Using Tarot for Manifestation
Tarot for Manifestation

Tarot can be an ideal tool to use for manifesting your dreams into reality. Here’s how.

Manifesting Tarot Spread

Things you will need for this exercise:

  • A Tarot or Oracle deck that strongly resonates with you.

  • Pick one that feels really joyful, positive and light, or one that makes you feel a bit expansive or strong and powerful!

  • A quiet place to focus on your intentions.

  • A journal or notebook for writing down your desired outcome or goal.

The first step to take is creative visualization.

Tarot for Manifesting

Clearly identify what it is you want to manifest. Now write it down. Spend a few minutes visualizing yourself living the desired outcome.
Notice how it makes you feel. By simply imaging your goal and placing your focus on it, you are taking the first step to achieving your dream.

Now draw a card or 2 from the deck.

Take your time and carefully focus on your card. Consider what it means to you personally, and what it means to you in the context of manifesting your dream. It may represent:

  • The path forward towards your goal

  • Energy you need to embody along the way

  • A blockage on your path that you need to clear

  • It may be a beautiful sign of of hope that your dream is on its way

The cards I have drawn are the ace of pentacles and six of pentacles from the Cosmic Slumber Tarot deck. These cards are very auspicious, as the suit of pentacles represents wealth in the physical realm, and my intention is related to building wealth for my family.

I see the ace of pentacles as a message that the abundance I seek is present already in the world. It is waiting to be picked. I simply need to go out and get it.

using tarot for manifestation

The six of Pentacles is sending me a message that the key to achieving my goal is tapping into the ever flowing cycle of wealth that is present on the world. This card reminds me that wealth building is the result of giving and receiving, it is a flow of energy, not a stagnant pool.

Draw yourself a card or 2 and see what comes up. Meditate on the imagery and allow your mind to free flow towards the answer you need.


Manifest your Desired Life Tarot Spread:

Get out your Tarot deck and draw 5 cards. These will represent the path you take for manifesting your desired life and the guides who will help you get there.

Flip over your cards and place them in a row.

Choose one of the cards as your light card.

The light card should be the most positive one you have drawn. It is simply a card that makes you feel inspired to move forward, full of love or grateful for something in your life now. Take a minute to steep yourself in the emotions of this card in relation to your dreams and desires. Allow yourself to be swept away by joy and gratitude.

Choose one of the cards as your shadow card.

This is a card that represents the darkness that holds you back from moving towards your desired life. It should remind you of the “I can’ts.” Those nagging thoughts that say its too hard, or I don’t deserve this, or I don’t know how. Now take a minute to imagine yourself gathering those limiting beliefs up and blowing them away in the wind. 💨

Tarot for Manifesting your dreams

I am using the Cosmic Slumber Tarot, I chose the Star and Ten of Swords as my light and shadow cards.

These are my guides along the way. The Empress, The High Priestess and The Hierophant.

Now the remaining 3 Tarot cards are your guiding forces. Think of them as spirit guides, who have a message to tell you in relation to achieving your desired life. They may bring hope, ideas or inspiration to your reading.

The Empress reminds me there is abundance all around. The High Priestess whispers “follow your intuition to find the way”
The Hierophant suggests that I seek out teachers or guides to learn from, or follow the path that others have taken.

Your spirited guides may tell a story of hope, action, or nurturing. Follow their wisdom and step boldly towards the life you desire.

This takes us to the Most Important Part: Taking Inspired Action!

If you find yourself feeling inspired by any part of this exercise, the most important thing to do is Take Action Now.
Taking inspired action is the thing that will propel you forward and line up your actions with the Universe.

If an idea strikes you, follow it. If you suddenly feel an urge to work on a project, go for it. Do it now while the motivation is strong. Let yourself be carried along by passion and inspiration.

Tip: If you have an idea of what you want to do, but don’t know how, just model the success of others.
Choose someone who has already achieved what you want to do, and copy the actions they took. You don’t have to make everything up yourself, someone else has has already done it, so learn by their example to create your own successful path.


Reading Tarot Cards for Manifestation

If you draw The Empress you may feel the nurturing force of abundance surrounding you
Fertility, creativity, and abundance flow from The Empress. She advises nurturing your ideas and relationships, tending to yourself with kindness and care. Growth is inevitable when you create space for your dreams to blossom—embrace your creative energy and watch your ideal life unfold.

