Do: Research your reader

If you want to get a professional tarot reading, then you should research the person you’re planning on getting a reading from beforehand. You’ll first want to make sure you feel safe and comfortable enough with your tarot reader to give them your questions (especially if they’re personal ones).

You’ll also want to make sure that their style of reading is what you’re looking for. Do you want practical advice? A very open-ended interpretation? Are you a total beginner or do you want someone who won’t completely guide you through the reading? These are all just a few questions you should consider when looking for a tarot reader.

Don’t: Ask unanswerable questions

If you want your tarot reader to predict the future, tell you exactly what’s going to happen when, or give you all the answers right away, you shouldn’t be getting a tarot reading at all. The tarot reader can’t fix your love life, your financials, or your career just by pulling a few cards. The idea behind tarot is that you can utilize what the cards tell you to make practical decisions.

See a card that’s warning you of financial pitfalls? Maybe it’s time to reexamine your savings accounts. Notice the cards are telling you there might be obstacles in your romantic life? You should try spending more time with your partner and having open, honest conversations with them. If you’re approaching your tarot reader with questions like, “When will I get my promotion?” or “When and how will my partner propose?” you’re in the wrong spot.

Do: Feel free to tell your reader what you want advice on

If you’re looking for something specific during your tarot session, you can let the reader know and see what they have to say. Though there are some questions that just can’t be answered, that doesn’t mean that you can’t receive advice on a specific issue in your life.

You might want advice pertaining to your financials or your professional career. Maybe you want to assess something that’s been bothering you or get a peek into your subconscious mind. These are things the cards can help with, but it will also help your tarot reader to know that this is what you want information on.

Don’t: Argue with the reader

If you’re not prepared to potentially pull negative tarot cards, then you shouldn’t get a tarot reading. Negative cards don’t always need to have a horrible, disastrous interpretation – but sometimes, you’re going to pull them anyway.

A good tarot reader may be able to find multiple interpretations for these cards that can better apply to your life. But you have to acknowledge and accept that sometimes, your reading might have things to say that aren’t all positive. If you get this type of reading, there’s no use in arguing with the tarot reader about it.

The same thing goes for the boundaries and rules the tarot reader sets. If they don’t want to answer a certain question of yours or feel like they can’t give you advice on a particular subject, it’s not your place to argue with them. You can always find a different reader or just ask a different question.

Do: Act on your reading

Tarot cards are meant to inspire change, not solidify your future. If you’ve received some negative tarot cards, it might be time to change your actions and reframe your thinking. This can help you change your current situation for the better.

Tarot cards will bring awareness to the things in your life you’re struggling with. They might pull issues that only your subconscious can recognize or that you just haven’t processed with. You might already know you have obstacles you need to deal with. Maybe you’re just wondering what to prioritize first.

The tarot reader and their deck can help you leave understanding your reading and with a sense of direction on what to do next. Tarot cards cannot take away your free will; you can act in ways that will secure you a positive, happy future. So, even if you receive a reading that is on the negative side, take action: allow the cards to guide you towards growth and positive change.

A few times in which you might choose to clean your tarot cards could be after someone else has used them, during a full moon, after they have reached a certain number of uses, or when you feel disconnected from your cards.

Certain cleansing practices are considered ‘closed’ practices, which means that they are culturally or spiritually significant, and you shouldn’t practice them if you don’t belong to the closed practice. However, tarot itself is an open practice – anyone can do it – and there are plenty of ways to clean your tarot cards that you can complete no matter what the tarot cards mean to you.

Saying a mantra while shuffling the deck

You may choose to reset your tarot deck by stating your intentions while reshuffling it. Touch each of the cards and repeat an affirmation, say a personal mantra, or simply think or speak about cleansing the deck as you shuffle it.

Do this when you feel full of positive energy and hope. Imbue your energy and state of mind into the cards as you shuffle or touch each one of them. Imagine all of the negative energy leaving the cards as you cleanse them with your positive energy.

Burning a candle or incense

If you have a favorite candle or type of incense that smells good to you, you may want to burn it in order to cleanse your tarot cards. Smoke cleansing is an open practice and is perfectly appropriate for you; it usually involves burning incense, herbs, or a candle, and steering the smoke towards the cards, leaving the cards in an inclosed space with the smoke, or fanning the smoke over both sides of the tarot cards.

