[@stillwatersnightsky6533]

Really like the way you simplify interpretations. Discover your channel yesterday and am glad I did. Excited to finally learn the Tarot without twisting my brains too much. Thank you!

I just love how the queen of pentacles is always peeking like it's so homey and the deck knows you're teaching us it's so cute

[@TheTarotShopUK]

Yes, that Queen of Pentacles was having fun with me during filming and I think they want their knowledge to be shared too, don't you? It's hilarious. My pendulum works in the same way, it's like they are so excited to show off ❤️

[@leaperrins8373]

Really useful and simple. I'm not experienced with tarot but I find the larger spreads a bit overwhelming and confusing. I also don't like past, present and future three card pulls either. I think situation, obstacles and outcome is much more relevant. Also. clarification by taking another card is how I've been doing it. Glad that's a valid way!

[@TheTarotShopUK]

I'm happy that it's helped. There are so many variations of spreads and I'm with you, I prefer smaller spreads unless I'm doing a deep dive on am issue. My go-to spreads are the celtic cross and three cards ❤

[@rustyblasco7201]

Totally agree with you. I'm not a fan of past, present future either. And I do tend to avoid spreads like the Celtic Cross. Simplicity and lucidity are what I'm after.

[@KandiLand777]

In the second reading, what I got from the obstacle cards (5 of PEntacles and 6 of swords) is that she doesn't have the money to travel to him. She must be further afield 😍

[@Alice88999]

Very useful,thank you so much❤

[@katwilsey1250]

You have simplisticly opened wide my world of tarot!!! Thank You so much💓

[@TheTarotShopUK]

I was about to comment on your thread on the cards meanings that you should pop over here to this spread and then saw that you had❤️ This shows me you are serious about learning too. Next step is to make up scenarios, an imaginary client sits in front of you with their dilemma and you shuffle and read for that. Write them all down until they start telling a story and you'll be surprised how quickly you learn to 'read' the cards. I think that's why we call it a 'reading'. For yourself, start drawing three cards a day with the words 'what does the universe have in store for me today?' do it for 7 days straight and see what comes. It's practice, practice. When I have time in the next couple of weeks I will post the 'celtic cross' tutorial (I've got a lot of new decks to film first). Finally, If you check out the zodiacs I do as well, you'll see me reading the cards in action. Good luck with your learning and welcome to Tarot ❤️

[@BeanieBeanTheKitty]

I prefer the jumpers because it feels like they were coming to me instead of picking a random card ❤

[@winter_wolf1111]

Yeah I like jumpers too. What do you do though when you don’t get any jumpers? Sometimes they just don’t want to jump. I do pull when that happens. But do you keep shuffling? Just curious what works for others.

[@TheTarotShopUK]

I love a 'jumper' too because it feels like the cards are determined that you don't miss this one! ❤️

[@TheTarotShopUK]

The most important thing is to focus on the question and allow the cards to come to you in whatever way they want. Jumpers are cool but standard card turns or card pulls work just as well. Always stop shuffling when the time feels right, there shouldn't be a need to keep shuffling. I only shuffle again when I was distracted during shuffling and the cards don't feel right. I hope that makes sense❤️

After shuffling it countless times and giving another try, picking the same 4 out of 6 cards.. I think universe is trying to give me a sing... ..and the sign is focus on myself and self-improve so I don't feel like an outsider any more. I think I commented a bit too much and I'm feeling down again.

[@TheTarotShopUK]

I'm just catching up with comments, so I'm sorry it took such a long time. I hope that you are bonding with your cards well and that they are providing you with valuable insight. The advise to focus on yourself is wonderful and I also recommend that you perhaps buy a lovely oracle deck and pull a card daily whilst you are developing your connection to your higher self and inner wisdom ❤️

[@nidiavega4052]

Hello! Thanks for all the information, question can a person read for a person not present and how do we part them if we can?.

[@TheTarotShopUK]

Hi, that's a really good question. Yes, you can read at distance without the sitter if you adopt the following method: 1. They must give permission (if you are a tarot reader you are usually employed to conduct a reading which is permission) 2. You enter a quiet meditative state and allow your higher self to seek out their higher self with the intention to serve them as best as you can 3. Once you feel content that the connection is good you deal the cards for them. Hope that helps? ❤️

[@nidiavega4052]

@@TheTarotShopUK yes thank you so much!

[@varybamarny2642]

What if you are doing it for someone, do they have to shuffle or cut the deck in half? Or do you do the whole thing just like you did?

[@TheTarotShopUK]

I prefer to do it myself because I feel my deck is an extension of me and I like to keep the energy clean for the next reading. If I'm reading in person I sometimes ask them to choose which pile after I've cut them but most of the time I am talking to them whilst shuffling and laying the cards. Some readers do prefer to let clients shuffle and cut but I recommend a cleanse in between each different energy touching them if that makes sense

[@DrishtyDhaliwal]

Hey! I really liked your explanation..can u tell me the particular name of the cards you use?

