How Long Should You Wait Between Tarot Readings?
One of the most common questions tarot readers get is: “How often should I get a reading?” The answer isn’t one-size-fits-all — it very much depends on your intention, situation, and how you use tarot as a tool.
I have gently refused to give readings to people who want follow-ups too quickly. Of course there’s a worry that they’ll go elsewhere and I’ll lose them as clients, but I’m pleased to say that this hasn’t happened. (Not that I’m aware of, anyway.) People do respect if I don’t feel it’s ethically or spiritually right to give another reading too soon after their first.
If you’re consulting tarot for insight on a specific issue, it’s best to wait at least a few weeks before asking the same question again. This gives you time to reflect, take action and allow energy to shift. Asking too frequently, especially with the same question, can lead to confusion and conflicting messages.
For general guidance or spiritual check-ins, a monthly reading can be a healthy rhythm. This allows you to stay in tune with your path without becoming overly reliant on the cards. Some people benefit from quarterly or seasonal readings, especially around big transitions like a new year, birthday or career change.
However, there’s no “wrong” frequency. The key is to avoid dependency. Tarot should empower you, not make you feel stuck or anxious. If you find yourself needing reassurance from the cards constantly, it might be a sign to pause and ground yourself before coming back for another reading.
Ultimately, it’s important that you trust your intuition. When something feels unresolved or unclear despite your best efforts, that might be the right time to check in with the cards again.
Tarot works best when approached with patience, intention and respect for the process.
