I think magic would come very handy right now, especially in times like these; in a seemingly apocalyptic world where everyone who goes out risk contracting a deadly virus making physical social interaction a rarity, magic and powers like teleportation or the Floo Network would be a godsend. 

Thankfully, before the pandemic even began, we were all living with one foot irl and the other already online. So a certain kind of magic that’s not so fictional is also being discovered by people in quarantine in the form of tarot cards and its archetypes. Online tarot readings have helped people navigate living in the midst of the coronavirus crisis as well as setting up plans for what comes after. 

As we’re suddenly thrust in an unfamiliar situation, tarot can be entertaining, comforting or eye-opening. Jessa Crispin, the author of “The Creative Tarot: A Modern Guide to an Inspired Life” says that tarot can help people get past their protective layers and set them on their way to self-understanding. So for those exploring tarot as a way to better themselves or at least get a semblance of direction in life, here are some tarot-centered Instagram accounts that can get you started.

Here’s my hot take on The Emperor in this moment: get in touch with your way of doing this thing, whatever that looks like. What is your version of survival? If you have two left paws and suck at making masks, then don’t do it! If all you want to do is bake, make all the bread. If you don’t feel like creating art right now, let it rest. If doing yoga is triggering, leave your body and read your way to another place. Just because someone you follow on IG is pumping up and pumping out X doesn’t mean you have to. Stop comparing and find your own space that is aligned with what is true for you in this moment. Success is an external measurement, productivity is a mandate of capitalism, doing something “right” is a trap of perfectionism. Don’t let that dictate how you stay healthy. Being safe at home is a privilege! Call it all into question and build your Emperor’s throne right where you are – even if it’s made of homemade bread (or convenience store donuts). . . . . . #theemperor #tarotcards #tarot #thewildunknown #tree #tarotreader #chester_reads_tarot #hottake #covid19 #quarantine #survival #safety #alignment #trustyourself #letitrest #putitdown #begoodtoyourself #thefallofcapitalism #throne #makeyourthrone #caturday #tuxedocat #tuxedocatsofig #catstagram #catphotography

Discerning your future and working towards a better self is not just for people, animals can be in on it too. Chester’s Instagram is a good blend of cat puns, advice you never knew you needed and cute cat portraits. He also provides “hot takes” on real-life situations based on one of the cards from the tarot deck. You can be assured of tough love and solid advice when it comes to this Instagram page.

This is a reading to anyone who finds this post: Energy scattered. Unfocused. Instead of involving yourself 100%, consider slowing down and taking your time. Not everything has to happen today.

Lois Veloso has been a professional tarot consultant for more than a year already. This “millennial manghuhula” approaches tarot as a way to advocate for better mental health practices. In an Instagram exchange with the Preen team, she says, “I believe that tarot is an amazing tool for self-awareness and being more conscious of our thoughts and actions. By understanding who we are, it is easier to accept the good and bad and this would be a good start to take actions for self-improvement.”

Tarot is almost always looked at as mystical and mysterious but illustrator and tarot reader Fables Den turns that stereotype on its head. She shares with the Preen team that she approaches tarot and spirituality with a geeky, whimsical and creative lens—which we see in her Way of The Panda Tarot deck that features pandas drawn as fanciful versions of the tarot archetypes. As with all other tarot enthusiasts, she sees tarot as a tool for personal development and spirituality but hopes to make it fun and relatable. “A lot of people seem to have the idea that spirituality is either religious in nature or you need to be covered in crystals and the smell of sage from head to toe. But spirituality is about accepting your own quirkiness and really tuning into your own language. For me, that’s accessing spirituality through the creative storytelling of tarot, activating the playfulness of my inner child through cute doodles and art, as well as venturing life as if it’s a big adventure.”

🌹Venus Rx in Gemini🌹⠀ On May 13th, Venus will go retrograde in Gemini. The planet of love only makes this backwards trip every 18 months and it lasts around 40 days. ⠀ Because it is so infrequent, this retrograde is the one most felt by us on a personal level, so it is important to be prepared. ⠀ Things that get highlighted by this transit: your outward appearance, emotional and relationship issues, money and possessions.⠀ Tips: block that toxic ex (because this falls in Gemini, contact will be attempted), do not make drastic changes to your appearance, get your finances and taxes in order (before it begins), make art, take up a hobby (one that is just for fun), build an altar or sacred space, do your spring cleaning.⠀ .⠀ ..⠀ .⠀ . #blackandthemoon #tarotreadersofig #tarotreading #tarotreader #tarotspread #dailytarot #oraclecards #oracledeck #taroteverydamnday #tarotcommunity #witchesofinstagram #witchesofig #witchesdoitbetter #witchywoman #halloweeneveryday #witchythings #witchessociety ⠀ ⠀ ⠀

If you’re already an astrology-enthusiast, Claire Goodchild’s approach to tarot will be an easy entry point for you. Her spreads incorporate astrology and tarot, making the readings a bit more comprehensive. The card reveals are timed with astrological movements, like eclipses or retrogrades, so you know what’s in the future for you based on different aspects. Aside from extensive readings, her feed is a visual delight—it’s a blend of dark academia and cottagecore that we can only hope to achieve.

What is your intention for the day? My Card of the Day is The Hermit. What sticks out to me most is the little moth there by her lantern. This isn't about needing to go off to seek knowledge, but realizing the knowledge is within and allowing that to guide my steps forward. It's time to allow your light to truly shine and trust in the guidance within. If the things you are attracting to you aren't aligned with your desires, it's time to ask why and trust the answers that come forward. Like the moth, your light will draw people, things and experiences to you. Make sure that you are allowing your best and highest self to shine through. My intention for today is to meditate and to spend time journaling on my experience. Share your daily intention with me in the comments below. 🔮Deck: Afro Goddess Tarot Arcanas by @art.goddess.drea #biddytarot #tarot

Owned by Brigit Esselmont, Biddy Tarot, established in 1999, is a pioneer of internet tarot reading. Biddy Tarot’s Instagram page is a haven of good nuggets for self-discovery—there are quizzes to discover your leadership style, interpretations of each card in the tarot deck and even a guide on how to form the best questions for your situation. Veteran tarot card readers will appreciate this account as well because it provides tips on how to create spreads based on the seasons of the year or problems of the person they’re reading. A social justice tarot spread might just help us out in our fight to #VetoTerrorBill.
