Rachel True vividly recalls the moment she, at the age of eight, first encountered a deck of tarot cards. She remembers thinking, "This is a language, and I can learn to speak this language." So began the actress's lifelong tarot practice, which culminated in the publication of her own beautiful deck, in 2020 (her face is on the Empress card, if you look closely). Today, True's Intuitive Heart Tarot Deck is among the countless options available to purchase, from tried-and-true classics like the Rider-Waite-Smith on Amazon to indie decks sold on Etsy. For beginning readers looking for guidance on love, life, and beyond, the only issue is abundance: Where should you begin? Ultimately, it's a personal journey. Psychic medium Michael Cardenas tells Oprah Daily, there is "no one correct deck" to start with. "Everyone is going to connect with a different deck. Look for the one that will literally speak to you." Psychic medium and tarot reader Sarah Potter recommends researching the decks' artwork on sites like Aeclectic Tarot prior to buying, since the design conveys the cards' significance. "Being able to connect with the imagery is so important. Select a deck that you find yourself in and offers the right mirror," she says. If you're torn between decks, tarot reader and astrologer Lexi Ferguson recommends investing in more than one. "Take the guesswork out of it. Get three, four, five decks, and see which one you keep grabbing," Ferguson says. "You don't need to do soul-searching. It'll happen along the way when it feels like your deck because it's the one you keep reaching for."Another trick? Memoirist and Michelle Tea recommends dwelling on a deck before purchasing. "You'll keep thinking about it—that’s how you know you really want it," she says. Below, we consulted a range of professionals about the beautiful, top-rated tarot card decks they recommend for beginners.

Are twin flames stronger than soulmates?

While soul mate relationships are often less intense, twin flame relationships can be extremely chaotic. "Twin flame relationships can be much deeper and more profound than a soul mate partnership because they lead to wholeness," Kaiser says—but that's if both people have done their soul's work.

Twin flames are often believed to be two halves of one soul or "mirrors of each other," Spinelli says. This includes both strengths and weaknesses. "Twin flames are generally described as two individuals who very intensely connect, usually as romantic partner, because of a shared pain," she adds. That said, twin flame relationships aren't necessarily about love, and it often requires a great deal of inner work for two twin flames to make a partnership work. According to Spinelli, there's a common misconception that twin flames are supposed to "complete" each other—which can lead to an unhealthy dynamic between the two, as people are supposed to feel complete on their own.
