Do Tarot Cards Really Work?
As a professional Tarot reader, I'm often asked, "do Tarot readings really work? Are they helpful?"
To put it simply: it depends. To get the most out of Tarot readings, it's important to understand that the cards are a tool, a compass, giving you feedback about your life as it unfolds in real-time.
You'll benefit the most from the Tarot card reading if you're proactive and ready to invite positive outcomes into your life. We all have very little control over anything in life, except how we choose to channel our energy, to seize the opportunities around us and make a change in this world for the better.
Tarot cards gauge and clarify how your intentions, motives, and choices shift your life's direction. That means you can navigate your life towards positivity and prosperity in the realm of love, money, and miracles.
The pictorial language of Tarot cards is the fundamental catalyst which encourages us to understand matters that our conscious minds aren’t able to comprehend.
The measures of a good reading include: Did you get new insights about your life? Did the reading inspire you to look at yourself more kindly and lovingly? Do you have a clearer idea of what actions to take?
Your cards reflect you, and it takes wisdom, knowledge, and experience to understand and realize the deeper truths within each card.
In my thirty-plus years reading the Tarot, I've also learned that the knowledge of these cards is useless unless it's applied. The Tarot is designed to be lived!
The Sun – Major Arcana, the 19th Card
Fulfilled love relationship, highly creative energy, wisdom, and transformation. The Sun radiates at the center of the card, in the middle of 12 astrological signs, and bathes everything in its light.
Angeles Arrien calls this card the principle of teamwork and partnership and that it depicts the unlimited energy within us waiting to be expressed. Your child-like curiosity wants to be a part of your personal and professional life and represents fully being who you are dynamically and creatively.
Visualize the light and warmth of the Litha/the Summer Solstice in your heart. Remind yourself that the Sun is shining in and through you.
