A big myth about Tarot Reading is that the traditional way of reading cards, the learned card meanings, and intuition are not compatible. There is this idea that you either embrace the book wholeheartedly as your bible or throw it away completely.
I see this debate occurring a lot. Should I trust the book meaning or my intuition? Some people are firmly on the side of sticking to the books and while others want to disregard the books entirely and come up with new interpretations for the cards.
There is a middle ground, guys. It’s not as cut and dry as book meaning vs intuition.
The truth is, that the real magic happens when you combine logic and intuition. That’s the sweet spot right there.
As a beginner, you need the book meanings. You need that foundation to work off of. Think of it this way. The book meaning is your foundation but intuition helps you really go above and beyond. Intuition tells you which aspect of the card meaning to emphasise. Intuition points you towards clues that you would have otherwise missed, clues that point towards something that may be of meaning to the querent.
Do not be afraid to go off-book but don’t throw the book away either!