If you draw The Chariot you may feel compelled to take action.
Powerful and determined, The Chariot urges you to take control of your path. Success comes through focus, discipline, and confident action. Harness your will, overcome obstacles, and charge ahead knowing that your desire for achievement fuels your journey.

If you draw The Star you may feel inspired.
This card shines with hope and inspiration. It encourages you to keep faith in your dreams and trust that the universe is aligning in your favor. The Star reminds you that healing and renewal are on the horizon—believe in your inner light and let it guide you forward.

If you draw The Emperor you may be feel strong and empowered.
Prepare to embrace a strong sense of authority and control in your life. This powerful figure symbolizes stability, structure, and leadership, encouraging you to take charge with confidence and wisdom.

Employ the Law of Attraction

The more time you spend focusing on your goal, the more you align your thoughts and energy with the Universe’s frequency. Using the Law of Attraction isn’t just wishful thinking—it’s about consistently envisioning what you want as if it’s already yours. Picture your goal vividly in your mind’s eye, feel the emotions of accomplishing it, and maintain unwavering belief. The Universe loves clarity and commitment. So, keep your focus sharp, your mindset positive, and watch opportunities and synchronicities start to flow your way like magic.

Remember: what you focus on expands!

Revisit this Tarot Reading for Manifestation anytime you are feeling stagnant and need a boost to get your thoughts back in line with your desired goals. Just draw some cards and let them help you re-focus your intentions in a positive way.

Remember: Tarot is Your Partner in Manifestation

It’s not fortune-telling doom—it's playful co-creation with the universe, using symbols and intuition to get clear, stay motivated, and attract what lights you up. So grab your deck, dream big, and let those cards dance with your manifesting mojo!

What is a Reversed Tarot Card?

What is a Reversed Tarot Card?

A reversed Tarot card is simply a card that has been drawn in an upside down position.

What is a Reversed Tarot Card

Queen of Cups — Upright vs Reversed

Queen of Cups upright signifies emotional maturity, compassion, intuition. A deeply empathetic, nurturing presence who understands feelings without judgement. Someone who offers steady emotional support and listens with empathy.

Queen of Cups reversed meaning is emotional imbalance, insecurity, or suppressed feelings. Intuition clouded or ignored; moodiness and co-dependency are possible. Someone who is overly sensitive, emotionally withdrawn, clingy, or manipulative.

You may be overwhelmed by feelings or disconnected from them. It could indicate someone who smothers or withdraws instead of engaging healthily. Your intuition blocked by fear, denial, or unresolved trauma. Difficulty identifying or expressing true feelings.

  • If upright: Lean into compassion and intuitive guidance; offer or receive emotional support.

  • If reversed: Pause and reassess emotional patterns; practise boundaries and honest self-reflection before making choices.

Reversals add nuance to the meaning of a card. They don’t simply mean to shift the meaning in a negative way, or to use the opposite as meaning. Instead, they deepen a card’s meaning. It may infer blocked energy, an internalized influence, delaying on something that needs to be addressed, an imbalance, or an invitation to look inward at subconscious beliefs.

It may be suggesting you need to embody the quality of the card you have drawn, such as embracing an attitude of abundance if you’ve drawn the Empress.

It may be suggesting that you need to release something, such as addiction or an unhealthy attachment with the devil card.

Reversed Tarot cards

Here are a few ways to think about reversals when they come up in a reading.

  • Blocked or delayed energy. The card’s usual energy is present but not flowing freely. For example The Chariot reversed might mean stalled progress.

  • Internalized or psychological expression. The theme is happening inside you rather than outward. The Empress reversed could indicate self-care issues rather than fertility or abundance outwardly.

  • Imbalance, excess or deficiency. The card’s qualities are present in too much or too little. Strength reversed might point to either weakness or overcompensation.

  • The card may be seen as a warning or lesson. A reversal can show pitfalls, patterns to break, or a need for adjustment.

  • Release or recovery. Sometimes a reversed card signals the end of a cycle or letting go. It may be the shadow of the upright meaning resolving.


