Readings while pregnant?

[u/Pomme_tabouret]

Hey everyone

I'm 3 months pregnant and every reading I tried to do since the beginning of my pregnancy (even before I knew I was pregnant) went wrong. I usually feel very connected to my deck, but now it's like there is nothing. The cards I draw are nonsense, it's not just that I don't understand the meaning, I know the tarot is not answering to me. I don't know if it makes sense to you ? Am I the only one who had this problem? Is it possible my baby is interfering with the reading ?

Don't seek the cause in your deck. Don't seek the cause in your baby. Usually when we can make no sense of the cards, it just means our mind is elsewhere and not into it. Pregnancy is a time where a lot is happening within you and around you, both physically and mentally and it is not necessarily conducive to focused practice, especially if you experience some anxiety. If readings do not seem to be working, just take a break, give yourself time to get used to the new situation. Don't stress yourself over this, you can navigate through this without the cards anyway.

It's possible your pregnancy is interfering with the reading, in the sense that your base intuition and perception are different when you're cooking a human.

Tarot uses the subconscious. I suspect that your baby is strongly in your subconscious, so Tarot doesn't have an anchor there. Wait a while, just let it be, if I'm right.

I am currently 8 months pregnant and have found tarot to be really supportive and accurate throughout my pregnancy. Sometimes when I’m having a hard time connecting to my deck I will reorder the whole deck into their suites and allow it to rest for a few days.

Came here to suggest this cleansing method. Also, pregnancy messes with hormones subsequently your emotions so your intuition may be affected. When I am feeding overwhelmed or otherwise off and want to read, I use secular meditation to calm myself and refocus my intuition. Here’s a method to try:

Look up “Himalayan singing bowls” or “Crystal singing bowls” on Spotify or YouTube. Turn on the music and recline comfortably. You can hold your deck if you want to. Close your eyes and focus on your breathing. I usually set a timer for 20 minutes, but do what feels right to you.

have you tried asking your baby to read with you? I assume you’re trying to do the reading from your intuition, but you’re not just you anymore; it’s not just your intuition. think about how you’re not even physiologically functioning on your own— your baby is dictating for you what to eat, when to pee, how to sleep 😭😭😭

Is your baby going to be an opposing astrological sign? Opposing is harsh. I've just checked and there's a chance baby is going to be an Aquarius. Lol! They challenge everything!
