\"Card<\/a><\/p>\n

Have you ever had a great Tarot reading<\/a> and wondered if you could use this amazing resource yourself? Many of my clients have expressed the desire to read cards, and, in the same breath, said, \u201cBut I\u2019m not psychic, so I guess I can\u2019t.\u201d This isn\u2019t true! If you have the patience and the discipline to learn the art of Tarot reading, you can absolutely do it on your own.<\/p>\n

What you need to read Tarot effectively is a relationship with the cards. This comes through experience, study, and developing your intuition. No one, no matter how naturally psychic, sits down for the first time with a deck of Tarot cards and reads them flawlessly.<\/p>\n

Developing Intuition<\/strong><\/p>\n

Intuition is that doorway to our higher self, or wise self, that we can all access. Most people don\u2019t really pay attention to their intuition, but, if asked, can name a time when they had a feeling about something and then were proved right by unfolding circumstances. This is basic intuition at work. Reading cards requires that we actually know how our intuition speaks to\/through us and how to drop into the headspace to receive it.<\/p>\n

Psychic ability is a refined form of intuition<\/a> and may come about as a result of your practice with the cards. Intuition and psychic skills are two sides of the same coin, and neither one is really better than the other. To develop your intuitive faculty, you need to spend time experimenting with receiving it. The following is a short checklist of practices to begin awakening your intuition:<\/p>\n

\u2022 Meditate or have some other practice to help you learn to quiet your mind.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Investigate different kinds of psychic abilities, such as clairsentience<\/a>, clairvoyance<\/a>, clairaudience<\/a>, or claircognizance<\/a> to see if your intuition may be coming through in these forms.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Practice visualization<\/a> or guided meditation to learn to focus your imagination.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Listen to your hunches, ideas, and inspirations\u2014just start paying more attention to your \u201cfirst thought, best thought\u201d response to situations.<\/p>\n

Study<\/strong><\/p>\n

There is a huge body of knowledge surrounding the Tarot. It\u2019s worthwhile to study its history<\/a>, theories about Tarot, and the traditional definition of the cards<\/a>. I recommend getting a good Tarot dictionary as you will need to move beyond the little booklet that comes with the cards. I also suggest students start with a conventional deck before moving to oracle cards or variations on the Tarot. This way, you can first familarize yourself with the basic symbols. But don\u2019t think you have to memorize each card\u2019s definition before you start to read.\u00a0<\/p>\n

You can study with Tarot professionals, take a class or online course, and learn from how-to books. All this is valuable. But don\u2019t get stuck on this part. You need to get actual experience with the cards to really make the leap from curious to competent with the Tarot.<\/p>\n

Experience With The Cards<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is probably the most important piece of learning to read Tarot, and it will blend with the other two. You must spend time with the cards! I recommend the following practices to my clients:<\/p>\n

\u2022 Draw a card a day. Spend time journaling about your impressions of the card (don\u2019t look at the book). Be aware of how the card plays out in your day.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Keep a Tarot journal. Record your practice readings, the card of the day, and other insights about the Tarot here.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Learn how to do a one-card spread. Keeping it simple will help you learn to apply cards to different situations. Pick areas of your life to draw cards about. Practice asking about past, present, and future situations.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Learn to do a three-card spread. Do the above but using three cards. Play with applying different meanings to the cards, like \u201cpast, present, future\u201d and \u201cmind, body, spirit.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2022 Do at least one reading every few days where you don\u2019t<\/em> look at the book. Write down your intuitive impressions, even if they don\u2019t make sense. Play with how the cards look and feel to you.<\/p>\n

Psychic ability is a wonderful skill to develop, but it isn\u2019t necessary to consider yourself a psychic to effectively read cards for yourself or for your friends. Reading professionally<\/a> does require stepping up your game, but most people just want to have a meaningful, personal relationship with the Tarot rather than reading as a job. You can learn to read Tarot cards\u2014and you will gain so much more intuitive insight for all of your life in the process.<\/p>\n
