How to perform a Timings or Forecast Reading using Tarot

Saira Kadeer • Mar 01, 2023
Interested in performing an accurate and detailed Timings or Forecast Reading using the Tarot? Read on to find out exactly how.

1. Pick a person to work with

2. When doing a reading, try and stay away from specific dates, because these give too much of a narrow timeframe. This can lead to problems with things being pushed back because of the narrow 24 hour time frame. 

We want to work with seasons, numbers, how to get timings for days/weeks/months/possibly years. 

What we are looking for is a general theme for the specified time period. 

So for a 12 Month Reading, initially look at the Numerology; is there going to be a changing theme over that period of time? Use their Date of Birth for the Reading, along with the present year.

3. Start with your side cards and lay them all out. See what information you can get from them to give a mini reading to the person you are reading for. The key areas of focus are work, love, home, finances etc. We tend not to go specifically into health, although we may touch on it slightly on occasion. We are not doctors, and cannot diagnose, so it is always best to avoid this topic! A mini reading can be really helpful when you come to do the main forecast, because it can help you see what the forecast is saying.

4. Always keep it simple. Overcomplicating is not necessary. So for a 12 month Reading shuffle your deck and pull out 12 cards. Lay them out in front of you, and go through each month for each card i.e. one card represents one month. 

- Pentacles would relate to work or money
- Wands are to do with personal ambitions and things we are passionate about
- Swords are the mental aspect and creative ideas
- Cups represent all of the emotions.

Use your judgement with what comes through. 

What happens if you do a 12 month reading and there is some detail missing?

For example, if someone asks when they will get a new job, but the forecast hasn’t touched on this, then I would recommend shuffling the cards whilst thinking about the question. Take the top card and see what it shows. Delve deeper and see what the shuffled cards show for the specific question. Once the cards start to not make much sense with regard to the question, then leave them; they have answered as much as you need to know, so do not read any further into them.

If you were doing a six month reading you would use six cards. For a month ahead you would use four cards (one card per week) For a week ahead reading you would use seven cards. As before, adapt the card to the timeframe. 

One thing to remember
It can be difficult when you go into comparison mode - i.e. personally I always get the card that answers the question straight away. This isn’t because I am amazing! It is because I’ve worked with the same cards religiously for a very long time. They are as in tune with me as I am with them. With the Mystic Power Deck I am still learning those as they are a new deck. Although I created them, I am still learning how to get them to tune into my energy in the same way that my tarot cards do.

When you don’t get the answer straight away it is worth looking into why; is there something holding you back? Or is there something sat in the way which is hiding and obscuring the answer? These are things that you can consult your tarot over yourself.

I have been lucky in the sense that I have not experienced a lot of bereavement in my life. But when my father died, which was sudden, I was definitely forewarned by spirit.

Are you seeking a deeper connection with your inner self and the universe around you? Tuning into your third eye may be just what you need. The third eye, also known as the pineal gland, is a powerful source of intuition and spiritual insight. By opening and activating your third eye, you can access heightened states of consciousness and tap into your inner wisdom. In this blog, we'll explore the benefits of tuning into your third eye and provide some tips on how to do it. To start with, the third eye is a chakra that is located on your forehead, just above your brow and between your eyes. You can work with this energy in a multitude of ways, but the best way to start tuning into it is to close your eyes. You don’t want images from the real world clouding what you see through your third eye. Then what you should ideally start to get is imagery - this is your ‘psychic sight’. Think of it like a magnifying glass that a detective would use. If your third eye is truly open you will get vivid dreams, see things quite clearly, you might even see your spirit guide. In order to get to the meaning of the vision you are seeing, you need to use the other chakras. You cannot use the third eye alone. Perhaps next time you watch the news and there is a missing person report, turn the TV off and close your eyes. Tune into what your third eye is seeing. Maybe it’s water, or a building, or a number. Really see what it is telling you. Then watch the rest of the news report and check if any of the details match your vision. You could think of your third eye like a laser beam, scanning around for things. So for example, if someone was unwell, you could ‘scan’ their body to see inside and find out what is wrong with them. You could even use this scanning technique to see behind a closed door. I’d like to challenge you to spend a week practising seeing through your third eye! Every night before you go to sleep, close your eyes and see what you can see through that third eye. Willfully open it. See what spirits, energies, colours - in fact anything - are around you. Once you start to see things through it, you can start to visualise things and piece them together. You could use the technique of psychometry, where you hold an object in your hand, such as an item of jewellery, an old coin or a photograph of someone who has passed away. You can then close your eyes and instruct the imagery that you wish to see, for example you might want to see things from their life, or who owned the object. You can then note what you see down. If you keep practising this skill then it will become more and more natural to you, and you will really start to see patterns and be able to give accurate information based on the questions that you ask your third eye! In conclusion, tuning into your third eye can be a transformative experience that can lead to greater self-awareness and enlightenment. By practising meditation, mindfulness and other techniques, you can learn to activate and harness the power of your third eye, unlocking hidden potential and accessing a deeper understanding of yourself and the world around you.

