Historically, Tarot has been thought of as a tool for divination or fortune-telling, and has been considered as a spiritual practice rather than a psychological one. However, a modern approach to a Tarot card reading can be used as a tool for self-reflection and personal growth.  When used thoughtfully, the symbolism and archetypal energies of the Tarot cards can help us to understand our human psyche and our individual circumstances on a deeper level.

A Tarot deck consists of 78 cards, 22 major arcana cards and 56 minor arcana cards and my preference is the Rider Waite Smith system.  The wisdom within a Tarot reading offers opportunities for reflection of past experiences, insights into current situations and consideration for future possibilities.

Tarot for me

Tarot and oracle cards have been my tool of self-reflection for many years.  My experience is that the Tarot cards can be used as a practical tool for personal growth through increased self-awareness. I use Tarot as part of my daily journaling practice, to help me find deeper meaning, new inspiration and motivation for change.

Why consider Tarot for you?

My experience has been that navigating change can be assisted by using Tarot as a tool for self-reflection.  Life happens, things change and sometimes it take courageous strength to persevere and keep moving forward. It can feel challenging working through internal and external factors, and experiences can leave us feeling like we are moving further and further away from who we truly are.

It is so important to trust yourself and your motivations during times of change.  Understanding your window of tolerance can help you move through a difficult situation, by managing your stress and emotions in a healthy way and acknowledging what is within your control can be key to navigating challenges. Journaling is also a valuable tool for processing emotions and tracking your progress during times of change.
