What can a tarot card reading tell me?

There comes a time in everyone’s life when they feel like they need some direction or guidance. People believe that there are things in the world that can lead you in the right direction, or even tell the future of a person. Getting a tarot card reading can tell you some things, but there is a myth that the reading can reveal the future, but is not the case unfortunately. Tarot card readings are based on events that have already happened and your current life situation at the time of the reading. They can be very enlightening and motivating. The fact is that your future is not set in stone and with so many variables affecting the outcome, it would be impossible for any one thing to predict the events that are coming up in your life.

With that being said, what exactly can a tarot card reading tell you? The cards are typically going to offer you certain potential happenings and possibilities for your future should you decide to follow the path they have for you. The main thing to remember is to get rid of the negative energy that is in your life and keep motivated on the goal that is to change the way your life is currently going. During a reading, it might seem very exciting to see they have hit the nail on the head, so to speak, but that is not the cards telling the future or the present. It is still up to you to make the right decisions for tomorrow and beyond. Because all tarot cards have different meanings, what comes out of a reading can differ from one to the next. Face cards have the most meaning with names like Death, The Fool, The High Priestess, The Lovers and The Magician.

When these cards are played they can signal different things for the person that is giving the reading. Death can mean the end of something, transition or even elimination. The Fool marks the beginning, having faith, or apparent folly. The High Priestess signals non-action, awareness, potential and mystery. The Lovers can mean sexuality, relationships, personal beliefs or values. The Magician can mean action, conscious awareness and power. With all of the cards having that many different meanings, you can clearly see how each one might play right into your story and give you a sense of hope. A tarot card reading is going to reveal a few things about you that you might have already known, but were not sure about. A reading may paint a picture in your mind or connect the dots of a certain situation.

Many people will go into a tarot card reading with the idea that they will have answers to questions like “Who is my true love?” or “Will I get a new job soon?”, but the reality is that you will not find the answers, only a path that will lead you there. You should remember that in order to get the best reading available to you, stick with one type of question and be as specific as possible. The “devil is in the details” and that just means that they are important, especially in a tarot card reading. Try not to just ask questions like the ones listed above, instead ask with more details like “My boyfriend and I have been arguing a lot lately, is there an end in sight”? That question will garner a much better response.

Tarot card readings are good for some people, but will not help everyone. Keep in mind that you are the one that is going to be changing once the reading is over. If you are happy with the picture that was just painted by the reading, you are still going to have to work to produce the outcome. If you can stay positive and motivated, the changes should come easy and getting to the goal should not be that difficult for you. Tarot card readings can tell you many things, but you are the main subject in the reading so be prepared to make changes for the better.
