How Tarot Reading Works
So, you’re curious about Tarot? Whether you’ve had a reading before or you’re just dipping your toe into the mystical pool, I want to demystify Tarot a bit. Because it’s not all cloaks and crystal balls (although... I do love a crystal). Tarot is an incredible tool for reflection, guidance and insight...and no, it’s not about predicting lottery numbers or telling you exactly what’ll happen next Tuesday.
Here’s how it really works 👇
Tarot begins with energy
Every Tarot reading begins with energy - your energy. When we sit down together (whether in person or online), I tune into your vibe, your questions, your emotional landscape. The cards don’t have a will of their own - they’re a channel. Think of them like a mirror for your soul, helping reflect what’s going on under the surface.
It’s not fortune-telling—it’s soul-telling
A common misconception is that Tarot tells your future. But actually, Tarot is more about potential. It shows the path you’re on based on your current energy and decisions and what’s likely to unfold if things stay on that track.
But here’s the kicker—you’ve always got free will.
The cards simply offer guidance and insight so you can make more empowered choices.
Every card tells a story
A Tarot deck has 78 cards, each with rich symbolism, imagery and meaning. There are major arcana cards (like The Fool, The Lovers, Death) which often speak to bigger life themes or turning points. Then there are minor arcana cards, which dive into daily life stuff like emotions, work, challenges and relationships.
When I do a reading, I interpret the cards based on their meaning, their placement, and what I’m picking up intuitively from you and your spirit team.
It’s all about you
You don’t need to come in with a list of questions (although you totally can). We can vibe with a general reading or deep dive into a particular area of life. If you’re not sure what to ask, here’s a little inspo:
🔮 Common Questions You Can Ask in a Tarot Reading
- What do I need to know about my current path?
- What’s blocking me from moving forward?
- How can I bring more love/abundance/peace into my life?
- What energy is surrounding my career right now?
- What’s the next step in my healing or spiritual journey?
- What do I need to release in order to grow?
- What’s the energy around this relationship or connection?
- How can I better trust my intuition?
- What message does Spirit have for me today?
There’s no right or wrong way to do it. Come with curiosity and an open heart and we’ll take it from there.
And you’ll always walk away with clarity, direction and something juicy to reflect on.
