It takes a massive leap of faith to trust your inner self. Since childhood, you have probably been told to use reason and logic to solve problems. Not all of the answers can be discovered this way.
Intuition is that niggling thought at the back of your mind while you are trying desperately to find the solution to a problem. It’s the hunch that turns out to be correct despite being the least likely possibility from a rational point of view.
“The only real valuable thing is intuition.” – Albert Einstein
Tarot readers use intuition when looking at the cards laid out before them in a spread. It’s those fleeting thoughts or feelings that gently move in and out of consciousness as they focus on the cards.
The first step towards embracing your intuition is acknowledging that information from your intuitive faculties is just as valid as data from your other senses. When you are doing a Tarot reading and an intuitive flash arrives at the forefront of your mind, don’t ignore it; let it come to the surface. Act on it. Let it loose. Don’t be afraid to give voice to your intuition.
Tarot Blessings,
