A recent survey by the American Tarot Association found that over two-thirds of tarot readers use psychic spreads during readings. Spreads are sets or patterns of cards laid from a tarot deck during a reading or daily practice, formed after the cards. The way tarot cards are spread depends on the information you are trying to find, such as financial situation insight or personal development guidance.
Tarot spreads can be divided into three types: past-present-future, situation-obstacle-advice/outcome, and mind-body-spirit. A 10-card spread is designed to answer whether you’re ready to develop your psychic ability. A short 4-card tarot spread helps identify what’s currently holding you back from fully exploring your psychic abilities. Tarot, psychic, or other divination readings must include a tangible good, such as photos of the tarot spread, audio/video of a reading, or text of the reading.
To determine if a psychic is real and how accurate the tarot cards are, a short 4-card spread can help you find out. Beginner tips and exercises for interpreting the cards, as well as advice on reading the cards for yourself, are available.
In conclusion, tarot spreads play a crucial role in helping readers explore and develop their psychic abilities. Starting with simpler spreads and working your way up can help you become more confident in your abilities.

📹 DEVELOP PSYCHIC ABILITIES WITH TAROT (Six practices I use to READ TAROT INTUITIVELY)
PSYCHIC SKILLS AND INTUITION – Reading Tarot Intuitively – In this video I review several practices I use …
I have had many clients tear up over my readings. I remember one time i was reading for a woman who was struggling with grieving. I was reading with the mystic tarot that shows apollo stood before some pillars bathed in rays of sunlight on the sun card. I drew this card for her and i instinctively said this card is very important to you. She burst into tears nodding her head. Her son had passed away and a week earlier she had seen the outline of her son in some sunlight shining through her kitchen window. She took it as a sign he had come to tell her he was okay and in a good place and it helped her a lot.
i did a reading for a close friend the other day with zero prior knowledge about the situation she wanted a reading about and after i finished the reading, she was in tears. i did a reading for someone else the day before and they said my reading brought them to tears as well. moments like those show you just how powerful tarot can be. i love doing tarot because i love helping and empowering my clients.
My ever ever 1st reading session of 4hours for 2 friends…. it was a yes/no reading card. She asked if her biggest desire will come to reality. I pulled a 13 yeses cards but I also felt/saw what her desires was about. I told her “I see something, Im not sure if I cant tell you because its your secret and theres 3 of us in the room”… she laughed and told me to say it. “I see an unborn baby in a womb. The energy is making me feel that the baby is telling you that its very patient with you and cannot wait to meet you. The baby is a boy and is telling you to not worry about whats going on in your life, that no matter what he is going to wait for you to be ready but he is so into having you as his momma” She cried like crazy ans told me no one knew about it not even demons lol cause she never mentionned to anyone not even to her husband, she never give a little hint of what she desires the mos to anyone not even to the universe. She was the one that iniated me to Tarot cards and gave me a reading. She also said I have a gift of clairvoyance and more but I never thought it was a gift lol since it seemed super normal to me, I grew up surrounded by family members with great intuitions, psychic gift etc so to me I wasnt wow about it. Also because I know “my” gift dont belong to me. God gave it and He has the power to take it back so nothing is really mine to begin with. I have to admitt that I need practice but I dont need cards to know more nor to have any type of confirmation. I just looooove the design, the art.
I recently had a friend from work ask me to give her a reading and I asked my pendulum which deck would be good for her and I used two oracle decks and a tarot deck. It was crazy awesome and apparently it was very on spot. She said it gave her peace and encouragement to keep going on and yes, she cried. I hugged her and listened to her. It was a pretty amazing experience.
