The Intuitive Tarot Technique

  1. Gather together your materials including but not limited to a comfortable chair, table, notebook and pen or other writing materials, and the tarot deck of your choice.
  2. Become very calm and peaceful using whatever techniques work for you. This may include meditation, contemplation, prayer or any other techniques you want to use.
  3. Place yourself within a sphere of protection or call upon your guardian angel to protect you from psychic attack during your readings. Whatever system you have for protecting yourself from psychic attack will work with this system. The important thing is to protect yourself.
  4. Choose a card, any card that pulls you to it and look at that card.
  5. Make a note of anything in that card that catches your eye for any reason. It doesn’t matter why. What matters is that something in that card caught your attention.
  6. Make a note of anything else in that card that catches your attention.
  7. Make a note of any feelings you have as you glance at that card.

This is the basis for the Intuitive Tarot Technique. Whatever catches your eye or your attention is the important thing in that card. Whatever it is that catches your attention is the thing that you need to interpret.

You interpret that thing by using the definitions you’ve already decided to assign to that object, shape, color or Element. If it’s a person that catches your eye, use the six basic questions given in the Intuitive Tarot Technique Outline of topic discussed on the audiotape or CD accompanying this lesson. If it’s a feeling you feel, make a note of it and describe the feeling you have.

This is the Intuitive tarot technique. It looks easy and it is. It’s all about you and your own intuitive insights. When you feel something, believe what you feel. When you analyze people, believe what you feel. When you have good definitions for the objects, shapes, colors and Elements, you’ll start to listen to your own intuitive insights and your intuition will improve quickly.

The secret to doing good tarot readings is to define the things you want to define in the cards. Practice with these definitions by doing readings for yourself. Your subconscious mind will always honor the meanings you attach to each card. It’s this relationship between you and your subconscious mind that makes Tarot readings work as a divinatory tool. Remember, your subconscious mind will always honor the meanings you attach to each card.