Be careful with this method, as you don’t want to get soot on your tarot deck. Note that you are practicing smoke cleansing, not smudging – and if you’re planning on burning herbs, never use white sage. Both of these things are closed practices, whereas smoke cleansing is an open one!

Leave the deck under the light of the moon

The moon is known to recharge energy, and you might have heard of many people leaving their crystals out under a full moon to recharge. You can do the same thing with your tarot deck. A full moon is usually best because it signifies new beginnings, new energy, and is considered to be most powerful. But you can leave your tarot deck under any kind of moonlight if you need an emergency cleansing.

If you choose to cleanse your tarot deck this way, you may decide to leave your tarot cards out under the light of the moon every cycle of the full moon. You might also opt for leaving it out during astrological events like a harvest moon, a blue moon, or a strawberry moon; this can imbue even more energy into your deck and prepare it for the season ahead.

You can leave your tarot cards outside under the light of the moon as long as they’re in a safe place, but this isn’t necessary. Your cards can receive all the light they need from inside the home as long as they’re in an area that receives moonlight.

Maybe there’s a card that you can’t stop pulling or one that stands out to you more than the rest. If you’re having trouble figuring out why this card keeps coming to you, there are a few reasons you might be pulling the same card again…and again…and again.

You haven’t learned its lesson

One clear reason for a tarot card to consistently reappear is if you’re ignoring it or misinterpreting it. Tarot cards appear to offer you advice; they allow you to make positive changes regarding your present situation. Sometimes they tell you you’re on the right path – other times there are things they want you to work on or change. The tricky part about all this is that there are many different interpretations for each card; you might think a card is warning you about your finances when really it wants you to pay attention to your relationship, or maybe you’re trying to ignore a card you think is a bad omen when really it’s just telling you to do some shadow work.

If you’ve been receiving a tarot card frequently, you should think up every possible meaning you can interpret from it in one session. Ask clarifying questions to see what it might mean; you can pull additional cards to try to understand what the original card is telling you. There may be multiple areas of your life where this card applies; if that’s the case, you may want to work on all of those areas and see if the card agrees with your work.

It’s closely connected to you

Receiving the same card over and over again isn’t usually a bad sign. It might just mean that you’re closely connected to the tarot card in some way.

Is the tarot card you’re pulling frequently actually your birth tarot card? Does it relate to your zodiac sign or your sun sign’s element? What about your ruling planet? Does it mean something to you symbolically or emotionally – for example, do you feel hopeful each time you see the Star card, or are you a spiritual person who adores the Moon?

These tarot cards can sometimes have personal meanings rather than exclusively what is on the card. Sometimes, people will find individual meanings within cards that appear frequently to them – especially if they are their birth card or significant to them in some other way. If this is the case, a tarot card may merely be reappearing to you to signify positivity, hopefulness, reassurance, faith, guidance, or just that you’re doing something right. You can consider these cards like guardian angels, appearing to you when you need them.

You fear it

This might sound strange, but if there are certain tarot cards that you’re afraid to receive, you might notice them more often. Your energy can affect the deck, and your inner fear of receiving a particular card might actually be saying that there’s something within yourself that you’re scared of working on. In that case, of course the tarot deck will want to present you with that card more and more often – it wants to guide you.

Some tarot cards that are sometimes negatively perceived by many can include cards like Death, the Devil, or the Ten of Swords. The more you resist a certain card, the more you may unintentionally attract it.

But there are many meanings to any tarot card. Death can represent positive changes and new beginnings. The Devil can represent self-care and indulgence. The Ten of Swords can be about accepting major life changes. A tarot card may not be reappearing to you to constantly signify something negative; if you believe this to be true, you may just be struggling with confirmation bias. Look for a different meaning when this card reappears to you. Is there emotional work you can be doing? Inner reflections you’ve been grappling with? Something in your life you genuinely want to change? Take these kinds of cards as signs that hard work creates the ultimate positive change. When you learn to understand and apply them rather than fear them, you probably won’t pull them as often.

This month could be a good month for tarot readings, Gemini. Whether you’re planning on reading the cards yourself or asking someone else for a reading, there’s a lot you can learn about yourself (and maybe even your future) from the suits.

