Reading Tarot Cards

The Role of Intuition

While each Tarot card has traditional meanings, Tarot reading is also about intuition and personal interpretation. The way the cards interact and how they “feel” in a reading matters just as much as their textbook meanings.

Common Tarot Spreads

One-Card Pull – Quick daily insight or guidance.
Three-Card Spread – Past, Present, Future.
Celtic Cross Spread – A 10-card spread for deep insight.
Relationship Spread – Looks into love and partnerships.
Career Spread – Focuses on work, success, and financial matters.

The Symbolism in Tarot

Tarot is full of esoteric and archetypal symbols that hold deep meanings:

The Moon – Mystery, illusion, subconscious.
The Sun – Clarity, joy, enlightenment.
Skeleton (Death Card) – Transformation, endings leading to new beginnings.
Snake (The Magician) – Wisdom, rebirth, hidden knowledge.
Flowers & Leaves – Growth, renewal, natural cycles.

Using Tarot for Self-Growth

Personal Reflection

Journaling Tarot readings can help with self-awareness, decision-making, and spiritual growth.

Meditation & Visualization

Focusing on a Tarot card during meditation can bring clarity, insight, and healing.

Shadow Work

Tarot helps uncover hidden fears, desires, and patterns for deep personal transformation.

Common Misconceptions About Tarot

Tarot is not “evil” or “fortune-telling” – It’s a tool for guidance, not predicting the future with certainty.
You don’t have to be psychic – Anyone can learn Tarot with study and practice.
The Death card doesn’t mean literal death – It symbolizes transformation and rebirth.
Tarot doesn’t control your fate – It offers insights, but you have free will.

Final Thoughts

Tarot is a powerful tool for self-discovery, spiritual connection, and decision-making. Whether used for guidance, reflection, or intuition development, the cards provide deep insights into life’s journey.
