Many people will tell you it’s impossible to do a reading for yourself. Their argument is that your interpretation of the cards will be coloured by your desires. They say that despite your intuition, you might choose to see a particular outcome, even if the cards show an obvious alternative.

This is only going to happen if you are the type of person who allows the brain to be seduced by a wish for a particular result. I think most people are more realistic than this — they can discern truth from fantasy. If the wording of your question is clear, and your mind is open, then a truthful answer will be easy to see.

If I have an important decision to make, I don’t go running off to the nearest Tarot reader, I grab the cards and ask what I should be aware of regarding the situation that’s troubling me. I can always get an indication as to whether the outcome is positive or negative. I’ll have fairly good idea of what the future will bring, and I can proceed accordingly.

If you don’t try it, you’ll never know. Maybe start with something that isn’t too important and do a Tarot reading for yourself. If it’s a decision you need to make within a few days, at least you’ll have a result really soon and you can compare your interpretation with the outcome.

So, next time you have to choose between two restaurants, or if you want to know which party to attend, don’t toss a coin, let your cards guide you, and after the event you can look back at your reading and realise you can do readings for yourself!
