Hi all, I’m an art student doing a project relating to tarot readings at university. My girlfriend has done a tarot reading on me, and I’ve chosen to interpret those cards through my own illustrations of them.
In relation to this, I need your help.
Anybody who has any intriguing stories to share with their tarot readings, I’d love to know about, and if so, would I have permission to share said stories for my university project?
I’m particularly interested in whether your readings have been strangely accurate, or even if they weren’t at all.
Here was my reading:
PAST:
1. Reversed Hierophant
2. Reversed Death
3. Nine of Pentacles
PRESENT:
4. Queen of Swords
5. The Magician
6. Queen of Cups
FUTURE:
7. Eight of Pentacles
8. Reversed King of Wands
9. Seven of Pentacles
If you look through my site and engage with the 'PLAY' button, you should be able to see my reading explanations and interpretations.
Thanks!
LUKE

I recently went through a very rough break up, and found myself having a reading done on me. My reading reflected my past and present situations, and gave insight to my future (as I’ve found since), to a scary degree of accuracy. I have continued to use tarot cards day by day, and have found them very useful in providing guidance in how I should carry myself and go about my day-to-day activities. Being someone who never used to belief in the spiritual, Tarot cards introduced me to a side of life which was only waiting to be discovered, and have convinced and moreso encouraged me to integrate spirituality into my life, in both guidance, work and pleasure.
I use various sets of Tarot cards regularly and also oracle cards for daily draws.
In general these are only for personal use and to help me better understand past, present and future.
Rather than do elaborate spreads I tend to do the more simple three card spreads and I’ll often use another deck to further elaborate on questions and insights that present themselves from the initial draw.
I find the oracle decks great for one card daily draws, although the traditional tarot tends to give deeper insights and well reflects what is going on in your innermost self.
Often it confirms what you are already thinking or feeling.
The longer you spend with particular decks the more they seem to respond to your own energy.
Many people say that there are certain decks that they just can’t connect with initially, there’s two ways of looking at this.
My first thought is that perhaps you are meant to go on a journey with this deck and continue to try, maybe this is a question of learning to develop and endurance with something that does not come easy..there’s a lesson in there somewhere.
Alternatively you may have yet to reach that point in your life or the maturity necessary to appreciate a deck that presents itself as something you may not understand.
I found that myself with the Wildwood Tarot..it is a serious deck, others have a more lighthearted energy.
Some are more middle of the road.
I think this is a fantastic project to explore and I wish you the greatest of success with it ✨
I personally dont consider myself a spiritual person but the idea of Tarot card readings intrigue me as to whether there is some truth behind it. I think the notion of curiosity and the prospet of asking the questions “is this really real” is apart of human nature. I think this is an important aspect of our society that drive us to enjoy things such as spirtitual practises, including Tarot cards and gives us an oppurtunity to ask important questions about our world. I also love the idea of interpretation and creativity because every single one of us is different and that is reflected in a Tarot card reading. This admit-tingly does excitement me and I do have a huge respect and admiration for the spirituality of human nature.
I have only really used tarot card with friends for fun, however the readings are often eerily accurate. This may be because they are general, applying to many people’s live and applying generally good advice or it’s just actual magic I have no clue. But regardless the advice they give is actually helpful and nice
I wouldn't consider myself a particularly spiritual person, I've only ever used tarot cards for 'fun' (respectfully of course), but even with that context I do think that I've seen and received some readings that have been weirdly applicable.
Although I'm still under the impression that more often or not it could be coincidental, I can't deny that I've been genuinely intrigued by the accuracy of some readings and am still open minded to the possibility of them being something more than coincidence. :D
From Superb_Eye_1511: "Yes so many times, even when I didn't believe it myself. There's something about the deck that just works, if you're clued in. It's baffling."

From TimberOctopus: "The cards are almost always accurate. In fact it's my belief that if they work at all they have to work every time because they're working under the same laws of reality each time.
Nonlinear dynamics. Attractor fields.
Though the quality of the query often dictates the power of the response. When the querent and querey are aligned with integrous intentions the cards really open up.
It was the power of the tarot that first drew me to it.
I read primarily for myself but I read some for others too."
