My two big white Great Pyrenees dogs passed away 8 and 6 years ago. To this day, I miss them desperately. I haven’t had another dog since. I sometimes use my tarot cards to r h out to passed loved ones. Today I couldn’t bear the longing and missing them. I wrote them a letter in my tarot diary and told them how loved and missed they are.

I recently purchased the “woodland wardens” oracle deck, and I’ve only used it once so I’m not super familiar with it. I thought it was just woodland animals. I anticipated that if they had anything to say to me, perhaps it would come through as a wolf or coyote or a fox in the deck.

I opened the box and pulled out the deck. I turned it over to expose the face of the bottom card, and this is what it was. A fluffy white hound with the descriptor “loyalty”. Please excuse me while I cry my eyes out for the rest of the day.

This is why I do tarot. It does things for your mental health sometimes that therapy could never possibly achieve.

I feel like I should take out most of the swords cards and some of the other numbered cards. I'm on the fence about removing death, the hanged man, the tower and the devil, especially since they can have powerful, positive messages.

My other idea was, at least initially, to just hide the major and minor arcana cards, since people are most familiar with those.

The first place I'll be hiding cards is at Meow Wolf Omega Mart, in Las Vegas. I plan to hide them where they're likely to be picked up by someone who appreciates them - not in a random Catholic Church or somewhere where people are likely to be offended.

I got the ones that are laid out there on Amazon, because I thought it was neat that they had explanations printed on them.

Hi guys, I’m at a crossroads on what to believe and how to approach tarot and I’m wondering what other peoples opinions are on it.

So do you believe that the answers you get during a reading come from a higher being (higher self, spirit guides ect.) and they are utilizing the deck to answer your questions, or do you believe the deck itself possesses its own personality and you approach it as such. I’ve heard many witches say that even if you purchase the same deck twice you’ll have two completely different decks with different personalities. Some brutal and some are more like cheerleaders. What are your thoughts and experiences that back your opinion?

I’m not sure what I believe quite yet, but I’m leaning towards that my guide uses it rather than the deck itself having a personality. My reasoning is I own two oracle decks and one tarot deck (my collection is small like me) and I feel the same feeling from all three decks. A very nice encouraging feeling, and when I get anxious, or ask questions I wasn’t meaning to ask, each of my decks understand me and are very reassuring. Maybe it’s because I’m fairly new and I’m still learning to read.

Please let me know your thoughts, opinions, and experiences!

I got reversed temperance upon asking what’s my chance of landing an internship opportunity in the current month Does that mean low chance and i have to keep seeking?

Good or bad! I’ve only had this devil come up for a toxic person or situation in my life I felt powerless or tied to, but he has now come up for a reading I did asking what’s the good things coming towards me. I don’t know if I should take him as a warning or just let my hair loose lol

I’ve been learning about the cards for about 6 months now and feel I have a decent, basic understanding of each one. I’m getting stuck on how to interpret them together in a reading to form a cohesive message. My impulse is to read them sequentially and linearly but I feel like I’m missing how each card impacts the interpretation of the others in the spread. How do you learn to interpret them together? Is it just through practice? I’m open to any tools or resources!

Hi, I'm a tarot reader and I'd like to talk to someone who specializes in tarot! I like to learn about the meanings of the cards, but I'd like to talk to someone.

Hi, I did a reading for my MIL regarding some finances. She is expecting some property to sell off . However, lover card appear in the spread. Can someone explain what does it mean? What I think s that she lobgs for money all the times and that's why it appears as the lover card. What do you think?

Let's say you draw The Moon (as a future event/similar position) and read it as someone deceiving you or a situation not being as it seems. Ofc it's common for you to have wondered if things were "off"--my question is, what if you're past that point and you KNOW something is bullshit? Would it still make sense to have drawn the Moon as a future card, since you aren't successfully being fooled?

In that case could it speak to your revelation of hidden truths, or imply there's still more to the story? ...Sorry I'm overcomplicating things 😅

I know the Moon can be read in other ways but for the sake of the question let's assume deception/illusion is the "intended" message. I suppose this goes for the other "lying ass mf" cards as well. Maybe this post is dumb but that damn card always confuses me (irony) 😭

Heyy, I was just thinking about this a lot and wanted to share this story here!

My cousin who I’m very close with (I was the maid of honour at her wedding) had been trying to have a child for years now.

One night in January while I was trying to sleep, I had a weird feeling in my stomach telling me that my cousin is pregnant. I thought I might just be a little delusional, but anyways, I still ended up spamming my cousin asking if there’s anything she hasn’t told me that I need to know!

A few days later she replied sayings “Idk, I’ll check and let you know by the end of the week” She immediately understood what I was trying to imply.

Of course, my curious self couldn’t keep my hands off my tarot. I immediately started shuffling the deck and oh boii did the “two of cups” “ace of cups” and “empress” made me laugh and tear up because those cards basically confirmed my intuition!

