How to Start a Tarot Reading – A Beginner’s Guide for World Tarot Day
Tarot can be a powerful tool for insight, clarity, and spiritual connection — but starting your own reading can feel a little intimidating at first. Whether you’re drawn to Tarot out of curiosity or a deeper spiritual calling, learning the basics of a Tarot reading is easier than you might think. With World Tarot Day approaching on 25th May, now is the perfect time to connect with your deck and unlock the guidance it holds.
Create a calm space
Before you begin, take a moment to ground your energy. Find a quiet space, light a candle or some incense if it helps you feel centred, and take a few deep breaths. This isn’t just about setting the mood — it helps you tune into your intuition and open up to the messages the cards want to share.
Get to know your deck
Each Tarot deck has its own energy. Spend time shuffling, looking at the images, and reading the guidebook if you’re just starting out. You don’t need to memorise every card right away — begin by noticing which cards you feel drawn to and how they make you feel.
Ask a clear question
Clarity is key. Keep your questions open-ended rather than yes or no. For example, instead of asking “Will I get the job?” try “What do I need to know about my current career path?” This invites deeper guidance and leaves room for more meaningful interpretation.
Pull your cards
You might start with a simple one-card or three-card spread (past, present, future is a great option). Pay attention to your first impressions — what stands out, what emotions come up, and how the cards relate to your question. Trust your intuition as much as your knowledge of traditional meanings.
Reflect and journal
Once you’ve finished the reading, take a few minutes to write down what came through. Even if it doesn’t all make sense right away, Tarot often unfolds over time. Reflection is where many of the ‘aha’ moments appear.
As World Tarot Day draws near, it’s a beautiful time to honour this ancient tool and start building your own relationship with the cards. Whether you’re reading for yourself or for others, the Tarot can be a guide, a mirror, and a gentle nudge forward — all you need to do is begin.