As someone with a wide array of hobbies, interests, and passions, you might have several issues on your mind you want to receive advice on. When it comes to your monthly horoscope, your sign is likely to enjoy abundance and positive opportunities this month, which also makes it a good time to look to tarot cards for more information and advice. The cards are there to help you assess your current situation and opportunities, which might help you understand your true desires and best interests when it comes to the decisions you’ll have to make later this month.

Leo

You’re about to have a busy and inspired month, Leo. If you want new motivation (and maybe a little help interpreting certain ideas), a tarot deck is the place to look. Because of your passion for creativity, you’d be good at coming up with different interpretations of the cards you pull to suit your life. You may choose to pull cards without a question in mind, so you can receive the advice of the tarot deck as it pertains to everything in your current situation. But if you want to leave a little less room for interpretation, there may be specific issues this month – like your finances or a new creative opportunity – that you want to seek advice on. This makes September a perfect month for you to look into getting a tarot reading if you’re not already a regular querent.

Libra

This month has a lot in store for you, Libra, and you may notice that September is all about changes that will promote new growth later on. Though your sign is likely to enjoy positive experience that you get to bask in right away, some obstacles you face this month won’t give you any clarity until later. This is where tarot cards can help; not only can they help you understand more about the challenges you’re going through, they can also help you assess where you’re at right now.

Though tarot won’t predict your future for you, it can give you a clearer interpretation of your subconscious and your inner thoughts. There are always a few things you need to be on the lookout for, Libra, whether that’s protecting your own boundaries or preventing social burnout, and tarot cards can help you be aware of your current state so that you can better aid your future self.

The post 3 Zodiac Signs Who Should Turn To Tarot For Guidance This Month appeared first on ZodiacHelps.

February

People born in February are stubborn. If they want something, they aren’t going to rest until they get it. They have high standards in every area of their life, including relationships. If someone isn’t fulfilling their needs, they would rather be alone. They are confident they can take care of themselves, so they don’t need a partner. They will only date someone if that person enhances their life, if they make their world brighter. They don’t see the point in one-sided relationships where they are giving more than they receive. The only way they would date someone is if that person meets their expectations (or goes above and beyond).

April

People born in April aren’t shy about stating their honest opinion. If you aren’t rising to their standards, then they’re going to call you out on it. They’re going to make it clear that they expect more from you. And if you aren’t willing to rise to their expectations, they will walk out the door with no hard feelings. They understand if you aren’t able to give them what they need because, honestly, they need a lot. But they won’t apologize for having such high standards. They know their worth. They know they deserve to be spoiled rotten, and they’re going to stay single until they find someone willing to do that for them.

June

People born in June want to feel like they’re appreciated. After all, they have so many options because they are social butterflies who can get along with anyone. So many people are drawn to them that it can be hard to decide who to choose as a partner. They aren’t going to settle down with someone unless that person makes it clear they are willing to put in the effort. Of course, people born in June are hard workers too. They are going to give just as much as they receive, but they refuse to be in a one-sided relationship. If they’re going to do the work, their partner better be doing just as much. They know their worth, so they aren’t going to settle for anything less than the best.

August

People born during August expect the best from themselves — and from their partners. They aren’t willing to settle in any area of life, whether it’s with their career, their friendships, or their relationships. So if you want to date them, you’re going to have to increase the amount of effort you’re putting into loving them. You’re going to have to go above and beyond to make sure they feel wanted and appreciated. If you don’t reach their expectations, then they have no problem with walking away. They would rather stay single and flirt around than be in a relationship where they feel like their needs aren’t being met. They aren’t afraid of the single life, which is why they never hesitate to raise their standards so high.

Leo has a bad habit of searching for external validation in their relationships. But lately, they’ve liked their solitude and don’t mind being alone. They’ve been getting to know themselves again and learning the art of attracting rather than chasing. They’re always open to a new potential love, but they’re not deliberately searching for it anymore. And that’s what’ll get them one step closer to the healthiest love they could have.

2.      Pisces

Pisces tend to have an idealized version of what they want in a partner. And that hasn’t necessarily worked out in their relationships. But lately, they’ve been rethinking their approach to love and questioning whether a perfect partner is who they need. This sense of awareness is what will lead them to someone who’ll exceed their expectations.

