Tarot holds the power to unlock hidden truths and guide us on our life journey. This practice of pulling cards is not reserved for professional readers; it's a tool for everyone and aids in personal growth, self-reflection and receiving messages from your spirit guides. While some may turn to professional Tarot readers, the ability to pull your own cards and interpret their meanings is a skill and science anyone can use.
Exploring Tarot Spreads
Tarot spreads are layouts that dictate the arrangement of cards in a reading. Each spread has a unique purpose and offers insights into specific aspects of life. Here are some common Tarot spreads and their meanings:
One-Card Spread: Perfect for daily reflections, this spread offers a concise answer to a specific question or a general message for the day.
Three-Card Spread: The past, present, and future spread provides insight into the context of a situation, offering a holistic view of an issue.
Celtic Cross Spread: A comprehensive spread that delves deep into the past, present influences, and future outcomes, along with insights into obstacles and personal attitudes.
How to Pull Your Own Cards
Pulling your own Tarot cards is a simple yet profound process:
Set Your Intention: Clearly state your question or intention for the reading. Be specific and open to receiving guidance.
Shuffle the Deck: Focus on your question while shuffling the cards, allowing your energy to infuse them.
Draw Your Cards: You can cut the deck and pick your cards, shuffle the cards until they fall out or use your own method of choosing cards that you feel drawn to, there is no wrong way.
Interpret the Cards: Trust your intuition and analyze each card's symbolism, position, and relation to the question. If you don't know all of the 78 card's meanings yet, we have you covered.
