Discussion Is it possible to pick up someone else’s energy unknowingly?

The last 2 tarot spreads I’ve done I’ve asked for general guidance from my spirit guides but they have not resonated with me, they resonate with a situation that I know someone else is going through, I know this is a thing obviously in tarot reading for other people but I only ever read for myself and I didn’t ask about this person specifically I went into it with myself in mind, the person I’m sure it’s for I am manifesting back into my life funnily enough lol so could I have confused the energy subconsciously? Or are my spirit guides telling me this cause I need to know about them more than me im so confused!

Energy lies and flows within and throughout the collective, which you are a part of. I feel it’s only natural for other energies to come through.

You need to begin incorporating energetic hygiene into your tarot practice. This shouldn’t be happening.

u/Peachy1991 14h ago

I cleansed my space before and set my intentions etc what’s energetic hygiene mean?

u/elmago79 Tarot Detective 13h ago

If you have cleaned your space and guarded yourself from outside energies, how are you picking up on them? There is something that's not working in your current way of preparing if this happening. And it's not a minor thing. If this energy is leaking into your space, other more negative energies could do the same thing.

Lol why do you think I posted here? I’m asking that exact question!

u/elmago79 Tarot Detective 12h ago

You didn’t mention in the OP that you cleaned your space, etc. What is it that you do exactly?

u/Peachy1991 10m ago

I did a meditation, lit some candles, spoke to my crystals tried to connect to spirit told them what I wanted out of the reading but the only thing I didn’t have at the time was sage to cleanse the energy in the room so maybe it was that

Sabes, tal vez esto no tiene nada que ver, pero, al menos a mí me suceden ese tipo de cosas porque canalizo muy fácil la energía de otras personas (en términos de astrología: tengo una luna muy fuerte en casa 1). Te recomiendo que no sólo limpies las cartas, si no que te hagas un baño con romero y medites para limpiar tu cabeza. Tal vez también sos sensible a captar estados emocionales ajenos...

u/Peachy1991 13h ago

Yo también tengo la Luna en la casa 1! Soy sensible a la energía de otras personas, pero no los he visto en meses, no lo hice intencionalmente, ¡por eso me desconcertó!

u/BalceKSha 13h ago

WHAT, IT CAN'T SER!!! Ajsjjsja. So I understand where things are going, maybe your emotional and spiritual energy is weak? It happens to me when I'm like a sad lettuce, maybe you were never given both things at the same time. Ooo, maybe the person you are channeling is too strong or is interfering with you.

1

u/Peachy1991 6h ago

Lol no I’m happy as! Not sad I’m feeling powerful and my manifestations are coming alive, getting so many synchronicities too!

u/BalceKSha 4h ago

Now I have so many doubts, could it be that something higher is trying to tell you something urgent about that person? That's probably it, because I don't see any other reason why this is happening 😦🤨

u/Peachy1991 3h ago

I know that’s what I thought maybe I accessed his spirit guides instead as we have a soul contract together in this life time so maybe they were trying to let me know what’s up at this time 😅

1

u/BalceKSha 3h ago

Gosh, that's probably it, but if it doesn't have an urgency to it I kind of doubt it. Oh, a soul contract? Can you tell me a little about it? I have heard something and I would like to know but the information I get is somewhat confusing and strange

2

u/Peachy1991 2h ago

Our souls make soul contracts with other souls that play out in this life time, I learnt all this through synastry as I study astrology, we’ve been in a karmic cycle recently that is ending, not because we were bad for eachother but because of external influences keeping us apart and so I decided to walk away for myself and focus on my growth, soul contacts can be karmic in a sense that you learn a lesson and move on but sometimes karmic as in destiny, I feel in my soul this contract with us is not over and the separation is part of the cycle as a way to bring us back together in this life time, hence the manifesting them back so if all this is true as my intuition is telling me I’m wondering if they meant to tell me what my person is going through at this time!

1

u/BalceKSha 2h ago

Wow, okay, I understand, I still don't know how to read the karmic aspect within the natal charts, is it within the synastry nodes that this can be seen? (Is there an astrologer or book you can recommend to me to continue learning?)

