What to expect in your reading?

•  Tarot card reading is considered a powerful tool for prophecy.
• As well as the cards, the reader's intuitive powers aid to give the details you seek.
• The reader then acts as a medium between the seeker and the cards. They lay out the cards to inform what is happening in life.
• You should ask questions and have a conversation with the reader as the cards unfold to dig deeper into what message the cards are trying to give and in what area of your life.
• Remember that tarot card readings are a guide for what can happen in the near future and can help guide your decisions moving forward. A reader can see what may be coming based on your current circumstances, but you can shift gears at any time. 
• You are always in control; the cards are only used for giving you probable guidance and you have the choice to change your path if you wish.
• If you don’t like what you hear remember - Tarot does not have control over choices, you make moving forward and no future event is set in stone.

 
Advice for getting the most out of you reading

• You could be tempted to be secretive so your reader can “prove themselves” ... don’t be that person. Remember that the more you share with your reader, the more your reader will share with you.
• When you walk into any reader’s studio for the first time, leave your expectations and stereotypes at the door and come in with an open mind.  
• Come prepared with an open-ended question if you have a particular area you would like to have the reading around.
• When asked questions, let the skeletons out of the closet. There will be no judgement. There is a sincere desire to assist you, and your secrets are safe, remember - what happens in the reading stays in the reading! Be open for a conversation as the cards unfold.
• Yes and no questions are extremely hard, bring that open-ended question with you. Time related questions can be hard too, so many different variants can change.
• Sometimes people seek guidance from others to validate what their gut is already telling them. Tarot readings can help with that

 
Some misconceptions around tarot

• This is not a movie and tarot is not evil. Opening up to the reader does to open a portal to the underworld
• Your reader will not be in flowy robes, will not chant or go into a trance, no theatrics are needed for a genuine tarot reading
• The death card rarely means a physical death, it is more around endings and new beginnings, in the same way the devil card is not about evil itself but more about temptations and remember, you have free will to alter the outcome.

 
What not to expect in a reading

• 100% accuracy.  No one can see your entire future and the reader can only see this snapshot in time.
• Being judged. It’s not up to the reader to judge you – they are here to help you.  And remember it is confidential
• Mind reading - yep, don't have that power!
• The Tarot readings are neither a magic bullet nor a foolproof almanac to forecast the future.
