Tarot Reading - Intuition VS Card Meanings
Posted: Tue Jul 23, 2013 10:35 pm
Okay. So I need other people's opinion on tarot reading - and whether it is your intuition or the actual card meanings that should be trusted. Here's the story...
I have had tarot decks since I was about 20 (I'm 26 now) but it wasn't until the age of 24 when I started to read cards and understand what they mean without looking at materials for their meaning. So I pretty much use my own intuition to read these cards. I do however, check online for their meanings after finishing my reading to make sure that I read the cards correctly.
There are times when my intuitive-based readings are accurate, and others when they are off their actual card meanings. The question is, which do I trust? My intuition and how I see these cards in my life? Or the predetermined card meanings?
Note: I use an Esoteric deck. It is the only deck that works for me when it comes to intuitive reading. I can look at prettier decks, and not get what they mean no matter how long I stare at them. Also, I limit my readings to the Major Arcana.
Any insight will be helpful!
May the Spirit guide us.
