Crafting the Current: A Weekly Tarot Reading

  • May 26
  • 2 min read

Updated: 5 days ago

This week, we’re reading with Crafting the Current — our nickname for the Squid Cake Marseille by Jess Rollar (published by Rockpool). This is a deck that dances between sweetness and strangeness, making it one of our most Gemini-aligned guides. Dualities coexist here: playful and precise, whimsical and emotionally attuned. It doesn’t push — it flows.

Each card this week carries a current worth noticing. One will speak to your wound softening. One to the spark forming. One to the grief becoming ground.

✨ Pick a Card

Close your eyes.

Take a breath.

Pick the one that hums.

Card 1 | Card 2 | Card 3

Pink tarot reading graphic with the title ‘Crafting the Current: A Weekly Tarot Reading.’ Beneath it, three cards are laid out in a row and numbered 1 to 3. The prompt reads: ‘Pick a current. Pick a card. One speaks to the wound softening. One to the spark forming. One to the grief becoming ground.’ Soft star sparkles and rippling lines decorate the image.

Card One: Three of Swords (Reversed) – The Soft Repair

Tarot card titled ‘Three of Swords (Reversed)’ on a pale blue background. The card shows a pink sword wrapped in ribbon, surrounded by hearts and wings. Accompanying text reads: ‘You don’t have to be over it to be okay. The ache doesn’t need fixing — it wants witnessing. This week, let yourself be mid-repair. Trust the truth that healing is not always tidy.’ A sticker-style heart with a bandage appears in the top left, and the affirmation at the bottom says: ‘I am healing, even when it’s not linear.’

You don’t have to be over it to be okay.

The ache doesn’t need fixing — it wants witnessing.

This week, let yourself be mid-repair.

Trust the truth that healing is not always tidy.

Affirmation:

“I am healing, even when it’s not linear.”

Quote pairing:

“There is a crack in everything, that’s how the light gets in.”

— Leonard Cohen

Reflection prompt:

What part of you is still tender — not broken, not wrong, just not fully mended?

Write a letter to it. Don’t rush it. Let it speak back.

Card Two: The Magician – The Trick & The Truth

Tarot card titled ‘The Magician’ on a warm golden background. The card shows a whimsical figure in a pink outfit holding a wand, standing at a wooden table with scattered tools. The text reads: ‘Your weirdness is your wisdom. You don’t need to collect new tools — just believe in the ones already on your table. This week, creation is not about chasing more — it’s about shaping what’s already humming in your hands.’ A soft sparkle and wand illustration appear, and the affirmation says: ‘I create from what I carry.’

Your weirdness is your wisdom.

You don’t need to collect new tools — just believe in the ones already on your table.

This week, creation is not about chasing more — it’s about shaping what’s already humming in your hands.

Affirmation:

“I create from what I carry.”

Quote pairing:

“When I’m writing [music], I’m just channeling. It’s not like I’m doing it — it’s coming through me.”

— Prince

Reflection prompt:

Look around your life: What forgotten tools or talents are ready to be remixed into something new?

What idea have you delayed that might already be in your hands?

Card Three: Five of Cups – The Grief Gate

Tarot card titled ‘Five of Cups’ on a lavender background. The card shows five pink cups surrounded by floral patterns. The message reads: ‘Not all loss is failure. Some things ache because they mattered. You don’t need to rush to make meaning — it’s enough to feel the ache this week. Let the sorrow be sacred. Let it teach you how to hold yourself.’ A moon, cloud, and rose petals are illustrated around the text, with the affirmation: ‘I make space for sorrow without shame.’

Not all loss is failure.

Some things ache because they mattered.

You don’t need to rush to make meaning — it’s enough to feel the ache this week.

Let the sorrow be sacred. Let it teach you how to hold yourself.

Affirmation:

“I make space for sorrow without shame.”

Quote pairing:

“The world says: Make it bigger. I say: Make it mine.”

— Ada Limón

Reflection prompt:

What are you still grieving, even quietly?

What would it mean to honour that loss without needing to ‘solve’ it?

Let the Current Flow

Which card did you choose? Which one chose you?

Let it stir something. Write. Cry. Daydream.

Or just breathe with it quietly, knowing that not everything needs to be named right away.