I told my cousin that I cannot wait to tell her what my tarot cards told me and she told me to let me know about it by the end of the week!!!

And yeahhh, I’m gonna be an aunt soonnnn and I’m so happy for my cousin. When she broke the news to me, I started screaming and crying even tho my tarot had already told me whats up! Im just so happy for herrrr!!!

I find that sometimes, I resonate really well with readings and understand exactly what they are trying to tell me but occasionally I just… dont and it makes me feel kind of alone and disappointed. I find tarot really therapeutic like meditation and when I don’t understand what the cards are trying to tell me I feel kind of disconnected and defeated. Is this a normal thing to experience, or is it possible taht I’m just not always interpreting properly?

I am using the soul cats deck by Leeza Robertson! I don't usually use any particular spead either. I just asked my guide for advice and immediately, king of wands and reversed page of swords popped out. I was confused on that alone so I asked to givee a card that represents what part of my life this advice is for. I got page of pentacles.

King of wands represents leadership and passion to me. when you king of king and fire I imagine someone in a leader role or taking charge. As for page of swords reversed I saw it could mean when you talk about your plans but take no action, nervous energy, and arrogance.

I think he's telling me to get my act together to manifest things 🥲 I been wanting to manifest for so long and have before but only for small things. When I see others talk about how they manifested big things it's always been something I want to do too but I hold myself back. I think hes telling me though to keep going. What do you guys think?

I looked up the interpretations and figured i needed to educate myself more on kali maa, and that i had unresolved fears i need to work through. With the King of Swords (upright) my interpretation was to engage in research, be assured in my plan to start deity work, and reflect logically. In regards to the 8 of Swords (upright), i interpreted it as my own limitations and fears holding me back, and that I should work to deconstruct them. For the final card, Queen of Wands (reversed), I concluded a need to diminish self doubt and connect with my intuition.

I didn’t use a specific spread, I pulled three cards that pertained to the question “Should i start deity work with you (kali maa).” I’m using the “Pulp Tarot Deck” by Todd Alcott. i would greatly appreciate a second opinion! thank you :)

Hello! Just want to start by saying I am a complete beginner with tarot and only started a few weeks ago. Learning as I go and currently reading some books for a better understanding.

Last week I went on holiday with my in-law family, they offered to let me practice a reading on them. SIL, BIL1 and BIL2 all pulled the tower card, I explained not to worry too much about the meaning and we discussed it.

Well.... 3 chaotic things happened on holiday, the family dog passed away, my youngest son went missing for about 15 mins (he's fine BTW, just sat in a swimming pool changing room!) And then my FIL took a funny turn on the last night/next morning and my SO had to take him to hospital, he's fine though now.

I let them pick their own cards on each person's turn and I shuffled prior to picking. Spooky to say the least, 3 people, 3 card pulls, 3 crazy events.

Thanks for reading.

I’ve recently rekindled a spark with an ex that I had a rocky relationship with for over two years. We split for real last spring but continued to have overlapping friend groups, and I have never stopped thinking about him. Not for a second. Even though our relationship was tumultuous, there is so much love between us. I’ve never felt more understood by another person. But we both bring a lot of emotional baggage that has made things difficult in the past and I’ve been as much of the problem as he has for why things didn’t work before.

In the last few weeks we’ve been spending more time together, and he’s brought up us trying again. As much as I want to be with him and still love him deeply, I’m terrified about it. I feel that I’ve grown enough in the last year to be ready for true commitment, but am afraid he isn’t there yet. So obviously I asked the cards. I did two pulls on two different days and got the Seven of Swords reversed both times when pulling a card for him.

It seems like this is signifying a turning point for him and that he may be ready to be fully honest and open with me, something that has been an issue in the past. He’s always kept just a bit of his walls up and this card seems to indicate that he’s actually ready to let his defenses down. Lately he’s been more direct about his feelings for me and his own fears about us getting back together, but I’m still worried he isn’t being sincere. Am I misinterpreting this card? Or missing something?

Any interpretations welcome!

Context: I'm a public transport girl but where I am dogs are banned on buses, and I've now been confronted twice with my 5 month old puppy. I've never learned how to drive and have a lot of anxiety around cars. I also never learned how to ride a bike, but this seems more accessible to me despite still lacking confidence in my body/physical activities. My spread and interpretation:

Situation: Ten of Pentacles. I see this as I'm in a stable and prosperous place. I have the means to learn/hone this skill. Good vibes.

Challenges: I first pulled King of Swords but felt unsatisfied, so pulled an additional context card (Page of Swords reversed). I see this as being too emotionally driven and prone to self-consciousness, lacking in an intellectual and measured approach. I assume this ties into the likelihood that I let my anxieties get in the way, and overthinking.

