How to read tarot fluently? ›

“If you are starting out, just working by yourself, do a daily card pull where you pull one card from the deck and just think about the meaning of the card. If you do it in the morning, you can keep it in mind as you go through your day. That's a nice way to get to know the cards on a deeper level.” Dyan agrees.

To work most effectively with the cards, Dyan says it's important to ask questions in an open-ended way; you're not looking for yes or no answers, but rather information to guide you. “Keep it simple and let the cards do their thing by asking something like 'What do I need to know right now?

Start questions with how, what, where or why.

Questions that start with how, what, where or why are open-ended, so they allow for deeper answers to some of life's most trying concerns. Asking questions that are too specific might not leave enough room for the tarot to provide a thorough, complete answer.

Sure, you can see all the cards laid out in front of you, but in order to put them together, you need such an expansive perspective that it's almost impossible to interpret the card's full narrative. Basically, your tarot reading is always going to reflect whatever biases you're already bringing to the table!

My personal rule of thumb is that at least a month should pass between readings. This is for even the most eager of clients, because I truly want the cards to change for them upon their next reading, showing the growth and progress they have made since their initial reading.

For us, the magic of the tarot is less about fortune-telling and more about stories. Our practice is entirely secular: we don't offer readings that have any kind of psychic element to them. We don't believe that the tarot can tell you exactly what to do - and more importantly, we think this is a good thing.

You can ask WHEN things will happen

Wands indicate days or spring, Swords indicate weeks or autumn, Cups indicate months or summer, and Pentacles indicate years or winter.

"Tarot is incredibly welcoming for a novice. If I could learn it, really anybody can," she says. "It's just about becoming comfortable with the imagery, learning them by heart and understanding how the cards talk to each other so that when you pull a series of cards, you understand how they flow into a type of story."

Is it possible to do Tarot spreads on yourself, even if you're a beginner? Yes! It absolutely is. Tarot is a modality that helps us gain greater insight into our current situations, honor our intuition and forecast potential outcomes.

If you're new to tarot cards, reading can be difficult only because you're likely starting at the very beginning of your knowledge. If you've begun exploring tarot cards yourself or had tarot cards read for you, you've probably already gained a general understanding of card meanings.

Once you're in the right mindset, shuffle your Tarot cards while focusing on your intention or the question you have in mind. You may ask a specific question or simply seek guidance on a general area of your life. Trust your intuition and choose the cards that resonate with you.
