Learn How to Read Tarot Cards
Beginning to learn tarot is more than memorising keywords.
It’s a conversation between you, the cards, and your intuition. I’ll guide you beyond rote learning so you develop a connection that’s personal and practical. This means learning to trust yourself, read confidently, and apply tarot to real-life situations in a way that feels grounded and meaningful.
The cards are a mirror, reflecting your inner world as much as external events. By learning to interpret them with nuance, you’ll uncover insights that go deeper than surface-level answers. This process is about building a working relationship with tarot so you can use it for guidance, self-reflection, and decision-making whenever you need clarity.
Build Your Own Understanding of Tarot
I teach tarot in a way that puts your perspective at the centre. We explore the cards as living symbols instead of static definitions, helping you form interpretations that feel natural. Every image, colour, and detail carries meaning, and by learning their symbolic language, you’ll develop a personal reading style that’s truly your own.
Traditional meanings give you a foundation, but they’re just the start. By actively engaging with each card, you’ll find layers of meaning that connect with your life and experiences. This approach allows you to grow as a reader, blending structure with intuition in a way that adapts to different readings, questions, and contexts.
Go Deeper with Tarot Spreads
A single card can offer insight, but spreads give you the full picture. They show how different aspects of a situation connect, interact, and evolve over time. We’ll explore how spreads work, how to choose the right one, and how to read them for guidance that feels specific and relevant to your question.
Spreads are where tarot becomes a conversation. Each position shapes the meaning of the card in it, creating patterns and stories unique to your reading. By learning how to read spreads effectively, you’ll gain the ability to offer nuanced insights, see the bigger picture, and uncover details that might otherwise go unnoticed.
Learn Tarot Card Meanings
If you’re new, the best place to start is with the traditional meanings. My tarot card meanings pages include reflections to help you understand how these themes can appear in real life. This gives you a base to work from, but the goal is always to make the cards feel personal and relevant to you.
Once you’re familiar with the basics, you can experiment with reading cards in new ways. This might mean focusing on symbolism, storytelling, or intuitive impressions rather than sticking to set definitions. Over time, you’ll create a reading style that’s flexible, authentic, and able to adapt to different decks, questions, and situations.

If you’re ready to commit to learning tarot deeply, my Simply Tarot course offers a complete, adaptable framework. We combine foundational knowledge with intuitive practice so you can read confidently in any setting. This structured approach ensures you understand the system while still allowing room for creativity and personal expression in your readings.
You can take the course online or in person, depending on what works best for you. It’s designed to meet you where you are, whether you’re a beginner building confidence or an experienced reader wanting to refine your technique. By the end, you’ll have a toolkit you can use for a lifetime of tarot reading.
