Before you begin your reading, make sure you have a tarot deck, a notebook, and a pen. Some people also like to have a candle or incense to set the mood.
Tip 2: Get to know your tarot deck
Familiarize yourself with the cards
Before you start doing readings, take some time to get familiar with the cards. Look at the images, read the booklet that comes with the deck, or research the meanings online.

A spread is the layout of cards used for a reading. There are many different spreads to choose from, such as the three-card spread, the Celtic cross, or the horseshoe spread.
Tip 4: Set Your Intention

Before you begin your reading, take a moment to focus on what you hope to gain from the experience. This could be guidance, clarity, or simply a deeper understanding of yourself.

Mix it up and ask a question
Once you've chosen your spread, shuffle the cards while thinking about your intention. You can also ask a question at this time, such as "What do I need to know about my career?"

Take your time and notice any emotions or thoughts
Once you've shuffled the cards, lay them out in the spread you've chosen. Take your time to look at each card and notice any emotions or thoughts that come to mind.
Tip 7: Interpret the Cards
Unlock the meaning of each card
The most important part of a tarot reading is interpreting the cards. Each card has a specific meaning and placement in the spread will give a certain significance to the cards.
