What is Tarot Card Reading?
Tarot Card Reading is a mystical and symbolic method of prediction that offers clarity and understanding regarding your life's past, present, and future. In Tarot, you pull cards from a traditional Tarot deck in order to understand intuitive knowledge regarding the areas of your life such as love, relationships, career, finances, health, and personal development — or even get real-time insights when you chat with astrologers experienced in Tarot reading.
Tarot is not limited to fortune-telling, Tarot is about clarity. Each card serves as a mirror reflecting your thoughts, energy, and your subconscious programming. Whether you are at a crossroads, want a deeper answer, or simply want to understand yourself on a different level, Tarot provides an opportunity to explore what is below the surface. Trained in suitable and useful descriptions of your life's journey, Tarot serves both as an intuitive practice and a symbolic and soulful storytelling, or language.
The History of Tarot Reading
Following in the path of ancient Europe, Tarot gained notoriety through various early mystics such as Jean-Baptiste Alliette (Etteilla) and Marie Anne Lenormand, which is ultimately how we came to interpret the cards in the way that we do. Whereas Tarot is often viewed as a way of foretelling the future, contemporary Tarot places equal importance on self-awareness, emotional clarity, and spiritual insight, in which you are able to connect deeply with your own inner wisdom.

How Does Tarot Reading Work?
A Tarot reading is an expression of intuition using sight, symbols, and a story. Based on your energy or a specific question, cards are drawn, and each card creates a story that represents the current situation but also recognizes what are other possibilities, perspectives, pathways, solutions and the action steps needed to become empowered.
Whether you're new to Tarot or a long-time seeker, every reading is a chance to slow down, become reflective and reconnect with your inner primary truth. I invite you to experience the power of finding clarity and guidance you need to gain confidence, clarity, and hope through Tarot.
How to Read Tarot Cards?
Reading tarot cards involves a lot of instinctual and reflective thinking. Here is a really simple process you could use as a starting point:
Clear your deck
Before any reading, you will want to shuffle the cards to clear any old energies. Think of this as a meditation. Feel the cards in your hands, focus on your breathing, and visualize your question as clearly as possible.
Set your intention
Whether you are reading for yourself or others, think deeply about the situation or question. Allow yourself to form clear and specific intentions about your inquiry.
Divide and reorder the deck
Once you are ready, divide the deck into three piles. Recombine the piles in any order you wish, and place the pile upside-down on a clean cloth.
Draw the cards
Draw the cards from the pile and pay attention to your immediate emotions or feelings about each card. Each card has a traditional meaning, but the more important thing is understanding your intuition about what each card is saying to you in the current moment.
Frequently Asked Questions

No! "Bad" cards (like Death or The Tower) often indicate growth, change or transformation, not a bad thing. Think of these cards as signs from the universe to switch things up, heal, or to manifest your desires.
Tarot can give insight into your crush's energy, feelings, or what may be blocking you from being together, but it's not likely to read their mind. It is typically better at giving you help on how to approach your crush.
Absolutely not! Tarot is for everyone! Whether you are a firm believer in energy, just love the images and symbolism, or are just plain curious. Tarot is a personal space that is most effective when you are willing to experience something new.
Absolutely, pull one for fun! Tarot doesn't always have to be deep and dramatic. You can ask light-hearted questions like "What kind of energy should I channel today?" or "What mood will my weekend bring?"
