Reading tarot cards, whether for yourself or for others, is a life-long practise. You’re never going to know all there is to know and you will continue to learn and to grow the more you do. Which is actually what makes reading tarot cards so rewarding. So if you’ve just bought your first tarot deck or are thinking about buying one, we thought that you might appreciate a few tips and handy hints to get you started in the ancient art of reading tarot cards. You never know, it might all seem less daunting once you’ve had a browse through these:
1) Tip number 1 has to be that you will not come across anything negative when reading tarot cards. The concept of getting a glimpse into your future can be a little bit unnerving at first, but you will soon come to trust and appreciate the gentle wisdom that will be presented to you. While the messages can be quite direct and to the point, you will find that they are positive and beneficial at all times.
2) Take your time. If you’ve ever had a professional reading, you may have been amazed at how quickly they can interpret the cards. But these people are experienced at tuning into their psychic side and can identify the symbols and assign them meaning because they are very familiar with them. In time you will also learn to understand your own feelings and intuition. But you must give it time to develop. So…
3) Try meditating for 20 minutes before reading the tarot cards. This will get you into the right frame of mind, and will help to open up your psychic channels. You may even find that messages start to come through to you in advance of starting to read the tarot cards so look for similarities between what may have appeared to be idle or random thoughts and the cards that you turn.
4) Do not be tempted to ask the cards the same question again and again. Very hard when you are anxious to get an answer. However, reading tarot cards under this kind of stress and persistence will give you very mixed messages that will not help you. Be patient and try to leave a couple of days between questions.
5) Think about alternative meanings. If you’ve asked a question about love, but the cards don’t seem to be making much sense for this area of your life, think about whether, in actual fact, the cards are trying to talk to you about something else, for example, work matters.
6) Get yourself a good tarot book to help you understand the meanings of each of the cards. When you become experienced at reading the tarot cards, the symbolism will be so clear to you that you will wonder at why you ever found it so confusing. But the messages conveyed are deep and profound, covering all aspects of life. No need to suffer while you learn- get help!
7) Try different tarot spreads. The Celtic Cross is probably the most popular and famous and isn’t a bad place to start, but try others as you will find some questions will seem more comfortable to you with certain spreads. A quick 3 card spread is also perfect for the more simple questions, and can be a good place to start.
8) When you begin to feel more confident, you can extend your collection of cards. Many professionals like to have a range of different decks to suit their mood or the type of question that is being put to them. Choose a deck that you feel you have some kind of an understanding with - a set which draws you in. This will make the messages from your readings all the more potent.
That should be enough to get you started! Come back and check this list in a couple of months time to see how you’re progressing in reading tarot cards, and you’ll be amazed at how far you’ve come.
