tarot exhaustion?

ive been doing tarot for around six months now and im getting pretty good at it but i have noticed that if i do a few readings for people in one night, i feel drained of energy. is this normal? has anyone had the same experience?

Ice this is very normal to happen just as it happens in spell work also. You are using your energies and therefore you will feel tired. With more experience though you will get used to it and you will be able to read more without getting too tired. When doing readings for multiple people try doing shorter readings for them. I will usually do 15 minute readings if I'm in public and start getting asked to do a lot of readings. If they make an appointment with me then I will give them a full reading and that way you can control the flow of your readings and pace yourself.

yea thats common. hurts when you try to fight through it to go longer.

silvervixen does readings on a regular bases i would talk to her, maybe she has some techniques you could use?

yes thanks. i want to continue doing readings so any help to get through this is appreicated. :)

Try rubbing a couple drops of vision oil before and after your readings, that should help a bit.

I used to suffer with this really bad when I first started reading. It's really important to protect/shield yourself before a reading, as you are merging your energies with the person you are reading for. If the person is generally o.k, and just wants a reading for fun, its not too bad, but if you are dealing with somebody very upset they can drain your energy, and/or you can absorb their emotions especially if you are a very empathic person . Which most people who read tarot usually are.
I would spend some time saying a little prayer, to ask for protection, and surround yourself in white/golden light before a reading, its also good to imagine roots coming out of your feet and into the ground to centre and ground yourself also. I find this really helps, afterwards I would do another little prayer to remove all negative/ draining energies from you, and surround yourself in love and light x
