This is the essential guide for your personal journey with the Tarot.
Courtney Weber has been teaching Tarot and speaking at Tarot symposia around the country for a decade. In response to the numerous requests she has received over the years, Weber created Tarot for One, a personal workbook and resource guide designed to help form interpretations directly applicable to self-readings.
In Weber’s clean, clear style, this book explores the Fool, the Major Arcana, the Court Cards, Cups, Wands, Swords, and Pentacles, as well as what she calls the tough cards, reversals, practice spreads, and next steps. She includes common associations as well as extensive exercises to unlock readers’ own interpretations for connecting personal journeys with the archetypical Tarot. Readers will learn to let the voice of the Tarot come through without overlaying too much of their own “stuff” during a reading.
Tarot for One includes dozens of original Tarot spreads and layouts, which have been repeatedly proven both fun and effective in Weber’s classes and workshops. It also contains tips on finding a deck, honing a Tarot practice, and avoiding common self-reading pitfalls.

Whether you’re new to Tarot or have been reading for decades, GET THIS BOOK
This book is simultaneously an excellent primer for those new to Tarot and a fantastic guide to deepen the knowledge of someone who has read Tarot for decades. Personally, I’ve been studying and working with Tarot for 3-4 years now, and almost every single page of this book had a wonderful “aha!” moment for me, with new ways to interpret, new ways to read, lessons on how to trust one’s instincts while listening to the “voice” of their deck, and more. Most importantly, this book shows that you CAN read for yourself – it just takes practice and some special techniques. The exercises in this book will guide the Tarot reader towards a better relationship with their cards and help them confidently read for themselves, as well as others.Some particularly helpful sections include:-Several types of spreads designed for reading for yourself, designed for various scenarios-How to interpret tougher cards-Various ways to interpret reversals-Exercises to help you identify your own associations with all the cards-Exercises to deepen your relationships with all the cards – I found the exercises for the court cards particularly helpful, as those have always vexed me-Exercises to compare your life’s journey with the journey represented in the Major Arcana

Phenomenal book!
After finding Courtney Weber on tiktok I had to buy her book! It is outstanding. She gives multiple examples of card combinations that illustrate her points. There are many small nuances and nuggets of wisdom that do not appear in other publications. My meetup groups are going to do a book study of Tarot For One. Kudos Courtney!!!ðððððð

Lots of helpful tips on how to read Tarot for yourself
Tarot for One is a very useful overview of reading Tarot with special attention paid to what to watch out for when reading for yourself. For example, when you’re depressed, when you want a very specific answer, or when you ask the same question over and over again — these are probably not good times to pick up your Tarot deck!One of my favorite parts of the book is the chapter on reversals. Weber provides some overall guidelines for what reversals can mean, so you don’t need to memorize every single card’s reversal. Plus she provides a useful exercise for when you’re not sure how to read a reversal.Her section on how to interpret tough cards is also illuminating, as it reminds us that not every card is completely good or bad — she writes specifically about “relearning the tough cards” (thinking about possible positive meanings for cards traditionally seen as negative) and “the flip side of your favorite cards” (how cards we usually think of as positive can have less-than-positive meanings too).Last, she includes a variety of spreads to try out, and I appreciate that some of them include deliberate pulls (where you choose a card face up, based on what’s on the card) as well as random pulls (where you pull a card at random). The idea of deliberate pulls is powerful as a way of thinking actively about where you want to go with your relationship, your work, or your life — and then using Tarot to help you get there.

Tarot Guidance for the Ages & Generations to Come!
I read this book every day with my children and it has completely changed the way we are able to enjoy our spirituality! It is well written and uses references to my generation which makes it fun and easy to read for all ages! I would highly recommend it for anyone who is a little shy about the ways of the Tarot, but still want the opportunity to learn!
