Ep 72 – Reading Tarot for Yourself: Tips for Clearer, More Supportive Self-Readings

In this episode, Peter and Bonnie have an honest conversation about reading tarot for yourself—how to make self-readings feel clearer and more supportive, especially when you’re still building confidence.

We explore simple ways to create space and intention before a reading, and we offer encouragement for anyone who hasn’t started yet because they don’t feel “ready.” You don’t need to know every meaning to begin—starting is often how you become familiar with the cards and how you deepen your relationship with them.

We also talk about asking better questions, along with boundaries around asking about other people. A big part of this conversation is about regulation—how to notice when you’re reaching for the cards from a grounded place versus a reactive one.

We get into expectations too: how releasing the need for a specific outcome can make your readings clearer. We also share a few personal practices we love—like leaving cards out for the day to sit with the message, and keeping a deck that’s just for your own readings.

At the end of the episode, we each draw a card and share how we’d interpret it if we had pulled it for ourselves—it’s honest, in real-time, and reflective.
