22 Side Effects You Experience When Learning The Tarot

The High Priestess - Housewives Tarot

If you are interested in learning the Tarot, you need to be aware of some serious side effects you may encounter.

You see, learning the Tarot isn't about memorising card meanings. It's actually living the whole damn thing every day and every moment.

It's a way of life.

It's about doing a lot of inner work that turns your insides out and puts it all back together again, but differently.

It's breaking and healing.

If you think that spiritual awakening is all love n light, you're mistaken. If you don't confront and deal with your darkness, you just live in an illusion.

But worry not. The side effects you experience when learning the Tarot will help you become a better person and live your best life.

Here are the most commonly experienced side effects as reflected in the 22 cards of the Major Arcana:

The Fool: You start to discover new aspects of yourself.

The Magician: You realise anything is possible.

The High Priestess: You learn to access your inner wisdom.

The Empress: You become more creative.

The Emperor: You feel empowered.

The Hierophant: Amongst family and friends you start to feel a bit of an outsider...
