Thank you so much for this TIMELESS exercise (just stumbled ... lol ... on this today, many years after you posted). You explained it very well and there were points you brought out that I hadn’t considered before. The insight I gather from Tarot readings is a great life coach !! 🔑💌
Kate, this is a wonderful Tarot exercise! The thing i like best about the exercise is that it can be used right away. It is something that anyone can do. A person does not have to be a Tarot expert right off the bat. Great for all levels of Tarot readers. Absolutely brilliant! Thank you so much for sharing this video and article.
This was a great exercise! My question was how to best deal with having to take care of my elderly mother. My mom broke her hip and now she is home. She has always been very demanding and controlling my entire life and it is very stressful for me trying my best to help her. The card I pulled was the 9 of wands from the Robin Wood deck. I couldn't believe it!!! It has a man that looks battle weary, with a bandage around his head that has blood on it. He holding on to a wand for support and eight wands are behind him. This is exactly the way I feel, exhausted and alone hanging on as best I can. When I asked for the advice from the card I saw that although he looked very exhausted he wasn't beaten. He held his wand for support and had his other wands behind him, protecting them. I felt he was tired and taking a rest and would regain his strength. I felt the advice was for me to hang on. The supporting wand was my friends and brother. I also felt I need to protect myself and be in control of my life as I see fit. Thanks for this exercise, I got a lot out of it:)
I am so glad you found this helpful, crystalheart :) Sounds like a really frustrating situation your in - and I'm glad your chosen card helped you find your strength. Hugs, Kate
***** I am going to print out the instructions for this exercise so I can use it whenever I need some advice from my inner life coach. The card helped me focus on the question and gave me the extra boost and support I needed at this time. Sometimes I get overwhelmed and it is difficult to think calmly, this really helped a lot:) Thanks Kate, you are brilliant and I look forward to more tarot tips and exercises!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is a very richly focused and meaningful way to work with one card. As you say, not as a daily spread probably, but more when you really need to take a deeper (with one card!) look. Handy to do unobtrusively like at work where you can put out just one card and glance or thank about it during the day. Thank you.
I just fell back in love with Tarot :) I've had my first deck i bought for something about 20 years now. I was way to young when I got it and I think therefore it ended up in a box and never used. Just recently I stared to think on my deck and about Tarot. I started to look around youtube and foud a couple of chanels I liked and have watched now. I also found you and I comletely love your soft and friende way of talking and go about things. I think its just what I need to dare to procede. I'm thinking of starting with a Tarot jounal and follow some of your exercises. I recently had my birthday and i got two new decks, the Tarot of the Old Path and a miniature deck called The Fairy Tarot. So adorable! Im thinking I should start learning with my first deck, the Rider Waite Tarot deck, to get an idea of the basics. Then sink my teeth into the Tarot of the Old Path, with all its pagan feel, plamts and other wonderful things. Love your videos and love yor webpage, both will be a great help to me. So many thanks!
+Sandra Lundmark Hi Sandra! I'm delighted you're diving back into Tarot and I'm so glad you've found me :) Thank you for your nice compliments - I'm glad that my approach to Tarot resonates with you. Best of luck to you as you re-establish your relationship with Tarot :) Hugs, Kate
very good thankyou very much for sharing. i feel with the card that is that you are very emotional about moving, two propertys will come up for you but they will be in two different areas far apart, you will make the right decision and will be very happy with your choice. xx
This is a really good way to work with the cards. My original question was more about working on honing in on how best to ask my question. But the card was 7/Earth, which as it worked out, brought light on an major issue in my life, which is about nutrition. In general a primary purpose is to find my purpose, and the 7 of Earth actually also shed a light on this. I work with the triads, and the 3rd triad which includes the 7-9 cards, is about my Spiritual life. The depiction on 7/Earth is from the Gaian Tarot, and is so perfect for what my greatest inner desire is (to become more in tune with Nature). I found this card spoke to so many aspects of what I am currently involved with.My goal is to work be very concise in what I am going to be asking for from my nutritionist. Earth is the suit which speaks directly to that. THIS is very exciting!More to come about how it worked out. Since the advice this card brings is specific to being patient, and accepting that work and the results of work take time, it also is realistic for the transition of nutritional changes I have to make and the amount of time for this will be longer. I'm going to be journaling everyday about my interaction with own health care.Thank you Kate. Looking forward to
I like this exercise. Thank you. I asked how could I help my husband( with his depression). I got the Princess of cup's -The Goddess Tarot. Traditional meaning- Artistic inspiration Love Beauty emotional richness What does the meaning give in advice for my question- Add more Beauty to our world, look after our selves, good health, good diet, What message is here for me- seeing the mountains in the back ground- Find beauty in Nature and bring this beauty into our home ,environment 💖
What a great exercise to try, it definitely opened my eyes to new ways of approaching my cards and with great insight too. Thank you Kate. My question was about moving on from an unhealthy rut that i'm currently in & I pulled the 7 of Pentacles.
