When I do a Tarot reading for you, I’m providing information through your angels and guides to give you a new perspective about happenings in your life, as well as a course of action that might work for you. I often liken a Tarot reading to learning how to get off a hamster wheel of indecision or confusion. The reading will usually identify the core issue, and then give you direction for the best way for you to address the problem.
Let me give you a few examples from two readings. (The names have been changed). Heidi wanted to know if she should stay in a relationship. The cards told the story of how the relationship was not turning out like she had imagined it would. I must say that, from what she told me, I personally thought the cards would say it was in her best interest to leave. To the surprise of both of us, the cards said that if she left at this time she would be full of sadness and remorse. On the other hand, if she stayed, there would be an opportunity to heal and options to resolve the issues this couple faced. Heidi was then given specific steps for a course of action that would open up possibilities, rather than to close doors.
Although Heidi’s question was about staying in the relationship, she thought she had already decided to leave and was looking to the cards for confirmation. She was too angry and close to the issue to see any other option. The reading didn’t solve her dilemma, but it did suggest a plan of action that empowered Heidi to take action that was not rash and could actually end up not leading to heartbreak.
This is a great example of why I always invoke the reminder to “not let any of my own opinions enter this reading without so stating.” It’s important that I’m reading the cards as the guides wish me to, and not to project what I think they will say. Heidi contacted me later to say she and her partner were in counseling and their future looked bright.
In another reading, a card came up that indicated Pat was going to have a financial challenge. Pat rejected the card saying that his finances were in great shape. To his surprise the card came up again, was rejected, and then came up a third time. I suggested we consider what to do if this financial challenge did indeed come to pass, and drew a best course of action card.
A few weeks later Pat contacted me and said that, yep, the financial setback had occurred. But, because he knew the rest of the story according to the cards, he did not panic and took the suggested action, and everything turned out well for him.
The moral of the story is this. Tarot won’t solve your problems, but the cards can suggest a course of action to a solution you may not have considered . I suggest you pay attention to the cards, keep an open mind, and be willing to do the work to solve the problems. You have free will; the cards tell the story of what has been,what is, and what could be.
