Ep:15 The Devil: You’re Not Stuck, You’re Avoiding What Matters

The Devil is one of the most misunderstood cards in tarot. Many people see it as a card of negativity, temptation, or being trapped. But when I pulled this card for myself, I realised its message was much simpler—and much more uncomfortable. For the past few days, I had been avoiding the work that needed to be done and spending my time on the things I enjoyed more. It was easy to blame distraction, motivation, or even "the Devil made me do it." But the truth was staring back at me from the card itself. The people in the Devil card are chained, yet the chains are loose. What if you're not as stuck as you think you are? In this episode, I explore the symbolism of the Devil card, including the chains, the downward-pointing torch, and the inverted pentagram, and how they can reveal the difference between being controlled and simply choosing what feels comfortable. ✨ The hidden message behind the loose chains ✨ What the Devil card says about procrastination and avoidance ✨ The meaning of the torch and inverted pentagram ✨ Love, career, and financial insights when the Devil appears ✨ A practical takeaway to help you reclaim your power Sometimes the biggest prison is the story we tell ourselves about why we can't move forward.

Ep14 Eight of Pentacles You’re Not Stuck, You’re Scattered

The Eight of Pentacles is often seen as a card of hard work, discipline, and mastery. But what happens when you’re working hard… and still feel pulled in too many directions?

We also explore how this card can show up in: * love and relationships * career and finances * personal growth and skill-building If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, distracted, or unsure where to place your energy right now, this episode may help you reconnect with what truly deserves your focus. ✨ One card. ✨ One honest conversation. ✨ One step toward clarity. #TarotPodcast #EightOfPentacles #TarotReading #SpiritualPodcast #SelfGrowth #MysticalMandala #TarotForGuidance #PersonalGrowth #MindsetShift #DivinationDiaries

EP13: Six of Swords – Moving Forward, Even Without Clarity

Today’s card is the Six of Swords — a card about transition, emotional exhaustion, responsibility, and slowly moving toward calmer waters. In this episode, I explore what this card really feels like in real life: the in-between phase where you’re no longer in chaos… but not fully at peace yet. We talk about: * rowing out of fear vs moving with intention * emotional distance in relationships * career and financial transitions * why your nervous system struggles to trust calm * and how the Six of Swords predicts movement, not instant answers This episode is less about memorising tarot meanings… and more about understanding how tarot actually shows up in everyday life. If you’ve been carrying a lot quietly lately, this card may resonate deeply. 🎧 The Divination Diaries with Ritika 🔮 Tarot, intuition, reflection, and real-life guidance through the cards.

EP12: Three of Swords — The Heartbreak No One Talks About

We often think of the Three of Swords as heartbreak in love — breakups, betrayal, separation. But what if the pain isn’t about a person? In this episode, I talk about a different kind of heartbreak — the kind that comes from life not turning out the way you imagined. The quiet grief of expectations, lost time, and carrying emotions that were never fully released. This isn’t a typical tarot reading. It’s a reflection on what happens when a card stays on your mind… even when you didn’t pull it. And what it might be asking you to see differently. I also share how this card can show up in love, work, finances, and emotional health — not always as something new, but as something that’s ready to be understood in a new way. If the Three of Swords has been around you lately… this episode might help you understand why. 🎙️ The Divination Diaries — one card, one reflection, one step closer to clarity.

EP11: The World — Learning to Dance with Life

In this episode of The Divination Diaries, I sit with The World card — a card often associated with completion, fulfilment, and the end of a journey. But is it really an ending? As I reflect on the imagery of the card — the dancing figure, the eagle, the lion, the bull, and the human face surrounding the wreath — the message begins to feel much deeper than simple completion. This episode explores: • the symbolism behind The World card • the tension between rest and continuing forward • the cycles of life and personal growth • the connection between The Fool and The World • and the predictive meanings of this card in love, work, finances, and wellbeing Sometimes life asks us to pause and recognise how far we’ve already come… before quietly leading us into the next chapter. So maybe The World card is not telling us that the journey is over. Maybe it is simply reminding us that we are learning how to move with the rhythm of life. 🎙️ Follow The Divination Diaries for reflective tarot conversations — one card, one question, one moment of reflection at a time.
