What truly makes you happy?
A tarot reading
A couple of days ago I was scrolling on Instagram, as one does, and came across a tarot spread from Notsomysticaltarot on the topic of fulfillment.
You’ll find the link to the spread used below.
The questions on the spread really got me thinking about happiness and what truly makes one happy. While this can change from person to person, I decided to do the tarot spread and see what the cards want to say about me.
I picked a deck in my collection that makes me particularly happy every time I use it. It always knows how to bring a smile to my face. That is Caticorn Tarot by Pamela Chen and illustrated by Delphine Dion. It’s published by US Games.

For the first question, what makes me truly happy, I pulled the 8 of pentacles. First off, I find it funny that I pulled the 8 of pentacles because it’s one of my favourite cards. The 8 of pentacles, traditionally, means hard work, mastering new skills or old skills, and learning. Learning a skill does make me happy. I’m a Sagittarius sun, new adventures and doing new things is our bread and butter. I’m more of the type of person that likes to keep busy doing something as long as I love what I’m doing. Boredom is the bane of my existence, so the things I do I need to enjoy or I just stop doing them or get bored with them. That’s why the 8 of pentacles reminds me that everything I work on should be something I love, something that makes me happy because if I don’t it’s not worth it, not worth my time.
For the second question, what do I do without, I pulled the King of cups reversed. The card tells me that I can do without keeping my emotions within. Holding things back doesn’t help me in anyway. It also doesn’t help if one is trying to be happy. You just end up exploding from bottling up all those emotions. It’s best to work through them, allow them to have an escape.
Overall, I feel like I’m being told to do things I enjoy but when I don’t, be true to myself and don’t hold those emotions in. Just be honest.
I don’t know if this is the end all of what would make me happy. But life is too short to dwell on things that make me unhappy.
