How Tarot Helps When You’re Feeling Lost
When life gets complicated, you either find yourself facing a difficult decision to make or you feel stuck with nothing to improve your situation. In both cases, Tarot is there to help you move forward. Tarot is like a mirror; It reflects your inner state of mind and emotion. As you peer into it, you will come to discover great things about yourself.
I’d like you to take a closer look at the word “Tarot.” You might notice it starts and ends with a ‘t’. If you write the letters in a circle, it returns to itself:
Also, the words Tora and Rota can be found in them. It suggests perpetuity, constant changes, and transformation. Tarot tells stories about the cycles of our lives. Nothing ever remains the same (and that notion alone can be relieving!)
New Perspective
Its purpose is to uncover new perspective about any situation you find yourself in. It helps you to see enlightened ideas or patterns that will clarify clouded vision. You gain understanding on how certain events can lead to different outcomes. It gives you better choices. That’s not saying they will be easy ones, but at least they will be more defined. They are honest representations of what surrounds you at that point in time. Should you have any questions about career, love and relationships, money, travel, or anything else, options and directions make themself apparent.
Every spread is different in some ways but contain the fundamental aspects of a story: the root of the problem, what you can actions you can take, what the external world can help you with, and what you can generally expect to occur in the storyline.
Sometimes you might be opposing some of the messages because they are not really what you wanted to hear. That is normal, too. Denial can step into the picture anytime. But don’t fall prey to it–it’s important that you keep an open mind and open heart.
Sacred Imagery
The images are meant to trigger emotions, thoughts, and memories which can take you deeper into the topic of interest. It gives you the opportunity to open up and talk fully about subjects, which will guide you to a new perspective. This is more of a way of helping people conceptualize things, so it makes sense within their own mental model.
The Rider-Waite-Smith imagery can also offer a great way of exploring a variety of creative thinking processes, which deliver out-of-the-box answers that make you think in ways that you may never have thought of before. Keep in mind, the art contains symbolism influenced by centuries of spiritual wisdom. It’s drawn the way it is for a reason.
The images are the language of the subconscious. By understanding them you start to understand yourself, and how you operate as a person. So, it can be a useful tool in a therapeutic setting to bring out peoples’ innermost issues.
Use of Tarot in making a decision
For instance, you ask a question if you should leave your current job. If the cards show a fortunate outcome from the choice of leaving then it gives you the opportunity to reflect upon the aspect that could come about from a new job. You can delve through the benefits a new job can provide. Looking at the situation from this new perspective can open your eyes to opportunities you might have otherwise missed.
On the other hand, let’s say you get primarily negative cards forecasting bad situations or more challenging times. That can make you reflect on the positive aspects of your current job, and suddenly make you aware of opportunities for advancement within the company or you become aware of those coworkers you really like. Reflecting and contemplating on the possible negative aspects of the reading can lead you to realize you need to prepare more before you leave a job and accumulate more savings.
The possible future reflected in the cards has a deep purpose. It is that the cards act like a mirror you reflect upon your direction, path, and course of action. Remember though that no tarot card will make decisions for you. It is a map in your hands, and it is for you to decide which road to walk on.
And here is a very important note: the future is not fixed. You have free will and with that, you can make changes and transform any situation.
With the help of the cards, you can tap into your universal inner wisdom.
Tarot is a powerful instrument in guiding people to see that which is not realized. It takes a great deal of contemplation to reap the benefits of this experience and to make you more self-aware and be your true self.
In summary, tarot reading seems to guide you by tapping into something that isn’t definable scientifically. Where cards, querent, and reader combine with some intangible kind of reservoir of knowledge or spirit or synchronicity to bring together something that helps the querent get a sense of the dynamic of his or her life.
We are not left alone on this journey as thousands of years’ wisdom is condensed in us. This collective consciousness is like a deep water well from which we draw strength.
