Tarot: Hope for Broken Hearts
We all know that many tarot consultations are about romantic relationships. Very often, what the cards show us about those relationships is not a pretty picture.
If you are a beginner at tarot reading you might find it hard to give bad news. If you have been reading tarot for a while you surely know that the querent already knows (or strongly suspects) whatever it is that you are about to tell them on the matter.
It is hard to be the bearer of bad news, it is even harder to hear people suffer over someone who clearly does not care for them anymore.
The cards can be used to identify different types of relationships. In this workshop, you will learn to read about relationships and deliver meaningful but tactful messages.
Feel Free Not to Comprehend the Tarot Reading: The Querent Will Get It Even if You Don’t
It is a common mistake to try to comprehend the querent´s situation as if we were part of it, but the truth is that we are not. As Tarot readers, our job is to give clarity, to answer the querents question as objectively as possible without getting involved or letting our feelings get in the way. Since the moment we are born, we are constantly interpreting our environment. As we get older, our interpretations will change according to our own life experiences, beliefs, states of mind, and maybe the planets around us. Everything we interpret with Tarot comes from our life experiences, therefore, the querent will connect through his own comprehension of his life situation. Two people living the same situation will most likely interpret it in different manners, so do not expect as a Tarot reader to understand the situation as the querent will.
