4 Divine Times Of Day To Read Tarot

The time of day you’ll want to read your tarot cards can depend on the person. This is because your tarot reading can fluctuate with your energy – which is just one reason why most people recommend avoiding reading tarot cards when you’re stressed, angry, anxious, or sad. But if you’re feeling energetically prepared, what time of day should you be trying to read tarot? Or is it best to just go with your gut?

1. In the Morning

Many tarot readers agree that the morning is the best time to read tarot. Generally, if you’re planning on reading in the morning, you should read the cards right after you wake up or early on in your morning routine. This is because the idea behind reading the tarot cards in the morning is that you can apply them to the rest of your day, so you’ll want to read them as early as possible.

Reading in the morning can be beneficial because your energy is completely fresh. When you read tarot cards as one of the first things you do during the day, you have unlimited energy resources to use on your cards. You also don’t tend to have any negative emotions that could be affecting the cards you pull or your interpretation of them. 

If you tend to notice that you’re a morning person, wake up feeling fresh and reenergized, enjoy having a steady morning routine, or want to rely on tarot cards to help you address problems you face throughout the day, then pulling tarot cards in the morning might be the best time for you.

2. At Night

In the exact opposite of the morning tarot camp is the nighttime tarot readers. Many tarot readers enjoy pulling tarot cards as the very last thing they do during the day rather than the first. This is for a few reasons. First, nighttime tarot readers typically prefer to reflect on the events of the day and allow the tarot cards to help them process any issues they encountered earlier. They also use the cards to guide them through the decisions they’ll make the following day. Plus, the energy they carry with them from the events of the day can affect the cards they pull, which will help them address the most pertinent issues of the day with the cards.

Another reason some people prefer to pull as the last thing they do during the day is so that they can consider the tarot cards while they sleep. Tarot cards are highly connected to energy levels, intuition, and the subconscious. Many readers like to pull at night so that they can ponder the cards while they sleep. They might try to analyze their dreams after a tarot reading or see if they wake up the next morning with any new thoughts. They may also simply allow their subconscious to analyze their tarot readings as they sleep, waking up having processed their emotions and the events of the day with the help of the cards.

3. At A Time Significant To You

If you have a time that is meaningful to you, an angel number you like to receive, or even a time of day where something meaningful happens, then this could be a good time to read tarot cards. For one, your energy levels will be more significant, and often more positive, if you focus on reading during a special time. This might even help to make your readings more unique.

Especially if you follow superstitions or if you have other spiritual beliefs, you may choose to tie these in to your tarot card readings. There’s nothing wrong with starting a reading at the time that represents your angel number or trying to perform a reading during your favorite time of day. These events can positively affect your energy levels and make you feel more prepared to interpret your reading.

4. During Power Astrology Transits

If you feel especially connected to astronomy or astrology, then you may choose to base your readings around the stars and planetary movements. Maybe you want to perform a reading as soon as the moon or sun rises or sets. Perhaps you choose to connect your reading to your zodiac sign – such as by reading under the light of the moon if you are a Cancer. You might perform your tarot reading around the same time as a significant astrological or astronomical event. Maybe you want to perform an extra powerful reading at the time of the full moon or during a lunar eclipse. All of these events can make you and your tarot readings more powerful.
