Set the mood:\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

The first and foremost step in a serenity tarot card reading you should not miss is setting an intent or mood.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Creating a calm and peaceful atmosphere by lighting candles or incense, playing soft music, or finding a quiet place to sit is the way to do it. Keeping your surroundings clean is as necessary as keeping your headspace free. For example, imagine you had a quarrel with your family member before the session, and you are still thinking about it during the session this way, you are only attracting negative energy towards you, affecting your reading.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Also, before starting your tarot card reading session<\/strong><\/a><\/span>, don’t forget to cleanse your cards. This is because your cards may still carry the energy from the previous reading, which may affect the reading session you are about to perform.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"setting<\/p>\n

Choose a spread:<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

The next step in the tarot card reading astrology is choosing a spread. If you are yet to learn what choosing a spread in tarot reading means, we have come to your rescue. In simpler words, a tarot spread means choosing a blueprint or layout for your reading. You might be mistaken if you think there is a single way defined in tarot reading for spreading your cards. Luckily, there are multiple ways to lay your cards.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A popular spread for serenity readings is the 3-card spread, representing the past, present, and future. If you are not comfortable in a 3-card spread, try pulling a single card and diving deep into what the cards represent.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Choose<\/p>\n

Focus your intention:<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

The most important part of this process is to set your intent.\u00a0Take a few deep breaths and state your intention for the reading, for example, “I am seeking peace and serenity.” Set your mind free by removing all the unnecessary thoughts. Now focus on the feeling you get while setting your intention. This step is done to set a connection between you and the cards. Also, this step acts as a guide or a path on which your entire reading will be focused.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Focus<\/p>\n

Shuffle the deck:<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Now that you have focused your intention, now is the time to start the process.\u00a0Shuffle the tarot deck until you feel a connection with the cards. Again, there is never a right or a wrong way to shuffle cards. However, if you are a beginner, you may need to practice a certain method. <\/span><\/p>\n

You can adopt several methods in your tarot reading process, such as the Insertion method, cut the deck and scrambling method. Once you get comfortable and attain experience, you can develop your own method of shuffling the cards. All you have to do is to focus on your intention.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The next card denotes your present situation. You may have experienced something in the past but still are facing its aftereffects. And the future card represents the events that may happen in future.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"choosing<\/p>\n

Interpret the cards:<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

Look at each card’s meaning and symbolism, and consider how it relates to the position it is in. Then, focus on the message the cards are giving to you and how they can bring peace and serenity to your life. For example, if you get the card ‘wands’, it means you are about to face new beginnings and growth in your life. Also, you can keep an interpretation book for tarot cards for beginners. This book will tell you how to read tarot cards for beginners.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Keeping a tarot journal would enhance your skills. Moreover, you can get the chance to learn from your past mistakes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
