Tarot Tips Bonus
MULTIPLE READINGS
FOR THE SAME QUESTION Melissa asks… One question has always plagued me about the tarot. I am basically interested in using the tarot for myself. The thing that always has confused me is that when you try to do a reading for yourself, you could do readings over and over in one sitting and always come up with something different. So how do you know what's right? I've read somewhere that if you get cards that don't seem "right" you should probably start over with a new reading. What's the right explanation? How do you know which reading is right when you could sit and do it all day with different results? Answer: If you do more than one reading to answer the same question in one sitting, you can regard the answer you get from the first reading as the primary answer. Any subsequent readings should be considered as providing additional information and approached with that intent. This can be useful in understanding complex situations. However, if you ask the same question more than once hoping for a different answer than the one you received the first time, you are sending a signal that you don't trust the cards. If you don't trust them the first time, then why would you trust them the second or third time? Without trust, there's no real reason to do a reading. But what if you do trust the cards but your reading just doesn't seem to make sense? In this case, the chances are that only a bit of card knowledge is missing. The more you know, the less often this problem will occur. So if a reading doesn't make sense right away, instead of immediately doing another reading, take the time to do some research on the card or cards you drew and contemplate their meanings. Every card can be interpreted in a number of ways. One of those ways will make sense in the context of your question. Another way to look at multiple readings / answers for the same question is like a multi-faceted gem. Each answer gives you a different perspective from which to view the situation. One of the techniques we practice in our classes at The Tarot School is the “Reading in the Round.” Here, multiple readers contribute their interpretations, offering insights the primary reader hadn’t considered. It’s unlikely that a single reader would see all the possibilities. If you are the only one doing the reading, doing multiple spreads on the same question could serve the same function. However, there is a caveat… This doesn’t work with a Yes/No question, where the answers from multiple readings could be contradictory. It’s best to have a more specific question and then do subsequent readings to build on aspects of the answer. For example… Initial Question: Will I get this job? (Yes/No) Revised Question: What do I need to know about getting this job? Follow-up Questions (You can pull additional cards or do entire readings for each one.): • What can I do to increase my chances? • What should I avoid doing? • What am I missing about the situation? • Is this really the best job for me? Finding different ways to approach a single question with multiple readings can be very effective. With love and gratitude on the tarot journey,
