Learn to read tarot cards: take the first 2 steps to read tarot cards for yourself
Before you can learn to read tarot cards, you must choose a deck of tarot cards. Some say they must be given to you, or you must find them: that is not the case (although, if you really believe that to be true, then of course it will be true for you). While it’s awesome if someone gives you a deck, or if you discover one in your grandmother’s attic, that’s not how most tarot card readers today find their decks. Look at them (all the cards in the deck that you think you like) and feel them. If a dealer won’t let you feel them, go elsewhere (you don’t have to go to a psychic fair, even popular bookstores, like Borders, have tarot cards these days. However, you may not find as large a selection like if you go to a self-help/spirituality/new age store). Choose the deck you like best and go ahead and buy it yourself.
Once you have a tarot deck, you’ll want to do things like clean it (not with water, but with the smoke of incense or burning sage), bless it, or adhere the tarot deck to yourself (infuse it with your energy), and store it in a nice handkerchief. silk or in a box. Now, once you’ve used your own psychic energy (your thoughts, infused with your spirit) to clear the vibration of commerce and other people from your new tarot deck, you’re ready to do a reading. Well almost. That is, you first want to choose a format, or how many tarot cards you are going to throw, in what order, and what you want to learn from the tarot cards when you throw them (of course, you will shuffle the cards well, or ask the consultant (person to the one you are reading) to shuffle and cut them at least 3 times with the left hand first).
An easy reading to start with is the 7 day tarot card reading. A seven day reading gives the querent what he expects: a reading that covers what energies will be present in the next seven days. After shuffling and cutting the cards, the reader will be dealt seven cards, in a horizontal row. Next, before analyzing the cards, the reader will deal seven more cards, one on top of each of the previous seven cards. Two cards are required for each day because the focus of a psychic reading is always energy. Y, energy is always in motion.
The first set of tarot cards reflects the energies for the next day. It is important for the tarot reader to pay attention to the possible interactions of the two cards and therefore the two energies. What must also be considered is the energy of the querent. I have found that the energy of the querent is often reflected in the position of the card. For example, if the card is positive, like the Wheel of Fortune, and it lands upright in the reading, the querent will be interacting with the positive energy in a positive way and there is likely to be a positive outcome: i.e. a great day. with some goal accomplished.
However, if the wheel of fortune turns upside down (or similarly, if it is covered by another card that is not so positive, such as the ten of spades), then the outlook for that day is not so positive, and the letters are more difficult to read. Perhaps the querent will have a great opportunity, but will adopt an inappropriate posture and will not realize the potential positive energy. Perhaps the querent will get the benefit of the energy, but will have to overcome some drama or other obstacle before reaching the goal. One benefit of using circular tarot cards, such as the Motherpeace Tarot by Vicki Noble and Karen Vogel, is that the card can fall, not only upright or inverted, but it can also fall a little to the right, a little to the side. the left, or far to the right or far to the left. A circular card can land in any position and can give you a greater degree of variables.
The next two cards will reflect the energies for the following day the day after the reading, and so on, until the reader details the querent’s (or their own) next week. The reading will become less accurate as time goes on. This is because reading tarot cards and fortune telling are prophetic arts. And, people change all the time. When a person changes, his energy changes. Thus, the way in which the person interacts with the energies that come into his life will be different. In the longer term, a change in a person’s energy will ultimately affect which energies enter their life, making any previous reading even less accurate. The reason a psychic reading tends to be relatively accurate is because most people don’t change very quickly or very often (there are many exceptions to this generalization). Use this information to remind yourself that every day is a new opportunity to change the way we interact with the world, and therefore change the world we live in.
