Tarot Card Meanings and How Tarot Card Work?

Tarot Card: A few years ago in a course of one serendipitous evening, I chanced upon Tarot reading. It was something new and intriguing so it got me curious. Driven by the intrigue, I started studying about it in depth and over the years, developed a fair understanding.

I’ve done a tarot reading for a lot of individuals and in the process, I have come across some very unusual queries, like college going girl who once asked me, Ma’am, where will I find my Mr Right?

Tarot reading is similar to monthly weather reports (predictions), which are based on the way things are going now. Every card you pull and every piece of advice you get in a tarot reading is subject to change, and ultimately, that change is up to you and your actions which can be definitely designed as per the predictions of the symbolic signals conveyed in the readings.

In a way, Tarot isn’t defined as a prediction of the future, but an indication of where you stand now, and where your own inner voice and actions are leading you.

In my view, our Karmic cycle of this life can be appropriately framed with some enlightenment, awareness, acceptance, and design actions with subtle guidance taken by the Tarot readings.
