What Are Psychic And Tarot Card Readings?

By Agnes Dickson


Many people have never experienced a tarot reading. Those individuals who are facing their first reading may be wondering what to expect during this period. The experience you may have is very dependent on the methods and personality of the psychic you intend consulting.

The psychic you visit will start preparing for your reading before you arrive. During this period, he or she may meditate or burn incense to try and clear their mind and get rid of any negative energy surrounding them. The psychic will normally start their psychic and tarot card readings by inviting you into their personal space. They will try to make you feel comfortable and relaxed.

You may have to answer some questions before the reading commences. The medium will ask you what you hope to achieve from the reading. It may also include the reader providing you with background information about the cards. You may be informed about the reading style and code of ethics of the reader.

The reader may make use of multiple decks and you may be asked to choose a specific deck for your reading. Individuals who are familiar with tarot cards may be asked if they want a specific layout to be used. You will then be asked if you have specific questions that you wish to have answered and focus placed on. The psychic may ask you to rephrase your question if it is an ambiguous one. They prefer that you pose a specific question.

The deck of cards will be shuffled by the medium. You will be asked to cut the deck. This should be done with your non-dominant hand. The deck will be dealt from the point that you cut it. The cards will be placed into a spread that may have been agreed upon.

The medium normally commences the reading in the order the cards have been placed. He or she will provide you with possible interpretations of each card. You will be invited to slot the interpretation into your life where it may hold relevance.

The reader will discuss the cards with you in an attempt to refine the interpretations. There will be constant discussions to try and explore the situation you are currently in, your possible actions in the future and alternative actions. As more cards are read, the reader will attempt to link previous cards to current ones, based on the tarot patterns.

The constant interaction between the two of you allows you both to recognize particular patterns and themes in the cards. You may be offered situations that could occur in the future and methods in which you can influence the results of the card reading to obtain the outcome you are seeking.

Upon completion of the reading, you will be asked if you have more questions or if you require clarity on any part of the reading. If you have and the reader feels it is necessary, a new deck may be used for another layout. If you are satisfied with your reading, the session will end by the gathering of the cards.