Whether you are a seasoned psychic, or just starting out, this guide will provide you with the necessary knowledge and tools to deliver a powerful and accurate reading. With the right mindset, techniques and preparation, you can help your clients gain insight, clarity and guidance for their lives. So, let's dive in and explore the art of giving an effective psychic reading! Ideally you would be looking to fill around 30-60 minutes of time for an effective live reading session. These might be in person, or on a platform like Zoom. You need a structure to be able to do a psychic reading. One that you are comfortable with, and one that you have developed effectively. When I started giving psychic readings I used psy cards, tarot cards, rune stones, chakra dowsing, and I would sometimes pull out an angel card at the end. However, ultimately you need to develop your own structure. When you are starting out, it’s fine to have notes to one side to help guide you. You don’t have to be brilliant straight away, it’s a gradual process. You need to ensure that your comfort zone is well and truly in place! That said, always try to push your comfort zone to be a better version of you - this will provide your clients with the best version of you, and therefore they will get the reading results that they desire. Don’t feel the fear of getting it wrong. Don’t ever let that hold you back. Be brave and go for it! To start with, I deal out my psy cards and see which ones I am drawn to. Once I have exhausted that I then pull them all together, shuffle them and repeat the process. I usually do that about three times. I then move onto my tarot, dealing out a set of cards to build on what I got from the psy cards. Expanding out and thinking about what else I need to be looking at. If you get really stuck during the reading, think about the main areas of life. The areas of life to focus on are: work, love, family, home and money. I tend not to cover health during a reading - if you are clear about that with yourself, then your guides will tend to work around these during a reading. Your guides will help you stick to your rules. It’s your job to be the translator or intermediary for yours (and their) spirit guides. There will be a four way conversation going on between you, the person you are reading for and the cards. You need to be able to turn those ‘random messages’ that come through into something meaningful. It is entirely possible to go from random messages, to something more comprehensive, that covers lots of areas. The idea is to elongate the reading and make it engaging. You need to find a way that makes you a good psychic medium. Sometimes you might get the same message, but it presents itself in different ways. That is when I would consult more than just the cards. I might then do some chakra dowsing for example. Five minutes before the end of the reading, invite questions about anything that they aren't clear on, or that need answering for them. However, if you have been thorough and proactive during the reading, giving as much information as possible, then questions should be very few (if any) at the end of a successful reading. If you really feel that the reading is ‘drying up’, then always be honest and say that you have been guided as much as you can be, and wrap the session up earlier. In terms of charging for this, then always offer a refund of the unused time. In summary, over time you will develop, tune in more, improve, understand how to give more and therefore give quality readings. The journey should be fun, so enjoy it and keep practising!

The 12 Star Signs and how you can best use your Star Sign for Manifesting
by Saira Kadeer 23 Jan, 2023
Each Full Moon and New Moon (every two weeks) is ideal to manifest the things that will bring greater joy to your life, or even to those around you. Moons fall within a star sign, and when this falls within your star sign then it will be really powerful for you! They are also super strong when it falls within another sign within your element i.e. if you are one of the water signs, and the moon is in another water sign. Read my blog to find out what your Star Sign means for you.

Pumpkins are ripe for the picking around Harvest time and are synonymous with the turn of the season as autumn leaves scatter the ground. They’re a sign of gratitude, abundance and generosity as they’re full of seeds that can be planted to grow more pumpkins. But in Halloween traditions, they’re placed outside people’s houses to scare bad spirits away. But are they?

Geomancy covers all areas of your life. It is an ancient divination art that dates back to at least the mediaeval times. Traditionally this was something that women would do, in fact it was associated with witches. Interestingly, you don’t have to be psychic (or a witch!) to do this. Find out how to create your own Geomancy chart in this blog.

When I first started my psychic business it was never at the top of my wish list to be on TV. In fact, as an introvert, being in front of an audience terrified me! Just the thought of it would take me outside my comfort zone. BUT little did I know the universe would have different plans for me. Read about how I got my first job on TV and how you don't need to actively manifest something to make it happen.
