Your First Tarot Reading

Your First Tarot Reading — Beginner's Grace

So you've got a deck and a question. Beautiful. Your first reading isn't about getting everything "right" — it's about meeting yourself honestly and kindly.

Set the Space (2 Minutes)

Simple Opening

  1. Take three breaths. Light a candle if it feels good.
  2. Name your question in one sentence.
  3. Promise yourself gentle interpretation and practical action.

The 3-Card Spread

Pull three cards face up:

  • Card 1 — What's true now
  • Card 2 — What supports
  • Card 3 — What to practice next
Cosmic Knowledge Check

The best beginner approach to a confusing card is:

Interpreting Kindly

  • Describe what you see before naming meanings
  • Translate symbolism into a compassionate instruction
  • Choose one 10–15 minute action that honors the reading
💡Insight

Tarot is a conversation. If you feel stuck, ask a kinder question.
