Trust Your Intuition: While traditional meanings are useful, your intuition can provide additional insight. Trust your gut feelings about what a symbol means in the context of your question or situation.
Look for Patterns: Consider how the symbols relate to each other. A cluster of symbols may indicate a stronger influence or theme.
Practice Regularly: The more you practice, the more familiar you will become with the symbols and their meanings. Keep a journal of your readings to track patterns and improve your skills.
Create a Calm Environment: Ensure you are in a quiet, relaxed setting where you can focus without distractions. This will help you better connect with your intuitive abilities.
