Have you ever gone through a phase when you keep seeing the same Tarot card appearing in every reading you do, even if the reading is for someone else? It might feel like you are being ‘stalked’ by your very own Tarot cards, and in some ways, you are!
Sometimes, a particular Tarot card will repeatedly appear in your Tarot readings, regardless of whether the reading is for yourself or someone else. You might even find the same card ‘jumping’ from the Tarot deck as you shuffle. When you start seeing a Tarot card reappearing in your Tarot readings, you had better pay attention! This is your subconscious trying to send you a very important message.
Now, if you have been using the Tarot cards to understand the same question or issue in multiple readings, this may be your subconscious telling you, “I’ve told you once, I’m not telling you again!” So, take heed and allow some time to pass before you consult the cards once again.
If your ‘stalking’ Tarot card appears in multiple but unrelated readings, it’s time to take a moment to meditate on the Tarot card. Look at the imagery of the card and then allow your mind to go blank for a moment. Notice any thoughts, feelings or images that come to mind. Don’t try to analyse them straight away—just allow your mind to relax and open itself up to a deeper level of consciousness. After your meditation, write down what you experienced and then try to understand what this means for you in your everyday life.
As a secondary activity, you might like to perform a Tarot reading specifically to understand the meaning of the repeated card. You could use a simple one-card reading, along the lines of “What do I need to know about this card?” Alternatively, you may like to use the following three-card spread:
- What is the importance of this card in my life right now?
- What is preventing me from hearing the message of this card?
- How can I release any blockages?
By taking these steps, you will have acknowledged what it is your subconscious mind needed to tell you and will no longer be ‘stalked’ by the same card… until, of course, there is another subconscious message to be delivered!

Your website is just BEAUTIFUL! I do believe it is the best I have ever seen (I feel like I have seen thousands, certainly hundreds!)
Many Blessings.
I have been trying to get pregnat for some time and have done yes no spreads and the yes comes up at the begging of the month and no twoards the end?
Hi Tenille,
With something like trying to fall pregnant, there is a lot of personal emotion invested in the situation which can make reading the cards for yourself very difficult. You may be starting the month full of hope and by the end of the month, losing that hope when you realise you didn’t fall pregnant. My advice is to perhaps refocus your reading to what you need to do to open yourself to the possibility of pregnancy. So, perhaps look at what you can do on a spiritual, mental, emotional and physical level to prepare yourself for pregnancy. Of course, also listen to your medical practitioner for advice.
Hang in there – I know it’s a tough journey, but trust me, it’s so important not to stress about falling pregnant. Stress only makes it worse!

Your website is very helpful. Especially with the meanings. I have to laugh about this post, because my tarot cards do stalk me. However, they stalk me in my dreams. Two cards will appear out of nowhere. But, they stopped once I started paying attention to the message it sent me.
Anyways,thank you for this wonderful site.
Thanks Courtney for your positive feedback. Glad to hear I’m not the only one who gets ‘stalked’ by my Tarot cards!

