Since we humans can’t readily see our, “own stuff,” that blocks us in life, a Tarot reading is beneficial, in that, it serves as a mirror, to show us what we aren’t seeing, about our personal situations. There are a plethora of Tarot Readers out there, but when seeking a Tarot reading, it’s important to know that Tarot Readers are truly not, “One Size Fits All.”
As a consumer of Tarot readings, or Querent, you may find you connect with one particular type, more than another. A seasoned Tarot Reader, knows what type of Reader, or combination of Reader, they are. Optimally, they will pronounce their personal reading style, for Querents to know, what to expect from their readings.
Below, I’ve defined a few of the main identified types of Tarot Readers.
Types of Tarot Readers
- Psychic Tarot Reader
- Intuitive Tarot Reader
- Technical Tarot Reader
- Life Coach Tarot Reader
- Holistic Tarot Reader
- Therapist Tarot Reader
Psychic Tarot Reader – A Psychic Tarot Reader, has a remarkable gift of seeing facts, they couldn’t have known, about events past, present, and future with crystal clear accuracy without the aid of the Tarot cards, or even a reading question (what the Querent wants to know).
They aren’t actually reading the cards, they are basically just using them for a prop; something to hold the Querent’s attention, or something just to occupy their own hands. Many Psychic Readers have confessed they haven’t even bothered to learn the card meanings. Instead, they rely 100% on their psychic impressions, and messages received from disembodied spirits, such as Spirit Guides, and/or the Querent’s deceased loved ones.
Authentic Psychic Readers do exist, but they are rare, and some self-professed Psychic Readers may be disingenuous. It would be easy to fake facts given about a currently unknown future.
Intuitive Tarot Reader – An Intuitive Tarot Reader, also has a gift of seeing what they couldn’t have known, but on a smaller scale from the Psychic Tarot Reader’s. The Intuitive Tarot Reader does require a reading question from the Querent, and unlike the Psychic Reader, actually does read the Tarot cards in reference to the question.
Intuitive Readers have learned the meaning of the cards, but also receive intuitive hits from some cards, in a reading. Therefore, they’ve developed a reading style that is a fusion of traditional card meanings and their own intuitive meanings.
The Empathic Tarot Reader is a hybrid of the Intuitive Reader who specializes in picking up the emotional and physical issues of the Querent, and others around them, related to their situation. They are best suited for relationship and health type readings. Note: due to liability, many Readers refrain from giving medical readings.
Technical Tarot Reader – A Technical Tarot Reader, reads the cards predominately using the historically correct card meanings, rather than intuitive meanings. They are also well versed in, and utilize the esoteric systems that go along with historical Tarot, e.g., the Kabbalah, and the Golden Dawn. They are very much a “by the long held rules” Reader.
Life Coach Tarot Reader – A Life Coach Tarot Reader, is any type of Reader who also, without fail, offers advice and action steps to the Querent, to move forward in their situation, in order to create their best outcome. This type of Reader, has acquired a great deal of knowledge and experience in various areas. e.g., education, career, business, finances, relationships, philosophy, Life’s Purpose, and Spirituality.
Additionally, the Life Coach Reader, utilizes the Law of Attraction (LOA) manifesting tools. to aid Querents in achieving their goals, for the life they want to live.
A Spiritual Life Coach Tarot Reader, is a hybrid of the Life Coach Reader ,who specializes in Spirituality, Spiritual Path, and Life’s Purpose type readings.
Holistic Tarot Reader – A Holistic Tarot Reader, is any type of Reader who includes other modalities, such as Crystal Therapy, Astrology, Numerology, Hypnotherapy, Reiki, etc. These modalities lend themselves quite well to Tarot reading, and offer an added value for the Querent.
The Therapist Reader will call attention to a reading card’s scenery, and action taking place, asking the Querent what they pick up from the card, or what the card means to them. The emphasis here is on self-discovery, and many of these Readers are actually professional Counselors, using the Tarot as a tool for their counseling Clients.
Choose Your Tarot Reader, Wisely
If you’ve received multiple Tarot readings from different Readers, you may have realized that you liked some of your Readers, more than others. This is probably partly due to their individual reading style.
Hopefully, after perusing the list of Readers defined above, you’ve identified the type(s) of Tarot Reader you prefer. With this knowledge you will be able to discern if a Reader is right for you, simply by a description of their reading style. If their reading style is not posted on their marketing materials, website, Facebook page, etc., then just ask them.
Of course, its also advisable to check out a Reader’s reviews, and if possible, get a referral to a Reader from someone you know and trust. My sincere hope is, that the information provided in this blog post, will aid you in finding your ideal Tarot Reader. Best of luck on your Journey!
