Hey everyone! I'm pretty new to tarot reading and would love some tips or suggestions to help me understand my cards and readings better.
I often do readings about tough situations I’m facing, and I feel like my hopes or desired outcomes might influence how I interpret the cards. Any advice on how to keep my hopes separate from the actual messages of the cards?
Also, how do you interpret readings about situations you don’t know much about? How can you tell if the cards resonate when you don't have much information to go on?
Experienced readers seem to read their cards so fluently. I sometimes struggle to connect two or more cards to form an overall message. I’m still learning the basic meanings, so I usually look up individual card meanings, but it makes my readings feel choppy. Any tips on how to blend the meanings of multiple cards into one coherent message?
I once asked a more experienced reader for their take on a reading I did, and their interpretation was totally different from mine. It made me feel like I was missing something. Any help to better understand the cards would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
Edit: One more question. How can you differentiate between cards with similar energies or meanings without looking up their basic definitions?
For example, the High Priestess, Ace of Cups, the Magician, and The Moon all relate to intuition. What do these cards individually represent beyond their shared theme? Do you need to know the other meanings of these cards for a more specific understanding, or is it fair to say, "This message has to do with intuition"? I often assume they mean the same thing when I pull one. What has helped you differentiate these cards from one another?
