3 Myths About Tarot That Keep You Disconnected From Your Intuition

Let’s get one thing straight: Tarot was never meant to replace your intuition. It was meant to reawaken it.

But most people never get to experience that, because they’re tangled in outdated myths that make Tarot seem spooky, inaccessible, or worse, a party trick.

Let’s unravel that.

Myth #1: “Tarot tells you what to do.”

This is one of the fastest ways to lose trust in your own instincts.

When people hand their power over to the cards, asking yes/no questions and waiting for an answer like it’s a magic 8-ball, they disconnect from their inner knowing.

Tarot doesn’t tell you what to do. It shows you what’s really going on.

It brings the unconscious forward. It reflects what you already feel, know, or fear but haven’t yet named.

It empowers your choice.It doesn’t make it for you.

Myth #2: “You have to memorize all 78 meanings.”

This keeps so many people from even trying.

But here’s the truth: you don’t need to remember anything to receive a powerful message from a Tarot card.

Tarot is a visual language. It speaks through color, symbol, archetype, and energy and your intuition already understands that language.

When you stop trying to “get it right,” and start listening to what the cards evoke in you?

That’s when Tarot becomes a living conversation with your inherent wisdom.

Myth #3: “You shouldn’t read for yourself.”

This one drives me crazy.

Tarot is a mirror.

Why wouldn’t you want access to that mirror when you’re making big decisions, navigating change, or unraveling old stories?

Yes, it takes some practice to read for yourself without bias but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t do it. It means you should learn to do it with honesty and curiosity.

You don’t need to be a professional reader. You need to be willing to meet yourself in truth.

Tarot isn’t gatekept wisdom.It’s not a parlor game.And it’s definitely not just for “psychics.”

It’s a sacred, accessible tool for anyone who wants to come home to themselves.
