Interested in performing an accurate and detailed Timings or Forecast Reading using the Tarot? Read on to find out exactly how.
1. Pick a person to work with
2. When doing a reading, try and stay away from specific dates, because these give too much of a narrow timeframe. This can lead to problems with things being pushed back because of the narrow 24 hour time frame.
We want to work with seasons, numbers, how to get timings for days/weeks/months/possibly years.
What we are looking for is a general theme for the specified time period.
So for a 12 Month Reading, initially look at the Numerology; is there going to be a changing theme over that period of time? Use their Date of Birth for the Reading, along with the present year.
3. Start with your side cards and lay them all out. See what information you can get from them to give a mini reading to the person you are reading for. The key areas of focus are work, love, home, finances etc. We tend not to go specifically into health, although we may touch on it slightly on occasion. We are not doctors, and cannot diagnose, so it is always best to avoid this topic! A mini reading can be really helpful when you come to do the main forecast, because it can help you see what the forecast is saying.
4. Always keep it simple. Overcomplicating is not necessary. So for a 12 month Reading shuffle your deck and pull out 12 cards. Lay them out in front of you, and go through each month for each card i.e. one card represents one month.
- Pentacles would relate to work or money
- Wands are to do with personal ambitions and things we are passionate about
- Swords are the mental aspect and creative ideas
- Cups represent all of the emotions.
Use your judgement with what comes through.
What happens if you do a 12 month reading and there is some detail missing?
For example, if someone asks when they will get a new job, but the forecast hasn’t touched on this, then I would recommend shuffling the cards whilst thinking about the question. Take the top card and see what it shows. Delve deeper and see what the shuffled cards show for the specific question. Once the cards start to not make much sense with regard to the question, then leave them; they have answered as much as you need to know, so do not read any further into them.
If you were doing a six month reading you would use six cards. For a month ahead you would use four cards (one card per week) For a week ahead reading you would use seven cards. As before, adapt the card to the timeframe.
One thing to remember
It can be difficult when you go into comparison mode - i.e. personally I always get the card that answers the question straight away. This isn’t because I am amazing! It is because I’ve worked with the same cards religiously for a very long time. They are as in tune with me as I am with them. With the Mystic Power Deck I am still learning those as they are a new deck. Although I created them, I am still learning how to get them to tune into my energy in the same way that my tarot cards do.
When you don’t get the answer straight away it is worth looking into why; is there something holding you back? Or is there something sat in the way which is hiding and obscuring the answer? These are things that you can consult your tarot over yourself.
