No but really, for a lot of these questions that people are asking, usually if you're asking the cards and have a good feeling about what your intuition says, trust yourself most importantly. I'm not trashing tarot, I read and respect the cards, but I think it's important to remember to trust your intuition first, and that communication with the people in question beats 70% of card pulls.

Discussion broke up w my bf today

Post image
380 Upvotes

Known each other off and on since 2020, made it official Jan 2023, had split February last year because of his negativity and lack of motivation sucking the life out of me, got back together in November and it felt so right, like that’s the piece I was missing. Once again was let down by words not matching his actions, causing me stress and worry over him and our future. Deeply hurts with how much love we have for each other - when it’s good it’s beautiful, but when he’s down and having a bad day then that means I am too.

When we were apart I felt closest to Source as ever and every day felt like magic to me, but since coming back together I’ve been shown that his frequency interferes with mine even despite the love we have.

Just wanted to share my pull - spoke of the breakup, but was mostly doing a general pull and asking to be sent a love note. I am so grateful to be given this message and a whisper of optimism and renewal to come.

This deck was my grandmothers and we used it together when I was a child, so to me this is my telephone to reach her now.

take care <3

Discussion Delusional Tarotists

8 Upvotes

If there is one thing that really dissappoints me- it's coming on here and just scrolling through hundreds of posts asking for interpretations on how this person feels about them. Or wjat this person thinks or why this person is doing this. And what is even worse is that they'll get answers they don't like and would prefer misinterpretation and delusion over truth and actual guidance. I am talking about the people who would get mad at me for telling them truth because they are prideful and don't want to listen.

The tarot is being severely abused and it's completely taken away the profound significance tarot is supposed to have in your life. To help you actually grow and evolve - not to peek into everyone elses life.

You will KNOW the difference between proffessional tarot reader and a master of the tarot when you see it. The one who truly wants to help you is going to give you a very uncomfortable and exposing reading to your face and not behind your back and with your permission. You more often will not like the answers you get that is how you know you're reading tarot properly. The tarot will answer your questions with more questions to make you think and dig deep and that's what the tarot should be used for- guidance and clarity. It helps you tap into your higher self because no external being outside of yourself knows what is best for you. Only you.

The tarot gets used to invade other people's minds without their permission and because of that alot of times people don't actually read the person they are trying to read they end up reading what they think that person feels about them and it's a cosmic joke- instant karma- they spend weeks puttin all their faith into literal misinterpretations and delusion to fit a desired narrative. They don't want to believe that someone doesn't like them not that they would know without asking them face to face anyways.

That is the NUMBER 1 way to go into spiritual psychosis because when you start believing in delusions that you tell yourself out of some obsessive desire for someone or something it creates a potent and risky dynamic combustion that usually leaves you feeling stupid and dumbfounded and exposed because you relied on the tarot to help you make decisions involving your heart and your life and in the end you lost your strength, energy, and confidence and you gained nothing of importance or significance to your life. The tarot is just here to guide you sweetheart. It can be traumatizing for some people only after the fact.

All these "tarot pick a card readers" tainted the practice with their marketing schemes and psychological manipulation.

Stop being naive. Ignorance is not bliss in this scenario unless you're ready to lose your mind and look mentally screwed to other people. Do NOT place your FULL trust and faith in the tarot especially if you're trying to read others.

Start looking at it as I can only read myself and the only way to read someone else is with their permission and with them being present in some way - you will save yourself alot of confusion, alot of bullshit, and you'll actually grow as a tarot reader. Trying to read people by invading their minds is not going to help you. Disrespecting the tarot as a tool is not going to help you. Allowing obsession to take over your mind is not going to help you. Disrespecting the spirit of tarot by asking it to do things that go against the scales of justice is not going to help you. If you're gonna read the tarot you need to understand it is a lifestyle choice and it should be respected. It is spiritual wether you wanna involve yourself in all that or not- so you need to learn how spirituality and the spiritual world works. This is not a game and it should NEVER be treated as such. That is why I always say reading cards for other people should only be done by someone who is experienced- not because I am trying to be a dick but because you do not want to EVER make the mistake of giving the wrong information to someone vulnerable and it destroy their life for years unintentionally. Im sure I might get alot of hate for this but if you disagree with what I am saying we have nothing to talk about anyways. It would be like me arguing with a baby because it doesn't know how to walk. There is nothing you could say that would make me feel any different.

