She had always thought that it was much better to get a tarot reading\ndone in person. Can you do a tarot reading for someone who is not present?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"snippet\">An accurate tarot reading does not require reader and client to be in the same room. In fact, for mood-sensitive psychics who do not want their energy to be disturbed, an arrangement where the reader and the querent are in different locations can be preferable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My\nfriend did not initially feel confident in a distance reading. However, she was\nin communication with the reader via text and felt that she received a very\ngood reading when it was completed.&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s look at this subject in more details.  (Look for more related articles at the bottom of this post)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to prepare for a tarot reading with someone who is not\npresent<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Completing\na reading with someone who isn\u2019t present is the same as performing a reading\nwith someone who is present (except they aren\u2019t right in front of you).&nbsp; You will want to center yourself, focus on the\npresent.&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether\nyou are the querent or the reader, it\u2019s important to focus on what you want at\nthe moment.&nbsp; Try to eliminate any undue\ndistractions.&nbsp; Find a quiet place and center\nyourself.&nbsp; You can do that by closing\nyour eyes and focusing on your breathing.&nbsp;\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Breath\nin, feel how the air flows in through your nostrils.&nbsp; Feel how your chest expands and feel your\nbody become erect.&nbsp; Feel the inward breath\nslow and stop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then\nbreath out.&nbsp; Now feel the air move out\nthrough your mouth and nostrils.&nbsp; Feel\nyour body and chest as the air moves out of your lungs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The\nquerent will provide their question and the reader can choose a spread to make\nthat reading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Communicating during the reading while not present<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Ideally,\nyou can communicate with each other during the reading.&nbsp; As the reader receives information from the\ntarot spread, she can ask clarifying questions and provide more details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There\nare a number of ways you can communicate:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>By phone<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>By text<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>By skype<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Through Zoom<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>By private message<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Or one of many other options\u2026<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If you were having a reading in person, then the tarot reader would lay down a spread and ask clarifying questions.&nbsp; The tarot cards have many different interpretations and if she can\u2019t communicate with the querent, then she is more likely to offer a more general reading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By\nopening lines of communication, the querent can receive a much more specific\nreading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote has-background is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\" style=\"background-color:#d3d3d3\">\n<p><strong>Tarot Reading, 5-Minutes Free!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;ve recently started working with an online psychic reading company and I&#8217;ve received some great feedback.

Read this article I wrote about &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/vekkesind.com\/what-are-the-best-questions-to-ask-in-tarot-readings\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">what are the best questions to ask in a tarot reading?<\/a>&#8220;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tarot reader clarification for a querent who is not present<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>What if you are performing a reading for a querent who is not present and their card spread it vague? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If\nyou find yourself struggling during the reading because the message you are\nreceiving is not clear, pull additional cards! There is nothing wrong with\n\u201cbreaking\u201d a spread if that is what it takes. Do not feel constrained by rules\nthat will get in the way of your deeper understanding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alternatively,\nyou can change your tack by phrasing your inquiries in a different way. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Focus on open-ended questions. For instance, client might have doubts about the faithfulness of their partner. I<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>nstead of going with a yes\/no question, try <em>\u201care there any obstacles getting in the way of my client\u2019s relationship?\u201d <\/em>or <em>\u201chow can my client communicate better with their partner?\u201d<\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These\nopen-ended queries offer a wide array of angles to find a satisfactory answer\nto the issue at hand, even if the querent is not present during the reading. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Post reading follow up<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If the reading was completed and no\ncommunication was made during the reading, then there may be a benefit from a\nshort follow up communication at a time when the querent and tarot reader can\nspeak or at least text back and forth.&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In some cases, this could be beneficial. However, this post reading communication should occur fairly soon after the reading.&nbsp; Energy changes, lives change and events happen, sometimes the tarot reader may not get the same flow of information if too much time has passed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can I ask for a reading on behalf of a third party?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes we are having a tarot reading and want to ask about our spouse or daughter or son, or someone else who is close to us.&nbsp; Asking about someone other than yourself is considered a \u201cthird-party\u201d reading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most tarot readers subscribe to a code of ethics that prevents them from providing readings for third-party individuals who aren\u2019t present.&nbsp; Reading should be completed between 2 people who have given permission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"snippet\">Reading can be a very personal experience and it\u2019s not right for us to ask about others.&nbsp; And, it\u2019s not right for a tarot reader to provide details to us about others.