Tarot Talk & Technique

Are there any cards you would associate with Kundalini rising? The Tower was the first one that came to my mind. Perhaps there are other cards too?

Hi everyone. Does anyone else ever get Tarot fatigue? I was trying to work with the cards last night, and I couldn't make any sense of them at all. Not only that, for a while I felt like I never wanted to see another Tarot card ever again. It was really frustrating, and I finally just gave up for the night. Do you ever feel like this, and if you do, how do you deal with it?

Hi guys, not sure if this has been discussed before, so bear with me. I struggle with anxiety. I am getting medicated but it is not helping. I have noticed, that in every reading about my daily life, all of the cards point to me being anxious and worrying rather than telling me what will actually happen. For example, I asked my cards about an interview yesterday and I got 'negative' cards pointing to sadness and anxiety and burdens. And well, I was stressed, but the interview went very well and I was offered a place! But I did not see this in the cards. All they focused on was stress. Same issue about whether I will get housing or not - cards are pointing to m…

I'm on the email list for the Capital Tarot Society (Rachelcat from AT's group based in Washington, D.C.), and this piece just got shared. Basically the idea is that the writer took each card from the Major Arcana and paired it with a book that she feels illustrates the principles of or relates to the card. Pretty cool idea! http://www.signature-reads.com/2017/09/reading-major-arcana-22-tarot-card-book-pairings/

I have these: I-ching and rune tarot. You? :)

Hi guys I am pretty new to tarot reading and tried to do Biddy tarot’s full moon spread. And I need help understanding my reading. The Spread: 1. How have a nurtured my emotional self in the last 6 months? 2. Where in my life am I ready to heal? 3. How can I open my heart whilst maintaining healthy boundaries? 4. Which of my emotions are no longer serving my highest good? 5. What aspects of my life need mothering now? 6. What do I need to release to trust life? My Spread: 1. Nine of Swords 2. The Fool 3. Three of Swords & Seven of Cups 4. Two of Swords 5. The World & Three of Wands 6…

Hello again everyone, and thank you all so much for making me feel so welcome, I already feel at home 🙂 I was just wondering what peoples "go to" techniques/layouts/spreads are.. For example, If I'm going to do a reading for another person, I generally go for the Celtic cross, I think this is because I'm comfortable with this layout and I always feel a nervous pressure when I am reading for other people. However, when I'm reading for myself, I use a large variety of layouts, and techniques. I love looking a new spreads and learning new techniques, so some new ideas would be great 🙂 Thanks all

Hi! (Newbie warning) I did a reading for myself a few days ago, and now I did another reading on a similar question with a different spread. I was wondering - are you refining your reading on previous session based on a session done later on? Do you take the new information to reinforce or contradict previous reading? Would you give more weight to interpretations that are common for both readings over ones that include change, for example in decision spreads, that the preferable option is different than in the initial reading? Lorem.

I am reading a Oracle deck book and the author says that Oracles funny scare people the way Tarot Cards do. She thinks that people perceive the Tarot to be evening and that they are afraid to have readings with them. Sitting my experience is limited, I can honestly say that I haven't met anyone that felt that they are black magic it evil. What do you think? I still love Tarot.

A serious personal story: About 25 years ago, I read tarot for a man on the cusp of homelessness, Outside a cafe. Complete stranger. While I was just beginning to slowly charge for my services, he saw me studying my Thoth, sat down across from me, and simply said, "please." Agitated and dirty, gaunt and exhausted, I saw the despondency on his face as I had him take three deep breaths, felt his suffering as I shuffled. He and his girlfriend were being evicted in three days time. I pulled just one card, and began to speak about the definition as I understood from my books. I completely missed the mark, as I yet did not yet understand the full process of interplay…

Is it necessary to possess a tarot certificate, in order to read tarot professionally?

