Tarot reading can take many forms, each with its unique purpose and approach. In my practice, I focus not on divination or predicting the future, but rather on using tarot as a tool for self-reflection. I aim to help individuals connect with their intuition and cultivate trust in their sensitivity.

Adopting this perspective makes tarot a sacred practice for inner exploration and empowerment. In essence, tarot can serve as a means to develop your intuition and embrace feminine energy. Here are two sacred feminine benefits of tarot reading:

Foster Connection to Archetypes

Interestingly, our menstrual cycle comprises four different phases: maiden (just after menstruation), mother (ovulation), enchantress (just before menstruation) and witch (during menstruation). During each phase, we interact with the world in different ways. The enchantress phase is best expressed through symbols and archetypes. Using tarot during this phase can support how enchantress energy processes events and information. Intuition and creativity peak during this phase, allowing a more profound connection to symbols and metaphors. The veil between conscious and unconscious is thin, mirroring the tarot's rich archetypal language.

However, the use of archetypes and symbols is not only beneficial during the enchantress phase. Feminine energy is non-linear, unlike masculine energy. She can appear chaotic in her feelings. The information we feel from sacred feminine energy is not necessarily verbal, clear or even logical (although it does have its own logic). But how it works is often different from what we're used to if we've been brought up to use predominantly masculine energy. So, archetypes and symbols can be a way of understanding feelings and making more spontaneous - or ancestral - connections. It's also a way of anchoring feelings and giving simple, clear references.

Empower Your Decision-Making

When we start working with sacred feminine energy, the temptation can be to reject masculine energy. It is deeply understandable, especially for women who have felt suffocated in a context that pushed them to overuse masculine energy. The resulting fatigue can lead to an intense desire for change. And it's important to welcome this need to embrace feminine energy. Nevertheless, the more room we give feminine energy, the more naturally a balance is felt between it and masculine energy. Evolving purely in feminine energy can make things chaotic, intense and out of balance with the real.

Using tarot can foster balance within us. The intuitive nature of the cards allows us to connect with our feminine energy. It's also important to acknowledge the beauty of the cards; beauty is something that nourishes and restores this energy. Taking a moment to sit down with a cup of hot tea, a candle, and a few tarot cards honors our need for beauty and non-linear experiences. When faced with a decision, engaging with tarot can create space for our feminine energy.

Paradoxically, as we allow this energy to be felt and expressed, our masculine energy can also emerge, leading to clear and organized actions. Both energies can progress together when each is granted the time and space to be truly heard.

To sum up, tarot reading helps you embrace feminine energy's non-linear, creative aspects while fostering balance with masculine clarity. In a world that pushes us, as women, to express ourselves too much in feminine energy, this can represent a simple and playful anchor to regain balance.
