Do You Think You'd Be a Good Tarot Reader?

Have you often thought about learning to read Tarot? Wanted to be able to read your own cards or even read cards for other people? Have you wondered what it would take to be a Tarot reader?

Let's take a look at some of the qualities and skills that most people believe make for a great reader!

Communication Skills

Probably one of the first things that comes to mind would be having good communication skills. Now, this doesn't necessarily mean having good verbal skills; although that will help if you do readings in person! It could also mean being able to put your thoughts down on paper so you can do email readings. 

Ability to Learn Basic Card Meanings

It is also necessary to learn the cards. This can be one of the biggest hurdles for lots of people actually. There are quite a few cards and each has different meanings! Learning the meanings a bit can help you as you're doing a reading. Never underestimate the power of your own intuition either! You'll also want to use your intuition when reading the cards! This means using your Clair abilities to determine how that particular card relates to your client specifically.

Listening Skills

It helps when reading Tarot for others, to be a good listener when you're giving readings in person. People tend to want to open up and share more of their story when you are doing a reading for them. It's important to try to see their issue from their perspective. That often means holding back on judgement and avoiding imposing your own beliefs onto your client. This also means making sure that you stay objective. 

Always Learning!

As a professional tarot reader, you're always learning! It's important to keep reading about Tarot and interacting with fellow Tarot readers to stay up to date! There is always more to learn with the Tarot, so it's important to step up your game every once in a while! 

This list should provide a starting point for anyone who has ever thought about picking up a set of Tarot cards. Certainly, there's much more to it; but if you've got the right attitude and desire to learn, you could be reading Tarot for yourself, friends and family with a little practice. Which brings me to the final key to being a good Tarot reader... PRACTICE often!!