Hello Biddy.For two weeks i have been doing tarot card readings every other day on different websites.On the majority of all my readings it keeps drawing The Empress card.I am currently awaiting to see if i am pregnant and was thinking this could be a sign.If not its fine with me but its so strange it keeps popping up ALL the time.Any meaning to this?
Hi Grace,
Well, the Empress can definitely be associated with pregnancy and fertility. However, it can also indicate a number of other influences as well (creativity, expression, beauty, feminine energy, etc.), so you will need to look to other cards in your readings to see if pregnancy is really a possibility. You might look out for the Page of Cups, Ace of Wands, Three of Cups and the Sun. Of course, best to head off to the chemist and buy yourself a pregnancy test if you think it’s a possibility – then you’ll know for sure!
Best of luck,
Biddy
Hello Biddy.Thankyou very much indeed for answering my question.Now you,ve said that ive also had the Sun quite a few times too and the Three of cups once or twice but i will for sure look at the whole picture also and look at it as a whole instead of not just concentrating on that specific card.But its still exciting though.Leave it to fate.Great website.Very informative and so interesting.All the very best to you and your visitors.
hey biddy wenever i do readings for someone the same card appears in all the questions i ask… for different people i do readings and if they ask 3 QUESTIONS same card appears in all three whats the reason behind?
Hi Isha,
Wow, three times in three readings! Now that’s stalking!! I would say that the message of that particular card is very strong for the client and may be indicative of a deeper issue that is at play and is begging to be addressed by the client. You may even like to draw an additional card to ask, “What is the significance of this card in the client’s life?”
Hope that helps,
Biddy
Hello Biddy!
I keep getting The Tower card; it is ridiculous to what extent this ill omen is ‘stalking’ me.
It keeps appearing not only in my tarot readings but in my stichomancy readings as well! I nearly jumped out of my skin when my scarcely illustrated fairytale book opened to a picture of a crumbling tower. And what tower too! It is nearly the exact copy of the tarot card; it happened the same day that I kept getting the tower in my tarot card readings (no matter how many times I shuffled the deck).
I know it is my conscience speaking, it has been eating me for years, reducing me to a petrified hare.
Is there any way I can escape a tragic outcome?
Hi Sam,
Thanks for sharing. I actually really like the Tower… I know it looks quite scary with that tower being struck by lightning and the people leaping out of the windows, however what I like most about this card is that with destruction comes creation. So, reflect on what it is in your own life that needs to be destructed, broken down, and then rebuilt. What beliefs, thoughts, perceptions, etc. need to be shaken up and changed for the better? What structures are being altered in your own life? How can you facilitate this change in a way that will create new beginnings and new thought patterns?
Hope this helps, Biddy
I agree about the Tower. It kept coming up in several of my readings, even when other people did them. Often times the death card would appear too. It scared me and I was often given advice at face value of the cards(without taking hints from theierintution as well) which ade everything seem doom and gloom. Along with star card, which appears frequently, I’m now starting to see what I wasn’t able long ago. The Tower does not represent (in all cases) doom or destruction but almost rebirth or a new creation. It basically says “everything you thought you knew, you DONT!” and shows that your life is about to be taken on a wild ride. In regards to the relaitonship reading, this proved to be correct. Both of us had some negative thinking that needed to be sorted out. I needed to learn things, which ened up being quite painful. He needed a jolt and some time to think things over.
As for the Death card, I beleive it means the same thing or something similar. I was often given the doom and gloom reading but found it eant rebirth. I found this to be particularly true in my general readings(where my thought processes needed to be changed) and relationship reading as well.
And of course, the star card. I actually dont like this one because I need to work on patience.
I find it’s best not to take these cards for face value. Listen to your inner voice or eyes and it will help guide you to the right answer. Also, theres just soem things you don’t need to know… yet.
Fantastic insights and thoughts – thanks for sharing! I love that you have been able to see the positive elements to what are typically very ‘feared’ cards in the Tarot.

I was wondering if getting the same card in a reading twice means the same as described above, meaning you must pay attention to it and it is of great importance for you to know. Because I think I might have pulled the same card twice in a reading and it was about: A boy looking at me with loving eyes ( I think this means he is in love with me)Does getting and hearing this twice in the reading while I may pull some cards, if this means it is certain that he likes me? And I was wondering wich cards can tell you if someone might be in loce with you.
Hi Janine,
Getting the same card in a reading twice is often a sign of your cards ‘stalking’ you! So, yes, it is important to pay attention to that card. I think it is also important to go with what your gut feeling is about that card, so if it feels like a sign that there is someone who is in love with you, then that is certainly a possibility.
Biddy
And I had a reading with the Minor Arcana cards so it’s wich of those cards that can tell you that.
Hi Biddy,
I went through a bad breakup with a man I’ve known for many years, still somewhat friends with and still in love with. I’ve done readings on various sites to help find my right path, and one card that always seems to pop up is the Knight of Cups (and sometimes a few others about potential mates). Also, when getting readings with traditional playing cards – marriage bed and ring always pop up, too.
Is this just my subconscious hopes coming out or are the cards really trying to tell me something? Considering my situation, I’m cautious but I’m also VERY new to this so I would love any direction on how to view this.
Hi Joanna,
Thanks for sharing. I typically see the Knight of Cups as someone new who is incredibly romantic and who will sweep you off your feet. So, it might actually be representative of someone other than your ex?
You could also argue that, yes, it’s your subconscious talking to you, but I can’t help but think it’s mixed in with what the Universe has in store for you too.
Warm regards, Brigit
