What Can You Learn from A Tarot Reading?

By Margaret VanLaanMartin

Tarot cards do not tell the future. Tarot readings are best used as a tool of inner wisdom and guidance, as readings give a person insight to past, current, and future events based on the person's current path at the time of the reading. The cards do not necessarily reveal what will happen, but instead, allow a person to gain an understanding of a situation and determine the best course of action based on what is known and what the cards show. Whether you are a Tarot reading newbie with your own deck of cards or you are about to see a professional reader, it is important to ask the right questions if you want good answers. Before you do a reading for yourself or see a professional psychic, write your questions down. 1. Keep your options open. If you have the answer before the reading, then you are not allowing the cards to guide your overall decision.

2. Your question should be focused but not overly detailed. Rather than looking at one aspect of a problem, find a way to look more broadly at it. 3. Focus on yourself. Make sure your question centers on you rather than on someone else whom you think may be the root of your problem. 4. Stay neutral. Your question should not convey that your view is necessarily the right one. 5.Be positive. Do not ask why a specific event has not happened; ask what you can do to help make that event happen. 6.General readings address the more significant aspects of your life rather than a specific problem area or question. A good general question for a reading is: What is important for me to know right now? Also, you can somewhat direct the reading if you have a general area you want to cover, such as your career or health, but that is as specific as the direction gets. Remember, if you really have one area of your life that is giving you grief, you will get more information by asking specific questions in relation to that area. Although a Tarot reading cannot tell you exactly what will happen in the future, it can certainly give a glimpse into what lies ahead while inspiring you to propel yourself forward through life with love, happiness and gratitude.
