Free Tarot Card Readings
77Understanding the Tarot
There is a lot of misunderstanding about what the Tarot really is. Most people think it has something to do with dark magic or some thing equally sinister. It is nothing of the sort.
The tarot is essentially a set of cards which are used to guide you. There is no preset life that you must live. Every day you make decisions which will affect how the rest of your life plays out. What we do is that in times of difficulty we turn to the Tarot for guidance.
It is a way to connect with your higher self which is so much more in tune with the spiritual universe from which we all stem. We are sent signs in everyday life which we ignore, so when we want help it is difficult to know how to ask for it. This is where the tarot helps streamline things.
It is a guide. It does not predict the actual future, It only shows you what will be the possible future should you take a set of actions that you are contemplating. There is also a huge difference in the readings done by a professional and any person who is dabbling in the Tarot readings as a hobby.
So remember gettiing a free tarot reading is not always the best way to get introduced to the tarot. At the same time there are some automated online Tarot sites that offer tarot readings.

Getting a Tarot Reading Done
The process of getting a live Tarot Reading is naturally very different from getting a Tarot online reading. Naturally you have to fix an appointment, but besides that there are a few things you can do to ensure a good reading.
First free your mind from any other doubts and fears that you may have. Relax with some deep breathing and remind yourself that nothing is binding and final. You are here for guidance which is just the same as getting advice from a friend. You may or may not decide to act on it.
Get to know your Tarot medium better as a person as it will make it easier for you to connect with her or him. There is no need to tell all your inner secrets or desires to this person. In fact some Tarot readings can be done without even revealing the question to the Tarot reader.
Ask about these techniques if you want to ensure full privacy, but such readings are open to many interpretations and the reader may not be able to give a very accurate reading. It is best to share the question with the psychic medium so as to avoid any ambiguity.

Teach Yourself Tarot
The basics of the Tarot are availble on the internet should you choose to acquaint yourself with them. You can start with the two links that i have provided, but they are just the beginning in a very interesting journey.
Learning from a teacher is always the best thing for an esoteric science, but many of us will shy away from it. The cost of the course is just a small reason, we are actually unwilling to leave ourselves feeling so vulnerable with a stranger. I know I was not. I learnt from my aunt and still was reluctant to share parts of myself with her.
So it was easier for me to pick up books on Tarot and browse the net for resources. I must say initially it was very frsustrating as it was all hit or miss. The trial and error manner did pay off eventually, partly because I feel I was ready to recieve the knowledge. Anyway, today I regularly do Tarot Readings for friends and family and they say I'm quite good.
As with any esoteric science you can not take with out giving back, so I charge a single buck for my readings. That way both sides can relax and enjoy the reading without it being a financial strain. But the easiest thing to do is to get yourself a deck and start learning.

Hope it inspires you to take up the Tarot Candie
Iam interested in Tarot Card Reading, although I know about astrology and numerology. Good hub. Looking forward to read more of them
I'll be posting more Hubs on Tarot jayb hope you will find them as interesting.
I've always been curious about Tarot readings. This is an interesting hub.
Thanks richard
Glad to know I'm not the only one who had reservations about opening myself to a tarot reader.
That's why the online guys are making so much money JamaGenee. There is total impersonal interaction and the cards still tell you what you need to know.
I personally don't charge for my readings, as I believe I should just help friends out when they need guidance.
Besides using the cards for reading people's fortune, do you also play the game? I like to play, but I don't have anyone here who knows how. Perhaps it is time for me to get a reading. Can you do a reading for yourself or is that not kosher for whatever reason?
Nice hub, nice topic!
Hi Mireille, I do more of my own readings than friends and family combined :)
If you want a reading done, shoot me your questions.
No I don't know how to play the game. Teach me?
I'm glad that I had read this and not go through with a Tarot reading?! To be honest, I didn't know what it is until I done more research.
If you want more details let me know.
Cashmere, this was well written and informative. I'd like to learn a little about the Tarot. I started to learn some years back, but stopped because I never got past the this-is-too-close-for-comfort stage.
Very well done, loved to have mine done!

I know what you mean Dolores. The online course link that I have given, really helped me do my own readings.
Never tried but I must say I am a little curious...
If you like elainevc, I could do a free reading for you online.
Oh cashmere I am so glad and I think blessed that I found you. This is a subject which I am really interested in. At the moment I am in great trouble financially and i you don't mind I really like a reading.
I met two readers in my life who were absolutely fantastic. One told me all my life and every bit came true. The other lady read my mother in 1945 or there about and she predicted, now sit tight, that NY a hugh building will be destroyed. I nearly fell off the chair when I saw it on 11 Sept 2001. She also predicted many other things ref to my mother. Ever since I belief you can see the future in Tarrot cards. Some people are gifted and very good.
let me know if you are serious about a reading. will be glad to do one for you.