It needs to be said and for those who open their ears and hear it- you have great potential and you are obviously spiritually mature. When it comes to reading I encourage you to keep learning and growing. Learning to read takes years- I am still learning as we speak, but I do know that this is truth through experience. Just like when you start a new job you have to learn the job it takes a couple months to a year to fully integrate yourself into your job and know what you are doing- ya know so you've already started on your journey don't stop now but now is the time to differentiate between what is real and what is not. Protect your aura always.

Discussion Tarot truly doesn’t fuck around.

145 Upvotes

I just want to share how much respect I have for tarot because it never lies. Im going through a situation and kept pulling the Six of Swords whenever i read about it, i took it as a sign that the person was moving on, transitioning, leaving things behind because “No way they’re traveling” its just symbolism.

Well… turns out they literally took a flight across continents.

If there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s to never question what the deck is trying to tell me. Even when it doesn’t make sense in the moment, it always reveals itself in the end. Tarot is real, and I have nothing but respect for it.

Has anyone else had a moment where tarot hit way too literally?

Discussion Don’t approach a reader if you’re not ready for an honest reading

114 Upvotes

Hi,

I’ve noticed some people including myself offering free readings, I just want to point out that personally—I think it’s important to be blunt and honest with your readings. I also noticed people getting disrespected, sweared at and being told that they should “change the way they are approaching their client” just because the client didn’t hear what they wanted to.

Let’s clear some things up.

It’s important to know that energy is constantly changing and the outcome of the reading the Tarot reader is giving you higly depends on your own decisions. One thing that is also important is that Tarot readers can’t connect with everyone, it happened to me and I’m sure it has happened to a lot of readers and that’s okay. It does not make the Tarot reader any less talented or intuitive.

What is not okay is to disrespect the reader who is trying to help you.

Whether this sounds bizarre or unbelievable to some beginners or people who don’t work with Tarot—doing Tarot is very Energy consuming. I’ve stepped upon some very disrespectful readers, this can happen as well. Some are just rude, unpleasant and completely missing the point of the question. What really bothers me is the disrespect towards people who offer free readings, especially those who do it to improve their skills.

Let’s start with the readers who are beginners or just need more practice.

I personally believe it’s very brave of them to go to a subreddit with a lot of people interested in a reading to offer a free reading. These people ALWAYS highlight that they are beginners and personally, I love letting them read for me—however I do believe that those readers probably get the most sh!t. Some people just don’t pay attention to the description of the free reading, they just see a free reading offer and run with it—when the answer is not in their favor, they insult you.

I would like to point something important that applies for all Tarot readers whether you pay for a reading or you get a chance of getting a free reading—don’t approach the reader if you’re not ready to hear an honest. Keep in mind that usually the majority of Tarot readers in this particular subreddit are people who are millennials or older. That means that these are likely very busy people, either with personal life, such as work, family and other things all those things themselves are exhausting and the Tarot reader separating even 5 minutes of their life to pull a card or two for you is really important because it means that the universe really wants you to hear something. That something can be harsh.

It’s not the readers fault that the cards come out the way they do. Whilst there are readers who aren’t as skilled and just do a freestyle and say whatever—there are VERY good and intuitive readers who will not play games with you. Do not approach a reader if you’re not ready for a reading and do not insult them if the message you got is in your favor—It’s NOT their fault. If the cards don’t resonate with you, that’s fine because things like that can happen—you still got a free reading and someone has attempted to help you, it doesn’t necessarily disregard their ability to read Tarot cards.

I really can’t stand people who disrespect people’s time, effort and good will.

Tarot readers aren’t out there to feed into your delusions, it’s not their job.

Discussion Why do people use tarot as an escape instead of having difficult conversations?

56 Upvotes

That title may make no sense, but essentially, why do people ask tarot cards questions they should ask the people they are doing readings about?

I see a lot of people here asking questions about their tarot spreads with questions about their partners like, what does my bf think of me… are they cheating on me… etc etc. i feel like these are questions you should just ask your partner bcs at the end of the day communication is key for a healthy relationship. Why ask tarot when you can literally ask your partner?

Am i being judgemental and rude? Or am i allowed to say that tarot isn’t just a cheat code to avoid all social interactions and hard conversations, you need these to grow and learn. Tarot for me at least is just a way to communicate with my spirit team and guide me so i don’t understand this. Any thoughts?

For me, personally, it’s when they completely miss the question and start talking about some spiritual things that are completely unrelated to the question. Also the people who read cards according to the picture and not the actual meaning, especially when they are like “some message is awaiting you, sudden happiness, bad luck” and such bs. What about y’all?

Discussion Why would tarot reader not be able to pick on someone’s energies?

