Make Tarot a habit!
How often and when should you get a reading? Wisdom on the question varies. I read quarterly for some clients, divining three months into the future. I have a client who stacks her tarot readings with her tax payments.
Checking in with the Tarot on equinoxes and solstices provides transitional insights to match the seasons. Spreads designed around the energies inspired by and in accord with nature’s rhythms can be very instructive.
Monthly is also a good schedule to keep – reading on the full or new moon, depending on your inclination. I read with a couple close friends at each new moon. Its a powerful practice of reflection and visioning.
Querents seek situational readings, when the need arises, too. I’ve listed a few examples of times when you might turn to Tarot for clarity…
- You’ve become exhausted by thinking through a problem and want a fresh perspective.
- You have a big, emotionally-charged decision to make and you don’t trust your own judgement. How can you move beyond the influence of your own ego?
- You receive conflicting input from trusted advisors. How can you know who’s judgement to trust?
- You sense there’s more to the picture that you are not seeing. What are you missing?
- You are attending (or planning!) a big gathering with lot of egos involved and you’re nervous about the mix of personalities. How will you navigate the room?
- An aching tooth needs to come out. What exactly will you be loosing when they pull that tooth?
- You’ve got doubts plaguing you at work. There’s more to the story, but you can’t put your finger on what’s happening. What’s going on?
Please remember, each of us is responsible for what happens on our live’s paths. I read Tarot cards to see obstacles and opportunities, identify prevailing influences and survey potential actions – but the path you walk is your own and you must assume that responsibility.
