No one likes seeing negative cards in Tarot reading. So what do you do when you see any of these popping up in your reading. When I was a newbie I faced this issue while interpreting the cards. I use to be equally jittery as the client. But I slowly realized that the cards are not as bad as we perceive them to be. We just need to interpret them in a more positive and brighter way. My pick for the negative cards are:
1. The Devil
2. The Tower
3. Death
4. 5 of Pentacles
5. 3 of Swords
6. 10 of Swords
Tips to read them without Fear
1.The imagery in these Tarot cards is so strong and powerful that we often sense its energy as bad or negative. But we really need to understand what’s going on behind the scenes. So try and reframe the questions as what are the Strengths and Weaknesses or Advantages and Disadvantages or Opportunities and Blocks.
2.Completely throw away the idea of Good and Bad cards. Really, there are no such cards in the Tarot. Every Tarot card has its positive and negative aspects which is reading specific. When you start to let go of this belief you will allow more possibilities to blossom.
So, make a commitment to yourself now that there are no Negative Cards.
3. Look to the brighter side of life. Try and understand how a difficult situation is actually blessing in disguise. Do not deal with negative cards by redrawing until you find something you like. There is no way to erase negativity from our lives. Challenges bring us chances to expand and grow, and turn bitterness into beauty.
4. All Tarot cards hold multiple meaning and energies. Tarot cards are mirrors which will show your negative thought patterns which you never knew you had.
Finally remember that Tarot reading is not a science it’s a fluid and emotional process. It should make you feel powerful. Trust that the messages you get are the ones you were meant to hear on that given day. Your tarot cards want you to have a vibrant and wonderful life. None are bad, and all are meant to support you on your spiritual journey!
