Using Tarot to Align with Your Higher Purpose

There was a time in my own journey when I kept asking myself, Why am I here? I felt the pull of something deeper, but every time I tried to make sense of my purpose, I only ended up more confused. Books, self-help courses, even long talks with friends — none of it gave me that true inner clarity. Until one day, I sat down with my Tarot cards and asked from the heart: What is my soul trying to show me?

That one spread changed my life.

The answer didn’t come as a thunderbolt — it unfolded slowly. One card at a time, the Tarot revealed aspects of my life I had been ignoring, blind spots I didn’t know existed, and gifts I hadn’t given myself permission to share. It was like peeling back the layers of a forgotten map, leading me closer to who I really was. That’s when I knew: Tarot wasn’t just a tool for answers — it was a mirror for the soul.

What Does It Mean to Align with Your Higher Purpose?

Your higher purpose isn’t a title you can put on a business card, a role you’re handed by someone else, or even a single life mission you must figure out by a certain age. It’s something deeper. It’s the quiet, steady frequency of your soul — the blueprint of who you truly are beneath every layer of expectation, fear, and conditioning. It’s not about doing more; it’s about becoming more of yourself.

When you are aligned with your higher purpose, you feel it — not in your mind, but in your energy. Things begin to click. You experience a kind of inner “rightness,” a flow that isn’t always easy but always meaningful. There’s a clarity that comes not from certainty, but from resonance. You know in your body when something feels aligned with your essence — and you know just as clearly when it doesn’t.

But the truth is, most of us weren’t taught how to listen to that voice. We were taught to follow formulas, to chase approval, to quiet our intuition in favor of logic or tradition. So we end up feeling disconnected, lost, or as if we’re living a life that belongs to someone else. We might be “successful” by the world’s standards and still feel empty inside.

That’s where Tarot comes in — not as a tool for fortune-telling, but as a bridge back to yourself.

Tarot isn’t about prescribing your future; it’s about reflecting your truth. Each card carries a vibration, an archetype that speaks directly to your subconscious and your soul. When you lay the cards down with intention — especially when guided by someone who can tune into your energy — what emerges isn’t random. It’s a mirror of your inner world. It’s a conversation with the part of you that’s been waiting to be heard.

In my own practice at Tamas Medium Studio, I’ve witnessed again and again how Tarot becomes a portal to higher clarity. I work with clients who come feeling stuck, unsure, or fragmented — and through intuitive, personalized readings, we uncover something profound. Not just answers, but alignment. Not just direction, but remembrance.

I don’t claim to give people their purpose. No one can. But what I offer through my readings — especially in my Life Path & Spiritual Growth Readings — is a space where your soul’s voice can finally rise to the surface. Where the noise quiets, the masks drop, and something timeless speaks.

Sometimes the message is subtle: a nudge toward healing an old wound or reclaiming a forgotten dream. Other times, it’s bold and direct — a call to completely shift direction and trust the unknown. Either way, it’s always loving. Always purposeful. Always uniquely yours.

Aligning with your higher purpose isn’t a one-time event. It’s a continuous unfolding. It’s a sacred dance between your free will and your soul’s plan. It might ask you to make courageous choices, to step away from comfort and into your calling. But it will never lead you astray.

And the beauty is, you don’t have to do it alone.

If you’re reading this and something stirs within you — a whisper, a warmth, a sense of this is what I’ve been missing — I invite you to follow that. Your higher purpose is already within you. Sometimes it just needs a little light to find its way back.

The Magic of the Right Questions

Tarot isn’t just about answers. In fact, the real magic often lies in the questions. The way we ask shapes the way we receive. That’s something I’ve witnessed time and time again in my readings — not just with others, but in my own spiritual journey.

It’s easy to fall into questions like “What should I do?”, “When will this finally happen?”, or “Why is this person acting this way?” — and these are valid feelings. Life can be confusing, frustrating, and overwhelming. But what I’ve learned is that those kinds of questions often bring surface-level responses. They keep us stuck in the loop of needing external validation, as if our power lies somewhere outside of us.