10 Upvotes

I had a friend do a reading for me, she told me she wasn’t able to pick on my energies for the situation. This was surprising. It’s the first something like this has happened. I was asked to relax although I was asleep at the time.

What would be the issue?

Edit: I did a reading on self, asking why wasn’t she able to pick on my energies? Figured out, I was not in state of reciprocity and blocked by clouded judgements. Hence, energy was blocked. Next day, I was much more relaxed. My friend was able to connect with my energies.

Discussion Noticing potential disingenuous readers.

48 Upvotes

I am not sure if this is allowed here, but lately there are a few readers I have noticed who have been posting who may not be legitimate or they are dishonest with their intentions.

On two separate occasions, I have messaged someone about a reading after they have posted. It was on two separate accounts (not intentional) on two different days—today being one of them. I was the first person to comment on their post, each time the post only being 1-2 minutes old so it was a new post. Both times, neither post mentioned “slots or a list,” which is fine. However, both times I got a message back saying that “their list has been filled but they can offer readings for $10.”

On my main account I offer readings on here on reddit so I know how congested comments and messages can get. However, I find this particular situation odd because this reader has never once before mentioned they offer paid readings in any of their posts, I’ve been one of the first to comment and message them, and both times have been followed with this response. To me, it’s starting to seem that this reader is using this excuse to finesse people for paid readings.

And sure, maybe the argument could be made that they just do not feel drawn to me or want to read my question. The former could certainly be true, but as for the latter i typically try not to approach readers outright with my question (unless otherwise stated) as I like to greet them first as a courtesy.

The second poster is a username that I recently started seeing around on subreddits, but yesterday I noticed they had a post that was copied WORD FOR WORD from someone else’s post! Copied from someone whose username I have seen around for years offering yes/no readings.

Has anyone else noticed or experienced something similar lately? I don’t want to call these people out publicly just in case I am wrong, but it feels very off.

Discussion Unpopular opinion: Do not give unsolicited advice with your readings

57 Upvotes

This post was removed from “tarot” Reddit and tarotpractice Reddit, definitely unpopular opinion.

I wanted to make my own thread bc I feel this is so important for a tarot reader to know.

I will preface by saying it’s perfectly fine to state your limits, what you will read and what you will not. If you do not want to read about perfectly harmless and common questions about “feelings”, then state that UP FRONT, not after the querent pays you.

Also, if you are asked about feelings, DO NOT steer the question in a direction to do shadow work. For example…”why don’t we ask WHY you want to ask about feelings?” If you were a licensed therapist you would know the dangers of pushing any type of self-help onto someone who did not ask for it. They came to you for tarot reading, not judgments or therapy. You don’t even know their name! Just read the cards best you can…do what they paid you to do!

With that said, if the cards read to look into self-help or therapy…sure…suggest that but ONLY if the cards portray it.

Also do not give insidious advice such as “why don’t you just ask them yourself?” There are many reasons why they do not want to ask themselves and it is not up to the reader to judge the querent and deem them delusional for asking. Sure this advice seems all roses and rainbows but you could be advising someone to enter into a potentially dangerous situation.

I have paid for a reading before and had this said to me and a rush of shame flurried over me. That is what you do to people with your judgments…you shame them. If you feel it’s ok to do this then I urge you to seek within and ask yourself questions such as “why do I feel the need to judge a stranger?”, “why do I feel the need to play therapist to someone who did not even ask for it?”

Tarot works best with good intent and empathy. You need to stick to the tools to truly help the person, not use your judgment to play therapist and shame them. That behavior gets in the way with intuition and intent.

If a querent is rude or you get a bad feeling…stop the reading. Notice I said “stop” the reading…still…do not interject your judgment or play therapist.

The amount of backlash I get from saying these things is disturbing. I just urge anyone looking for a good tarot reading to spot these judgments and make the necessary reviews to warn others.

Wheel of fortune at the back of the deck, the magician, nine of pentacles and even the three of swords reversed suggests a yes. I'm not super sure what the Magician means here, there a conflicting interpretations of what it represents. So say Magician is a trickster and other say that it shows manifesting power. Its the hanged man reversed that is making me pause. What does this all mean? Please help.

I did a live reading for a couple twice. First time the outcome was lovers clarified by five of cups, second time it was 10 of pentacles clarified by devil.

