\when I was first starting out, journalling was a big one. I saved all my readings and at the start I have to say there were many that I had NO idea what they were tryuing to tell me. But I saved all my readings in my journal. And for the ones about the future, I was then able to look back 3-4 months later and see what had actually happened and compare it ot the cards that came up. That was when the light turned on and I had the AHA moment, like "THAT was what they were trying to say." It did a lot to teach me HOW the cards talk to me and the language they use to talk to me specifically.
That was a biggie for me, but there were others too of course. Another turning point for me is learning that you do not h ave to follow the rules (not that there are an hard and fast ones) and you are free to be creative and invent your own methods.
And well, since trust in your intuition and in the source that sends you the ansewrs is such an important part of Tarot, I guess another turning point for me was hearing that when you get that rather uncomfortable feeling in a reading that you have no idea where what you just said came from and that it seemed toi come from nowhere like you were making it up....that that is when you are most in track.
I heard that this is the way it works because when your intution is most on track either: 1) you are pulling things up from your unconsscous mind that consciously you were not aware of. So when they first come up, you have no idea where they came from or how you knew that. OR 2) that you are connecting on a spiritual level to a source that knows the answera and is communicating them to you in a way that you can sense on some level wtih your intuition...
Either way, the point is that the more you have the feeling that you have no idea where what you just said came from and like you must have made it up, the more on track you are. As soon as I heard that, for me, everytime I got that feeling I'd tell myeslfl "Good, now I am REALLY on track." And I just put away the discomfort and wrote down what I saw there in the card. And the more I was able to trust that this was the case, the more and more accurate my readings became.
Also, needless to say, I learnt a ton from everyone here on AT! And for that I will always be grateful.
I personally never did a daily draw thing,. I prefereed to just ask the questions that came to me at the tiem, I was so excited by Tarot and a tool that could answer anything. I am sure I did readingds over 10 times a day though at the start. LOL
