Why you should STOP using Tarot, in order to Trust Your Intuition.

If you’ve been following me for a while, you’ll know that I love Tarot. I use it all the time; as a tool to help my clients, to find out what my day is going to bring me, and to explore situations and opportunities that arise.

So let’s imagine. I start my day by pulling a card, to see what the day will bring me. Then I get a phone call from my friend, she doesn’t seem too happy, so the cards come out again to see if I can find out what is really going on here.

Then I make my way to work and check my emails, I am being headhunted for another position, so out come the cards and I have a look at my possible options.

At lunch I listen to the news and there are some rail strikes going on today, let’s see what the cards say about going home by bus instead.

I get home and I take some time to reflect on the cards I have drawn and decide to do a full in-depth reading about my current relationship.

But at no time during any of these events did I rely solely on my intuition. My friend was probably grumpy because she had a crappy commute to work or a stressful morning.

I ignored my gut feeling about the headhunted position, and I could have made my own decision about the bus, and I probably should have spoken with my partner and had an honest conversation to get the in-depth analysis I was wanting.

Now this may seem a little extreme but what is the lesson I am teaching myself here? I am not to be trusted. I cannot make these decisions on my own. The Tarot knows better than me.

And so this continues, and my self-belief goes down, my confidence deteriorates, and I second guess myself all the time. Sound familiar?

I am not saying that you can’t ever use tools like these to help you, but they are there to help focus and guide your intuition, not replace it. So – before you head straight to the cards, or the pendulum or the angels or the agony aunt best friend – check in with yourself first. What is your first thought, or gut feeling? What is your intuition telling you?

And if you’re not sure how to start, then just send me a PM with the word INTUITION because I have a very special offer that will help you get in touch with yours ✨️??
