Which Tarot Cards Mean Fear?
The Tarot Cards of Fear Which tarot cards mean fear can vary from reader to reader as you might or might not expect. If that surprises you then you must remember that no card meaning is sacrosanct, and many readers will have meanings that are personal to them. Some cards are more likely than others to be common to most readers though, and it is those that are covered here. Fear, unfortunately, is something that will cross the path of most people at some time during their life. It’s not pleasant and it can be hard to deal with, but it’s there and usually there is no option but to…

Cleansing Tarot Cards
How to Cleanse Tarot Cards Cleansing your tarot cards and how to do so will often come down to your own personal belief system. As long as the cleansing works all is well. Why it is necessary may also hinge around what you believe. Personally, if I encounter any of the instances covered in this previous article, cleansing is a must. There are many ways you can accomplish this and personally I don’t believe that there is any single right way to do it, or for that matter, any wrong way. If you have no strong personal preference, then simply try the various methods listed below and see if any…

More on Single Card Pulls and When They Are Useful
Single Card Pulls Redux I have had a few people contact me in response to an earlier article I wrote on one card pulls. They were concerned that they would be doing it the “wrong” way if they continued to use single card pulls as often as they did. Now I am a firm believer in one size does not fit all. It rarely does. Just because I tend to use a Celtic Cross rather than a single card does not mean that you must. My article was mostly aimed at making a reader think about what was being asked of a single card. Particularly an inexperienced one. Was the question appropriate for…

Choosing a Love Reading
Choosing a Love Reading – For Those of You Who Want to Know the Possibilities! Choosing a love reading to see if there is real potential between the two of you is not quite as straightforward as you might think even though there are several tarot spreads out there that could answer the question. So… which love reading do you choose? For the purposes of this article I am going to consider the following two dedicated love and relationship tarot spreads: Is He/She the One? Magical Love Personally I am not a huge fan of “Magical Love” as a spread even though at first glance it might seem to be a…

Interpreting Tarot Time Frames
Tarot Time Frames The interpretation of tarot time frames is not a straightforward matter! Whether you are pulling a card to answer a question or whether you are looking at a specific card within a specific spread it is a difficult discipline to master. It does get easier with experience because your intuition starts to kick in and point you in the right direction, but for someone starting out it can be a very difficult proposition. Being realistic we can ignore seconds, minutes, and hours but even so that still leaves us with days, weeks, months, and years. Without intuition to help you then as a beginner it is hard to know…

One Card Pulls
Should you or shouldn’t you use one card pulls to do a reading? The answer is far from being black and white particularly for beginners. Most people when starting off reading tarot cards will find a spread that suits the question or situation they have and then they will pull the cards required to use it. The trouble is that even with multiple definitions (such as the ones we have at Tarot Time) it is very difficult for learners to turn those definitions into a useful and meaningful interpretation. As a result many will resort to using a single card instead. If that sounds like you then that is when…

Tarot Timing and Timescales for Tarot Spreads
Tarot timing was touched on briefly in my “Clarity of Purpose” article, but I thought it might be a good idea to expand on that particular aspect a little in a separate article. Some Spreads Have Timing Built In A few tarot spreads (such as the “12 Month” and “Letting Go“) have built-in timing and so it is not an issue. Some address the timing interrogatively (such as the “Will I Find True Love?“) and “when” is asked as part of the spread. Most Spreads Do Not So Learn to Set Your Timing as Part of the Question The majority of spreads though, do not have a time factor built…

Protecting Tarot Cards
Protecting tarot cards is not for everyone and there are some readers out there who do not take any special precautions. If that works for you then so be it. It’s not for me to tell you that you’re wrong but I would like to try and get you to reconsider. If you are one of those readers, you might want to try protecting your tarot deck and see if the accuracy of your readings improves! I have known several professional readers who tried using a box or a bag and they found their readings became more accurate. It might not change anything for you but for the sake of a…

Cleansing A Tarot Deck – When and Why
Cleansing a tarot deck and when and why to do so are often asked questions. How to do so is covered in a different article which can be found here. I will deal here with the “when” first and the truth is there’s not really any set time after which it is advisable to clear and cleanse a set of Tarot cards. The timing will vary as so much will depend on what you have been doing with them reading-wise or what has happened to them. Very often intuition will start to niggle at you that it is “time.” One thing to bear in mind is that if you have not…

Clarity of Purpose When Asking a Question of the Tarot
Clarity of purpose when consulting the Tarot is really important, perhaps critically important. If you are new to tarot reading though, you might not understand why. Professional tarot readers will be well aware of the pitfalls of not asking a question clearly. Most experienced amateurs will also have a good idea why. Beginners who simply read for themselves or family and friends may not see the pitfalls. They are not instantly obvious. Some Examples of Badly Phrased Tarot Questions Let’s consider an often-asked question: “Will I find true love? On the face of it, it seems simple and straightforward. Some spreads such as the “Will I Find True Love?” spread…