How to read a reversed card (practical tips)

1. Notice position and spread context.

  • Is the card in a place that denotes an obstacle, advice, or outcome? The reversal may modify the meaning in some roles or solidify the meaning in others.

2. Ask whether the energy is blocked, internal, imbalanced, or resolving:

  • Test each possibility against the querent’s situation.

3. Combine with neighboring cards.

  • Surrounding cards clarify whether blockage is temporary, who or what is causing it, or what’s needed to move forward.

4. Find a way to use the reversal for positive movement rather than as a bad omen.

  • Say something like “The Sun reversed. Perhaps joy is being suppressed right now, or something is preventing you from fulling enjoying your experience” rather than “This is bad.”

The Sun Reversed

5. Consider timing and action.

  • A reversed card might suggest delays rather than something more permanent. Ask what steps may unblock the energy.

Common misunderstandings

  • Reversed ≠ “bad luck” Many readers default to thinking reversals are negative. They’re more accurately shaded or redirected meanings.

  • Reversals aren’t required. Some readers don’t use reversals at all, they read orientation as part of nuance but rely on upright meanings and intuition.

  • There is no fail-safe rulebook. Meanings shift with mood, deck symbolism, reader style, and the querent’s life. Treat reversal meanings as flexible guides.

Examples of possible reversed meanings:

  • The Fool upright: new beginnings, leap of faith. Reversed: hesitation, recklessness, or a need for more preparation.

  • Three of Pentacles upright: teamwork and craftsmanship. Reversed: poor collaboration, lack of recognition, or skills not being applied.

  • Ten of Swords upright: painful ending. Reversed: recovery, resisting closure, or slowly healing.

When to use reversals in your reading practice

  • When you want more nuance and psychological depth.

  • If you seek to highlight internal blocks or timing issues.

  • When you’re comfortable trusting instinct and weaving subtle meanings into the narrative.

Quick guide to reversals:

  • Blocked/delayed — energy not flowing.

  • Internalized — it’s happening inside, not externally.

  • Imbalance — too much or too little of the card’s trait.

  • Lesson/warning — area needing attention.

  • Release/recovery — resolution in progress.

Final note
Reversed cards are a tool, not a rule. Use them to enrich interpretations, reveal hidden dynamics, and offer compassionate, practical guidance — with a playful wink, not a doom-and-gloom stamp.

Tarot Alchemy using the 4 Elements

Alchemy using the 4 Elements

In Tarot, the Minor Arcana are associated with four different elements — Water, Fire, Air, and Earth.

While we all feel drawn to the qualities of certain elements more than others, the true magic happens in our lives when we embrace the qualities of all the elements and understand how they work together.

Earth grounds us. It brings stability, patience, and the practical steps that turn dreams into reality.

Fire sparks passion, courage, and transformation, pushing us to act and evolve.

Water holds our emotions, brings intuition, and the capacity to heal and connect.

Air brings clarity, new ideas, and the perspective needed to learn and communicate.

When one element dominates, life can feel lopsided. If you have too much fire, it can escalate problems and burns bridges. Too much water floods us with feeling, we become overwhelmed by our emotional state. Too much air scatters our attention. And too much earth can wear us down.

Balancing the elements invites flow. Use earth to steady your plans. Working in the physical realm is the key to turning inspired ideas into reality. Fire is action, use this element to energize your plans. Consider what excites you and get moving towards that. The element of water helps you to sense what’s true, explore your feelings and ask yourself what valuable message your emotions hold. You need air to think and express, take a walk to clear the mind.

Practice simple ways to bring balance: ground with a nature walk or routine (earth), move your body or light a candle for intention (fire), journal or meditate to process feeling (water), and read or talk through ideas to gain perspective (air). Over time, embracing all elements helps you respond to life with resilience, creativity, and harmony.

Tarot For Mindfulness
Tarot For Mindfulness

Finding Calm Amidst the Shuffle

Tarot isn't just about predicting the future or uncovering hidden secrets. It can also be a powerful tool for cultivating mindfulness and deepening your present-moment awareness. When you approach your Tarot practice with a mindful attitude, each card becomes a gentle nudge to pause, reflect, and connect more fully with your inner world.

What is Mindfulness?