&nbsp; No matter how great the news might be, we shouldn\u2019t ask.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another\naspect of this is the accuracy of the reading.&nbsp;\nIf you are asking about a family member or close friend, your energy\nwill be mixed into the request.&nbsp; The\ntarot reader may not be able to provide an accurate reading anyway.&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Relationship Question Example:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You\nare in a relationship and something seems off.&nbsp;\nYou ask for a tarot reading and ask the following question, \u201cIs my\nspouse cheating on me?\u201d&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This\nis a \u201cthird party\u201d question?&nbsp; It feels\nlike that question should be ok.&nbsp; You want\nto know about your relationship, but the question should be phrased\ndifferently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead,\nyou could ask something like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Is this relationship benefiting me?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How can I build trust with my spouse?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>What should I know about my relationship?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>What should I do in this relationship?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>By asking questions about yourself, rather than another person, you will get a much better reading and come away with the information that you want to move forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I also wrote an article about <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vekkesind.com\/what-are-the-best-questions-to-ask-in-tarot-readings\/\" target=\"_blank\">what are the best questions to ask in a tarot reading?<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">New to Tarot reading and want practice &#8211; A reading with someone who is not present is a great option<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>New\ntarot readers, perhaps coming from a place of insecurity, may be terrified at\nthe prospect of telling a stranger what to do, especially when a stranger is\nsitting right in front of them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote has-background is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\" style=\"background-color:#d3d3d3\">\n<p><strong>Tarot Reading, 5-Minutes Free!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;ve recently started working with an online psychic reading company and I&#8217;ve received some great feedback.

This may be further exacerbated by the fact tarot cards can fetch a\nsignificant price. Their delicate construction and artwork can overcome the\nreader with the fear of \u201cruining\u201d them, especially when shuffling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The\nsituation is even more complicated for readers whose family or relatives\ndisapprove of the occult. Such readers might not be allowed to have friends or\nclients over for a reading \u2013 or to even own tarot cards at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are forums like reddit where you can join a community and offer readings to fellow reddit members.&nbsp; You can complete these readings for free or for a fee.&nbsp; Neither you or the querent will be present and you can communicate via the messaging system on reddit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To put yourself further at ease, luxuriate in the fact that you do not have to meet a client in person in order to do an accurate reading. Nobody will judge you for fumbling with the cards, struggling to remember their meanings, or peeking at a guidebook for assistance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is just you and the Universe. Relax, take a deep breath, and let the strength of your inner wisdom guide you forth!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Final words<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Reading tarot for someone not present is doable. More than a mere set of playing cards, the tarot is a tool to connect with our subconscious and the energies that make us human. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Universe has blessed us all with a well of inner wisdom, and when we tap into it, we connect on a deeper level where time and space do not matter. This is where we all become one and where truth and guidance previously inaccessible come within our reach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Completing\na tarot reading should be done for someone who has requested the reading.&nbsp; You should not be doing a reading for someone\nwho has not asked you for a reading.&nbsp; You\nshould also avoid doing a reading (or asking for a reading) about someone other\nthan yourself.&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To your success and a wonderful reading while both parties are not present.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Get a Psychic Reading, 5 Minutes Free<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are interested in getting a tarot reading, then as a VekkeSind reader, you can get <a href=\"https:\/\/vekkesind.com\/5-min-tarot-reading\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">5 minutes free<\/a>. <a href=\"https:\/\/vekkesind.com\/5-min-tarot-reading\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Try it now, click here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019d love to hear about your experience.&nbsp; Please connect with me, after you\u2019ve had a reading\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Related Articles<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/vekkesind.com\/what-are-the-best-questions-to-ask-in-tarot-readings\/\">What are the best questions to ask in a tarot reading?<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/vekkesind.com\/will-tarot-tell-my-future\/\">Will tarot tell my future?<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/vekkesind.com\/what-is-more-accurate-tarot-or-astrology\/\">What is more accurate, Astrology or Tarot?<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/vekkesind.com\/can-you-share-your-tarot-reading\/\">Can you share your tarot reading?<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/vekkesind.com\/when-the-devil-tarot-card-is-positive-7-meanings-explained\/\">When the Devil tarot card is positive.&nbsp; 7 meanings explained<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/vekkesind.com\/how-is-astrology-and-tarot-related\/\">How is Astrology and Tarot related?<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Items I Recommend!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Have you ever wanted the sound of the ocean splashing in the background as you work at your desk, or cook dinner in the kitchen?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2Cgwy6g?tag=vekkesind0c-20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">White Noise Maker<\/a> is something I use every day.