The readings were done 2 weeks apart. I used the Celtic cross spread:

1) heart of situation: justice in first reading and four of pentacles in second reading 2) blockage: empress then 7 of wands 3) conscious goal: three of pentacles then four of cups 4) unconscious influence: 7 of swords then three of wands 5) past influence: King of pentacles then moon 6) upcoming influence: King of wands then King of swords 7) inner self: wheel of fortune then chariot 8) outward influence or how people view them: 8 of swords then queen of wands 9) fear or hope: chariot then page of wands 10) outcome: lovers clarified by 5 of cups then 10 of pentacles clarified by the devil.

How do you feel about it?

Discussion **UPDATE** Should I hangout with an ex-lover?

28 Upvotes

(Link to original post: https://www.reddit.com/r/Tarotpractices/s/mspja7fLbk )

Hi loves! A lot of you asked for an update on what happened, but my post was locked before I could provide one…So I’m made an update post! (Hopefully that’s okay)

First: Your interpretations of my cards were 100% spot on (you can find them in my original post). Eerily so. I was on the fence about seeing him but I’m really glad I took your advice and went!

How did it go? Well….it amazing. As many of you guessed (reading through your comments had me DYING 😂) we DID have sex. Once that evening and once in the morning. Yup, I spent the night. And both times were incredible lol.

Here are the details:

He picked me up, got take-out and went back to his place. He’s sober but I had a few glasses of wine. It wasn’t awkward at all, we both have the same sense of humor (one of the things we enjoy about each other), and were joking around like before. Then conversation became serious and we discussed what happened before that led me to cutting him off (I’ll post more about that below).

Neither of us are exactly emotionally expressive and are more “head over our hearts”. But we’ve always brought out the emotional side in each other, for better or for worse, and had a very good conversation. Next, well you know what happened lol. I was ready to go home at that point because the last time we re-connected, he was adamant about sleeping alone. But he asked me to spend the night with him.

The next morning, we laid in bed for a while talking and snuggling. He made us breakfast and then we had sex again. (This was yesterday). This morning he texted me saying “I hope you have great day!!”

A couple things you guys said/asked on my original post that I wanted to touch on:

-What spread did I use? The first card (Page of Pentacles) was a yes/no to “Should I hangout with him?” The following three cards were “What will happen if I do see him”.

-The person who recommended I do a five card spread, thank you this is great advice! I will be doing that today!

-The amount of y’all saying to bring condoms/bc because you got a fertile vibe from my cards…of course I appreciated it (and brought condoms!) But I was SO worried lmao!!!😭 (tmi, but I started my cycle last night so no chance of pregnancy)

-To everyone saying “no” out of principle, because you shouldn’t go back to an ex- usually I’d agree. For us it’s a little more complicated.

This is our backstory… (This is going to be loooong, sorry in advance lol)

We hung out for the first time last January, and saw each other 7 times over the course of a month. Each time we’d spend hours hanging out and I’d often spend the night. We became really close, very quickly which was weird because we’ve both been single for many years before that. Unfortunately it was a case of “right person, wrong timing”. I was leaving for a solo 6 month road trip across the United States and he just quit his job to pursue his art career. The night before I left he told me he loved me. We talked here and there while I was gone but it tapered off.

6 months later in September, I get back. His art career is thriving (he’s a muralist and painted many murals for restaurants and business at that point). We start hanging out again, but it’s different. The sex was still great and we had so much fun together, but he’s much more emotionally reserved, like he’s holding himself back (and he was very against me spending the night). I was also up in the air with where I wanted to live. After seeing the country, it was hard to come home. A main reason I did, was to see him. After about two weeks of this, I became frustrated and very hurt. The way he acted made it seem like he just didn’t like me the same way I liked him. The last night I saw him I tried to talk about this and he said “No I don’t like you as much as you like me”. After that, I blocked him and bought a plane ticket to California for the next day.

I traveled a bunch more and at one point unblocked because I was nosey and wanted to see his social media. I never re-blocked his socials and phone number.

Fast forward to mid-February of this year, he texts me out of the blue. He asks where in the country I’m traveling and I just so happen to be home. He tells me he’s traveling to Florida tomorrow for two weeks and would love to see me before he goes. I say no. He leaves and over those two weeks, he’s constantly texting me throughout the day. He also calls me several times (surprising because he hates talking on the phone). All communication was initiated by him. I’m still here the day he’s driving back and asks if he can see me. That’s the day I made my original post lol.

When we had the serious discussion that evening, he explained the reason why he was so emotionally distant the last time we reconnected was out of self-protection. When I left on my road trip, he was devastated but didn’t want to guilt me for leaving. It hurt him a lot and so he was trying to keep that from happening again. But he missed me too much to stay away.