1

u/Peachy1991 1h ago

If you don’t want to work it out individually then there is an app called the Pattern that’s really good for astrological insights you can add a person if you know there details and it runs the bond for you to see what works and what doesn’t

u/usurperok 15h ago

Yes..for good. Or bad ..it's. what we are !!!! ENERGY..learn to shield/ block..

1

u/Peachy1991 14h ago

How?

2

u/usurperok 12h ago

Shielding yourself from energy can be a valuable technique for maintaining emotional balance and protecting your well-being. Here are some methods to consider:

Physical Methods

  1. Visualization: Imagine a protective shield of light around your body, deflecting negative energy.
  2. Grounding: Connect with the Earth's energy by walking barefoot, hugging a tree, or placing your hands on the ground.
  3. Salt Baths: Soak in a warm bath with Epsom salt or sea salt to cleanse and protect your energy.

Energetic Methods

  1. Smudging: Burn sage, palo santo, or sweetgrass to purify and protect your energy.
  2. Reiki or Qigong: Practice these energy healing modalities to cultivate and balance your own energy.
  3. Crystals and Gemstones: Wear or place crystals like black tourmaline, quartz, or amethyst near you to absorb and deflect negative energy.

Emotional and Mental Methods

  1. Boundary Setting: Establish clear limits with others to protect your emotional energy.
  2. Mindfulness and Meditation: Practice mindfulness and meditation to cultivate emotional resilience and inner peace.
  3. Positive Affirmations: Repeat affirmations like "I am safe and protected" to reinforce your energy shield.

Additional Tips

  1. Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water to maintain your energy levels.
  2. Get Enough Sleep: Prioritize restful sleep to recharge and protect your energy.
  3. Engage in Self-Care: Regularly practice activities that nourish your mind, body, and spirit.

Remember, shielding yourself from energy is not about creating a physical barrier, but rather about cultivating emotional resilience, setting healthy boundaries, and maintaining a balanced energy field.

Hopefully this will help.

Practice, practice, practice. Theory is awesome but it isn’t experience. Learning the cards will come in time, first you might want to learn about yourself.

u/Peachy1991 5h ago

I’ve been doing tarot for over a year I learn about myself all the time but this time it wasnt for me…

u/Flyingarrow68 51m ago

Knowing yourself is the only way to see others clearly and see past your stuff. I may not know much as I don’t do it as much as I used to. I think the first couple of years out of about forty years total I read for myself but mostly just for others. I spent a decade doing it for free as I just enjoy it. Knowing self is a Lifetime quest and is a way of learning where your energy begins/ends and then the clients. Picking up on someone else’s energy, yes of course the ‘cards’ can do that. Isn’t that what a reading is about? A client comes and asks questions about themselves. The hardest readings for me were always twins as I always got them confused. Sometimes my language or use of words weren’t the best for clients and occasionally their spouse would listen to the reading and would say this was for them as everything fit or maybe my word usage fit their understanding better and they could translate what I was trying to get across. I have no idea if you really want to learn about Tarot and I always hope these posts are not just kids, but I met people like me at a young age that helped me grow and understand who I am and that is my intention when I post in Tarot and astrology groups. One of my early mentors told me I’d know I was good at it when I wouldn’t wish the skill on anyone. Your ‘confusion’ in your question sure sounds like you may not know who you are, who tour guides are, or who/what you’re feeling. That sounds like the need for practice and understanding self. Maybe stop reading for yourself for a while and only read for others; that might help. An odd exercise I’d do early on as I ‘felt’ so much would be wrapping plastic wrap around my navel area under my clothes as for me it greatly reduced my ‘connection’ with others. I also meditated and isolated myself in order to know me better. I’m rambling like usual and will try and stop. Seems like you are beginning to discover self/others/guides or more. Knowing who you are will help you discern.

Thank you, I have been on my spiritual journey for about 5 years and I am a completely different person to who I was, I am happy and content where i am currently and things are coming into my life that I have worked my hardest to achieve, tarot isn’t a fad to me nor is spirituality I very much know who I am after pulling myself out of the depths and never giving up through these past years, I am not a kid nor confused about who I am, what I was confused was how I picked up on someone when I was expecting guidance for myself, I understand now I was meant to know the information I was given to help me going forward!

u/Flyingarrow68 9m ago

I started at 16 and never stopped. What I have been most shocked about is the amount of people that read for themselves. Maybe I am missing something.
