In this video I will share my #1 Favorite tip for doing "quickie" ten minute Tarot readings and the 3 things that can derail your 10 min reading and turn it into a long one.

I practice readings using problem pages in magazines. 9 times out of 10 my advice will match what the agony aunt's advice is. It also helps to see how the nuances in the cards adapt to day to day problems in life.

Great tips, thanks so much! My problem with doing a reading is the opposite of yours where I have trouble coming up with and interpretation quickly enough and then finding enough to say.

[ToddAmbrose]

My bread and butter reading is the classic 3 card past-present-future.

Asking a clarity question; remind of time sensitivity, what is ONE QUESTION you have for the Tarot today? A question within a question, Let's choose one of those questions, what's the most important question to read on? You cannot adequately address these questions in 10 minutes and you shouldn't try. Exploration; yes, resolution, no. Aim for a satisfying short reading. Turn their heavy question into a lighter question. "Why did my marriage fall apart?" transform that into "what can I do to move forward right now?" leads to insightful and uplifting reading. Simplify or vague the question, how to be most helpful, notice yourself when rambling, practice on imaginary people, be simple and concise in interpretations, practice wrapping readings up, re-cap the reading, touch on key points, how can I make the most out of this 10 minutes? Focus it on them and what they can do right now to improve things.

I just started tarot and asked strangers online to send in questions so I could practice. I may have completely underestimated the time it took to give readings, lol. Despite it taking up a lot of time, I've had some really great readings so far.

A wrap up method I use and signal that I'm wrapping up the reading is to say "One more thing before we end/wrap up (say the one thing).' I never ask if they have any questions because that always leads to the client extending the reading past the given time.

I keep talking as I feel things come up and it makes it difficult to keep the readings short. Thanks for sharing:)

[stephaniemccabe]

Ty! The simple advice on focusing on what they can do in the here and now really helped me!💚

[lynnemccully]

That was so helpful, Kate, thank you.

[ShakeMyWay]

I haven't done short readings. I've done either email readings or hour sessions. I'd love to be able to do this to work at events and stuff. I've been getting the nudge to do events, so this came at the perfect timing. Thanks for sharing what has worked for you, and how to sidestep some of the biggest pitfalls!

[silentstream]

Your explanation of the three card draw and putting a time limit is a really good idea thank you for being so open and honest in your craft

[GadgetGirlsReviews]

This was so helpful thank you, I’ve never read for anyone before, I use the tarot just for myself, but recently I’ve been wanting to share and maybe consider doing some readings for friends.
But not sure where to start, this has been so helpful thank you, I feel I could actually read for people now.

Super Video. I love doing long deep dive readings but as Im starting to read at events, im looking at how I can still offer helpful content but in 10 Minutes so this has been very helpful. 1 spread - good idea. chill the chat - as my teacher said, "you don't have to over give" (paraphrasing her wisdom). Ill give that some rehearasal :-). Thanks!

[Natalie-wriz]

I work a crisis phone line and some methods remind me of how we work with callers! I haven't done a reading for anyone else yet, I've only been studying for a month, but this is all incredibly helpful. Thank you teacher!

[parnaguidinglighttarotbeyo]

It's just me ...I feel like giving them every detail guidance through card and it get extended for more than specific time limit.. thanks for sharing this tips .

[silentstream]

I love your information it's clear concise pretty much right to the point and in explaining and critiquing what you're saying you were also bring yourself into the picture and how you've helped yourself through struggles I really like that you seem to be very honest and very open I'm getting back into Terrell being a male and I've been struggling with which deck to read and the first deck that I pulled out when I have about 10 decks my first deck to pull out was the Illuminati gilded deck and so far has been really really helping me I think I should stay with us deck for a while till I get my feet wet again

[teejayllyod]

I'm learning cartomacy and still memorizing the different meanings, I prefer this way over tarot cards, because it feels traditional, thanks for the video😀😎