The turning point happens when we begin to ask different questions — deeper ones.

Questions like:
✨ “What energy am I being called to embody right now?”
✨ “What soul lesson is unfolding through this situation?”
✨ “Where am I being asked to surrender or grow?”
✨ “How can I best align with my inner truth in this moment?”

These kinds of questions open a completely different door. They invite wisdom from your higher self, your spiritual guides, and the part of you that already knows. They shift your perspective from victimhood to empowerment — from needing to control, to choosing to understand.

When clients come to me for a Life Purpose Reading, this is exactly the kind of sacred inquiry we enter into. I don’t just read the cards — I listen to the energetic story they’re telling. I tune into the spiritual contracts you’re navigating, the karmic patterns that may be surfacing, and the gifts that are ready to awaken within you.

Sometimes, we uncover hidden talents that have been buried under self-doubt or fear. Other times, we gently bring awareness to soul wounds that are asking for healing and integration. It’s not always easy — but it’s always deeply validating. The cards reflect what’s already true, even if you haven’t given yourself permission to believe it yet.

One client recently came to me feeling lost in their career and unsure if they were wasting time. Instead of focusing solely on “Should I stay or go?”, we explored: “What part of me is being mirrored in this job?” and “What inner gifts want more space to breathe?” The answers were profound — and rather than getting a yes/no, she received a soul map. A deeper knowing of what her presence was truly here to offer.

These readings aren’t cookie-cutter. Every soul is unique, and every message is personal. That’s why I offer a wide range of readings designed to support your alignment — whether you're navigating a life transition, a spiritual awakening, or just seeking clarity on your next step.

The right question is often more important than the right answer. Because once you ask with sincerity, the Universe willrespond. Tarot simply becomes the language through which that response is heard.

If you’ve been feeling stuck, uncertain, or disconnected from your path, I invite you to try asking yourself:
💫 “What am I ready to understand more deeply?”
💫 “What does my soul want me to know right now?”
💫 “How can I honor my truth, even if it scares me?”

And if you’re ready to go even deeper, I’d be honored to support you through a guided, heart-led Tarot experience that speaks directly to your spirit.

Reading the Signs: A Personal Story

There are moments in a reading when something much deeper than words begins to flow — when the cards become a mirror, not just to the present moment, but to a soul that is ready to be seen again. I’ll never forget the reading I did for a woman I’ll call Eliza. Her story still lives with me, not just because of how it unfolded, but because of how familiar it felt — like watching someone step back into their own skin after years of wearing a costume that no longer fit.

Eliza came to me during a time of intense burnout. On paper, her life looked nearly perfect — a stable career, financial security, professional respect. But when she spoke, there was no light in her voice. She described waking up each morning with dread, walking through her days feeling like a ghost. “I just feel like I’m living someone else’s dream,” she said quietly, as if afraid to say it too loudly.

She’d spent over a decade building a career in a field that once lit her up — but over time, that spark had dulled. What once felt purposeful had become performative. She wasn’t sure when exactly it had changed, only that the more she succeeded, the more she felt like she was disappearing. Her achievements were impressive, but they felt hollow. She was running on autopilot, disconnected not just from her work, but from herself.

When we began the reading, I could sense that her soul had already decided. She didn’t need permission — she needed reflection. Her energy was tender but restless, like a seedling just beneath the soil, ready to push through the surface. And then the cards confirmed what I felt.

The Hermit. The Star. The Two of Wands.

They came through one by one like a soft chant, ancient and knowing. The Hermit, standing alone on a mountain with his lantern, whispered of solitude and rediscovery — of a sacred pause that could reconnect her to her true inner light. The Star sparkled with hope, reminding her that her gifts hadn’t disappeared, only gone dormant. And the Two of Wands held her gently at the threshold, saying, you’re not lost — you’re preparing to choose again.

