Manifest your Desired Life Tarot Spread:
Get out your Tarot deck and draw 5 cards.
These will represent the path you take for manifesting your desired life and the guides who will help you get there.
Flip over your cards and place them in a row.
Choose one of the cards as your light card.
The light card should be the most positive one you have drawn. It is simply a card that makes you feel inspired to move forward, full of love or grateful for something in your life now. Take a minute to steep yourself in the emotions of this card in relation to your dreams and desires. Allow yourself to be swept away by joy and gratitude.
I am using the Cosmic Slumber Tarot, I chose the Star and Ten of Swords as my light and shadow cards.
Choose one of the cards as your shadow card.
This is a card that represents the darkness that holds you back from moving towards your desired life. It should remind you of the “I can’ts.” Those nagging thoughts that say its too hard, or I don’t deserve this, or I don’t know how. Now take a minute to imagine yourself gathering those limiting beliefs up and blowing them away in the wind. 💨
Now the remaining 3 Tarot cards are your guiding forces. Think of them as spirit guides, who have a message to tell you in relation to achieving your desired life. They may bring hope, ideas or inspiration to your reading. For example:
If you draw The Star you may feel inspired.
This card shines with hope and inspiration. It encourages you to keep faith in your dreams and trust that the universe is aligning in your favor. The Star reminds you that healing and renewal are on the horizon—believe in your inner light and let it guide you forward.
If you draw The Emperor you may be feel strong and empowered.
Prepare to embrace a strong sense of authority and control in your life. This powerful figure symbolizes stability, structure, and leadership, encouraging you to take charge with confidence and wisdom.
If you draw The Chariot you may feel a strong desire to take action towards your dreams.
Powerful and determined, The Chariot urges you to take control of your path. Success comes through focus, discipline, and confident action. Harness your will, overcome obstacles, and charge ahead knowing that your desire for achievement fuels your journey.
If you draw The Empress you may feel the nurturing force of abundance surrounding you
Fertility, creativity, and abundance flow from The Empress. She advises nurturing your ideas and relationships, tending to yourself with kindness and care. Growth is inevitable when you create space for your dreams to blossom—embrace your creative energy and watch your ideal life unfold.
These are my guides along the way. The Empress, The High Priestess and The Hierophant.
The Empress reminds me there is abundance all around. The High Priestess whispers “follow your intuition to find the way”
The Hierophant suggests that I seek out teachers or guides to learn from, or follow the path that others have taken.
Your spirited guides may tell a story of hope, action, or nurturing. Follow their wisdom and step boldly towards the life you desire.
This takes us to the Most Important Part: Taking Inspired Action!
If you find yourself feeling inspired by any part of this exercise, the most important thing to do is Take Action Now.
Taking inspired action is the thing that will propel you forward and line up your actions with the Universe.
If an idea strikes you, follow it. If you suddenly feel an urge to work on a project, go for it. Do it now while the motivation is strong. Let yourself be carried along by passion and inspiration.
Tip: If you have an idea of what you want to do, but don’t know how, just model the success of others.
Choose someone who has already achieved what you want to do, and copy the actions they took. You don’t have to make everything up yourself, someone else has has already done it, so learn by their example to create your own successful path.
Employ the Law of Attraction
The more time you spend focusing on your goal, the more you align your thoughts and energy with the Universe’s frequency. Using the Law of Attraction isn’t just wishful thinking—it’s about consistently envisioning what you want as if it’s already yours. Picture your goal vividly in your mind’s eye, feel the emotions of accomplishing it, and maintain unwavering belief. The Universe loves clarity and commitment. So, keep your focus sharp, your mindset positive, and watch opportunities and synchronicities start to flow your way like magic.