Kate- Thanks so much! I will definitely try this. I clicked on the link and it said page not found. Maybe you haven't created it yet. I'll check back later. Thanks again. I am a long time follower of yours and have learned so much! Jan
Hi Jannie - your right, I added the link before the post was officially published which seemed to mess things up. So sorry about that! here is the right link: www.daily-tarot-girl.com/2014/10/07/life-coach-tarot-cards/ And thank you for letting me know about this otherwise I wouldn't have caught it! Thanks for watching, I'm so glad your learning lots :) Hugs, Kate
My card was the hanged man. I do think that the man being upside down really went along with what you said about gaining new perspective on the issue. I definitely think the man could easily break his bonds, so that's encouraging. If I do some more research I'll back and let you know what I find. Your tutorial was extremely helpful. Thank you.
Thanks Andrea! I know sometimes it takes time to do this exercise - often you'll suddenly figure out what the card means when your doing something unrelated, like in the shower, or driving somewhere.
My question was "what do I need to know about movement in my life and why do I feel so stagnant?" I used the Mystic Meg tarot deck and I got the world, I veiw it as I'm completing a stage in my life. The advice to me was to complete all task I take up. The message I got from it was that I should come out of my bubble/ she'll, get out there and explore ...see what the world has to offer so I wont feel so stuck in one place....
Oh, just one cart! I like it! I have (7) The Battle Wagon from Green Witch Tarot and my stuff is to help me get out and to do my thing. So what do I need to know to get out of my own way? I love it! So I will go and use this now :) Namaste
hi Kate I love your work,my question was what do I need to know about a potential partner,and I got the 4 of swords,which traditionally is about a period of rest and recovery,staying silent and inactive and building up mental strength,a time to gather thoughts.My interpretation of how the card relates is that I've been overthinking this and it's a time where I should be resting.I feel the advice was that I shouldn't worry or overthink,just rest,my plan for the weekend,that's my timeframe is that I'm not going to worry,do something that relaxes me and think of myself.I loved the last bit I felt the message that my spirit wants me to know,is shown by the stained glass window in this card,sunlight is outside,so to me that means to rest and be calm now would lead to a bright future,id love to hear your interpretation,thanks!
Used 'Aquarian - Palinni 1970's Style. (( question posed, 'What was needed to be known' )) Pulled 'Knight of Coins'. Methodical Delivery of Purpose... a layer of experience grows much like TREE RINGS in a stump cutting. A Page is trying to get the 'idea'... A Knight is Testing it with actual conditions one finds themselves being in. // Even though I'm a Leo Personality... there's some qualities that can't be rushed, or simply wasting resources...
Very good instructions indeed, they helped me a lot. I don't mind sharing my question and the card, because possible other P.O.Vs are always welcome. So, I asked about a man I have fallen for... And according to Tarot (I got the Ace of Cups upright many times when asking questions about his feelings towards me) he's also interested of me. Still I feel like there's something I should know about him before I'll have a chance to get closer to him. (He's a bit like an iceberg... Always mysterious) My question: What I features need to accept in him in regards to get closer to him? The card: King of Cups reversed I think this card is about emotional blocks of some sort, but he doesn't solve those problems. He avoids them and tries to drink them away which only makes him to drown in his ocean of emotions... But I get a feeling that he doesn't do it on purpose, he just can't work with spiritual things such as feelings very well. So... I drew a conclusion that I need to see through his 'bad' actions and habits and understand that he's only in need of help yet he might not realize it himself. Am I correct?
Hey, thanks for sharing your reading here :) I often see the King of Cups as representing someone who drinks to drown away their emotions - so that's interesting this card came up for you. Honestly, I have no idea if your conclusion is correct or not - I think only you can know that. When you think of that conclusion, what do you feel? do you feel relief? calm/peace? or does it feel like you are deceiving yourself? That can be a good indicator of whether you are right or not - but really only time and experience can tell. Good luck with this, hope all works out for you! Cheers, Kate
***** It's no problem! Hmm... At the same time I feel relieved because I know what to do, but I also feel a bit nervous. Alcohol isn't the easiest things to deal with, after all. Especially if it's linked to relationships. But I'll manage as always. Thanks, hope I wont need it!

oh wow- I'm shuffling my first rider-wait deck while watching this and the Moon jumps out as your going over the traditional meaning of it :)
Oh that's so cool! Wow!

I asked about home, creating a sense of home and I got six of cups. What a great card. Time to play!
