Although Tarot is best known as a fortune-telling tool, it can also be used for self-reflection and personal development.
The Tarot can act as a guide to help you reach your goals, aspirations and fulfil your potential.
Each image depicts an event, a phase in your life or state of being.
It contains numerous hidden messages, which can be discovered by immersing yourself into the pictures of the Tarot.
One type of message the Tarot can offer is an affirmation. This is a positive statement, which encourages the practice of positive thinking.
The sentence is kept as simple but as empowering as possible, avoiding negations such as can’t, don’t, won’t, haven’t etc.
An affirmation can be created for each Tarot card.
You can do this by looking at the image and explore its meanings. What is this card advising you to do? What is it trying to teach you?
While the possibilities for each card are virtually endless depending on your feelings, intuition and perspective, here are some sample affirmations for the Major Arcana cards:
The Fool – I look forward to new beginnings and enjoy the journey ahead.
The Magician – I use my all my resources and willpower to achieve my goals.
