Reading Tarot is rewarding yet challenging at the same time. Self-bias colors what we see so insights may be skewed. Here are ways you can read Tarot objectively and have more guidance coming your way.
1. Set a Clear Intention
Before you begin reading, set an intention or pose a specific question. This will reduce confusion and enable your mind to be more attentive. Write down your intention so that it can be placed in your mind for easy focus during the reading.
2. Set up a
Find a quiet, comfortable space that’s distraction-free.Bring in things that calm your mind, such as crystals or candles. A specific area will get you to a more receptive place and lower the impact of external influences on your reading.
3. Use a
Instead of free-form readings, use a laid-out Tarot spread, such as a three-card spread that symbolizes the past, present, and future and clearly outlines the structure. Something like that requires you to place each card within its relationship to the others and can lead to a more solidified understanding of the message being conveyed.
4. Journal Your Readings
Record your readings with a Tarot journal so you can note down your interpretations. Writing down your interpretations helps externalize your thoughts, thus making it easier to spot patterns and biases over time. Review your past readings and compare them with current circumstances for a better understanding.
5. Seek Outside Perspective
Every now and then, show what you have read to a trusted friend or another Tarot enthusiast. Sometimes, the way in which another person focuses your attention can bring aspects into your mind which you would not have unwittingly attended to otherwise. Or, in case of more serious situations, you can seek the opinion of a professional reader.
It is through these strategies that you would be able to cultivate a more objective approach towards Tarot readings for clearer insights and personal development. Cherish the journey and let the cards guide you without the haze of bias.
