Is it possible to read the tarot cards for someone who is not present?

I recently started learning how to read the tarot cards, and would like to know if i can read the cards for someone who I have in mind? Even if they are not present? If so, how?

Is it possible to read the tarot cards for someone who is not present?
I'm still just an amateur, but this has been my experience:





I say "yes," it is possible, but not recommended. In the book that came with my deck, they say "absolutely, go for it, why not, just concentrate really hard on that individual." Which is fine, I guess, but the results I got weren't accurate to their actual situation, but did reflect my interpretation of their situation. So I try not to, personally. Maybe if you were able to stay objective and focused during the meditation, I don't know. Take those sort of readings with a grain of salt is what I say.
Reply:NO , you can not because it is an invasion of that person privacy, and according to the rules, if you have read in you guide book, it states , you can not, for the purposes of the universal rules. But if you were given permission to do so, then a yes.
Reply:it works better if the person is there...i always have them shuffle and cut while they're thinking of their question. it helps if their energy is there.





i think that some people do readings like that, but i never have.

Reply:If you have a very strong connection you MIGHT be able to, but it is usually not advised as that type of connection is likely to make your readings VERY subjective.





In my experience, it is FAR better to have face-to-face readings and NOT to read for relatives and close friends as it is hard to remain objective.





(I only break those rules in very limited circumstances as I have BECOME close friends with one person who was a "regular" of mine on Jackson Square AFTER I started reading for her)





I also have rules in my religion concerning readings that I follow that I will not go into here
Reply:Yes, however it can be challenging but it can help if you have a personal article of the person in your possession.








You simply have to focus your energy to the image of the person in your head. That will realign your signal to match theirs or as close as you can get.
Reply:No!
Reply:You can only do a surface or book reading. Without the querist there the deck cannot amplify your talent or subconscious. If you have no knowledge of the person nor any physical contact at any time the reading will be skewed if you go beyond the book meanings.
Reply:Yes, readings can be done without the person present.


I do readings for family and friends who live in a different town. Usually because we have different schedules, they will send me an email with the question and I will do the reading and type it us and send it back. If you are new to tarot, you might need to test your connection and develop it.