As I spoke the messages aloud, something shifted. Her eyes welled with tears. Not out of sadness, but recognition. It was as if her higher self had finally been heard — finally had a voice. I told her what I was feeling, too: that her soul wasn’t mourning the end of her old path, it was celebrating the start of a new one.

“I used to paint,” she said, almost as a confession. “I don’t even know why I stopped.”

That was the moment the reading deepened into something sacred. She wasn’t just receiving answers; she was reclaiming pieces of herself she had buried to fit into the world. And the cards didn’t force a decision or predict an outcome — they simply pointed toward the truth she already held inside. A truth that had waited patiently for her to remember.

In the weeks that followed, she messaged me with small but beautiful updates. She’d pulled out her old brushes and started painting in the evenings again. Not for anyone else. Just for herself. Then she enrolled in an expressive arts workshop. Then she began sharing her work with a few close friends. It was as if she was watering something long-forgotten — and it bloomed.

One year later, she opened her own healing art studio. It wasn’t loud or flashy, but it was hers. A quiet, sacred space where she now helps others express their emotions through creativity — guiding them to transform their own pain into color, form, and release. She had realigned with her essence, and in doing so, she became a lighthouse for others.

I often think about that reading when I reflect on what it truly means to align with purpose. It’s not about suddenly knowing everything or having a five-year plan. It’s about returning. Returning to what makes you feel alive. Returning to the energy that moves through you when no one else is watching. Returning to the truth that was always there, waiting for you to slow down and listen.

Eliza’s transformation wasn’t about the cards themselves — it was about the invitation they offered. The invitation to pause, feel, remember. Tarot is powerful because it bypasses the noise and speaks straight to the soul. It doesn’t tell you what to do. It reminds you of who you are.

And when you remember who you are, you become unstoppable.

Tools for Staying Aligned Daily

Tarot isn’t a one-time oracle. It can be a daily companion, helping you stay attuned to what matters most. Here are a few ways I personally use Tarot and guide my clients to use it for higher alignment:

• Morning pull: Ask, What energy should I embody today to stay aligned with my purpose?

• Weekly spread: Reflect on Where am I growing? What should I release? What’s my soul asking me to notice?

• Moon cycles: Use the New Moon for setting intentions and the Full Moon for reflection using Tarot spreads. I often create customized spreads during these times in my PDF or Audio-delivered readings.

By using Tarot consistently, you begin to recognize patterns. The same cards show up again and again — not as coincidence, but as gentle nudges from your higher self.

Not Just Prediction — but Activation

Many people associate Tarot with future predictions. And yes, it can offer glimpses into what’s unfolding. But what I offer through my practice at Tamas Medium Studio goes beyond that. My intention is not just to tell you what might happen, but to help you activate your inner knowing so you can create your aligned life.

Through offerings like my General Psychic Reading or No Tools Intuitive Reading, I channel energy directly, sometimes without cards, to bring through messages from your soul, your guides, and your unseen support.

Because the truth is — you’re never really lost. You’re simply in the process of remembering.

How to Know If You’re On the Right Path

Sometimes people ask, How do I know if I’m aligned with my purpose? The answer is in how you feel. Alignment feels clear. It feels expansive, even if it’s challenging. It makes your energy feel alive and meaningful. You may not have all the answers, but you’ll feel a quiet sense of “yes” in your heart.

And when you don’t? That’s okay too. Tarot can help gently bring you back, not with judgment, but with compassion. Every detour still holds wisdom.

That’s the heart of what I do. My mission is to help you hear the part of yourself that already knows — the part that’s been guiding you all along.

If you’re ready to reconnect, explore my Life Path & Spiritual Growth Collection and let’s begin a conversation with your soul.

You didn’t come here to wander aimlessly. You came here to awaken something beautiful.

Have you ever felt like your soul is calling you toward something greater, but you’re not sure how to listen?
