How to Prepare for a Tarot Reading with a Professional Reader
A tarot reading can be a powerful, transformative experience—one that brings clarity, validation, and insight into your life path. Whether you’re seeking guidance in love, career, or your spiritual journey, knowing how to prepare for your reading can make all the difference in what you receive. If you’re considering booking a session with a professional like me, at Gray Witch Tarot, here’s everything you need to know to get the most out of your experience.
1. Set an Intention
Before your reading, take a few quiet moments to center yourself. Ask yourself: What am I hoping to gain from this session? You don’t need to have a perfectly formed question (though I can help you with that!), but having a general focus or area of concern helps channel the energy in a meaningful direction.
Think of your intention as a lighthouse—you’re not trying to control the outcome, but you’re giving your guides and the cards a direction to follow.
2. Be Open—But Grounded
The best readings happen when there’s a balance between openness and groundedness. Come with curiosity and an open heart, but also keep your expectations in check. The tarot may not always tell you what you want to hear—but it will tell you what you need to hear.
Trust the process. As I often tell clients, even difficult messages are delivered with love, and your guides have your highest good in mind.
3. Ask the Right Questions
Good questions lead to powerful answers. Instead of asking “Will I get the job?” try “What do I need to know about this career path?” or “What energy is surrounding my professional life right now?” These types of open-ended, empowering questions invite deeper guidance—and give you tools to navigate what’s ahead.
Not sure how to phrase your question? No worries—I’ve written a full post to help you with that! Check out How to Read Tarot for Yourself (and Others) for tips on asking aligned, effective questions before your session.
4. Choose the Right Reader
Every tarot reader has their own style. Some are deeply intuitive and spiritual; others are more analytical or straightforward. At Gray Witch Tarot, I blend intuitive channeling, traditional card interpretation, and witchcraft to offer readings that are rich in symbolism, practical in guidance, and magickally aligned with your energy.

5. After the Reading: Integration
Once your reading is complete, take time to reflect. I recommend journaling or revisiting the cards over the next few days. Messages often deepen and evolve after the session, especially once you start applying them to real-life situations.
You may also want to follow up with spiritual practices like grounding, cleansing, or spellwork—especially if your reading stirred up strong energy. I can offer personalized follow-up suggestions during your session if you need support integrating what came through.
