The Mirror Tarot Spread: What Difficult People Teach Us

I recently had a pretty odd experience with someone, and it inspired me to create this tarot spread.

Whenever I go through a challenging moment with another person, I can’t help but reflect on it afterward. This time was especially frustrating because I felt completely out of control. I couldn’t express myself, stand up for myself, or even make my own decisions. Everything was decided for me, which left me feeling stuck.

So what was I supposed to do? Sit there and just feel frustrated? Well, check. I definitely did that. But after that, I started asking myself, now what?

That’s where this tarot spread comes in. It’s a way to explore why this situation hit such a nerve, what it was really trying to show me, and how I can move forward with more clarity.

If you’ve had a similar experience that left you feeling stuck or frustrated, I hope this spread helps you find some answers. Pull a few cards, sit with what comes up, and let yourself explore the deeper layers of what the situation might be mirroring back to you. Sometimes the hardest interactions end up being our biggest teachers.
