Kindle Notes & Highlights
Tarot can be an unbiased friend to you. Though, tarot has its limits, too: try not to ask about the exact same problem more than once a week. You can tell when the tarot is getting fed up with you.
Before each reading, consider lighting a candle and getting into a calm mind space. That might mean loading a Zen playlist, doing some yoga stretches, or meditating.
