Tarot for Business (this blog is for the witchy business owners)

You’re feeling stuck in your business, unsure whether to burn it all down or keep going at it. You've analyzed the data, consulted with your team (aka your insta friends), and still, the next move isn’t clear. Using tarot for business insights might sound a bit unconventional, but it’s a good tool for gaining new perspectives and tapping into your intuition. Think of it as a fun way to brainstorm and reflect.

Setting Your Intention

Before diving into a tarot reading, it’s crucial to set a clear intention. Your intention should be specific and relevant to your business needs.

Here are some examples:

“How can I improve communication within my team?”

“What should I focus on to make more money?”

“What are the potential challenges and opportunities for my business this quarter?”

The Emperor: Leadership, structure, and authority. It may indicate a need to establish order and take a commanding role.

The Wheel of Fortune: Change, cycles, and the ups and downs of business. It’s a reminder that success often involves riding out fluctuations.

The Tower: Disruption and sudden change. While it can be daunting, it often precedes necessary transformation and growth.

Practical Applications

  • Use tarot to explore potential directions for your business. Draw cards for different strategies and compare the insights. For example, if considering two marketing strategies, use a decision-making spread to weigh the pros and cons.

  • Curious about team fit or potential conflicts? Use tarot to foresee potential challenges. For instance, a three-card spread can reveal past influences, current team energy, and future dynamics.

  • Before launching a new project, use a business strategy spread to foresee possible challenges and advantages. This helps you see potential challenges opportunities early.
