Pull a Tarot Card Daily

Tarot and oracle readings are a great way to reach your inner wisdom. There is a method called “Card of the Day” that can help you to be more mindful, give you spiritual insight, and help you to feel empowered. Whether you’re just beginning your tarot card journey or you’ve been doing it for a while, using this routine can be added to your daily practice. It isn’t just about drawing a card, but it is more about setting your intention and developing your intuition.

The Power of a Daily Tarot Practice

This is one of my favorite daily rituals. It has profoundly impacted my spiritual, personal, and even professional development. By leaving my card out on a little stand on my altar—what I call my “power space”—I ensure the card’s message stays with me throughout the day.

Doing this can remind you that you need to take time to reflect and remain focused as you face life head-on. Let the universe guide you and teach you lessons. This can help you to have more clarity and make the most of each and every day.

I invite you to try this for yourself. It doesn’t have to look exactly like my practice; in fact, I encourage you to personalize it. The magic lies in creating a ritual that resonates deeply with your unique energy. Here are ways to make this practice your own while keeping it fun, empowering, and meaningful.

How to Use the Card of the Day Method

One way that you can use the “Card of the Day” method is to reflect on your tarot card readings. After you pull a card, look at the images and interpret the messages the card gives you.

Put the card somewhere that you can see at your desk or on your altar. As you look at the card throughout your day, you will be reminded of the message that the tarot wants to show you. For example, if you pulled The Chariot card, it might remind you that you need to reflect on your challenges and learn how to overcome them.

Take time each evening to reflect on the cards that you pulled and what experiences you had.

• Did the message that the cards gave you resonate with any events or emotions that happened throughout your day?
• Did the cards guide you or help you to make better decisions?

Doing this can help you to understand the cards better and have more awareness and connection to the tarot. Over time, you will be able to see patterns in the cards and in your life so that you can improve your life.

Being Effective in Your Tarot Readings

Before you ever draw your first card, make sure that your deck is ready to use. Cleanse your deck of any past energies that might have stuck due to past readings. This ensures your cards are clear and ready to use. By doing this, you can focus on your own energies and what the cards want to tell you.

Cleansing Your Cards

One thing that you can do to cleanse your cards is to “knock” them. You can hold the deck of cards in your non-dominant hand and gently knock it with your dominant hand. This can get rid of any energy that might be stuck to the cards.

Other methods include crystal cleansing, smudging, or focusing on your deck and setting intentions to cleanse it. Try holding the deck close to your heart and breathing deeply as you thank the cards for guiding you. Doing this can help you make a deeper connection with your deck.

Setting Your Intentions

After you cleanse your deck, set your intentions. This is the most important step to doing your reading. Make sure your question is focused and your intentions have a real purpose.

What are the things you want to know? Ask questions that are based on your goals. Here are some questions you can try:

• “What lesson does the universe have for me today?”
• “How can I navigate challenges with grace?”
• “What energy should I focus on to align with my highest self?”

Feel free to experiment with your questions until you find ones that resonate. The key is to stay open to whatever messages your cards provide, even if they aren’t immediately clear.

Shuffle the Cards and Draw

As you are holding your cards in your dominant hand, set your focus on the cards. Start shuffling. There is no wrong or right way to shuffle. Do this until you are ready.

• A card might jump out of the deck while you are shuffling them, and sometimes readers feel that this is a sign to use that specific card. The card will then give you a message.
• If no cards jump out for you, draw one after you stop shuffling.

Listen to your intuition and let it guide you.

Reflect on the Cards

Look at the card that you have drawn. Observe the colors, images, and symbols. Notice the figures that are present. Does anything stand out to you?

Notice any feelings, sensations, or thoughts that you have—this could be a message that you are getting. Write down in your journal the impressions that the cards leave you. Ask yourself these questions:

• What emotions does this card evoke?
• Are there any symbols that seem especially significant?
• Does the card remind me of a specific situation, person, or theme in my life?

The first feelings or thoughts that you have can be the message that the cards are trying to give you. Trust your initial feelings.

Use Other Tools

There are other tools that you can use when you’re doing tarot readings. Try to use the guidebook or add crystals or other tools that resonate with you.

Here are some questions that you can ask:

• How do the guidebook’s interpretations align with my initial impressions?
• What new layers of meaning can I uncover by combining these perspectives?
• Are there any connections to numerology, elements, or archetypes that deepen the card’s significance?

Remember, you aren’t getting rid of your intuition by using tools; you are just enhancing it. These tools can help to give you a strong message.

Display Your Tarot Cards

Put your cards where you can see them. This will help you remember the guidance they give you and allow you to be thankful for what they offer.

Evening Reflection

At the end of each day, take time to look at the card that you drew earlier.

• What kind of things did you experience that might have been revealed by the card?
• Did you notice any emotions or events that aligned with the energies of the cards?
• What experiences can you take away from these things?

Always journal your reflections so that you can look for patterns and make a deeper connection with the cards.

Benefits of a Daily Card Practice

There are so many benefits to doing a daily card pull. Here are some of the best-known benefits of tarot card practices:

• Clarity and Focus

Drawing a card each day helps you center your thoughts and set clear intentions. It provides a sense of direction and mindfulness as you navigate your day.

• Emotional Support

The cards can comfort you and give you emotional support if you have had a hard day or a hard week.

• Spiritual Growth

Engaging with your cards daily fosters a deeper connection with your higher self and the universe.

• Enhanced Intuition

Doing a daily card draw can strengthen your intuition and help you reach your higher self.

Make Your Tarot Personal

Using tarot cards is a personal practice for you. Make sure that you use the tarot in a way that helps you to meet your needs.

Some people love to add tools such as crystals, as mentioned above, while others love to use incense and candles or take advantage of their altar to make the atmosphere cozier.

Try adding positive affirmations or mantras to your readings to enhance the message of the cards. Meditation and grounding can help you feel on top of the world before you even do your daily pull.

Final Thoughts

The most important part of tarot card readings is to enjoy the cards. Tarot can be used to understand yourself more, for personal empowerment, or to help you connect with the universe better.

Tarot readings aren’t just about doing everything perfectly; they are also about learning about yourself, setting intentions, and trusting your journey.

Doing a daily card pull can give you insight and clarity and inspire you to live your best life. Whether you draw cards on an altar you created or pull them from your couch, this ritual can change your life and help you connect more deeply to your inner wisdom.
