How to Use Tarot as a Tool for Personal Growth

How to Use Tarot as a Tool for Personal Growth

Have you ever felt like you have an inner voice, but you just can't seem to tap into it? Or maybe you're stuck in a rut and need some insight into the life decisions you're facing.

Tarot can be an invaluable tool for personal growth and development. Tarot is an ancient form of divination that can provide a powerful tool for self-reflection and unlocking your inner wisdom. 

With the help of tarot cards, you can explore the depths of your subconscious and gain insight into the choices and paths that await you. By understanding the meaning of tarot cards and their symbolism, you can gain clarity and insight into the more subtle aspects of life. Through the guidance of the tarot, you can unlock the power of your intuition and gain guidance in making decisions that will bring you closer to your goals.

Understanding the Meaning of Tarot Cards

Tarot cards are used for divination. The cards are arranged in sets of 78 that are divided into the Major Arcana and Minor Arcana. Together, the Major Arcana and Minor Arcana represent various themes and symbolize the deeper truths that lie behind the more superficial aspects of life. Tarot cards are read using a system of symbolic meanings, with each card having its own specific meaning. The images on the cards represent concepts and themes that relate to the reader’s situation and circumstances. 

The images are not meant to be literal — for example, a man with a sword does not actually symbolize a person who is aggressive or violent. Rather, the sword image represents a particular theme that relates to a person’s relationship with aggression or violence. The images on the cards also do not tell the reader what they should do. Rather, the images are symbols that represent the reader’s deeper truths and subconscious patterns. The symbols on the cards help the reader to better understand themselves and their past experiences. They also help the reader to understand what lies ahead in the future.

Developing an Intuitive Relationship With Tarot

As you work with tarot cards and explore their symbolic meaning, you can tap into your intuitive gifts and cultivate a more intuitive relationship with tarot. As you work with tarot, you can develop a more intuitive relationship with the cards by paying attention to your inner guidance. Pay attention to the small nudges you receive and the subtle signs that indicate certain decisions and paths are worth exploring. You can also use your mind’s eye to visualize certain paths and outcomes. The longer you work with your cards, the more in tune you will feel. Many people often feel certain cards ‘call’ to them while they’re shuffling their deck before they even know what the card is. 

Learning Tarot Card Spreads

Tarot spreads are specific layouts that show the reader the significance of each card in the reading. Tarot spreads tell the reader what the cards mean in terms of themes and ideas and are best used when you have questions to ask the tarot. Without a reading, each card is just a single symbol that represents nothing more than a number or image. By using a tarot spread, however, the reader can start to see each card as a symbol that represents a certain theme. 

Tarot spreads can be used regardless of the tarot deck being used. In fact, many tarot readers use the standard tarot deck with no alterations. Spreads can vary depending on what kind of question you want to ask and how in-depth you want the answer to be, but the most simple one to start out with is the three-card spread. In this spread, you pick three cards out of your deck and lay them side by side. The card to the left signifies your past, the middle your present, and on the right your future. 

Reading Tarot for Yourself

Reading tarot cards for yourself is a powerful and transformative experience. Through the use of a reading journal, you can explore the cards for yourself and take notes on the insights you receive. The more that you do readings, the more you will begin to understand the meanings behind each card and how they play off of each other. Even though each card has a standard meaning, many people tend to branch off from those and apply more specific meanings. Journaling how you feel about different cards can help you to better understand how you depict and feel about certain themes in your life. 

Tips for Using Tarot as a Tool for Personal Growth

When reading tarot cards for yourself, follow these tips to reap the most benefit from your reading: 

  • Make sure you are in a quiet, relaxing space. If possible, try to find a comfortable spot where you can be alone with your thoughts. 
  • Sit comfortably in a cross-legged position with your hands resting comfortably on your lap. 
  • Turn off all electronic devices and try to shut out any other sounds in order to focus exclusively on the tarot cards. 
  • Try to pay attention to your breathing. Also, try to remain as relaxed as possible so that you are not rushing the reading. 
  • Try to remain as open and receptive as possible during the reading. This means that you should try not to judge the cards or think of them as being good or bad. Instead, try to avoid thinking too much about the cards and simply try to let the tarot cards speak to you.

Using Tarot for Guidance

When using tarot cards, you should try to think of them as a guide. If you try to judge the cards or see them as good or bad, or yes or no, they will be much less effective as a guide. Instead, try to simply let the cards speak to you. If you try to think too hard about the cards, they will quickly become obvious and you will be tempted to judge them. Let the tarot cards guide you into the subconscious patterns that lie beneath your current situation and into the next steps you need to take in order to move closer to your goals. Oftentimes, people find the answer to what they’re looking for by simply listening to their gut feeling that arises as soon as the cards reveal themselves. 

Conclusion

Tarot can be a fantastic tool for personal growth if used correctly. All in all, tarot is meant to help you look inward and discover how you truly feel rather than give you a direct answer to a problem. Thinking clearly, understanding the meanings of the cards, and keeping your intuition in mind are all you need to start gaining insight through tarot.

  • What Is Tarot Astrology? Open or Close
    tarot_astrology

    Tarot astrology is the system through which a reading of the cards in a tarot deck help you through troubled times by offering a reflection on your past, present and future. Tarot is closely associated with astrology as each card relates to a planet, element, or astrological sign.

    Tarot cards are used for divination, often known as fortune telling. But, many psychologists have used them as well, feeling that the cards often make patients delve in to how they feel about themselves. This is done through the subconscious. For example, let’s say you know work is not going well, but you do not allow yourself to think about it. Getting a tarot card reading that shows you need to change occupations is not really telling your future so much as it is making you face what is really going on in your life.

  • The Tarot Open or Close
    The Tarot

    The Tarot (pronounced tair-row) is a combination of teachings that reflect the aspects of life, a symbolic "book of life" in the form of pictures that can be read or meditated on from "cover to cover". It can also be opened randomly for insights to issues. As a source of information, it is actually a channel by which pictures bring the situation to light and explain what caused it to occur. Those same pictures depict how the situation is being played out as well as the predicted outcome when placed in "spreads" of various patterns. That outcome will be in accordance to the choices that have currently been made by the client as well as outside influences which they have little or no control over. The Querrent (person asking the question), needs to be informed of this so they understand that they have free will and can apply it if they so choose. The Tarot is informative, enlightening, and it's accurate.

    The Tarot: An Intuitive Health Tool

    When I began reading the Tarot Decks back in 1973, I used the traditional readings. Later on, I studied Carl Jung and his analysis of using Tarot for the study of emotional and mental problems. The many students in my area were using the Major Arcana of Tarot Cards to do the analysis. After many years, I have finally discovered a mannerism to use the entire Tarot Deck for the ‘Healing Intuitive Reading’. In this reading, we examine five planes of health in a being. The heart and blood, the liver, pancreas, adrenals and kidneys, thymus, immune system and finally, the brain, are examined.
