Being pregnant is probably the most delicate state a woman can ever find herself in. So it is no wonder that among all the questions that people approach spirits with, one of the most emotional and sensitive is about fertility and pregnancy. Can cards actually predict when you will finally get pregnant? Well, the trick here is that the answer is mystical and nuanced. Below, we’ll see what a fertility-themed tarot reading is and how you can use a sacred deck to gain insight into your fertility journey.
But before that, what is a fertility tarot reading?
To cut it, it’s a type of tarot reading that is focused on all the issues that have something to do with pregnancy, conception, being a mom, etc. During the fertility tarot reading, the person hits the spirits with a wide range of questions, from when the pregnancy will finally happen to what obstacles are on the way to becoming a mother.
So, what’s the problem?
Unfortunately, the deck is not the medical tests that give you a clear yes or no answer. It’s a more complex, symbolic mechanism that is based on intuition. It serves as a solid emotional support for someone who is in need of energetic insights here and now. With the help of this tool, you can finally reveal hidden fears and uncover patterns that may be the main challenges in your fertility journey.
Is It Possible to Predict Pregnancy Using Tarot?
The possibility of pregnancy – yes. However, you shouldn’t use cards to diagnose your delicate state or confirm it. In other words, never (never!) use the reading séance as an alternative to professional advice from the gyno. At the same time, there is absolutely nothing wrong with using the Arcanas to accurately reflect what’s going on energetically or emotionally in your life, which may play a role in fertility.
Here’s what kind of information you can receive from the deck:
- Your spiritual lessons or emotional blocks that are closely linked to motherhood.
- The most favorable time (the fertile period) when conception is possible.
- Signs that the time for new beginnings has finally come.
- Positive or negative challenges that surround your pregnancy.
- Signs that your family can grow now.
If you do your best to interpret correctly all the messages that spirits send your way, you are sure to feel braver, less nervous, and emotionally prepared for being a mom.
How to Use the Deck to Do Pregnancy-Themed Reading?
First of all, you can do it for anything – either for yourself or someone else. The process is quite simple and quick. If you’re a beginner, we have a tried-and-tested guide below to help you get started:
- Approach cards with a clear intention. Do it before you take the cards in your hands. Take a moment to think of what your intention for this reading séance is. For example, you can keep in mind something like, “I ask for insight into my fertility path and what I need to know about the possibility of getting pregnant.”
- Pick the spread. Again, if you aren’t sure of where to start, we recommend going for the 5-card spread like physical/emotional blocks, the energy around fertility today, what issues support the process, spiritual guidance for conception, and all the potential outcomes in the next [number] of months. If you don’t feel like you are ready for 5 cards, use 3 for the pregnancy possibility. The first card may be based on the “Is pregnancy likely in the near future?” question, the second – “What energy surrounds this possibility?”, and the third – a special advice or message from the Universe. If, on the contrary, you are ready for more cards, a 6-card spread is an option. Each card will represent the following pregnancy-related issues:
- Your readiness to be a mama.
- All the influences from the past.
- Your current situation.
- Future energy around conception.
- All the external influences (family, lover, health, etc.)
- Advice on what to do next.
Are There Cards That Are Traditionally Linked with Fertility?
The point here is that some cards from the Arcanas are directly related to fertility, pregnancy, being a mother, and nurturing energy. We recommend that you look for the following cards:
- The Empress is the number one symbol of fertility, motherhood, and abundance in the deck. It usually pops up when the pregnancy is something a woman really desires.
- The Sun speaks of joy and the innocence of kiddos.
- Ace of Cups is a signal for a new emotional beginning (probably informing you of the upcoming conception).
- Page of Cups is the card that readers usually link with a child or pregnancy news.
- Ten of Cups is the symbol of harmony in a family and a happy home life.
- The High Priestess represents your inner feminine and fertility; plus, it usually indicates secrets that you are going to reveal (for example, early pregnancy).
Be Gentle with Yourself…
Let us face the truth about pregnancy! All the things (including tarot readings) that are related to it are deeply emotional. In other words, you have to approach the deck with sensitivity and compassion on your side. Do not be too harsh on yourself! And if you are someone performing a reading for someone else, never say things like, “You are going to get pregnant in 4 days.” It is a crime. Instead, use the words of possibilities, emotions, and energies. For instance, “Our spread shows a lot of nurturing energy and potential for your family growth,” or “I see some emotional blocks that you have to combat before you get pregnant.” Thus, you’ll avoid precise predictions and keep your querent full of hope.
While fertility-based reading can’t predict your next pregnancy (nobody can!), it can serve as a solid emotional support and empowering perspective in your journey. And remember, you should always consult a doctor for all of your fertility-related issues, and use tarot only as a tool for emotional insight, not an alternative to diagnosis.
