LETS TALK TAROT

Tarot cards have been used for centuries as a tool for divination and self-reflection. While many people rely on tarot card guidebooks to interpret their readings, there is a growing movement of tarot readers who advocate for trusting your intuition over relying solely on external resources. In this blog post, we'll explore why you should throw out the tarot card guidebook and use your intuition instead.

In addition to hindering your own intuition, relying too heavily on tarot guidebooks can also erode your client's confidence in your abilities as a reader. When a client sees you constantly referring to a guidebook, they may begin to question your expertise and feel like they could just read the guidebook themselves instead of seeking out a professional reader. This can create a sense of disconnection and distrust between you and the client, which can ultimately hinder the effectiveness of the reading. By trusting your intuition and letting the cards speak to you without relying on a guidebook, you can not only improve your own skills as a reader but also strengthen the bond of trust between you and your clients. Let's get into the many reasons as to why you should ditch the book.

1. Your intuition is unique to you

One of the primary reasons to trust your intuition when reading tarot cards is that it is unique to you. Every person has their own intuition and inner wisdom that they can tap into to gain insight and guidance. When you rely solely on a guidebook, you are limiting yourself to someone else's interpretation of the cards. By trusting your intuition, you can tap into your own inner wisdom and connect with the cards in a more meaningful way. You will see more clearly and deliver better messages to your clients.

2. 
   Guidebooks can be limiting

Tarot card guidebooks can be helpful when you're first learning to read the cards, but they can also be limiting. Many guidebooks provide a narrow interpretation of each card, leaving little room for personal interpretation or nuance. When you rely too heavily on a guidebook, you may miss out on the full depth and complexity of the cards.

3. Intuition allows for a more personal reading

When you trust your intuition, you can tailor your tarot card readings to your specific needs and questions. You can use your own personal symbolism and associations to interpret the cards, making the reading more personal and meaningful to you. This approach allows for a more nuanced and personalized reading than relying on a generic guidebook interpretation.

4. 
   Intuition can reveal deeper insights

Trusting your intuition can lead to deeper insights and revelations than relying solely on a guidebook. Intuition often reveals connections and patterns that may not be immediately obvious in a guidebook interpretation. By allowing yourself to tap into your inner wisdom, you can gain a deeper understanding of yourself and the situations you are seeking guidance on.

5. 
   Tarot card readings are not set in stone

One of the misconceptions about tarot card readings is that they provide a fixed, predetermined outcome. In reality, tarot card readings are more like a snapshot of the current energy surrounding a situation. By trusting your intuition, you can use the cards as a starting point for exploration and growth, rather than relying on a fixed interpretation.

In conclusion, while tarot card guidebooks can be a helpful resource when learning to read the cards, relying solely on them can limit your reading and interpretation. By trusting your intuition, you can tap into your own inner wisdom and connect with the cards in a more meaningful way. Trusting your intuition allows for a more personal and nuanced reading, and can lead to deeper insights and growth.
