The Biddy Tarot Podcast: Tarot | Intuition | Empowerment

When I first started to read Tarot, I was just a fresh-faced 18 year old. By my early 20s, I was ready to start reading for other people but there was just one problem. I didn't look like most other Tarot readers, who were at least 20 years older than me! I had to figure out how I could still maintain credibility with my clients despite my age.

They say that the way to get powerful answers is to ask powerful questions. And that's certainly true of the Tarot. You see, asking the right questions in your Tarot readings is absolutely critical to discovering the right answers – answers that help you shape your future and manifest your goals and dreams.

That's what I'm going to cover in this episode of the Biddy Tarot Podcast. I'll discuss: Why yes/no questions limit the potential of the Tarot cards Why you need to get to the heart of the question for the best insights How to turn any question (even the most cringe-worthy ones!) into a powerful question for the Tarot Let's get into it…   Show Notes: TF2: Read Tarot with Confidence

When I first started learning to read Tarot, I was just itching to get my cards and do an actual Tarot reading for myself.

The Tarot is a powerful tool, but it isn’t a Magic 8 ball. While the Tarot cards offer guidance through difficult and challenging times, there are just some questions NOT to ask the Tarot.

Many would have you believe that Tarot is a complex, mysterious tool that can only be accessed by a select group of 'gifted' people, and only after years and years of study and practice. But in this Biddy Tarot Podcast episode, I want to throw that idea out the window.

Reading Tarot for yourself can be a powerful way of connecting with your inner wisdom and Divine guidance…. IF you know how to remain objective and keep an open mind.

As Tarot readers, we pride ourselves on being able to connect with our intuition when reading the Tarot cards. But are we really connecting with intuition, or simply seeing what we (or our clients) want to see in the cards?
