How to Read Your Own Tarot Cards
You don’t need to be an expert to start reading tarot. An online tarot card reading is a simple yet powerful tool for introspection. Like dream interpretation, tarot taps into unconscious thoughts through imagery and intuition. The process is straightforward: you ask a question, choose a spread, and interpret the cards based on the pictures, positions, and your gut reactions.
Card meanings aren’t something you need to memorise from day one. What matters is staying open to the message, whether it’s comforting, challenging, or surprising. If the artwork confuses you, the written description often points you in the right direction. With practise, reading tarot becomes second nature, and your connection to the deck deepens.
There are thousands of tarot decks out there, but most readers prefer working closely with just a few. Many start with the Rider Waite Smith (RWS) deck, a modernised version that uses straightforward scenes instead of complex occult symbols. Most contemporary decks are based on this structure, making it easier to learn without diving into arcane traditions. A good starting point is to use the Major Arcana only, then expand to the full 78-card deck as you build confidence.
