📔 Questions to reflect on

  1. Choose a card that repeatedly appears in your readings. How does its universal meaning align with, or diverge from, your personal intuitive interpretation?
  2. Reflect on a recent challenge in your life. If you were to draw a single tarot card to represent its core lesson, which card would it be and why?
  3. Describe a time when your intuition guided you to a correct understanding of a situation, even without all the facts. How can you apply that same trust to your tarot readings?