I found one in the woods, so i was wondering how these work. It was mind blowing that the first one i saw in this video is the one you accidently flipped at 0:53 and fhat is the very same card that i found in the forrest. What are the odds.

[@TheTarotShopUK]

Very slim 😉 There is a message in there for you ❤️

[@scott9141]

Hello. Thanks for this. A recent 3-card spread for a beginner is just what I've been looking for. But I don't really understand. You don't actually ask a question. The card for the current situation is OK. But obstacles to what? There is no desired outcome. Likely outcome based on what? It is too vague for me. It seems more specific and goal-directed for me to ask something like: present situation - desired outcome - action required to achieve outcome. Am I missing something? Can you help clarify this for me? Many thanks.

[@TheTarotShopUK]

No problem this is one of two types of three card readings I do myself and teach. You can either simply lay three cards for past, present and future. For example, what's led me to this situation, what's happening now and what's the likely outcome. It's a really good direct reply from the cards. The other is this one and is usually if there is an issue or you just want a general reading. For example, the first card is the situation, the second are obstacles but usually unseen influences and the last card is the probably outcome. I like this reading when someone is stuck in either a work situation, love triangle that sort of thing. It's usually their own energy that is stuck so it's an opportunity for change and in this reading they usually change direction because they don't like the outcome. Does that make sense? You may find the other 3 card reading that I've done on the channel more suited to your needs. Hope that helps. ❤

[@redrobinhood3726]

When you read for someone, should they tell you the question they are asking? I imagine it would help the interpretation.

[@TheTarotShopUK]

Absolutely, it's important for the querent to understand that they are consulting the cards and you will be interpreting them. I ask the direct question 'What would you like the cards to tell you?' If they don't have an actual question, many go blank at this point, give them a 'general' reading using the Celtic Cross, it's a great ice breaker❤️

[@SmilingCompass-1234]

[@TheTarotShopUK]

Excellent - glad that you found it useful ❤️

[@stefanssmellsvictory105]

Question! None of the cards are upside down. Do you not play these cards in reverse?

[@TheTarotShopUK]

Well spotted - I don't read reversals at all and I wanted to keep it as simple as possible to avoid overwhelm. It's easier to remember 78 cards than 156 and it's not necessary to know the reversals as well to be a good tarot reader. They are simply a reversal of the upright meaning, blocks/obstacles and there are plenty of negative cards in the upright position that will give you the same answer. ❤️

[@landang7906]

Is there a specific number of times to shuffle the cards? Or do you just shuffle until one card falls out?

[@TheTarotShopUK]

Shuffle until you feel it's time to stop. Something just seems to say 'enough'. Hope that helps ❤️

[@landang7906]

@@TheTarotShopUK That helped 🙂 FYI in Asian countries card readers (not Tarot) apply the principle of 9times for women and 7 times for men, resulting from some ancient belief and I was wondering if this would apply. I'll just shuffle until it feels right to stop, as you say. Thank you.

What Tarot Deck are you using?

Is there a certain age you have to be, to learn tarot. I’m currently in secondary school(not saying my age, for obvious reasons lol), and I am really interested, and fascinated.

[@Ch1rby]

*forgot to put a question mark, but this is a question lol.

[@TheTarotShopUK]

That's a really good question. There aren't any rules as such, although it's better to have maturity. My own daughter was 14 when she really started showing an interest. There are so many books and courses that aren't age restrictive, but I would offer the following advice, and I believe the cards will respond to this approach. Learn in your late teens and learn everything you can about them, their history, and their role in guidance, not dictate. Build a relationship, draw a daily card, keep a journal, practice spreads. In other words, become a student and then master but do not read for others until you are 18. 🤎

[@Ch1rby]

Thanks!@@TheTarotShopUK

[@gratemind2003]

What if i ask the same question multiple times , does the story changes.

[@TheTarotShopUK]

Working with Tarot is strengthened by mutual trust and if you are asking the same question repeatedly it would suggest that you don't like the answer or don't trust it. The cards should give exactly the same response and if they don't its because they don't understand the question. It helps to be clear and then to ask a different question about the same topic. Hope that helps ❤

[@TheBigJimShow8376]

So maybe you can help me piece this together. I've never had a tarot reading let alone touch a deck and I understood just about everything you said. It just came to me and I knew that the queen of pentacles was going to show up later. Why was it so clear? I know it was a fictional story but I read it so clearly. Help me try to understand this

[@TheTarotShopUK]

You are evolving and your intuitive skills are reaching a level that you can trust them without question. You have described 'Claircognizance' here, which is an ability to 'know' things.

How come your cards are all the right way up? Mine come out upside down too

[@TheTarotShopUK]

Good question. I have never read reversals. It may be something to do with my OCD 🙃 I personally know many professional readers like myself who don't either. It's also how you shuffle the deck that factors in reversals. My cards are upright when I shuffle the deck so would never be reversed. Having said that if I had a jumper and it landed reversed I would read it as a reversal, but it hardly ever happens. ❤
