Unless the reading is about a completely new and specific subject, I suggest waiting at least three months between professional tarot readings. Before returning to the cards, let things develop and alter.

You Want a Redo
I frequently observe people attempting to “chase the right answer.” People will visit several tarot readers or ask the same question repeatedly to the same tarot reading until they receive the response they desire (which, by the law of averages, does happen eventually). Kind of useless, this!
Your Question Is About Someone Else
Tarot readings are not the solution if your entire line of inquiry is about another person’s thoughts and actions (such as what your ex is up to). Tarot is meant to help you gain understanding of *yourself,* not other people. (A better option would be to reconsider and rephrase your query as if you were looking for help on how to move past your split.)
You’re Looking for Medical Advice
Simply said, neither physical nor mental health concerns can be diagnosed or treated using the cards. Some things are better left in the hands of medical specialists rather than tarot readers!
How can I guarantee the accuracy of my tarot reading?
The trick for having an accurate tarot reading is to, as Reed says in her AMA, be precise and succinct with your queries, regardless of whether it’s a live card reader in front of you, a FaceTime reading, or a pre-recorded one (all of which are choices, by the way). Look within, concentrate on the specific areas in which you want help, and be willing to choose “advice above direct answers.”
“Although yes-or-no questions can be answered directly, Alvarez advises putting your inquiry in a more open-ended fashion. “You may question, “What would happen if I married Joe?” as opposed to, “Am I ever going to marry to Joe?” That would enable you to learn whether Joe is even a potential spouse or whether this connection is in your best interests.
“We sometimes prevent ourselves from getting the support and direction we genuinely require because we are so focused on achieving a particular result. Spend some time clarifying your questions to avoid that.” Spiritual adviser Alexis Alvarez
The advice is generally appropriate in all circumstances. For example, the question “Will I be rich and famous?” may instead be phrased as “What should I focus on to achieve great financial success?”
Questions you don’t really want answered
Even though it might seem apparent, it’s advisable to refrain from asking the tarot cards questions that you aren’t prepared to hear the answers to. That’s because answers to these questions can reveal information you’re just not quite ready to hear.
“Tarot can definitely come off as offensive if you’re not willing to hear the truth or consider an opposing point of view. Tarot reading Nicole Fortunaso
According to tarot reader and life coach Nicole Fortunaso, “tarot may truly come out as offensive if you are not willing to hear the truth of the problem or look at an alternate viewpoint.” She advises considering why you’re responding the way you are in order to reflect on the best way to address the underlying cause if you ask the question and are unsatisfied with the response.
What should you do initially while using a Tarot deck?
What to Do First:
- Get out your tarot deck.
- In your hand, hold the cards.
- “Knock or tap the pile of cards numerous times while holding them in your palm to disseminate your energy throughout the deck.
- Shuffle the cards completely.
- The cards are divided into three heaps, which are subsequently reassembled into one pile.
What kind of religion are tarot cards?
Tarot cards are frequently cited as a component of New Age thought and practice along with astrology, aspects of Buddhism, paganism, and First Nations teachings in the eclectic scholarly approach to the New Age.
I constantly getting the same tarot cards; why is that?
A recurring card typically represents a message or lesson that you have not fully understood. The querent or you may attach great importance to that card in some way; it may include a message that, when understood, can significantly alter the circumstance you are asking about. However, it is not being heard for some reason.
For instance, the 10 of Wands card has frequently appeared in my life, especially when I push myself too hard or shoulder too many tasks without regard for how I’m feeling. I have a propensity to take on a lot of work just to burn out and be left with little choice but to sit on the couch at home and watch Netflix. I’m still learning how to get out of it, but it’s kind of a terrible cycle. The ten of wands serves as a reminder of the lesson I still have to learn: how to prioritize my goals and seek for assistance when I need it.
Tarot cards are able to provide answers.
Think carefully about what you want to learn before consulting a professional or doing your own card reading. then take these actions:
Break your questions into smaller chunks
A thorough tarot reading typically consists of three cards or more. If you’re reading your own cards, divide your main inquiry into three or more more manageable components that, when combined, will result in a comprehensive response. Organize your spread in a logical or chronological order. In this manner, a road made of cards will allow you to “walk.” This method of thinking might also assist you in being more specific about what you want to learn if you’re consulting a tarot reader.
Think about the past and the future
The past/present/future spread, in which three cards are chosen to represent the past, present, and future, is a popular tarot spread. This fundamental pattern is the basis for many other spreads, with additional cards providing more details about your situation. For spreads like this, think about the actions you took to get to where you are today, what in your past may be the primary factor causing your current circumstance, and what actions you will need to take next. Finally, think about any further questions or ideas you may have once you get the answer to your initial query.
Make your questions specific
Whether you’re reading your own cards or consulting a professional reader, the more specific your inquiries are, the simpler it will be to respond to them. It’s challenging enough to connect the meanings of tarot cards to your issue because they frequently have many, perhaps ambiguous, interpretations. It only adds another layer of complication to an already complex topic. Don’t inquire, for instance, “What are their genuine feelings and will that cause them to contact me again? Draw a card for each of the following questions instead: “What are their genuine sentiments for me? “Will they contact me again?” follows.
You can ask WHEN things will happen
Be not afraid of “when inquiries! It is acceptable to ask queries like, “How soon will they get back to me? More specific information can be found in your tarot reader or tarot book, but in general, each of the four suits corresponds to a particular era. Days or spring are represented by Wands, weeks or autumn by Swords, months or summer by Cups, and years or winter by Pentacles.
Think carefully before asking a yes or no question
Yes or no questions can be answered using tarot, but it’s not as simple as it would seem. Although the question structure is simple, it can be difficult to read the cards because none of them have a clear “yes” or “no” meaning. And to be honest, you’re probably already finding it difficult to analyze this circumstance, which is why you decided to consult the tarot! To get around this, choose two cards in advance, decide which one stands for “yes” (perhaps the Ace of Wands), and which one stands for “no” (maybe the Ten of Swords), then shuffle the two cards and pull one or the other.
It’s okay NOT to ask questions too
Please inquire if there is anything specific you need to know. However, there are occasions when you simply want to see what the cards will show since you are unsure of what you are looking for. If this is the case, tell your reader a little bit about yourself (including your relationship status, place of employment, family, and any urgent problems you are now facing) and state that you would want to be inspired or informed about your life as it is at this time.
Can you read tarot cards daily?
Every day, practice. Although some people may find it easy to interpret tarot cards, as with anything you learn, practice makes perfect. Kelly Sarber, a psychic medium and intuitive based in California, told INSIDER that daily practice is just as crucial as picking the best deck.
