Summary
Sometimes you pull a Tarot card and it just doesn't seem to make sense for the question you're asking. What do you do in those moments of confusion or lack of clarity?
This episode of TRIGGERED! will give you specific suggestions for how to interpret any card that shows up - regardless of your question or level of experience with the Tarot.
Join me for a discussion of:
- why your first impulse when you're confused or puzzled by a card is often unhelpful
- why it's worthwhile to stick with and push through the initial confusion (and how to do so)
- how to move beyond reliance on the guidebook or online definitions of the cards
- how to lean into your intuitive senses to decipher a card's meaning
- important aspects to notice on a Tarot card that will help you develop your own intuitive understanding of it
- when to pull a clarifier or turn to the guidebook for assistance

| 0:44.3 | This episode of Triggered is going out to my fellow pterologists and tarot enthusiasts out there. |
| 0:52.3 | Working with the tarot can be a complex endeavor, sometimes |
| 0:58.1 | requiring us to not only have a clear intuition, but also some background knowledge of the |
| 1:05.2 | traditional meanings of the cards and the deck as a whole. So in this episode, I want to demystify the process of working with the taro a little bit, |
| 1:16.4 | because I often receive questions from students and clients on how to understand a tarot |
| 1:22.3 | card that they've pulled that just doesn't seem to make sense for them for that particular question |
| 1:29.9 | or the issue that they're asking about. |

| 1:39.0 | guidance without a specific question. |
| 1:42.4 | So either way, let's dive into some strategies you can apply |
| 1:45.7 | when you find yourself in this situation. When you've shuffled your deck, |
