A modern take on Tarot sees it more as a tool for creative thinking
than one for predicting an outcome.
During a reading, Intuitive Tarot encourages the participation of the querent bringing
about a more personal interactive
approach. The images on the cards act as a mirror,
prompting ideas and thoughts to surface.
This is called "intuition", tuition from within.
When the inner voice is validated, confusion becomes clarity.
All it needs is your attention.
It's about exploring past experience, present day dynamics,
relationships and challenges with greater
understanding. Tarot does not forecast what will happen,
it highlights what could happen based on your
past and current path. This
gives you the power to change direction if necessary.
Intuitive Tarot can be used as a tool for journaling,
creative brain storming and story telling. It is alledged
J K Rowling used the 22 Major Arcana cards, known as
"The fools journey" for inspiration while
developing the characters in her Harry Potter series.
The most important part of consulting the Tarot is asking the right question. Open ended questions receive open ended answers leaving you going around in circles.
My experience of working with the Tarot is that
it will share the wisdom you need at the time of the reading.
Sometimes, the answer to your question is not it's first priority.
Below is a sample of a simple 3 card spread.
The question is:
What wisdom does Tarot wish to share with NAME . . . .
should they proceed with the business of opening a coffee shop?
Card 1 Card 2 Card 3
Card 1 in the PAST position is the Queen of Cups.
In relation to the question, this card suggests
someone who is patiently waiting for an opportunity to arise.
In this case, opening a coffee shop. Queens in Tarot
usually represent the quality of patience. The Queen of Cups
is a patient, calm, compassionate and level headed Queen.
In a reading, she would probably represent the seekers character.
Card 2 in the PRESENT position is the Ace of Wands.
Aces represent new beginnings! The Ace of Wands
is suggesting a new beginning surrounded by much
excitement and enthusiasm.
Card 3 in the FUTURE position is the Eight of Pentacles.
Pentacles represent material and financial matters. The beautifully
handcrafted eight pentacles seen on this card suggest
hard work and
dedication will be
rewarded with financial success.
A brief summary:
The querent has been thinking about opening a coffee shop
for quite some time, waiting patiently for the right venue.
Finally the venue that was hoped for has become available and the querent is very excited about this opportunity.
If the querent is prepared to put in the hard work and
long hours needed, the coffee shop will do well
and be financially rewarding.