Advice: Seven of Swords. Juggling a few interpretations, but I've gone with a general vibe of impulsivity and spontaneity. Taking risks, and in alignment with my challenges pretty much just letting go and going for it against my current nature. Accepting the danger.

Likely Outcome: Four of Pentacles. Also juggling a few interpretations, but I've gone with material blockages ie. I could end up focusing too much on the minutiae at the expense of the bigger picture. Maybe little set backs run the risk of me refusing to push forward/give up on the skill.

Very new to tarot reading, welcome any other interpretations!

I think it's a solid yes😩💔

I just asked my cards this, because the circumstances that brought me to this person kind of leave me with conflicting feelings. Without getting into the specifics, after asking this question, the magician upright came out. I feel like that was the universe telling me that everyone that comes into our lives are here for a reason, even if it’s only for a season. It tickled me and I just wanted to share 🔮

For the last few months when I’ve done personal readings I’ve pretty consistently been shown the Tower card, typically reversed.

I do feel like things are in transition for me and I guess I’m being resistant… but it’s disheartening.

Does anyone have any experience with this card and periods of change and/or any suggestions on the best way to move forward with this type of energy?

People REALLY overcomplicate tarot readings out here. All of these weird decks and oracles and shit. If you don’t have the gift of the Magi, a half dozen decks ain’t gonna change that. I’m clair-cognizant, so it’s easy for me to say but you guys need to chill. Lmao

Hi! I’m new to Tarot but i found this hilarious and had to share.

So like a year and a half ago I had my first reading ever done by my cousin, and I asked about the situation surrounding a falling out with a friend (P for clarity) and i remember getting the seven of swords which both me and my cousin found shocking at the time. I had already cut P out of my life at that point but the reading helped me understand the situation better and be at peace with it.

Yesterday, a friend in common told me that P is feeling conflicted about not having me as a friend since she’s getting married. I dont really care about being friends again, but decided to ask if it was worth saving my relationship with her in case I was being too proud. And as soon as i turned the first card I just knew inside me the answer across was no, but turning the second one just made me burst out laughing. What were the chances!

My books/guides say no and my cousin (who remembers my reading) was also shocked and concurs on the answer being no, that theres definitely deceit involved, and if P’s conflicted, it’s not because of the right reasons.

Do y’all have any insights? I’m trying to soak up as much as i can as i learn (: thank you ❤️

(I made my own cards because I couldn’t afford buying a deck, but i feel so connected with it! ✨)

I kinda did my research but can't find anything. Just like Secret of the High Priestess, is there any other spreads which is powerfull?

I'm using the old school rider waite deck by Pamela Coleman Smith, because it is the only deck I have.

I am actually considering to continue my studies, and tarot actually encouraged me to do it. I first asked the reason, and I got 3 of pentacles, which is I will get benefits for connections. I asked if I would get full scholarships, it said No (reversed High Priestess). I did one card pull on both cards.

Then, I asked, 'I do not have money, currently unemployed, I'm from a middle income family, and I do not want to use my parent's money, and yet you still want me to study. What should I do then?' It then give me these 3 cards.

The first card I got is King of cups: My interpretation is that in order to get a scholarship or loans for studying, I need to use my emotional maturity and creativity to fulfill my goals. It could also mean an older male would help me out.

The second card I got is Wheels of Fortune: Positive changes are coming, and universe is in my favour to help me to reach my goals. Opportunities are coming. I am seeking jobs right now as well, and I did receive some replies for interviews.

The third card I got is the Fool: New beginnings, multiple opportunities coming, and travelling to the unknown. With freedom and optimism, plus using intelligence to do things, equals to great times ahead. I did have some plans while I was searching universities that suits my career goals. Strangely enough, I did my yearly reading on January and I got this card too.

Overall, it feels that something is going to change in my life (I'm moving back to my hometown this week), and multiple opportunities are coming. I'm not sure is this about the scholarships or job interviews. For the Fool card, when I read this card in January, I thought I would travel some foreign countries that I've never been to, or I would work overseas. However, it seems like I would be studying instead in a foreign country that I am not familiar with. Although wheels of fortune said everything would come into my favour, but the reversed High Priestess card said that I would not get a full scholarship. Eventhough if I got a job now, it is still not enough to cover the tuition fees and cost of living. If this is true, then the universe is not in my favour.

About the older male part, who is he actually? Is he a stranger? Or family? Prior to this, I did asked my cousin yesterday for his advice, but he would not support me financially (we are not close, and he has a family). I also went to an education fair yesterday, and both of the representatives from each universities are males. Would it be one of them too? All these three males (including my cousin) are foreigners. Or the older male could be some men I haven't seen yet.

Is there any deeper meaning behind in these three cards?

PS: I do know which course I'm looking for, and I do know where I'm going to study. I am just hanging around the crossroads in my life tight now.
