Do This Before Your Tarot Reading
Tarot reading can become fun and exciting if it is done in
the right manner and with an open mind. There is no right or wrong of reading
the cards but it is best to have a calm state of mind and an understanding of
the cards. The cards represent different meanings and you might feel
overwhelming at times and wonder how people manage it. You want to read the
cards like an expert but you do not know where to start. First and foremost,
breathe. There will always be moments when you doubt your own ability and feel
overwhelmed but it is important to calm down and find a strategy that works for
you.
Tune into
the receptive mode
This is very important for every reader. The receptive
mode is when your mind is quite and you can think and work in the right frame
of mind. You might want to do readings in the mornings or after meditating
because this is when your mind is quiet and you are in the receptive mode. You
can find time to centre yourself and open up. Usually the mind is clearer in
the morning than in the evening or in the afternoon but you need to get
yourself into the receptive mode before you begin. Do whatever it takes to get
into the receptive mode, you can choose to take a long walk, light up a candle
or even meditate. You will not be able to enjoy a reading with your mind all
over the place. Calm yourself down and focus
on your centre to get into the receptive mode before you begin.
Trust
your intuition
Tarot reading is all about your intuition and the first
impression is usually the right impression. You put out the cards and there is
something your heart tell you but it does not match with the book meaning. Now,
go with the meaning that you initially thought about and do not open the book
to verify the same. The book meaning can help you learn and get familiar with
the cards but it does not mean that it applies to all the situations. You do
need the book meanings but you need to trust your intuition at all times. You
need to pay attention to your feelings and the images or words that enter your
mind when you take a look at the cards. Always let your gut point the way and
trust your gut at all times. You can learn a lot more about the importance of

Throw all
the assumptions out of the window
If you have any preconceived assumptions about tarot or
about a situation, you need to immediately throw them out of the window. It
happens sometimes that you ask questions but you already have the answer in
your mind and this is not the same as trusting your gut. You have assumed
things due to your insecurity and fear. Tarot will help answer your questions
and will tell you what you need to know. Do not approach the reading with an
assumption because it will not allow you to make the most of it.
Look at
the overall spread
In order to understand the messages that are coming your
way, you will have to take a step back and look at the overall spread. You need
to look for dominances and the absence of
individual suits, numbers or court cards. This will help you understand the
situation and the energy which is not present. When you understand a situation
and the energy, you can read the cards in a better manner and relate the same
to your past and present.
Every card will tell a story and it is important to
understand the image and the meaning of the card. You should be able to relate
the cards to one another and then consider the question. Tarot is not something
you can learn overnight but it is not something impossible to learn as well.
Tarot cards can be read by anyone who has an in-depth interest in learning and
makes a genuine attempt to excel at it. Readers need to remain calm and know
what they are doing because a lot of times, the querent happens to be anxious
and overwhelmed during the reading. If the reader is not aware of what he is
doing, the results of the reading will not be fruitful and will not satisfy the
client.
