How reading tarot for myself improves my life...

As everybody does, I have ups, downs and roundabouts to face in life on a daily or even minute to minute basis, so it is great to have a tool to help navigate those that fits into the palm of my hand.  That tool, for me, is my trusty old Robin Wood Tarot cards (this is my all-time favourite deck and has been for 40 years – EEK, how old am I getting lols).
 
I will start each day by drawing a card to help me judge how the day will pan out.  If I have a feeling it is going to be ‘one of those days’ – and there seem to have been a few of these recently, I will draw other cards to help clarify what obstacles may lay ahead and if I have to face them head on or have the chance to navigate around them or even do a U-turn.
 
Using my cards I can tap into the energy field of each member of the household and as an example, see below the surface to who perhaps needs a little extra nurturing or to be left alone for a while.  This by itself will help to iron out any issues before they even arise - how good is that!!
 
I will also use my cards when making decisions on a personal or business level.  This reduces my stress because it is like having someone else helping to give you guidance.  Yes, it is still up to my personal interpretation and I can read the cards to suit how I think things should pan out, but at the end of the day isn’t that just tapping into my intuition and creating a flow of positivity and manifestation.  That’s a win-win in my world.
 
How do you use your cards – or do you have another tool that you use?  I would love to hear all about it in the comments.
