How to Know Which Tarot Card Meaning Applies to Your Situation

My favorite tarot tip to develop your intuition as a new reader

Image by author

In this post, I am assuming two things: You are new to tarot and you are new to divination as a whole. This means that tarot is probably your first time dabbling in anything that requires you to flex your intuition like a muscle. If neither of these are true, then this exercise may be too introductory for you.

You may have experienced déjà vu and other funny coincidences here and there, but you have not developed your intuition the way an athlete develops their skill through consistent practice and conditioning.

How Do You Receive Messages

One tarot card may have several meanings. Take the Ten of Swords for example:

Ten of Swords, image by Gem Blackthorn

The Ten of Swords can mean several things, including back pain, chronic fatigue, slander, or a painful ending. That’s a pretty wide range and getting it wrong can have consequences. (Incorrectly telling a client that they’re going to experience slander in the future will probably make their back pain worse, won’t it?)
