Tarot cards can be a powerful tool for self-reflection and personal growth. Learn how to use tarot cards to gain insights into your thoughts, feelings, and motivations, and to identify areas where you can grow and develop. 

Ever since I can remember I have been a fan of tarot cards, however I was raised in an religious environment where I was told I was going to hell for pretty much everything, that I have found in my later years of life to be instrumental in my creative process. Tarot cards are often used for divination, but they can also be a tool for self-reflection and personal growth.  

When you explore the symbolism and archetypes of the tarot cards, you can gain insights into your thoughts, feelings, and motivations. You can also identify areas where you can improve. 

Choosing A Deck 

Choose a deck that you feel drawn to. There are many different tarot decks available, so take some time to browse through different ones and find one that you feel connected to. 

The images on the cards should resonate with you, and the deck should feel good in your hands.

 Once you have chosen a deck, you can start by doing a simple spread. There are many different spreads available, but a good place to start is with a three-card spread. This spread can help you to gain insights into your past, present, and future.

When you are doing a tarot reading for yourself, it is important to take your time and to listen to your intuition. Don’t be afraid to take breaks or to come back to the reading later. The most important thing is to be open to the messages that the cards are trying to give you.

It can be a good idea to journal about your tarot readings. This can help you to process the messages that the cards are giving you and to track your progress over time.

Self Reflections with the Tarot 

The tarot cards can help you to identify your strengths and weaknesses. For example, if you draw the Strength card, it could be a sign that you are strong and courageous.  If you draw the Fool card, it could be a sign that you are impulsive and need to be more mindful..

The tarot cards can also help you to gain insights into your relationships.  For example, if you draw the Lovers card, it could be a sign that your relationship is strong and harmonious. If you draw the Tower card, it could be a sign that your relationship is going through a difficult time. No matter how you choose to use tarot cards for self-reflection and personal growth, they can be a valuable tool for understanding yourself better and for making positive changes in your life.

I enjoy doing tarot card readings for my family and friends.  At the moment I do not offer readings to the general public.
