How to Choose the Right Tarot Reader for You

How to Choose the Right Tarot Reader for You

Why Does It Matter Who Reads Your Cards?

Because tarot is personal. You’re sharing your energy, your questions, and often your emotions.
The right reader will help you feel seen, supported, and grounded — not confused, judged, or sold to.

Your connection with the reader affects how open and powerful the reading becomes.


What Should I Look for in a Tarot Reader?

Here are five key signs:

  1. They read from clarity, not ego — no theatrics or fear tactics

  2. They listen to you — not just read at you

  3. They offer interpretation, not control

  4. They’re grounded — not vague or overly abstract

  5. You feel safe with them — even before the reading starts

If something feels off, trust your gut. There’s no one-size-fits-all tarot style.


Should I Look for a Certain Style?

That depends on what you want:

  • Do you prefer intuitive readings or structured spreads?

  • Do you want reflection, direction, or energetic clearing?

  • Are you drawn to emotional depth or symbolic interpretation?

Some readers blend modalities. Some focus purely on cards. Look for someone whose style matches your needs — not just their Instagram aesthetic.


What Questions Should I Ask Before Booking?

You can ask:

  • What is your reading style?

  • Do you specialize in certain topics?

  • What happens during a session?

  • What’s your goal for a client during a reading?

A good reader will answer clearly — without being defensive or vague.


How Do I Know I’ve Found the Right Reader?

You’ll feel it in your body. You’ll feel safe, seen, and centered — even if the messages are challenging.
The right reader won’t just tell you what’s happening — they’ll help you understand why and what you can do next.

How a Tarot Reading Can Help You Make Decisions
How a Tarot Reading Can Help You Make Decisions

by Jeffrey Goldstein August 21, 2025

Can Tarot Really Help Me Make a Decision?

Yes — but not by telling you what to do.

A tarot reading won’t say “Take the job” or “Leave the relationship.” Instead, it shows you:

  • What’s influencing you

  • What fears or desires are present

  • What energy surrounds each option

  • What you’re not seeing clearly

The goal isn’t control — it’s clarity.


Why Is It So Hard to Decide?

Because decisions are rarely just logical.
They’re emotional. Energetic. Tied to identity and fear. Sometimes you're not choosing between Option A and B — you're choosing between comfort and growth, fear and freedom.

Tarot helps you name the real decision behind the surface one.


What Kinds of Questions Can I Ask?

Instead of asking:

Should I do this or not?

Try:

  • What is the energy surrounding this opportunity?

  • What lesson is present in this decision?

  • What will I learn if I choose this path?

  • What am I avoiding in making this choice?

These open questions give the cards space to speak honestly.


What Will the Cards Show?

The cards reflect what’s already happening inside you — your resistance, your longing, your truth. A good reading won’t push you. It will help you recognize the path you already feel but haven’t fully claimed.

Sometimes, you’ll hear what you already knew. That’s confirmation. And that’s powerful.


Want Help Seeing Clearly?

✨ I offer intuitive, honest tarot readings designed to help you cut through confusion, reconnect to your intuition, and make decisions with confidence.
