Frequently Asked Questions on Tarot Reading by Divine Monica Harsh

What will a tarot reading tell you?

A tarot reading gives you clarity and guidance about your life. It reflects your current energies, your subconscious thoughts, and the influences around you. Tarot doesn’t always give a direct “yes or no” answer; instead, it provides insightful direction, highlighting possible outcomes and helping you make empowered decisions. It tells you what you need to know rather than what you want to hear.



What is the science behind tarot reading?

While tarot may not be a conventional “science,” it works on the principle of energy, intuition, and symbolism. Every card carries an archetype or universal symbol that speaks to the subconscious mind. Psychologists like Carl Jung have referred to these as archetypes of the collective unconscious. When read correctly, tarot becomes a bridge between your inner intuition and outer reality.



Is it good to read tarot cards?

Yes, tarot can be very beneficial if done with the right intention. A tarot reading offers emotional support, mental clarity, and spiritual guidance. It helps you look at situations from a fresh perspective and encourages self-reflection. However, it should never be used for obsession, control, or fear.



What are tarot cards based on?

Tarot cards are based on ancient symbolism, archetypes, numerology, astrology, and spiritual wisdom. The traditional tarot deck contains 78 cards—22 Major Arcana (representing major life lessons) and 56 Minor Arcana (reflecting day-to-day experiences). Each card is a symbolic mirror of human life and universal truths.



Can tarot predict the future?

Tarot doesn’t “predict” the future in a fixed way. Instead, it shows you the most likely outcome based on your current choices, energy, and circumstances.

Tarot cards are not tied to any single religion. They originated in 14th-century Europe as playing cards and gradually evolved into spiritual tools. Today, people from different faiths use tarot for personal growth and guidance. Tarot is more about spiritual connection than religion.



Are tarot readings actually true?

When not to read Tarot cards?
