Using the tarot as the focal point of the reading, a psychic tarot card reader validates his psychic insights with the traditional meaning and positions of the cards to ensure explicit answers to the seeker's questions.

While it is always best to have a psychic tarot reading done in person, these readings can be done by telephone, email or even in Internet chat rooms. These are all legitimate and acceptable. The seeker may be asked for his full name and date of birth, which is the most common information asked for by a psychic tarot card reader. Some readers ask for a photograph or even a handwriting sample in order to connect to the seeker's personal energy or 'aura'. Psychic readers usually have individual requirements and a seeker should simply go with his instincts.

Once the door to the Akashic Record has been opened by the agreement between the seeker and the reader, a wealth of information is available. Tarot cards help to focus on the most vital piece of information about the seeker's past, present and future so that he may plainly see the influences affecting his life. However, tarot is merely a tool that is used in conjunction with the psychic's natural ability i.e. an exercise to increase and corroborate his psychic reading.

Accuracy notwithstanding, a psychic tarot card reading is not engraved in stone. While it will provide a fairly clear picture of the future, it is the future the seeker is co-creating. It is possible for the seeker to alter his future by changing his preferences, outlook and actions. A psychic reading does not guarantee a result; rather it sheds light on the seeker's current path. If he changes his path, it will in turn modify his future.
