How Do You Incorporate Intuition in Your Tarot Readings?

Hi everyone,

I am curious about how you blend intuition with traditional card meanings in your Tarot readings. Do you rely more on the book definitions or do you let your inner voice guide you: ??

Personally, I have been experimenting with trusting my instincts more. For example, when I draw a card like the Three of Cups, instead of just focusing on celebration or community, I sometimes feel it points to a deeper emotional connection in specific situations.

However, I also wonder can relying too much on intuition dilute the Tarot’s structure: ?? How do you find a balance between honoring the cards’ traditional meanings and interpreting based on your unique perspective or the querent’s energy: ??

Would love to hear your experiences and tips! Do you journal your intuitive hits, use spreads that encourage deeper reflection, or have any practices that help you strengthen this skill? I have also searched on the forum and found this thread https://forum.artisantarot.com/t/how-do-you-connect-with-your-cards-react-native/ but couldn’t not find anything.

Looking forward to your insights let’s share and learn from each other !!

Warm regards,
Marcelo Salas

Hello, Marcelo.
At 78 Puertas we read and teach how to read with the Open Reading techniques. Basically, there are no fixed meanings for any card. But it does not imply that you can say whatever you want about a reading.
There are cerain rules, numbers, directions, heat, and so on.
Maybe this video can illustrate this much better: MASTERCLASS | TAROT DE MARSEILLE OPEN READING | STEP BY STEP TUTORIAL
