Tarot Card Reading – The Inside Story

Critics have done a fine job of painting tarot card readers as cheaters, conmen and as persons practicing dark magic. None of the tarot card readers I have come across have practiced any sort of black magic ever. Secondly there is no profession without cheaters. Take investment banking for example, we have had a long history of banking and investment frauds for centuries. The point is tarot isn't some sort of occult or sorcery; it is an art and a profession that can be mastered by practice and study. So before reading any further, get all the negative perceptions of this centuries old profession out of your mind.

The second biggest myth is that only gifted tarot card reader can do the exact reading. Well first of all there is no such thing as exact reading anyway, but we will talk about that in next paragraph. Coming to the earlier point, anyone with enough practice and knowledge can learn the art of tarot card reading. We see many talented singers around us; anyone can take up singing at any age. However not all of them make it to the top though they are talented likewise not all readers can make it to the top despite being talented. The truth acquiring card reading ability is though difficult not impossible hence anyone with a clear mind can learn this art.

Coming to the point of predicting exact reading, since tarot card reading is not an exact science it is not possible to provide with exact account of your future using the cards. This is an art that allows you to take a glimpse inside your future and a reader can provide you with hints and guidelines about the future developments that would be taking place in your life. Anyone claiming to predict the exact future with details like date, place and time etc. is most probably a cheater trying to swindle you out of your money. The truth is any professional tarot card reader will use optimum words to describe the outcome of your reading. He/ she will break the good or the bad news to you in carefully chosen words without changing its gravity or perception.

Tarot card readers offer advice and insights on a varied number of subjects ranging from career to love marriage reading. No matter the topic of consultation, you need to prepare yourself mentally before going for a read. I have seen many people get too emotional or too romantic and start fantasizing on the advice they just received. Being emotional distracts your mind leaving you prone to fantasizing the reading. This fantasizing will not only create problems for you but also tarnish the reputation of a professional reader.     

There is no standard system on how to charge any customer in this profession. Some readers will charge on hourly basis while some will charge a flat fee for a fixed number of sittings. Fees will also depend on the topic of reading since topics like love marriage reading require reading more than one person. Secondly fee will also depend on whether it is phone reading or personal sitting etc. If you feel that your tarot card reader is asking for too much money periodically then you should immediately stop seeing him/ her. Usually cheaters use lines like tarot shows you are cursed or someone is trying to hurt you and so on. The truth is all these taglines are nothing but schemes to capitalize on your emotions to extort money from you, something a professional would never do.

Truth be told, there is nothing mystical or magical about tarot card reading or the persons who do it. Unfortunately there are people who claim to be the gifted ones and capitalize on the emotions of their customers. but there are also professionals that work honestly and go out of their way advice their customers on issues where conventional methods fail.
