As for music, it’s an absolutely unpredictable and highly dynamic niche.
Let’s face it: success in music is usually based on a range of aspects, from talent to timing and, well, luck. Taking into account how many uncertainties might be eating you as a musician from the inside, it’s no wonder that sooner or later you may find yourself using non-traditional instruments for guidance. One of the examples of unconventional means is tarot cards. But the question is…can the deck actually predict your future in the field of music? Let’s talk about that.
How It Works
Good question. Before you start peeping into the future of you being a rock star, let’s see how cards work. First of all, the deck consists of 78 cards. Every card has symbolic imagery that shows us different aspects of life. When it comes to the reading séance, you just have to shuffle the deck, pull cards, and interpret their meanings. The interpretation is actually the answer to your question. As for a career in the music niche, tarot readings help make important decisions, boost creativity, and combat potential challenges along the way.
Popular Spreads for Musicians
If it’s your first time ever with the tarot deck, we strongly recommend letting music professionals do the job for you so that you can get a better idea of the process. For example, online tarot reading services like TarotAtlas can perform music-related reading sessions and explain how things work. When you’re aware of the details from A to Z, you can have a solo séance. Below are some of the most common tarot spreads when the question is about a tarot practice for musicians.
- Spread for a career path. Do a 5-card spread in order to examine what influenced you in the past, find out more about your today’s circumstances, obstacles, and unique or/and invisible opportunities, as well as see what kind of outcome you should expect from your current endeavors in the field of music.
- Spread for creative block. Do a quick 3-card spread to see what exactly stands between you and your creativity. Chances are you might re-find your muse in the process.
- Spread for your potential for a successful music career. In this case, a 6-card spread can help you take a look at both your weaknesses and strengths, as well as analyze current opportunities in the market and areas for personal growth.
Tarot Cards + Some Meanings for Musicians
If you’re new to tarot, it’s totally fine that you do not know all the potential meanings of the cards. Below, we provide you with some of the most common ones to make your next reading session less challenging for you.
- The Lovers tend to represent collaboration, harmony, and all the crucial partnerships that are a must-have for a successful career in music. If you draw The Lovers, congrats! It’s a clear signal for strong musical connections. Plus, this card reminds you of the importance of balancing your passion with practical decisions that you make.
- The Star should be seen as the symbol of recognition, inspiration, and hope. It’s a highly positive sign for someone engaged in the field of music and on the lookout for artistic fulfillment and fame.
- The Chariot speaks for success and determination. However, both are achieved through very hard work, when you find yourself close to the breakthrough like never before.
- The Wheel of Fortune brings changes in fortune. What’s more, this card serves as a reminder that persistence and adaptability should be the key ingredients in your daily creative work.
- The Fool is always there to encourage and inspire you to take risks. The Fools tells you, “Don’t hesitate – go on new creative ventures!”
- The Tower is an omen for sudden upheaval. In other words, you should expect certain challenges in your music career or/and a significant industry shift.
So, Should Tarot Cards Be Used to Predict What Comes Next in Music?
Well…On the one hand, the good old deck can clearly show you potential challenges and paths. On the other, however, it never guarantees fortune, success, or fame. What it all comes down to is that tarot reading sessions are simply offering insights that, in turn, help make better decisions. For example, if your cards signal you are about to face a range of obstacles, you can use it as an opportunity to prepare for each and combat them successfully. Plus, if your cards tell you that a time of you being stuck in a creative routine comes, you may use the time you have now to find new sources of inspiration and fruitful collaborations.
Plan Your Career in Music with Tarot!
Gone are the days when artists of all kinds used tarot cards to tell the future. Today, people perform reading sessions all over the globe to self-reflect, (re)find inspiration, see if any challenges are coming, combat creativity blocks, and so on. If you make sure to do reading séances on a regular basis, you can:
- Become clearer about your career goals;
- Know all of your weaknesses and strengths;
- Notice all of the possibilities for your creative potential;
- Be 24/7 ready for any challenges in the chosen industry.
At the Final Note…
If you purchase a tarot deck hoping it’s going to bring you Grammy or/and Oscar, you better not. However, if you’re in need of help in decision-making and self-discovery as an artist, the cards can do the job. It doesn’t matter where you are in this wonderful niche – writing songs, performing on stage, or working as a creative producer – a good old deck can help you juggle all the responsibilities, combat obstacles, and navigate the complex world of the music industry. Not only will you gain more confidence as an artist, but you’ll learn to see opportunities where they at first glance don’t seem to even exist. The cards are not going to tell you when success enters your life, but they can help you do your best to bring that moment closer.