Thank you for the article! Recently, I’ve been trying to level up my tarot game. I’ve been reading on and off for about 10 years now, I’d say I’m somewhat proficient but far from where I want to be still. There’s been plenty of readings I can recall where the person receiving the reading was profoundly moved and a handful of times where it did bring tears to their eyes. I couldn’t even tell you how many times I’ve found myself in the same position from doing readings for myself lol. I love the tarot, and it’s what really opened my eyes to the mysterious nature of our world and what made me decide to pursue my path of cultivating the spirit. I consider myself a student of many religious, spiritual, and philosophical teachings, but not a true follower of any. I’d say, like the Buddha, I’m paving my own path to enlightenment. So thank you again for the article, I gained a lot of great insight into how I can improve and connect deeper with my readings for myself and others
I’ve been doing free online readings via Facebook for practice. I send the querent a photo of each of the decks I’m working with that week (with The Fool, The Wheel, and The World cards of each deck) and get them to choose which one they connect with the most. I also get them to choose a number from 1 – 3 and that dictates which pile I select when I cut the cards. That way the querent’s intuition is choosing the cards.
Very interesting. I’ve been practicing with a variety of decks and stuffed animals and a few friends lol. I got your cards last week. They are fantastic. Perfection 🥰! I need to start adding in the extras to the readings like the questions about what cards they were surprised by etc because currently I just straight do the reading if you know what I mean.
I recently had a friend’s grandma come through in a reading, and it was such a powerful experience for us both! I intuitively picked up an old angel deck that I don’t feel called to often, and pulled a card with an angel with the same name as their grandmother with an accompanying message about a loved one sending love and protection from the other side. I’m excited to be exploring a more intuitive reading style for others!
Great info, but the one thing that gave me pause was that I’ve ALWAYS let a new deck breathe (out of the box), then I smoke cleanse, then I interview that deck prior to using it. Maybe that’s just a ritual that resonated with me, but it feels like I’m honoring that deck and I’m intune with it instead of using it like its a game. It most certainly is NOT.
My mom got mad at me and stormed off and i just was left feeling bad and negatively. That was before i even really studied it. But it was correct. Her relationship didnt last long at all and not to mention he was Aquarius like me and she didnt take my advice prior to the reading either. I burned the cards i was given by someone who was dark. Then i returned to it many years later, studying it like crazy online for a long time before feeling like i could spend the money on a deck. So i was given my first deck but its gone now. I was getting confident and i loved tarot sooo much, deeply and wholly, but now after moving so many times and having no sense of anything remaining stable i find my interest waning. I hope i will feel that love again. I hope im not done with tarot and it was just a stage that didnt add up to anything much.
Thank you so much for the article. I know some meanings but mostly I still have to use the book. I followed exactly what you were demonstrating but if I were the wuerent I would be frustrated that the guidance was “how”: quickly, decisively, no procrastination, but not “what”. What is the querent supposed to do quickly. I know my own intuition/imagination fails me in my own life on “what”.
LOVE this article! A lot of great tips and information. Thank you for it. The emotional reading that stands out the most for me actually involved my daughter. She asked me for a tarot reading, which I was happy to do, and much to my surprise, she started to tear up halfway through it. She and her boyfriend glanced back and forth at each other, nodding their heads, and they both told me that the cards that had been pulled summarized what was going on for her at that time. Tarot is quite fascinating – and magical! Another reading that stands out is an email reading I did where the Death card was prominent. This client was traumatized by it even though I explained that it wasn’t about physical death! It’s difficult for people to handle the appearance of these cards if they are not familiar with tarot. I really enjoy your articles. You have an amazing energy. 🤗 ❤️
I’ve recently got back into doing readings and I enjoy the opportunity to provide insights and give hope where at times it can be difficult for the person I read for. This is a serious endeavor to take on and having crystals or my other tools present is essential. I do like the interactive approach and I prefer a win-win and difficult cards that come up are not “set-in-stone” but warnings and a gentle reminder to be careful or reflect on how this aspect might relate to the person who might be shocked to see The Devil come up in a reading (as an example).
