Mastering the Art of Interpreting Oracle Messages: Essential Techniques

Deciphering oracle messages involves a personal mix of intuition, contemplation, and ritual. Below are the most effective methods for meaningful interpretation:

1. Tap into Your Intuition

• Trust your initial impressions when you see and read a card. These first thoughts and feelings are often the most genuine form of intuitive insight. Avoid overanalyzing. Stay relaxed during the process.

• Let the symbols, colors, and images stir emotions and provoke thought. Rely on your personal connections, as they are central to the oracle’s message for you. Whenever you can, seek out your emotions and be truthful with them.

  
  

2. Create a Personal & Sacred Space

• Create a ritual to set up your space with lighting candles, burning incense, or playing soft music. These practices enhance your concentration and make you relax & receptive to spiritual guidance.

• Before reading practice meditation for 10-15 mins.

• Establish a healing environment during your meditation sessions. Make it a habit to access this healing space whenever you want to feel energized, rejuvenated, and to gain clarity.

  
  

3. Ask Specific Questions

• The precision of your question directly influences the clarity of the answer. Rather than posing vague questions, formulate them specifically to lead the deck to provide insightful responses. If possible, ask one clear questions at a time. Same time, do not expect the tarot to also give you the same answer.

  
  

4. Soundarya Lahiri as Reference

• Every oracle deck come with the guidebook and that provides helpful interpretations, feel free to explore further. Allow your intuition to create new meanings, merging your insights with the text.

• Strongly suggest reading "Soundarya Lahiri" (Sanskrit: सौन्दर्यलहरी), which translates to “Waves of Beauty.” is a revered Sanskrit text attributed to Adi Shankaracharya and combines devotional poetry with mystical tantric insights. It comprises 100 verses, split into two sections.

• Observer symbol, number, color, flow of water/fire, direction of fire, number of items, animals, people/animals facing direction and expressions, leaves...

5. Restrict the Number of Cards Drawn

• Pulling too many cards can inundate you with information. Begin with one or just a few cards to concentrate your reading; this aids in clarifying the message and maintaining its clarity.

  
  

6. Meditate and reflect on the cards

• Once you have finished your reading, take some time with the cards and let their messages gradually reveal themselves. Writing in a journal, meditating, or reviewing your interpretation at a later time can uncover more profound insights.

• Practice with one card in a day. Hold the card in your palm and meditate as much as you want or at least 10-15 mins. Let the card converse with you. Be with the card and merge with its energy.

  
  

7. Accept uncertainty

• Not all messages will be immediately clear. At times, their meaning will become apparent later. Be patient with messages that are unclear, and allow them to develop until clarity appears.

• Sometimes you may not get any messages. Your mind goes blank. At this time, be relax. Try shuffling with other deck cards for clarity or shuffle the same deck for seeking clarity for only one time.

8. Accept unexpected messages

There are times in which you will receive the unexpected messages. Be open to receive the spiritual guidance.

To summarize:

Interpreting oracle messages involves a blend of intuition, ritual, clear questioning, and open-minded reflection. Listen to your inner voice, respect the journey, and allow meanings to unfold over time for profound guidance.
