This is the second post in my series of articles that talk about how to go about ‘Connecting With Your Tarot Cards’.

In the previous post, we discussed how to use Journaling with your Tarot cards to get connected with your Tarot cards. Another process that you can use to get connected with your Tarot cards is called ‘A Card A Day’.

This process can also be used in conjunction with the Journaling process that we looked into in the previous article.

So, without any further ado, lets find out how we can connect with our Tarot cards using the ‘Card A Day’ method.

A Card A Day – Bare Bones

This process is pretty simple to explain, really. All you have to do is spend your entire day with just one card. Ok, ok, this doesn’t mean that you don’t do anything else the whole day – in fact, I encourage you to go ahead and do your everyday activities in full swing.

The only thing is that you carry the card with you wherever you go. See, its pretty simple, right?

Which Card?

Well, you have two options:

1. You go through the cards one-by-one, in the same way that they are arranged in in your Tarot card deck, or,
2. You just randomly choose a card from the entire pile of cards: just put the cards face down and spread them fan-like, over your spread cloth and choose a card for the day.

Ok, I Chose The Card, Now What?

A few points to keep in mind though:

• If you are going to carry your card in your purse or pocket just make sure it won’t get bent or torn while you carry it around.
• If you are like me and carry a notebook / diary with you everyday, then you can even put your card in there just so it remains safe.
• Another alternative is to keep the card in a safe place all day – some place like your desk (at work) or your altar (at home) – where you can see it whenever you want to.

A Card A Day – Put Some Meat On Those Bones

[singlepic id=35 w=320 h=240 float=right] While you carry that card of the day around with you all day, here are a few things that I would like for you to do / note / observe:

• First things first: use your journal to write down your first impressions about the picture on the card.
• During the day, notice the different things that happen around you or in your life that might correspond to the image or your impressions about that image on the card.
• During the day, whenever you look at the card, try to think of something else that pops up into your mind about the picture on the card.
• At the end of the day, note down all these points into your journal.
• Now do the other / next steps that were outlined in the journaling process that we talked about earlier.

This way, you now will have a whole bunch of observations that will help you to add a lot of meaning and interpretations into the card’s image.

A Card A Day – Another Approach

[singlepic id=36 w=320 h=240 float=left] Now, here’s another approach that you can take with the Card-A-Day process. This will work especially if you choose a random card from the deck to carry around with you during the day.

This way, you will probably end up with a card that is relevant for you during that day. In fact, while you pull out the card for the day, you can even ask the cards to guide you towards the right card for you. You can choose a random card that will:

• Give you guidance / lessons for the experiences of the day, or,
• Give you a predictive analysis for the day.

Either way, the next steps will be the same as the ones mentioned above where you observe the things that go on during the day and connect it with the card’s image.

Using either of these approaches, you are essentially spending time with that card for the entire day, and are inviting the energies / lessons from that card into your day. This will give you a more experience-oriented connection with the card that you have chosen for the day – thus deepening your connection with it.

Again, this process is not a short-term solution – but then what Tarot process ever is, eh?
