Tarot is more than just a deck of cards—it’s a tool for introspection, clarity, and self-empowerment. At Dear Universe Apothecary, we believe that tarot readings can guide you through life’s uncertainties, helping you connect with your inner wisdom and the universe’s energy.
Whether you’re new to tarot or looking to deepen your practice, this beginner-friendly guide will show you how to use tarot for clarity and guidance in your everyday life.
1. What is Tarot, and How Does it Work?
Tarot is a deck of 78 cards, each with unique meanings and symbolism. It’s not about predicting the future—it’s about reflecting on your current energy and offering insights to help you make empowered decisions.
✨ Think of it as a mirror for your soul.
2. Choosing Your First Tarot Deck
There are countless tarot decks available, but here are a few tips for picking the right one:
- Go with a deck that resonates with you visually and emotionally.
- A classic choice is the Rider-Waite Tarot Deck, great for beginners.
- At Dear Universe, we can help you find a deck that aligns with your energy and goals.
3. How to Prepare for a Tarot Reading
Before diving into a reading, it’s essential to create the right mindset and environment:
1. Clear Your Space
Use sage, palo santo, or a cleansing herb bundle to clear negative energy from your space.
2. Set an Intention
Ask yourself: What do I want clarity on? This could be a question, a decision, or even general guidance.
3. Ground Yourself
Hold a grounding crystal like black tourmaline or smoky quartz and take a few deep breaths to center your energy.
4. Simple Tarot Spreads for Beginners
Start with these easy spreads to build your confidence:

5. Interpreting the Cards
Each tarot card has a specific meaning, but it’s equally important to trust your intuition. Here are a few tips:

7. Common Misconceptions About Tarot
- It’s not fortune-telling: Tarot reflects your energy and helps you understand your current path.
