Tarot And The Future
The Tarot is a wonderful resource for gauging which direction we are heading in life. However, too often people seeking information will misunderstand the system. They want to know the future, but the Tarot does not create the future. The Tarot is a metaphysical tool and does not negate metaphysical laws. We can certainly see which direction we are headed in our lives, based on the insights the Tarot can provide. However, it is important to pay attention to the whole message that is coming through.
Rushing to the end of a Tarot reading is unwise, since there are often elements of change that are integral to the outcomes. I often explain it like this: the Tarot works in much the same way as a Global Positioning System (GPS). The end point will represent the coordinates that we either desire, or are currently headed toward. The other cards represent the path to get there. At times, the Tarot will provide directives that help us along the way. Just like with a GPS, we cannot expect to get to the right location if we are unwilling to follow the instructions necessary to get us to the right place.
Tarot Cards – The Minor Arcana
It is said a picture is worth a thousand words. Images can convey meaning much more succinctly than words, and this is certainly true for me when I pull Minor Arcana cards in a Tarot reading.
The Minor Arcana are vividly descriptive cards which run the gamut of all human actions, feelings, thoughts, as well as the victories and losses we face every day in our lives. They typically represent short-term influences of the past, present and future.
A good reader, however, does not interpret Tarot cards only at face value. The imagery also triggers her intuition and clairvoyance to add details and answers to her querent’s question. The Astrological and Numerological aspects of the cards also show concrete detail. These cards can guide you and advise you through even the most difficult situations.
Oracle Cards As A Divination Tool
Oracle cards are quite different from Tarot cards. They are easier and not as complex to read as the traditional Tarot, and there are a plethora of different oracle card decks available. Personally I own over 20 decks and I realize I have barely skimmed the surface of all of the versions available. To get started there are many reputable lists and rankings available online.
Oracle card creators represent different philosophies, traditions and belief systems, and therefore each deck is unique. Oracle card decks typically contain about 56 cards, or less. Each card has its own meaning. Oracle cards are typically prophetic and can be used for many different purposes.
I like to pull an oracle card every morning, just to give me an idea of the kind of day I will have. The nice thing about them is they do not need to be put in a specific spread the way one typically does when working with the Tarot. You can pull as many as you feel is best for you.

Tarot Cards And Toxic Relationships
If intuition is the foundation for being a psychic, then divination tools are like putting on glasses to see the details. Tarot cards can reveal a person’s real intentions and provide a bigger picture into any situation that requires clarity.
When I use the Tarot for a love or relationship reading, I look for specific cards or combinations that show harmony or growth within the relationship or person. Here is a list of cards that typically catch my eye as major red flags, or signal that the connection between two people may be toxic.
The Magician
This card can be positive when surrounded by complimentary cards, but it can indicate that the person you’re interested may be charming… but manipulative. I often see this show up when someone only wants to do what they want, or when they want to be with multiple people. Continue reading
Tarot Court Cards And The People In Your Life
A psychic might use the Tarot as a tool to ‘fine tune’ into the direction of the energies she sees around you and your question. The court cards in Tarot typically represent the people and personality energies in your reading.
The querent may for example ask the psychic about a certain love interest, or a situation at work. The way I read is that I tune into the question and see a certain person, or people, but then I may also do a Tarot spread to gain more details about them.
If many of the cards in the reading are court cards, it generally means that your question is much more complicated by the energies and presence of other people. For example, if you are interested in a certain new man, I would tune into the guy clairvoyantly and maybe see a man who is very interested in you. This may seem like great news on the surface, but sensing other energies, I might then lay out a love Tarot spread… and lo and behold, there might be two Queens, a Knight, and several Pages influencing the situation!
The Tarot As A Psychic Tool
There are basically to forms of psychic reading. Some readings are readings are done with the use of ‘tools,’ while others are done without. Psychics all have different abilities, for example some are clairvoyant, while others are clairaudient. Each psychic uses their own intuitive gifts to bring us messages from their guides and ours. I will further discuss these psychic abilities in a future blog.
Reading with tools is known as divination. The list of popular psychic tools is extensive. Tarot cards are probably the most well-known and widely used psychic tool. The Tarot has been around since the 18th century and is used for the purpose of divination, psychic prediction and contacting spirit guides. I use Tarot in my readings, as they guide me, almost like a road map. There are many classes and books available to learn more about Tarot and how to do cartomancy readings.
Tarot And Astrology
Tarot card symbolism is rich with many layers of meaning. The card images are designed to awaken a reader’s intuition and psychic abilities. If used correctly, they can predict events and offer guidance in our spiritual and manifest worlds. Each card depicts situations we all have or will encounter in our lives at one time or another. But understanding the general meanings of each card is only one layer of understanding.
One of the most significant deeper layers of Tarot interpretation is the astrological meanings inherent in each card. Astrology helps us to understand many different things about a person’s psychological makeup and personality, as well as events and timing. Combined with the Tarot it becomes a powerful divination tool.