Just wondering if anyone has used this book and how did you find it if so? I saw it come up for sale at a good price and was curious.

you must of heard by now.. that you add the numbers up eh ? aka 10 becomes 1,, 11, becomes 2 ,, 19 becomes 10, and becomes one. you can read about the mandelas in tarot constellatiions by mary k greer. I was reading I think forest of souls at the time.. by racheal Pollack,, and the fool as 22 yet also 0. and I thought to myself 2-2 makes 0. and some light bulb went off above my head,, big beam of light came donw and shook my body (joking about the last part ). I reasoned that if the hermit makes things move,, by adding.. would I work by subtracting ? aka 11 becomes 0 , 1-1 . 12 becomes 1 2-1 13 becomes 2 , 3-1 14 becomes 3 , 4-1 !!? a…

What question could I ask and spread to use in order to find out if a friend is ok. I can't ask the friend because they're the kind of person who always says "yeah, good thanks." Sent from my SM-N950F using Tapatalk

I never remember the readings I've done for clients once the reading is over with and some time passes. I've heard other readers say the same. The best I can do is refer to any notes I might have made in the previous reading but I don't usually take notes. (Speaking of online readings.) So, I thought it would be interesting to post a thread so others can share about what their experience is with this. For those who have had clients or sitters who assume you remember a previous reading you've done for them, what's the reaction you've gotten when you tell them you don't remember?

Our yearly Sacred Days of Yule thread is now open. I'm a little late this year, but there's plenty of time to come check it out and claim a reading post. For those not familiar with it, it's a reading that you do for yourself over the 12 days of Yule from Dec. 20th-December 31st drawing one card per day. This is not an exchange or reading circle, we're just a group of readers that all post our readings for ourselves in the same thread....and chat a bit, ask questions and share observations. Any level of reader is welcome.

With the cost of living increasing and people having to stretch their budgets more and more, I thought it would be a good idea to start a thread where we can post tips and tricks for getting decks and readings and everything tarot and divination related as cheap as possible. Ideas that won't break the budget. We already have a list of free resources for learning tarot and online tarot courses - The big list of free resources for learning tarot We also have De-enabling thread where you can post decks you want to buy and we will talk you out of it 🙂 - This is the DE-ENABLE thread concerning buying and reading of tarot Please post your bes…

I have a few questions about daily readings since it is a very personalized experience. It is for reseach in my bachelor thesis (and my own curiousity). I am super grateful for anyone who can help me out! How do you do daily readings? What are you usually trying to find out when you do your daily reading? Do you read only upright or also reversed? Do you have all the card meanings memorized or do you have to look them up sometimes? Have you ever taken notes about your readings? Thank you so much!

Hello. I'm doing a celtic cross for someone, and I got 8 wands in "this crosses you" and wheel of fortune in the result. It has never happened to me before to get both these cards in the same reading. Is this some strong message about fate? Or, as I think, has fate crossed this person, but will also help them out? It is a love reading, about a specific person who has wronged the sitter badly. I also got death and the star, so I think the sitter will choose to end the relationship. Thank you so much for any insight <3

I'm posting this here in Tarot, but actually the subject could be related to any oracle. I have been debating a lot the actual usefulness of daily readings. I see them being recommended as a form of practice to get more used to certain oracle and, ideally, I can understand how it works. If you use a language everyday you'll become more fluent, more able to discern subtleties in communication etc. My idea when doing daily readings has always been to exercise that. However... in all my times doing daily readings, past and present, I have found them to be very difficult to interpret properly. The times I got something accurate were also times in which…

This is something I have been thinking about recently and a subject for the more spiritual /astrology following/ Moon cycle following readers. Traditionally there is a belief you shouldn't do readings when the Moon is Void of Course. In traditional astrology, it's advisable to not start something new, try to get factual information or communication or divine. It's a window to prepare but not do, because the Moon is in an energetically weak position. Will explain the concept first - The Moon takes 29.5 days to go through all the signs in her (pretty fast) cycle and she spends 2.5 days on average in each sign. Some people follow these cycles in their lives…

Can someone please give me insight on the queen of swords? Some places say it mean loss, but I don't see her that way. I mean she's a queen! She's still ruling, but she's cold. I did a tarot reading asking if i will win a battle in court with a rival. And i got the Queen of Swords. So i think yes, i will win. Can anyone confirm this?

I'm trying to find a reliable android app that gives accurate card explanations, a good range of different spreads and allows for user shuffling and card selection for spreads, and collates data to be able to provide information about trends in your readings. I want to use it as a learning tool. What is your favourite app, and why? Sent from my SM-N950F using Tapatalk

Both of women are happy, but they are happy more as single/alone, and at some point they are (over)protected from Cat/Eagle?
