take what resonates,
Process it,
Be gentle with yourself.
Two,
If the reading ends up not resonating with you,
That's fine.
Readings tend to be timeless so it could resonate another time,
Days from now,
Months from now,
Even years from now.
It could even be a message that needs to be relayed to someone close to you.
Either way,
If it resonates or not,
Thank you for listening.
Let's get started.
I want you to get comfortable.
Really open up your mind,
Heart,
And soul.
I'm going to shuffle my deck so we can draw our first card to see what comes up in connecting to our inner teen.
I am using the classic Rutherwaite Smith tarot deck.
I'm going to describe the imagery on the card but you can search it up as well.
Let's begin.
Okay,
The card I have before me is the Six of Swords.
The Six of Swords and the classic Rutherwaite Smith tarot deck,
It depicts a man,
Presumably a woman,
And a child.
They're not faced towards you.
They're faced away from you.
They're on a boat and they're leaving behind a destination.
The Six of Swords is a card that really reminds you to leave situations that do not serve you and your highest good.
This is especially important for inner teen reading because when you're a teenager,
You don't have that much autonomy.
You have some,
Right?
We're still becoming adults.
We're you know,
At an age where we're discovering who we are and that's great but like we don't have full say in everything.
And often our teachers,
Our parents,
Our guardians,
They're the ones who have more influence on us.
And sometimes they're the ones who put us in situations where are not savory,
We don't enjoy them,
And we just had to stick it out.
This could be a very serious situation or sometimes it could even be just light-hearted.
Like for example,
Being put into a hobby that you wanted nothing to do with but your parents said,
Okay,
You're gonna do this.
That's the energy,
Right?
Like we have no real say when we're a teenager.
We have some say but no real say.
Then we become an adult and then as an adult,
There's an idea that we have more autonomy and we do.
But if you were conditioned as a teenager to just sit with whatever,
To just be a part of things,
Situations,
Relationships that didn't actually serve you or didn't actually bring you joy or didn't actually help you in any way but someone said,
No,
This is good for you.
Someone else said,
No,
You need this.
That conditioning stays with us.
We end up getting into relationships that this person doesn't make me happy but they're reliable or we end up taking a job that makes us miserable but it pays well.
It puts food on the table and these are realities as an adult.
But there is still the power of choice and the Six of Swords reminds us that.
So when we're healing our inner teen,
When we're mindful of the situations we put ourselves in as adults and really sit back and think,
Does this serve me?
Does this make me happy?
Does this cause me too much stress?
Does this make me money?
Does this not make me money?
Does this serve my soul?
Does this not serve my soul?
We really have to question what is for us and what isn't.
And when we question that,
We give autonomy back to our inner teen who didn't have that autonomy.
We give back choice.
We give back consideration.
We hear our needs.
We hear our wants and we're saying,
Okay,
Wait.
Someday someone said,
I need to do this but really I don't want to do this and if I honor myself,
I'm not gonna do this.
Sometimes it can be that simple and sometimes,
Yes,
There's layers of complexity but if we're doing the work,
We have to really honor ourselves and we do this by honoring our true wants and needs,
Honoring our autonomy,
And honoring the self that didn't really have much choice.
So really start to take inventory.
Look at relationships,
Jobs,
Hobbies.
Is it something you truly want or is it something that at some time,
Some point,
Someone conditioned you to think this is what you wanted when in reality,
It wasn't?
When you do this,
Connect with that inner teen.
Connect with that younger self who wanted more choice.
They have the answers for you.
You have the answers within yourself.
It's all connected.
I hope if this resonates that you start to leave situations that do not serve you in your highest good.
It may not be tomorrow.
It may not be next month but I hope that you find the path you truly want and desire versus what other people want and desire for you.
This is your life.
Own it and when you own it,
You heal a part of your younger self that really needed that autonomy and then choice.
That's all I have for now.
I want to thank you again for listening.
If it resonates,
Process it.
Take your time with it.
If it doesn't,
Then this is just something to consider.
Again,
Thank you.
Have a great day.
Take care.
