Tarot Therapy: Use Your Deck Like a Spiritual Life Coach

I got my first tarot deck years ago, and ever since then, it has supported me through significant life changes, important decisions, and spiritual breakthroughs. My cards are my own spiritual life coach, helping me make sense of my journey through life. I can honestly say that without them, I would probably feel pretty confused!

Tarot allows us to pause, reflect, and connect with our own inner wisdom. It provides us with a sacred space to hear ourselves think and feel with clarity. But what is so great about it, and what can you do to use tarot as a spiritual wellness coach?

Tarot as a Spiritual Wellness Tool

More Than Divination: Tarot’s deeper purpose

As a tarot reader, I have so many people ask me if I think that tarot can always correctly predict the future. My answer? No, because that is not what tarot is solely about.

At its core, tarot is a mirror for the soul. The cards are rich with symbolism, archetypes, and deep emotional truths. By speaking through imagery and metaphor, they invite you to have a deeper dialogue with yourself. It’s like therapy with pictures, storytelling, and the subtle art of intuitive listening.

Spiritual Coaching with the Cards

Many spiritual coaches integrate tarot into their sessions because it helps unlock the insights that words sometimes can’t reach. Whether used as a warm-up tool or a core part of a session, tarot encourages you to see yourself clearly, name what you feel, and explore your patterns with compassion.

Between sessions, your deck can become a personal growth companion. Rituals like pulling a daily card or journaling with spreads help you carry that coaching energy into your everyday life.

The Core Coaching Qualities Tarot Supports

Clarity: Seeing What’s Beneath the Surface

Tarot has a way of shining a light on what’s been hiding in your blind spots: emotionally, mentally, even energetically. Whether you're wrestling with a tough choice or feeling stuck in self-doubt, the cards help you name the truth underneath the noise. They don’t hand out answers, but they do ask the right questions.

Confidence: Trusting Your Inner Compass

There’s power in feeling seen, especially by yourself. Tarot helps validate your gut feelings and strengthens your ability to trust what you know deep down. Spreads like “What’s my next best step?” are perfect for checking in with your intuition and making confident choices from the inside out.

Consistency: Making Personal Growth a Ritual

Like any wellness practice, tarot works best when it becomes a habit. Weekly or daily check-ins build emotional resilience and self-trust over time. Journaling your card pulls helps you notice patterns, track your growth, and stay grounded, especially when life gets chaotic.

How to Use Tarot in a Coaching-Like Way

Setting Clear Intentions for Meaningful Readings

If you are looking to use Tarot as a spiritual life coach, it is helpful to approach each reading like a coaching conversation. What do you want support with? Focus your question or intention before you shuffle. Try prompts like, “What energy am I working with this week?” or “How can I stay grounded when I feel overwhelmed?”

Choosing the Right Tarot Spreads for Guidance

Not every spread is about the future. Choose layouts that encourage reflection and self-discovery. Some favorite spreads of mine are:

• Confidence Spread: What’s working for me? What’s blocking me? What do I need to remember?
• Self-Care Spread: Where do I need more rest? What restores me?
• Inner Critic vs. Inner Truth: What does my critic say? What does my truth know?

Let each card act as an invitation, not a verdict. You’re not bound by the message. You’re being guided.

Reflect, Record, and Revisit

Journaling your readings helps you build awareness and deepen your intuition. Write down the cards, your impressions, and any feelings that arise. Over time, you’ll spot repeating symbols, messages, and emotional growth.

Your Inner Wisdom Is Waiting

You don’t need tarot to tell you what to do. But when used with intention, the cards help you hear yourself more clearly. They guide you to ask deeper questions, notice the signs, and move forward with courage. The more you listen to your inner voice, the stronger and steadier it becomes. By using tarot regularly, you are able to be your own coach in between psychic sessions.