3.      Gemini

Geminis have had their fair share of toxic relationships. But lately, they’ve been learning how to look inward and understand themselves more. They’ve stopped chasing emotionally unavailable partners and suitors who aren’t interested. They’ve learned how to detach from the outcome and trust that what’s for them will be theirs. And that is what will lead them to someone they’ve always dreamt of.

4.      Aries

Aries tend to give their all in relationships. But lately, they’ve learned how to be more aware and understand the fact that not everyone deserves access to their energy. They’re learning how to be more selective in who they give their time and attention to, and that’s what will lead them to someone who will give back all of their love tenfold.

5.      Cancer

Cancer deserves healthy love because they give their entire selves in relationships. And lately, they’ve learned how to assert their boundaries and get to know what they want. They’ve been learning how to say no without feeling guilty and prioritizing themselves as much as others. This is what will lead them to a relationship that won’t only reciprocate their love but will also let them bask in it.

Aquarius is the master of emotional distancing. They value their independence and intellect so much that they sometimes forget relationships require emotional reciprocity. While they can be sometimes loyal, they tend to prioritize their personal interests and ideals over their partner’s emotional needs. If you’re looking for constant affection, good luck cracking their cool, detached exterior.

Gemini

Gemini’s love life is a whirlwind of excitement, spontaneity, and, well… inconsistency. They might say they’re all in, but their actions often tell a different story. One day, they’re sending you paragraphs about how much they adore you, and the next, they’ve disappeared into a rabbit hole of whatever shiny new distraction catches their eye. They don’t mean to be unreliable—it’s just that their need for variety and entertainment often takes precedence over actually showing up for their partner. If there’s a choice between a deep heart-to-heart or a last-minute invite to a rooftop party, don’t be surprised when you get a “Sorry, rain check?” text.

Aries

Aries charges ahead with what they want, often without stopping to check if their partner is on the same page. They crave excitement, independence, and constant stimulation, which can make them overlook their partner’s emotional needs. If they feel held back, they won’t hesitate to prioritize themselves—sometimes leaving their partner scrambling to keep up. Patience isn’t their strong suit; Aries wants things now, and if their partner isn’t matching their energy, frustration kicks in fast. Relationships with Aries can feel like a high-speed chase—exhilarating, unpredictable, and exhausting if you’re always the one trying to keep up

ProTip: the way a person gives love is often the way they wish to receive it. By paying careful attention how a person expresses their affection, you can predict the best way to please them. For instance, someone who is always running errands and doing chores for their significant other will greatly appreciate it when you pick them up their favorite latte or drop off a package for the at the post office.

If you’re looking for love, think about your own love language, then check out the zodiacs who speak it!

Aries: Quality Time

Aries needs to be number one in their partner’s affections. Therefore, spending quality time with the Ram will quickly bring down their defenses. This is especially true if you join this zodiac on their favorite activities like playing sports, riding motorbikes, taking power walks, and checking out the latest hotspots.

Taurus: Receiving Gifts

Ruled by voluptuous Venus, the Bull’s favorite way of experiencing love is to receive gifts. Any present that engages this sign’s senses will get an enthusiastic response. A bottle of fragrance, gourmet chocolate, luxury bath towels, a set of windchimes, or a beautiful piece of jewelry are among the possibilities.

Gemini: Words of Affirmation

The best way to reach Gemini’s heart is by articulating your feelings. Don’t assume this zodiac intuits how you feel—tell them. If you express your emotions through song or poetry, so much the better. Sweet love notes and passionate emails, voicemails, and texts will also get a great reception from this intellectual zodiac.

Cancer: Physical Touch

The best way to communicate love to the Crab is through physical touch. Cancer is symbolized by a creature whose soft insides are surrounded by a hard shell. Although this zodiac can seem crabby and distant at times, they secretly want to let down their defenses and be continually caressed, cuddled, and kissed.

Leo: Acts of Service

Regal Leo adores acts of service being performed on their behalf. The best way to win this zodiac’s heart is to make them a delicious meal, take a dreaded chore off their shoulders, give them a massage—or all three! Doing these acts with a bit of fanfare is strongly advised, as Lions also adore ceremony.

