How to Spot a Fake Tarot Reader?

You want to get a tarot reading but are wondering how to know if a tarot reader is fake or real. There are some key aspects to pay attention to.

Nowadays, many so-called psychics and tarot readers flood the scene pretending to come from generations of psychics in their families. How can we trust them? How do we know if they are telling the truth? Or coming from generations of psychics in a family is a prerequisite to becoming a psychic reader?

We all have psychic powers. Some are more tuned into their intuition and learn how to develop and use them. Some dismiss the existence of them because there is no scientific proof.

Firstly, you do NOT have to be a psychic medium to be a good tarot reader. You DO need to, however, have a strong intuition to read the tarot cards accurately. Anyone can give you the general meanings of the tarot cards. Only a real tarot reader knows how to put those meanings into context.

As there are more con artists in the tarot scene than genuine readers, I hope this blog post will help you distinguish between the two.

Here are some signs that show someone is a fake tarot reader:

1.They make exaggerated claims.

This is one of the first red flags. If someone promises you 100% accuracy, don't waste your money on that person. If someone claims to give you the exact thoughts of someone, run away. If someone claims to make random future predictions, they are only BS'ing you.

No one can do that. Not even the most accurate psychic in the world can be 100% accurate at all times. It is utter garbage. Not even the best medium in the world can give you the exact thoughts someone has in their mind. Tarot is a tool for guidance and reflection, not a magic wand. Genuine readers acknowledge the limitations of the cards and emphasize personal empowerment over miraculous fixes.

2.High-pressure sales tactics.

Be cautious when a tarot reader uses passive-aggressive sales tactics. What are these tactics? For instance, pushing you to book more sessions, purchase expensive "cleansing" services, or buy exclusive products. Authentic readers respect your boundaries. They allow you to make these decisions at your own pace. They never create a sense of urgency or instill fear in you. They don't try to manipulate you into spending more money.

3.Unusually high pricing.

It is reasonable for experienced tarot readers to charge for their time and expertise accordingly. However, over-the-top high fees can be a red flag. Before you decide to purchase a tarot reading, take the time to compare prices from different readers within the tarot community. It's important to conduct thorough research online to ensure you are selecting a reputable and credible reader. Gather as much information as you can about the reader, including their background, experience, and any reviews or feedback from previous clients. Additionally, be wary of readers who charge significantly higher prices without any clear justification or explanation for the increased fee. This process will help you make an informed decision and choose a reader who best meets your needs. Genuine readers make their services accessible and fair. Tarot is there to help anyone and everyone. It is not a tool that is accessible only to the rich.

4.Unprofessional attitude.

Professionalism is a key characteristic of a reliable tarot reader. Look for someone who communicates with clarity, respects appointment times, and maintains a calm, caring, compassionate, and respectful demeanor. If a reader is frequently late, disorganized, or unresponsive, it might be a sign they are not serious about their practice.

5.Fear tactics.

Remember this: A tarot card reading should leave you feeling empowered and enlightened, not fearful or anxious. If a reader focuses on negative energies or claims you are cursed and need their help to remove them, they are likely trying to instill fear in you to exploit your weaknesses and vulnerabilities. True tarot readers offer caring readings. They highlight both challenges and opportunities without resorting to scare tactics.

6.Vagueness.

An honest tarot reading is personal and intimate. It focuses on your specific situation. Do not fall for the readers who give vague or generic advice that could apply to anyone. Skilled and experienced readers use their intuition and knowledge to provide insights that resonate deeply with you. If the reading feels impersonal or too broad, it is not an honest reading.

7.No testimonials or background information about the reader.

The reputation of a tarot reader is important. Before the internet, this was word-of-mouth advertisement. Now, we have more ways to check out and see if the person claiming to be a real tarot reader is telling the truth. If you can not find clear feedback, or if the feedback seems overly polished, walk away.

8.Inconsistent or evasive answers to your questions.

During your tarot session, pay attention to how the reader responds to your questions. If they seem to change their interpretations consistently, or if they seem to avoid a clear answer to your question, it might be a sign that your reader is a fake one. Consistency is crucial in a session. An experienced reader will always give you in-depth answers without beating around the bush. A true reader will not switch their answers based on the clues they gather from you.

9.They always bring up the money.

If a reader's main focus is on how much money they can make from you rather than providing help, it's a warning sign. Authentic tarot readers are passionate about helping others and view their work as a spiritual calling, not just dollar signs. They are transparent about their fees and any additional costs. Their website should be clear about all this information upfront.

10.Trust your intuition.

Lastly, trust your intuition. If you have a gut feeling that the reader isn't genuine, trust that gut feeling. Your inner voice is a powerful guide. A genuine tarot reader will make you feel comfortable, respected, and understood.

In summary, spotting a fake tarot reader is not difficult at all. All you need is to do a little bit of research. When you can spot these red flags, you can find a good tarot reader who will provide insightful and meaningful guidance on your journey. Happy tarot readings!
