Energy Tarot Reading: Discover Your Energetic State with Tarot and Crystals
Imagine sitting at a softly lit altar with tarot cards and healing crystals at hand. In an energy tarot reading, each card you draw mirrors your inner landscape – your current vibration, emotions, and spiritual direction. The images and archetypes on the cards reflect the patterns and blocks in your energy field. As one expert notes, an empathic reader will “connect deeply with the emotional and energetic state” of the querent and interpret the cards as “reflecting these energies”. In this way, a tarot reading can reveal what feelings or thought patterns are dominant right now, highlighting where you may be out of balance.
How Tarot Reveals Your Energetic and Emotional Patterns
Once the cards are on the table, their symbolism speaks to your psyche and subtle energy. A card like the Ten of Swords might show emotional exhaustion, while The Empress or Lovers could indicate an opening of the heart. Each suit also corresponds to elements and chakras: for example, Pentacles (Earth) ties to Root Chakra issues (stability and survival), Cups (Water) relates to Sacral/Heart Chakra (emotions and creativity), Wands (Fire) to Solar Plexus (will and power), and Swords (Air) to Throat/Third Eye (communication and insight). In essence, tarot and chakras share a “symbiotic relationship” – both act as roadmaps to self-discovery. If a reading points to anxiety (like several Swords cards), it may show your Throat or Third Eye chakras are blocked; if Love appears (e.g., two of Cups or The Empress), it’s a cue that your Heart Chakra needs support. By reading the cards attentively, you start to see your current energy imbalances and emotional wounds laid bare, guiding you to what needs healing or strengthening.
As you reflect on the reading, note which energy centres the cards touch. A spread focusing on past, present, and future, for instance, may reveal a recurring theme: Are you being called to ground yourself (Root Chakra), open your heart, or expand your intuition (Crown Chakra)? Using the tarot in this way is like tuning into an energy alignment map. Once you understand the theme (safety, self-expression, love, insight, etc.), you can connect that insight to specific vibrational frequencies or healing themes. For example, if the cards point to heartbreak or loneliness, the theme is unconditional love and self-compassion. If they highlight stress or fear, the theme is grounding and protection. This mystical feedback loop between card meanings and your energy needs is the foundation of emotional healing with crystals.
Selecting Healing Crystals to Support Your Reading
Once the tarot has illuminated which energy needs attention, you can choose crystals that embody those healing frequencies. Crystals are often called physical manifestations of energy: each one holds a stable, precise vibration. Their rigid crystal structure gives them a “super stable energy frequency” that can influence our more fluctuating human energy. Crystals effectively broadcast a clear frequency that can harmonize and rebalance your aura. One guide explains that crystals “emit frequencies that interact with your body’s electromagnetic field, influencing your vibration”. In practical terms, this means you can pick stones by the color (frequency) or intent that matches the chakra or theme revealed in your reading. You might trust your intuition and let your hand hover over a few until one feels “right” – as you gaze upon a crystal, ask: Does this resonate with me? Do I feel calm or uplifted holding it? Your intuition will guide you to the crystal that aligns with your current energy.
Rose Quartz – Heart Healing: For love, compassion, or grief, rose quartz is a classic choice. Dubbed the “stone of unconditional love,” it carries a gentle pink vibration of pure love and emotional healing. Keep rose quartz near your heart during meditation or sleep. It can “bring deep healing to the heart by opening the heart chakra,” fostering self-love and peace. Many find it replaces negative emotions with positive and calms the heart during times of emotional strain.
Black Obsidian – Grounding & Protection: When your spread highlights fear, anxiety, or scattered energy, grounding is key. Black obsidian or smoky quartz can pull excess energy back to Earth. Obsidian, a volcanic glass, is known as a strong protection stone and grounding energy tool. It acts as “a powerful shield against negativity, absorbing and transmuting unwanted energies”. Meditating with obsidian or carrying a tumbled piece can help release emotional blockages and promote clarity, anchoring you in stability.
Amethyst – Intuition & Spiritual Insight: If the cards highlight spiritual growth, intuition blocks, or stress (crown/third-eye issues), reach for amethyst. Its deep purple vibration resonates with the higher chakras (third eye and crown) – indeed, purple is the “highest vibration color” associated with spiritual insight. Amethyst is prized for calming the mind and enhancing psychic gifts, helping you interpret the tarot’s messages more clearly.
Citrine – Confidence & Joy: For creative blocks or low energy in the solar plexus, citrine (bright yellow) corresponds to personal power and joy. It uplifts the solar plexus chakra, promoting confidence and positivity. Citrine’s sunny vibration is excellent for manifesting abundance and clearing self-doubt.
Clear Quartz – Amplification: Often called the “master healer,” clear quartz simply boosts whatever intention you set. It amplifies the energies of other crystals, making it a versatile addition to your tarot crystal pairing.
Whenever you’re unsure, remember the guides above: choose the color or energy that matches your chakra theme, or simply trust the stone that calls to you. As one crystal healer advises, selecting the right crystal often comes down to inner resonance: “Which one feels aligned with my energy?”
