Reading Tarot for yourself

I read my cards the other night. I sleep with them under my pillow. I woke up in the morning, and I realized I had been lying on the Ten of Cups. It means something. What it means, I don't know

To me the Ten of Cups means an emotional completion to a certain aspect of your life, it's a very nice card.
I feel it is a stepping stone for you into more progress.

I'd like to say I totally agree w/Pagandell, and if I may add... now I'm not a strictly Tarot reader, but I thought that the Ten of Cups also brings gifts of the heart. (?) As the lead in to certain new beginnings with certain emotional aspects. (?) Or am I incorrect in that?

Sounds good to me. I see you do readings.
I used to read at the two top markets in London but now I only read mostly for my self

Hi Pagandell,
Yes, I do.. have for many, many years.
I've been to London a couple of times, but decades ago.
Do you only read Tarot? Or..?
Not quite sure what you mean by 'markets'. There are markets in London where intuitives read? (sorry to sound stupid)
That's great that you can read for yourself. I'm not able to do that at all!!! I always admire those that can. :)

Madame I must inject here if I may. I am a rather cursed kind of Mystic, my friends call them Gifts but we know what's what here.

Tarot - A great and mighty tool for communicating with the Universe, the Aethers, the winds of what may and may not be, and overall the greatest tool . . . yourself. When I utilize cards for my people, I go with the flow of the energy and let myself be the one guided to be the vessel for the information they need at that time, not always what they ask, I always sit with my people and raise the question they are asking to a higher octave of awareness for better insight.

BUT, when it comes to myself, reading and throwing cards, I stick to books and not my own opinion for I am a Leo and the Ego I so easily cast aside to be the bridge for that there and those here, I cannot do for myself. I know what I want an outcome to be, I am not so easy to fool even myself. And I write all readings down, to recall later in life. I am greatest with communicating with The Almighty, "B.O.B." through books just so I have the physical touch of something so I know that I am not entering insanity.

The only difference between Psychic and Psycho is how well you ride the rails in between the realities . . . Don't fall off, Sweety. (BEST advice I ever got and it stuck! Unfortunately that person fell off and hung themselves from madness. Return.Invested.Powerfully Chuckles.)

The Ouija board, the historical and misunderstood, Yes/No Bridge to the Astral and Aether. Yes, so much lower vibrating vile, smelly gremlins can come through it and trick you, deplete your psyche self (Like a cold), cause portals to remain unnecessarily open to create bumps in the night . . . so much to list. Always have a firmness in your Spirit, your skills, and your intent. It's not enough to say a prayer and go for it, be so secure in your Being that you are the sieve that the board creates manifestation through, not the board itself Know beforehand WHAT you need to know and why, and be strong in not dallying from your mission. Get in, get out lol.

A Ouija board. I have been creating one of marble since my first Jupiter Return, in fact, my first real and valid contact with the Aether (other) world was through a Ouija board. I was only 10 or so, and weirder things than most days occurred those couple months. (A child is a reservoir of real psychic energy.) A tool, like any other tool, is to be respected, well familiarized with, and educated on. My marble Ouija board is a secret I leave it alone and wrapped in black cotton cloth tied 8 different ways. The front is semi traditional, the back are all the prayers I grew up with and the ones I have come to learn through Mantra Yoga and Hermetic studies. I have poured a lot of time and Mantra Power into this thing and have never used it. When it is to be used, I will use it with an educated and knowledgeable manner as I seek this or that for him or her or them. (It may NEVER see the light of another persons presence I do not know.) But I know I have a tool, one that is strong and is sturdy in its purpose to only be a bridge of communication when I am unable, unwilling, or unneeded to do so. I do hope it will shine one day because I have been hauling that slab for more than 15yrs now, been working on it for 13. Maybe it is an interesting paperweight, conversation piece LOL)

ALWAY know your tools. Tarot, Ouija, Numbers, Stars, Channels, Vision Quest, the more you know the more you grow. A surgeon can create beauty and save lives and perform miracles with a scalpel. Letting a Joe-Blow man on the street give his mother open heart surgery with one, you're asking for the trouble one was to foolish to project and know ahead of time would come along. Look before you leap, God Bless and Brightest of Blessings.

* B.O.B. is the name the Universe ask I call it. B.O.B. is = to "Borders, Obviously, Boundless" ~ 18yrs and I always thought it was Bob . . . <3

**Thank you for reading!

As far as Divination goes I only read the cards they seem to work really well so I am happy just with them. I have had visions and other things but at the moment we are talking about the Tarot.
In the past I have read the cards at many different places the best place being Amsterdam
Yeah I find it strange when people say they do not do there own readings

Lol... then I guess you'll find me strange. Because even though I try, the readings go with how I'm feeling. I guess I just read my own emotions and can't be detached and objective.

Yeah I'm going to try to explain what I mean, I do not read for my self all the time but only when it is something important, for instance a while ago I did a reading about some one I felt was draining my energy. I got the page of swords and it just confirmed every thing for me.
Some time before that I asked about my creative stuff I got the 3 of wands and that was telling me to carry on.
Its just as simple as that really.

I understand what you're saying and that makes perfect sense. Thank you for explaining that.
