Tarot Reading as an “Energetic Snapshot”
I remember feeling absolutely crestfallen when a particular day came and went that a trusted tarot reader had told me that my former lover would contact me… and they didn’t. Tears fell from disappointment and embarrassment that I’d let my expectations climb so high. How could this have happened?
The most helpful piece of advice that I have ever received as a reader and a client of the tarot is that a reading is an “energetic snapshot” of a moment in time. Just as a photograph is taken at a moment in time, as soon as the flash subsides things can change. I look back at a photograph from ten years ago and while I’m still the same person, I definitely wouldn’t wear the same outfit, and I’ve changed over time. This is the same with tarot readings and energy.
At Soul Therapy 1111, we never (with extremely rare exceptions) offer “time frames” in our tarot readings. The reason for this is because energy is always changing as time passes and situations evolve, and because free will will always adjust reading outcomes. We provide a general energetic reading, answer questions about current energy, feelings, situations, and provide the best advice and council based on the suggestions from Spirit and what the cards tell us. We are “no nonsense, no fluff” readers who try to give honest answers and not keep our clients “stuck” in situations that don’t deserve their precious energy.
If you enjoy pulling a tarot card for yourself, the energy will change from day to day: Some days, you will pull The Lovers, some days you will pull The Moon… And that is normal as life continues and situations change. Pulling your own tarot cards for general guidance and spiritual learning is a beautiful and empowering practice. However, if you are feeling anxious or emotional about a particular question or situation, it’s best to have someone else read the cards, so that there are no emotions clouding the reading or confusing the interpretation.
The best way to look at tarot readings is as a current read on a situation, a captured energetic “moment in time”, and a way to gauge the best path forward for yourself in a confident and empowered way, with Spirit’s help.
