Feeling Stuck? Here’s How Tarot Can Help You Move Forward

I’m your stereotypical Pisces–indecision for eons! Give me a simple choice between two options and I’ll weigh them for an eternity; give me just one option and you’ll find me tapping my own foot, muttering, "I’m still thinking about it!”

As you can imagine, if I have this much delay in the little decisions–like what to have for dinner tonight or what to wear tomorrow–then the big decisions can lead to full stops.

If you’ve been feeling stuck, you’re not alone! Having to make decisions can be tricky, scary, or even soul-crushing. The bigger the decision, the harder it can be to move forward. We all need a little help to get us back on track. Tarot is one tool we can use to help us get unstuck.

When I need to get unstuck, I often turn to my Tarot decks. Even a short reading helps me to explore those nagging options. It gives me the space and time I need to clear my mind, the clarity I need for weighing those options fairly, and the insights I need to work out which is the best path forward for me.

Why It’s Okay to Sit in the Unknown

Part of what gets us stuck in the first place is our fear of the unknown. The future is scary. We already know–or can find out–what happened in the past. We can look around us to see what’s happening in the present. But no matter how many possibilities we dream up, we can’t know what the future will be like. The future is unknowable.

It’s okay to sit in these feelings. Our feelings always serve a purpose, and that’s a good thing. What we do with those feelings, though, is where problems can happen. In the case of fear of the unknown, those problems can include getting stuck. We can get stuck with a negative thought about ourselves, other people, or the world around us.

It’s only by sitting with these feelings that we can gain clarity about what purpose they're serving. That clarity—understanding the root of the fear—is what ultimately shows us what's holding us back and how we can gently address it.
