Tips for Reading Tarot Cards
Tips for Reading Tarot Cards
- Choose a deck that speaks to you intuitively.
- Stay hydrated to keep your vibration high.
- Ask the spirit to clear the space before you begin.
- Ask the spirit to bring forth the most helpful and highest messages for everyone’s good involved.
- Ask spirit to help you decipher the card meanings. Ask for words to come clearly, and for the cards to make sense. Ask for clarification.
- If you get confused on what a card could mean, try looking at the other cards around it.
- Close your eyes. Think about what colors, symbols, and messages come to mind to you.
- Take note of the emotions that come up for you as you pull the cards.
- Notice any physical sensations in your body while reading the cards- it likely means something.
- Notice the image on each card, time of day, setting, symbols, and facial expressions.
- Always ground yourself at the end of the reading.
Tips for Reading Tarot cards for Yourself
- Take a second to ground yourself before your reading. This will help you trust your intuition.
- Let go of expectations and emotions as much as possible.
- Keep an open mind. Just because it doesn’t make sense right now, doesn’t mean it is wrong.
- Take your time when reading for yourself. Information may come slower to you than it would when reading for someone else.
- Pretend you’re reading for someone else. What would you tell them?
- Focus more on the traditional meaning of the cards when reading for yourself. What you think is intuition may just be expectation.
- Journal your reading to help you make sense of the cards and keep track of your readings.