Mindfulness is simply the practice of being present in the moment, and quietly paying attention without judgment. It's about noticing what's happening inside you (thoughts, feelings, body sensations) and around you (sounds, sights, smells) with curiosity and gentle acceptance rather than getting swept away by reaction.

Being mindful means taking a break from being busy with things to do. Paying attention to the ways your mind is flowing, and stopping to consider if your current path or activity is useful in a meaningful way, or just something you feel you should be doing, for whatever reason. Consider what ways you may be simply running on autopilot, instead of moving with intention.

Tarot Practice for Daily Mindfulness

Pull one card as your ‘Mindfulness Guide’ for the day.

Place it somewhere visible and revisit its message when your mind starts to wander.

Using Tarot for Mindfulness

Tarot can be used as a tool for mindfulness, by helping you to stay anchored in the present moment. Often it can be challenging to slow down and put aside the distractions. Set yourself up for success by choosing a time free from obligations or interruptions.

Choose a space that feels calm and relaxing. Outside where it is calm and quiet such as your garden or patio, or choose an inside space that feels cozy, safe and comforting.

Using Tarot for Mindfulness

Choose a deck that has a calm energy. Shuffle your deck slowly and deliberately, feeling each card between your fingers.

Remember, you are not asking the cards to answer a question, or to solve a problem. The goal is to simply allow the cards to reveal whatever insight may serve you best. Become a vessel, or transmitter for receiving the wisdom that is seeking you out. Ideas that are trying to reach you, but you may be unaware of because your busy mind and life have drowned them out.

Draw as many cards as you feel compelled to pull from the deck. There is no right way to do this. It is simply a way of clearing space for the universal wisdom to flow through you, inspiring ideas, clearing away doubts, fears or old stagnant energy that no longer serves your highest path.


By weaving Tarot into your mindfulness practice, you can transform Tarot reading into a healing therapy for your soul. This practice can offer clarity, calm, and a touch of magic to your everyday life.

Mindfulness Tarot Spread

Mindfulness Tarot Reading

Take a deep breath and set a calm intention. Maybe it’s to understand your current emotional state or simply to ground yourself.

Draw a single card, resist the urge to dive into a full spread. One card at a time will focus your attention without overwhelming your senses.

Observe the card without judgement. Look at the card’s imagery, colours, and symbols. Note what thoughts and feelings arise without trying to label them as good or bad.

Journal your reaction, only if you feel compelled to. Write down your impressions and how the card’s message relates to your life right now. journaling helps you track your growth and deepen self-awareness.

Let this card’s energy guide you into calmness. You may wish to draw another card or 2 to explore the energy further.

Mindfulness Tarot Spread

Draw 3 cards:

Card 1: Intention to focus on in meditation.

Card 2: What energy needs to be released?

Card 3: This is a card for inspiring action following the reading as you move into your day.

Cards That Encourage Mindfulness

  • The Hanged Man: Encourages surrender and seeing things from a new perspective—perfect for practising patience and presence.

  • Temperance: Speaks to balance and harmony within, urging you to find calm in the chaos.

  • The Hermit: Invites quiet reflection and introspection, ideal for deepening your mindful moments.


Key aspects of mindfulness

  • Present-moment awareness: Bringing attention to now instead of ruminating about the past or worrying about the future.

  • Non-judgmental attitude: Observing experiences without labeling them "good" or "bad."

  • Intentionality: Choosing to focus rather than being driven by habit.

  • Openness and curiosity: Exploring inner and outer experience with interest.

Simple mindfulness practices

Practice mindful breathing. Focus on the breath for 1–5 minutes, noticing inhales and exhales. When the mind wanders, gently return to the breath.

Do a body scan. Slowly move attention through the body, noticing sensations without trying to change them.

Mindful walking, also known as a walking meditation. Walk slowly, being aware of staying in the present moment. You may wish to focus on the beauty around you, or simply notice each step, the contact of feet with ground, and sensations of movement.

Notice your thoughts and consider how they function. Label passing thoughts as “thinking,” “planning,” “worrying” or “ideas” and let them go like clouds.

Benefits of mindfulness

Mindfulnes reduces stress, anxiety, and depressive rumination. It improves attention, focus, and emotional regulation. Mindfulness practices can enhance self-awareness and compassion, improve sleep and overall well-being. Taking time for this can lead you to ideas taking inspired steps towards a life the peace and joy that you deserve.