if you are ask by a friend to read for her are you going to tell what it says? I can’t tell her coz it is negative. The husband wants to divorce her…. well they keep fighting and the guy is even writting things to use for the divorce against her. Well he is divorced 4x already with different women, she is the fifth. She is asking me to read for them but I don’t know what to say coz it isn’t good. I mean it’s hard to tell, but I can’t lie either. so I don’t know what to say, i am just avoiding her question so I send her my dog articles for fun, well i just can’t tell and say she might go freak our or might get upset. she been in USA for ten years and the husband never allow her to process green card, and I think he doesn’t want her to have permanent status there because he kinda have that in him being too difficult, critical, selfish, user, opportunistic, greedy, stingy with money, ahole. Well actually I already told her long before about men she talks to online, that most of them are pricks because of their birthdate combinations but she refuse to believe me. Most of men online have issues that is why they are not wanted by the white women, there is something wrong with them. To be brutally honest, those guys are leftovers and rejects of their countries and it’s like we are buying in a store with just the leftovers of other countries. It’s same with things they shift here, liek for example the rejects of other country it gets sent in here for sale lols, so it’s same with dating sites, most of them aren’t wanted by the women in there because aside from being old and expired, they are not nice.
I tried to read again for my friend, its not good. the partner wants to split with her and he is looking forward to a enw beginning. I think he is talking to somebody else. he is also worried about finances and his health. I think he is dissapointed that his wife doesn’t bring anything to the table since she is not successful and she doesn’t have anything in her bank. She relies on the husband. I just can’t get more information coz she has been keeping things from me, she doesn’t reveal everything that is going on. I am also kinda feeling weird with her questions about death. She mentioned that if she doesn’t write it means she is dead, but on the second time she ask if who will die first her or him, and she said it’s okay if it is her. I am not sure but I am sensing she is very much worried about this ending, she doesn’t have a greencard and no money as well incase he ditch her. I repeated it many times but he is really determined and tired of the relationship and wants a new beginning, he feels a potential one is better with better financial situation. But actually at his age it’s stupid, I mean is he even expecting to live longer and what is he doing with his money anyway, i mean why accumulate more when infact you are too old. A few years ago I keep telling my friend thsi men she is talking to are concern about money. This are players and also goldiggers, I think she was bragging. She is proud and has ego, so she maybe bragging to men about her education and working in international company.
Hello, I’m a beginner and whenever I do readings for other I ask them to pull any 5 cards. Now, sometimes they end up taking more than 5. Is it okay. Also, mostly what the querent do while reading is they pull more cards without my consent. I don’t really like it though. How can I stop them from doing this?
I have a question: so let’s say we are sitting across from eachother right . When I pull the cards (you’re the one giving me the reading), are you meant to read them from your perspective or from mine? Like I pull a card and to me it’s upright, but to you it’s reversed. Which way would this be read? From my POV or yours?
I use meditation as a way to communicate too, lol. I actually do not have a choice I trance out EVERY time, it is enlightening to hear this from another person that has this experience too. Spirit actually will create a sort of tiredness within me at the oddest times when they want me to “tap” in, lol. Sometimes tho it’s not the best timing on their part kinda hard to drop into meditation while grocery shopping, ya know? lol.
Such valuable information Wray, thank you for sharing. Looking forward to the next article:) Just wanted to mention, have you ever watched Allison Dubois (famous psychic) during her readings. She scribbles the whole time she is reading and i didnt know why until you mention writing or scribbling. Thank you:)
Most nights I fall asleep while I’m listening to tarot messages ♋️. Strange things have happened to me… like a heavy weight over my body and or I saw myself asleep and a white cloud coming my way in bed. I usually get up screaming for help or im praying the Our Father. What ever is I know was not positive. I did stop perusal the Tarot reading I had this negative experience. 😬😅
Thanks, Wray, brilliant and very informative as usual! I was really interested to hear what you had to say about writing and the scribbling as a distraction from the intellectual mind. I think this is something that would help me greatly to better refine the spread (I seem to read better when I make up my own spread based on the issue/question) and the process of reading. I really would like to practice reading for others but have lost my confidence somewhat (due to overthinking, i think!!) and this method of writing sounds like a good way back in! I think it could help also with the letting go of self and thus relaxing enough to be able to receive information from spirit? Thank you so much for sharing. I am very much looking forward to your future articles. Take care, and very best wishes to you!
