PathandAnswers: Can Tarot Cards Get Tired?

We should change the question and ask, can you get tired? The answer is yes, you can become fatigued after long reading sessions. If you choose to imbue your tarot cards with a humanistic personality then yes, you can also say the cards will get tired.

You will notice that if you ask the same question over and over the answers become curt. It is as if the cards are annoyed at you for asking the same question.

Have you ever asked your parents the same question again and again as a child? How did they respond after the third or fourth question? I bet they became increasingly annoyed with every question. You and the tarot cards will act the same way.

Your subconscious intuition will become fatigued the more you pry into the same thing. You will become frustrated when you don’t get the answer you are looking for. This is an important lesson to learn about your intuition, your subconscious mind, and how to work with the tarot. The tarot’s intuitive power gives you not what you want, but what you need. This is covered in a previous PathandAnswers video here.

The best way to handle this is to create a balanced relationship with the tarot cards and your intuition. Make a select amount of inquiries and accept the response from the cards and your intuition. Ask for clarification and inquire further only if you have a specific direction to go.

There is a difference between using the cards to go deeper into a question and asking the same thing over and over. It is possible to have a reading session tackle one question that becomes unravelled. You can ask the tarot to clarify what a particular card means. This will allow you to ask different questions that help answer your main concern.

In the end, yes, you and the cards can become fatigued. A part of using tarot cards is to know when the session is over. When you can determine your limit, you will have taken one giant step into harnessing a your intuition. Stay well-read.