Tips:

  • Be consistent rather than perfect: short daily practices beat occasional long ones.

  • Use reminders: anchor mindfulness to daily routines (brushing teeth, waiting in line).

  • Try guided meditations or mindfulness apps if you prefer direction.

Mindfulness isn’t about emptying your mind or achieving a permanently calm state. It’s a skill of noticing experience as it is, which gradually shifts your relationship with thoughts and feelings. As you give yourself more space to just be, you will discover greater peace, and less reactivity.

Draw 6 cards:

Card 1. What does the deck have to say?

Card 2. Challenge for this new year.

Card 3. Strengths to lean on.

New Year Tarot Reading

The overall feeling is that, as we leave behind 2025 we should also leave behind any tendency towards feelings of desperation and trying to fix or solve things, instead placing our focus on our desired outcomes. We can do this by letting go of our fear.

You may have been working in a frantic sort of way using very masculine energy to solve problems. The challenge is to take a time out from this labouring to fix things and instead place your focus on your dreams. Embrace your strengths and skills and joy, to flow gracefully towards your desires. Immense strength lies in the feminine energy of the Empress, and by embracing this, you will stop at nothing to see that everything and everyone is taken care of.

The only thing you really need to overcome is fear. Weakness is almost aways rooted in fear. As difficult as it may be, by facing our fears we will emerge stronger and more resilient. Once these fears have been released we will become open to new opportunities and new horizons that we have previously been unable to see.

By embracing these concepts of letting go of desperation and struggle, moving towards the things we desire, and facing fears that are holding us back. We can expect to witness a Tower event in the New Year. A collapse of outdated systems than no longer work for us, and the opening up of something new, and yet unknown.


Breakdown card by card:

Card 1: What does the deck have to say?

X of Strand - Feeling constricted by things around you. This card suggests you are working hard towards a goal, or have been taking on a lot of work. You may be feeling overwhelmed or overburdened, take a break and some time to regain your balance.

Card 2: Challenge for this new year.

X of Spokes - The party at it’s best. This card represents completion, accomplishments and wholeness. Your challenge in the new year is taking time to reflect gratefully on your accomplishments and what you have, and to share your joy with those around you.

Card 3: Strengths to lean on.

The Empress - Nothing is more powerful than a mothers love. The strength you can lean on is your own nurturing ability. Take care of yourself as you care for others. You have the ability to protect yourself your family and those around you.

Card 4: Weaknesses.

IX of Strands - Don’t allow challenges to get you down. Keep your head in the game when facing obstacles, each time you prevail you will emerge stronger, wiser and more resilient. Think of each difficulty as an opportunity for growth.

Card 5: Opportunities for growth.

IX of Spokes - Sweet anticipation. Remember the lesson of letting go, allowing space for new growth and opportunities. Something better is on its way, the thing you have been waiting for. Reward yourself for your hard work and dedication to your goal.

Card 6: Will be uncovered in the new year.

The Tower - Some forces can not be contained. If it feels like things are falling apart, just remember that the collapse of the old is required to create space for change.

After all, if the Demogorgon hadn’t entered our world, how would the Party have become heroes? Instead of fearing the unknown, embrace the change and welcome the chance to grow.
— Stranger Things Tarot Deck Guidebook

Numerology of this New Year Tarot reading - An interesting pattern is created by the cards:

new year tarot reading

10 of Strands and Spokes followed by a Major arcana, the Empress,

9 of Strands and Spokes followed by a Major arcana, the Tower.

Looking at the numerology of this, 10 distils to 1 and represents new beginnings, independence, leadership and the seed of potential manifesting into action, while 9 embodies completion, humanitarianism, wisdom gained from endings and the ideal of universal compassion.

In Tarot, the Ten cards signify culmination of a cycle, how very fitting for the end of the year, often material outcomes, burdens or fulfilment. This end of year energy leads us into the abundant new energy represented by the Empress.

The Nine cards point to near-completion states: (something we are about to achieve) reflection, mastery, solitude for clarity, spiritual attainment or the final lessons before resolution. After this completion, we will be seeing the upheaval of the old and emergence of the new (The Tower)