another thing i am confuse about is why does a tarot reader usually wants me to pick my own cards instead of them picking the cards? IS it because it is for my own reading and we are suppose to touch the cards and so it needs our energy? But on the contrary we do read cards for others that we are not with anyway, and we do read cards on our own about others and they cannot touch it, we are just kinda trying to check on them. ANd I don’t know if it is okay to read for ourselves and if it will be accurate if we read for ourselves. But I am getting confuse coz some tarot readers says we should not read for ourselves, it should be somebody else to be fair. But I notice that not all online tarot readers can read. I mean they are just inventing lols. Like when they said the guy I was interested with is married and has a child, I mean they think it was a married guy but it he is not. Anyway it doesn’t matter. I am just playing with my cards.
I sometimes feel confuse how many times do I need to shuffle. And it does change when I ask again. Though I am actually basing it as well with the factual and present and realistic situation. For example, if the card says something positive but you can’t even see it in reality I don’t think we should believe it. I am struggling with meaning as I don’t always see it as the same. I mean different people have different interpretation of the cards, and if I check online it doesn’t always match the situation. So i’d see it in a different way my own understanding but of course i still check it online. Sometimes i can see it sometimes i can’t. But what I am surw about is that tarot cannot predict exactly, it kinda changes according to what is presently going on. If you see something it can still change. It cannot exactly predict future, but it does predict the present. It can see what is going on but things can change so it just follows. Sometimes i think it reads the feelings, I am not sure if it reads us, or it reads the others that we are reading. I don’t even know how it really works if it is spirits or our own energy and intuition that runs it.
Thanks for letting me know I am not crazy!!!! I described what I felt in the exact same way as you did in this article. The chills times 10 was what I was getting repeatedly a few nights ago when I was relaying information to someone. I did not have my cards with me at the time and yet the information was extremely intense. I felt drained and tired as this went on for a couple of hours. The same thing happened with someone different the very next evening but not as intense. As soon as the person sat down the immediate sensation came over me and spirit was telling me that the person had conflict with someone earlier that day and the information just kept coming. It got so intense that I got up and went to get my cards to see what else was going on. I said all of this to make a point that I am not sure what I am but I know I have a gift of not having to use any cards and yet I am able to give accurate information. Also, I do not know the basic meanings of the tarot cards and yet again I am able to accurately tell others what is going on. What do you and anyone else think about this? I really would like to learn the original meanings of the cards as I feel it can only take my gift to another level.
Thanks for this excellent article, it answered questions I have had for ages & ones I didn’t even know I had. I love tarot & always wondered how professional readers prepare before a session. One question I do have is…some tarot readers start rubbing a particular card part way through a reading, I thought they may be doing it to feel the energy of the card? Do you know if this this possible? Thanks for sharing your lovely work.💙
I found similarities with you and want to learn a lot from your articles . When i also do reading and when someone is keep talking in front of me and telling about her life I don’t make eye contact because it’s distracting me from getting her energy . It’s like I don’t hear or listen and it’s very effective for me to read my tarot . I’m also ethical when reading,I will say the truth when I feel or not .Thank you for this article,I think it’s meant to come across to me able to understand what to do able to enhance my psychic abilities using tarot . Right now I’m little fearful of spirits because I don’t want them to manipulate me and come to me anytime they want,I don’t want to be distracted. I make protection prayers and little of meditation asking my guides to protect me from evil soul and spirits that has bad intentions to me . I covering my self with ray of lights when I feel I’m scared like last night while I was exercising,a spirits that I read lately shown their faces but not scary face,a smiling kind face,what I did because I became so scared while in the middle of my exercise I covered my self in the day of light and went in the middle and make a barrier and suddenly the fear went away and the faces gone too . Now,I want to learn how to be strong especially when I read about spirits .
Your practice of writing in order to open up to your intuition is the same thing Kim at Intuitiview does for her readings. I wonder if you’ve ever checked out her website, I think you would like it. She interviews other people who have spiritual youtube websites and I would love to see her interview you. I think you’d like each other and I think the interview would be great.
