Step One: Sit upright on an ordinary chair, with spine straight, feet flat on the floor, and shoes off. Place your hands on your legs, palms down. Step Two: Take deep breaths.

Tarot Tip 30: Be aware of the astrological correspondences of tarot cards. They can tell you when something will happen or who is being referred to in a reading.

Tarot Tip 15: The predictions of a tarot reading are not set in stone. Every decision you make each day affects your life. It’s better to ask questions about how your actions will affect a situation than what the outcome of a situation will be. Instead of “will I get the job?” or “does she like me?” ask “how do I make a good impression in this interview?” or “what do I need to do to attract the best possible match?” Tarot Tip 16: A 3 card reading can be just as versatile as a

Tarot Tip 1: The Major Arcana tells you which universal force is surrounding you. The Minor Arcana tells you what you can do about it. Tarot Tip 2: There are two different types of tarot readings, both are equally valid. For an objective reading, seek out a reader you’ve never met before and avoid wearing any conspicuous clothing/jewelry.  Answer the bare minimum of questions.
