When most people think of Tarot, they imagine a dark room, a mysterious fortune-teller, and a scary card foretelling doom. They often approach the deck with one core, anxious question: "What will happen to me?"
While the Tarot is a powerful tool for seeing potential outcomes, relying solely on fortune-telling removes your power. It treats you as a passive passenger in your own life. At The Merry Medium, I teach that Tarot is not about predicting a fixed future; it's about reflecting your present energy and showing you the most likely path if you continue on your current course. Empowerment is choosing and owning it.
As a Tarot Reader for over four decades, I know the real magic of the cards lies in helping you make better decisions today.
The Merry Medium Approach: Tarot as a Mirror
Tarot is best used as an incredibly insightful mirror. When you pull a card, it doesn't just show you the world; it shows you your current perspective, your subconscious barriers, and the inner resources you already possess.
The key to a practical, modern reading is asking a powerful question. A powerful question focuses on choice, action, and perspective, not just outcome.
Here are the three most powerful questions I recommend clients ask to tap into the practical wisdom of the Tarot:
1. The Present Perspective Question
Instead of: "Will I get the job?" Ask: "What perspective do I need to adopt to show up as my highest self in this interview?"
This directs the energy of the card back to you and your actions. If you draw the Knight of Swords, the guidance isn't "You will charge forward." It’s: "You need to bring focused, direct energy and clear communication to this situation."
2. The Choice Clarification Question
Instead of: "Should I choose A or B?" Ask: "If I commit fully to Choice A, what is the core emotional lesson I am here to learn?" (Then repeat for Choice B).
This is fantastic for Law of Attraction work. Since your emotions shape your reality, understanding the emotional vibration of a potential path—rather than just the superficial outcome—allows you to align your energy before committing. The cards reveal the inner landscape of your choices.
3. The Resource & Self-Care Question
Instead of: "When will my problem end?" Ask: "What internal resource, gift, or strength am I currently overlooking that can help me navigate this challenge?"
This question immediately brings the focus to Vibrant Vitality and self-empowerment. If you draw the Strength card, the answer is not "Wait for strength to arrive." The answer is: "You already possess the quiet, resilient inner strength to handle this. Draw upon it now."
Your Journey, Your Deck
The Tarot is a supportive, joyful tool, and using it in this modern, practical way turns a reading into an empowering coaching session. It reinforces the idea that you are the conscious creator of your life.