Virgo: Physical Touch

Cerebral Virgo’s brain is always going at a mile a minute. What many people forget is that this thoughtful zodiac is an Earth sign, which is extremely physical. The best way to show affection to the Virgin is through touch. Draw them in for a hug, nuzzle their ears with your lips, kiss the palms of their hands, and rake your fingers through their hair.

Libra: Receiving Gifts

Tasteful Libra feel that gifts are tangible manifestations of love and affection. And while this zodiac undeniably wants precious objects that symbolize refinement, they also value the time and effort that goes into choosing their gifts. Keeping track of their favorite stores, designers, styles, and artists will be very helpful when picking presents (and expressing love) for Libra.

Scorpio : Quality Time

Intense Scorpio wants to be their partner’s sole focus. Spending quality time together is the best way to express adoration for this zodiac. Candlelit dinners for two, walks on the beach, games that involve asking each other deep questions, prolonged lovemaking with lots of eye contact, and taking up a shared hobby are all good expressions of love for Scorpions.

Sagittarius : Words of Affirmation

The upbeat Archer may seem endlessly optimistic, but the truth is they need others to keep the wind in their sails. Words of affirmation make this zodiac feel loved and appreciated. Demonstrate your love for Sagittarius by telling them, “You’re my favorite person in the world,” “I can’t get enough of your smile,” “Life feels better when you’re around,” and “You look so sexy in those pants!”

Capricorn: Physical Touch

Tactile Capricorn prefers nonverbal expressions of love like physical affection. The Goat places great importance on hugging, kissing, holding hands, having sex, and touching feet beneath the table. Even if this zodiac disapproves of public displays of affection, that will totally change when the two of you are alone. Sleeping entwined in their lover’s arms is a real turn-on for this zodiac.

Aquarius: Acts of Service

When it comes to love, actions speak louder than words for Aquarius. Good ways to express your devotion for the Water-bearer include making breakfast in the morning, filling their car with gas, planning a weekend getaway, unpacking their suitcase after a trip, and picking up their prescription from the pharmacy. Showing consideration for this zodiac’s needs makes them feel loved and cherished.

Pisces: Quality Time

Pisces have a profound urge to merge with the object of their affection. That’s why their love language is spending quality time together. When demonstrating your devotion to Pisces, turn off your phone. Gaze into their eyes. Express an interest how they feel and what they want. Above all, encourage this zodiac to discuss their heartfelt dreams and desires, then talk about how life will be when you realize these goals together.

Taurus

Taurus, you always want to stick to your routine because there’s comfort in familiarity. You like knowing what you’re going to get, even if you aren’t entirely thrilled with what you’re getting. Although the thought of taking that next step with your partner excites you, it also scares the hell out of you. You’re terrified that the dynamic between you is going to change, that you are going to end up regretting your decision soon. But love is about risks. You need to be brave and take a chance on your partner, and on yourself, if you feel like you’re in the right relationship. There’s always a chance you could get hurt or that your decision could backfire on you, but that’s a risk you need to take if you want a real, committed relationship.

Aries

You would never admit that you’re scared out loud because you want everyone to think of you as bold and fearless. However, you have been on your own for so long that the idea of taking the next step with this person terrifies you. You know you can handle life on your own. You know you don’t need another person in order to feel fulfilled. So it’s tempting to throw away this whole relationship and protect your heart by isolating it. Of course, if you know that this person is right for you, you would never want to put them through that type of heartbreak. You don’t want to go through that heartbreak yourself either. Although you aren’t used to sharing everything with another person, and thinking so selflessly, you need to challenge yourself to change if you really think this person is worth it.

Scorpio

Even though you love your partner and trust your partner, you can’t stop your pessimistic thoughts from invading. There’s a part of you that feels like you’re being tricked, like you’re going to wake up one morning and realize that this person was horrible for you after all. But that’s your cynicism talking. It might be hard to accept how well your partner treats you because you’ve been treated so horribly in the past, but you can’t blame this person for what exes and old flames have put you through. This is a fresh start. This isn’t a repeat of history. If you believe this person is worth your effort, then you need to push past your fears and open your heart up to them completely. No half measures.
