One of the most profound readings I’ve conducted involved a new client with a very heavy past.
This individual, who appeared outwardly unremarkable—the kind of person you’d pass without a second glance—sought clarity through a Life Path Tarot Reading.
As an internationally acclaimed tarot reader, I’ve encountered countless life stories, but this one resonated deeply, serving as a poignant reminder of the necessity of forgiveness.
In the reading, I vividly saw their past profession, an upcoming career shift requiring formal education, and the exact role they were striving toward. These insights validated their current trajectory.
I also discerned a loving relationship and the possibility of 1 child in their future.
Near the session’s end, I received an intense, fleeting vision—a knife, blood, and the outline of an initial formed by white roses. Hesitant but compelled, I shared this with the client. They broke down, admitting, “I was involved in the loss of someone’s life. That initial belongs to them.”
Years earlier, they’d experienced a psychotic break that led to a tragic outcome, followed by incarceration and psychiatric care.
Today, they lived a seemingly ordinary life but carried an immense weight, seeking guidance on how to reconcile their karmic debt.
According to the Mayo Clinic, forgiveness can lead to healthier relationships, improved mental health, and a greater sense of peace. Learn more here.
Forgiveness Requires Action
In the session, I suggested envisioning their victim’s life had it not been cut short. Imagine their contributions: fostering community, volunteering, and strengthening humanity’s bonds.
This practice, I explained, could inspire a path of restitution.
To forgive oneself is to replace guilt with grace, and to live selflessly enough for both your life and theirs.
True forgiveness involves accountability paired with meaningful action—an intentional effort to contribute positively to the world.
The team at Conscious outlines the four stages of genuine forgiveness, emphasizing the importance of emotional release in healing. Explore the stages.
Why Self-Forgiveness Matters
The concept of forgiveness surfaces frequently in spiritual readings. Feeling trapped by guilt or emotional imprisonment is a common theme.
The easy route is avoidance, but unresolved guilt festers, compounding over time. Forgiveness doesn’t equate to forgetting. It’s a daily commitment to recognize the lessons learned from past actions and to integrate those lessons into your life moving forward.
Dwelling in a state of remorse does little to serve your growth or the greater good. Instead, reflect on the first impression that comes to you—often free of fear or anxiety—regarding what steps to take to make amends.
The answer may be simpler than expected: a heartfelt conversation, an act of service, or simply showing up for others in ways you’d previously neglected.
Psychology Today highlights that forgiveness is not just about letting go of resentment but also about freeing yourself from its hold. Read their insights.
Forgiving Others: A Path to Peace
Forgiving others can be as essential as forgiving yourself. My own experience with family has reinforced this truth. As we grow older, dissonance can emerge, often without anyone understanding why.
I’ve spoken with most of my aunts and uncles, many of whom haven’t spoken to one another in years.
Each conversation revealed a recurring sentiment: “I don’t know what I did to deserve this treatment, honestly.” Picking up the phone to initiate a conversation might seem daunting, but the act itself speaks volumes.
It shows courage and a willingness to heal.
This same theme came up with my best friend and their sibling, who have unresolved emotional wounds. When I met their mother, she expressed how her dying wish was for her children to reconcile.
I asked her, “Is there a sibling that you have discord with?” She scoffed, admitting, “Oh yes, but we have no good reason for it. It’s just been going on so long that it feels awkward to pick up the phone now.”
I advised her that no matter her age, it’s never too late to bury the hatchet. By leading by example, she could show her children what reconciliation looks like. How can she expect her kids to do something she herself is unwilling to attempt?
Forgiveness, even when it feels uncomfortable, creates a ripple effect. It’s a powerful way to model healing and unity for future generations.

For those seeking a tangible way to initiate self-forgiveness, consider this practice: draw a warm saltwater bath to cleanse and neutralize emotions.
Afterward, light a candle and visualize a fresh beginning.
