There are many fun and creative ways to connect with the tarot and develop your reading skills, and here's a little Tarot game you can play.
Let's play Tarot Guidance in 4 Words - #tarotguidancein4words
How it works:
Shuffle your deck and pull a card.
Come up with a meaningful message in just four words that relates to the card. It should be a phrase or sentence, not just a set of keywords.
You can also apply this reading method to spreads, and in order to demonstrate it, I have used the Celtic Cross:
Present Situation - The Tower: Break down, break through.
What is crossing it - King of Cups: Be kind to yourself.
Heart of the Matter - The Emperor: Put your foot down.
Past influences - Knight of Pentacles: Persevere despite slow progress.
Attitudes and Beliefs - Seven of Swords: Watch out for dishonesty.
Near Future - Three of Swords: Heal your broken heart.
You as you are - Ace of Cups: Embrace love around you.
How others see you - Five of Pentacles: In need of help.
Advice - Two of Wands: Take a new direction.
Outcome - The Empress: Create your dream life.
Despite its brevity, a 4-word message can offer great insight, which is useful for daily journaling.
And perhaps at the end of the month your daily guidance messages connect and tell a story…
Here are some more ideas for the High Priestess:
- Still waters run deep
- Listen to your intuition
- Don’t rush, be patient
- Turn away from noise
- Silence reveals what’s hidden
And here are some for the Wheel of Fortune:
- Time to be flexible
- Change will bring growth
- Go with the flow
- Win some, lose some
- Your luck will change
I could go on as I’m having fun with this exercise, but now it’s over to you.
